Disney
Heads Back Down Rabbit Hole for 'Alice in Wonderland' Sequel
Frankly, I'm
surprised this didn't happen sooner with as much money as Alice in Wonderland made in
2010 (over $1
billion worldwide) and all the name-dropping Disney does for the
movie on various films that its producers have gone on to make. Variety has word that
Disney is developing a sequel to Tim Burton's take on the classic tale that
featured Mia Wasikowska as the title character, but advertised Johnny Depp as
the Mad Hatter like nobody's business. Beauty and the Beast and The
Lion King writer Linda Woolverton will script the sequel for Disney
(she most recently wrote Maleficent starring
Angelina Jolie). Click to read more.
Warner
Bros Picks Up 'Boston Strangler' Pitch for Casey Affleck to Star
Though Ben Affleck
has been all over the place promoting Argo, his brother Casey Affleck has been pretty low
key lately. This year we only heard him on the big screen providing his voice
to a character in the underrated stop-motion animated flick ParaNorman,
but he has some other films on the horizon. We'll be seeing him in Ain't Them
Bodies Saints at Sundance in January, and Out of
the Furnace fromCrazy Heart director Scott Cooper will
arrive sometime next year hopefully. But now he's just landed a new thriller
called Boston Strangler which
Warner Bros. just picked up from a pitch about the infamous 1960s murderer.

with a new Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, the Invisible Woman and Human Torch in

Four will hit
theaters 3/6/15." While we haven't heard any casting for this yet, Chronicle star Dane DeHaan already got the Harry Osborn role in the next Spider-Man,

one has a script written by Jeremy Slater. Stay tuned.
'Seven
Years in Tibet' Writer Hired to Script New 'Salt' Sequel Draft
About a year and a
half ago, Salt writer
Kurt Wimmer was hired to
script a sequel to
the action thriller starring Angelina
Jolie in a role that was actually reworked for an actress after
originally being written for a male lead. However, Jolie was not very impressed
with what Wimmer came up with and it was assumed the project was dead since she
wasn't going to commit with Wimmer's script. However, it sounds like Columbia
is still keen on a sequel as Heat Vision reports
they've hired writerBecky Johnston for
the sequel. The studio has long wanted a new writer to "reconceive"
the script, but Johnston is an odd choice. Continue Reading.
