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.

Star Wars

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.

LOTR

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!

A new film by Taika Vaitity

After the release of the third part of the adventures of the Thunder God of Thunder, many spectators were somewhat puzzled by the change in the course of the narrative. If the first two films were a gloomy tale, then the third, without hesitation, acted in the comedy genre on the verge of absurdity. This innovative approach, films are largely due to a New Zealand director named Taika Vaitichi. He is known for having made a comedy "Real Ghouls" with his friends. The story of the three ancient vampires living in modern Wellington, made for a penny, fell in love with the audience. Nevertheless, one can only envy the fortresses of the nervous system of the Marvel producers, who decided to entrust to a person with such a questionable track record a high-budget blockbuster from the most popular franchise and did not fail. "Thor: Ragnarok" has collected at the box office significantly more previous parts, namely 850 million dollars. And now the talented Vaitity is involved in another extraordinary project. Taika will write a script and directs a film called "Jojojo Rabbit".

Taika Waititi

The film will take place during the Second World War. In the center of the plot is a ten-year-old German boy, who is brought up by his mother. His life is not easy: the kid does not have enough father, he is bored, and his mother does not understand him at all. To somehow make it easier to cope with adversity, the guy makes up an imaginary friend of Adolf Hitler, whom, incidentally, Taika himself will play.

Promise that the fictional Hitler will not be like the present, but will be stupid, charming and childishly naive. Piquancy in the plot adds an interesting twist: the boy finds out that his mother hides a Jewish girl in the house. Scarlett Johansson has already signed the role of mother. So far, no one knows who will play Sam Rockwell, recently embraced an Oscar for his work in the "Three Billboards." In general, an interesting film for analysis is planned.

Bohemian Rhapsody

The other day, the intriguing trailer of the upcoming film about the Queen band got to the net in a good way, where Rami Malek played the role of Freddie Marcoury. Initially, the role claimed the role of the famous wit Sasha Baron Cohen, but did not work. They say, in addition to the creative differences of the producers, Sashino was embarrassed by the role of the clown with jokes below the belt, and it's a pity that it did not happen. There is an opinion that Sasha Freddie would have got it right.

Spy

Netflix is preparing to launch a six-series project "Spy", where the above mentioned Sasha will play the role of the legendary Israeli intelligence officer Eli Cohen. In the early sixties, Eli was incredibly successful in joining Syria's high-ranking circles, where, thanks to his connections and position, he successfully merged various Moslem secrets, strategic plans for the seizure of Israeli territories, the location of fortifications on the Israeli-Syrian border, and information about supplying the Syrians with Soviet military equipment. It is true that in 1965 Eli was arrested right at home, during a spy radio session, after which he was convicted and publicly hung in Damascus Square. Here in this unusual role Sasha Baron Cohen will perform. Time will tell if Sasha knows how drama.
