Hello ladies and gentlemen, here is some movie news with some of my thoughts and opinions (which will be in BOLD print). So without further ado...
(NOTE: All of these stories come from comingsoon.net)
Although it's only a rumor at this stage, Bleeding Cool, is meanwhile reporting that Warner Bros. appears to be planning a full trilogy of Wonder Woman solo films and, according to their unnamed source, the first one will take place back in the 1920s and will reveal Themyscira's first encounter with the outside world and Wonder Woman's own experiences with a USA that still had a lot to learn about equal rights. Then, they claim, a sequel is planned to take place in the 1940s, to will be set against the backdrop of World War II. A third would finally bring Wonder Woman's solo adventures to the contemporary setting of the planned Justice League films. Of course, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt at this stage. What is known for sure is that Gadot's Wonder Woman will make her debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, hitting theaters March 25, 2016 and will get her own solo film on June 23, 2017.
This is really interesting. Now for right now this is just a rumor and it hasn't been confirmed by DC/Warner Bros.. With that being said, hearing this shows a lot of guts by DC simply because of the major backlash of the Gal Gadot casting, but also because Wonder Woman is an unproven character. We still haven't seen how the DCCU will shape out and one bad film could put the whole cinematic universe into a tail spin. I think that DC need to calm down and just be patient before coming up with sequels.
Speaking of Gal Gadot, it was thought that the female lead in MGM and Paramount's upcoming Timur Bekmambetov-helmed remake of Ben-Hur had gone to Gal Gadot, The Hollywood Reporter today brings world that Gadot's commitments to Warner Bros.' massive DC Cinematic Universe slate will prevent her from taking the role. Set for a release on February 26, 2016, the new take on Ben-Hur was originally scripted by Keith Clarke (The Way Back), with revisions by Academy Award-winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave). Gadot was to have played Esther, a slave and romantic interest to Jack Huston's leading man. Check back to find out who will be playing the part as soon as a decision is made.
I'm not surprised with the news. From everything I've heard, Gal Gadot will be in the majority of the films that they announced so she is going to be pretty busy over the next 5 years. She may have time to do a few smaller projects here and there, but I don't see her doing a big-budget film along with trying to obligate her duties with Wonder Woman.
Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies have debuted a new pantastic trailer and poster for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, which will swim into theaters in 3D on February 6, 2015. You can check it out below. In the film, SpongeBob SquarePants, the world's favorite sea dwelling invertebrate, comes ashore to our world for his most super-heroic adventure yet. The movie is based on the series created by Stephen Hillenburg. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water stars Antonio Banderas, Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence and Douglas Lawrence. The film is directed by Paul Tibbitt from a story by Tibbitt and Hillenburg, following 2004's The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which grossed over $140-million worldwide.
Ok when the first trailer came out I said the film looked like it was going to suck and the first trailer was too cheesy. Well after this trailer I'm eating my words becuase this one was so much funnier than the first and now I'm actually looking forward to the film. Hopefully the film can be as good as this trailer.
Seth Rogen is, according to Variety, set to play Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak opposite Christian Bale's Steve Jobs in the upcoming Danny Boyle-helmed biopic based on Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs, officially described as follows: Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
This is really interesting casting. Seth Rogen is mainly known for being the funny guy in the room and he doesn't do any serious roles. But putting him in this role to me is inspired casting and very bold. Look if you don't know the true story behind the friendship of steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak weren't always the greatest of friends (especially towards the end of Steve Jobs life). I'm really anxious to see how Rogen plays the role and it may lead to an Oscar nomination (but it's way too early).
Deadline brings word today that Legendary Pictures and Universal's upcoming King Kong prequel Skull Island is set to get a re-write from screenwriter John Gatins, who was nominated for an Academy Award for the 2012 film Flight and also penned the adaptations of Real Steel and Need for Speed. The initial draft of the film was penned by Godzilla scribe Max Borenstein. Set to be directed by The Kings of Summer's Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Skull Island will star Loki himself Tom Hiddleston, though what role he plays in the film has yet to be confirmed. Appearing to be a sort of Kong “origin story,” Skull Island looks like it will explore the life of the classic movie monster before he was taken to civilization. Previous works have touched on the island, but staying and exploring this mysterious and dangerous place offers Legendary the opportunity to take audiences deeper inside this rich world with a style and scope that parallels other Legendary productions. Skull Island is set for release on November 4, 2016 where it is scheduled to go up against Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange film.
I'm actually not surprised by the news. It's still very early in the developmental process for the film so going through a rewrite this early ins't shocking. All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to this film and I cannot wait to see what it leads to.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, which of these stories peaked your interest or was there another story that interested you? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
