Channing Tatum Signs On For Gambit

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21589:]]

Despite the recent report that stated Channing Tatum was exiting the Gambit role, it’s now said Tatum has closed the deal to star as the Ragin’ Cajun.

THR reports the move was actually widely expected, despite the earlier rumor.

It is stated that Tatum and Fox ran into a few issues during negotiations, but it’s said such back-and-forth is a normal part of top-level talent dealmaking.

It’s further said Tatum’s involvement in Gambit wasn’t really in any danger because the actor had already invested so much in wanting to play the character.

Tatum is attached to play Gambit and produce, and also recently appeared at Comic-Con.

Apparently, the main issue involving getting Tatum signed was backend compensation.

The report also mentions that Fox considers Gambit a major character – on par with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine – and it’s suggested Fox wants Tatum on board as Gambit for the long haul, possibly up to ten years or so.

What remains to be seen is how everything gets figured out in regards to story and connections to the rest of the X-Men universe, but the Gambit movie has an October 7, 2016 release with Ruper Wyatt directing.

Fantastic Four Casts Wants Silver Surfer & Namor For Sequel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21581:]]

Will we ever see the Sentinel of the Spaceways on the big screen again?

I would have to say it’s a good bet, especially if the Fantastic Four reboot is somewhat of a success.

While the 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie was less than stellar, which I thought was more due to the writing, I was pretty happy with Doug Jones’ performance as the herald of Galactus. The movie actually wouldn’t have turned out that bad if they hadn’t used the Galactus cloud.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21582:]]

Last we heard about the Silver Surfer potentially appearing in a movie was the rumor that Marvel Studios wanted to trade the rights to Daredevil for Silver Surfer and Galactus. It’s possible Marvel wanted to use the cosmic duo in their Infinity War movies against Thanos. Obviously that didn’t happen, and Marvel so far has come out on top as the Netflix Daredevil show is considered a raging success.

So with Fox Studios keeping the rights to Silver Surfer and Galactus, now the Surfer’s name has popped up in relation to a potential Fantastic Four sequel. Jamie Bell, who is playing Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, says he would like to see the Silver Surfer as the next villain.

“You can’t get away from Silver Surfer,” Bell told ComicBook.com. “I know chronologically speaking that was the next villain in the previous franchise but I think Silver Surfer is cool looking.”

While the Fantastic Four movie has been getting some heat online, what I do appreciate about the film is that it’s a more serious take on science-fiction than the previous campy movies — and even Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. A really hard core serious approach with the Surfer would be out of this world.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21583:]]

Now a second potential villain named for the Fantastic Four sequel will be a little more difficult to use than the Silver Surfer. In the same interview, Michael B. Jordan, who plays Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, recommends Namor.

“Namor is a cool one,” Jordan said. “By far, he’s the strongest mutant. You know what I’m saying? Maybe not by far, but he’s the strongest mutant. It would be a pretty interesting battle, the Fantastic Four vs. Namor.”

The issue with Namor is that Fox Studios doesn’t own the rights to the character. Actually, both Universal Studios and Marvel Studios have their hands tied to the character, so unless both studios would agree to lend Fox Namor (which wouldn’t be unheard of as Sony and Marvel have come to a mutual deal for Spider-Man), The Sub-Mariner would be out of the question.

As Jordan notes, Namor has a history with the Fantastic Four, which would be pretty cool on the big screen if we did see the FF taking on Atlantis.

“The classic one where he’s running rampant and the only way he’ll stop is if he gets a kiss from Sue right in front of Reed. It’s awesome. I think that would make for a good movie and storyline.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21584:]]

“Fantastic Four” has an August 7, 2015 release directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank; produced by Matthew Vaughn, Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzar and Gregory Goodman; starring: Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell.

Synopsis:

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Live-Action Naruto Movie In The Works

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21580:]]

It’s learned Lionsgate is in negotiations for the rights to develop a live-action Naruto movie.

Lionsgate has already signed Michael Gracey to direct the adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series, which has seen numerous animated series.

Variety reports Avi Arad and his son Ari Arad are producing the live-action Naruto movie through Arad Productions; Erik Feig, Geoff Shaveitz and Kelly O’Malley will oversee for the studio.

Tracking Board first reported on the news and states the deal is in place.

Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve Hokage.

JJ Abrams Broke His Back Trying To Help Harrison Ford On Star Wars Set

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21579:]]

When Star Wars: The Force Awakens was filming, an accident occurred on set with the door of the Millennium Falcon crushing and injuring Harrison Ford.

Now it’s learned that Ford wasn’t the only casualty.

Director J.J. Abrams recently appeared on Jon Stewart where Stewart asked Abrams about the most recent Ford incident involving the air place crash. Abrams compared Ford to being a real life Marvel hero.

“The guy is like a real-life super hero,” Abrams said. “He should have the Marvel logo above his name.”

Abrams then recalled the Star Wars accident with Ford and the Millennium Falcon and let it be known he actually broke his back while attempting to help Ford.

“We actually were filming this scene and there was an accident on set. There was this hydraulic door that went down. He was pushed down and his ankle goes ninety degrees. He’s down there and he’s toughing it out. He’s a super human being. He’s literally lying there making jokes,” Abrams said. “This door had gone down, and I’m trying to help lift it up – because that’s the kind of guy I am. I’m trying to lift up this door and I feel this pop in my back. I’m like ‘Uh, that’s weird.’”

Abrams ended up going to the doctor a couple days later.

“[The Doctor] goes, ‘Oh you have a broken back,’” Abrams said. “I broke my L4 trying to lift this door.”

It turns out Abrams actually had to wear the brace longer than it took for Ford’s ankle to heal.

“A few months later I’m wearing this really silly back brace under my shirt. No one knows. I didn’t tell anyone, right. So I have this back brace on,” Abrams said. “Harrison Ford, from across the stage, sprints at me faster than I will ever run, and he’s like ‘hi, JJ,’ and I’m like ‘hi, Harrison ford,’ – oh, it hurts to talk that way – so I felt like the most nebbishy Jewish director ever.”

Abrams and Stewart continue with talk of how Ford is more than human.

“He’s a Miracle Man, and I’m like, ‘Excuse me, Mr. Darth Vader, could you be more evil?’” Abrams said.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Bruce Boxleitner Done With Tron; Doesn’t Want Reboots

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21569:]]

The third Tron movie was all set to start production this Fall, but then Disney abruptly cancelled the movie.

It’s not exactly known why Disney chose to cancel Tron 3, but it’s been said Disney may have gotten cold feet because of the poor reception to Tomorrowland, and that Disney wants to concentrate on their animated movies and big tentpole films.

Now Bruce Boxleitner, who starred in the two Tron movies as well as voiced his character in the Tron: Uprising animated series and the Tron 2.0 video game, has stated he is done with the franchise.

SlashFilm caught up with the actor at the recent Television Critics Association press event and asked if Disney decided to greenlight a third Tron, would he be back.

“I don’t really care anymore,” Boxleitner replied. “I’m done with it. I’ve moved on. I hate to say that but it’s been too up and down for me. I would rather not just keep going.”

Likewise, Boxleitner continued with mentioned he doesn’t want to be involved in reboots.

“I don’t want to repeat my career anymore,” he said. “That’d be like, ‘Let’s reboot Scarecrow and Mrs. King.’ No, I’m not interested. Or Babylon 5.”

Boxleitner continues with mention he thinks Disney doesn’t want to do science-fiction and wants to focus on movies such as Star Wars and Marvel.

“Obviously there’s something politically within but I know that they were in preproduction heavily. I know that the options for Olivia [Wilde] and Garrett [Hedlund] were picked up. That was all public knowledge, [reported in] The Hollywood Reporter. I’ve got a feeling they’re going to play it safe with their old [formula]. I mean, Tim Burton’s doing Dumbo. They’re going to make live-action out of their old animated classics. Apparently, that was successful. They also have Star Wars. Let’s not neglect that, and Marvel. Maybe they just felt they had enough of that sci-fi. We were the only real science fiction. Star Wars is fantasy, sword and sorcery fantasy with a spaceship. Marvel is superhero comics. Star Wars, yes, is science fiction. There’s fantasy elements as well, but Marvel is not. It’s comic books. It’s really not sci-fi. It’s not thinking science fiction. Maybe they decided they don’t want to do science fiction.”
