On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Monday, April 2nd, 2018) Mark Ellis, Perri Nemiroff, Jon Schnepp, John Rocha discuss the following:
1) ‘New Mutants’ Reshoots to Bring Film Back to Straight Horror
2) Colin Trevorrow Returning to Direct ‘Jurassic World 3’
3) Box Office Report
4) 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Box Office Tracking for $150 Million Opening
5) Kate McKinnon in Talks to Star in Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis’ Untitled Comedy
6) Live Twitter Questions
Jeff Sneider at The Tracking Board dropped a detailed report about what’s happening with the new reshoots for The New Mutants. According to Sneider, the original pitch for The New Mutants was straight horror, but when it came time to make the film, Fox was reluctant and had a whole squadron of writers tweak the script to tone it down and target a PG-13 rating.
Steven Spielberg was speaking with EW and revealed to the trade/magazine that Colin Trevorrow will return to helm the third chapter in the Jurassic World franchise. Trevorrow has been involved with most every aspect of the franchise, including co-writing the script to the sequel, Fallen Kingdom, with Derek Connolly, and serves as a hands-on producer and now will return to finish what he started with Jurassic World 3 on track to hit theaters on June 11, 2021.
Ready Player One took the top spot at the box office - delivering an estimated $53.2 million four-day after debuting on Thursday, and $41.2 million over three days. Overseas it brought in some $128 million, suggesting that even when the domestic audiences start tapering off for Ready Player One, the foreign audiences could make the Warner Bros. adventure a massive hit.
According to BoxOffice.com early tracking for Solo: A Star Wars Story indicates that the movie is on track to make $150 million on its opening weekend. With just five months passing between Star Wars films, and the divisive nature of The Last Jedi, it looked as though fans were starting to get tired of the galaxy far, far away.
According to Variety, Saturday Night Live standout Kate McKinnon is in negotiations to join the cast of Universal and Working Title’s untitled comedy from director Danny Boyle and scribe Richard Curtis.
