Warner Bros. Looking for MAN OF STEEL Sequel Screenwriter?
I know what you think – Man of Steel sequel already? Yeah, it looks there’s no time to waste in Hollywood these days, and guys from Warner Bros. know that!
So, they’re already looking for a sequel screenwriter and of course, we have a small list of contenders for that (obviously) great job – Steve Kloves, Travis Beacham and Lawrence Kasdan!
We’re sure you’re familiar with their work, but still, let us remind you that Kloves is a man behind all Harry Potter movies except Order of the Phoenix, Beacham is well known for the Clash of the Titans title, while Kasdan is responsible for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sounds interesting, right?
David Yates to Direct The Stand
If I was David Yates, I would pack my bags and go somewhere far, far away! Because then I would know that I’m the man responsible for one of the most successful film franchises in history (Harry Potter) so, logically, I deserve a vacation.
Yeah, I know you’d do anything to get rid of me, but I’m not going anywhere because, unfortunately, I’m not David Yates.
And, Mr. Yates is unstoppable. And he will team up with screenwriter Steve Kloves (who, in case you have no idea, wrote every Harry Potter film except Order of the Phoenix) to adapt Stephen King’s novel The Stand.
Ok, nothing new in here, but this definitely looks huge. And what’s most important, Warner Bros is in the process of finalizing the deals for Yates and Kloves to re-team for a multi-movie version of Stephen King’s epic that goes like this:
“This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people.
Final Harry Potter Premiere Set to be Most Spectacular Yet
Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that the world premiere of the final instalment of the Harry Potter film series, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – Part 2, will take place in London’s Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square on 7th July 2011.
This will be the first red carpet film premiere event in Trafalgar Square, the instantly recognisable landmark providing the iconic backdrop for one of the biggest film premieres to ever take place in the capital.
The cast, filmmakers and guests attending the final Harry Potter premiere will begin the night on the red carpet in Trafalgar Square with the world’s media in attendance. Special areas will be reserved within the square for fans and competition winners from all over the world to see the actors and creators of some of the most beloved characters of all time. Cast and guests will then make their way to Leicester Square’s cinemas to watch the film.
Harry Potter Screenwriter Steve Kloves Taking Over Akira
Warner Bros. has been recruited Harry Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves to refine a script for the Hughes Brothers’ adaptation of the Japanese manga epic Akira.
Albert Hughes is directing “Akira,” based on Katsuhiro Otomo‘s graphic novel placed in a post-apocalyptic Japan. Warner purchased the “Akira” rights three years ago from publisher Kodansha and share it with Andrew Lazar‘s ‘Mad Chance,’ ‘Appian Way’s’ Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson ‘Killoran.’ Albert Hughes and his brother, Allen Hughes (The Book of Eli, From Hell) will also co-produce.
If you are not familiar with this manga, the story centers on teenager Shōtarō Kaneda, a child with immense psychic powers and his mission to stop his friend Tetsuo from demolishing a Neo-Tokyo. According to Variety, the latest version of the script was written by Albert Torres (Henry Poole Is Here). Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby and Gary Whitta wrote in an early draft. As Kloves has done good work on the Harry Potter franchise, writing all of them except for Order of the Phoenix, he seems the right man to undertake a portion to compress the six-volume manga into a live-action feature film.
