    Drew Goddard is surprisingly set to write and direct a new installment of The Matrix:

    20 years after Three Extremes, Park-Chan Wook and Lee-Byung Hun are reuniting for The Ax.

    https://thefilmstage.com/park-chan-wook-lines-up-next-film-the-ax-with-lee-byung-hun-and-son-ye-jin-attached/

    It’s an adaptation he’s been developing since the early 2010s, that of Donald E. Westlake’s 1997 novel The Ax, which the legendary Costa-Gavras first adapted in 2005. The black comedy thriller follows a chemist, who loses his job to outsourcing. Two years later and still jobless, he hits on a solution: to genuinely eliminate his competition.

    Surprising since Resurrections totally bombed. However, the whole duel theater/streaming thing definitely lower box office. I saw it opening weekend and I was the only one in the theater. Question would be do they continue the existing storyline, set something in the 60 year period between 3 and 4 or a prequel that showed the machines rise to power and previous iterations of the One.

    Yeah those earlier pandemic days mixed with bad word of mouth certainly didn't help its prospects. I didn't even bother going to the cinemas for it, and inevitably wound up happy to have not wasted my money.

    From the article, it sounds to me like he has a new vision that excited them so much that they opted to swiftly move forward with allowing him to write and direct whatever it is, which in turn has me feeling optimistic. I hope it's good. I honestly think at this point they should shift away from the legacy stuff and just do another iteration of the simulation that doesn't have any overt callbacks.

    I didn't hate it when i saw it but it definitely wasn't something I would have done with a 4th movie. The more I watched, it became very frustrating. It just lacked so much.

    It had some initially intriguing ideas - the whole idea of him making a video game out of his memories was a pretty unique touch - but the execution was dreadful and it was sorely missing the personalities of Weaving's Agent Smith and Fishburne's Morpheus.

    Still, I might've been able to forgive all of that if they wowed audiences even 50% of the way the Wachowskis did with the initial trilogy. It wasn't even close, sporting all the fetid hallmarks of bad choreography and lazy editing, whether it was the quick cuts or constant close-ups.

    The opening scene was the only action scene that even sniffed the action and choreography of the original film. I liked the idea of him being pumped with blue pills to suppress his memories and the reasoning they kept Neo alive.

    It suggests he'd do this after Dune: Messiah, but Denis himself has said he only wants to do it if he's sure he can make a film even better than Part Two, so I'll be eager to see what he actually winds up lining up as his next film.

    Yeah this script will take a while to adapt, so this isn’t going to be his next feature.

    He has another “secret project” that “needs to see the light of day” first… I guess if that doesn’t happen soon, he may pivot back to D3(?)…

    I think you're spot on with that final point there. Hopefully we get some definitive movement on his next project by the end of the year at least.

    I’m hoping that Pixar continues their greatness with Toy Story. Toy Story is like the first four Bond movies, in terms of quality.

    MaXXXine Trailer #1 (2024)

    X was pretty good, I still need to watch Pearl.

    X was pretty good, I still need to watch Pearl.

    It's an entirely different beast but retains the same inherent themes and style - and yes, still a handful of death. It's got one of the more uncharacteristic horror finales I've ever seen with a powerful monologue to boot. Try not to expect a nudity-soaked and gory slasher and I think you'll have fun with it.

    Can only find Pearl on one movie streaming service, tempted to subscribe the X franchise is interesting, I believe Pearl is a prequel to X?

    It is, but you get a much better understanding of the setup after seeing X, which is nice, whereas MaXXXine takes place some months after X.

    After the production hell of Apocalypse Now, Coppola is no stranger to this. He’ll find a way.

    No surprise there. I'm surprised any of them expected this could turn around and be some box office behemoth.

    Miramax, Working Title

    Oscar winner Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson are all set to return for “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” at Universal Pictures and Working Title.

    This fourth feature in the “Bridget Jones” franchise will once again adapt the best-selling novel by Helen Fielding and follows on from 2001’s “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby”.

    Michael Morris (“To Leslie,” “Better Call Saul”) is set to direct the project which will also see franchise newcomers Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall join the cast.

    Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Jo Wallett will produce and Miramax is co-financing. The three prior films have raked in more than $760 million at the worldwide box office.

    “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” will debut in cinemas internationally and on Peacock in the U.S. on Valentine’s Day 2025.

    Transformers” & “G.I. Joe” Crossover Set
    By Garth FranklinThursday, April 11th 2024 2:07 pm

    Paramount PIctures, Epic & Hasbro
    Last Summer’s “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” hinted at it, and now Paramount Pictures is making it official – the G.I. Joes and the Autobots are doing a team-up movie which is being set up at the studio.

    The idea is based on a storyline from the 1980s Marvel-published comics inspired by the toyline. No filmmaker is attached yet beyond Steven Spielberg who is executive producing the film.

    Producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto & Don Murphy are all returning.

    The two properties have previously existed as independent franchises, with seven live-action “Transformers” and three “G.I. Joe” films to date.

    The announcement took place at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this morning where the first footage from the upcoming animated feature “Transformers One” was also shown off.

    Will it be Bumblebee (Transformers 6) prequel who is if iam correct set in 1987. Last movie is set in 1994 and 2001.

    I'm excited. The Chris Farley Show was really a strong book. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    This somehow wasn't at all what I was expecting, looks more like a cheap romcom than the enticing drama/thriller I envisioned. Oh well.

    Anyone else see about Scorsese wanting to make a Frank Sinatra biopic with DiCaprio as the star? I really hope it works out!
