BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Zac Efron Heading Into The "Fire"


Zac Efron Heading Into The "Fire"

The list of young actors who transition to adult leading men isn’t that long... Tom Cruise, Sean Penn, Christian Bale, etc. Zac Efron is hoping to make that transition so he’s linked himself to a pair of projects he hopes will give him the chance to broaden his range. One of them would be his first action turn, in a Ludlum-esque spy thriller. Efron has a just made a deal at Universal for
Fire, an adaptation of a graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis that was published by Image Comics.

The plan is for Efron to play a college student who is recruited by the CIA, only to find that he has been trained for a program that creates expendable agents. Bendis, the fanboy favorite whose comic book creations include "Ultimate Spider-Man", will write the script. While little material moves during Sundance, Efron and Bendis got the deal after they schlepped around to three studios, pitching the project on a rainy day last Friday. The project has the steady hand of Neal Moritz, who’ll produce with Circle of Confusion’s David Engel. Efron and Alchemy Entertainment’s Jason Barrett will be exec producers.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...

Boba Fett To Return To The Mandalorian Season 2

According to The Hollywood Reporter , Boba Fett will have a small part to play in The Mandalorian Season 2 , and it will be Morrison under the helmet – fitting, seeing as Boba was a younger clone of Jango. That in itself throws forth plenty of questions – with Boba Fett falling head-first into the Sarlacc Pit in Return Of The Jedi, several years before The Mandalorian takes place, will he be revealed to have secretly survived that fate? Could his appearance be part of a flashback? Or could it actually be yet another clone? Jango’s DNA formed the basis for an entire clone army back in the Prequel era, so there’s likely to be plenty of remnants of his genetic code lying around the galaxy far, far away. We’ll find out exactly how Boba Fett (if that is indeed who Morrison will play) becomes part of The Mandalorian story when the second season arrives on Disney+. It’s currently scheduled to launch this October – and while the season had reportedly wrapped production, it remains to be se...
