Bradley Cooper Starring In & May Direct Kokowaah Remake

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bradley-cooper
Bradley Cooper is a busy man, who always seems to have about a hundred projects on his development slate (and unlike many actors, he actually makes the majority of moves he signs up for). Now he’s added a new one, as Deadline reports he’s developing an English-language remake of the German comedy Kokowaah, which could become his directorial debut is everything works out.

Inglorious Basterds star Til Schweiger co-wrote, directed and starred in the original, with a sequel released a few weeks ago in Germany. The first film was Germany’s highest-grossing film of 2011. Kokwaah, ‘explores the relationship between two men – carefree bachelor Henry and devoted husband and father Trevor – when they are forced to re-evaluate their lives after discovering the reality behind the paternity of Trevor’s 8-year-old daughter Maddy.’

Black List writers Scott Rothman & Rajiv Joseph are re-writing the screenplay, working from an earlier draft by Chris Shafer & Paul Vicknair.

Two New Oblivion Posters Show Off Tom Cruise & Morgan Freeman

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Oblivion is definitely one of the more intriguing sci-fi projects of the year. It’s not too long now until we get to see whether it’s any good or not, as the April 12th UK and April 19th US release is fast approaching.

To up the anticipation level EW has debuted two new posters for the film, showing Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

In a future where the surface of the Earth is ruined, Cruise plays a man who services the drones that ensure humanity can still get the natural resources it craves, even though it has had to abandon the surface and live in the sky. However he discovers that perhaps the way he believes this new world works is a lie, and as he investigates, he becomes a target himself.

Tom Hardy Is Going To Samarkand In A New Indie Drama

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom Hardy in WarriorTom Hardy has been busy filling his development roster in the last few months, and now he’s got another one, as Variety reports that he’s signed up to star in the new indie drama Samarkand.

The movie is about a British SAS soldier (Tom Hardy) who returns home from a Middle East conflict. He struggles to re-acclimatise himself to civilian life, while suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. It certainly sounds like a difficult role, showing off Hardy’s acting skills.

Greg Williams and Olly Williams wrote the screenplay, which marks their first feature project. Tom Hardy also starred in Greg Williams’ short film, Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother, which won multiple awards for Best Director. It’s Greg who will be directing this movie, too.

The title Samarkand refers to the Uzbekistan city that is considered one of the oldest in the world.

Chris Cooper Is The New Green Goblin In The Amazing Spider-man 2

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-CooperThe Amazing Spider-man 2 may have already started shooting, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped hearing about new additions to the cast, as THR reports that Chris Cooper has signed on to portray Norman Osborn in the movie.

While we knew that Oscorp would feature in director Marc Webb’s sequel, Norman Osborn’s casting hasn’t been confirmed until now. Dane DeHaan is playing Norman’s son Harry Osborn.

It isn’t known at this time if Norman will transform into The Green Goblin in this sequel, or if they are holding off on using that villain for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 – the THR report does specifically mention Green Goblin, but it’s unlikely he’s a main bad bad guy in this film, although it’s possible his transformation will be in the film.

Marc Webb is directing from a screenplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Jeff Pinkner. Production is currently under way in New York City.

Niels Arden Oplev Takes On Flatliners Remake

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Niels-Arden-OplevEver since his success with the original Scandinavian version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we’ve been waiting for Niels Arden Oplev’s next movie. He’s got Dead Man Down coming next month (in the US at least) and he’s shooting the mini-series Under The Dome, but nothing we’ve seen yet. Now he’s lining up another, as Bloody Disgusting reports he’s attached to a remake of the 1990 movie Flatliners.

A couple of years ago Sony was keen to get a new version of the Joel Schumacher movie up and running, but by mid-2011 it seemed like the idea had died. Now it’s been revived, with the Danish director attached.

The 90s version starred Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt as a group of medical students who get involved in a dangerous game of one-upmanship involving stopping their heart and then waiting longer and longer to get revived. Initially they just want to see what’s on the other side, but things start getting increasingly nightmarish as visions they had when they flatlined return with them to the real world.

There’s no news on when the new version might shoot.

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Monsters-University-Poster3Disney-Pixar has released the latest poster for Monsters University, which shows off the class of scare students that Mike and Sulley become part of in this prequel to Monsters Inc.

But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer.The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

‘Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from future Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame–inductee and award winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”).

Emily Browning Going To Pompeii With Director Paul WS Anderson

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emily-browningThe destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is an event that’s lived long in the public consciousness, largely due to the ruins left behind and the casts of those caught in the devastation. However while most know there was a Volcano, not that many know more than that.

Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil, The Three Musketeers) is planning to change that, as he’s putting together Pompeii, all about the disaster. Kit Harington (Game Of Thrones) is already set to star, and now Dark Horizons reports he’ll be joined by Sucker Punch actress Emily Browning.

Pompeii revolves around the slave of a shipping tycoon (Harington) who dreams of the day he can buy his freedom and marry his master’s daughter (Browning). What the slave doesn’t know is that she’s already been promised to a corrupt Roman senator, while he’s been sold to another owner. Just when things can’t get any worse, Mt. Vesuvius erupts with the power of 40 nuclear bombs. But the slave is trapped on a ship headed for Naples, separated from his love and best friend, a gladiator who is trapped in the city’s coliseum. As fire and ash destroy the only world he’s ever known, the slave is determined to get back and rescue them.

Lee Batchler, Janet Scott Batchler and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes penned the script. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cloudy-2-preview-poster1
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs saw a small town essentially turned to food, but things are evolving for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (formerly titled Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers). As the new poster shows, this time they’re dealing with food that’s come to life.

The story follows Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) as he joins his idol Chester V (Will Forte) at The Live Corp Company, home to some of the greatest minds in the world. However, when Flint learns that his invention that turns water to food is also creating food beasts, he must gather his old friends to put a stop to this madness.

The poster is an appetiser for the first trailer, which is due to debut later today.

Mama Director Andres Muschietti Staying Creepy With Bird Box

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Andres-MuschiettiAndres Muschietti recently made his feature directorial debut with Mama, adapted from his own short. The film only cost $15 million to make but has already grossed $100 million and counting. Hollywood loves a filmmaker who can keep things cheap and yet still make money, so it’s little surprise Muschietti has lined up a new gig.

THR reports the director is staying creepy with Bird Box, adaptated from a novel written by Josh Malerman (who also happens to be the frontman of the band The High Strung). The movie is described as a mix of Children of Men and The Others, following a woman and two children as they travel down a river “in a seemingly post-apocalyptic setting”.

Universal is backing the movie, and is apparently looking for writers to adapt Malerman’s manuscript.

Seth Grahame-Smith Rewriting Fantastic Four Reboot

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

seth-grahame-smithWhile neither Dark Shadows nor Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter performed to expectations last year, Hollywood still loves writer Seth Grahame-Smith, and so Fox has asked him to come on-board their Fantastic Four reboot in order to polish the most recent script, written by Jeremy Slater, according to THR.

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four comic books debuted in 1961, featuring Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (The Invisible Girl), her brother Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing), all of whom gain superpowers after being exposed to radiation during a space mission.

While the recent movies took a very popcorn, silly approach (which some liked but many didn’t), the new rendition, to be directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), is said to have a more grounded, sci-fi approach that taps deeper into the comic book’s well of villains.

It isn’t known when it might shoot, with rumours suggesting it may be a while yet, with Fox wanting to make sure all the pieces are perfect before they go into production (not to mention they already have two X-Men movies lined up for release in the next 18 months).
