Oren Uziel to Pen Men In Black 4 and Rewrite 21 Jump Street Sequel for Sony
3 May 2013 2:13 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While Sony is patiently awaiting Oren Uziel's rewrite on the 21 Jump Street sequel, the studio has also tapped the screenwriter to pen another installment in the Men in Black franchise. Little is known about the logline for Men in Black 4, though the studio was apparently pleased enough with Uziel's pitch to give him the go-ahead. It's unclear at this time just how involved Will Smith would be with a fourth film and there are currently no deals for either Josh Brolin or Emma Thompson to return. After Men in Black 3 went on to earn a franchise-best $624 million, the studio is obviously eager to get another film in development. Uziel, however, will have to finish his draft on the 21 Jump Street sequel first, which Sony has already slated for a June 6, 2014 release. Hit the jump for more. The Wrap reports that Uziel has been tapped by Sony to pen »

Sequels Already In The Works For 'The Heat' & 'Ride Along'
24 April 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Earlier today some more details emerged on the sequel to “21 Jump Street,” a film that has taken the slow and steady approach to getting in front of cameras. Production now looks likely to be underway on “21 Jump Street 2” at least 18 months after the first film hit theaters, and that’s a gap that a couple of upcoming comedies are hoping to avoid should their first installments prove a success. Both “The Heat” – Paul Feig’s Sandra Bullock-Melissa McCarthy buddy cop comedy due for release on June 28 – and “Ride Along” – Tim Story’s Ice Cube-Kevin Hart buddy cop comedy due for release January 17, 2014 – have tentatively started work on sequels. Now whether this bodes well for the prospective quality/profitability of the two movies or whether it’s simply a case of overconfidence remains to be seen, but we’re certainly hoping that it points to the former. »

Fox and Universal Developing Sequels for 'The Heat' & 'Ride Along'
24 April 2013 11:02 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Sounds like buddy cop comedies are all the rage in Hollywood right now. Hot on the heels of news of a summer release for a 21 Jump Street sequel with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller returning with stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, there are two more buddy cop comedies with sequels in development, and the first films haven't even hit theaters. Deadline has word that Fox is already developing the script for a sequel to this summer's The Heat starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, and Universal is working on a sequel for their comedy Ride Along starring Ice Cube and comedian Kevin Hart. Read on! We've already seen a funny red band trailer for The Heat, and we're hoping the film from Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is worthy of its summer release date on June 27th. Katie Dippold will script the sequel as part of her deal with Fox and Chernin Entertainment. »

‘The Heat’ and ‘Ride Along’ Are Getting Sequels
24 April 2013 10:43 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Fox and Universal are planning sequels for The Heat and Ride Along, two films that have yet to hit the big screen. Fox has already reached a pricey deal with The Heat writer; and Universal is in early negotiations with two of the writers who helped pen Ride Along.
The first deal comes from Fox – they managed to get Katie Dippold to write a sequel to the Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock comedy The Heat, which is scheduled to hit theaters this summer, on June 28th. The original film was directed by Paul Feig, and follows an unlikely team of female law enforcers.
Universal hasn’t reached a deal yet, but is engaged in early talks with Ride Along writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi. They want them to come back and pen a sequel. Though the film doesn’t hit theaters until next year (on January 17), the studio clearly »

Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 21 Jump Street Sequel Coming 2014
24 April 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are coming back to helm the sequel to the action comedy. Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube will be back to reprise their roles.
In a recent interview with Collider the producer, Neal Moritz, said that the sequel would take the young looking undercover officers to college. He didn't reveal which college they would be attending, but he teased it by saying...
It leads off where we ended the last film and our guys are going to college. Now, I can’t tell you more than that because there’s some fun to be had in what college they’re going to and what’s going to happen. It really just starts there.
As for where the story of the film is heading he reveals that the two main characters are now "married"...
The relationship developed quite a bit in the »

"The Heat," "Ride Along" To Get Sequels
24 April 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Sequels are already said to be in development for the still to be released cop comedies "The Heat" at Fox and "Ride Along" at Universal.
Scribe Katie Dippold has been hired to pen the script for a follow-up to the Paul Feig-helmed 'Heat' despite the Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy-led laugher not opening until June 28th.
In the film, Bullock plays a by-the-books FBI agent who teams with a rough-around-the-edges local Boston cop (McCarthy) to take down a drug lord.
Meanwhile, Universal is already moving forward with a sequel to the Tim Story-directed "Ride Along" and have hired Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi to pen it. The first film doesn't hit cinemas until next January.
Kevin Hart plays a fast-talking aspiring police officer who must team up with his girlfriend’s brother, a hot-tempered cop (Ice Cube) to prove that he’s worthy of being her husband. »

'21 Jump Street' Directors Sign on for Sequel
24 April 2013 8:28 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Now, here's a sequel people actually do want to see.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the co-directors on "21 Jump Street," have just accepted the assignment of helming the second installment, which'll send Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) off to college — or, as Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) phrased it, the place where those two cowboys will be allowed to "drink booze, smoke weed with kids, and f**k anything with a big ass in jeans with low self-esteem."
As SlashFilm details, producer Neal Moritz spilled the beans to Collider about the filmmakers' return, which was uncertain given their current involvement with "The Lego Movie." Evidently, they'll be able to squeeze in their work on the "Jump Street" sequel as post-production work on "Lego" ensues with the VFX team. Hooray!
Moritz also shared a few details about the script, the second draft for which is currently "coming along."

Yesterday, we told you to marry The Heat, because it looks great and everyone's excited about it — especially Fox. Deadline reports the studio has already set in motion plans for a sequel, over two months before the thing actually comes out. As part of a deal with the film's writer Katie Dippold to pen another comedy for Paul Feig to direct, she also agreed to start working on The Heat 2 (a.k.a. The Heats). Also jumping into the quick sequel game, Universal has already begun working on a sequel to Ride Along, the Ice Cube and Kevin Hart buddy-cop film set to come out next January. Not to be outdone, Paramount has started working on a sequel to a movie some screenwriter just thought of an hour ago. »

Producer Neal Moritz recently sat down with Collider and said that the college-bound follow-up to the 2012 sensation starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill will bring back directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

More below! Moritz said Sony has an eye for a release in the summer 0f 2014, and Tatum and Hill will have Ice Cube back as their aggressive captain again.

Neal Moritz Talks 21 Jump Street Sequel; Confirms the Story Takes Place in College, Ice Cube Will Return, and Phil Lord and Chris Miller Attached to Direct
23 April 2013 10:02 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
One of the most pleasant surprises of 2012 was Sony’s 21 Jump Street adaptation. While remakes and reboots are usually developed with an eye towards appealing to the widest possible audience, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller crafted a wonderfully peculiar and hilarious comedy that benefitted from some excellent chemistry between stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. As the R-rated film grossed over $200 million worldwide, both fans and Sony were keen on moving forward with a sequel. Screenwriter Michael Bacall has been working on the script for the follow-up alongside Hill, and Sony recently announced that they’re planning the film for a 2014 release. Steve recently sat down for a lengthy interview with producer Neal Moritz, and during their wide-ranging conversation Moritz talked quite a bit about 21 Jump Street 2. He confirmed that the story finds Tatum and Hill infiltrating a college campus, Ice Cube is set to return as Captain Dickson, »

10 90s Films That Hollywood Will Probably Remake
19 April 2013 7:13 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
What do Jumanji, Drop Dead Fred, Cliffhanger, Point Break, Starship Troopers and The Crow have in common? Well, they’re all well liked ‘90s films that are getting the remake treatment.
Evidently Hollywood loves to remake things, squeezing more money out of movies from the past because of the nostalgia people have for them. And it makes sense – Hollywood is a business, after all. It’s not even been a couple of decades since some of the above films (and others currently in development) were released and yet we’re getting up-to-date versions whether we like it or not.
So what other fondly remembered films from the 1990s could Hollywood eventually remake? Below is a list of 10 very real possibilities. Now these aren’t films that necessarily should be remade – in fact they very well may be classics that need not be touched – but just a group of movies that »

Sony/Screen Gems Pushes Release Date For 'No Good Deed' To April 2014
15 April 2013 3:38 PM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
This was actually one of the films on my list of 2013 anticipated releases; but, announced it January, its release date was pushed from October 18, 2013, to January 17, 2014. I recall when I posted that announcement from Sony/Screen Gems, I shared that I was a bit puzzled by the release date placement, because, also scheduled to open on January 17, 2014, is another Will Packer-produced film (except this one is for Universal), Ride Along, which stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. I figured that one of those 2 films would move to another date, given that, from what we know of each thus far, both would likely be targeting somewhat »

'America Is In Love With The Gun'
2 April 2013 3:20 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- Before he was Ice Cube, his name was O'Shea Jackson. And before he was rapping about gun violence, he was a victim of it.
In 1981, when he was just 12 years old, Ice Cube's half-sister Beverly Jean Brown was murdered by her husband -- shot to death in her house just a few blocks from where her brother lived in South Central Los Angeles.
"I think about my sister a lot," said the rapper in an interview with The Huffington Post. "I think about the turn of events that triggered that situation."
Ice Cube grew up to pen powerful lyrics about the effect of violence on the people in his community, as well as the allure of weapons.
Because gun culture is so entrenched in American values, he reasoned, the forces that killed his sister will remain in play for the foreseeable future.

Look: Kid Rock, Like You've Never Seen Him Before

Nobody ever called Kid Rock, Detroit’s bare-chested musical ambassador to the world, a tame guy.
“I mean, he gets paid to drink Jim Beam.” says Jeremy "Jd" Deputat, who photographed I’m Kid Rock, What’s Your Excuse?, a large format 176-page glossy photography book following the singer-songwriter's summer 2011 ”Born Free” tour. “I just never really went home.”
I'm Kid Rock, What's Your Excuse? is available for sale Tuesday at the photographer's online store. What was photographer Jeremy “Jd” Deputat’s excuse? He was just along for the ride.

“It started out as 10 days of shooting throughout the summer -- it turned into four months of private jets, helicopters and hotel rooms that were never slept in,” said Deputat, who edited more than 30,000 images of Kid Rock (featuring cameos by actor Sean Penn, and talk show hosts Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon) taken that summer »
