With shooting finally starting of James Cameron’s sequels to Avatar, a few new cast members are coming onbaord to join the likes of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Signourney Weaver (or at least their motion-captured forms). Now Deadline reports that one of the newcomers will be Kate Winslet, who’ll reteam with Cameron for the first time since Titanic.
The director says, “Kate and I have been looking for something to do together for 20 years, since our collaboration on Titanic, which was one of the most rewarding of my career. I can’t wait to see her bring the character of Ronal to life.”
What Cameron doesn’t reveal though is who Ronal is and how she fits into the movie. There have been few story details released, although it’s known he’s planning four sequels to be released between 2020 and 2025. The stories will introduce us to Jake Sully and Neytiri’s children, as well as other tribes of Na’vi such as the Metkayina, who live on oceanic atoll reefs.
When Paddington was first announced, many were sceptical that Michael Bond’s peruvian bear could make a successful transfer to the big screen. However, the resulting movie grossed almsot $270 million around the world and is now getting a sequel.
After Twilight and Snow White & The Huntsman, Kristen Stewart has spent the majority of her time making indie movies and more dramatic porjects. However, if Sony gets their way, she’ll be coming back to the big budget mainstream as one of a new band of Charlie’s Angels.
First it was called Bastards, then it got retitled to the softer Who’s Your Daddy?, and now they’ve altered things again, to Father Figures. But despite the numerous name changes, the movie itself remains the same.
After the surprise success of Pitch Perfect, Universal set up the sequel on the presumption that would be it for Anna Kendrick and co., and that if there was any future in the franchise, it would be with a new generation – hence why they brought in Hailee Steinfeld. Then Pitch Perfect 2 became a huge hit, grossing $300 million, and suddenly the studio wanted a third film with the original cast – and that’s just what we’re getting.
After being delayed by an accident which saw production put on hiatus for months after star Dylan O’Brien was severely injured after being hit by a car on set, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is now on its way. We’ll have to hope that after the issues it faced, it’s more like the fun and entertaining first film than the slightly tedious and trying-too-hard sequel.
