NEWS UPDATE : Jurassic Park 4 and Captain America 2 Updates, Finding Nemo 2 and Robin Williams is Back



"Jurassic Park 4" is taking great leaps forward, according to producer Frank Marshall. Last week, screenwriters Amanda Silver & Rick Jaffa ("Rise of the Planet of the Apes") were brought onboard to pen the script and now Marshall has stated in an interview that the movie will be "on the screen within two years." He also went on to say that it's definitely going to be a sequel, not a reboot, or remake and that he was really excited about using the new advances in visual effects technology for the new movie : "That’s what’s gonna be great about it, technology’s taken a leap now that we can really do some great things". Earlier this year it was confirmed that Steven Spielberg will not return to direct, so they'll also have to figure out who to place at the helm of the franchise.



Among the many reveals at this year's Comic-Con, there were also some interesting details about the Captain America sequel. First of all, the movie is going to be called "Captain America : The Winter Soldier". Secondly, you can see below the new logo title. Chris Evans is confirmed to return as the protagonist and Anthony Mackie ("The Hurt Locker") may also be cast as Falcon, "one of mainstream comics’ first black superheroes and perhaps its first American one." So far, Marvel is keeping the lid on many of the movie's juicier details. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be released on April 4, 2014.




Director Andrew Stanton ("WALL·E", "Finding Nemo") is returning to Pixar after failing at the box-office with his live-action debut, the sci-fi epic "John Carter". Stanton is officially hired to direct "Finding Nemo 2", Pixar's sequel to the 2003 megahit which earned more than $850 million dollars worldwide. On September 14, "Finding Nemo" will be re-released in 3D.



After a lengthy absence from major big screen projects Robin Williams has two new projects lined up for 2013. The first one is director Lee Daniels' drama "The Butler", in which Williams will play President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the second is "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn", a comedy directed by Phil Alden Robinson ("Field of Dreams") which also stars Mila Kunis and Peter Dinklage. He will also play a supporting role in the upcoming 2012 comedy "The Big Wedding" which stars Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton and Katherine Heigl. Here is the official press release with additional details about these two movies :
"Robin Williams is set to begin production on two major film projects in the coming months.

The Academy Award winner has been cast as ‘President Dwight D. Eisenhower’ in Lee Daniel’s “The Butler”, joining an ensemble that includes Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Vanessa Redgrave, Terrence Howard, John Cusack, Alan Rickman, Jane Fonda and Colman Domingo, among others.

Scheduled to begin shooting later this month in New Orleans, the film is based on the life of Eugene Allen, a White House servant who worked for eight First Families over three decades. Danny Strong wrote the script with Daniels based on Wil Haygood’s Washington Post article about Allen. The film will be produced by Daniels with Hilary Shor, Cassian Elwes and Pam Williams for Laura Zisken Productions.

Additionally, Williams has officially signed on to star in the comedy, “The Angriest Man In Brooklyn,” opposite Mila Kunis, Peter Dinklage, Melissa Leo and James Earl Jones.

The film is the story of a stand-in doctor who mistakenly tells an obnoxious patient he has 90 minutes to live. The medic tries desperately to locate the man after her comments sends him on a contrite tour of the city to right all the wrongs in his life.

Phil Alden Robinson will direct from a screenplay by Daniel Taplitz. Landscape’s Bob Cooper and Tyler Mitchell are producing with Daniel J Walker. Jean-Charles Levy serves as executive producer.

Production is set to kick off in September in Brooklyn, New York."
