News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi


Wow. I read this book for school over a decade ago.

They're really making a series/tv movie about book burning (censorship, freedom of speech, and extremism) look like an action joint :lol:

MBJ and Shannon so I'm automatically in.
 
‘Men In Black’ Spinoff Gets Summer 2019 Release Date Change

Sony has moved its summer 2019 tentpole Men In Black Untitled from May 17 to June 14, taking it off the date currently occupied by John Wick: Chapter Three and moving it to the date where Warner Bros has its Shaft remake. This kind of date jockeying is not unusual a year in advance.

Men In Black Untitled was initially fast-tracked by Columbia this year from a script by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum (Iron Man and Transformers: The Last Knight). The film is being produced by Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald and will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg. All were involved in the original franchise launched in 1997 with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. The film became an instant box office hit and spawned not one, but two other films.


The first two films together — the second launched in 2002 — made more than $1.03 billion at the worldwide box office. It’s no wonder that executives are going back to the well in hopes of hitting gold again.
 
I kind of dig the concept of Rocks Hercules, played off from the myths that people believed, it was just too predictable and was't executed well.

I'm all up for Peter Jackson to direct any greek mythology films though. And this Titans films with Worthington wasn't mind-blowing story-wise but I wish they could have finished that trilogy.










Sony's JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Officially Out-Grosses THOR: RAGNAROK Stateside

Who would have thought this would happen? Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, a sequel nobody really wanted with a relatively small budget of $90 million, has outgrossed a film that starred The Mighty Thor.

On its fifth weekend of release, Jumanji held on to the number one spot on the box office chart. The Dwayne Johnson-led motion picture has grossed close to $317 million in the US; which almost $4 million more than Thor: Ragnarok's $313 million.

By the end of its theaterical run, analysts predict that the film will have grossed $375 million stateside and $820 million worldwide.

this caught my eye, interesting take on genre
opens in cinemas and hits VOD simultaneously on February 23rd.
The film is set in a post-zombie apocalypse world where the infected have found a cure. Page plays a young woman who takes in her previously zombied brother-in-law, but ends up getting far more than she bargained for.
 
so its like The Last of Us with Ellen Page that we all wanted based on similarity but not like The Last of Us with Ellen Page that we all wanted?:lol:
