Pirates of the Caribbean 6
In conversation with The Sunday Times, Jerry Bruckheimer revealed Disney is indeed courting Margot Robbie to star in a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
We’re talking to Margot Robbie. We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without.
Rebel Moon
Due to scheduling conflicts, Deadline reports Ed Skrein has replaced Rupert Friend in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. Additionally, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee and Rhian Rees have joined the cast in undisclosed roles.
The Shrinking of Treehorn
According to the latest issue of The Ankler (via Comic Book), Ron Howard is attached to direct an animated musical based on Florence Parry Heide and Edward Gorey’s 1971 children’s book, The Shrinking of Treehorn. Based on a script by Rob Lieber, the story follows “a young boy who starts shrinking” around the holidays in New York City, even though “his parents barely seem to notice” the metamorphosis unfold.
Consumed
During a recent interview with Variety, David Cronenberg revealed the planned TV series based on his own 2015 novel, Consumed, will now be a film at Netflix.
I tried and we got to two episodes, and then [Netflix] decided not to do it. And I was disappointed because I was interested in streaming in cinematic terms. I thought that would be a very interesting experience for me as a writer, as a creator, and then also as a director. And maybe I’ll have that experience one day…
So the project that I was talking to Netflix about, it will be feature film instead. I don’t have a screenplay yet for that but I will be writing that.
I think my feeling is I really was very interested in the whole Netflix streaming phenomenon, definitely. But I think that they’re still very conservative. I mean, I think they’re still like a Hollywood studio. I thought maybe they would be different. The difference is that Netflix can show very interesting streaming series from Korea, from Finland, and they say it’s a Netflix original, but it isn’t really — it’s something they have acquired. But I think when it comes to their actual production that they do themselves, they’re very conservative. I think they think in mainstream terms, that’s my experience with them anyway.
