Texas Chainsaw Massacre Reboot in the works with the 'Dig' Directors

Legendary has closed a deal for Ryan and Andy Tohill to direct a reboot of the 1974 horror film ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', sources tell Variety.

The pic will be written by Chris Thomas Devlin with Bad Hombres Fede Alvarez and Rodolfo Sayagues producing through their overall deal with Legendary.


''The Tohill's vision is exacly what the fans want '', Alvarez said in a statement, ''It's violent, exciting and so depraved that it will stay with you forever''.

The original 1974 Tobe Hooper movie followed tow siblings and three of their friends en route to visit their grandfather's grave in Texas, who end up falling victim to a family of cannibalistic psychopaths and must survive the terrors of Leatherface and his family.

What was at first considered a cult classic has grown into one of the horror's most iconic properties, spawning three sequels, including one that starred Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger.

I see The Hunt is finally being releasd in March. Not wanting to get political, all I'll say is that it being pullled from release had something to do with someone who looks like a Cheeto speaking out about it's premise. It's been given a new poster and trailer, and it looks like those who complained about it were jumping the gun a little.

James Bobin talks to direct Clue reboot

The Muppets director James Bobin is in early talks to direct Ryan Reynolds in the movie reboot based on the board game "Cluedo" an individual knowledge of the project told TheWarp,

Back in September, TheWarp reported that Jason Bateman was in talks to direct and potentially co-star in the film, but his deal never closed, as the actor had a conflict with his obligations to the Netflix series "Ozark".

"Clue" is set up at 20th Centuary Studios and has Reynolds attached to star and produce via his Maximum Effort banner.

Arnold Schwarzenegger And Jackie Chan Co-Star In A Fantasy Epic Whose Trailer Has To Be Seen To Be Believed | Gizmodo

"Here’s the best sentence you’re likely to read today: A movie exists that has dragons and magic and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan fighting each other. How we’re just realising that we’ll never know. But we do realise it, there’s a trailer, and holy crap you have to see it.

The film is called The Iron Mask, but it was previously titled Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask. (Other previous titles include Viy-2 and Viy 2: Journey to China.) It’s a sequel to the 2014 film Viy (aka Forbidden Empire) and was released in several international markets last year. The UK gets a theatrical and digital release in April but it’s unclear if The Iron Mask will be available digitally in the United States or other parts of the world too.

Nevertheless, this trailer is a bonkers collection of action legends, high fantasy, questionable history, CGI sets, bad quips, and just...*chef’s kiss*...we love it."

Too little to rush to judgement, but from what you can see of the chest and shoulders, it looks like he's wearing heavy duty battle armour and would be 'suited and booted' for violent combat.

"I feel obliged to make sure our ambitions are as ambitious as they were when we started," the actor said in a separate interview about the upcoming installment in the action-adventure franchise.

Another installment to the Indiana Jones franchise is on its way, with Harrison Ford revealing that production will commence within months.

Ford dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show for an interview that will air Friday to promote his new film, Call of the Wild, and while there, he gave a few hints about the upcoming Indiana Jones film.

By the time filming begins, Ford will be 78, a decade older than Sean Connery was when he played Henry Jones, Sr in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

It would probably be for the best if there is a father-son or mentor-student relationship between the older Indiana Jones, who is aware of his age, and another, more active and physical adventurer, in the same way as Indy and his father bounced off each other in The Last Crusade.

I don't want him doing every step physical feats which rely entirely on CGI and stuntmen, stretching the 'willing suspension of disbelief' to breaking point.

As long as the story and film is entertaining and well made with a believable Indiana Jones character, I don't really mind who is in it or what it's about.

The bad guys appear, and do a sweep with their guns, peppering everything in sight (including the fridge and cardboard box) with bullets. They then move off

The metal fridge collapses, due to the damage inflicted upon it

Indy climbs out of the shredded cardboard box unscathed. He looks at the fridge, now reduced to a twisted pile of steel, turns to the camera and gives the audience a knowing look!

Classic scene. The audience would be rolling in the aisles with laughter, and another timeless moment, similar to the 'swordsman/gun' scene in the original 'Raiders' would have been created

‘Jumanji’ Producer To Develop Emerson, Lake & Palmer Song ‘Karn Evil 9’ As A Sci-Fi Movie | Deadline

"Emerson, Lake & Palmer's sprawling progressive rock opus 'Karn Evil 9' is being turned into a science fiction movie.

The 1973 piece of music, which forms the majority of ELP’s 1973 masterpiece ‘Brain Salad Surgery’, clocks in at almost 30 minutes and is divided into three “Impressions” that tell the futuristic dystopian story of humankind’s war with computers.

The CEO of Radar Pictures, American media mogul Ted Field, will executive produce. He has worked on dozens of movies over the decades including Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Arachnophobia, and the recently revived Jumanji series."

A new exorcist film

https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/...ortedly-works/


New Sequel To The Exorcist Reportedly In The Works

Since The Exorcist spider-walked into cinemas in 1973, the franchise has been a byword for sheer terror. Over the following decades, it’s spawned three sequels of varying quality, two TV shows, a stage show and a pretty scary VR game. Now, we’re hearing that the producers behind the franchise are eager to bring The Exorcist back to the big screen once more.

According to sources close to WGTC – the same ones who told us a new Scream movie is in the works, Bill Murray is returning for Ghostbusters: Afterlife and that Lethal Weapon 5 is moving forward with Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, all of which have been confirmed now – the current plan is a story focusing on the granddaughter of Linda Blair’s Regan. Plot details are still scarce, but as you’d expect from an Exorcist movie, we’ll see the girl being possessed by a demon (possibly the original Pazuzu out for revenge) and the efforts to get rid of it.

As Regan is one of the most iconic characters in horror cinema, it makes sense to include her in some capacity. She’s appeared throughout the franchise, too, with Exorcist II: The Heretic showing us her teenage years and The Exorcist TV show showing her as a mother trying to protect her daughter from demons.

My bet is that, in keeping with the current fashion for soft reboots, the new film will follow the template laid down by 2018’s Halloween. That movie successfully positioned itself as a sequel to the original 1978 pic, disregarding the tangled continuity that followed. Going down this route would make sense for The Exorcist, as the franchise is now a rat’s nest of contradictory prequels, sequels and reboots. As such, taking things back to basics and being a loose sequel to the original is probably the best way to go.

In any case, the franchise has acquired a reputation for production woes over the years.
The original movie saw multiple injuries on set, The Exorcist III saw an acrimonious stand-off between studio and director William Peter Blatty and the fourth film in the series was released in two versions (Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist) after the studio-mandated cut received overwhelmingly terrible reviews. Here’s hoping things go a bit smoother with this next Exorcist movie.

The only names connected to the project at the moment are Marc Platt (producer), Greg Berlanti (director), Matthew Robinson (script) and Alan Menken & Howard Ashman (music and lyrics)

Chris Evans in Talks to Star in Greg Berlanti's 'Little Shop of Horrors' (Exclusive) | The Hollywood Reporter

"Chris Evans is in negotiations to play a key character in Little Shop of Horrors, a new big-screen take of the cult movie turned Broadway musical being directed by Greg Berlanti.

Warner Bros. is behind the project that has been flirting and courting actors since last fall. Scarlett Johansson and Taron Egerton are circling leading roles in the horror comedy, with Billy Porter already signed up.

Egerton and Johansson are in various stages of talks for the respective roles of Seymour and Audrey, although discussions are ongoing and it is unclear if deals will be made. Porter, whose deal is signed, will give voice to the carnivorous plant.

Evans will play the role of dentist Orin Scrivello, Audrey’s abusive and sadistic boyfriend, who finds great pleasure in his chosen profession. The role is flashy (the character loves to use laughing gas) and comes with the scene-stealing signature song, “Dentist!”

The project is based on the 1960 Roger Corman movie that was adapted into a popular musical in the early 1980s, which itself was adapted as a 1986 movie starring Rick Moranis. Steve Martin played the dentist in that version.

Marc Platt, Sarah Schechter and Berlanti are producing the new adaptation, which is set to shoot this summer"

Is this the follow up to Quadrophenia ?

gag 26th February 2020 01:37 PM

It's ok I found this online

To Be Someone is an English film scheduled for release in 2020, loosely related to the 1979 movie, Quadrophenia. The film is in fact a sequel to the book, Quadrophenia, rather than the movie specifically. The film is directed by Ray Burdis and written by Pete Meadows.

The film is directed by Ray Burdis. The film stars some of the original Quadrophenia cast, including Gary Shail, Toyah Wilcox, and Phil Daniels. This film was however based on the book sequel, which itself was based on the rock opera. Ray Burdis has specifically said that the movie is not a sequel to the original Quadrophenia movie, though it does feature some of the characters, and is set in the mod subculture.
