1,270On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Thursday, May 17th, 2018) Mark Ellis, Perri Nemiroff and John Rocha discuss the following:
- IT: Chapter 2 Continues Casting - James Ransone to Play Eddie; Andy Bean to Play Stanley
- Disney/Pixar is Considering Bringing John Lasseter Back in a Limited Role
- Vin Diesel Joins Action-Comedy Franchise 'Muscle'
- Fast and Furious 9 Brings on a New Writer for the First Time Since 2006
- Destination Wedding Trailer: Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder Team Up for a Charmingly Awkward Rom-Com
- Live Twitter Questions
The casting for IT CHapter 2 continues with The Wire alum and Sinister actor James Ransone confirming on Twitter that he’ll be playing the adult version of Eddie Kaspbrak. Deadline later confirmed the casting. Later that day Variety added to the casting by revealing that Andy Bean had been cast to play Stanley. The two join already cast Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader. IT Chapter 2 is set for release on September 6th, 2019.
The Wall Street Journal reports that executives at Walt Disney Co. have discussed letting ousted Pixar CCO John Lasseter return to the studio after his “six-month sabbatical.” The Mouse House, however, has given no indication whether or not Lasseter will return, and it is entirely possible that the end of Lasseter’s leave, May 21, will pass without a decision. WSJ says that Lasseter would be stripped of managerial duties “including hiring or firing capabilities, would be removed or contained in the scenario being considered.”
STXfilms announced yesterday that Vin Diesel will star in its new action-comedy franchise entitled Muscle. Producers describe Muscle as the perfect blend of action and comedy that Diesel’s millions of devoted fans around the world have come to love him for. No other details about the story or franchise haven been revealed nor have they set a release date.
According to THR, The Fast and Furious franchise has tapped a new writer for the franchise, something that hasn’t happened since 2006. Up-and-coming screenwriter Daniel Casey, who wrote the upcoming sci-fi thriller Kin, is now on board to pen Fast and Furious 9 for director Justin Lin.
The first trailer has been released for Destination Wedding starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. In Victor Levin’s upcoming rom-com, Reeves and Ryder star as a pair of wedding guests who meet at a destination wedding in which both of them feel awkward, for different reasons.
