Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Biopic Delays Release to Mid-2022

Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic delays release to mid-2022

Despite building up the ensemble roster for the biopic multiple times this week, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic is hitting a speed bump as Warner Bros. Pictures has elected to delay the film from its November 2021 release to its new home of June 3, 2022, according to Variety. The film recently saw the additions of newcomer Alton Mason as Little Richard and Gary Clark Jr. as Big Boy Crudup.

Sources report that the studio’s decision to delay the film, which was originally set to be one of its large slate of films to debut in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously, spawns from the film still being in production in Australia with another five weeks of material left to shoot, making it highly unlikely to have made its November release on time without a rushed post-production.

Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Dead Don’t Die) is starring in the lead role as Elvis alongside Oscar winner Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, The Post), who is playing Presley’s manager Colonel Tom Parker, and Olivia DeJonge (The Visit), who will play Presley’s only wife Priscilla. It will also feature Oscar nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal as Gladys Presley, Rufus Sewell as Vernon Presley, and English musician Yola as Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

The movie will explore the life and music of Elvis through his complicated relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Parker discovered Presley when he was just an unknown and quickly moved in as his lone representation. Parker was responsible for various milestones, including Presley’s record deal with RCA and his successful acting career.

The Elvis biopic will be co-written by Luhrmann, who will direct, and BAFTA winner Craig Pearce (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!). Luhrmann will also produce alongside Oscar winner Catherine Martin (The Great Gatsby), Gail Berman, Patrick McCormick, and Schuyler Weiss. Andrew Mittman will serve as an executive producer

The film is still set for its theatrical release on June 3, 2022.

Project Power duo partner with Paramount & Bruckheimer for feature

Coming off of the hit Jamie Foxx-led Netflix actioner, Project Power filmmaking duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are keeping the ball rolling as they have signed on to helm Secret Headquarters at Paramount Pictures, according to Deadline.

The plot details for the film are currently being kept under wraps, but sources report that the project is being considered a top priority for all parties involved. The script is currently being penned by Joost, Schulman and Josh Koenigsberg, whose previous credits include time as a staff writer on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black and story editor on Hulu’s High Fidelity series adaptation. The trio are working on an original idea from Christopher Yost, who was the sole writer on the project originally and is currently working as writer and executive producer on Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop series.

Chad Oman (Remember the Titans, Gemini Man) is attached to produce the film alongside mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who recently brought back his hit Bad Boys franchise to life and saw the long-awaited threequel land as the third highest-grossing film of 2020 and is gearing up for the release of another franchise revival with the Tom Cruise-fronted Top Gun: Maverick, which is currently slated for a July 2 release.

In addition to Secret Headquarters, Joost and Schulman are currently working on an adaptation of the graphic novel Nemesis with Promising Young Woman helmer Emerald Fennell attached to script and have been attached to a film adaptation of Capcom’s Mega Man for four years with Project Power‘s Mattson Tomlin currently attached to write and Masi Oka (Heroes) producing alongside the game publisher.

Ethan Hawke Reuniting With Derrickson & Blumhouse for The Black Phone

Ethan Hawke reuniting with Derrickson & Blumhouse for The Black Phone

Four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke is looking to keep his upcoming dance card full as the soon-to-be Marvel Cinematic Universe star has signed on to reunite with Sinister co-writer/director Scott Derrickson and producer Jason Blum for their upcoming adaptation of The Black Phone, according to Deadline. Hawke will star alongside Emmy-winning Justified vet Jeremy Davies.

Based on the 2004 novella of the same name from Joe Hill, who will also executive produce the film, the logline for the source material reads as follows:

Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She’s also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn’t easy to make friends when you’re the only inflatable boy in town. Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he’s an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. John Finney is locked in a basement that’s stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead.

In addition to directing the project, Derrickson is adapting the story with frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill, both of whom will be reuniting with Blumhouse following their fan-favorite 2012 box office hit horror film Sinister starring Ethan Hawke, which the two wrote together and Derrickson helmed. The film’s box office success spawned a sequel the two wrote together but handed the directorial duties off to Ciaran Foy, though it would see lower box office returns and was panned by critics and audiences alike.

Derrickson and Cargill will produce the project via their Crooked Highway Productions banner alongside Jason Blum for his eponymous production banner, while Universal and Blumhouse will distribute. Black Phone has also already begun building its cast as Mason Thames (For All Mankind) and Madeleine McGraw (Toy Story 4) have both signed on to star in the film.

New My Salinger Year Trailer Starring Margaret Qualley & Sigourney Weaver

New My Salinger Year Trailer starring Margaret Qualley & Sigourney Weaver

IFC Films has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming drama film titled My Salinger Year, featuring Emmy-nominee Margaret Qualley as an aspiring writer who was assigned to deal with J.D. Salinger’s numerous fan mails. Also starring Golden Globe winner Sigourney Weaver, the film will be arriving in theaters on March 5, 2021. Check out the video in the player below!

New York in the ’90s: After leaving graduate school to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, Joanna (Margaret Qualley) gets hired as an assistant to Margaret (Sigourney Weaver), the stoic and old-fashioned literary agent of J. D. Salinger. Fluctuating between poverty and glamour, she spends her days in a plush, wood-paneled office – where dictaphones and typewriters still reign and agents doze off after three-martini lunches – and her nights in a sink-less Brooklyn apartment with her socialist boyfriend. Joanna’s main task is processing Salinger’s voluminous fan mail, but as she reads the heart-wrenching letters from around the world, she becomes reluctant to send the agency’s impersonal standard letter and impulsively begins personalizing the responses. The results are both humorous and moving, as Joanna, while using the great writer’s voice, begins to discover her own.

Alongside Qualley and Weaver, the cast for the film includes Douglas Booth (Mary Shelley, The Dirt), Brian F. O’Byrne (Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector), Colm Feore (The Umbrella Academy, For All Mankind) and Yanic Truesdale (Gilmore Girls).

Based on Joanna Rakoff’s memoir of the same name, My Salinger Year is written and directed by Phillippe Falardeau, best-known for previously helming the Oscar-nominated drama Monsieur Lazhar, the Reese Witherspoon-starring drama The Good Lie, and the eponymous Chuck Wepner biopic starring Liev Schreiber in the titular role.

Adrift: Leto & Aronofsky reuniting on Jason Blum-produced project

Requiem for a Dream alums Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club, Suicide Squad, The Little Things) and Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Mother!, The Whale) are reportedly reuniting on a new feature titled Adrift, according to Deadline, with Jason Blum (Get Out, BlacKkKlansman, Whiplash) attached to produce. Leto will star in the feature with Aronofsky set to direct and co-write.

Adrift is based on a short story by the same name written by Koji Suzuki, author of Ring, and published in the short story collection Dark Water. The story is set in the dead calm of the open sea, where a fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it’s towed into port, but he soon discovers why the rest of his more experienced crew members call it a “Ghost Ship.”

Aronofsky will co-write the script along with Luke Dawson. According to the outlet, Leto and producer Emma Ludbrook pursued the rights to the story for 10 years before bringing it to Blum and Aronofsky. The Golden Globe-nominated writer/director and the Oscar and Globe-winning star previously worked together on Aronofsky’s 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream, which was a critical hit upon release and is credited with helping launch the filmmaker into the spotlight and is considered as one of Leto’s breakout roles alongside American Psycho and Fight Club.

Blum will produce the project via his Blumhouse Productions banner along with Leto and Emma Ludbrook through Leto’s production company Paradox along with Carla Hacken.
