Richard Linklater to Direct THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

Boyhood is surprisingly close to reaching $40 million worldwide to go along with the waves of acclaim for director Richard Linklater. It was recently learned that Linklater plans to capitalize on this buzz to pursue That’s What I’m Talking About, a spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused that Linklater has wanted to make for years. Now he’ll get the chance: Deadline reports Annapurna Pictures has signed on to finance That’s What I’m Talking About. Paramount will release the movie in North America. Annapurna International will sell the foreign rights.

The movie is related tonally to Linklater’s classic Dazed & Confused but whereas that movie was based on Linklater’s 1970s high school life, Talking About is based on his own college experiences in the 1980s. The movie centers on freshmen – played by Blake Jenner, Tyler Hoechlin, Wyatt Russell, among others - who work their way through the first year of college life, as they try to make the baseball team. The movie begins production soon and is the project for which Linklater dropped the big studio special effects-filled tentpole The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2 Get New Director and Stars!

MNN Exclusive: It was only a few hours ago that it was reported that Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) won't be returning to direct Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2. But in an unexpected twist of events, the Coen Brothers have now signed on to direct the action fantasy sequel with Michael Fassbender and Emily Blunt in final negotiations to replace Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular siblings.

3-time Academy Award winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis has also signed on to play the sibling's mentor. Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton are in final talks to play the powerful witch sisters, the main antagonists of the sequel. Though his role is still unknown, Javier Bardem is also on board but stipulates in his contract that his character has to have wacky hair. Judy Greer is set to play a troll via motion capture performance. Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix will have cameo roles as well.

Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze are set to pen the script. According to MNN sources, Paramount has already given the greenlight for three more installments of Hansel & Gretel and are in serious talks with a few directors to helm the sequels. If the deal pushes through, the plan is for Ang Lee to direct Part 3, Quentin Tarantino Part 4 and Martin Scorsese Part 5.

Can't believe this got me as long as it did.

First Trailer for TAK3N Starring Liam Neeson, Forest Whitaker

At the end of Taken 2, it seemed like Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) was on the path of getting back together with his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) and giving his daughter (Maggie Grace) the love he always wanted her to have. But in the first trailer for Taken 3 (or Tak3n if you want to be clever), we see that all that is cut short when Mills is framed for the murder of his ex-wife and is forced to go on the run from the law. Sadly, this time his special set of skills have him looking much more suspicious than heroic as he tries to prove his innocence and find out who is responsible for this tragedy. Taken 3 is directed by Olivier Megaton (Taken 2) and written by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, The Professional) and Robert Mark Kamen (The Transporter franchise).

Synopsis: Ex-covert operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) has his reconciliation with his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered. Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time, Mills must use his

2nd Trailer for Ridley Scott's Epic EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS

20th Century Fox has released the second trailer for director Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings. The film stars Christian Bale as the biblical figure Moses who rises up against the Egyptian Pharoah Ramesses (Joel Edgerton) to free 400,000 slaves. The director's large-scale epic follows Moses as he leads the slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its cycle of deadly plagues. The Gladiator director has opted to shoot the action in 3D, using state-of-the-art visual effects.

Although Exodus has one foot firmly planted in history, there's also a stylish supernatural element to the story and fans are likely to get a kick out of Scott's take on the ten plagues. One scene in particularly made use of hundreds and hundreds of frogs and offers a taste of Scott in horror-movie mode.

Bale and Edgerton star alongside Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley and Aaron Paul, who recently won an Emmy for his role of Jesse Pinkman in TV drama Breaking Bad. John Turturro and Game of Thrones actress Indira Varma round out the cast. The screenplay was written by Steven Zaillian (Gangs of New York, Moneyball), who won an Oscar for Schindler's List in 1994. Exodus: Gods and Kings opens December 5, 2014.
