NEWS UPDATE: New Release Dates, Friday the 13th Reboot, Kubrik's Napoleon, Quentin Tarantino's Next Film

A bunch of new release dates have been announced today:

• Duncan Jones' "Warcraft" movie will be released on March 11, 2016. The release date has been moved from December 18, 2015, because "Star Wars: Episode VII" will be released on that day and it's quite obvious who would come out a winner from that face off.
  
  
• Universal Pictures' remake of "The Mummy" will be released on April 22, 2016. The remake will be directed by Andy Muschietti ("Mama"), produced by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci ("Star Trek") and written by Jon Spaihts ("Prometheus").
  
  
• Director Rob Cohen's "The Boy Next Door", a psychological thriller starring Jennifer Lopez, will be released on January 23, 2015.

This bit of news also qualifies as a release date update, but it's something that deserves a little more writing space. Paramount Pictures has decided that the release date for a new "Friday the 13th" reboot should be March 13, 2015. This would be the 13th installment in the horror franchise. The series has been rebooted before in 2009 by producers Sean S. Cunningham, director of the original, and Michael Bay. While the idea of a second reboot might sound dumb, it's actually something which was expected due to the fact that Paramount picked up the full rights for the Friday the 13th franchise from Warner Bros. in exchange for Warner getting in on "Interstellar", Christopher Nolan's new sci-fi flick. Here is the official announcement which came via Twitter:

"Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice
Paramount sets FRIDAY THE 13th for March 13, 2015. Not a sequel to the reboot, mind you, another reboot entirely.

Earlier this year it was announced that Steven Spielberg would be picking up Stanley Kubrick's long-developed project, a "Napoleon" biopic, and that the director intends on developing it as a miniseries for HBO. Now it seems that Spielberg and HBO are interested in letting Baz Luhrmann direct it. Luhrmann, whose work includes films like "Romeo + Juliet", "Moulin Rouge" and this year's "The Great Gatsby", seems like an interesting choice and HBO will surely provide a considerable budget for the project. This isn't the only Napoleon Bonaparte project out there. Warner Bros. is also producing a biopic which will be directed by Rupert Sanders ("Snow White and the Huntsman").

Quentin Tarantino has revealed in an interview that his next project will be another Western, but not a sequel to "Django Unchained". The filmmaker had previously stated his intention of creating a "rewritten history" trilogy which would include Django and "Inglorious Basterds". Also, it seems that Tarantino is almost finished writing the script, so we should find out pretty soon what the movie will be about.

"I haven’t told anyone this publicly, but I will say the genre: It’s a western. I had so much fun doing Django, and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it’s like 'OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I’m doing'."

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST - JFK Mutant Conspiracy Theory Clip

Still wondering who killed JFK ? Apparently, it was Magneto. A new clip that is part of the viral campaign for Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" presents the conspiracy theory according to which Magneto was behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and was in fact guiding the projectile that would later be known as the "bent bullet". Don't worry, there's actually more to it. In fact, it seems that Trask Industries has manipulated Mystique and convinced her to kill President Kennedy and Magneto was actually there to stop her. You can find all this and more on the viral website created for the movie "The Bent Bullet".

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Peter Dinklage, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Omar Sy and Halle Berry.

NEWS UPDATE: Alice in Wonderland 2, Emily Blunt, Road House Remake, Duncan Jones

Disney has announced the release date for the sequel to Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland". The fantasy film will open in theaters on May 27, 2016. "The Muppets" director James Bobin will replace Burton for the sequel and the script is being written by Linda Woolverton ("Maleficent", "The Lion King"). Mia Wasikowska will reprise the role of Alice and Johnny Depp will also return as the Mad Hatter. "Alice in Wonderland 2" is still in pre-production, so that's all we know, for know.

---

Emily Blunt ("Looper") is set to star in the psychological thriller "Sister". The film is based on Rosamund Lupton's bestselling (aren't they all) novel "Sister". Blunt will play a woman who "investigates the death of her younger sister Tess, whose death is ruled a suicide by police. Convinced that her sister was murdered, Beatrice sets out to uncover the strange events leading up to Tess’ death, though she may pay a terrible price for the truth." The producers are currently looking for a writer to adapt the book.

Director Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious", "Alex Cross") has been tapped to direct a remake of the 1989 movie "Road House" for MGM. The original starred Patrick Swayze and Kelly Lynch. Swayze played a tough as nails bouncer with a mysterious past who is hired to tame a dirty bar in Missouri. The screenplay for the remake has been written by Michael Stokes ("Iron Eagle IV"). While "Road House" did manage to gather a cult following over the years, I doubt it's going to make a serious impact at the box-office, especially considering MGM's other remake this year, "Carrie" which was based on an even more popular film and a Stephen King novel and it still tanked, and during the Halloween week, no less. So, I really think MGM should be a little more cautious about these remakes.

---

"Warcraft" director Duncan Jones ("Moon") has dropped out of the Ian Fleming biopic which was supposed to start production last year. The film, titled "Fleming" seems to have hit a bump, and Jones was unable to remain on the project considering he will begin filming on the "Warcraft" adaptation in January 2014. "Fleming" is based on Andrew Lycett’s biography of Ian Fleming, and it's supposed to explore the author's life as a true international spy. The producers are currently searching for a replacement director.

Weekend Box-Office Report: THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE, DELIVERY MAN

As expected, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" stormed the box-office this weekend and managed to break a record in the process. The sequel opened with an estimated $161 million, beating the first film's $152 million debut and it is currently the highest grossing November debut of all time, ahead of the $142 million grossed by "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in its opening weekend. As far as general opening weekend rankings go, "Catching Fire" is the fourth biggest debut, surpassed only by "The Avengers" ($207 million), "Iron Man 3" ($174 million) and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" ($169 million), films which also benefited from the higher prices of the 3D tickets. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" also performed well overseas, grossing an additional $146 million, which adds up to a worldwide total of $307 million, already close to half of the first film's worldwide total of $691 million.

The Vince Vaughn comedy "Delivery Man" failed to generate much resistance against "Catching Fire". The film opened in fourth place, grossing only $8 million and becoming yet another box-office underperformer for the actor who has not been able to score another hit since 2009's "Couples Retreat".

More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.

A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 Trailer & Poster - Marlon Wayans, Gabriel Iglesias

The teaser trailer and poster for the comedy sequel "A Haunted House 2" have been released. The film is a spoof of the "Paranormal Activity" franchise and similar horror flicks. Judging from this trailer I believe they are also taking aim at 2012's "Sinister" which starred Ethan Hawke. The plot here is simple enough. The protagonist of the first film, played by Marlon Wayans, moves into a new house, only to discover that this one is haunted as well.

The film also stars Gabriel Iglesias, Jamie Pressly, Essence Atkins, Affion Crockett, Dave Sheridan and Ashley Rickards.

"A Haunted House 2" opens in theaters on March 28, 2014.

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY - First Movie Clip

The first movie clip for the drama "August: Osage County" has been released today. The film is an adaptation of Pulitzer and Tony-winning play written by Tracy Letts.

The cast also includes Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Margot Martindale, Chris Cooper, Dermot Mulroney, Juliette Lewis, Abigail Breslin and Sam Shepard.

"August: Osage County" will open in theaters on December 25th.

NEWS UPDATE: Colin Firth, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Purge 2, Insidious: Chapter 3

Colin Firth ("The King's Speech") will star in an adaptation of Jean-Patrick Manchette's noir novel "Three to Kill". The adaptation will be directed by Christopher McQuarrie ("Jack Reacher", "The Usual Suspects") who is also set to begin shooting "Mission: Impossible 5" in February 2014. Firth will star as a "disillusioned businessman witnesses a murder and finds himself being hunted by two relentless sociopaths". For more details, here is the book's synopsis:

"Businessman Georges Gerfaut witnesses a murder—and is pursued by the killers. His conventional life knocked off the rails, Gerfaut turns the tables and sets out to track down his pursuers. Along the way, he learns a thing or two about himself…. Manchette—masterful stylist, ironist, and social critic—limns the cramped lives of professionals in a neo-conservative world."

A release date has been announced for "Mad Max: Fury Road". The new installment in the post-apocalyptic franchise is set to open in theaters on May 15, 2015. The film has been a very long time in the making and it has been shooting for about three years. "Fury Road" will be directed by George Miller who has also directed the previous three Mad Max movies, and the cast includes Tom Hardy ("The Dark Knight Rises") as the new Max, Nicholas Hoult ("X-Men: First Class"), Charlize Theron ("Monster") and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ("Transformers: Dark of the Moon").

Universal Pictures has announced the release date for the sequel to the hit home-invasion horror "The Purge". The sequel will hit theaters on June 20, 2014. The decision to make the sequel came immediately after "The Purge" grossed $34 million in its opening weekend versus a budget of $3 million. The new installment will be produced by the first film's writer/director James DeMonaco and co-producer Michael Bay. "The Purge" starred Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, and I'm curious to see if the sequel will pick up the story with the same characters, or at least what's left of them, or if they'll go for a different set of characters for a new Purge day.

And, last but definitely not least, the third installment in the "Insidious" series also has an official release date. "Insidious: Chapter 3" will be released on April 3, 2015. The sequel's script will once again be penned by Leigh Whannell ("Saw"). Director James Wan who had great success with both films in the franchise and scored another huge hit with this year's haunted house horror "The Conjuring" has expressed his desire to try out other genres for a change. In fact, he is currently working on "Fast & Furious 7", so it's possible that he won't return to helm the new sequel.
