Sam Mendes Won't Direct 'Bond 24'

Posted 3/6/13 11:30 am EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Sad news, James Bond fans: Sam Mendes isn't going to direct "Bond 24." Despite early reports to the contrary, Mendes has confirmed that he's passed on the project.

“It has been a very difficult decision not to accept Michael [Wilson] and Barbara [Broccoli]’s very generous offer to direct the next Bond movie," Mendes told Empire magazine. "Directing 'Skyfall' was one of the best experiences of my professional life, but I have theatre and other commitments, including productions of 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' and 'King Lear,' that need my complete focus over the next year and beyond."

Jon Stewart To Make His Directorial Debut With 'Rosewater'

Posted 3/5/13 3:30 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart is taking a break from "The Daily Show," but don't be alarmed. The comedian has lined up his directorial debut, and plans to film it over the summer.

The movie will be called "Rosewater," Deadline reports, and is an adaptation of the book "Then They Came For Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity and Survival." Needless to say, this doesn't sound like it's going to be a comedy.

Resident Evil

The "Resident Evil" movie series has finally caught up with its source material. The video game "Resident Evil 6" was only just released on October 2, 2012, and it's being reported that Sony Pictures is working on a sixth film as well.

Shock Till You Drop learned that Sony has set a release date for the new movie. It will hit theaters on September 12, 2014, and will seemingly conclude the three-movie story arc that director Paul W.S. Anderson started in the fourth "Resident Evil" movie, "Resident Evil: Afterlife."

'Wreck-It Ralph 2' Could Introduce Multiple Ralphs

Posted 3/1/13 12:59 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Wreck-It Ralph

Considering the success "Wreck-It Ralph" had in theaters, it's no wonder that director Rich Moore is cooking up a sequel to the movie. He opened up about his plans for a "Wreck-It Ralph 2" when asked during a recent interview if there were other Fix It Felix, Jr. arcade games with Ralph's personality out in the film's world.

"That is so funny that you ask that because I was just talking to John C. Reilly [the voice of Ralph] and we were talking about exactly that," Moore told Hypable. As it turns out, that's one route Moore is thinking of going with his upcoming sequel.

'Fast & Furious 6' Featurette Previews Michelle Rodriguez Origin Story

Posted 2/27/13 12:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Video

Fast & Furious 6

Instead of progressing the "Fast and Furious" storyline in "Fast & Furious 6," star Vin Diesel and director Justin Lin are actually taking the movie a step backwards. As Diesel explained in a new featurette for the movie, this new installment of the fan-favorite series will serve to introduce audiences to the real version of Michelle Rodriguez' character Letty.

"In some ways, this film is the origin story of Letty," Diesel explained. Rodriguez added, "It will be interesting to see how you take up a character that — you have to watch it, I can't really explain much without giving it away."

Angelina Jolie Taps Coen Brothers To Rewrite Next Directorial Effort

Posted 2/26/13 11:30 am EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Angelina Jolie

Here's a collaboration we never thought we'd see: Angelina Jolie has tapped Joel and Ethan Coen to rewrite her next directorial effort, "Unbroken."

That's right, The Hollywood Reporter reports that Jolie has managed to wrangle the Coen Brothers to make sure that her next film will be in the best shape it can possibly be. This movie has been in development at Universal for over 50 years, but Jolie only recently took the project from former helmer Francis Lawrence. If the movie had script issues, the Coens really are the right people to be asked to straighten them out.

Quvenzhane Wallis

Will Gluck's upcoming "Annie" remake has found its leading lady in the form of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhane Wallis. The same weekend she made her appearance as the youngest ever Best Actress Oscar nominee, she was confirmed for the starring role.

That part had originally gone to Willow Smith, but she passed on it in January. Now Wallis is confirmed for the role, Deadline reports, which will be her first starring part since "Beasts." Wallis also has a small role in Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years a Slave."

20,000 Leagues

So much for the plan for Brad Pitt to star in David Fincher's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." According to a new report, the actor is no longer a prospective part of the project.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed Pitt's departure (if he ever was attached), but it's not all bad news for the Jules Verne adaptation. Apparently the Australian government has offered Walt Disney Pictures a 30 percent rebate if the studio opts to film the movie down under.
