Updates From Deadpool 3, Avatar 3, and More

Hugh Jackman Says Wolverine Return in ‘Deadpool 3′ Involves Time Travel

Avatar 3

In conversation with Variety, Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Amanda Silver stated fans “can’t imagine” the different clans and worlds yet to be revealed in Avatar 3.

You have this kind of deeply relatable series of dynamics, inter-family, interpersonal, inter-clan, played out on these incredibly inflated scales of different worlds. The clans that you’re going to meet and the worlds that you’re going to find on Pandora — you can’t even imagine what they are. Just like the tulkun were a revelation for this movie, there’s lots more of that stuff to come. It’s incredibly exciting, the story that happens to the Sullys. You couldn’t predict it.

Evil Dead Rise

During a recent interview with Empire Magazine, director Lee Cronin revealed “6,500 litres” of fake blood were spilled in the making of Evil Dead Rise.

I had to hire an industrial kitchen to create the amount of blood we needed. When I was checking out, I had to warn the landlord, ‘You’re going to find bloody handprints all over the apartment – but they’re not real, honest!’

It Takes Two

Violent Night co-writer Josh Miller also spoke to Coming Soon about adapting It Takes Two into a feature film he describes as a cross between Liar Liar and Alice in Wonderland.

I mean, in some ways, it’s the fact that it’s so obvious — at least to us and all the people involved in making it — what the premise is. You don’t need your hot take on ‘how do you adapt It Takes Two?’ It’s basically a movie premise about two parents who are bickering, and their kid, Liar Liar-style, makes a wish and sends them on this big Toy Story meets Alice in Wonderland meets Wizard of Oz kind of adventure. Not to imply there aren’t hurdles since it is a video game that’s 16 hours of gameplay and you have to figure out how to turn that into a 100-minute movie. That was what first drew us to it.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Screenwriter Josh Miller compared Shadow the Hedgehog to characters like Worf and Drax during a recent interview with Coming Soon.

That was a big challenge with us and Jeff [Fowler] and Toby [Ascher], breaking the story for Sonic 3 and, obviously, they’ll murder us if we reveal too much, but with a character like Knuckles it very quickly was easy to see how we’d make Knuckles work so you can take him seriously, but he can also be funny since this is a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. You look to characters like Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation or Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s easier to wrap your head around that with Shadow, again, because he’s not really supposed to be that funny. I’m trying to think of what we can say since we can’t reveal anything.
