Details On Zoolander Sequel Revealed

New details have surfaced giving some new insight into the Zoolander sequel.

Not long ago comedy actor Ben Stiller revealed some details on the new project, saying, “Where it’s at is we’ve completed the script, Justin Theroux and I, and handed it into the studio. Now the studio has the script and we’re at that point where we’re waiting to see what they want to do.”

The actor later added, “It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I don’t want to give away too much, but it’s basically Derek and Hansel ten years later – though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. 

“Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.”

But now Owen Wilson has revealed that Hansel’s modelling career has been seriously affected after suffering a disfiguring injury. Sounds extreme but I’m sure these comedy geniuses will be able to turn an injury into something hilarious.

The Fly Sequel Ready To Go

The sequel to the hit film The Fly is all ready to be made into a film, now it’s just up to the studio.

David Cronenberg has written the sequel to the Jeff Goldbloom classic and is now waiting to see if Fox is willing to make it.

The news came after Cronenberg was asked about rumours of a remake about the classicfilm, he said, “The Fly is not exactly a remake, it’s sort of a sequel, kinda.”

“Yeah, that was a thing. I’ve written a script of that, and I don’t know if that’s going to really happen, but that has to do with Fox.”

With all things considered this could go one of two ways for the new Fly movie. Either they’ll make the sequel, which would technically be The Fly 3, and lets be honest there is a high chance that they will considering all the remakes, reboots and sequels that the film studios are churning out at the moment. Or considering the negative reaction to the first sequel The Fly 2 they may just choose not to turn words into reality.

Its future is unsure at the moment but I’m guessing they’ll go for the first option.

Aronofsky Gets A Deal

Darren Aronofsky has struck a deal with Paramount for his new film project Noah.

The $130 million dollar project has been in development since 2007 and has been shopped around and received interest from a number of film studios, including Fox, before Aronofsky finally struck a deal with Paramount.

Recently Aronofsky told Empire the film would be "the traditional Noah story, but told in a serious way... more the sci-fi version than comedy...” and that is all that is known at the moment. Sounds quite interesting to say the least, I wonder how certain people would view a sci-fi-esque biblical story?

John Logan has signed up to help tidy the script up, and Aronofsky will be directing and producing alongside Scott Franklin.

No cast is currently confirmed but with the film now on fast track you can look forward to seeing this film around the Spring of next year, so it shouldn’t be long before the cast members names start springing up.
