Disney/Pixar Onward.

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

Jada Pinkett Smith is in talks to return for Matrix 4. I would love it if they could get as much of the old cast back as poss. I would love it if they could also do some flashbacks with Morpheus.

Because of it's relatively low budget and commercial success Joker is set it become one of the most profitable comic book movies ever; https://variety.com/2019/film/box-of...ie-1203377839/ (obviously behind Infinity War)

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. This month's issue of SFX has got lots of free huge (A1) posters included with it. There is Star Wars, Dr Who, Expanse, Star Trek, Batwoman and The Flash. Just wanted to let you know in case you like collecting these things (I do :) )

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

Disney has release some preliminary artwork for Avatar 2. It looks amazing and I really wish I could watch it now. It is still pretty much a whole 2 years away :(

This film seems to have been delayed a eternity already.

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

yeah and I fear it is going to be to its detriment. I appreciate from a logistics point of view that it was easier for them to film three films at the same time but from an audience point of view we really needed them doing one at a time so we could have a film every three years and keep us invested in the story. If Avatar 2 flops after such a long break then releasing 3 and 4 in consecutive years is going to be pointless. I hope I am wrong though, I absolutely loved the first one and I am sure the second one is going to be awesome as well. I can't wait to go back to Pandora in 3D.

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

I'll update the movie schedule thread when I have got a confirmed date but James Bond: No Time To Die which was due to be released in April has been delayed until November due to Coronavirus.

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

Some revised release dates.

Paramount Pictures has set new release dates for the films they had postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Top Gun: Maverick was to have opened June 24 but will now hit theaters December 23 instead.

A Quiet Place: Part II, which was postponed just a week before it was to have opened March 20, will now open September 4, 2020.

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge On The Run has shifted from its original May 22 release date to July 31.

Finally, The Tomorrow War -- a sci-fi/action movie starring Chris Pratt -- had been scheduled to open Dec. 25 but is now unscheduled.

Paramount's G.i. Joe spin-off Snake Eyes remains scheduled for release on October 23. The August release of Mark Wahlberg sci-fi/action film Infinite appears unchanged as of right now.

Re: Movie news, trivia and other snippets

I'll go down the list and update everything once the lockdown is lifted. I started updating dates when they began delaying everything but some of those films have changed again and it wouldn't surprise if they bang stuff like Top Gun back to next spring because it is hardly a xmas film.

“Black Widow” — which was delayed last month — will now open on Nov. 6, 2020, taking the place of fellow Marvel adventure “The Eternals.” That shift pushed back most impending installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will now launch as follows: “The Eternals” on Feb. 12, 2021, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” on May 7, 2021, “Doctor Strange 2” on Nov. 5, 2021 and “Thor: Love and Thunder” on Feb. 18, 2022. “Black Panther 2” will still debut on May 6, 2022, while “Captain Marvel 2” has been set for July 8, 2022.

The studio’s live-action remake of “Mulan” has been pushed to July 24, 2020, opening on the date previously occupied by “Jungle Cruise.” ...

... “Jungle Cruise,” a family film starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, will bow on July 20, 2021, roughly a year later than expected. Down the road, Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones 5,” initially set for summer of 2021, launches on July 29, 2022.

Sci-fi fantasy film “Artemis Fowl,” which was supposed to open on May 29, will instead debut on Disney Plus, making it the studio’s first film to entirely skip its theatrical release.

For now, Disney is keeping release dates for Pixar’s “Soul” (June 19), “West Side Story” (Dec. 18) and “The Last Duel” (Dec. 25).

Other shake-ups to Disney’s release calendar include Ryan Reynolds’ “Free Guy,” an action comedy from its 20th Century banner, which has moved from Aug. 3, 2020 to Dec. 11, 2020. Elsewhere, Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” from Searchlight, shifted from Aug. 24, 2020 to Oct. 16, 2020.
