On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Wednesday, July 26th, 2017) Mark Ellis, Kristian Harloff, Jeremy Jahns, Jon Schnepp, Ashley Mova and Wendy Lee discuss the following: -Wonder Woman 2 announced for December 2019; Patty Jenkins in negotiations to return -Zack Snyder and David Ayer’s DC future up in the air -Lionsgate plotting John Wick Universe with new movie 'Ballerina' -Channing Tatum top choice for Van Helsing in Dark Universe -Olympus Has Fallen sequel ‘Angel Has Fallen’ in the works with director Ric Roman Waugh -Rick Famuyiwa in talks to direct ‘Son of Shaolin’ -Mail Bag -Live Twitter Last night it became official: Gal Gadot will return for a Wonder Woman sequel, and Warner Bros. has greenlit the movie and dated it for December 13, 2019. Patty Jenkins is in negotiations to return as director, but hasn’t officially been announced as coming back – though she is expected to do so. Coming from a report at Mashable, sources for the site say Zack Snyder will be taking a significantly smaller role within the DCEU moving forward after Justice League. Snyder was a primary engineer of the universe at Warner Bros, creating the look and style with Man of Steel that was to continue with his Justice League before stepping down. While Zack and his wife and producer Deborah will be getting directing and producing credits on Justice League, multiple sources for Mashable say the two are figuring out their next move, which may include Warner Bros films not within the DCEU. THR is reporting that Basil Iwanyk, the producer behind the hit John Wick action series, along with Lionsgate, have won a bidding war for a female-centric action script titled Ballerina that will serve as a possible John Wick spin-off. The deal marks the first sale for scribe Shay Hatten, a 23-year old writer who is currently working as a writer's assistant for Robert Downey Jr.’s production company, Team Downey. Ballerina is described as being in the vein of La Femme Nikita with a more pulpy, hyper-stylized angle a la Quentin Tarantino and Matthew Vaughn. BUY OR SELL According to a report from THR, Universal Pictures is now eyeing Channing Tatum to take the lead of famed monster hunter Van Helsing. While Van Helsing was originally an older gentleman and not a “vampire hunter” in Bram Stoker’s original novel, he’s been rebooted in the past to be younger and more of an expert in the hunting of monsters. Variety is reporting that Shot Caller director Ric Roman Waugh will direct the next installment in the Olympus Has Fallen series entitled Angel Has Fallen. The movie will see Gerard Butler’s secret service agent Mike Banning return along with Morgan Freeman, who is also on board to reprise his role. The movie will tell the story of agent Banning becoming a target himself when terrorists take over mid-flight on Air Force One. THR reports that Dope director Rick Famuyiwa is in negotiations to direct Son of Shaolin, a teen martial arts feature set up at Columbia Pictures, with Dwayne Johnson producing.
