Jeff Bridges is going back to the grid.
The 74-year-old actor told the Film Comment podcast (via The Playlist) that he is going to appear in “Tron: Ares,” the third film in the long-running sci-fi franchise that Bridges inaugurated with “Tron” in 1982 and reprised with “Tron: Legacy” in 2010. The new film stars Jared Leto as the titular character Ares, with Joachim Rønning (“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”) directing from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne.
“I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the ‘Tron’ story,” Bridges said. “Jared Leto is the star of this third one. I’m really anxious to work with him. I’ve admired his work.”
“Tron” is best known for pioneering the use of computer generated imagery, which was used to create the digital world of a video game after Bridges’ character, Kevin Flynn, is zapped inside one.

Disney took another step in the ongoing circle of life for The Lion King today, releasing the first full trailer of director Jon Favreau’s remarkably realistic “live action” take on the great 1994 traditionally animated film.
“Life’s not fair, is it, my little friend?,” says that dastardly lion Scar, surely one of Disney’s most memorable villains here voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor. “While some are born to feast, others spend their life in the dark, begging for scraps.” From there we get what amounts to a tour of the savanna, computer-populated with all manner of four-legged characters – lions, giraffes, hyenas, birds, bugs and the old baboon Rafiki.
The trailer confirms that Favreau’s Lion King will follow the story we all know – little Simba is sent into exile by uncle Scar after the death of father/king Mufasa. There’s the father and son surveying their kingdom, the stampede and,...

Director Jon Favreau has assembled quite an incredible cast of actors for Disney's realistic CGI animated remake of The Lion King. Most of the actors on the list we've already known about, but the one big confirmation is that Beyonce will officially be providing the voice of Nala. Here's the synopsis that was released:
From Disney Live Action, director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival.

Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures have released the first photo of Scarlett Johansson as Major in their co-production live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. Shooting has started in Wellington, New Zealand, and the press release came with this official synopsis:
Based on the internationally-acclaimed sci-fi property, “Ghost In The Shell” follows the Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic’s advancements in cyber technology.
I've never read the original manga series or seen the anime feature, so I'm going into this one with very little context. Hopefully director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and The Huntsman) will focus more heavily on the story this time around; I'm still interested in seeing him put his visual skills to good use,...

Despite reports to the contrary, Rupert Sanders’ live-action Ghost in the Shell movie remains on course for its March 2017 bow, but rather than Disney helping to shepherd the long-awaited manga adaptation to the big screen, Variety writes that Paramount has now picked up the project and will co-finance.
Indeed, Sanders’ sci-fi picture isn’t the only feature to be affected by the new distribution deal, with fellow adaptation The Girl on the Train also set to be released through Paramount, which also keeps hold of its original release date of October 7, 2016.

Barely a week has passed since DreamWorks welcomed Game of Thrones newcomer Pilou Asbæk to the burgeoning cast of Ghost in the Shell, and Deadline is reporting that the studio has now turned its attention to Sam Riley for the film’s chief antagonist.
At this stage, the Maleficent star has merely opened negotiations to assume the role of The Laughing Man, a nefarious leader of an extremist group that wreaks terror through the streets of Niihama, the fictional city where the popular manga is based. Creating a special forces unit to tackle the threat head on, Hanka Robotics founds Public Security Section 9, an elite group of enhanced soldiers led by Scarlett Johansson’s badass cyborg, Motoko Kusanag.

Next year, Danish actor Pilou Asbæk will plot course for the mystical realm of Westeros for HBO’s Game of Thrones season 6 – as Euron Greyjoy, no less – revelling in all manner of political intrigue, familial disputes and unabashed fantasy. On the other end of the spectrum, though, will be DreamWorks Pictures’ long-gestating Ghost in the Shell movie, which today added Asbæk as the no-nonsense Batou.
That’s according to Variety, who reports that the actor will now star opposite Avengers alum Scarlett Johansson. She’s set to topline the live-action feature as Motoko Kusanagi, a highly-skilled cyborg ninja who cleans up the neon-drenched streets of Niihama on behalf of elite task force Section 9. Indeed, news of Asbæk joining the nascent production will mark a Lucy reunion on DreamWorks’ manga adaptation, and we’re excited to see how the pair’s chemistry will carry over into this most peculiar setting.

After amping up the prequel game with the outstanding blockbuster Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves has just signed on to direct something different at 20th Century Fox. THR reports that Reeves is set to direct an untitled bank heist thriller based on an original pitch by Matt Charman, the man behind Steven Spielberg's forthcoming Cold War spy thriller starring Tom Hanks. As of now plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is reaching high when it comes to heist thrillers as it's described as being in the same vein as Brian De Palma's Heat and the Al Pacino classic Dog Day Afternoon. Charman hatched the idea for the film with Matthew Plouffe, an executive at Tobey Maguire's Material production banner, and The Great Gatsby star will also be producing the film. Fox didn't jump at the film until it...

This year’s Blood List has named the 13 best genre scripts around town, and in its sixth year the annual screenplay contest is expanding its scope to include hot books, TV pilots, and young scribes ripe for signing. Taking top honors in 2014 is sci-fi thriller Bird Box from The Thing and Final Destination 5 scribe Eric Heisserer, an apocalyptic tale of a woman trying to lead her children to safety – all three blindfolded – after monsters descend on earth that turn people insane on sight. Universal set Heisserer to adapt the manuscript from Josh Malerman in 2013 for Mama helmer Andy Muschietti. Previous Blood List alumni include Black Swan, Stoker, Warm Bodies, and the upcoming Blumhouse thriller The Boy Next Door.
Like the Black List naming the top unproduced screenplays circulating around Hollywood, the genre-focused Blood List taps exec votes to determine each year’s best unmade horror, sci-fi, and thriller scripts.
