The Standalone Flash Movie Is Getting A Name Change

Wonder Woman 2

During her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony, Lynda Carter told Variety she still isn’t sure whether she has a role in Wonder Woman 2.

I’m just going to leave it up to the universe and Patty.


Armada

Deadline reports a film adaptation of Ernest Cline’s Armada is in the works at Universal Pictures following the success of Ready Player One. Dan Mazeau is writing the screenplay.


Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro and Fox Searchlight have signed an overall deal for a new label that will produce live-action sci-fi, horror and fantasy films. del Toro stated in a press release:

For the longest time, I’ve hoped to find an environment in which I can distribute, nurture and produce new voices in smart, inventive genre films and channel my own. In Fox Searchlight, I’ve found a real home for live action production – a partnership based on hard work, understanding of each other and, above all, faith. After the wonderful experience I had with Fox Searchlight on “The Shape of Water”, I am honored to have the opportunity to continue the relationship. I am more than grateful to Nancy, Steve, David and Matthew for their trust in me and for joining me on this adventure.


Saw 9

Bloody Disgusting reports Jigsaw writers Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg are now hard at work on ninth film in the Saw franchise.


Avengers: Infinity War

The Russo’s have released a message kindly asking fans not to spoil Infinity War for those who haven’t seen it, ahead of the film’s press tour.

Meanwhile, composer Alan Silvestri revealed to THR he’s finished the film’s score, but is “still shaking” from the music’s “quick shifts in tone”.

It’s funny because I feel like everything is still shaking… the dust hasn’t quite settled just yet. I wrapped Infinity War yesterday, and it was a really different experience than anything I’d done before, especially in regard to the approach and balancing quick shifts in tone.
