The Gray Man: Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura & More Join Russo Brothers’ New Netflix Film

Following the recent casting of Golden Globe nominee Ana de Armas, Deadline reports that the Russo Brothers’ have made four new cast additions to their next high-profile action feature Netflix’s The Gray Man. Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters, The Matrix 4) and Golden Globe nominee Wagner Moura (Narcos), who both have previously collaborated with the streamer, have officially been tapped to join Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in The Gray Man. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood breakout Julia Butters and Bollywood star Dhanush have also been cast for the film.

The movie is based on the 2009 Mark Greaney novel that introduced the Gray Man, a freelance assassin and former CIA operative named Court Gentry. The action thriller adaptation is described as a deadly duel between killers as Gentry (Gosling) is hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former cohort of Gentry’s at the CIA.

The Gray Man will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo from a script written by Joe Russo with “a polish” by AGBO’s Co-Presidents of Story and MCU writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The project was reportedly developed years ago at New Regency as a Brad Pitt/James Gray vehicle, but stalled with the Russo Brothers quietly developing the project for years.

The intention for the project is to create a new franchise on a “James Bond-level” with a budget of upwards $200 million, and Netflix has now set its most financially ambitious feature film thus far with The Gray Man. The film will be produced by AGBO’s the Russo Brothers and Mike Larocca along with Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for Roth Kirschenbaum. They are hoping to begin production in January in Los Angeles as international locations are being finalized.

FandangoNow's TRON: Legacy of the Grid Celebrates Film's 10 Year Anniversary

FandangoNow’s TRON: Legacy of the Grid Celebrates Film’s 10 Year Anniversary

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Disney’s Oscar-nominated TRON: Legacy, FandangoNow has released TRON: Legacy of the Grid, a new video sharing trivia and fun facts about the beloved TRON franchise, created by Steven Lisberger. You can check out the video now in the player below!

Serving as the follow-up to Lisberger’s 1982 Oscar-nominated movie starring Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart, True Grit, Starman), TRON: Legacy follows Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund, Mudbound) a rebellious 27-year-old who is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father, Kevin Flynn (Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer.

With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde, In Time), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes, and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and written by Emmy nominees Edward Kitsis (Lost) and Adam Horowitz (Lost, Once Upon a Time), from a story by Kitsis, Horowitz, Brian Klugman, and Lee Sternthal, the movie also stars Bruce Boxleitner (TRON), James Frain (Gotham), Beau Garrett (The Good Doctor), and Golden Globe nominee Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex).

TRON: Legacy was released in 2010 and grossed over $400 million at the worldwide box office. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Sound Editing, and was scored by Grammy Award-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk.

Latin Grammy Winner Bad Bunny Joins David Leitch’s Bullet Train

Latin Grammy winner Bad Bunny joins David Leitch’s Bullet Train

It’s been a couple of weeks since we last heard word of casting news in David Leitch’s star-studded action thriller Bullet Train and now he’s back at it again as Latin Grammy winner Bad Bunny has signed on to join the ensemble, according to Deadline.

Bullet Train will mark the eighth collaboration between Leitch and Pitt, who first worked together in 1999 on Fight Club on which Leitch worked as an uncredited stunt double for Pitt, followed by 2001’s The Mexican, Ocean’s Eleven and Spy Game, the latter two in which he doubled again for Pitt and helped coordinate the martial arts stunts on the Tony Scott-helmed film. Leitch would once again double for Pitt in 2004’s Troy and 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith and would later reunite with the star in 2018’s Deadpool 2, in which Pitt cameoed as Vanisher and Leitch directed.

Plot details for the film are currently being kept under wraps, but it is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Isaka Kotaro. The cast for the film, led by Pitt, already includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Andrew Koji (Warrior), Joey King (The Lie), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water), Logan Lerman (Hunters), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine) and Masi Oka (Spies in Disguise).

On top of directing, Leitch will supervise the script written by Zak Olkewicz (Fear Street). Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce the project via their company 87North along with Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven, Training Day, The Equalizer) and Kat Samick (The Equalizer, Southpaw, Infinite). Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada are executive producing in behalf of Kotaro. Brittany Morrissey is the executive overseeing the film for Sony Pictures.

Leitch and McCormick recently signed a first-look deal at Universal and produced the action film Nobody, starring Better Call Saul’s Bob Odenkirk, which is slated for a February 26, 2021 release. The duo is also developing a biopic of Jutta Kleinschmidt, the first and only woman to win the brutal off-road endurance race known as The Dakar Rally, as well as the rights to her book My Victory at Dakar.

CS Video: Soul Interview With Star Phylicia Rashad!

BEGIN SLIDESHOW

CS Video: Soul interview with star Phylicia Rashad!

Christmas came early for ComingSoon.net as we got the opportunity to chat with Emmy nominee Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show, Creed) to discuss her role in the latest Pixar adventure Soul, which hits Disney+ on Christmas Day! Our interview can be viewed in the player below!

In Soul, Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) is a middle-school band teacher who dreams of playing in the best jazz club in town, with the fantasy adventure drama’s filmmakers finding they could relate to the character’s passion for music.

Director Pete Docter grew up in a musical family and plays the double bass. “My folks are both teachers and both musicians,” Docter previously said in a statement. “There are three kids and we all became musicians. I think my mom enjoyed having the Von Trapp family; when people would come over, we’d have to perform. My two sisters stuck with it—one is a cellist with the Metropolitan Opera, and the other one is a violist and a teacher.”

Co-director Kemp Powers, who used to be a music writer, played the alto saxophone in a jazz band during high school. His affinity for jazz plays a big role in his personal life. “My son’s name is Mingus,” Powers previously said in a statement. “He’s named after Charles Mingus. A lot of us Gen Xers, particularly Black Gen Xers, fell in love with the bebop-era jazz artists—John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, of course Herbie Hancock. These guys were musical icons that—specifically in New York City—inform so much of the other big musical genre in the city, which is hip hop. The background tunes of my life are jazz and hip hop.”

Disney and Pixar’s Soul also features the voices of Tina Fey, Phylicia Rashad, Donnell Rawlings, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Angela Bassett, and Daveed Diggs.

The film is directed by Docter, co-directed by Powers, and produced by Dana Murray. Jazz compositions & arrangements are by globally renowned musician and Grammy nominee Jon Batiste, while Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network) composed an original score.
