Ruben Fleischer To Direct Uncharted

Here we go again... The seemingly poisoned chalice that is the directing assignment on Sony's adaptation of the Uncharted is now likely to end up in the hands of Zombieland 's Ruben Fleischer, who has landed at the top of the studio's wishlist. The Uncharted series, should you be unaware, is a globe-trotting, loot-hunting set of Playstation games, blending Indiana Jones-style adventuring with several parts Tomb Raider and just a dash of National Treasure. Its hero is Nathan Drake (voiced by Nolan North), who undertakes action-packed trips to the likes of El Dorado, Shambala and the Iram of the Pillars, quipping many a quip and shooting many a henchman along the way. A film based on the game has become a revolving door of filmmakers and actors, with Bumblebee's Travis Knight the most recent director to vacate the seat as the studio aims to have the movie shooting before current star Tom Holland swings off to appear in the next Spider-Man film later this year.

Tom Hardy Returning For Venom 2

With more than $855 in the coffers, Venom overcame critical drubbing to successfully launch a new franchise. We'd already heard that the sequel is in the works, but producer Amy pascal has confirmed that Tom Hardy will be returning to play Eddie Brock. Of course, you'd figure he was already contractually obliged to return, but you never quite know with Hardy. Still, according to Pascal, "I can say that Tom Hardy will be back, magnificently playing that character as no one else can." There's no word on whether director Ruben Fleischer will also be back, so there may well be someone else around to oversee Hardy sitting in tanks of things. As for whether the live-action Peter Parker, Tom Holland, might one day show up to crossover with Hardy's Brock? "We have big plans for Tom Holland to be a part of everything," Pascal says. We just hope they don't trust him to keep the secret. In related Spider-verse news (specifically Into The Spider-Vers

Tom Hardy Is The Venom

THR is reporting Tom Hardy , who was nominated for an Oscar for his work in The Revenant , is in final negotiations to star in Venom , while Ruben Fleischer , best known for directing Zombieland , is final negotiations to helm the movie project centering on one of Spider-Man’s signature villains. The project is one of Sony’s top priorities and the studio is not wasting time as the movie is set to open Oct. 5, 2018. Venom is to usher in a host of movies from Sony's Marvel and Spider-Man-based universe of characters. Sony is rebooting its Marvel-based slate with this summer’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and Venom is a key title in its slate. The studio is also developing a Silver Sable/Black Cat project among other characters from the Spider-Man stable. Venom has been one of Marvel’s top villains and a Spider-Man fixture since he was introduced in 1988, created by writer David Michelinie and artists Todd McFarlane and Mike Zeck. The character is an alien symbiote that needs a

Mel Gibson In Talks To Direct Suicide Squad 2

Variety is reporting Warner Bros. has begun the search for the director who will take over the reins for the sequel to box office hit “ Suicide Squad .” Mel Gibson is perhaps the most surprising of the handful of possibilities. Sources tell Variety that in addition to Gibson, Warners has met with — or is planning to meet with — Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”), Daniel Espinosa (“Safe House”), and Jonathan Levine (“Warm Bodies”). Warner Bros. had no comment. Though insiders say the list could grow and that there is no front-runner at the moment, one source close to the situation said if Gibson wants it, the job is his. Gibson had said in the past that he wasn’t interested in directing a comic book movie so his involvement does seem odd, but sources now reveal that the filmmaker is excited about the prospect of working with this cast, specifically Will Smith. Before Ben Affleck and Gavin O’Connor became involved in “The Accountant,” Gibson and Smith tried teaming up on the f

Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer Working On " COPS" Movie

"Bad boys, bad boys, wotcha gonna do... wotcha gonna do when they come for you..." If that song pops into your head when you hear the title COPS , then chances are you know the famous reality police series that has been running on US TV since 1989. Now someone wants to make a movie based on the show, and Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer is aboard to direct. It's still in the nascent stage of developing, but apparently the plan is not to go for a direct big-screen version of the show, which specialises in showing perps being arrested, houses being raided and drunk weirdoes being carted away in cuffs, but instead to turn the idea into a buddy comedy along the lines of Lethal Weapon. Which has us rather confused... Why purchase the rights to the name of a show but then create a movie that will likely have nothing much to do with it? Still, writer Cameron Fay is the man currently charged with channelling the series' particular vibe for the show, which we suppose c

Taika Waititi Offered Thor: Ragnarok

Taika Waititi , who co-wrote and co-directed the vampire spoof What We Do In the Shadows , is in negotiations to direct the third installment of Marvel’s Thor movies, titled Thor: Ragnarok . Chris Hemsworth is reprising his role of the Norse god of thunder. Waititi’s emergence as the choice caps off a round of intense meetings that took place over the last month. Ruben Fleischer, Rob Letterman and Rawson Marshall Thurber were the other directors that were finalists for the gig. Waititi is the latest head-scratcher from Marvel for their pick to direct a big-budget extravaganza, especially one steeped in the Norse mythology and an Apocalypse myth. He wrote and directed episodes of Flight of the Conchords and is a writer on Disney’s upcoming animated feature Moana, which will star Dwayne Johnson. (Fun fact: he appeared with Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern, the 2011 adventure movie from Marvel’s superhero movie rival, Warner Bros.) Guardians of the Galaxy director James G

Liam Neeson To Star In The Revenger

Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark will produce through their Universal-based Bluegrass Films shingle, along with Fleischer and his producing partner David Bernad through The District. The logline is being kept under wraps. Beyond Night At The Museum, Lennon and Garant have scripted Hellbaby, Herby Fully Loaded, The Pacifier, and Comedy Central’s Reno 911 and the screen spinoff. Lennon also stars in The Odd Couple. Neeson recently wrapped production on Silence for Paramount and A Monster Calls for Focus Features. Bluegrass is in post on the Gary Ross-scripted and -directed The Free State Of Jones with Matthew McConaughey and the Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson-starrer Central Intelligence.

Potential Directors For Ant-Man Film

Marvel Studios is moving fast to make good on its promise to keep its July 17, 2015, release date for Ant-Man . Sources say Rawson Marshall Thurber, Adam McKay and Ruben Fleischer are among a group of directors that are meeting with the studio to replace Edgar Wright , who abruptly exited the long-gestating project last week over creative differences. The shortlisting of this trio offers a glimpse into the mind-set of Marvel president Kevin Feige as he looks to fill the hole left by Wright, a favorite among the fanboy community. Thurber (We're the Millers, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) and McKay (the Anchorman movies) are known for their bawdy comedies. Fleischer , whose credits include Zombieland and Gangster Squad, has moved deftly between genres with comedic elements. Wright, a Brit with a more quirky sensibility, clashed with Marvel over the tone of the film. McKay would appear to have an edge given that he has worked with Ant-Man star Paul Rudd before, on the A
