Está mais perto um quinto filme da saga «Indiana Jones»

A Walt Disney Studios e a Paramount Pictures chegaram a um acordo em relação à saga Indiana Jones, que pertencia à LucasFilm [adquirida pela Disney há um ano atrás], mas que ainda estava ligada à Paramount em alguns pontos de decisão.

Entre outras coisas, este acordo dá à Disney os direitos de marketing e distribuição dos futuros filmes da franquia, permanecendo a Paramount com os direitos de distribuição sobre os quatro filmes da saga já estreados, para além de algumas recompensas monetárias sobre as novas produções que venham a ser lançadas pela Disney.

Com novos filmes em torno de Star Wars a caminho, a Disney não tem planos conhecidos para o quinto filme Indiana Jones, embora este entendimento elimine os últimos obstáculos para prosseguir, caso assim se entenda, com mais aventuras em torno da famosa personagem interpretada por Harrison Ford.

Já começaram as gravações de “Theory of Everything”, a cinebiografia de Stephen Hawking, o famoso e brilhante físico britânico. James Marsh é o realizador desta produção cinebiográfica, onde Eddie Redmayne dará vida à versão jovem de Stephen Hawking, cuja ilustre carreira não será abordada ao pormenor nesta obra, que se focará sobretudo na relação romântica entre Hawking e a sua mulher Jane, que será interpretada pela atriz Felicity Jones. O filme também irá mostrar as consequências físicas e mentais da progressiva degeneração física que Hawkings teve que enfrentar durante a sua época universitária, já que foi por esta altura que o físico descobriu que sofria de um doença degenerativa relativamente rara chamada Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica, que embora seja fatal na maior parte dos casos, acabou por não condenar Hawkings a uma morte precoce, já que ele ainda se encontra vivo, apesar das fortes limitações físicas que foram provocadas pela sua doença altamente debilitante. David Thewlis e Emily Watson também estão confirmadas no elenco deste filme, cujo enredo é baseado em “Travelling to Infinity: My life with Stephen”, o livro de memórias escrito por Jane Hawking. A estreia de “Theory of Everything” deverá ocorrer em 2014.

Já são conhecidos os Quatro Fantásticos no reboot de «Fantastic Four»

Com o boom dos filmes baseados em comics da Marvel, iniciado por O Homem de Ferro de Jon Favreau em 2008, as obras produzidas anteriormente parecem ter caído no obsoleto, sendo agora muitas deles, como a saga Fantastic Four (O Quarteto Fantástico), a família de super-heróis mais conhecida do planeta, alvo de uma “atualização”.

A série de banda desenhada criada por Stan lee e Jack Kirby em 1960 já fora adaptada ao grande ecrã pelo menos três vezes; a primeira em 1994 numa propositadamente esquecida versão de Oley Sassone (a produção do filme teve intuitos de salvaguardar os direitos de autoria), e em 2005 surgiu pelas mãos de Tim Story uma versão mais propícia às grandes audiências, que dois anos depois gerou uma sequela que contou com a aparição do célebre Surfista Prateado. Estas últimas duas versões obtiveram uma performance considerável nas bilheteiras, mas não agradaram de todo os fãs mais acérrimos. Porém a 20th Century Fox, o atual detentora dos direitos do comics, encontra-se interessada num reboot, e já conta com Josh Trank (Crónica) para o cargo de realizador.

Mais recentemente foi divulgado o elenco, nomeadamente os quatro protagonistas que irão desempenhar os famosos super-humanos. Segundo a revista Variety, Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station: A Última Paragem) irá prestar corpo ao carismático Johnny Storm, ou o alter-ego Homem-Tocha, uma escolha controversa para os fãs fervorosos da BD em derivação da etnia do ator - um afro-americano a desempenhar o papel de um caucasiano loiro e de olhos azuis. Kate Mara (127 Horas) encontra-se em reta final das negociações para ser Sue Storm / Mulher Invisível, o único membro feminino da especial equipa. Jamie Bell (Ninfomaníaca) será Ben Grimm / A Coisa e Miles Teller (O Outro Lado do Coração) foi proposto para interpretar o líder Reid Richards / Mr. Fantastic (popularmente apelidado de o Homem-Elástico).

Fantastic Four tem o argumento da autoria de Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Dias de um Futuro Esquecido) e de Jeremy Slater, e deverá chegar aos cinemas mundiais a 19 de Junho de 2015.

Vão fazer uma versão mini dos Fantastic Four?

Realmente, estive a pesquisar quem era quem e será um quarteto com aspecto de adolescentes?

‘Tucker and Dale Vs Evil 2′ in Production Soon

The news may be a few days old, but it appears to be official: Tucker and Dale Vs Evil 2 is in development and slotted for production soon! Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine, Tucker and Dale respectively, made the announcement last week at the Horrorhound Convention in Cincinnati, confirming the long-awaited sequel to a roomful of jubilant horror fans.
The original Tucker and Dale, 2010, is a campy, crowd-pleasing, horror spoof with plenty of heavy-handed gore, young skin, and two loveable but dimwitted heroes, Tudyk and Labine. The duo plays a pair of best friends gone to a remote cabin on a weekend fishing trip. Despite Tucker and Dale’s best intentions to help a group of ill-fated college kids who are searching the wilderness for a lost friend, the unfolding of events jumps from one misunderstanding to the next…”misunderstanding” meaning one senseless, unavoidable college-kid death-by-chainsaw after another. Yet, due to Tudyk and Labine’s ability to pull on heartstrings in spite of the death toll, Tucker and Dale persevere and an unexpected tenderness prevails, showcasing a memorable and heart-warming movie-screen friendship.
While at HorrorHound Convention (HorrorHound is a convention and website devoted to all things horror), Tudyk and Labine were part of a panel discussion in which they unexpectedly announced with nearly total confidence that Tucker and Dale Vs Evil 2 was soon headed into production. The panel attendees could not contain their horror elation. The inquiry of whether or not a sequel was going to be made has been an unanswered question from fans for a few years. Even Tudyk was in the dark.
News of the sequel actually emerged as a result of Tudyk’s ignorance. While at SXSW, he told an inquisitive interviewer that as far as he knew a second movie was not in the works. When the producers caught sight of the article and Tudyk’s comment, they contacted the bewildered actor and set him straight. Tudyk received an email only a few days before the convention stating, “Guys, we need to talk…” Apparently, the producers have an outline for the script, are honing in on who they want to write it, and they really want to make another Tucker and Dale. Tudyk snorts that since the confirmation came from a “producer-y type guy,” and not a director, he felt pretty certain the sequel was a go. Find a clip of the announcementhere.
During the panel discussion, Labine assured fans him and Tudyk are highly protective of Tucker and Dale property, stating, “Don’t worry. We’ll never make a sh—y sequel.” More or less, Labine is pledging to fans that neither Tudyk nor he will hitch their wagons to a less than adequate project. Although the concept of a campy, horror flick may seem over-done, Tudyk and Labine surprisingly succeeded with the first movie, and appear confident and excited to do it again.
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil did not have a huge run in the theaters, but since its release on home video outlets like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video it has developed quite a cult following. It is expected Tucker and Dale Vs Evil 2 will produce a similar reception out of the gate, and hopefully sooner than later!

Lionsgate Partners With Freddie Wong's RocketJump Studios

Content deal gives studio access to one of YouTube's most prominent figures

Lionsgate is partnering with YouTube phenomenon Freddie Wong on a new multi-year film, television and digital content alliance, the studio announced on Monday.

Under the pact, Wong's company, RocketJump Studios will get access to Lionsgate's marketing and distribution heft, while the studio will be able to tap into the YouTube videos and filmmaking talent.

In Wong and RocketJump, Lionsgate gain entree to 6.8 million subscribers and nearly a billion views across all platforms. Wong's success at building a brand on these emerging platforms and the popularity of his web series, “Video Game High School,” has not gone unnoticed by major studios, but so far he has largely resisted Hollywood's entreaties, preferring to go it alone and retain more creative control. Instead he's often turned to crowd-funding sites like Indiegogo to bankroll his work.

“This partnership unites two entrepreneurial companies with similar cultures and a shared commitment to build new models for creating and delivering content to the next generation of audiences,” said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer in a statement. “Freddie Wong is one of digital media's most prolific and visionary creators, and RocketJump is a bold and innovative platform that expands the breadth and diversity of content we bring to our audiences and extends our storytelling abilities in exciting new directions.”

“Lionsgate stood out as the one studio that really gets our brand and will give us the freedom to flourish as digital content creators and distributors,” Wong said in a statement. “It's rare to find a corporate partner who encourages true creativity, but our meetings with Lionsgate's creative team convinced us that this is the right move for RocketJump and our millions of fans.”

Lionsgate's digital portfolio includes a stake in the Defy Media online platform, the BeFit branded fitness channel on YouTube and Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.”

The Legendary Star Wars Expanded Universe Turns a New Page April 25, 2014

+ Enlarge Image

For over 35 years, the Expanded Universe has enriched the Star Wars experience for fans seeking to continue the adventure beyond what is seen on the screen. When he created Star Wars, George Lucas built a universe that sparked the imagination, and inspired others to create. He opened up that universe to be a creative space for other people to tell their own tales. This became the Expanded Universe, or EU, of comics, novels, videogames, and more.

While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six Star Wars episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align.

Now, with an exciting future filled with new cinematic installments of Star Wars, all aspects of Star Wars storytelling moving forward will be connected. Under Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy's direction, the company for the first time ever has formed a story group to oversee and coordinate all Star Wars creative development.

"We have an unprecedented slate of new Star Wars entertainment on the horizon," said Kennedy. "We're set to bring Star Wars back to the big screen, and continue the adventure through games, books, comics, and new formats that are just emerging. This future of interconnected storytelling will allow fans to explore this galaxy in deeper ways than ever before."

In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe. While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe. For example, elements of the EU are included in Star Wars Rebels. The Inquisitor, the Imperial Security Bureau, and Sienar Fleet Systems are story elements in the new animated series, and all these ideas find their origins in roleplaying game material published in the 1980s.

Demand for past tales of the Expanded Universe will keep them in print, presented under the new Legends banner.

On the screen, the first new canon to appear will be Star Wars Rebels. In print, the first new books to come from this creative collaboration include novels from Del Rey Books. First to be announced, John Jackson Miller is writing a novel that precedes the events of Star Wars Rebels and offers insight into a key character's backstory, with input directly from executive producers Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman.

And this is just the beginning of a creatively aligned program of Star Wars storytelling created by the collaboration of incredibly talented people united by their love of that galaxy far, far away....

StarWars.com. All Star Wars, all the time.

Eu nem sei muito bem o que dizer... Todo o EU, a partir de agora é, pura e simplesmente, para ignorar.

Bravo Disney, nota-se bem que o dinheiro é mesmo o vosso principal interesse.

[Baron Soontir Fel]

A disney para mim pode dizer o que lhe apetecer para mim como fan de star wars com mais de 100 livros do expanded universe, aliás tenho todos os que cronologicamente se desenrolam após a trilogia original, vou continuar a considerar o expanded como canon e os novos filmes como universo paralelo.

Dito isto e tendo em conta que eles já disseram que vão usar personagens criadas no EU nos novos filmes seria um fail monumental não usar pelo menos a Mara Jade e o Thrawn.
