We've heard all about how Kick-Ass 2 will move into production this summer, but details on the story have been scarce. The folks at Moviehole, however, have come across some juicy plot points that fans of the 2010 adaptation of the Mark Millar comic will want to pay attention to.
It seems that some people really just can't believe it's the end of the Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale Batman films. If you didn't believe it when the director himself said it the first time, then maybe you'll believe it now as The Dark Knight Rises producer Emma Thomas told SFX Magazine in an interview that she believes Nolan will never be persuaded to make another Batman film.
20th Century Fox has purchased the movie rights to the long-running PBS children's TV show Sesame Street, and The Hollywood Reporter has learned that longtime series writer Joey Mazzarino has been asked to write a script. Shawn Levy, director of Night at the Museum and Real Steel will produce under his 21 Laps banner.
After Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland became a global box-office smash, Disney's whole catalog opened up in terms of bringing new takes on its classic properties to the big screen. The studio settled on Maleficent as its next project, a spin-off of Sleeping Beauty told from the villain's perspective (think along the lines of The Wizard of Oz and Wicked), and they were even able to lock up their dream casting: Angelina Jolie.
Beasts of the Southern Wild captures an impressively wider scope than most independent films by balancing fierce realism with folk tale magic. The story is just as engaging, moving and poignant.
While most folks are simply excited for The Dark Knight Rises (not exactly an earth-shattering statement, I realize), what about the fact that the film completes a trilogy for Christopher Nolan? With word that this will be Nolan's last Batman film, there's definitely a sense of a journey that began with Batman Begins in 2005, continued with The Dark Knight in 2008 and now concludes on July 20.
Wherever he goes, Robert Pattinson carries "that Twilight movie" with him, so it's safe to say that his reputation with fanboys and regular dudes needs some shining up. His newest film, David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, could help change opinion among guys when it comes out in August, but in an interview on CBC Television (via ComicBookMovie), Pattinson has some pretty geek-friendly comments about The Dark Knight, namely Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker.
Universal Pictures is sitting on one of the hottest properties in the country right now with the E.L. James erotic fiction novel Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels. Of course, the studio paid seven figures to sit on it, but don't expect things to move slowly for much longer. In fact, the rumor mill is swirling already as Deadline has word that the studio wants Angelina Jolie to direct the adaptation.
A licensing expo is set to get underway in Las Vegas next week, and Collider has some new promo images from various upcoming Sony Pictures projects, including a synopsis and release date for Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers.
Though trailers for The Great Gatsby, Les Miserables and Django Unchained have taken the Internet by storm over the last few weeks, some of award season's lesser-known films still show promise to be as good as those bigger films, if not better.
