Foster

Blue Sky Studios has hired Karen Disher to co-direct their first animated musical with Peanuts director Steve Martino. The story concerns a young fantasy fan disappointed by the ending of his favourite YA series who drags the author into a world of his own creation. [/Film]

All-Female Marvel Movie

Speaking with IGN, Tessa Thompson revealed Marvel is “interested” in producing her hopes for a team-up movie featuring the MCU’s beloved cast of female heroes.

I think [Marvel boss] Kevin Feige is really excited by the idea, and if you look at what’s happened already in Phase 4 with me and [Thompson’s character] Valkyrie and our story, and then in Black Panther the women rule supreme. There’s an interest – they’re doing Captain Marvel, they’re doing a Black Widow – there’s an interest in having women at the forefront of this phase. I feel like it’s hopeful, who knows.

The Billion Brick Race

According to a recent Facebook post, director Jorge R. Gutierrez has officially left the LEGO Movie spinoff.

I would like to publicly and from the bottom of my heart thank everyone I worked with at Briksburg, LEGO and WAG. These last 9 months were a rollercoaster of thrills to say the least. I met so many amazing new people and learned a ton from all these incredible artists, directors, writers, editors, producers and execs. I leave a better filmmaker and it’s because of you all. May our paths cross again. Gracias mis amigos. And as I toasted on my first day there, “May we slip n slide on the blood of our enemies!!!”

Overlord

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, J.J. Abrams boasted what is likely to be the fourth Cloverfield as a “really crazy movie”.

Overlord… first of all, it’s something that I can’t wait for you to see ’cause the director, Julius Avery, has done an amazing job on it. But the specifics, you know, we should wait and see. But that’s really a crazy movie.

New Mutants

Speaking with Collider, Maisie Williams stated she believes “it’s for the better” New Mutants has been delayed.

Well, it was always a really quick turn around, and there was always battles of how they were going to manage it. We finished in September and they were going to release in April and there’s – it’s a mutant film, there’s a lot of effects. There’s a lot of work that goes into the movie. They really make the movie after we finish shooting, so there was always kind of a bit nervous, really. I know how long this sort of thing takes on Game of Thrones and I know the work that they want to put in is – it’s a huge job. Actually, I think it’s for the better. I think it’s good that we’ve got more time. We’re not so strapped and up against it.

A new featurette focuses on the film’s female-lead cast.

Doctor Who
