"You don't need to bend bullets anymore. You need to bend ideas." Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov has revealed he has a unique idea in mind if he were to ever make a sequel to the 2008 action-thriller.Loosely based on J. G. Jones and Mark Millar's comic book series of the same name, the original sees Common, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie play three weaponry whizzes who train James McAvoy's meek Wesley Gibson to be an expert assassin.Rumours of a follow-up have been around since its release and now, Bekmambetov has stated that he'd be keen to do one in Screenlife, an innovative format that sees stories told entirely from the POV of a character's laptop or smartphone screens. Think Searching, or Bekmambetov's horror outing Unfriended."I cannot imagine an assassin in today's world would run with a gun. Why? He will use drones, he will use computer technology, probably," the filmmaker explained to Deadline recently. "You don't need to bend bullets anymore. You need to bend ideas."During the chat, Bekmambetov also went on to say that applying the Screenlife method has made making movies much easier during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as actors can continue to self-isolate at home while they produce new content."During this crazy time, we have been living in Screenlife mode, and it is very organic to produce movies because they can be done while people are home in their safe place," he explained. "We are all in different cities, and we can record screens without meeting each other. It's the nature of this language, this Screenlife format, to work like this." According to the publication, Bekmambetov has just signed a 5-picture deal with Universal, off the back of the success of Unfriended, which cost around $1 million to make and made $65 million worldwide. Might Wanted 2 wind up being one of them?

Bright 2: Angelina Jolie Being Eyed For Villain

These days it may be common for Netflix to spend large sums of money on first-rate original talent projects, but given their growing power and influence in Hollywood, it’s easy to forget that the flow service has been in the business for a while over three years.Bright became one of the most viewed Netflix prototypes ever.Bright in 2017 saw them hire director David Ayer from the Suicide Squad box office, which exceeds $ 750 million to write a screenplay for Max Landis when it was still the screenwriter’s next big thing and they put Will Smith in charge in an ambitious detective film with a twist. The critical response didn’t turn out to be very broad, but a release almost during the holiday season, obtaining over eleven million streams in the first three days of its release.The sequel was announced in the same year:A sequel was announced the same month, with Ayer and Smith being the only confirmed ones to return with Joel Edgerton, but since then there has been little progress. The last specific news we heard was four months ago when Ayer confirmed it was still going on, but now we have said that Netflix is looking up when it comes to the cast of the evil.According to our sources – those who told us that Han was returning to the Fast & Furious series, a Green Lantern show is coming to HBO Max and Ryan Reynolds had a camera on Hobbs & Shaw, everything was fine – one of the names that examined to play the big villain in Bright 2 is Angelina Jolie. Details on the role are still rare, but from what we understand, he would be buried under the prosthesis like Orco, perhaps one with a connection with the character of Edgerton.
Angelina Jolie has appeared in several live appearances :Given the huge amount of money they have available, Netflix can afford anyone at this stage and Jolie is no stranger to the fantasy of the big-budget, having recently directed Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and her participation in The Eternity. However, in the past ten years, she has only made a handful of live appearances, and two of them were like Maleficent, so it would probably take a lot of persuasions or a lot of money on Netflix’s side to make the actress connected to Bright 2.But again, it’s not that they can’t afford it. Furthermore, they tell us that other stars on list A are on their list. Jolie is certainly the one they are most interested in, but with a little luck, they will be able to do it.

Angelina Jolie took notes from Maleficent 2 to help in the production of the upcoming Marvel ensemble movie.In comparison to the other cast members, Angelina Jolie has the advantage of experience in portraying Disney-owned characters. She will play platinum-blonde warrior Thena on The Eternals, which means she could be in several action scenes as well.The former Tomb Raider star is not one to shy away from difficult action sequences. She has made a career of being an action star, even showing some moves on Maleficent 2.Maleficent 2 served as the sequel to the 2014 live-action blockbuster that also starred Jolie. The second installment, however, did not reach the critical and commercial success of the first one. Despite turning up some profit, it is still not known if Walt Disney Pictures plans to release a third movie.The Eternals release delayed to 2021.Just like most 2020 studio movies, The Eternals had to move its release date because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of this year, the upcoming Marvel movie will get its wide release on Friday, February 12, 2021.Meanwhile, Fellow Marvel flick Black Widow will fill in on its original November 6 schedule. COVID-19 also caused Marvel to push back the Scarlett Johansson-led film from its initial May 1 release.Star Kumail Nanjiani spoke out in support of the delay, according to a published story: There are many more important things happening in the world right now. But the Eternals release date has moved from November 6th, 2020 to February 12th, 2021. So be safe, wash your hands, stay away from crowds, social distance, and we’ll see you in February.— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) April 3, 2020
What to expect from The Eternals.The Eternals will be a part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Chloe Zhao, it will directly follow the events of Avengers: Endgame. It will tell the story of an eponymous immortal alien race that will protect the Earth from The Deviants.
The ensemble movie has a diverse, star-studded cast that could rival other Marvel movies. Apart from Angelina Jolie, the movie will star Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, and Kit Harington.The cast had already finished its principal photography before the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic got worse. VFX artists and editors already started post-production work on the movie. However, there is a possibility of short re-shoots later in the year.It is a fact that its source material is among the lesser-known properties in Marvel’s strong stable of comic books. Also, the movie inspired excitement among the Marvel Cinematic Universe fanbase when it was first announced.
Angelina Jolie’s 2021 schedule fully packed.Apart from The Eternals, Angelina Jolie will have more movies to promote in the next months. It seems that the Oscar winner is trying to make up for the years she devoted to directing films, a report said.Jolie is part of the cast of two upcoming fantasy films, Come Away and The One and Only Ivan. She will also lead the thriller movie Those Who Wish Me Dead with Nicholas Hoult and Tyler Perry. All these movies will come out between the middle of this year and late 2021.
