Jeff Goldblum returns to Jurassic Park, Unbreakable/Split sequel announced, Mad Max sequels and more – Daily News Roundup

April 27, 2017 by Luke Owen

MORE MAX

With the great critical success of Mad Max: Fury Road, it came as no surprise that there was a lot of talk of more adventures from George Miller’s universe. However, since then, we’ve not heard much else. In a recent interview Miller has revealed that there are plans in place for a trilogy saying, “We dug down deep into the subtext, the backstory of all the characters, and indeed the world…and without really thinking about it, we wrote two other screenplays just as part of the bible of the stories. Somewhere, if the planets align, there will be two other films.” Read more here.

UNBREAKABLE SPLIT

Director M. Night Shyamalan has unveiled his sequel to Unbreakable, which will also serve a follow up to his latest flick Split which was released earlier this year. Not only will James McAvoy will be reprising his role, but Glass will also see the return of Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Read more here.

GUARDIANS OF THE BOX OFFICE

Although the film won’t hit cinemas in the States for another week, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 [read our review here] sees its international release in 37 markets this weekend. We’ve already heard that the film is tracking a domestic opening of around $160 million, and now comes word that the James Gunn-directed sequel is looking at between $85 million and $100 million from its international opening this weekend. For comparison, the original Guardians of the Galaxy grossed $67.4 million back in August 2014, from 42 markets.

GUARDIANS OF THE CAMEOS

LIFE FOUND A WAY

With Jurassic World 2/Jurassic Park 5 in active development, news broke yesterday that original star Jeff Goldblum will be returning to the franchise in the role of Ian Malcolm. Goldblum hasn’t been seen in the series since The Lost World: Jurassic Park, although his book did have a small Easter egg cameo in Jurassic World. Read more here.

R.I.P. Jonathan Demme (1944 – 2017)

Some sad from yesterday, as it was announced that Oscar-winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme has passed away aged 73, after battling cancer and heart disease. Read more here.

THE FUTURE OF ANTHOLOGY

Kathleen Kennedy revealed recently that the next Star Wars Story movie would be announced this summer, and in a new interview has said that the fans will determine what we see next. “To be honest, we are beginning to talk about [the spin-offs] right now,” she said. “We have four or five weeks immersed in Han Solo and we are about to read the script for Colin Trevorrow’s Episode IX, so we have a lot of work at the moment. In the next six or eight months we will have some meetings about the stories that we will develop here. After 40 years of adventures, fans have so much information and so many theories about the way that can take these stories and theories that emerge are sometimes new ideas for us that we hear, read and pay attention to everything what is said. It is clear that the franchise is owned by the as much by the fans as it’s owned by [the people at Lucasfilm].” Read more here.
