MONDAY, JUNE 9
ANT-MAN---Peyton Reed (YES MAN) replaces Edgar Wright as director. Adam McKay (ANCHORMAN) will rewrite the original script. Reportedly, the two candidates for DOCTOR STRANGE are Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch.
JOHN CARTER---director/co-writer Andrew Stanton tweeted that he was working on two sequels to the original movie. He tweeted about GODS OF MARS, "Could have been cool. Had big plans,,," and commented on WARLORD OF MARS, "That would have led to even bigger plans." He also posted logos for the sequels.
TOP 10 SCI FI---astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who had negative comments about the scientific accuracy of GRAVITY, listed his Top 10 Sci Fi movies.
1. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (original)
2. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
3. PLANET OF THE APES (original)
4. THE TERMINATOR
5. THE QUIET EARTH
6. CONTACT
7. DEEP IMPACT
8. THE MATRIX
9. THE ISLAND
10. WATCHMEN
11. BLADE RUNNER (honorable mention)
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5---Jeremy Renner confirmed he's returning for the latest sequel and denied he's available for TRUE DETECTIVE, "It's kind of unlikely. In fact, I'm kind of strapped time-wise doing AVENGERS 2, and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5 is rearing its head, and then they want to do another Bourne movie. It's unlikely I can find the time right now."
TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.---William Friedkin (THE EXORCIST, THE FRENCH CONNECTION) said tv series are underway based on two of his movies, "MGM is trying to develop a television series on TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA. It won't be that story at all, but it will be that vibe." Friedkin will have approval on the scripts and may direct the pilot. The second is KILLER JOE, "It will not be the same story, but it will be very edgy, not unlike FARGO."
PACIFIC RIM 2---Guillermo del Toro said he and Zak Penn (X-MEN: THE LAST STAND) are writing a sequel script, but it hasn't been approved by a studio, "I'm working very, very hard with Zak Penn. We've been working for a few months now in secret. We found a way to twist it around. Travis Beacham (co-writer of the original movie) was involved in the storyline and now I'm writing with Zak because Travis has become a TV mogul."
THE RETURNED---Mary Elizabeth Winstead (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD) will co-star in this A&E series set in a small town where several long-dead residents suddenly reappear.
ONCE UPON A TIME---the Snow Queen, Anna and Kristoff from FROZEN will appear in Season 4.
WHITNEY HOUSTON---Yaya DaCosta will star in this Lifetime tv biomovie with Angela Bassett as director.

JOHN CARTER???
SEQUELS????
Just how definite is this? (I fear Mr. Stanton may have been discussing his previously proposed trilogy, come to naught with the lack of success of the first one.... Oh well.)
