On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (June 16, 2016) Kristian Harloff, Jon Schnepp, Jason Inman and Natasha Martinez discuss the following: -Steven Spielberg says he won’t kill Indiana Jones -Helen Mirren joins Fast and Furious 8 -Zac Efron in talks to join Hugh Jackman in Greatest Showman on Earth -The Crow remake still happening -Conjuring 2 spin-off The Nun in development -Sicario 3 already in the works -Opening this week (Brought to you by AMC theatres) -Mail Bag Indiana Jones 5 will hit theaters on July 19, 2019 and franchise star Harrison Ford will be 76 years old. But that doesn’t mean the fifth movie in the franchise will spell certain doom for the famous archeologist. After so many rumors of a reboot and casting replacements, Steven Spielberg confirmed in March that he will be returning to direct the movie, with Ford in the starring role once again. As part of an in-depth profile of the director over at THR, the filmmaker suggested the fans will respond to Indiana Jones 5 better than they did the much maligned Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He also promised that there will be no Indy death scene. After famously lobbying for a role in the Fast and Furious franchise, Helen Mirren revealed in an interview with Elle magazine that her efforts have paid off. Speaking about her latest project, Eye in the Sky, and how much she wants her roles in film to be relevant and serious, she then went on to reveal her part in the 8th Fast and Furious franchise, saying “but that’s for the fun of it.” Adding that she’s always rather loved driving, in order for her to join the film, she told the filmmakers that she would only do it if she was allowed to actually drive the car. According to a report from Variety, Zac Efron is in talks to team up with Hugh Jackman in the Fox biopic of Barnum & Bailey Circus founder P.T. Barnum called The Greatest Showman on Earth. Jackman has been attached to the project since 2009, and is a contemporary musical set to be scripted by Sex and the City writer Jenny Bicks. Jackman will play the showman with a specialty in hoaxing a gullible public as he creates the three-ring Barnum & Bailey Circus that made him famous. BUY OR SELL The Crow remake has been seemingly cursed for the last few years, with a rotating door of actors who then leave the project - like Luke Evans, Tom Hiddleston, James McAvoy, Bradley Cooper, and Jack Huston. There’s a similar chain of directors that do the same, including Stephen Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, F. Javier Gutierez, and most recently, Corin Hardy, who was fired off the project by producer Ed Pressman amid a legal battle between the studio and filmmakers. Now, thanks to a report from Deadline, it looks as though Corin Hardy might end up directing the movie after all. Sources for Deadline say that “there might be a thaw” in the battle for the remake. According to a report from Variety, New Line is developing a Conjuring 2 spin-off movie - The Nun, based on the demonic character seen in last weekend’s Conjuring sequel. The studio has tapped David Leslie Johnson, who co-wrote Conjuring 2 with Chad and Carey Hayes, to write the script. Producers are James Wan, who directed the two Conjuring movies and produced the sequel, and Peter Safran, who produced both movies. Earlier this month, Collider reported that the Sicario sequel had received a title – Soldado along with a new director, Stefano Sollima, who directed the Italian miniseries Gomorrah. In the report, it was learned that Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro would also return, and the story would focus on del Toro’s mysterious character. Now in an interview with The Independent, Sollima has provided new details about what he has planned not just for Soldado, but for a third installment of the franchise, which he is already hard at work on.
