The mantra behind Sony Pictures’ recent restructure that brings in Michael De Luca as production co-president was to make higher quality tent poles. That means spending money on hot writers. I’m told the studio is in early talks with David Guggenheim to script Bad Boys 3 , which the studio hopes will bring back Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as fast-talking undercover cops who solve crimes with spectacular action, gunplay, and harsh language. Guggenheim scripted Safe House , the Denzel Washington-Ryan Reynolds action thriller. Bad Boys II was released a decade ago, and the sequel grossed $273 million on a $160 million budget. Michael Bay directed the first two, but he doesn’t seem to be involved, at least at this point. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the pic. Sony is trying to do this with the original cast, which makes it different from the other big franchise reboots in the works, Men In Black and Ghostbusters. Those are being rebooted. With Ghostbusters, that has a lot to do w

Win Tickets To An Advance For Screening For INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS on December 11th @ 7:30PM in Roseville @ Century Stadium 14. INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. LLEWYN DAVIS ( OSCAR ISAAC ) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles—some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn’s misadventures take him from the baskethouses of the Village to an empty Chicago club—on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul —and back again. Brimming with music performed by Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn’s married Village friends), as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS—in the tradition of O Brother, Where Art Thou?—is infused with the transportive sou

While we're on the subject of belated action comedy sequels, there's a new/old game afoot at Paramount . Recently cut loose from his erstwhile home at Disney, super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer has rocked up to a new deal at Paramount. First among his first-looks is the long-gestating fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie. Eddie Murphy has already signed on to return to his signature role as Axel Foley, and Brett Ratner - who's been on board since at least 2008 - is attached to direct. Last we heard, Beverly Hills Cop was being retooled as a TV series, under the aegis of The Shield's Shawn Ryan. Barry Sonnenfeld directed a pilot that starred Brandon T. Jackson as Foley's son, with Murphy cameoing to hand over the reins and Kevin Pollak as a Beverly Hills PD lawyer. CBS declined to pick it up for a series, however. Jackson claimed it was because the show was "too edgy" for them. So we're back once again to the plan for a fourth movie, which Deadline

Jupiter Ascending , coming from the typically secretive Wachowskis , but the first trailer is now online. Jupiter Jones ( Mila Kunis ) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine ( Channing Tatum ), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along: her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos. Yes, so it's your average mind twisting stuff from Lana and Andy, then. The trailer is a trippy blend of high space opera, the expected action from the pair and even some fairy tale elements (and what’s with the elfin Tatum ears?) with Tatum and Kunis joined by Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas

Building to a trailer due to arrive soon, some new imagery from Doug Liman’s sci-fi action thriller Edge Of Tomorrow , starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt , has arrived online. Edge Of Tomorrow , adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel All You Need Is Kill , finds Cruise as Bill Cage, a soldier happy to be far from the front lines in a brutal war against powerful aliens. Cage, who has scored a plum job overseeing the army’s PR, makes a series of mistakes and ends up in full battle armour on the front line, where he promptly dies. Caught in a time loop, he begins to figure out the secret to fighting the bad guys, smack dab in one of the most important skirmishes of the conflict. Along for the ride is Special Forces fighter Rita Vrataski ( Blunt ). It’s a distinctly different role from most for the actress. "I've discarded the bonnet and corset for an exosuit and a huge sword, it seems," Blunt tells USA Today . "I was looking for something very dif
