A post shared by Jeff Goldblum (@jeffgoldblum) on Oct 9, 2020 at 1:22pm PDT

When he hasn’t been hard at work shooting the third and final installment in the Jurassic World franchise, Dominion, Goldblum has been running a campaign on HeadCount.org to ensure fans are registered and prepared to vote in next month’s election and promised recently that should his campaign receive 1,00 votes, he would recreate an iconic moment of Dr. Ian Malcom from the original film.

Steven Spielberg and Colin Trevorrow return to executive produce Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s Dominion, with Trevorrow once again directing the next chapter in one of the biggest franchises in the history of cinema. Producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley once again partner with Spielberg and Trevorrow in leading the filmmakers for this installment.

Untitled David O. Russell Project Adds John David Washington

Untitled David O. Russell project adds John David Washington

David O. Russell’s forthcoming untitled project has found another major cast member in the form of Golden Globe-nominee John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman, Tenet), who joins an ensemble roster that already includes Oscar winner Christian Bale (Ford v. Ferrari), Oscar nominee Margot Robbie (I, Tonya) and Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station), according to Deadline.

Russell will write and direct the project, which teams him with Bale for the third time after the two joined forces on The Fighter (for which Bale won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor) and American Hustle. As he’s previously stated, project details are being kept under wraps, though sources report that the film is slated to begin production in Los Angeles this coming January.

Robbie was last seen in Birds of Prey, which opened at number one at the worldwide box office with $80 million and went on to gross over $200 million and garnered very positive reviews from critics. Robbie also recently featured in the Academy Award-nominated films Bombshell and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She also lends her voice talents to the upcoming Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, and is also gearing up for the release of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which is slated for an August 6 release.

Jordan becomes the third comic book genre vet to join the cast, having starred in the critically demolished Fantastic Four in 2015 and the massively acclaimed 2018 MCU installment Black Panther as antagonist Killmonger. He was most recently seen in the well-received legal biopic Just Mercy alongside Jamie Foxx (Baby Driver) and will next be seen in the Tom Clancy adaptation Without Remorse, which is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2021.

Colin Firth & Stanley Tucci-Led Supernova Acquired by Bleecker Street

Colin Firth & Stanley Tucci-led Supernova acquired by Bleecker Street

Shortly after the first official trailer for the sure-to-be-tearjerker drama debuted, the Colin Firth (Kingsman: The Golden Circle) and Stanley Tucci (Central Park, The Witches)-starring Supernova has been acquired by Bleecker Street for North American distribution, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In Supernova, It is deep Autumn and Sam and Tusker, partners of twenty years, are on holiday. They are travelling across England in their old campervan visiting friends, family and places from their past. Since Tusker was diagnosed with young-onset dementia two years ago their lives have had to change. Jobs have been given up and plans put on hold. Their time together is now the most important thing they have. As the trip progresses however, their individual ideas for their future begin to collide. Secrets are uncovered, private plans unravel and their love for each other is tested like never before. Ultimately, they must confront the question of what it means to love one another in the face of Tusker’s irreparable illness.

The film is being led by Oscar winner Firth (The King’s Speech) and Emmy winner Tucci (The Lovely Bones). It will also feature James Dreyfus, Pippa Haywood, and Sarah Woodward.

Supernova is written and directed by Harry Macqueen. It is produced by Tristan Goligher and Emily Morgan. The film made its world premiere in September at the 2020 San Sebastián International Film Festival to very positive reviews from critics and is slated for a November 27 release in the United Kingdom via StudioCanal UK, whilst currently left undated for its North American release.

Lionsgate Delays Release of Fatale & Voyagers to 2021

Lionsgate delays release of Fatale & Voyagers to 2021

As the global pandemic continues to keep theaters closed, Lionsgate is re-evaluating the release dates of two of its upcoming films as the Colin Farrell-led sci-fi drama Voyagers and Hilary Swank-starring thriller Fatale have both been delayed from their October and November 2020 releases to undated 2021 slots.

Fatale centers on a married man (Ealy) who finds himself living a nightmare as he is relentlessly compromised, out-witted and morally manipulated by a mysterious woman (Swank) with whom he had a wild one nightstand. How far will he go to save his marriage from his mistake?

Written and produced by David Loughery (The Intruder, Lakeview Terrace, Obsessed), the film is produced by Taylor’s Hidden Empire Film Group partner Roxanne Taylor and is executive produced by partner Robert F. Smith. Two-time Oscar nominee Dante Spinotti (L.A. Confidential, Heat) served as director of photography, marking his third collaboration with Taylor on Fatale.

Set in the near future, Voyagers chronicles the odyssey of 30 young men and women who are sent deep into space on a multi-generational mission in search of a new home. The mission descends into madness, as the crew reverts to its most primal state, not knowing if the real threat they face is what’s outside the ship or who they’re becoming inside it.

Starring Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One, X-Men: Apocalypse), Lily-Rose Depp (The Dancer, The King), Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch), Viveik Kalra (Blinded By The Light, Next of Kin, Beecham House), Quintessa Swindell (Euphoria), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Game of Thrones), Archie Madekwe (Les Misérables, Teen Spirit, Midsommar), Archie Renaux (Morbius), Chanté Adams (Roxanne Roxanne), and Colin Farrell (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Minority Report, Total Recall), the film is being described as Lord of the Flies for a new generation.

Production on the film began this week in Romania. Thunder Road’s Brendon Boyea is producing alongside Iwanyk and Burger, with Stuart Ford and AGC’s Head of Film Greg Shapiro onboard as executive producers.

AGC is fully financing the picture in partnership with AGC investors Fibonacci Films, Ingenious Media, and Aperture Media. Fibonacci’s Greg Clark and Victoria Hill also serve as executive producers. The film was a major seller at Berlin’s European Film Market earlier this year with amongst others Universal International acquiring a number of major territories.

The new dates for Fatale and Voyagers are set to be announced at a later date, though the studio has confirmed it is eyeing a first quarter 2021 release for the former film.

Russo Bros-Produced Actioner Mosul Acquired by Netflix

Russo Bros-produced actioner Mosul acquired by Netflix

After originally being set at 101 Studios last year, the Russo Brothers (Extraction, Avengers: Endgame)-produced action-thriller Mosul has been acquired by Netflix with plans to distribute the film worldwide in November, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, written and directed by Matthew Michael Carnahan (World War Z, 21 Bridges) in his feature directorial debut and inspired by Luke Mogelson’s 2017 New Yorker article “The Desperate Battle to Destroy Isis,” the film is based on the true story of one group of Iraqi men fought back against ISIS when the terrorist group took their titular home city and families. The film will focus on the Nineveh SWAT team, a renegade police unit who engaged in guerrilla warfare against the terrorist group in a desperate struggle to save the northern Iraq city, which was also the site to a number of major battles in the mid-2010s.

The cast for the film includes Suhail Dabbach (The Hurt Locker), Adam Bessa (Extraction) and Is’Haq Elias. The Avengers directing duo produced the film with Mike Larocca via their AGBO production banner alongside The New Yorker Studios (The Old Man and the Gun, Only the Brave).

Mosul marks the latest collaboration between the Russo Brothers and a streaming platform after they previously partnered with Netflix for the Chris Hemsworth-starring Extraction, which became the platform’s most-watched original film in their history, and the Tom Holland-starring crime drama Cherry, which was recently acquired by Apple TV+ for an early 2021 release

Executive producers on the film include Todd Mkurath, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely for AGBO alongside Mohamed Al-Daradii (Son of Babylon), Patrick Newall (Anon), Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Hu Junyi for Huayi.

Mosul, which made its world premiere at the 2019 Venice Film Festival and North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, is set to debut on Netflix in November 2020.

Joby Harold Developing Space Mountain Film at Disney

Joby Harold developing Space Mountain film at Disney

As the studio awaits to bring Jungle Cruise to audiences next summer following its pandemic-related delay, Disney is ready to expand its roster of film adaptations of theme park attractions with a Space Mountain film, which is set to be developed by Joby Harold (Army of the Dead), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Plot details are being kept close to the chest for the film, but it is being described as a “family adventure,” keeping very much in line with other adaptations of Disney attractions including the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and the forthcoming Dwayne Johnson (Black Adam) and Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place Part II)-starring feature.

In addition to penning the script for the film, Harold will produce the project with his producing partner and wife Tory Turnell via their Safehouse Pictures banner alongside Dan Lin and Jonathan Elrich’s Rideback, who helped produce the box office smash live-action remake of Aladdin.

Space Mountain first opened in Florida Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland park in 1975 and would make its way to the California’s Tomorrowland park in 1977, Tokyo’s Tomorrowland in 1983, Paris’ first in 1995 as De la Terre à la Lune before being rebranded as Hyperspace Mountain in 2017 and Hong Kong’s park first in 2005 as Space Mountain before the same renaming as Paris in 2016. The attraction has no story or characters akin to Pirates or The Haunted Mansion, but rather takes fans on a fast indoor ride through the stars, meaning Harold will need to craft a new story inspired by the ride.

In addition to creating the story for Zack Snyder’s zombie pic at Netflix, Harold is currently attached to write and executive produce Disney+’s upcoming Star Wars limited series centered on Obi-Wan Kenobi, which will see the return of Ewan McGregor to the role.

CS Interview: Mamoudou Athie on Welcome to the Blumhouse’s Black Box

BEGIN SLIDESHOW

CS Interview: Mamoudou Athie on Welcome to the Blumhouse’s Black Box

ComingSoon.net got the opportunity to chat with star Mamoudou Athie (Uncorked, Sorry for Your Loss) to discuss his role in one of the four films in Amazon Prime Video’s Welcome to the Blumhouse collection, Black Box, which is now available on the streaming platform! Click here to watch the sci-fi thriller!

When reflecting back on the reason for why he wanted to be a part of the project, the Get Down alum outright states that it was the opportunity to work with writer/director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr. in his feature debut, looking back on his first conversation with the filmmaker in which he came away thinking, “Oh yeah, I want to work with this guy.”

“I just felt a connection with him in terms of what he’s after and also the kind of person he is, so it was a no-brainer,” Athie expressed. “Not to mention the character and the script itself, I had never done anything like it. It was an entirely present process, Emmanuel was so prepared and so generous, much like Prentice [Penny, Uncorked writer/director]. I would say it’s a very different situation, though it was Prentice’s first feature he does showrun Insecure, he’s amazing at it, whereas I believe Emmanuel had only shot some shorts prior. It didn’t even feel like a leap of faith, though, when I spoke with him it was one of those things where it was like, ‘Oh yeah, we understand each other and we’re after the same thing, so whatever happens we’re aligned in our goals.’”

This collaborative relationship with Osei-Kuffour Jr. carried over into his work developing the character of Nolan for the screen, with Athie noting that the script was “really well-written” and included a number of “cues” and “hints” to help appropriately get him into character from scene to scene.

“You have ideas based on what people say about your character and what you say about yourself as the character and what you do,” Athie explained. “That informs exactly who I’m playing at the end of the day, then we get into more specifics with the imagination that is born of those facts and also having conversations with the director, ‘What is appropriate?’ Because there are some things that I did that just aren’t in the movie, I’ll tell you that much right now [laughs]. When you’re aligned it’s pretty easy going.”

To bring his character to life and explore the depths of terror he experiences as he fights to recover his memories to properly be with his daughter also proved to be one of the most creatively challenging for the 32-year-old star as he navigated the mindset of the role.

“Sorting out how this person goes — I’m trying to avoid spoilers [chuckles] — how this person goes through the world did require a certain amount of really careful consideration throughout,” Athie recalled. “When you have a good director who’s helping you stay within the parameters that you have set for yourself, it becomes an easier task, it was one of those things that happened organically through conversation after conversation until we were like, ‘Okay, now we get it.’”

One of the brightest elements of the project for the star came in the form of working with the young Amanda Christine, who portrays his daughter Ava in the film, who he calls “the star” and describes her as “fantastic” and found himself amazed at her work on the set.

“I could not believe, even like on the first day of filming, that she was so available to the degree that she was and just like skillful beyond her years, she’s incredible with that one,” Athie brightly described. “I just remembered there was this one scene where I had to yell at her, it wasn’t my favorite to scene to get to yell at Amanda, but like I was impressed at what she was able to bring out of me, I was like, ‘Whoa.’ I thought that had to be self-generated because she’s like such an incredible actor, we had a phrase we used in the school I went to that when you’re being a good scene partner you’re throwing the ball to your scene partner, and she threw it to me in such a way that you just can’t help but to respond in other kinds of ways, like, ‘Wow, she’s a fantastic young actor.’”

Having come from his work with Netflix on the Baz Luhrmann co-created musical drama and Facebook Watch for the Elizabeth Olsen-starring drama, Athie didn’t really notice much difference working with Amazon for the film, noting it was more a “Blumhouse production” than “strictly an Amazon set.”

“My head was kind of in the sand, so I didn’t really pay attention to that kind of thing, I was just worried about what I had to do, which was shoot this movie and in 19 days, so there was really no time for musings about anything else but what we were doing,” Athie laughed. “I’m glad people are going to have an opportunity to watch it, I’m really excited for the release, I’m excited for Emmanuel in particular, the more people that see it the better, I hope it does great!”

Written and directed by Osei-Kuffour Jr. in his feature debut, the film follows single father Nolan who is recovering from a car accident that took his wife as well as his memory and chooses to undergo an agonizing experimental treatment that causes him to question who he really is.

The films showcase exciting up-and-coming talent, alongside established actors in exceptional and shocking new roles. Welcome to the Blumhouse will launch in October, timed for the Halloween season, on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Amazon Prime Video will launch the initial slate of four films as double features starting with The Lie directed by acclaimed writer/director Veena Sud (The Killing, 7 Seconds) and Black Box directed by up-and-coming writer/director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr. (Born with It), both premiering on October 6. Launching the following week on October 13 is Evil Eye, from talented young directors Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani (A Day’s Work, Jinn) and executive produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico, White Tiger), and Nocturne written and directed by filmmaker Zu Quirke (Zugzwang, Ghosting) making her feature film debut. The latter four films will launch in 2021.

Stuck inside? Don’t know what to watch/read/play/listen to? ComingSoon.net has got you covered. In this week’s CS Recommends our staff kicks off gives you solid tips on the best media to consume during your downtime, including The Keep and more! Check out our picks below!

MAX EVRY’S RECOMMEND: The Keep

Click here to purchase The Keep audiobook!

Click here to purchase 1983’s The Keep movie directed by Michael Mann!

My favorite film by Michael Mann is his least favorite, the one he has used his considerable pull in Hollywood to try to keep (pun intended) off of Blu-ray and streaming services: 1983’s The Keep. This gothic World War II horror tale concerns Nazis who occupy a Romanian castle that was already occupied by a centuries-old spectral being named Molasar. German soldiers start getting offed, and a brutal SS officer (Gabriel Byrne) is brought in to investigate. The sprawling story weaves in a Jewish scholar (Ian McKellan), a sympathetic non-Nazi German Army Captain (Jürgen Prochnow), and a supernatural warrior called Glaeken (Scott Glenn). To say this movie is bats**t insane is a towering understatement. It’s also famously a mess due to studio interference that rendered some dialogue unintelligible, and scenes edited to the point of incoherence (it was cut from 210 minutes to 96 minutes without Mann’s input). The special effects man also died during production, leaving Mann to scrap many of the big sequences he had planned. It’s a shame, because what remains is an atmospheric wonder, with powerful imagery and a truly memorable golem-like villain, not to mention an exquisite Tangerine Dream score.

I love the film so much I recently took the time to read F. Paul Wilson’s original novel, which is actually only the first part in a multi-book saga called “The Adversary Cycle.” The labyrinthine plot involves false vampirism and the looming threat of concentration camps sweeping through Europe. It deftly combines real-life historical horrors with mythic fantasy elements that lead to nothing less than a confrontation between the forces of light and darkness in the purest sense. It’s also interesting that the character Scott Glenn plays in the film goes by the name “Glen” in the book!

Amazon currently has a low-quality version of The Keep available for purchase, but be warned that the picture and sound quality are dreadful. Still, it’s enough to give you a sense of the vibe Mann was trying to create, and is as close as we’ll get to being able to experience the film until Mann and Paramount relent in releasing a restored version of the already-compromised final product. Having seen a print of the film in a rep theater, I can say it was meant to be experienced in all its horrific splendor! Give the film a go if you’ve never seen it and want to experience a truly wild visionary horror epic, and then if you want to make sense of the plot check out the novel!

KYLIE HEMMERT’S RECOMMEND: 30 Days of Night

Click here to purchase the 30 Days of Night movie!

Click here to purchase the 30 Days of Night Omnibus paperback!

David Slade’s 30 Days of Night debuted in 2007 and still, in my humble opinion, holds up as one of the best vampire horror thrillers to date. Produced by Sam Raimi, the movie is based on the comic book miniseries by Steve Niles, who co-wrote the screenplay, and Ben Templesmith and takes place in a small Alaskan town that enters a thirty-day-long polar night and is quickly overrun by a group of brutal and relentless vampires who take advantage of the prolonged darkness to openly kill and feed upon the townspeople. The adaptation is led by Josh Hartnett alongside Melissa George, Danny Huston, and Ben Foster, and is a genuinely terrifying, smart, and bloody tale about survival, sacrifice, and a seemingly unending nightmare.

GRANT HERMANNS’ RECOMMEND: The Wolf of Snow Hollow

Click here to purchase!

The werewolf genre generally sees audiences treated to a generic hunt for the titular beast or a focus on the person suffering from the lycanthropic affliction, but Jim Cummings’s The Wolf of Snow Hollow has offered one of the freshest and most entertaining takes on the genre thus far. Acting as a whodunnit in a small snowy town that rarely sees homicides occur, the film presents a fairly intriguing mystery and guessing game as to who’s committing the murders and whether it’s an actual supernatural monster or a disturbed human while also focusing on the offbeat and hilarious officers of the Sheriff Department, especially Cummings’ anger-prone recovering alcoholic deputy. It’s beautifully shot, thrillingly crafted, hilariously written, and brilliantly performed by its whole cast, namely Cummings, Rikki Lindhome, and Robert Forster in his final feature film role, establishing itself as a Halloween must-watch for the ages.

MAGGIE DELA PAZ’S RECOMMEND: Tragedy Girls

Click here to purchase!

Starring Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp, the film centers around two high school seniors and childhood best friends named Sadie and McKayla, who are both obsessed with becoming social media famous through their titular true crime blog. However, it proves to be difficult for them when there is actually little to no action going on in their boring Mid-western town of Rosedale. That’s why they have no choice but to take matters into their own hands by committing and planning the murders themselves while also managing to keep a serial killer in captivity.

This 2016 slasher dark comedy film was truly a delight to watch. It features a fun and entertaining storyline that is topped off by the incredible and charming performances of Hildebrand and Shipp. Despite being a duo of psychopathic protagonists, it’s extremely hard not to root for their characters, especially when their brutal killing plans don’t always go as smoothly as they’ve wanted them to be. These types of leads are definitely hard to sell to the audience but due to Hildebrand and Shipp’s dynamic chemistry, the film was able to effectively deliver the story and message they intended to convey.

What I also like the most about Tragedy Girls is that it serves as a timely social commentary about the effects of fame and social media to today’s society: How some people nowadays would just post anything that would garner them the most likes, views, and followers without even trying to be thoughtful of its real message and consequences. So, if you’re looking for something to add on your Halloween movie list, I highly recommend you check out this gem!

JEFF AMES’ RECOMMEND: Trick ‘r Treat

Click here to purchase!

Despite a substantial amount of slasher flicks and monster films at our disposal, there really is a lack of what one might call true Halloween films outside of, say, Hocus Pocus, John Carpenter’s Halloween, and a handful of others that exist in but don’t specifically focus on the holiday. That’s what makes Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat such an amazing, er, treat. The film does for Halloween what A Christmas Carol does for Christmas in that it provides a deeper lore to go along with the bags of candy and wacky, sometimes overly sensual costumes. By film’s end, you’ll not just understand Halloween, but feel compelled to take part in it lest you endure the wrath of the demonic pumpkin creature Sam.

Taking cues from the likes of Charlie Brown’s Halloween, classic slasher films, and monster flicks of yesteryear, Dougherty weaves a tapestry of wildly entertaining and sometimes hilarious stories that culminate with a morbid twist and a clear-cut message: respect Halloween or pay the price. You’ve been warned.

ComingSoon.net recommends all readers comply with CDC guidelines and remain as isolated as possible and to wear your mask during this urgent time.
