Since Ridley Scott started on the publicity tour for The Martian, we've learned a wealth of new information on the upcoming Prometheus sequel. Now brandishing the official title of Alien: Paradise Lost, the film is now closely connected to Scott's original Alien series, and is expected to investigate the origins of those pesky xenomorphs before a further sequel will sync up to Alien with a bonus Ripley connection.
In the shadow of Hannibal's demise, the future for Mads Mikkelsen looks fruitful, with choice roles in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and a rumored part in Marvel's Doctor Strange. With the former seemingly confirmed by the studio, we've been on tenterhooks waiting to hear on whether or not he's officially on board and who he's destined to play in the latter. And it looks as though we're not the only ones, as Mikkelsen confirmed during an interview MTime (via ComicBook) that he too is completely in the dark.
Nat Wolff is staying one step ahead of the typecasting game. After striking it big in the last two John Green adaptations, The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns, the young actor is venturing into potentially R-rated terrain with Death Note.
Many are hoping that Crimson Peak will be a return to genre form for Guillermo del Toro. Dubbed a "gothic romance" - with a generous splash of chilling horror - it's a far cry from the blockbusterism of Pacific Rim, which divided critics and caused people to doubt the director's previously-lauded abilities. Fans of the horrormeister need not despair, though, as del Toro is amping up the scares a la Devil's Backbone moreso than ever before.
From the very first images to the debut teaser Jon Favreau's live-action update of The Jungle Book looked destined to blow audiences away. Stunning CGI components blended together seamlessly with the mo-capped shenanigans of young actor Neel Sethi, and that's before any of the film's starry vocal cast entered the picture. So if that first preview left you gasping for more, fear not, as this new international trailer offers plenty of fresh footage.
October 21, 2015 flashed on the DeLorean's time circuits, blasting Marty and Doc into the future to dally with the space-time continuum. That classic scene from the Back To The Future sequel becomes a reality in less than a month, and to coincide with that specific date, a dazzling 30th anniversary Blu-ray box set is due to arrive. An extensive package that includes all three feature movies and a slew of extras, it's an unseen piece of content, however, that's lighting up the web.
Enchanted was a big win for Disney back in 2007. On a conservative - well, for House of Mouse - budget of $85 million, the fairytale caper went on to haul in $340 million worldwide. Naturally, a sequel entered development shortly afterwards as the studio had outlines for an entire franchise already in place. As is often the case with follow-ups though, the trickiness of nailing down the right story has seen the project languish in development hell since 2010.
Even though he's busy developing a sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service that's not preventing Matthew Vaughn from delving into other spy-related affairs, as MGM announced this morning that Vaughn will produce and direct the espionage thriller I Am Pilgrim.
Three years ago Nicolas Winding Refn announced his plans to produce a remake of the cult classic Maniac Cop. Since 2012 the scrappy updates on the project haven't instilled much confidence in the film's eventual production, but it finally looks as if efforts are aligning to get this remake off the ground as John Hyams is now attached to direct. Twitch scored the update from Refn himself at Fantastic Fest with Hyams confirming the news on Twitter.
Prior to the release of his latest movie, Denis Villeneuve had a reputation for carving unique thrillers. His stylistic approach proven effective in the likes of Enemy and Prisoners seemingly confirmed that his future slate would be populated by similar fare. Then Sicario came along and shattered that idea. The action-packed drug cartel drama signified his strengths in other areas -- a topic which Coming Soon asked the director to discuss during a recent interview.
