First Trailer for Neill Blomkamp's ELYSIUM Starring Matt Damon
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Neill Blomkamp's highly-anticipated sci-fi thriller Elysium. The story takes place in 2159 where two classes of people are roughly divided: the wealthy live on a man-made space station called Elysium, while the rest of the humans inhabit an overpopulated and ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn

Fan-Made Poster for LUKE CAGE Starring Dwayne Johnson
Here's a cool fan-made poster of a fake Luke Cage movie starring Dwayne Johnson that managed to fool a few people during April Fools' Day. The poster is pretty good and I like the costume design which successfully captures the character's Thunderbolt outfit. But I wished they made Johnson a bit bigger.
Nice. I can see it. What's even better is that the Rock is back on the juice. He is way more muscular now than in this pic.

It doesn't work like that. You just end up with more mods being banned.
Check out my Superhero Fantasy Casting Volume 4: Black Panther for my casting choices.
At least it will sound better.

Disney Acquires Rights to Larry Brenner’s Pitch, LABYRINTH
Walt Disney Pictures has obtained the rights to Labyrinth after a pitch from 2011’s Black List writer Larry Brenner. According to Deadline, the action-adventure film, produced by Jim Whitaker (American Gangster), tells the story of a mythical princess’ journey to save her father by trekking through the dangerous and elaborate labyrinth. Sound familiar? That’s because the premise is very similar to Jim Henson’s 1986 film by the same name, although there’s no relation.
Brenner is a newly discovered screenwriter who go his start after being a finalist on Final Draft’s Big Break Screenwriting Contest in 2011. His screenplay for Bethlehem – a story about a group of survivors who makes a deal with a vampire in exchange for protection during a zombie apocalypse – landed him on The Black List that same year. Universal Pictures later acquired the rights to the project and it’s currently in development.

Jim Carrey to Star in Steve Oedekerk's Comedy RICKY STANICKY
Jim Carrey is set to breathe new life into Summit’s long-developing comedy Ricky Stanicky. The film was initially written by Jeff Bushell (Beverly Hills Chihuahua) and begins when three teens pull a prank by burning down a house in their neighborhood. The kids create a fake person to take the blame—“Ricky Stanicky”—and 20 years later are still using the alibi to get out of every uncomfortable situation. When their wives finally force them to set up a meeting with Stanicky, they hire an actor to inhabit the personality. Steve Oedekerk (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) recently came onboard to re-write and direct the film, and the ensemble comedy is said to be in the same R-rated vein as The Hangover.
James Franco was previously attached to play the Stanicky role in 2010 and Joaquin Phoenix subsequently circled the part, but now THR reports that Carrey has signed on to lead the pic. Michael De Luca and Smart Entertainment’s John Jacobs are producing, and filming on the pic is looking to begin this summer. Oedekirk has a long history with Carrey, as he served as a writer on the sketch comedy series In Living Color before penning films like Bruce Almighty and Patch Adams.

Screenwriter Max Landis Gives an Update on CHRONICLE Sequel
Max Landis: “Chronicle 2 is in an interesting place right now. It’s moving along. There was this whole announcement that they wanted to just do the same thing again because my father said that. My father is not involved in Chronicle 2. He doesn’t know the process, it was not his place to say that. The truth is when you have a movie that was as successful as Chronicle was, it’s not as quick of a process. There are a lot more voices coming in and saying ‘This is what the sequel should be’ because there’s a bigger expectation and a bigger fear of failure. And that’s really what’s going on with Chronicle 2.”
“Josh [Trank] is directing Fantastic Four. I’m doing a hundred other movies. Chronicle 2 has become this question of ‘How do we all make a movie that we all respect?’. and that’s true to what Chronicle is. There’s no one at the studio who wants to make a bad movie. They all want to make a good movie just as much as I do. We’re not fighting.”
“The report came out that they didn’t like my script. They liked my script. It’s just a really dark script. The question is more of ‘How do we all compromise to get something we want?’. And that’s an incredibly slow process.”

Will Forte Gives an Update on MACGRUBER Sequel
MacGruber has had an interesting journey from an easily dismissed adaptation to box office flop to cult hit. It continues to rack up devotees who happily quote it and know what “KFBR392″ means. But despite these fans, MacGruber 2 looks highly unlikely. Last June, star and co-writer Will Forte said he didn’t think any sane person would fund it, but he added that they were definitely writing the script within the next six months. Forte recently provided an update while doing press for his upcoming drama, Run and Jump. Forte tells EW:
“We are going to make MacGruber 2 for sure. Whether we have to do it with a video camera in our backyards – there will be some form of MacGruber 2.”
“Jorma [Taccone], the MacGruber director, he had the idea to do a Kickstarter like two years ago. He kept saying ‘We should do a Kickstarter’ and we were like ‘Yeah, maybe at some point.’ He’s always ahead of the curve. That’s the lesson you learn — always listen to Jorma.”

Georges St-Pierre Talks About Batroc Role for CAPTAIN AMERICA 2
Yesterday, Marvel Studios announced it has begun production on Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The press release gave us the first official image from the sequel as well as a short plot synopsis that revealed the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) will have a major role. It also confirmed that Georges St-Pierre is set to play a villain, Georges Batroc, a.k.a. Batroc the Leaper. In an interview with SportsNet, the UFC Welterweight Champion talks about his physical appearance for the role and how long he'll take part in filming (transcript via CBM):
“They asked me to let my hair grow to play a villain. I also let my [facial] hair grow; it took me a month to grow this. I don't know [how long the movie is filming], but I'll be in LA for a week. It's my first experience, so it'll be fun and I'm excited. For this kind of thing, I'm not nervous.”

Michael Jai White is too much of a direct to DVD actor, I can't see a big studio getting behind him to star in a big budget film.
