    JOKER origin movie being planned

    JOKER origin movie being planned :

    DEADLINE has the exclusive:
    Warner Bros and DC are in the early stages of another Batman Universe spinoff movie, this one telling the origin story of the signature villain The Joker. The studio has set The Hangover‘s Todd Phillips to co-write a script with 8 Mile scribe Scott Silver. Phillips will direct the movie, and Martin Scorsese will produce it with Phillips. This will be the first film under a new banner that has yet to be named in which WB can expand the canon of DC properties and create unique storylines with different actors playing the iconic characters.

    The storyline reportedly will be set in the early 1980s and will most likely be a gritty crime drama..

    Jared Leto will most likely NOT be the Joker, despite his reprisal of the role in SUICIDE SQUAD 2 and the HARLEY QUINN spin off..

  • CRUISE CONTROL

    CRUISE CONTROL

    Tom Cruise was the reason the MUMMY melted down this summer at the box office.. so says new reporting in Hollywood circles.. Apparently the star was fully in charge of the movie..

    FROM VARIETY

    There were few signs that a major blockbuster was about to premiere when “The Mummy” rolled into Manhattan last week. The marquee of the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theatres had gone blank. The carpet was totally covered with black plastic. Security only let guests past barricades after quizzing them about what they were there to see, and everybody had to walk through two imposing metal detectors.
    Inside the theater, Tom Cruise was jubilant, as he stood in front of the crowd. “Hey y’all,” said the 54-year-old actor. He introduced Alex Kurtzman, the film’s director, as well as the cast members, who stood quietly as Cruise delivered a 10-minute improvised speech. “Movies aren’t made by single people,” he said. “It’s a team effort.”
    But in the case of “The Mummy,” one person–Cruise–had an excessive amount of control, according to several people interviewed. The reboot of “The Mummy” was supposed to be the start of a mega-franchise for Universal Pictures. But instead, it’s become a textbook case of a movie star run amok.
    As Hollywood is playing the blame game on what went wrong on “The Mummy,” which had a measly domestic opening of just $32 million, many fingers are pointing to Cruise. In the same way that he commanded the stage at the film’s premiere, leaving his cast standing awkwardly by his side, several sources close to the production say that Cruise exerted nearly complete creative oversight on “The Mummy,” essentially wearing all the hats and dictating even the smallest decisions on the set. On stage, Cruise admitted his own perfectionist tendencies. “I don’t just make a movie. I give it everything I have and I expect it from everyone also.”
    Universal, according to sources familiar with the matter, contractually guaranteed Cruise control of most aspects of the project, from script approval to post-production decisions. He also had a great deal of input on the film’s marketing and release strategy, these sources said, advocating for a June debut in a prime summer period.

    Tom Holland ready to bring in the Spidey Bacon

    Inside sources hoping or praying: The first tracking figures are in for next month’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” which is on course to earn in the neighborhood of $90-108 million domestically in its opening weekend on July 7th.

    That’s erring towards Sam Raimi’s first “Spider-Man” in 2002 which made $114.8 million in its opening weekend, and a big improvement on Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” which made $62 million in its three-day domestic opening.

    LAST JEDI trailer revealed

    The highly guarded project’s panel Friday at Star Wars Celebration unveiled secrets from the film — and a new trailer.

    Some hints and puzzling features in the trailer–most certainly one of the interesting comments that will be discussed: “It’s time for the Jedi to end.”

    Here is the full panel discussion as well:

  • You really should see KONG SKULL ISLAND if you haven’t already

    You really should see KONG SKULL ISLAND if you haven’t already

    For those who haven’t yet seen KONG SKULL ISLAND, see it..

    It could be the best movie of this type (monsters bashing each other and humans being caught in the crosshairs) since JURASSIC WORLD..

    Mostly kid-friendly. I worry about those things now that I have a son. He noted that the “big” curse was in it once, and that there were lots of ‘poops but just the other word’ being uttered.

    Despite the number of violent deaths, it’s relatively gore free..

    And it’s just cool.

    Really cool.

    I really wish it would have come out in the summer instead of the dead of winter–this is the type of film that summers are made for..

  • Jordan Peele plans to direct a whole series of horror movies about ‘social demons’

    Jordan Peele plans to direct a whole series of horror movies about ‘social demons’

    Jordan Peele plans to direct a whole series of horror movies about ‘social demons’:

    Peele is giving us the social commentary horror film GET OUT. If you did not hear about it yet, you will. In “Get Out,” a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya) finds himself in a very messed up situation —actually a massive understatement — when he goes out to the country to visit his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) family. We won’t give anything else away, but if you’ve seen the trailer, you can get a hint of how Peele created a unique chiller that explores real ideas and attitudes about race, some of them quite ugly.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfnevzM9kQ?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque&w=540&h=304]

    But he won’t be done with that movie, apparently.. more are coming. 

    From Jason Guerrasio:

    But this is far from a one-and-done for Peele. He recently told Business Insider that “Get Out” is the first in a collection of movies he wants to direct that examine what he calls “social demons.”

    “I have four other social thrillers that I want to unveil in the next decade,” Peele told Business Insider. “The best and scariest monsters in the world are human beings and what we are capable of especially when we get together. I’ve been working on these premises about these different social demons, these innately human monsters that are woven into the fabric of how we think and how we interact, and each one of my movies is going to be about a different one of these social demons.”

    Peele’s examination of race and alienation in “Get Out” is an impressive, confident directorial debut. We can’t wait to see what he will throw at us next, though we’re also pretty afraid.
