Rosario Dawson In Talks For ‘Full-Fledged Horror’ X-Men Spinoff, New Mutants

May 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fox is busy expanding it X-Men movie universe with a variety of spin-offs, including Deadpool 2, Gambit and New Mutants. Following the success of Deadpool and Logan, it looks like they’re not gonna be afraid to try something a little different again with the last of those, as director Josh Boone told EW, “We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe. There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.”

The film is now starting to come together, with the news, via THR, that Rosario Dawson is in talks to stars in the movie, joining Split’s Anya Taylor-Joy and Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams. The film will centre of a team of mutants, but one that’s more teen-driven and angsty that X-Men, with Dawson as ‘Dr. Cecilia Reyes, a medical doctor who has the ability to generate a protective bio-field around herself. The character assumes a mentor role for the group of fledgling heroes…’

‘Taylor-Joy is playing Illyana Rasputin, code-named Magik, a girl who has learned sorcery and uses teleportation discs to travel. Williams is Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane, a girl struggling to reconcile her religious beliefs with her power to turn into a wolf.’ The five young mutants in the movie are being held in a facility against their will, having to learn to to deal with the powers, which have proven a danger to others in the past.

The movie is due to start shooting in June, for release April 13th, 2018.

Fault In Our Stars Director Josh Boone Takes On Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles

August 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Josh Boone made his name with the character-based films Stuck In Love and the recent hit Fault In Our Stars, but he’s already shown he’s keen to get stuck into genre fare by signing on to direct a movie version of Stephen King’s The Stand.

Now he’s taking on another high profile property, as just a few weeks after it was revealed Universal had snapped up the rights to all 13 of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels, TheWrap reports Boone is being lined up to helm the first of the films, in what the studio hopes will become a franchise.

While earlier reports suggested the movie would be based around Christopher Rice’s (Anne’s son) screenplay adapted from The Tale Of The Body Thief, it now seems Boone will write the script itself and it will based on Queen Of The Damned and The Vampire Lestat. While those are the second and third book in the series, it seems Universal is avoiding Interview With The Vampire, due to the fact the Neil Jordan film version is still well respected and if their film pales in comparison it could ruin any franchise hopes. It also means they can set the new film largely in the present day.

While the was a movie version of Queen Of The Damned that worked in parts of The Vampire Lestat, few people saw the film so the studio doesn’t seem to mind having another go at it. Whether Boone will also manage to retain The Vampire Chronicles homoerotic edge is also yet to be seen.

It’s believed Boone will take of his Vampire Chronicles movie after he’s completed The Stand, as casting on the Stephen King adaptation is due to kick off soon for a presumed 2016 release.

Ansel Elgort & Nat Wolff Turn Fault In Our Stars A Little Bit Gay

May 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s a lot of buzz for next month’s The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green’s incredibly popular novel. However it seems that some people have been wondering what would happen if it was based around a romance between two guys – and that includes the film’s stars, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff.

The two actors recreated the pose from the movie’s poster, but replacing Shailene Woodley with Wolff. The pic was posted on Elgort’s and Green’s Instagram accounts. Elgort then managed to post a doctored version of the movies poster with the two guys getting up close and personal.

Click on the pics below to see larger versions of both the original and the rather more gay version.

The movie is about Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a teenager who joins a support group after being diagnosed with cancer. Hazel begins to fall for another cancer-stricken teenager, Augustus (Ansel Elgort), from her group. Sam Trammell and Laura Dern play Hazel’s father and mother, with Nat Wolff as Isaac, Augustus’ best friend.

Fault In Our Stars Director Josh Boone In Talks For The Stand

February 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Ben Affleck and Scott Cooper (both of whom have since dropped out), Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is close to singing a deal to write and direct Warner Bros. and CBS Films’ upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, The Stand, according to TheWrap.

Cooper was the last helmer attached, but he left last November over creative differences.

Although impossible to boil down to a simple plot, The Stand’s over-arcing premise sees a plague known as Captain Trips wiping out pretty much everyone in the world. The survivors then begin sharing a dream of a strange, evil figure, and slowly come together to try and defeat the anti-Christ like Randall Flaggs. It’s basically good vs. evil told on a massive, apocalyptic scale. It was turned into a miniseries in 1994, but despite being much loved by many, the huge plot and ensemble narrative have defeated numerous attempts to take it to the big screen.

It isn’t known when they hope to shoot this long-gestating project.

January 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

At a first glance it looks like Shailene Woodley is going a little bit tomboy for The Fault In Our Stars – but the short hair in the first image from the movie above is actually more to do with the fact that she’s playing a cancer patient. The guy she’s holding is. Ansel Elgort.

The movie follows Hazel Grace Lancaster (Woodley), a teenager who joins a support group after being diagnosed with cancer. Hazel begins to fall for another cancer-stricken teenager Augustus (Elgort) from her group.
