"Men
in Black 4" News
Screenwriter Oren Uziel has been hired by Sony to
write a script for "Men In Black 4." No
other details are available on the direction of
the film, but it would presumably star Will Smith
and Tommy Lee Jones once again. Sony hopes that
a fourth installment of the mega-franchise will
arrive sooner than the third film, which was released
a decade after its predecessor.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed
all three "Men In Black" films, said "We'll
see. It would have to be in outer space. Emma Thompson,
who played the head of MIB in the third film, could
have a larger role in part four.I think the reason
to do a sequel would be to have Emma in the movie
more, She's only in the first act of 'Men in Black
3' but she's just fantastic."
"Men in Black 3" grossed
just $179 million at the North American box office,
but the film was a smash hit overseas earning $445
million at the international box office, more than
the first two films managed at the time of their
release.
Jessica
Biel Signed for "Wolverine 2"
Jessica Biel Biel has officially been cast as Victoria/Viper
in Wolverine 2, which the site describes as a “juicy
role.” Biel has been approached
to play Viper/Madame Hydra in Wolverine 2. The villain
blackmailed Logan into marrying her at one point
in the comics, and worked alongside the Silver Samurai.
Previous reports indicated that Viper plays a “newly-expanded”
role in the film, and serves as the Japanese Minister
of Justice’s secretary – though, it’s
not clear exactly which elements from her comic
book backstory will be carried over.
"Jurassic
Park 4" News
The fourth entry in the Jurassic Park film series
is set to be released on June 13, 2014. The current
title is "Jurassic Park IV: The Extinction".
Director Colin Trevorrow has tweeted a scouting image
that indicates that ‘Jurassic Park 4' will be
returning to the island from the first film. Rumor
is that the film will put a new dinosaur on center
stage. No story or cast have been announced as yet.
Disney
Plans "Pirates" 5 and 6
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp have turned
their attention toward setting sail on fifth and sixth
installments underway of Pirates Of The Caribbean
to be shot back to back. Brunkheimer also has plans
for National Treasure 3 and Bad Boys 3. At the beginning
of the year, Terry Rossi’s script was rewritten
by Jeff Nathanson so now Disney has several names
on a shortlist to direct the film due out for July
2015
"Promethius
2" Coming
With surviving Prometheus members David (Michael
Fassbender) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) are
both locked in for a sequel, Damon Lindelof (who co-wrote
the script with newcomer Jon Spaihts) is not as certain
to return. Fox hopes to have the continuiing prequel
to Alien ready for 2015. Ridley Scott intends to carry
on the central narrative thread left dangling by the
ending of Prometheus with a sequel – rather
than concern himself primarily with filling in lingering
holes in the tapestry that links Prometheus to Alien.
It may be possible the followup could accomplish both
tasks.
