Guilmero del Toro schreibt in 13 Tweets über Edgar Wrights Baby Driver. Eigentlich schwärmt er. Scheint ja ganz ok zu sein, der Film.

Mir wäre ein dritter Film mit Ron Perlman von Del Toro wesentlich lieber ... ich mochte besonders den zweiten Teil sehr gerne. Es gab vor ein paar Monaten noch eine Nachricht im Netz von Del Toro wo er sich mit Perlman zusammen setzen wollte um über einen weiteren Teil zu sprechen ... scheint wohl Nichts daraus geworden zu sein.

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Die Beiden haben sich zusammengesetzt und Ron Perlman war ja auch Feuer und Flamme für das Projekt, aber das Studio hat eben anders entschieden.

Jamie Lee Curtis wird als Laurie Strode für den neuen Halloween-Film zurückkehren. Damit ist das wohl nun kein erneuter Reboot, sondern wohl eher eine Fortsetzung der alten Halloween-Reihe.
 

Zitat

Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode in Halloween Movie, coming to theaters October 19, 2018.

Nachtrag: Der Film wird wohl die Sequels ignorieren und nur auf dem Original aufbauen.

Zitat

It was over two years ago that Blumhouse announced they were set to bring the next chapter in the Halloween franchise to the big screen and have continued to turn heads with their ideas for the project. Their latest announcement is definitely intriguing as they’ve confirmed Jamie Lee Curtis will return to the franchise that kicked off her career and she will once again be playing the iconic role of Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers.
Fans are likely scratching their heads at this revelation, since Curtis’ character was unceremoniously killed off in Halloween: Resurrection in 2002, but in true Halloween franchise fashion it would appear that the film will be ignoring the continuity of many of the sequels in favor of telling its own story. Curtis has previously appeared in four films in the series, including the 1978 original, its 1981 sequel, 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and Resurrection.
David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Your Highness) will direct Halloween and co-write the script for the film with Danny McBride (yes, Eastbound & Down star Danny McBride).
Carpenter will executive produce with Malek Akkad producing for Trancas and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse. Green and McBride will also executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner. Zanne Devine and David Thwaites will oversee for Miramax which is co-financing with Blumhouse.
The film will arrive in theaters from Universal Pictures on October 19, 2018, forty years after the premiere of the original film.

Es ist im Gespräch, eine "Lord of the Rings"-Serie zu produzieren.

Zitat

Peter Jackson has already successfully adapted J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of The Rings novels into a trilogy of movies, but it seems the studio behind those critically acclaimed features is now looking to bring the adventures of Frodo, Gandalf, Gollum and co. to the small screen. According to Variety, Warner Bros. Television and Tolkien's estate are in talks with Amazon Studios to develop a series based on the exploits of the now iconic Middle Earth characters. However, negotiations are said to be in the very early stages, and no deal has been reached yet.

Samuel L. Jackson darf noch einmal als SHAFT ran

Zitat

 

Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse, Straight Outta Compton) is in final negotiations to join Samuel L. Jackson, Richard Roundtree and Jesse T. Usher in the upcoming Shaft movie, according to Deadline. The movie comes to us from Netflix and New Line Cinema. Neftlix will stream Shaft outside of the U.S. once New Line gives it a theatrical release in the United States.

Jesse T. Usher (Independence Day: Resurgence) will play the estranged son of the detective that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about. As an FBI agent and cyber expert, the young and old Shafts are forced to team up and will butt heads throughout the new film. Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role of John Shaft (nephew of the original John Shaft) from the 2000 reboot by John Singleton. The original Shaft, Richard Roundtree, will also reprise his role as “Uncle John Shaft” for a bonafide Shaft family reunion.

Tim Story, best known for Fox’s first two Fantastic Four movies from 2005 and 2007, will direct the film, which has a script by Kenya Barris (Girls Trip, black-ish). Story has carved out a healthy run of recent comedy hits, including the two Think Like a Man films and both Ride Along movies.

Filming will begin on the new Shaft movie in December. Alexandra Shipp is known for her work in X-Men: Apocalypse where she played a young Storm. She’s also appeared in Straight Outta Compton as well as Tragedy Girls and Drumline: A New Beat.

Mal wieder ein sehr bekanntes "Firefly"-Gerücht

Zitat

After Joss Whedon’s Firefly got abruptly canceled, there has been a great deal of buzz about a revival or a Serenity sequel. Almost twice every year, we hear reports about Whedon, Nathan Fillion and other actors being questioned about the possibility.
Nobody has ever rejected the possibility, but, it is something that needs to see a lot of right conditions to converge before any progress being made. Most of those who were associated with the original are now busy with other projects.
Various revival series’ are coming up such as The X-Files, Prison Break, Twin Peaks, Full House,Gilmore Girls, etc. and thus, there is a better chance of this sci-fi series getting revived. Fox is definitely not averse to the idea, in fact, they are welcome to it.
David Madden, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting had recently spoken about it in an interview with Rotten Tomatoes. Madden said that he would think about it if Whedon is willing to do it.
So, it all comes down to Whedon now who has been extremely busy in the recent years with Avengers films for Marvel. Therefore, the key question is.. Will Whedon be willing to do it? If yes then he should convey that to Fox! Whedon had said three years ago:
“I’ve said repeatedly that I would love to make another movie with these guys, and that remains the case. It also remains the case that I’m booked up by Marvel for the next three years and that I haven’t even been able to get Dr. Horrible 2 off the ground because of that. So I don’t even entertain the notion of entertaining the notion of doing this and won’t. Couple years from now, when Nathan [Fillion]’s no longer [on] Castle and I’m no longer the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universe and making a giant movie, we might look and see where the market is then.”
Now that he is through with Marvel and Castle is no longer on Fillion’s table anymore, maybe there is a chance. Firefly might return as a film or a limited series. It doesn’t matter. Anything would be equally awesome. We just want to see those characters return for at least one more round of wild adventure.

Update zu dem geplanten FORBIDDEN ZONE 2 von Richard Elfman

Zitat

 

Dear Friends:

1. Sorry long time without update—been working my clown-ass off!
2. Been CLOSE to starting FZ2 multiple times now. Ultimately had to trim budget, had to do total rewrite (8 pages shorter now). Had to have numbers team rewrite new budgets for places with film tax deals (upstate NY, Spain, London, etc).
3. As often the case with independent films, it takes years of starts and stops and starts and stops-- a total tenacity and perseverance to finally get to the screen. That has been the case here—we have never stopped working on FZ2!
4. FORBIDDEN ZONE 2 IS MY DAMNED BUCKET LIST! I can’t die until it is done! At the risk of sounding pretentious, it is my holy mission to share this film’s music and absurdity with posterity. THIS FILM WILL BE MY LEGACY!
5. The producer team on FZ2 recently offered me a super low budget little sci-fi comedy to direct in December. On top me needing some income, they said doing little film will totally facilitate their ability to finally close the deal on the larger film: FZ2. That’s how things work in Hollywood.
6. When I looked at what I am grateful for on Thanksgiving, along with my wonderful family—I WAS GRATEFUL FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON FZ2.
7. Thank you. God bless you. And with every cell of my being and the total force of my soul—I swear that we shall create a wonderful, fun and outrageous film to knock the world on it’s ass. Forbidden Zone 2. It is coming! Yes, it is coming!

Love you all,
Richard

Ein Einblick in das neue Jurassic World.

 

[horner1980]

Nachdem es wohl nichts mit dem "Kidnapping"-Film von Spielberg wird, könnten nun seine nächsten Projekte entweder Indy 5 sein oder ein Remake von "West Side Story", was wohl ein Traumprojekt von ihm seit vielen Jahren ist und das er sich nun erfüllen will. 

Zitat

 

West Side Story is apparently a passion project for Spielberg — the director has apparently long been interested in remaking the 1961 musical, itself an adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Deadline reports that frequent Spielberg collaborator Tony Kushner has been working on the script for West Side Story, which would be a modern version of the Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim musical. Spielberg’s career has spanned nearly every movie genre, with the director never balking from science-fiction, horror, historical dramas, and animated films, but this would be the first time he tackles a musical. The closest he’s come to the genre was probably as executive producer of the musical TV series Smash, but this would be the first time he would actually direct a musical. That in and of itself is exciting enough.

Meanwhile, the state of the Indiana Jones sequel has remained in question since the tepid reception of 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the action-adventure franchise came along as a package deal. Spielberg has reportedly been considering Jurassic World star Chris Pratt to star alongside Harrison Ford in the fifth movie about the archaeologist action hero. Disney hired David Koepp to pen the script and even set a release date for 2020. But since Spielberg works at his own pace, it’s uncertain whether that date is set in stone.

That’s not to say that Spielberg works at a sluggish pace. Far from it. In fact, Spielberg’s workload could be described as frenzied: he’s often taken on two movies back-to-back, like with last year’s The Post and the upcoming Ready Player One. Multi-tasking Spielberg can produce some of his best work — remember when he released both Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List in 1993? I wouldn’t be surprised if he took on both Indiana Jones 5 and West Side Story at the same time.

But those will probably be the only films he’s attached to direct for now. Deadline notes that his other project, The Kidnapping Of Edgardo Mortara, has fizzled out after an arduous casting call for the young Jewish lead turned up no results.

Ich bin sehr gespannt auf die Neuinterpretation, was schon lange ein Traumprojekt für Spielberg ist. Freue mich für ihn, dass er sich das nun erfüllen kann. 
Übrigens wird das kein einfaches Casting, da Spielberg hier gezielt nach Latino-Schauspieler suchen will, die nicht nur schauspielern können, sondern auch singen. Daher beginnt er mit dem Casting auch jetzt schon, obwohl sein nächster Film "Indy 5" ist.

Zitat

 

Steven Spielberg has begun the casting process for new screen adaptation of the Broadway musical West Side Story, which the 71-year-old filmmaker will tackle after he first shoots a new Indiana Jones movie.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Spielberg plans to shoot what would be the fifth Indy installment in 2019 with a goal of having it released in 2020. That, however, is not stopping him from actively working on West Side Story, which started its casting search this week. The move, which prompted speculation that West Side could be his next movie, is expected to take some time since Spielberg is planning an extensive search to find the right actors. Casting notices were sent out Wednesday, as Spielberg and producers Kristie Macosko Krieger, who works regularly with Spielberg, and Kevin McCollum, the Broadway producer whose resume includes the Tony Award-winning musicals Rent, In the Heights and Avenue Q, began a search for the young leads to carry the dance-fueled story of two young lovers from opposing cultural sides in 1950s New York. While some have been surprised that the director is tackling the 1961 musical as his next project (given that the indelible dance sequences in the version by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins are considered classics), the notices provide a clue as to what kind of movie Spielberg is looking to make. The most striking difference is that Spielberg seems to be taking steps to cast the movie in an ethnically authentic manner, especially at a moment when Latino activists are asking for more on-screen representation.
West Side Story is set against the backdrop of a changing and simmering New York City as two gangs, a white gang called the Jets and a Puerto Rican gang called the Sharks, fight for their place in the streets. Issues of immigrant life and assimilation are touched upon as the two lovers, white Tony and Latina Maria, the sister of the Sharks’ leader, dream of running away and getting married.
In the original movie, Natalie Wood, a white actress of Ukrainian descent, played Maria. George Chakris, a Greek-American, played her brother and Sharks leader Bernardo. The only Latin lead in the original was Rita Moreno, who played Bernardo’s girlfriend, Anita. Moreno brought some authenticity to the proceedings since she was born in Puerto Rico. 
In a sign of the times, Spielberg is looking to cast a Latina actress as Maria (“Must be able to sing. Must be able to speak Spanish,” read the notice). Anita is once again earmarked for a Latina actress. And Bernardo would also be played by a Latino.
Another indication of the approach the movie could take: McCollum was one of the producers of a 2009 Broadway production of West Side Story, which experimented with the Puerto Rican characters speaking in Spanish and which some of their songs, like Maria's "I Feel Pretty," were sung in Spanish, with new lyrics translated by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Employing a heavily Latino cast would be a striking move for major studio. While movements of #OscarSoWhite have put a spotlight on the overwhelming white nature of Hollywood casting, much of attention has focussed on the opportunities afforded black talent. Latinos make up almost 18 percent of the population in the U.S., according to 2016 census figures, and make up an even bigger share of regular moviegoers.
Insiders says the casting process began early because the project is contingent on finding the right cast. The director spent several years actively casting his period drama The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, but ran into obstacles in doing so. Mortara told of a Jewish boy who was taken away from his parents and raised Catholic in 1850s Italy. Spielberg in the end could not find his lead youngster and pivoted to making The Post, which was just nominated for a best picture Oscar.
And while Indy 5 is the next to go for Spielberg, insiders don't rule out the miniscule chance that another project, small-ish in scale, could shoot up from the development pile and grab his interest.

Neue Regisseure für BAD BOYS FOR LIFE und ein paar Details über die kommende Bad Boys-Serie. 
 

Zitat

 

The long-spoken-of sequel Bad Boys for Life is finally happening, according to Deadline. Sony Pictures is reportedly in talks with Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah to direct the film starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The film is reportedly looking at an August production start. Jerry Bruckheimer will produce the film.

The newest draft of the script for Bad Boys for Life was written by Chris Bremner. The film has been talked about for years, though it was moved off of Sony’s schedule. El Arbi and Fallah wrote and directed Black, a story about organized crime in Belgium. They recently directed a number of episodes, including the pilot, for the FX series Snowfall. They are currently attached to Beverly Hills Cop 4. Bad Boys II was released in theaters in 2003, a sequel to the 1995 original film, which went on to gross $273 million worldwide (the first film earned $141 million). It starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence plus Jordi Mollà, Peter Stormare, Theresa Randle and Joe Pantoliano.
In addition to the film, NBC is casting for their upcoming untitled Bad Boys spinoff TV series. The show stars Gabrielle Union as Syd Burnett, reprising her role from Bad Boys II. Ernie Hudson was recently cast in the show, and he’ll play Joseph Burnett, Syd’s father. In the series, Burnett has left the DEA and now has a fresh start in her new job as an LAPD detective. She’s partnered with Nancy McKenna, a working mom who can’t help but look at Syd’s freedom with some grass-is-greener envy. These two have totally different lifestyles and approaches, but they both are at the top of their fields in this action-packed, character-driven procedural. The as-yet-untitled show is written by The Blacklist writers-producers Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier. Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the Bad Boys movies, and Doug Belgrad, who worked on the franchise as well, will executive produce the series with Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed.

Die Langfassung von dem "total anspruchsvollen" Werk "Kung Fury" bekommt einen namhaften Star.

Zitat

 

The hotly anticipated feature-length follow-up to one of the biggest cult short film of recent years has lined up an Oscar-nominated star. Michael Fassbender has been cast in David Sandberg's action-comedy Kung Fury, which Sandberg will also star in and produce under his Laser Unicorns banner, alongside Fassbender. David Hasselhoff, who appeared in the original Kung Fury and sang the theme song "True Survivor," will also join the cast. Released in 2015, Kung Fury was a Kickstarter record-breaking success, was selected for the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes and has gained over 40 million views worldwide. The feature, which will be a sequel to the original short, is set to shoot this summer in Europe and the U.S. (Watch the original here.) The action is set in 1985 Miami, which is kept safe under the watchful eye of Kung Fury, the greatest damn cop of all time. Kung Fury’s Thundercops are the ultimate police force assembled from across history to defeat the villainous Kung Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. After the tragic death of a Thundercop causes the group to disband, a mysterious villain emerges from the shadows to aid in the Fuhrer’s quest to attain the ultimate weapon. Kung Fury must travel through space and time itself to save his friends, defend the prestigious Miami Kung Fu Academy and defeat evil once and for all. David Katzenberg, Seth Grahame-Smith and Aaron Schmidt will produce under their KatzSmith Productions banner, following their enormous success with It, which grossed over $700 million worldwide to become the biggest-grossing horror film of all time. Philip Westgren of B-Reel Films and Conor McCaughan will also produce. Pelle Strandberg is executive producing on behalf of Laser Unicorns. Bloom will handle international sales and introduce the film next week to buyers at the Berlin International Film Festival. Endeavor Content and CAA will handle North American sales.
