Millie Bobby Brown may have found her next Netflix project. Percy Jackson has cast its big villain for season 3. Plus, Ralph Macchio believes the Karate Kid universe needs a reset. To me, my spoilers!
Fantastic Voyage In conversation with Deadline, James Cameron confirmed he’s producing a remake of Fantastic Voyage, and is currently “working with a director on a new script” he thinks “could move forward in a big way this coming year.”
I’ve been nurturing that for a while. I hope to get that going this coming year. I’ll be producing it. I’m working with a director right now with a new script. So, yeah, we’re gonna do it.
Dark Park According to a recent report from The InSneider (via World of Reel), Millie Bobby Brown is in talks to star in Joe Cornish’s Dark Park at Netflix. The story concerns “a group of young people who dare to enter a haunted amusement park, where every ride could be their last.”
The Karate Kid Ralph Macchio told People he believes The Karate Kid franchise “needs a reset” after the poor synergy of the Cobra Kai finale and Karate Kid: Legends “colliding at the same time.”
There’s been discussions. Between the series and the movie with Jackie Chan, all that colliding at the same time, I just think there needs to be a reset. And then finding the perfect way to launch, because the fan base — it’s never gone away. It hasn’t gone away since 1984. But you want to service and be organic, and be true to the integrity of the characters. So that’s always a challenge once you are on the long game.
Untitled Jordan Peele MCU Project According to a recent report from insider Daniel Richtman (via World of Reel), Jordan Peele is “being eyed” to direct a “mysterious project” at Marvel. If the rumor is true, it’s speculated Peele could be next in line to direct the company’s troubled Blade reboot or even a film introducing the Midnight Sons team of monster-fighting heroes.
