Bryld shot "In Bruges," "The Holdovers" and "House of Cards." That seems like the right fit for what is a smaller, character-driven crime story, and a change of pace for McQuarrie after years of stunt-heavy theatrics.
Right now, the cleanest path is to let Reeves finish his trilogy and bring in the new guy once the dust has settled. Gunn clearly hasn’t gotten the memo.
Taylor Russell has joined Brady Corbet's "The Origin of the World." She is now part of an already impressive cast which includes Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Selena Gomez, Lily McInerny and Joe Alwyn.
Now this is a package. Armando Iannucci will write and direct a new film headed to the market, with James McAvoy, Alicia Vikander and Taron Egerton set to star. None of the three has worked with Iannucci before.
This year’s 12th edition of the Scary Movies festival at Film at Lincoln Center premiered Ari Aster’s extended version of “Midsommar” this past Saturday.
EDIT: Production Weekly has updated the Aster project. It’s still seems to be happening, but now they have Emma Stone and Christopher Abbott as “mentioned for roles”:
A production listing inside this past Wednesday’s issue of Production Weekly has an “Untitled Ari Aster Project” currently in active development. Emma Stone and Christopher Abbott’s names are rumored to be part of the project as well, with A24 producing. Aster already has “Beau is Afraid” being released this coming April.
Of course, we all know the rule: take these reactions with a grain of salt rather than treating them as gospel. Still, I will say that the film tested like gangbusters earlier this year, and Lionsgate clearly has confidence.
