Future Lucasfilm projects
Did not have time to blockbuster about Khan Solo to go on a rental, and Lucasfilm already plans new spin-offs. Kathleen Kennedy (president of the film company) said that the next picture from the "history" cycle will be devoted to adventurer Lando Calrissian. To his role, most likely, Donald Glover will return, no more details about the project so far. Meanwhile The Hollywood Reporter reports that the green light received the solo album of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The action will unfold in the period between the prequels and the original trilogy, when the Jedi lived on Tatooine and looked after the young Luke Skywalker. In the center of the plot there will be a conflict of local farmers with tribes of sandstones, then Obi-Wan will have to solve it. Ewan McGregor already expressed a desire to return to the role of Kenobi. Let's see if his leadership will hear Disney.
John Wick 3
The future John Wick 3 received a solid addition to the cast. In addition to Keanu Reeves, Lawrence Fishburn and Ian McShane, we will see on the screen Holly Berry. She will play Sophia - involuntary partner Wick. Hunt for Baba Yaga will be a whole team of murderers. Their roles will be played by Mark Dakaskos, martial arts master Tiger Chen, as well as the militant stars Reid 2 Yayan Rukhyan and Chechep Arif Rahman. This means that in the third part we are not only waiting for a lot of shooting, but also many beautiful melee fights. The film is directed by the first two films of Chad Stahelsky. The premiere is scheduled for May 16 next year.
Gyllenhaal as villain
Jake Gyllenhaal can play a villain in the new film about Spider-Man. Sony offered the actor the role of Quentin Beck, better known as Mysterio - the master of illusions. Also there are rumors that in the sequel will again appear Adrian Tooms performed by Michael Keaton. If this is true, then director John Watts, to some extent, will implement the idea of Sam Raimi. After all, in the leaked scenario Spider-Man 4 the heroes were just Mysterio and the Vulture. It should also be noted that Gyllenhaal in 2000 was one of the main contenders for the role of Peter Parker. Here such irony. Well, let's see if he agrees to become a supervillain.
Penniworth
As it became known last week, the next season Gotham will be the last. But this does not mean that the television bosses will simply release the Batman universe. On the contrary, they decided to dig even further into the past. The cable channel Epix ordered a ten-part season-show called Penniworth. As you can guess the main character will be Alfred - a faithful assistant and friend of the Dark Knight. The series will tell about the butler's youth, his service in British intelligence and his acquaintance with Thomas Wayne - Bruce's father. Apparently we are waiting for an espionage thriller with separate impregnations of mythology DC. Writer and producer was appointed showrunner ** Gotham ** Bruno Heller. However, Sean Pertwee, who played Alfred in the series from Fox, has nothing to do with the new project. The approximate date of the premiere Penniworth is still unknown.
Aragorn
The network has the first details of the plot Lord of the Rings from Amazon. Portal The one ring, referring to its sources, claims that the series will tell about Aragorn's youth. This corresponds to the information that appeared earlier that the events of the show will unfold before the start of the trilogy. And in general from all possible concepts this seems the most successful. Aragorn - one of the most popular characters of Tolkien. At the time of the Brotherhood of the Ring he is already 87 years old and he has experienced many adventures worthy of adaptation. Already for 5 seasons (how to plan a stream service), they will definitely be enough with a vengeance. Let me remind you that the project budget is estimated at one billion dollars. Last week, information appeared that Amazon plans to attract Peter Jackson as a producer or even a stage director. But there are also rumors that the director is in parallel talks here and on the screen version of one of their comics. I hope Jackson still agrees to return to Middle-earth.
Channel CW introduced the first big restart trailer Enchanted and something went wrong. It would seem that the plot is almost the same as in the original show, and the ability of the heroines is the same, and the song is fashionable, and the dislikes under the roller are still twice as great as the likes. Russian-speaking viewers have already renamed the series in "disappointed". Well, quite rightly. If you compare the makeup of demons from the original and not particularly impressive graphics from the trailer, then the advantage will not be on the side CW.
This is all the news for today, until new meetings!
