The movie business is booming, with CinemaCon taking place in Las Vegas. There are news about new productions, sequels, projects, etc. Yesterday it was Sony’s turn to announce sequels to Ghostbuster e Venom. And today there was more, including about the new Batman…

Batman 2

No surprises here, right? It is clear that a sequence of The Batman would happen. The film grossed over 760 million at the box office worldwide. It was viewed in 4.1 million households in its first week on HBO Max. But it was today that there was the official announcement. Director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson will return.

Barbie

I confess that I couldn’t be more curious about what this Barbie movie will be. Directed by Greta Gerwig, and Margot Robbie in the lead role. Plus Ryan Gosling (Ken), Emma Mackey, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Issa Rae and Simu Liu (from Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings). To convince all these people to participate in the project, the script must be something very different. The beginning is very reminiscent enchanted. A doll who lives in Barbieland is kicked out for not being completely perfect. And so he embarks on an adventure in the real world.

Today there was the announcement that the film will hit theaters on July 21, 2023. It will take the place of Coyote x Acme previously. It’s a mix of live action and animation, which has now become undated.

fast and furious 10

This wasn’t a CinemaCon announcement, but it must have gotten a lot of buzz there. That’s because just a few days after the start of filming for Fast X (Fast and Furious 10), director Justin Lin asked to leave. the official page of Fast X posted the following statement on the networks:

“With the support of Universal, I made the difficult decision to step down as director of Fast X, but I remain on the project as a producer. For 10 years and five movies, we’ve managed to shoot the best actors, the best stunts, and the best car races. On a personal note, as the son of Asian immigrants, I am proud to have helped build the most diverse franchise in film history. I will always be grateful to this fantastic cast, crew and studio for their support. And for welcoming me to the Fast family. “

Soon after, Justin posted photos on his own pages, with the caption, “How nice to finally head out in search of our next adventure.”

According to some sources, the director would have left the film due to “creative differences”. As is known, the main unit has had a hiatus, until Universal finds a new director. In the meantime, second unit personnel will continue to work. Whether this will affect the May 19, 2023 release date remains to be seen.
