Lionsgate Lands Victoria Mahoney to Helm Shadow Force

Lionsgate lands Victoria Mahoney to helm Shadow Force

After acquiring the rights to the Sterling K. Brown (This is Us) and Kerry Washington (Little Fires Everywhere)-starring actioner last fall, Lionsgate has tapped Victoria Mahoney (Lovecraft Country) to direct Shadow Force, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Victoria is one of the most impressive and in-demand directors working today,” Erin Westerman, President of Production for Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said in a statement. “Like with all of her work, she will bring iconic action, warmth, style, and gravitas to Shadow Force.”

Written by Leon Chills, Shadow Force is being likened to the box office hit Mr. & Mrs. Smith, describing it as a fresh take on the 2005 action-comedy which starred award-winning actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Further details about the film’s plot are under wraps with different studios previously bidding for the film’s theatrical rights, with Lionsgate becoming the winning bidder. Mahoney recently set history as the first female and person of color director of a big-screen Star Wars project as the second-unit director of the closure of The Skywalker Saga, The Rise of Skywalker.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Victoria Mahoney,” Washington and Brown said in a statement. “Her vision is inspiring. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Her artistry and insight have already deepened this electrifying project.”

Washington along with Pilar Savone will produce the film through their Simpson Street banner. While Indian Meadows Productions’ Brown and Danielle Reardon will be producing along with Stephen “Dr” Love of Made with Love Media company.

Washington is best known for her roles as Olivia Pope in the political thriller series Scandal which earned her two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. Brown has won two Emmy Awards for his roles as Christopher Darden and Randall Pearson in the award-winning series’ American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson and This Is Us, respectively.

Adam Sandler & Netflix Partner for The Spaceman of Bohemia

Adam Sandler & Netflix partner for The Spaceman of Bohemia

Though having returned to the world of goofier comedies with Hubie Halloween, Adam Sandler may just be ready for more awards-worthy material as he has signed on to star in Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of The Spaceman of Bohemia, according to Deadline.

Based on Jorslav Kalfar’s novel of the same name, the plot centers on an astronaut (Sandler) sent to the edge of the galaxy to collect mysterious ancient dust, but instead finds his earthly life falling to pieces and must turn to one voice to help him put it back together, which happens to belong to a creature from the beginning of time lurking in his ship.

The script is set to be adapted by Colby Day in his feature debut with Johan Renck, the Emmy-winning eye behind the camera on HBO’s Chernobyl miniseries, set to direct the project. The drama will be produced by Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, Peter Kiernan and Michael Parets for Free Association, with Parets overseeing for the banner while Tim Headington, Lia Buman and Max Silva will oversee for Tango Entertainment and Ben Ormand, Renck and Barry Bernadi set to executive produce.

“As we prepare for our voyage to Chopra, I couldn’t be more pleased to have found the perfect partner in Adam,” Renck said in a statement. “And now, with the support of the brilliant Netflix family, I am profoundly excited to set off on our impossible journey.”

Sandler currently has a major multi-film deal in place with the streaming platform, which has delivered such hits as Murder Mystery and Hubie Halloween, and while he already has the sports comedy Hustle set up with Netflix, this may be an opportunity to see him recreate the acclaim of his serious performance from Uncut Gems on the service, though it’s also unclear if this will be eligible towards his recent four-film extension or act as a separate project from the deal.

Kenya Barris Tapped to Write/Direct/Produce Richard Pryor Biopic

Kenya Barris tapped to write/direct/produce Richard Pryor biopic

After years of attempts at telling the story of the legendary comedian on the big screen, MGM has acquired the rights to a new iteration of a Richard Pryor biopic with Kenya Barris (Black-ish) attached to write, direct and produce the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“The way Pryor did what he did — with truth and specificity that was somehow self-aware and self-deprecating, and said with an unmatched level of vulnerability — that was the power and impact of his work,” Barris said in a statement. “Pryor had a voice that was distinctly his and, in many ways, comedy since then has been derivative of what he created. To me, this is a film about that voice, the journey that shaped it, and what it took for it to come to be.”

The untitled project will be produced by Barris via his Khalabo Ink Society production banner alongside Pryor’s widow Jennifer Lee Pryor for her Tarnished Angel banner and Tory Metzger for Levantine Films, while Adam Rosenberg is attache to executive produce the film.

“Having had a front-row seat to much of Richard’s life, I am excited that the mystery of his genius is finally going to be explored and Kenya Barris is the perfect person to do it,” Lee Pryor said in a statement. “Richard and Kenya are creative brothers.”

A biopic centered on Pryor has been in the works for over a decade now, with previous attempts including Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? being produced by Chris Rock and Adam Sandler, which had Marlon Wayans, Eddie Murphy and Mike Epps attached to produce at various points in development as well as Mike Condon and Lee Daniels being set to direct, though after years of languishing in development hell it appears that project has officially died.

Timothée Chalamet-Led Bob Dylan Biopic Paused Indefinitely

Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic paused indefinitely

With its director wrapped up in a blockbuster project and pandemic protocols creating a number of challenges for some of its elements, the Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic has officially been put on hold indefinitely, according to Collider.

In an interview for Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, director of photography Phedon Papamichael revealed that while he is reteaming with James Mangold (Ford v. Ferrari) for the upcoming Indiana Jones 5, he doesn’t believe the drama centered on the 12-time Grammy winner is “dead,” but rather is “a tough one to pull off in a COVID era because it’s all in small clubs with lots of extras in period costumes, so you’ve got lots of hair and makeup.” Despite this, however, Papamichael hasn’t confirmed whether talks are ongoing to outright cancel the project.

Going Electric will chronicle Bob Dylan’s rise in folk music and sudden transition to rock ‘n’ roll. The film will also see Dylan’s interaction with 1960s’ music legends which include Joan Baez, and Seeger. The Fox Searchlight-produced film includes the rights to the Pop Culture icon’s music rights and to author Elijah Wald’s book titled Dylan Goes Electric.

The film will be executive produced by Dylan along with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Andrew Rona. Jeff Rosen, who is Dylan’s longtime manager has also signed on as a producer with Mangold, Veritas Entertainment Group’s Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer and Peter Jaysen, Automatik’s Fred Berger, and The Picture Company’s Alex Heineman also set to produce.

Chalamet recently starred as Laurie in Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation of Little Women and will next be seen in Denis Villeneuve’s star-studded epic sci-fi film Dune starring alongside Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. Chalamet is also part of the amazing ensemble cast for Wes Anderson’s forthcoming comedy-drama The French Dispatch.

Coming off from the critical success of Ford v Ferrari, this project will mark Mangold’s second musical biopic as he first directed the award-wining 2005 Johnny Cash-June Carter biopic film Walk the Line starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. His other notable film credits include Girl, Interrupted, Kate & Leopold, and Logan with the latter earning him an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Evil Dead Rise: Bruce Campbell Offers New Update on Fifth Installment

In a recent interview with AL.com, franchise star and producer Bruce Campbell has shared new details on the upcoming fifth installment of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films, confirming that director Lee Cronin has completed his screenplay for Evil Dead Rise, describing it as a “modern-day urban Evil Dead.” He also revealed that they’ve already talked to a couple of potential partners and is hoping to start production next year.

“We’re honing-in, circling the building now trying to lock in a partner,” Campbell said. “We have a couple of bidders and we’re trying to just find the correct suitor and we have a script written and a director picked. Sam Raimi hand-picked a guy named Lee Cronin, who’s a very good Irish filmmaker. And it’s got a very good modern tale. It’s a modern-day urban “Evil Dead,” it’s called “Evil Dead Rise.” And we’re hoping to do that next year.”

He also went on to provide a brief description of the film’s female heroine. “What we’re doing now is we’re saying, Look, this is another ‘Evil Dead’ movie and that book gets around, a lot of people run into it and it’s another story,” Campbell continued. “The main key with “Evil Dead” is they’re just regular people who are battling what seems to be a very unstoppable evil, and so that’s where the horror comes from. It’s not someone who’s skilled. They’re not fighting a soldier. They’re not fighting a scientist. They’re not fighting anybody more than your average neighbor. This one is going to be a similar thing. We’re going to have a heroine, a woman in charge, and she’s going to try and save her family.”

The next installment to the Evil Dead films will be written and directed by The Hole In The Ground filmmaker Lee Cronin, who was handpicked by franchise creator Sam Raimi. Campbell previously confirmed that the upcoming film won’t have any ties to the previous films and might again feature a female lead.

The Evil Dead franchise began with 1981’s The Evil Dead and was followed by 1987’s Evil Dead II and 1993’s Army of Darkness which were all written and directed by Sam Raimi and centered on Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams. The original trilogy had amassed a massive cult following that spawn into video games, stage musicals, and a comedy horror series titled Ash vs. Evil Dead which ran on-air from 2015-2018. In 2013, the fourth installment to film franchise was introduced with Fede Alvarez’s 2013 soft reboot of Raimi’s 1981 film which now revolves around a female protagonist.

Lee Cronin is an Irish filmmaker who made his feature-length directorial debut last year with the supernatural horror film The Hole in the Ground. He also recently collaborated with Raimi as he directed an episode of Quibi’s horror anthology series 50 States of Fright.

Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall Adds Donald Sutherland & Eme Ikwuakor

Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall adds Donald Sutherland & Eme Ikwuakor

As shooting gets underway on the estimated $120 million sci-fi project, Roland Emmerich is expanding his already star-studded cast of Moonfall with the additions of Donald Sutherland (Ad Astra) and Eme Ikwuakor (Marvel’s Inhumans), according to Deadline.

In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact, and against all odds, a ragtag team launches an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love and risking everything to land on the lunar surface and save our planet from annihilation.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winner will star as the gatekeeper of NASA’s secret archives, including the truth behind the Apollo moon landings in the early ’70s, and grapples with his conscience about whether to share this information with the world while Ikwuakor is set to play a high-ranking military officer who is also the estranged father to the son of and ex to Halle Berry’s NASA astronaut-turned-administrator.

The two join a cast that already includes Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring, Aquaman), John Bradley (Game of Thrones), Charlie Plummer (Spontaneous, Words on Bathroom Walls), Berry (John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum) and Stanley Tucci (The Witches).

Directed by Emmerich, Moonfall begins production this fall in Montreal with a script written by Emmerich, his 2012 co-writer Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen. Emmerich is producing the independent feature film under his Centropolis Entertainment banner with Kloser producing through his company, Street Entertainment. Executive producers are Dennis Wang, James Wang, J.P. Pettinato, Marco Shepherd, Ute Emmerich, Carsten Lorenz, and Stuart Ford.

Like last year’s #1 box office hit Midway, Emmerich and Centropolis are independently producing and financing Moonfall, overseeing all aspects of production, financing, delivery, and distribution and marketing in collaboration with Lionsgate, AGC International, and the film’s distribution partners around the world.

Moonfall is slated to be released theatrically by Lionsgate in North America in 2021.

Watched at Home: Top 20 Streaming Films for the Week of October 15

You did it, guys! After seven long months of tracking The Digital Entertainment Group’s Top 20, The Lord of the Rings trilogy finally cracked the list. Actually, Peter Jackson’s epic series swooped in like Shadowfax and fought its way into the Top 10, landing at No. 9. True, it wasn’t just Lord of the Rings … it took the entire Middle Earth 6-Film Collection, including the three Hobbit films, to upend the establishment. But, this is still a huge win for Team Frodo, especially after all of that Harry Potter love. (The boy wizard jumped all the way to No. 2 in case anyone was asking.)

While the LOTR love was great, your love of all things Jason Voorhees is absolutely astounding. The hockey-mask donning killer presides over all as the Friday the 13th Collection — read: all 12 films! — slayed the competition and now stands as the No. 1 on the list. Truly remarkable. Also, no judgment.

Speaking of movie/TV collections, you couch potatoes also saw fit to binge Game of Thrones: The Complete Series (No. 15), Friends: The Complete Series (No. 11) and perhaps the greatest comedy show of all time — for the first four or five season anyway — The Office: The Complete Series (No. 5). You did good, people. You did real good.

CS Recommends: Killdozer, Plus Other Classic Horror!

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 Killdozer and more! Check out our picks below!

MAX EVRY’S RECOMMEND: Killdozer!

Click here to purchase!

The folks at Kino Lorber have put yet another classic 70’s made-for-TV gem on Blu-ray, this time it’s the horror flick Killdozer! Starring big hulking slab of a man Clint Walker, it’s one of those laughable concepts played dead-straight. Basically a malevolent alien entity crash lands on a remote island where a group of construction workers are isolated doing some kind of a something. The entity possesses one of their big yellow bulldozers and… well, you can probably guess. The kills are spectacular, Walker gives it 110% and never once lets the audience feel like he’s aware he’s in a silly piece of junk. Thus, the film somehow becomes elevated from “junk” to “awesome!” The supporting cast of this 1974 creature feature also includes Robert Urich and a most-definitely-not-sober Neville Brand. The new Blu-ray includes an audio commentary by Lee Gambin and Jarret Gahan, as well as an audio interview with director Jerry London!

KYLIE HEMMERT’S RECOMMEND: A Quiet Place

Click here to purchase!

John Krasinski’s horror directorial debut A Quiet Place will forever stand out among the best of the best in post-apocalyptic original genre storytelling. In the film’s terrifying new world, the story revolves around Krasinski’s Lee Abbott and wife Evelyn, played by Emily Blunt, who struggle to survive and keep their children safe while under constant threat from sightless extraterrestrial creatures who hunt by sound. The Oscar-nominated and massive box office hit delivers genuinely frightening sequences and a tense atmosphere that will have you holding your breath as you become invested in the fates of the Abbott family, each character played impeccably by the movie’s superbly talented cast. Flinching at even the slightest sound that you know spells almost certain doom, especially after witnessing a devastating tragedy that haunts the family, A Quiet Place will frazzle your nerves and break your heart as you eagerly wait along with the rest of us for next year’s follow-up.

GRANT HERMANNS RECOMMENDS: Doom

Click here to purchase!

Hollywood has tried time and again to get its finger on the pulse of the video game world with film adaptations of beloved properties and the results are infamously mixed, but one of the best attempts — even if it is somewhat a bad film — is the Karl Urban and The Rock-starring Doom. Based on id Software’s first-person shooter series, the film follows a group of Marines who are sent on a mission to a research facility on Mars to rescue people as genetically-mutated creatures have sieged the area.

As far as story goes, it does stray a lot from the games, which centered on an anonymous space marine facing waves of demons invading a facility on Mars but instead sees the group face off against mutated creatures birthed from experimentation more akin to the Resident Evil franchise, but aside from that and some cringeworthy dialogue, the rest of the film is a blast and solid translation. The action is well-executed and nicely blends CGI and practical effects, the musical score rocks hard just like those of the games and the cast are all pretty great in their roles, especially a rare antagonistic Rock and always-excellent Urban. Plus the more we talk about the first-person shooting sequence of the film, the better, because it’s an expertly designed and shot section that should get any game fan giddy the second it starts.

MAGGIE DELA PAZ’S RECOMMEND: Master’s Sun (South Korean Series)

Click here to purchase!

Directed by Jin Hyuk from a script written by acclaimed South Korean writing duo The Hong Sisters, Master’s Sun follows the story of Tae Gong-shil, who’s trying her best to live a normal life after waking up from a 3-year long coma that changed the course of her life forever. However, starting a brand new life proves to be difficult for Gong-shil as waking up resulted in her mysteriously gaining the ability to see ghosts. Because of this, she finds herself getting terrorized by ghosts every day which made it hard for her to keep a normal job, especially when a ghost sometimes tries to possess her body. Weirdly, the only way she can get rid of the ghosts is when she touches Joong-won, the cold and narcissistic CEO of a popular mall chain who Gong-shil meets during one fateful stormy night. As Joong-won discovers Gong-shil’s ability, he finds value in it by enlisting her help in hopes of communicating with his dead girlfriend, who betrayed him and stole his beloved mother’s diamond necklace when they were young.

Master’s Sun is a 17-episode horror romantic comedy that earned acclaim from South Korea’s award-giving bodies following its broadcast run in 2013. I highly recommend this show because it featured a delightful and entertaining storyline for a genre that I’ve always been a fan of. What I also love the most about the series is its perfect mix of horror and comedy that was also well-combined with heartfelt scenes that reflect real-life societal problems. On top of its great story, the series was led by two powerhouse talents, So Ji-Sub and Gong Hyo-jin whose dynamic chemistry and individual performances further proved their status as two of South Korea’s top actors.

Even though Joong-won is a self-centered and ambitious guy, I guarantee that viewers will still be able to root for him through the character’s unusual but charming quirks and straight-forward jabs that were perfectly portrayed by So Ji Sub. Meanwhile, Gong Hyo-jin’s convincing portrayal of a troubled and awkward woman, who at the same time is thoughtful and courageous in the face of injustice and horror was also equally impressive to watch. I’m a fan of both of their other works and will definitely recommend them here in the future.

JEFF AMES’ RECOMMEND: The Blair Witch Project

Click here to purchase!

This weekend I watched The Blair Witch Project for just the second time since its release in 1999. Let me tell ya, it actually holds up remarkably well. Particularly when compared to the legion of found-footage movies released in the intervening years. That’s because The Blair Witch Project actually feels real, mostly due to its low budget, shotty (and cheap) camera work, terrific sound design, and the improvisational quality of its three lead actors. Sure, the premise remains gimmicky, the results, perhaps, more bizarre than scary; and that ending still feels a little too perfect for a film striving for out-and-out realism.

Nonetheless, The Blair Witch Project works as a stranger-than-fiction tale that relies on the viewer’s imagination to construct the various creatures, demons, and witches lurking in the forest just beyond the light. Some balk at this approach. I say, as we saw with the underrated sequel, The Blair Witch, in 2016, no amount of blood, jump scares or amazing creature FX can top the darkness rolling inside our own heads. The Blair Witch Project makes for one hell of an intense therapy session.

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