Mark Wahlberg‘s Six Billion Dollar Man has been pushed from May 31, 2019 to June 5, 2020. Warner Bros. also announced Doctor Sleep, Stephen King‘s sequel to The Shining and directed by Gerald’s Game director Mike Flanagan is now set for January 24, 2020. Godzilla 2 was originally set for March 22, 2019, but is now moving to May 31, 2019. Paramount removed Transformers 7 completely off the release schedule.
According to some tracking numbers from Deadline, Solo: A Star Wars Story “domestic projections over the four-day Memorial Day holiday are ranging from $135 million-$170 million, with overseas projected at $150M-$170M.” If this ends up happening, it’ll be the first $100 million-plus Memorial Day weekend opening since X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014.
THR reports that Idris Elba will star as the hunchback, and direct and produce music for a modern retelling of the Hunchback of Notre Dame for Netflix. On the music side, he will be producing original tunes, which are being described as a "sonic and musical experience." No other details have been announced.
THR reports that George R.R. Martin’s The Ice Dragon is set to be adapted by Warners Bros. as an animated movie. Martin will produce the feature, and could possibly write the screenplay as well though nothing has been confirmed at the moment.
Universal has released a new Skyscraper trailer. The film is based on an original idea by writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers) and stars Dwayne Johnson as a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader who now assesses security for skyscrapers. The film opens July 13th.
Deadline reports that Jay Ryan has been cast as the adult version of Ben Hanscom in New Line Cinema’s It: Chapter 2. The younger version of the character was played by actor Jeremy Ray Taylor. The movie is set for September 6th, 2019.
