Anya Taylor-Joy Will Star in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho

Anya Taylor-Joy will star in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho

A few weeks after the director revealed the project’s existence, Variety reports that Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Split) will star in Edgar Wright’s newest feature film, Last Night in Soho. Taylor-Joy can be seen in theaters now in Glass.

Plot details are light on the movie, but Wright calls it a psychological horror-thriller in the vein of Don’t Look Now and Roman Polanski’s Repulsion. The film will take place in London’s Soho district and is set to bring production this summer. Wright co-wrote the script for the film with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Penny Dreadful).

“I realised I had never made a film about central London – specifically Soho, somewhere I’ve spent a huge amount of time in the last 25 years,” Wright told Empire about the movie. “With Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead you make movies about places you’ve lived in. This movie is about the London I’ve existed in.”

Wright is known for his work on the British series Spaced, as well as comedies like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Baby Driver, which has a sequel in development after becoming his highest grossing film of all time.

Mel Gibson & Sean Penn in The Professor and The Madman Trailer

Post date February 2, 2019

Mel Gibson and Sean Penn Are The Professor and The Madman in first trailer

After a two-year delay due to legal issues, the Mel Gibson and Sean Penn-starring biopic The Professor and The Madman is making headway in getting to the big screen with Vertical Entertainment acquiring the distribution rights last month and now releasing the first trailer for the project, which can be viewed in the player below!

The film is based on the 1998 book, the true story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary — a tale that delves into madness, genius and two obsessive men who changed the course of literary history. Gibson will play Professor James Murray, who in 1857 set about compiling the OED, one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. Penn will play Dr. W. C. Minor, who submitted more than 10,000 entries but was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.

Screenwriter Farhad Safinia (Apocalypto) will make his feature directing debut on The Professor and the Madman after co-writing the screenplay with John Boorman and Todd Komarnicki. Gibson and Bruce Davey will produce. In addition to Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge) and Penn (Gangster Squad), the film also stars Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones), Ioan Gruffudd (San Andreas), Jeremy Irvine (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Steve Coogan (Stan & Ollie), Jennifer Ehle (The Miseducation of Cameron Post) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan).

The film was shot in 2016 and was expected for a late 2017 release, but following a lawsuit in July 2017 between Gibson’s Icon Productions and Voltage Pictures over controlling certain aspects of production, including final cut, the film was shelved. But after a judge denied Gibson’s motion, the rights to the film were open to business and Vertical Entertainment acquired the rights in January. Although no release date is set, the release of a trailer and the fact the film is already completed are good signs it could hit theaters before the end of the year.

Escape from New York Remake Being Penned by Leigh Whannell

Post date February 1, 2019

Escape from New York remake being penned by Leigh Whannell

Leigh Whannell (Upgrade) will be writing Fox’s Escape from New York remake, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The news follows the recent announcement that Whannell will be writing and directing The Invisible Man for Universal.

The original 1981 John Carpenter classic was set in a future (then 1997) where Manhattan had been turned into an island-sized maximum-security prison. When the president of the United States crashes into the decaying city, an outlaw (played by Kurt Russell) is coerced into traveling inside to rescue him.

The outlet notes that Whannell’s vision for the film will retain elements of the original while also bringing new ideas to the table. Whannell wants to avoid the “bloated tentpole remake path” that afflicted other reboots of 1980’s classics like Robocop and Total Recall.

There is no current deal for Whannell to direct, but it is possible he could take over directing duties as well. Neil Cross (Luther) was originally attached to write the movie with Robert Rodriguez set to direct before both dropped off of the project.

Whannell previously worked with Jason Blum on Insidious: The Last Key and Upgrade and will be reuniting with the producer on the upcoming Invisible Man project as Blumhouse Productions will produce the Universal Pictures movie. He also wrote the comedy-drama The Mule, the first three films in the Saw franchise, and Dead Silence.

Long Shot: Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron comedy gets new title

The Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron comedy set to premiere at SXSW this year now has a new title. The film, once titled Flarsky, will be titled Long Shot. It was first set to premiere on February 8, but test audiences evidently compared the film favorably to Rogen’s earlier smash-hit comedy Knocked Up.

In the movie, Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen), an unemployed journalist battered by his own misfortune, endeavors to pursue his childhood crush and babysitter who now happens to be one of the most powerful and unattainable women on the planet (Charlize Theron). In the film, Theron’s character is the Secretary of State and is attempting a run for President of the United States. The Interview‘s Dan Sterling wrote the script. Jonathan Levine, who previously worked with Rogen on 50/50 and The Night Before, directed.

A Point Grey, Denver & Delilah and Good Universe production, Flarsky will be produced by A.J. Dix, Evan Goldberg, Beth Kono, and James Weaver alongside Rogen and Theron. Sterling will serve as executive producer alongside Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane. Alex McAtee will be overseeing for Point Grey with Erin Westerman doing so for Good Universe.

First Look at the Returning Cast of Zombieland: Double Tap!

Post date January 29, 2019

First look at the returning cast of Zombieland: Double Tap!

After just learning that Rosario Dawson had joined the cast, we now have our first look at the returning cast for the long-awaited Zombieland sequel, now officially titled Zombieland: Double Tap! Check out the full photo in the gallery below!

Director Ruben Fleischer and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were all put on the map following the success, with Fleischer helming the most recent entry into Sony’s first Spider-Man spinoff Venom, and Rheese and Wernick going on to help bring the Deadpool franchise to life for Fox, and all of them will be returning to the director’s and writers’ chairs for the sequel.

The film will also feature the return of stars Woody Harrelson (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Jesse Eisenberg (Now You See Me), Emma Stone (La La Land) and Abigail Breslin (Scream Queens), which may raise the budget to above $24 million this time, especially given Stone’s Oscar win La La Land, Harrelson’s nomination for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Eisenberg’s nomination for The Social Network. Dawson will also be joining franchise newcomers Zoey Deutch (Set it Up) and Avan Jogia (Victorious).

The original followed four strangers who meet on the road in the middle of the zombie apocalypse and, while initially at each other’s throats, they soon come to bond with each other and form a close-bonded group. Harrelson played the violent cowboy Tallahassee, Eisenberg played geeky Columbus, with Stone and Breslin playing crafty sisters Wichita and Little Rock, all characters named after the locations they are heading to.

Zombieland came out in 2009 and quickly became one of the most talked-about and acclaimed hits for the zombie genre, with critics and audiences praising it for its intelligent humor, gleeful gore, self-aware nature and the minor ensemble’s fantastic chemistry. The film was also a commercial hit, grossing over $100 million globally off of a $24 million budget, as well as earning over $55 million on home media as of 2015.

The sequel is expected to be released next year on October 2019, just in time for the 10th anniversary of the original film.
