INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY: Ford Whips Up The Sixties In The First Teaser Trailer!

It’ll be one last hoorah for at least one relic of the Golden Age of Hollywood with actor Harrison Ford closing the book on the title character for the long-celebrated Indiana Jones franchise. For this, we turn to Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny, from Logan and 3:10 To Yuma helmer James Mangold this time around, and with none other than John Rhys-Davies reprising his role from the 1981 and 1989 installments.

Boba Fett Spin-Off Confirmed In STAR WARS Franchise With James Mangold To Direct

Disney/Lucasfilm

I actually thought that a Boba Fett film spin-off was already in the works as Disney Lucasfilm was ramping up a new slate of Star Wars IP long prior to The Force Awakens. I suppose it took all this time to make it official and now it is, courtesy of an exclusive at Borys Kit’s Heat Vision column at THR on Thursday.

This update came hours before the official theatrical release of Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, and with even more movies and television content getting new life at the studio. What’s more is that James Mangold is up to write and direct the film per the studio’s on-going process of developing non-canonical films focused on specific characters in the Star Wars universe, including recently announced films surrounding Lando Calrissian (previously played by Billy Dee Williams and succeeded this weekend by Donald Glover in an origin capacity) and a much hyped-about Obi-Wan Kenobi film with respect to rumors we’ve been hearing in what feels like forever.

Jeremy Bulloch played the character originally within the first trilogy, primarily dating back to Episode V while his character has been further explored in the prequels as well as in book based on the space opera.

Admittedly, I’ve been getting fatigued by Star Wars lately, so I’m not too heavily invested like the average fan. I suppose the driving force behind this one is the ceremomy Mangold garnered with last year’s celebrated R-rated comic book spectacle, Logan, which otherwise means we’ll possibly still enjoy that level of reverence but with a rollback no less to PG-13 territory. I’m down.

DISORDER: ‘Logan’ Helmer James Mangold Circling To Direct Sony’s French Thriller Remake

Taylor Sheridan is off to a terrific summer start after winning the Un Certain Regard director prize at Cannes last month for his sophmore directing gig, Wind River, which is currently housed at The Weinstein Company. The celebrated screenwriter of other hit films like Hell Or High Water, or Sicario and its upcoming sequel, Soldado, isn’t going to sit still for very long as it is now being reported that his script remaking the 2015 Alice Winocour-directed/co-written French thriller, Disorder (a.k.a. Maryland) has finally landed a director in Logan helmer James Mangold.
The original saw actor Matthias Schoenaerts as Vincent, a PSTD survivor and former solider home from Afghanistan whose new line of work pits him against an unverified threat while protecting the wife of a rich businessman (Diane Kruger) in France. As Deadline reports, Sheridan’s script, in a rare departure from original material, used Winocour’s film as a starting point and applied several alterations to the story – setting the story on the Spanish island of Majorca, changing the solider’s affliction and adding a love story to boot – to earn the script’s standing as a potential franchise vehicle.
Escape Artists’s own Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Tony Shaw are producing the film as initially reported late last year. David Beaubaire is overseeing the production for Sony with plans for Mangold to look over the script together and hopefully get cameras rolling before 2018.

LOGAN Is Coming To Theaters In Black And White On May 16

“…There’s the story of the tragic hero looking back on his life, marking this the first superhero film to examine the consequences of superheroing. There’s the story of a lifelong friendships coming around to its final curtain, a friendship that has grown, as many do, into a filial bond. And there is the story of Logan and Laura. One of subtle humor and a heartbreak, an arc that will take you by the throat and drag you uncounted miles in the mud. And you’ll be grateful for it, as was I.”

Review: More Than The Hype It Lives Up To, LOGAN Is A Superhero Movie With Tact And Soul

You don’t usually go into a superhero movie expecting an emotionally taxing experience, but all of the promotional marketing for Logan warned us leading up to its release to expect exactly that. In Logan, James Mangold’s follow up to his notable though flawed 2013 outing The Wolverine, we’re shown a senile Professor Charles Xavier devoid of dignity and his usual poise. We’re treated to an alcoholic, time-battered Wolverine. And we’re told a story based on a comic that stands out for its bleakness. But that’s the thing, many comic book fans don’t love them for their stories, they love them for their spectacle.
