Warner Bros. is hoping to move forward with a sequel to 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise.

On Jan. 9, 2024, Cruise partnered with Warner Bros. in a deal that will see develope, produce, and lead “original and franchise theatrical films” starting in 2024.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy are both hoping that one of these projects will be Edge of Tomorrow 2, a sequel to the film that Cruise starred in alongside Emily Blunt.

“De Luca and Abdy have also hoped to lure Cruise back for a follow-up to the 2104 film Edge of Tomorrow, which the studio already had in development before they took over,” the article states. “(The well-reviewed picture, which cost $175 million, only grossed a disappointing $370.5 million but developed a cult fan base after its release. McQuarrie said in 2014 that Cruise had an idea for a prequel; director Doug Liman said it would be better than the original).”

What happened with the planned Edge of Tomorrow sequel?

Liman initially announced that he had signed on to direct a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow, written by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, in 2016. 

He said at the time, via Collider, “I’ve had some radical ideas about how to make a sequel that would interest me, in the same way that I had ideas of how you make an independent film and then Swingers came along and it was like ‘Aha, that’s the perfect movie for me to test these ideas out on.’ I had these intellectual ideas on how you should make a sequel that are unlike how anybody else makes a sequel, and this script and this idea fit perfectly into that idea. So it’s gonna revolutionize how people make sequels. And again that’s why I try to do things like Invisible that are just, the revolution’s sort of built into the idea. It’s more heresy in the film world for me to pitch things that are sort of unheard of.”

The project suffered from a number of delays since then caused by the actors’ schedules and the COVID-19 pandemic; however, both Cruise and Blunt have spoken about their desire to still return for a sequel should the proper stars align.

Wes Anderson’s new movie will reportedly star Bill Murray.

According to World of Reel, Murray and Anderson will reunite on Anderson’s next film, which is reportedly expected to begin filming in April 2024.

Anderson and Murray have worked together a number of times in the past, including on titles such as 1998’s Rushmore, 2001’s The Royal Tenenbaums, 2004’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, 2007’s The Darjeeling Limited, 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2012’s Moonrise Kingdom, 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, 2018’s Isle of Dogs, and 2021’s The French Dispatch.

What else do we know about Wes Anderson’s new movie?

A separate World of Reel article says that the film may have a possible working title of “The Pheonican Scheme.” While plot details remain under wraps at this time, Anderson has previously referred to his new movie as an “espionage” thriller that deals with a father-daughter relationship.

Speaking with Deadline in September 2023, Anderson said he had just finished writing the script for his new movie when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) began in May 2023. “Well, before the Writer’s Guild strike began, we had just finished a script,” he said. “Roman Coppola and I had been working on a script. So, when the time is right again, we’ve got a movie to make with Benicio Del Toro.”

Anderson also revealed that Arrested Development and Barbie’s Michael Cera will play a role in this film. “Well, you know, we have Michael Cera,” he said. “He’s one of the other characters in this new story. And he’s somebody I probably met, I think, close to 20 years ago. At least 18 years ago, something like that. I met him with Harvey Keitel, so it must have been 2008 or something. But, anyway, Michael Cera. That’s one.”

A release date for Anderson’s new movie has not yet been set.

Willem Dafoe thinks it’s harder for audiences to watch “challenging” films on streaming services compared to in a movie theater.

Speaking with The Guardian, Dafoe spoke on how streaming services’ rise has led to more people watching “something stupid” at home rather than going out to the theater to see something a bit more challenging.

“The kind of attention that people give at home isn’t the same,” Dafoe said. “More difficult movies, more challenging movies can not do as well, when you don’t have an audience that’s really paying attention. That’s a big thing. I miss the social thing of where movies fit in the world. You go see a movie, you go out to dinner, you talk about it later, and that spreads out. People now go home, they say, ‘Hey, honey, let’s watch something stupid tonight,’ and they flip through and they watch five minutes of 10 movies, and they say, forget it, let’s go to bed. Where’s that discourse found?”

Willem Dafoe on Hollywood studios: ‘They aren’t making movies the same way they used to’

He added about the way that major Hollywood studios currently operate, “They aren’t making movies the same way they used to. They’re being financed by toy companies and other entities, and they become the vehicle to make the movies, because they know how to do that. Streaming, they’re becoming like a monopoly, they have the means of production and distribution. And so it’s very complicated.”

Dafoe has starred in a wide range of big-budget blockbusters (including 2002’s Spider-Man, 2012’s John Carter, and 2018’s Aquaman) and smaller, independent films like 2018’s At Eternity’s Gate and 2020’s Siberia. 

Following his recent 2023 performances in movies such as Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, he’s now set to star in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2, which releases in September 2024, and Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake, which comes out on December 25, 2024.

Watch the trailer for Mothers’ Instinct below:

What is Mothers’ Instinct about? 

“Starring Academy Award winners Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, Mothers’ Instinct is an unnerving psychological thriller about two best friends and neighbors, Alice and Céline, whose perfect lives in ‘60s suburbia are shattered by a tragic accident involving one of their children,” the synopsis reads. “Marking the directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, we follow Alice and Céline as their familial bonds are gradually undermined by guilt and paranoia and a gripping battle of wills develops, revealing the darker side of maternal love.”

Mothers’ Instinct is a remake of a 2018 Belgian thriller of the same name directed by Olivier Masset-Depasse. The 2018 film is also an adaptation of a 2012 novel written by Barbara Abel.

Sarah Conradt writes the screenplay for Mothers’ Instinct, while Josh Charles and Anders Danielsen Lie also star.

Chastain previously compared the movie to 1962’s What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? when speaking in Indiewire in April 2023. She added, “Of course it’s a different kind of film, but it’s this idea of these two actresses coming together and playing this…the tension I think is very interesting. Thank god Annie and I love each other, so it’s a little different than that experience.”

Mothers’ Instinct does not yet have an official release date.

Martin Scorsese plans to shoot his Jesus movie in 2024.

Per The Los Angeles Times, Scorsese has finished the screenplay for his upcoming film about Jesus. Collaborating with critic Kent Jones on the project, Scorsese now intends to shoot the movie in the coming year.

While the script may be done, Scorsese said he’s still “swimming in inspiration” in regards to how the final product will turn out. It will be based on the 1973 novel “A Life of Jesus,” written by Shūsaku Endō. Endō also wrote the 1966 novel Silence, which Scorsese made into a movie starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver in 2016.

Scorsese said he intends for the movie to be around 80 minutes long. According to The Los Angeles Times, it will largely be set in the present day and focus “on Jesus’ core teachings in a way that explores the principles but doesn’t proselytize.”

“I’m trying to find a new way to make it more accessible and take away the negative onus of what has been associated with organized religion,” Scorsese said about the movie.

What else do we know about Martin Scorsese’s new Jesus movie?

Scorsese, who already made The Last Temptation of Christ in 1988, announced he was making a new movie about Jesus Christ in May 2023 after he and his wife Helen Morris privately met with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

In October 2023, Scorsese told Sight and Sound that the movie wouldn’t have a straightforward narrative.

“It’s kind of a film, but it wouldn’t be a straight narrative, it wouldn’t be a documentary, it’d be a combination of things,” he said at the time. “And I think it may have to go back to Shūsaku Endō and his Life of Jesus, which I found to be interesting because it takes Jesus as a… figure of thinking, and a question of Jesus from a point of view that’s not Western. And so I’m finding that comfortable in a way. And I’m wondering how I can pull some of my questions over the years and thoughts and attempts together and make it some kind of a film. And so, during this period, I’m working on that myself.”

Scorsese has also said that he plans to play a role in the movie, though it’s unclear how large of a part it will be.

Connie Nielsen says that a sequel to the Bob Odenkirk-starring Nobody is still happening.

Speaking with ComicBook.com, Nielsen confirmed that Nobody 2 was still in the works at this time. “Yeah, we are doing it but I can’t tell you anything about it yet,” she said.

In June 2021, director Ilya Naishuller told JoBlo that, while it hadn’t been officially greenlit by the studio at the time, a sequel to Nobody was being written. “There’s plenty of stories that can be told in this world, with the character Hutch. I know that Derek (Kolstad) has begun work on the sequel,” Naishuller said at the time.

In December 2022, producer Kelly McCormick confirmed to Collider the sequel was officially happening, though there’s been little news about the project since then.

Kolstad also previously told ComicBook.com that there could be multiple sequels to Nobody further on down the road. “With Nobody 2, 3, 4, or however they want to do, it’s going to be Bob Odenkirk bringing a soul and levity to a character that oftentimes is just simply a faceless denizen of badass-dom,” he said. “What he brings to it is love and hope and joy and that frailty of the smirk. Dude, I want to do this one forever. I know we always say those in the press but, God damn it, this is true.”

Who else starred in 2021’s Nobody?

Released in United States theaters in March 2021, Nobody saw Better Call Saul’s Odenkirk play a former assassin named Hutch Mansell. Nielsen played his wife, Becca, while the film also starred Christopher Lloyd, RZA, Aleksei Serebryakov, and Michael Ironside.

The film — which was produced by Odenkirk, David Leitch, Braden Aftergood, and Marc Provissiero along with McCormick — made approximately $57.5 million at the worldwide box office off of a budget of $16 million. It mostly received positive reviews from critics.

Nobody is currently streaming for free (with ads) on Amazon Freevee.

Ophrah Winfrey is looking to adapt Abraham Verghese’s The Covenant of Water as her next movie.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Winfrey has purchased the rights to adapt The Covenant of Water as her next film project following 2023’s The Color Purple. Published in May 2023, the novel’s story revolves around an Indian family who “loses at least one person each generation due to a drowning.”

Oprah explains why getting The Covenant of Water made might be challenging

Given the subject matter, Winfrey said that she might “have a hell of a time getting [the movie] done because it’s also a story about people of color.”

She continued, “I think that everybody is so afraid and controlled by what they feel is going to work. There is a great loss in people understanding the true power of storytelling that has brought us through eras in Hollywood where you could tell a story like The English Patient and you could tell a story like the original Color Purple and audiences would respond. And now if you don’t have a brand, already marketable brand behind it, it’s hard to sit in a room and pitch a story,” she lamented. “Because unless you’re saying, ‘I’m bringing Rihanna or Beyonce or Taylor or one of the people who have 200 million followers, people are like, ‘What’s the hook?’ …. So I think that that is true for certainly telling stories about people of color. And I think it’s also true for everybody who’s trying to do some serious filmmaking about all stories. It’s challenging.

“There’s nothing we can sell in that, inside that. There’s no dolls you can make and there’s no product you can conjure from it. So listen, I am here in the space of finding and creating stories as an offering to the world to show the world to itself and to try to do that in a way that lets in particular, not just exclusively, but in particular people of color see the reflection of themselves in the highest light.”

Winfrey is one of the producers who worked on The Color Purple, which is currently playing in United States theaters. The Covenant of Water does not yet have a release date.

Heat 2, which is planning to begin production in 2024, will serve as both a prequel and a sequel to Michael Mann’s 1995 film.

Per Variety, Mann confirmed he plans to begin shooting Heat 2 in 2024. He’s currently finishing up the script to the film, which he described as both a “prequel and a sequel” to Heat.

In October 2023, Mann said, via Deadline, that he plans for Heat 2 to be his next movie following 2023’s Ferrari. He said at the time, “Meg Gardiner and myself wrote the novel Heat 2, which came out right when we were shooting Ferrari. It did very well. I plan to shoot that next.”

Heat 2 could star Adam Driver

Rumors have circulated that Adam Driver, who played Enzo Ferrari in Mann’s newest film, could be starring in the upcoming Heat sequel. When asked if there was any truth to the rumors, Mann said, “Perhaps. We don’t talk about that yet. Let me put it this way: Adam and I got along like a house on fire [on Ferrari]. We have the same work ethic – which is pretty intense. We like each other, and we had a great time working together artistically.” 

Mann also told Entertainment Weekly in November 2023 that Driver was currently “in discussion” for Heat 2.

“There is anxiety, that you’re not going to pull it off, but you still go for it,” he said. “Adam has that quality, and that’s very similar to a whole number of actors that I like to work with, whether it’s Daniel [Day-Lewis] or Bob [De Niro] or Ansel Elgort for that matter. It’s also Mark Ruffalo. It’s an attitude about your work. And by the way, it’s not ‘work’ as a four-letter word. It’s work as a fantastic adventure, and why would you want to do it any other way?”

Heat 2 does not yet have a release date.
