Now, thanks to a report from New Zealand’s Time Out Magazine, we have some answers. Speaking with Steven Spielberg about The BFG, the director revealed that The Adventures of Tintin 2 is still alive, with Jackson working on the script along with a secret project for the filmmaker’s Amblin Entertainment. There’s no word yet on a release for Tintin 2 or when we can expect the secret Amblin project Spielberg mentions. BUY OR SELL Over the past few months, news has been slowly rolling out about Pacific Rim 2. We know that Daredevil: Season 1 showrunner Steven S. DeKnight would be taking over directing duties from Guillermo del Toro with Jurassic World co-writer Derek Connolly penning the script. And a few weeks back, we learned that John Boyega had been cast in the lead role as Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost’s son. Now, add a release date on to the news. Yesterday, Universal and Legendary Pictures announced that Pacific Rim 2 will open on February 23, 2018. 2 new trailers were released for Bad Moms, one green band, and one red band. The R rated comedy features the principal trio of Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn alongside Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith and Annie Mumolo. Bad Moms is about Amy and her seemingly perfect life, great marriage, over-achieving kids, and beautiful home and career. However, she’s over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she’s about to snap. Hollywood has been trying to adapt Stephen King’s massive horror novel IT for the big screen for some time. Through the process, True Detective filmmaker Cary Fukunaga was originally attached to direct but left over creative differences before Mama director Andy Muschietti took over. The two-film adaptation is now moving forward with the first movie beginning principle photography. Muschietti announced the start of filming taking to his Instagram to share some behind the scenes shots including a sketch of what Pennywise might look like in the movie. Deadline is reporting that Paramount Pictures has picked up the rights to the book series Clifford the Big Red Dog from Universal and is now developing the film as a live-action/CG Hybrid film. Justin Malen, who wrote the script for the upcoming Baywatch movie, will pen the script. Vinnie Jones took to Twitter announcing he’d be reuniting with his Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels producer now director Matthew Vaughn in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. On Twitter, Jones posted a pair of videos from the set of the film holding up the day’s newspapers to show fans he’s telling the truth and later, posted photos of himself in costume next to Vaughn and his new co-star Julianne Moore.
