Penned by Guy Busick on a story developed by he and R. Christopher Murray, the movie will see the horrific experience of high school reunions elevated to a new level as a group of uninspired old friends become their graduating class’ only hope for survival against an evil shape-shifting creature.

In addition to direction, Radio Silence trio Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villela will produce the project alongside Project X Entertainment’s William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein, with whom they collaborated on Scream, and Vinson Films’ Tripp Vinson, who was attached to Ready or Not, while Vinson Films’ Tara Farney is set to executive produce.

Following the smash hit success of Ready or Not, which grossed over $57 million on its $6 million budget and garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, Radio Silence reunited with Busick for the surprise fifth installment in the Scream series that will see franchise vets Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette leading a cast mixed of old and new stars including Marley Shelton, Jack Quaid, Jenna Ortega and more, which Busick co-wrote with Vanderbilt and is currently slated for a January 14, 2022 release.

Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield reportedly returning for Spider-Man 3!

On the heels of the revelation that Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus would return and months of fan fervor for a live-action Spider-Verse, it appears Sony and Marvel are ready for it as Collider reports that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are ready to don the webslinging suit again for the Tom Holland-fronted third Spider-Man film.

While Garfield’s casting is currently set, offering him the chance to once again face Jamie Foxx’s Electro after The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Maguire is reportedly still in talks with the two studios for his reprisal of his career-defining role, but should it go through, he will be in good company as on-screen love Kirsten Dunst is also confirmed to return as Mary Jane Watson, while Garfield’s screen romantic partner Emma Stone’s involvement is currently unknown.

Tom Holland will return for the untitled third Spider-Man film as the titular wall-crawler alongside Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, going up against Jamie Foxx’s Electro. Given the ending of Far From Home, however, any number of his rogues’ gallery are also likely eager for a fight. The third installment to the MCU’s Spider-Man films will also feature the return of Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune) as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned.

While most of the original series cast are set to return for the threequel, Foxx’s casting further blurs the lines across Sony’s three web-slinging franchises, with the previous installment bringing back J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson from Sam Raimi’s trilogy and the studio’s Sony Universe of Marvel Characters led by Venom expected to crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe series soon.

Originally scheduled for a July 16, 2021 release, the untitled Spider-Man 3 was first pushed back to November 5 and will now bow on December 17, 2021.

American Skin Trailer Released for Nate Parker’s Drama Feature

The official trailer for actor/filmmaker Nate Parker’s (The Birth of a Nation) drama feature American Skin has been released by Vertical Entertainment, who acquired the North American rights to the film (via Deadline). You can check out the trailer now in the player below!

RELATED: New The Informer Trailer Debuts Ahead of November PVOD Release

Written and directed by Parker, who also stars in the movie, American Skin follows Marine veteran Lincoln ‘Linc” Jefferson (Parker) who takes matters into his own hands in a series of events he hopes will finally lead to justice for his 14-year-old son after witnessing his son’s murder by a white police officer who goes uncharged.

The movie is executive produced by Oscar-winner Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman) and also stars Omari Hardwick (Kick-Ass), Theo Rossi (Luke Cage), and Beau Knapp (Seven Seconds).

“In 2014, following the death of Michael Brown, I traveled to Ferguson, Missouri to stand against the overt domestic terrorism I saw spreading like a virus throughout our country,” Parker told Deadline. “My hope was both to amplify calls for justice, while seeking a better understanding of the tensions between law enforcement and men and women of color. The most tragic moment of this trip arrived when I stood downtown between two infuriated groups of citizens. From one side came yells of ‘Justice for Mike Brown’ and on the other ‘Support Our Police’. It became even more clear to me, the disconnect in our collective understanding of citizenship, law enforcement, and our responsibility to preserve American Black lives. This trip and subsequent killings developed in me a fire that manifested itself into the makings of this film American Skin.

“As an American citizen, father, brother, son and artist, I felt compelled to use my platform as a filmmaker to respond to this crisis in a way that could not only promote social equity, but initiate a global culture shift that can result in the preservation of lives. If saving one life is the only thing this film achieves, it will have served its core purpose.”

Lukas Behnken, Ben Ammar, and Mark Burg produce, with Zak Tanjefloff also executive producing and R.D. Delgado co-producing.

The movie debuted at the Venice Film Festival in 2019. It will be released next year in North America on Martin Luther King Day.

Paramount Pictures’ new edit and restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s final film in his epic Godfather trilogy features a new version of The Godfather: Part III, achieving Coppola and screenwriter Puzo’s original vision for the finale.

Coppola’s masterful film adaptation of Puzo’s novel chronicles the rise and fall of the Corleone family and the saga is rightfully viewed as one of the greatest in cinematic history. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, The Godfather: Part III was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film follows Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now in his 60s, as he seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire.

Coppola and his production company American Zoetrope worked from a 4K scan of the original negative to undertake a painstaking, frame-by-frame restoration of both the new Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone and the original The Godfather: Part III.

RELATED: CS Holiday Gift Guide Part 1: Movies & TV!

In order to create the best presentation possible, Zoetrope and Paramount’s restoration team began by searching for over 50 original takes to replace lower resolution opticals in the original negative. This process took more than six months and involved sifting through 300 cartons of negative. American Zoetrope worked diligently to repair scratches, stains, and other anomalies that could not be addressed previously due to technology constraints, while enhancements were made to the original 5.1 audio mix. These thorough restoration efforts were not immune to the coronavirus pandemic: midway through the project, all work—even the search for the negative—shifted to the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles and was completed by Zoetrope and Paramount remotely.

Ridley Scott’s Gucci biopic adds Jeremy Irons to cast

After lining up Al Pacino (The Irishman) and a number of other A-list performers to join Lady Gaga (A Star is Born) in Ridley Scott’s Gucci biopic, the cast is growing even further with the addition of Emmy-nominated Watchmen star Jeremy Irons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

RELATED: Gucci: De Niro, Pacino & More in Talks for Ridley Scott Crime Drama

Roberto Bentivegna’s script is based on Sara Gay Forden’s 2001 novel The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed that used the murder to delve into the complex yet dishy family history, filled with infighting, corporate intrigue and gobs of money. Gucci, the grandson of Guccio Gucci, ran the company in a declining period in the 1980s after wrestling it out of his uncle’s hands.

Sources reported in August that Pacino, Adam Driver (Marriage Story), Jack Huston (Antebellum), Jared Leto (Morbius) and Reeve Carney (Penny Dreadful) were all in talks to star in the film, with Driver being eyed for Maurizio Gucci, and that Robert De Niro (The Irishman) was in talks to portray Maurizio’s father, Rodolfo, though those proved to be misinformed as Irons has signed on for the role.

Pick up your copy of Forden’s novel here!

Coming off from the critical success of 2018’s A Star Is Born which earned her an Oscar for Best Original Song and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, Lady Gaga is attached to portray the role of Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife and mother of his two daughters, Patrizia Reggiani, who was tried and convicted for orchestrating her ex-husband’s murder on the steps of his office in 1995. Despite her children’s pleas to the court and public to reevaluate her mother’s case as the operation drastically changed her behavior, she was portrayed darkly in the media, being dubbed the Black Widow and was sentenced to 29 years before being let out early in 2016 after only 18 years.

The film will be produced by Ridley Scott and Giannina Scott through their Scott Free Productions banner. Kevin Walsh has also boarded the project to serve as a producer.
