    Post Movie News: Remakes and Sequels

    Independence Day 2:

    The Aliens are back and so is Jeff Goldblum and the lead role to Liam Hemsworth. Charlotte Gainsbourg was in talks to join the film's cast. Newcomer Travis Tope was set on March 25, 2015 to reprise the role of Charlie. On March 3, 2015, director Emmerich confirmed via Twitter about the returning of Vivica A. Fox to play her previous film's role, Jasmine Dubrow. Same day, Jessie Usher was added to the cast to portray the role of the son of Smith's character. Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman were also set to reprise their original roles from the previous film. Maika Monroe signed on to star in the film on April 27, 2015. Sela Ward's casting as the new President of the United States (successor to Bill Pullman's character in the original film) was confirmed on May 4, 2015. On May 19, 2015, Patrick St. Esprit was cast as Secretary of Defense Tanner..

    Expected release : June 2016

    Conan The Legend:

    Chris Morgan, the co-writer and producer of the new flick, says The Legend of Conan will be a direct sequel to the original Conan the Barbarian movie from 1982. This means it will bypass the 1984 sequel Conan The Destroyer, as well as completely ignoring the 2011 remake starring Jason Momoa. Arnold Schwarzenegger will reprise the roll of Conan 20 years after the initial movie.

    Expected release date: not set yet

    Beetlejuice 2:

    Yes one of my favorite movies of all time is coming back, with Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton and Director Tim Burton. However, although Winona Ryder is lined up to return as the grown-up Lydia Deetz, after so many years, it goes without saying that Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis won’t be reprising their roles as the Maitlands from the original Beetlejuice (since, as Davis once pointed out, ghosts don’t age).

    Expected release date: Not set yet

    Point Break
    :

    Luke Bracey is set to portray the role previously played by Keanu Reeves. Ray Winstone is set to take on the role played by Gary Busey in the original. Gerard Butler was initially in negotiations to play Bodhi, the role Patrick Swayze played, but later, negotiations with Butler fell through. Edgar Ramirez will play the lead as Bodhi.

    Release date : December 2015

    Scarface:

    Director Pablo Larraín, fresh off winning the Berlin International Film Festival's Jury Grand Prix for his film The Club, will helm the remake, which will transplant the story to the present-day criminal underworld of Los Angeles (the 1932 and 1983 versions took place in Chicago and Miami, respectively).

    No Release date set

    Escape from New York:

    A lot of people's favorite movie of all time is coming back, The original John Carpenter-directed film depicts a bleak futuristic world in which Manhattan has been converted into a maximum-security prison. Kurt Russell starred as Snake Plissken, a former soldier who was assigned to rescue the president after Air Force One crashes in New York. If he rescues the president, he saves the world. If he fails, he will explode. In the 34 years since the film was released, it has become a cult classic. The one problem with the original: It was set in 1997 – futuristic for 1981, but now outdated for modern audiences.

    No release date set

    Gambit:

    The character of Gambit (real name: Remy LeBeau) was introduced in Fox’s first attempt at an X-Men solo character spinoff, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but the creative team let fans down by ignoring some of the most iconic and interesting traits of the character – most notably, his unique Cajun accent. That version of Gambit was played by Taylor Kitsch but it’s clear that going forward, the studio is pretending that movie didn’t happen. Starring Channing Tatum which in my personal opinion sucks because Tayler played Gambit better. Best Xmen super hero!!!

    Expected release date: October 2016

    X-Men Apocalypse:

    It is the sequel to 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past and the ninth installment in the X-Men film series. Directed by Bryan Singer, with a screenplay by Simon Kinberg from a story conceived by Dan Harris, Michael Dougherty, Kinberg and Singer, the film will star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, Lucas Till, Ben Hardy, Lana Condor and Olivia Munn.

    Expected release date: May 2016




    Other remakes not confirmed: Death Wish, American Wereworlf in London, The Crow, War Games.

    ‘Halloween’ Franchise Getting a Reboot

    Fans of Michael Myers and the "Halloween" movie franchise originally created by John Carpenter in 1978 will get a new take on the series with a reboot officially in the works, according to MovieHole.

    News of this new venture in the franchise follows a successful reboot run by legendary shock-rocker Rob Zombie ("House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devils Rejects") who remade the franchise's first and subsequent sequel.

    The article refers to this reboot as a continuation of the original carnage created by the sociopathic killer known as Michael Myers, who returns to Haddonfield to terrorize a new generation of kids and teenagers. This project is classified as a standalone return to the franchise and is meant to be a reintroduction to the franchise's flagship terror.
    The film will be titled "Halloween Returns" and will feature characters that are in some way related to the original victims of Myers, supposedly in previous films. The explanation given on the website tells of a child, who is now 18-years-old, whose parent(s) were victims of Myers at some point. This teen will play a central role in the plot of the film and may in some way be seeking out vengeance.

    The teen will partner with another teen, but this one the offspring of a cop who had at one time was heavily obsessed with the Myers case. This child was neglected by her father due to this case, so there may be vengeance on both of their minds that could eventually fill out the plot of this upcoming film.

    There is also a plot in the story that has never been done on a "Halloween" franchise film. In this particular situation, Myers is now in captivity and sits on death row. But, when it comes time to end his life, things go wrong. This eventually leads to Myers escape and the pursuit begins there by the two teens who had snuck in to view Myers execution.

    The article also states that casting is currently underway for the project.

    Ridley Scott details opening scene of Blade Runner sequel

    In between promoting The Martian and hedging questions about Alien: Covenant, director Ridley Scott took a moment to outline how his sequel to Blade Runner would begin.

    Talking to a group of people at AFI Film Fest, and transcribed by JoBlo, Scott went into quite a bit of detail about the upcoming sequel, painting the picture of the film's first five minutes or so.

    If you're in the business of avoiding spoilers, consider this your official warning.

    According to Scott, the film will begin with establishing shots of a flat, picturesque farm space, akin to the rural lands of Wyoming. In the distance lies a large, dead tree being held up by a system of intricate wires, which Scott said won't be unlike imagery found within John Steinbeck's classic novel, Grapes of Wrath.

    In the midst of the almost artificial quiet, Scott explained that the first bit of movement will focus on a spinner (a flying car) landing on the base of the property.

    "Of course, traditionally chased by a dog that barks, the doors open, a guy gets out and there you've got Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford)," Scott said. "He walks in the cottage, opens the door, sits down, smells stew, sits down and waits for the guy to pull up to the house to arrive."

    Scott ended the segment of the talk by acknowledging the unknown man, who's quite large, definitely approaches Deckard, but wouldn't reveal anything else about the scene. Whether or not he's a friend or foe will remain a secret until the movie is released.

    Harrison Ford is back for the sequel, reprising his role from more than 30 years ago, with Ryan Gosling officially on-board to co-star.

    There's currently no word on when the film will be released.

    Prometheus 2 is Officially Alien: Covenant; Gets Release Date & Synopsis

    Director Ridley Scott surprised many recently when he referred to his next project – the sequel to his Alien quasi-prequel/spinoff, Prometheus – as being titled Alien: Covenant, after having referred to the film as Alien: Paradise Lost on multiple previous occasions. Fortunately, we need not speculate any further, as it’s now official: the next chapter in a planned Prometheus film trilogy shall indeed be called Alien: Covenant, with principal photography slated to get underway around the first quarter of 2016 for a 2017 release date.

    So far, the only confirmed cast member for Alien: Covenant is Michael Fassbender, who will reprise as the android David – one of only two survivors from the original Prometheus expedition, along with the human scientist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace). However, judging by the newly-released synopsis for the film, it would appear that Covenant doesn’t immediately pick back up with Shaw, at the beginning of its story.

    Here is 20th Century Fox’s official synopsis for Alien: Covenant:

    Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

    Rapace had indicated in the past that she would return for the Prometheus sequel, but the project has evolved a fair amount over the course of the past year – having most recently undergone a rewrite by Oscar-nominee John Logan (Gladiator, Spectre) – and Shaw’s role has no doubt changed with it.

    Nevertheless, Scott has recently indicated that Covenant will bring both David and Elizabeth back into the equation – seeing as the pair were essentially stuck with one another at the end of Prometheus – but only after the movie’s initial act introduces the crew of the ship Covenant. This also explains recent reports that Covenant will feature a brand-new female lead (maybe the Covenant’s captain?), with such rising stars as Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) having been considered at one point or another, to play the role.

    Scott has already confirmed that Alien: Covenant will both reveal the home-world of the Engineers – those mysterious extraterrestrials from Prometheus who helped to create humankind – and shed more light on, exactly, how the terrible Alien Xenomorph came to be. The film should also continue with the creator/creation thematic motif of Prometheus, while at the same time telling a sci-fi movie narrative featuring overt religious subtext and/or overtones (as subtitles like Paradise Lost and Covenant suggest it will), like its predecessor.

    The confusing connections between Prometheus and Alien were among the former’s most controversial elements, though many were also critical of how Scott’s Alien prequel/spinoff relies on formulaic horror movie tropes and character types in order to explore its big ideas. However, now that Scott appears to have a firmer idea of where he’s going with the Prometheus trilogy and how it will link to Alien, perhaps Covenant will prove less divisive than its predecessor did.

    As for Alien: Covenant‘s October 6th, 2017 release date: Scott and Fox struck gold (both critically and financially) with the space adventure The Martian in October of this year, so clearly the studio is hoping that lightning strikes twice with Covenant.

    Val Kilmer Backtracks on 'Top Gun 2' Claim

    Val Kilmer created a commotion online Tuesday with a Facebook post declaring that he would reprise his role of Iceman in Top Gun 2. "Let's fire up some fighter jets again!!!" he wrote. Hours later, he said he "jumped the top gun" with the announcement. "Being offered a role is very different from doing a role," he wrote in his update. "[It's] an innocent mistake. It was just such a wonderful phone call with my agent."

    Kilmer's original post was very confusing. "I just got offered Top Gun 2 - not often you get to say 'yes' without reading the script," he wrote. Then, making matters worse, he gave examples of other things he'd say "yes" to – a movie starring Gene Hackman, a film helmed by Francis Ford Coppola – but written in a way that suggested they were attached to the Top Gun sequel. Later, he posted another update clarifying that he used Coppola and Hackman only as examples and apologizing for misleading people.

    Cruise, whom Kilmer mentioned in his original post, has not publicly accepted a role in the sequel. Nevertheless, the CEO of the production company handling the film said this past summer that, "There is no Top Gun without Maverick," referring to Cruise's character and thus hinting the actor would be onboard. Cruise has expressed optimism about the proposed film. "It would be fun," he told Reuters in July. "I would like to get back into those jets."

    Kilmer closed his update by honoring original Top Gun director Tony Scott. "We will all miss Tony Scott, one of the kindest gentlemen I've ever met in the film biz, but let's fire up some fighter jets again!!!" The filmmaker, who is Ridley Scott's brother and who also helmed Days of Thunder and True Romance, died of an apparent suicide in 2012.

    Plot details for Top Gun 2 were revealed earlier this year, with Tom Cruise's Maverick character hunting down drones in the film, which will be set in the present and account for the three decades between installments. Justin Marks, who wrote Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and next year's Jon Favreau–directed adaptation of Disney's The Jungle Book, is handling the script.

    "It is very much a world we live in today where it's drone technology, and fifth-generation fighters are really what the United States Navy is calling the last man-made fighter that we're actually going to produce, so it's really [about] exploring the 'end of an era' of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today," Skydance Productions chief David Ellison said during a junket for another film. The producer added that he hoped to make the film in IMAX and 3-D and that it would downplay digital effects.

    Cruise echoed that last stipulation in his Reuters interview. "I don't want any CGI jets," he said. "I want to shoot it like how we shot the first one."

    ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ Spoilers 2016: 3 Latest Scoops About the Much-Anticipated Winged Creeper Sequel


    Call me crazy but i really like this series...LOL...here is the scoop:

    After almost half a decade of silence, the long-in-the-works "Jeepers Creepers 3" movie will reportedly begin filming this year.

    Ever since the announcement of Myriad Pictures to fund Victor Salva's cult horror movie series last September, fans have been clamoring for production updates and spoilers as the movie's iconic villain is set to return for another 23-day feeding frenzy.

    While production updates have previously remain elusive, latest reports about the upcoming third sequel of the mythical cornfield creature's saga hinted that there's some hope it may be happening soon.

    The "Jeepers Creepers" film franchise attracted a solid movie fanbase following their creepy depiction of its iconic villain known as "The Creeper," who goes hunting for 23 days every 23rd spring for human body parts and organs. Now, the hype for the movie returns as full production commence this 2016.

    So, here are 3 latest scoops we've learned so far about the much-anticipated winged creeper sequel.

    1. "Jeepers Creepers 3" Plot

"The Creeper fights back in gory glory as its enemies grow closer than ever before to learning the secret of its dark origins."

    Salva, who both wrote and directed the first two installments, also promised fans for a "terrifying new chapter."

    "What will go before cameras as 'Jeepers Creepers 3' is a new and terrifying chapter from the Jeepers universe," Salva said. "We are bringing back the Creeper's truck, and will be addressing the big questions about The Creeper: what it is, where it came from and why it does what it does.

    2. "Jeepers Creepers" Creative Team


    The upcoming installment reunites the original creative team behind the first two films, which grossed a combine $120 million at the global box office. According to Dread Central, writer-director Salva will be back at the helm while Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope, which produced the first two films, will co-produce together with Kirk Shaw and Surai Gohill's Odyssey Media and Stan Spry's The Cartel.

    Coppola, Shaw and Spry will serve as producers. Myriad's Kirk D'Amico, on the other hand, will be the film's executive producer.

    3. "Jeepers Creepers 3" Cast

    Jonathan Breck will reprise his role as the Creeper, Movie Pilot revealed. Breck will be joined by Brandon Smith as Sergeant Davis Tubbs. The film is reportedly in active development with production, which expected to launch in Vancouver this year.

    In line with the latest updates on the film, there are also rumors that the script for the upcoming film sequel has been leaked. According to one of the comments on the Bloody-Disgusting article, the script was titled "Cathedral" and the sister from the first film as well as the father from the second installment were reportedly returning.

    What's more interesting was the claim about the appearance of a SWAT team on the film. However, the commenter said the script was not "good."

    Meanwhile, Salva's "Jeepers Creeper 3" first sales artwork will be making its way to the European Film Market in Berlin on Feb. 11 to 19, Horror-Movies has learned. Myriad Pictures will finance and handle international sales for the long-awaited third installment of the horror franchise.

    Remake of SPAWN

    Following the release the first theatrical attempt to capture the essence of the character and franchise in 1997, Spawn comic book series creator and seminal comic book writer and artist Todd McFarlane has been pushing hard in recent years to get production of a Spawn film reboot off the ground at last. With a finished script in hand, McFarlane hopes to see the new movie financed on a modest budget – as he appears primed to make good on past promises to bring back the cult-classic character to the big screen as the project’s directopr.

    After the relative box office success lauded onto the original Spawn film starring Michael Jai White, casting the new reboot will obviously be of major importance, especially when considering the seemingly unprecedented success of Image Comics’ associated property that is Deadpool. But the latest word from McFarlane has it that the script has finally been paired down from an initial 183 pages, and casting my soon get underway.

    In the below video initially posted on his personal Facebook account, McFarlane brings up the edited script for the Spawn reboot on his computer screen in Final Draft, where viewers can clearly see that the writer is on his way down to a more cinematically digestible 120 pages, with the document in question currently standing at 132 pages. After waxing ambitious for a couple of minutes about his writing process and the state of the film industry, McFarlane states that he plans on having his draft reviewed by a few people, seeing at least two potential actors to star in said production, and announce who his official financiers will be.

    Given the history of the character on film and TV, and especially considering the rather dated effect that the Spawn film from 1997 has had on the property, McFarlane might be taking on too much too soon, and potentially building hopes for the movie too high. Sight unseen, it’s hard to take McFarlane at his hyperbolic word, though he might yet surprise everyone – and produce a film to rival director Tim Miller’s inspired cinematic reinvention of Wade Wilson.

    For now, fans of McFarlane’s infamous anti-hero will have to wait from further word regarding the impending reboot from the man himself. Based on appearances alone, it would seem as though the Spawn reboot may finally happen – and given McFarlane’s exuberance and undeniable passion for the project going forward, things might just work the second time around for the comic book property on the big screen.
