Director Rick Famuyiwa, who was hired on to the superhero project after finding success with his coming-of-age Sundance sensation Dope, has parted ways with the studio over dreaded "creative differences." The departure of Famuyiwa will likely mean the delay of the movie’s start of production and release date. According to THR, Disney is ready to take on another of its classic fairytales with a new musical, live-action version of Snow White. Erin Cressida Wilson, who penned the adaptation of The Girl on the Train, is in negotiations to write the script for the film, which will expand upon the story and music from the animated classic. The film will also include new songs from songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who most recently wrote the lyrics for La La Land. No release date has been set. OPENING THIS WEEK BUY OR SELL Just over a week after stepping away from Deadpool, director Tim Miller has signed on to develop a live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie for Sony Pictures. From THR’s report, Miller and his longtime Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler will work on the project with Fowler taking on as his feature directorial debut. The plan is to make a hybrid CG-animated/live-action family film with Patrick Casey and Josh Miller writing the script. A release date has not been set. According to Deadline, a sequel to Escape Plan is in the works with Sylvester Stallone reprising his role of Ray Breslin, one of the world’s leading authorities on structural security and breaking out of jail. Pre-production will commence January 15th ahead of the start of shooting which is set for March 15th in Ohio and China. While accepting admission as a member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, James Cameron discussed his upcoming four Avatar sequels and how he hopes to utilize 3D technology. Paramount pictures have released a new trailer and character posters for their upcoming xXx sequel, Return Of Xander Cage. The collection of posters seems to include every character in the movie, beginning with Vin Diesel's return as the title character, Xander Cage. Doctor Strange doesn’t hit theaters in the US until November 4th, but it’s already making the big bucks at the international box office. According to Deadline, the movie took in nearly $88 million dollars in 33 offshore markets, putting it ahead of previous MCU installments including Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy.
