Mel Gibson to write and direct wild bunch remake

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/m...os-1202955010/


Mel Gibson is coming on to write and direct a remake of the classic Sam Peckinpah western “The Wild Bunch” at Warner Bros.

Gibson will co-write with Bryan Bagby and also exec produce the pic.

The project is based on the classic Peckinpah film that follows an aging group of outlaws look for one last big score even as what they viewed as the wild west is slowly passing them by. The pic had an all-star cast that included William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sanchez and Ben Johnson.

Project marks the first directing gig for Gibson since 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” which earned him an Oscar nomination as director.

It’s unknown if Gibson’s “Wild Bunch” will be a straight remake or a different story.

WB has been trying to get the reboot off the ground for years and at one point had Will Smith interested in starring. As for when Gibson will shoot “The Wild Bunch” remains a mystery. He’s also trying to get his World War II film “Destroyer” into production. That film, with Mark Wahlberg attached to star, is currently looking for financing

Train to Busan Remake Is Happening with Producer James Wan


A Train to Busan Remake is officially in the works and it has become subject to a bidding war between several major studios. Not only was the South Korean zombie flick a huge hit, positioning it as something Hollywood was destined to do an English language remake of at some point, but James Wan, the man behind The Conjuring universe, and IT writer Gary Dauberman are now attached to the remake. As such, this is a project that has money written all over it.

According to a new report, New Line, Universal, Paramount, Lionsgate and Screen Gems are all in the mix for the Train to Busan remake. The package is expected to sell this week for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. There is no word on who may wind up in the director's chair or how soon production could get off the ground, but it doesn't sound like this is the kind of thing that will just sit on a shelf collecting dust. Whoever wins this bidding war is going to want to get this project moving in the right direction.

Director San-ho Yeon, who is currently working on Train to Busan 2, helmed the original to great success, with the movie earning $85 million worldwide. Only $2 million of that came from the U.S., which is typically where the lion's share of a movie's box office will come from. Not to mention that Train to Busan, which centers on a group of passengers who try to survive a deadly train ride from Seoul to Busan during a zombie outbreak, currently sits at a 96 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got critical acclaim, an interesting premise and proven box office potential to go along with an already promising creative team.

James Wan, as a director, helmed the two main chapters in The Conjuring series, as well as Furious 7 and the upcoming Aquaman for Warner Bros. He's also produced a ton of horror movies and has become a name closely associated with success. The same can be said of screenwriter Gary Dauberman who, despite not always hitting it out of the park with critics, writes movies that make money. IT was a ridiculous hit for Warner Bros. and New Line last year and, despite critical disapproval, The Nun has done big business so far. Dauberman also penned the script for next year's IT: Chapter 2, Annabelle and the upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie adaptation.

They seem like the perfect pair for a Train to Busan remake. But can they get the right director to bring this story to American audiences while retaining what made the original so great? It's going to be a fine line to walk, but it's off to a promising start. We'll be sure to keep you posted as new details on the project are made available.

First paragraph

Plus there is a couple of pictures as well

Jen and Sylvia Soska, the “twisted twins” who gained a cult following after their debut back in 2012 with American Mary, are taking a stab at a sleeper classic: Rabid.

Originally imagined by David Cronenberg, the sisters promise to honor his work with a fresh, female, perspective with a side or two of blood of course.


Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl and Jigsaw) shared first-looks of her starring role in Rabid. Fans will remember adult film star Marilyn Chambers originally starred as the main protagonist (or I guess antagonist depending on how you look at it) Rose.

Slight tweaks will be made, the shared images certainly have a sleeker look, but the sisters want to keep true to the film’s humble beginnings

Not exactly a remake, but rebooting final destination film .

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/246...tting-a-reboot


The horror genre is on a roll right now and seemingly everyone is attempting to capitalize by rebooting long-dormant properties for another go around. While plenty of horror icons created decades ago are returning to the big screen in the near future, another series that began at the turn of the millennium is also getting a reboot. Final Destination is coming back to prove that clever and gory deaths never go out of style.

New Line Cinema has tapped two veterans of the Saw franchise to bring back its Final Destination franchise. Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, who previously scripted four Saw films together, have been brought aboard to write the screenplay for the Final Destination reboot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The reboot is being described as a re-imagining of the franchise, but no specific plot details or a target release date have been revealed as of yet.

The Final Destination franchise was good to New Line, with five films from the first in 2000 to the last, Final Destination 5, in 2011, grossing almost $700 million worldwide on small budgets. That low budget model is the bread and butter of the horror genre, and New Line has found recent success with it via its highly lucrative Conjuring Universe. So New Line knows how to make horror work and is looking to bring in more of that money with a reboot of Final Destination.


The Final Destination films also had a very simple and easily replicable premise wherein a character would have a premonition of a death via some sort of calamity. The character would then attempt to avert the disaster and save their own and other people's lives, thus cheating death. But when you say 'not today' to the god of death, he doesn't take too kindly to it.

So Death would then look to take what he is owed, coming after the survivors and claiming their lives through increasingly elaborate and clever means. The Final Destination franchise always had a tongue in cheek quality to it, especially as the franchise went on, becoming more ridiculous with the gore and the hilarious absurdity coming in equal measure.

Seeing a Final Destination movie was very much about seeing what clever ways each successive film found to kill people, and with the writers of four Saw films on board for the reboot, I expect there will be more of that to look forward to with this reboot. Although I'm not sure exactly what the 're-imagining' will be, so hopefully whatever it is makes this reboot feel fresh and not just like Final Destination

Just read that a little while ago.

No idea who will play the child home alone but you can bet it won't be about some wealthy white kid.


Disney don't have a shred of originality about them at all in the 21st century.

They are also remaking Night at the Museum plus one or two others.

Nosferatu@Cult Labs 7th August 2019 10:24 AM

Whatever they're doing, it doesn't seem it's working as well as they would like because their profits are down 15% on last year. That said, revenue was up, so the reduced profits could be because the films Disney have been making are incredibly expensive to produce and market; the likes of Avengers: Endgame will not be cheap.

This is an interesting read in the Wall Street Journal:

LOS ANGELES—A star-crossed “X-Men” movie and rained-out cricket matches contributed to growing pains at the newly integrated Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox Inc.

Despite the blockbuster success of Disney’s “Avengers: Endgame,” the three months ended June 29 were marred by the weak performance of Fox entertainment assets purchased in the $71.3 billion deal that closed in March.

Disney fell short of analysts’ expectations for the quarter, sending shares down more than 3% in after-hours trading Tuesday.

Behind the disappointment were some of the high-profile assets acquired in the Fox deal. Fox movies like “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” flopped, even as Disney’s own hits set records.

Fox’s Star India, a TV network considered a linchpin in Disney’s international expansion strategy, dragged down the company’s direct-to-consumer segment after several matches in a major cricket tournament were canceled.

Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger opened his earnings call with investors by declaring it among the most complicated in his 14-year tenure as CEO.

Disney’s purchase of Fox—a deal that turned the world’s largest entertainment company into an even more powerful colossus—has given Disney valuable franchises like “Avatar” and significant overseas expansion.

But it has also tied the industry leader to a smaller rival that has lagged behind so far this year.

The Fox deal was driven by a companywide pivot toward a streaming strategy that will begin piping Disney programming into homes when a Disney-branded service launches in November.

Disney said Tuesday that that forthcoming service, called Disney+, will be available as a bundle along with its ESPN+ and Hulu offerings for $12.99—the same price as Netflix Inc. ’s most popular subscription plan.

Disney+ on its own will cost $6.99 at launch, the company has said.

Marketing for that service should begin in earnest at the end of this month, Mr. Iger said, and be featured by nearly every division of the company, from hotels to branded credit cards.

“ ‘Comprehensive’ is probably an understatement” for the marketing strategy, Mr. Iger said, calling the service “the most important product that the company has launched during my tenure in the job.”

Continued expenses related to launching Disney+, which requires dozens of hours of newly produced programming, should lead the company’s direct-to-consumer division to lose about $900 million in the quarter that ends in September, said Disney finance chief Christine McCarthy.

The Fox deal is still on track to produce about $2 billion in cost synergies by fiscal 2021, she added.

Profit in the company’s fiscal third quarter declined 40% to $1.76 billion, or 97 cents a share. Excluding charges related to the integration of the Fox properties and other items, profit fell to $1.35 a share from $1.87 a share. Revenue was $20.25 billion.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet had projected $1.46 a share, or $1.72 a share as adjusted, on $21.45 billion in revenue.

In the first complete quarter since the deal’s closing, Disney booked an impairment charge on the Fox flop “Dark Phoenix,” leading Mr. Iger to tell investors that his better-performing Disney studio was taking charge of the Fox operation.

Fox’s studio performance was “well below where we hoped it would be when we made the acquisition,” he said.

The 14-month delay between when the deal was announced and when it was completed likely contributed to the poor performance of Fox’s slate, he added, saying that “decision-making can grind to a halt” at a company when an acquisition has been announced.

Many workers at Fox spent those months unsure of whether they would be moving to Disney when the deal closed, and it had been unclear how some of Fox’s edgier movies would move forward in Disney’s family-friendly slate.

Fox assets in the studio segment contributed a $170 million loss tied to “Dark Phoenix” and other expenses.

The Fox team has been brought under the Disney wing, Mr. Iger said, adding that the “X-Men” franchise is now controlled by the company’s Marvel Studios, which has a nearly flawless record at the box office.

Given how long it takes to develop and produce a movie, Mr. Iger cautioned investors not to expect Fox’s studio fortunes to improve overnight.

“You’ll see those results in a couple of years,” he said.

Disney’s own movies have taken in more than $8 billion at the world-wide box office so far this year, an industry record that will only grow with the release of “Frozen 2” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in the coming holiday season.

The opening of a Star Wars-themed area at Disneyland unexpectedly cut into attendance at domestic theme parks, the company said, as some potential guests stayed away, worried about possible overcrowding.

While trade tensions between the U.S. and China haven’t depressed attendance at Shanghai Disneyland, Mr. Iger said the civil unrest in Hong Kong has hit traffic at its theme park there—a drop that will be reflected in the current quarter’s results.

In May 2016, producer Jonathan Sothcott of Hereford Films announced plans for a new series of Carry On films, beginning with Carry On Doctors and Carry On Campus. As of early 2017, no news had surfaced on if the planned reboot is still going ahead. On 12 April 2017, Sothcott confirmed to thehollywoodnews that he is no longer involved with the film series. As of September 2019, three Carry On films are set to be filmed back-to-back, after Brian Baker won the rights to the movies following a legal battle with ITV earlier that year. Production on the new films is set for Spring, 2020.

Doubt it. In years to come, we'll find out all these "accusations" are just false, the fact that anyone believed them is the onlyjoke.

First new Carry On Film Title: Carry On Being A Snowflake.
The plot: Not allowed one, as you'd have to describe human beings by gender, sexual orientation, skin tone, country of origin, physical appearance, etc. The plot is basically a lot of people getting offended by nothing.

The follow-up is called Carry On Being Offended.

I'm not so sure this is actually a remake now. It seems like Tony Todd could be returning as Candyman and it's just another sequel set now. Todd has retweeted some people who have mentioned him returning, so let's hope it's true.

Would be amazing to see Todd back but I think they should have just left it at one film. Don't see what else they can do, Get Out and Us were very good ideas, but will they leave a mark like Texas Chainsaw or Dawn of the Dead? I've not felt the urge to rewatch either, think Candyman remake will be a curio, like seeing an Elvis impersonater, you're not really going to care but it's cool that he can sing just like him.
