Thanks to Collider’s own Steve Frosty Weintraub, sources for him reveal that Lucasfilm has decided to put their plans for more A Star Wars Story spinoff movies on hold, instead opting to focus their attention on Star Wars: Episode IX and what the next trilogy of Star Wars films will be after that film. Sources tell us that the previously rumored Obi-Wan movie was in active development, but those who were working on the film are no longer involved. It was recently reported that Logan filmmaker James Mangold was in early talks to write and direct the Boba Fett film, but that was before Solo’s release.
Thanks to The Terminator Fans, we have our first look at Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner from the upcoming Terminator 6, directed by Deadpool helmer Tim Miller, produced by series creator James Cameron. The movie will act as a sort of retcon, with it rumored to take place after Cameron’s T2 Judgement Day, effectively ignoring the events of Rise of the Machines, Salvation and Genysis. It is slated for release on November 22, 2019.
Universal Pictures released the first trailer for Oscar-winning Forrest Gump and Back to the Future filmmaker Robert Zemeckis’ new film Welcome to Marwen. Based on the documentary Marwencol by Jeff Malmberg, the film stars Steve Carell as a man who loses most of his memory after being beaten nearly to death. Unable to afford therapy, he begins building a 1/6-scale World War II-era Belgian town in his yard, populating it with dolls that represent himself, his friends, and even his attackers. Welcome to Marwen opens in theaters on November 21st.
THR reports that Paramount is developing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, hiring Andrew Dodge, the writer of the Jason Bateman comedy Bad Words, to pen the script. Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce the feature via their Platinum Dunes banner. The company was behind A Quiet Place, however, there’s no word on whether this is a new incarnation or a third movie in the recently rebooted TMNT franchise.
