DAMMIT: John Landis Says Fox Wants “Chronicle 2″ To Be “Chronicle” All Over Again

October 11th, 2012

James Shotwell

Between yesterday’s news of Taken 3 moving forward and this, I think it’s safe to say whoever is making decisions at Fox is sitting atop the UTG shitlist.

John Landis’ son, Max Landis, became a must-know name earlier this year when his found footage superhero film, Chronicle, made a big splash with February moviegoers. The film was so successful that Fox decided almost immediately to move ahead with a sequel, and for once it actually made sense to do so as a handful of characters in the original are clearly setup to have future storylines worth exploring. However, some …

Movie Sequel Round-Up: Prometheus, X-Men: First Class, And Thor 2

August 2nd, 2012

Grace Duffy

It may seem that Hollywood is swiftly becoming naught but a hotbed of sequels and reboots, but three high-profile projects in the news this morning at least have real potential. First up, Ridley Scott has been hinting at a sequel to his recent sci-fi opus Prometheus, with sources pointing to a 2014 or 2015 release date. It seems Scott and studio Fox have been discussing the mooted follow-up with potential writers and aim to continue the story of Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw and Michael Fassbender’s David (or rather, David’s disembodied head) and their journey across the skies.

Get Ready, A “Pinocchio” Prequel Is On The Way

October 17th, 2011

James Shotwell

I don’t know how many people saw the box office report this weekend, but Real Steel is once again number one and Fox’s prequel/remake of The Thing failed miserably. You’d think studios would start to realize the hype of remakes, prequels, and sequels is starting to die down, but as you’ll soon learn that seems to be the exact opposite of what is happening in Hollywood these days.

Shawn Levy, AKA the guy who directed battling robots in Real Steel, has been tapped by Fox to direct a prequel to the animated classic Pinnochio. Written by Michael Vukadinovich …

September 23rd, 2008

James Shotwell

In anticipation for their new album Intervals, all of us at UTG have been going crazy about See You Next Tuesday.
