Colin Trevorrow and Ryan Reynolds Are Teaming Up For a Film That Revolvs Around Area 51 — GeekTyrant
Colin Trevorrow and Ryan Reynolds are teaming up on an interesting new film project that will revolve around the infamous Area 51. Trevorrow is set to direct and producethe untitled conspiracy thriller for Paramount Pictures, and Reynolds is on board as producer through his Maximum Effort banner. According to Deadline, the film takes place in the late 1980s and centers on a local Las Vegas TV journalist who first broke the story of Area 51. The script comes from Thomas and William Wheeler, who are also executive producing. For Trevorrow, this feels like a return to the more grounded, high-concept storytelling that first put him on the map with Safety Not Guaranteed , a small indie sci-fi comedy that wowed audiences at Sundance back in 2012. That breakout film led to him landing Jurassic World , which became a massive box office hit and reignited a dormant franchise. Now, he's dialing the scale back a bit but keeping the mystery front and center. Pair that with Reynolds' track record of injecting charm, humor, and heart into almost everything he touches, and you've got something that feels like it could walk the line between The X-Files and Broadcast News , with just enough of that Maximum Effort twist. No casting has been announced yet, and the project is still in early development, but the premise alone has our antennas up. If you're into cold war conspiracies, alien lore, or just want to see what happens when Reynolds and Trevorrow poke around the Nevada desert together, this is one to keep your eyes on.

We Might Be Waiting Even Longer For That ‘Constantine' Sequel
Plus, Colin Trevorrow heads to Area 51 for new movie. Ralph Ineson teases the scale and aloofness of his Galactus. Joe Locke says he's in the MCU for the long haul. Plus, Wednesday's creative team plays down season 2's horror, and what's coming on the next Rick & Morty. Spoilers get! Untitled Area 51 Movie Deadline reports Colin Trevorrow is attached to direct a currently untitled film 'set in the late 1980s' that follows 'the local Las Vegas TV news journalist who first broke the story of Area 51.' Trevorrow will produce the project through his Metronome banner with the help of Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort. Constantine 2 In conversation with The Direct, Peter Stormare suggested Keanu Reeves is unhappy with the current script draft for Constantine 2. It's a lot of back and forth, because… I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios… Because the first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes. It turns into an action movie, and not like going deeper and deeper into the characters. I think he wants to do his character again, Constantine, as grounded as it was in the first one. It took a long time for you to become a cult movie, it really worked, and it will work on the audience again. You don't have to add a lot of action and shootouts. You have other movies. Don't turn it into big Marvel… [Don't turn it] into us flying around in harnesses all the time and shooting each other up. Don't bring in the big guns. Let it be. Fantastic Four: First Steps In conversation with Empire, Ralph Ineson revealed he prepared for his role as Galactus by standing atop 'a lot of tall buildings.' He's a cosmic force. He's a god, of sorts. [I drove through the tunnels of Mont Blanc] 'just imagining that as his windpipe and his trachea. I also went to a lot of tall buildings. We went to a wedding at the top of the Gherkin building in London, and I spent most of the afternoon just staring out, ruminating. I got in trouble with my wife — she was like, 'You've got to say hello to the bride and groom at some point!' Ready or Not: Here I Come During a recent interview with Comic Book, Ready or Not screenwriter Guy Busick stated the upcoming sequel 'isn't even the same genre' as the first. Things that we reference … Radio Silence, the producers, Ryan and myself … over and over again are Aliens and Terminator 2. How do you blow it up in a way that isn't even the same genre, but hits all the notes and has the same DNA? Here I Come is a horror movie with humor, just like the first one. But what's the crazy, bigger world of it? A Bright Future In an ant-infested future specifically tailored to the needs of the elderly, chosen young people are shipped to 'The North' to make their families proud in the trailer for A Bright Future. Agatha All Along Speaking with The Playlist, Joe Locke discussed his forseeable contractually obligated future with Marvel, suggesting Billy Maximoff could be around for a good while yet. Kevin Feige doesn't ring you up, but when I signed my contract, I signed for my whole life. But so you sort of wait for them. You're in limbo to them, which is, there are worse things to be in limbo for. Ms. Marvel Meanwhile, Red Dagger actor Aramis Knight told Screen Rant he believes his time in the MCU is officially over. Referring to a potential second season of Ms. Marvel, Knight answered: I don't think so. I mean it's been a long time now, so I am not really sure. I mean I would love to. I was supposed to make appearances and other things but it didn't end up working out and some logistical stuff and COVID stuff and I think also creative stuff. But I mean that was also an amazing show, but I dunno, I'm still waiting for the call to be honest. Wednesday In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Wednesday co-creator Miles Millar reiterated the show's more horror-focused second season will still be family friendly. Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. So we want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments. And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror. Rick and Morty Finally, Space Beth's plan to assassinate the Gromflomite Queen goes awry in a clip from this Sunday's episode of Rick and Morty.
