The Ring Sequel Rings Pushed Back to 2016

The Ring Sequel Rings Pushed Back to 2016

The Ring sequel release date pushed into next year

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has pushed back its upcoming The Ring sequel, Rings, from its scheduled release date of November 13 to an unspecified 2016 release. Though unconfirmed, a first quarter release is likely for the film.

Rings stars Alex Roe as Holt, a young man who begins to become distant from his girlfriend, Julia (Matilda Lutz), after watching the infamous deadly videotape the series is known for. “The Big Bang Theory” star Johnny Galecki will co-star in the film.

Released in 2002, The Ring was an English-language remake of Hideo Nakata’s 1998 supernatural thriller, Ringu, which told the story of a videotape of ghostly imagery that causes anyone who watches it to die seven days later. Ringu was followed by three Japanese sequels, while the Verbinski version received its own 2005 sequel directed by Nakata, titled The Ring Two.

We previously reported that a key character will be returning to the franchise. Click here to find out who, but please be aware of potential spoilers. 

F. Javier Gutiérrez, best known for helming Before the Fall, is directing Rings, with Academy Award-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman writing the script based on a draft by David Loucka.

Are you looking forward to The Ring sequel? Here’s that famous scene again from the 2002 release, starring Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller Adapting Serial Podcast to Television

Phil Lord and Chris Miller Adapting Serial Podcast to Television.

The popular Serial podcast is coming to television!

Having already conquered internet cynicism by successfully rebooting 21 Jump Street and turning LEGOs into a full-fledged movie franchise, filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller have set their sights on their next gigantic task. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Lord and Miller will adapt the popular Serial podcast, which debuted just last year.

Specific details on what the series will be are being kept under wraps, but the outlet reports that the plan is “to create a cable series based on the experience of making the hugely successful podcast” and not about the specific case from the series detailing the murder investigation of Hae Min Lee and the arrest of Adnan Syed.

THR reports that Lord and Miller pitched their vision of the series to creator Sarah Koenig and her producers who responded positively to the idea.

“From the very first week of Serial’s release last fall, everyone at Fox 21TVS was obsessed with the podcast. One year later, thanks to the incredible passion of Chris and Phil, who flew to New York and shared their vision with Sarah, Julie [Synder], Alissa [Shipp] and Ira [Glass] for what the series could be, we’re moving forward on this exciting project,” said Fox 21 TV Studios president Bert Salke. “What you have here is a ‘once every ten years creative storytelling phenom’ with a ‘once in ten years take’ with a ‘once in twenty-five years creative team.’ We are confident we’ll attract a spectacular writer and look forward to pitching it to outlets very soon.”

Serial’s Julie Snyder adds, “Chris and Phil take an unexpected approach to telling stories and that is so appealing to us at Serial. They experiment. They don’t mimic formulas. Developing a show with them is exciting because we feel like we speak the same language, only they’re smarter than us.”

The hunt is currently on for a writer/producer to spearhead the project which they will then pitch to networks.

Lord and Miller have a number of other high-profile projects in the pipeline, including a 21 Jump Street/Men in Black combo film, the animated Spider-Man movie, The Flash movie, and a Han Solo movie.

Critics’ Choice Awards to air live on Sunday, January 17

A+E Networks, home of “The Critics’ Choice Television Awards” and “The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards” for the past year, will combine the two shows into one star-studded three-hour event. Together, the network and its continued partnership with the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) and the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) will showcase the achievements of some of the biggest names in television and film today. The announcement was made jointly today by Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President of Programming for A&E, and Joey Berlin, BFCA/BTJA President. “The 21st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards” will air live on A&E, Lifetime and LMN on Sunday, January 17 at 8PM ET/PT immediately following a live Red Carpet show at 7PM ET/PT.

Last year’s movie and television award shows were hosted by Michael Strahan and Cat Deeley, respectively, joined by the industry’s biggest stars. The host for this year’s combined award show will be announced at a later date.

“We are thrilled to bring the two Critics’ Choice Awards shows into one super-show,” said Berlin. “At a time when there are so many great movies and television shows to choose from – and so many spectacular performances – it is logical, appropriate and useful for America’s leading film and television critics and reporters to collectively honor the best of the best at the start of the new year. Bringing all these stars together in one room is going to create an incredible night of entertainment.”

“Combining the television and film communities within one telecast of‘The Critics’ Choice Awards’ even further elevates this star-studded gala event,” said Frontain Bryant. “We’re thrilled to be able to give viewers an up close look at so much talent together under one roof with this unique and enhanced awards show.”

“The Critics’ Choice Awards” are bestowed annually by the BFCA and BTJA to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. The BFCA is the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada, representing almost 300 television, radio and online critics. BFCA members are the primary source of information for today’s film going public. BTJA is the collective voice of almost 100 journalists who regularly cover television for TV viewers, radio listeners and online audiences. Historically, “The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards” are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations.

“The 21st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards” will be produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment. BFCA/BTJA were represented by WME and Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig on this deal.

Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks Begin Production on Sully

Clint Eastwood has started production on Sully.

Clint Eastwood has started production today on the Captain Sullenberger biopic, Sully

Production is underway today on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Captain “Sully” Sullenberger biopic, now officially titled Sully. It is set to star Academy Award winner Tom Hanks (Bride of Spies, Captain Phillips) as Captain Sully and it is being directed by Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood (American SniperMillion Dollar Baby).

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain Sully (Hanks) glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.

Sully also stars Aaron Eckhart (Olympus Has Fallen, The Dark Knight) as Sully’s co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney (The Savages, Kinsey) as Sully’s wife, Lorraine Sullenberger.

Eastwood is directing the film from a screenplay by Todd Komarnicki, based on the book Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters, by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. The project is being produced by Eastwood, Frank Marshall, Allyn Stewart and Tim Moore, with Kipp Nelson serving as executive producer.

The film reunites Eastwood with several of his longtime collaborators, who most recently worked with the director on the worldwide hit American Sniper: director of photography Tom Stern and production designer James J. Murakami, who were both Oscar-nominated for their work on The Changeling; costume designer Deborah Hopper; and editor Blu Murray.

Principal photography on Sully began on Monday, September 28, in New York, where the water landing that instantly made Sully a household name was achieved. Filming will also take place in North Carolina, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

A Malpaso, Flashlight Films, Kennedy/Marshall Company production, Sully will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. A release date has not yet been revealed.

CS Video: The Martian’s Jessica Chastain and a Real-Life NASA Astronaut

CS Video: The Martian's Jessica Chastain and a Real-Life NASA Astronaut

Interview with The Martian’s Jessica Chastain and a real-life NASA astronaut

There’s been a wave of films about outer space exploration and travel in the past couple of years, and Ridley Scott’s The Martian will be joining them this Friday, October 2, adapted from the noel by Andy Weir.

While much of the focus is rightfully being put on Matt Damon, who plays Mark Watney, an astronaut and botanist stranded on the red planet, he has a great supporting cast, including the one and only Jessica Chastain who plays Commander Melissa Lewis, who is in charge of the mission to Mars that goes wrong. Her crew is on the spaceship Hermes on the long journey back to Earth when they discover that Watney is still alive and she has to make the tough decision whether to return, putting their own survival in jeopardy.

Chastain is always a fun interview, but when ComingSoon.net attended the junket for The Martian at the Toronto International Film Festival a few weeks back, Chastain was paired with actual NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson who crewed the Space Shuttle Endeavour and spent time on the International Space Station. Dyson was assigned the role of getting Chastain up to speed on what it’s like to lead a mission into space, and it was a surprisingly fun interview, mainly because (as I said) Chastain always makes her interviews fun.

At the end, we decided to slip in a little question about the chances of her playing Carol Danvers aka Marvel’s Captain Marvel being that the character is also an astronaut and Chastain looked quite comfortable in her NASA uniform. She quickly found a way to skirt the subject, so the next day, when we interviewed Emily Blunt for Sicario (an interview you can watch here), we gave her a chance to make her own appeal to play the character (because she’s also quite a badass in that film.) 

The Martian opens nationwide on Friday, October 2 with previews on Thursday night. Check out our previous interviews with Matt Damon and Ridley Scott and we have more to come! (If you can’t get enough of Jessica Chastain–and honestly, could there ever be too much Jessica Chastain?–we’ll have more with her in a couple o weeks talking about Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak.)

Michael Moore’s Where to Invade Next Picked Up for Distribution

Michael Moore's Where to Invade Next Picked Up for Distribution.

Michael Moore’s Where to Invade Next to be released in December

Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore announced this morning he’s chosen the distributor for his hotly-pursued new film Where to InvadeNext – and ended up breaking some news in the process.

Former RADiUS Founders and Co-Presidents Tom Quinn and Jason Janego are teaming with Alamo Drafthouse Founder and CEO Tim League to form a new distribution label — and are making Moore’s subversive, crowd-pleasing comedy their very first release.

Moore describes his new distributor as a “cinematic Dream Team, consisting of three of this country’s most beloved film geeks and movie advocates, individuals who are much-admired by the indie filmmaking community. It is clear to me that they want to forge something new for a new century. They decided it was time to rethink the way movies are made, doing it with filmmakers who create their best work in a supportive environment, unfettered by a traditional studio system. I believe that Tom, Jason, and Tim, are poised to revolutionize film distribution by creating an entirely different movie-going experience for the audience.”

Quinn, Janego and League stated: “Together with Michael Moore and his extraordinary new film we hope to remind Americans they have the inalienable right to laugh, especially in an election year. We’re thrilled about our new label and can’t think of a better film or filmmaker to launch with.” The company name and details of the new venture will be revealed at a later date.

Where to Invade Next explores the current state of the nation in a form that is quintessential Moore: provocative, impassioned and very funny. The film was a runaway hit with audiences and critics at this month’s Toronto International Film Festival. The film’s American premiere is this Friday evening at the New York Film Festival presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Moore’s epic journey will invade American cinemas this December — and will be in hundreds of theaters across the country ahead of the first presidential primary.

Kevin Feige Teases Marvel Phase Three

An Age of Ultron Blu-ray event leads to clues about Marvel Phase Three.

Get ready for Marvel Phase Three news! Kevin Feige promises “a whole slew of casting announcements over the next few months”

Marvel Phase Three officially begins for the “cinematic universe” when Captain America: Civil War hits the big screen May 6, 2016. Doctor Strange will soon follow on November 4. Then, moving into 2017, Marvel will start to deliver three movies a year. As studio President Kevin Feige can attest, overseeing such a grand tapestry of story is no small feat. Speaking last night at a special Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray and DVD release art show, Feige joined fellow Marvel Studios producer Jeremy Latcham for a Q&A in Los Angeles’ Hero Complex gallery. As one might imagine, the topic of Marvel Phase Three came up quite a bit.

Also revealed at the gallery show was a new Avengers: Age of Ultron poster by Tyler Stout. Click on the image above for the full version. 

“It is very much Cap’s story,” Feige says of Civil War. “It’s very much a sequel to ‘The Winter Soldier.’ As that conflict builds, it is represented as a conflict between Cap and Tony.”

After leaving the team at the end of Age of Ultron, one might wonder where Tony Stark is, exactly, as Marvel Phase Three begins.

“He’s still funding the whole thing,” says Kevin Feige. “He’s not necessarily going too far. He’s funding that whole operation in his father’s warehouse, as we learned in ‘Ant-Man.’ …I think we are seeing a Tony who is trying to become more responsible. There are things that happen between the movies that we’ll learn about in ‘Civil War’ that make [his arc] even more personal.”

Feige also made it clear that, while Civil War is set to feature a massive ensemble cast, it’s not going to take away from the central Marvel Phase Three story.

“There’s a lot of characters in ‘The Winter Soldier,'” he explains, “but it still felt like a very singular and relatively simple thrill ride. Cap, in Civil War, follows very much that same way. That something that we pride ourselves on. Our screenwriters — Chris Markus and Stephen McFeely — are excellent at giving each character just enough. It’s not full arcs for everybody. It’s just enough so that their presence is felt and is important, but that the very clear, single story that is being told is being served at all times.”

After Doctor Strange, Marvel Phase Three is set to bring us Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, Spider-Man and Thor: Ragnarok in 2017. It won’t be long, though, before we start hearing some of the big casting.

“I think we’ll be having a whole slew of casting announcements over the next few months,” says Feige. “Before the end of the year. I think that on both [Thor: The Dark World] and [Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2] and some other films.”

Naturally, the team at Marvel Studios is overjoyed to the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man entering the MCU in Marvel Phase Three.

“Making that deal with Amy [Pascal] and Michael Lynton and Tom Rothman at Sony was just great,” says Feige. “It was really amazing. On a personal level, making these movies, it means a lot because I think that we can do great things with Spider-Man. I think Spider-Man can serve a great purpose in our universe and that’s where he belongs. That’s what’s unique about him in the comics. It’s not that he’s only super hero in the world. It’s that he’s a totally different kind of super hero than can compare against all the other ones in the Marvel Universe.”

2018 will see the arrival of Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, in Marvel Phase Three. In fact, Captain Marvel came close to making an appearance in Age of Ultron.

“Very, very early in development, there was a notion that there could be a ton of new people,” said Latcham of Age of Ultron‘s final scene. “And then it was like, ‘We haven’t really introduced them. We don’t know where they’re gonna come from. Joss kind of did not love that idea… It was an early discussion. Then it became, ‘We’ll just see Captain Marvel.’ Then that felt weird. Just to have one new person.”

“The truth is, it didn’t seem appropriate to have this new person in a new costume just literally come out of nowhere at the end of the story,” adds Feige. “It would have been a disservice to what, by the time this movie was coming out, people knew was coming anyway… Part of it, too, is that Cap says, ‘They’re not the ’27 Yankees.’ If Captain Marvel is there, what are we saying about her? There’s a notion that they — Wanda and Vision and, I think to a lesser extent, Falcon and Rhodey — need to learn what it means to be a team.”

Speaking of learning to be a team, Feige also laid out exactly what tends to land Marvel Studios directors the gig and there’s every reason to suspect that the same process is going to continue throughout Marvel Phase Three.

“We always usually have a kernel of an idea of what we want a story to be or even just the tonality of a particular movie to be,” says Feige. “I’m hiring a lot of filmmakers right now. It really comes down to numerous meetings. John Watts is the most recent one on Spider-Man. Numerous meetings where we sort of pitch them what the movie should be. Then we start a discussion. If, over the course of three or four or five meetings, they make it way better than what we were initially spewing to them, they usually get the job.”

A big topic of conversation moving into Marvel Phase Three revolved around the “visions” that Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch uses against the team. In Iron Man’s vision, for instance, we see a number of non-Avengers that have also fallen alongside the team. Are these people that we’re going to learn more about at some point in Marvel Phase Three?

“There was always a sense that, whatever this big thing is that the Avengers have to pay the price to save everything,” Latcham explains. “At least that was kind of the idea in that vision. The question, going forward with Infinity War, is ‘Were those literal visions? Were those your worst fears being projected at you? Is that a prediction of the future, or is it a sense of impending doom that keeps you awake at night? That’s something that we’ll have to explore in Infinity War and kind of figure out how literal or not those are. I think it’s more — if I was to guess — that’s more just fear. The fear of other people paying the cost for what he’s done.”

Behind the scenes, though, the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is both steady and ever-changing.

 “Yes,” Feige said when asked if Infinity War had been fully plotted, “In broad strokes. Sometimes in super-specific things. But, for the most part, in broad strokes that are broad enough and loose enough that if, through the development of four or five movies before we get to the culmination, as you say, we still have room to sway and to move and to go and to surprise ourselves in the place we end up.”

“I think it definitely is an end of some version of the team that we’ve come to know as The Avengers,” Latcham says of the Marvel Phase Three capper. “Who knows exactly what’s going to happen yet in that film… It’s not the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is the end of part of it, for sure. We’re still trying to sort out which parts that means.”

One aspect likely to change about the MCU moving forward through Marvel Phase Three and beyond is the relationship between television and film. Although we’ve seen the effects of the movies on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Feige suggests that it’s only a matter of time before television events will be referenced in the films.

“I think that’s inevitable at some point as we’re plotting the movies going forward,” he says. “The schedules do not always match up to make that possible. They’re more nimble and faster and are able to produce things more quicker than we do. That’s one of the reasons you can feel the effects of The Winter Solider or Age of Ultron on the show. Going forward and certainly as they tend to do more shows and cast as such great actors as they have — particularly on the Daredevil show — that may occur… By the time we start doing a movie, they’d be midway through a season. By the time our movie comes out, they’d be done with the second and starting the third season. Finding the timing on that is not always easy.”

Feige also directly responded to one question about the possibility of ‎Vincent D’Onofrio appearing in a Spider-Man film, specifically stating that nothing like that is currently being planned.

Scheduling is also what’s currently preventing additional Marvel One-Shots from going into production. 

“We talk about them a lot!” says Feige. “We have characters like that that Jeremy is always talking about. “When are we gonna do Howard?When are we gonna do Cosmo?”…We are relatively small team, now moving into three movies a year. It’s just about finding the time and place to do that. But there’s a backlog of ideas.”

Avengers: Age of Ultron is available on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D this Friday, October 2. Marvel Phase Three will officially kick off with Captain America: Civil War on May 6, 2016.
