Sony and Amazon are teaming with Ãlex de la Iglesia for a new series of cosmic horror movies. Christopher Nolan tries to justify buying and blowing up a whole-arse 747 for . To me, my spoilers!
The Fear Collection
According to Variety, Sony Pictures International and Amazon Prime Video have closed a multi-picture deal with Ãlex de la Iglesia (Witching and Bitching) to develop a series of features films celebrating cosmic horror by himself, Jorge GuerricaechevarrÃa, Jaume Balagueró, Paula Ortiz, Fernando Navarro, and Carlos Theron. In a press release, Iglesia stated “It’s an ambitious project that I’ve been hauling around for years. The concept is to make a collection of films that unveil a universe of horror beyond time. The characters face supernatural forces that threaten humanity. The idea is to generate a label of films with a specific character, Cosmic Horror.”
Cobweb
Bloody-Disgusting reports Samuel Bodin (Netflix’s Marianne) is attached to direct the horror-thriller Cobweb at Lionsgate. The story is said to concern “a boy whose parents have always told him the voices he hears in the walls of his house are just his imagination. But when he discovers they might be real, he goes on an unnerving quest to discover what’s real and what’s not.”
Tenet
In conversation with Total Film (via Games Radar), Christopher Nolan rationalized his decision to buy a genuine Boeing 747 airliner to blow-up on camera in Tenet.
I planned to do it using miniatures and set-piece builds and a combination of visual effects and all the rest. We started to run the numbers”¦ It became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size, and perform this sequence for real in camera, rather than build miniatures or go the CG route. It’s a strange thing to talk about ” a kind of impulse buying, I suppose. But we kind of did, and it worked very well, with Scott Fisher, our special-effects supervisor, and Nathan Crowley, the production designer, figuring out how to pull off this big sequence in camera. It was a very exciting thing to be a part of.
The Goon
According to an update “of little substance but huge feeling” on The Goon movie’s official Kickstarter page, creator Eric Powell is now “working on script revisions” and “things are still moving forward.” In evidence, a handful of storyboard pages have been uploaded to the site.
Avatar 2
Jon Landau teased Avatar 2 will see Jake and Neytiri’s new family explore “different regions of Pandora” after they’re “force to leave their home.”
This is the story of the Sully family and what one does to keep their family together. Jake and Neytiri have a family in this movie, they are forced to leave their home, they go out and explore the different regions of Pandora, including spending quite a bit of time on the water, around the water, in the water.
Planet of the Apes
Director Wes Ball stated his upcoming Planet of the Apes reboot will honour “the original three” movies in the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trilogy.
Those last three movies are one of the great trilogies we have in modern movie history. They are just so well done. They honoured the original movies they sprang from, the Charlton Heston movies, but they grounded it in a modern sensibility and it just worked. Caesar is one of the great movie characters that we’ll have throughout time. So what do you do to follow that up, right? At the same time, I wasn’t interested in doing a part four either. We want to also do our own thing.
I’ll say this, for fans of the original three don’t worry ” you’re in good hands. The original writers and producers that came up with Rise and Dawn, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, they’re also on board with this. Josh Friedman is writing this thing, a lot of the same crew is kind of involved. We will feel like we’re part of that original trilogy, but at the same time we’re able to do some really cool new stuff. It will be really exciting to see on the biggest screen possible.
