Collider sat down for a long video interview with Real Steel director Shawn Levy and got his thoughts Real Steel 2. A script was in the works before the original was even released and Levy says he’ll finally get to see it in two weeks or so. That, coupled with the box office numbers and DVD sales have him saying the following:
He also said that the script to the sequel has been dictated in part to the hardcore fans of the original film. You can watch him talk about that and much more in the video below.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance doesn’t ride into theaters until Friday but, as is the case with any superhero film, there’s already talk of Ghost Rider 3. Directed Neveldine and Taylor said the following to The Playlist:
They’re also still confident Crank 3D will get done.
The fine folks at Latino Review just launched a new video feature called First Look and started with Taken 2 starring Liam Neeson. Basically if you wanted to know anything about the film, it’s in the below video, including a good portion of the plot. Consider it full of SPOILERS but lots of new info.
The major takeaway, without spoiling anything, is that the Taken formula is both flipped on its head and also quite true to the original. Maggie Grace’s character isn’t the central focus of the film, but is much more important.
Finally, Steven Spielberg spoke to Total Film and confirmed that Peter Jackson will shoot about month’s worth of performance capture on The Adventures of Tintin 2 immediately following principal production on The Hobbit. That won’t be for a few months at least, though, because Spielberg said the script isn’t even done yet. Here’s the director:
So, it sounds like, when The Hobbit finishes shooting this summer, Jackson will shoot a few weeks of Tintin 2 mocap and then go back to Hobbit while work begins on that.
We’re not telling the world what books we’re basing the second movie on yet. We have completed a story outline now. We have a writer on it. I’m just not declaring what it is. It will be more than one book, but no more than two.
Which of these sequel bits are you most surprised at or interested in?
