Glen Mazzara To Write ‘Shining’ Prequel Called ‘The Overlook Hotel’ By Germain Lussier/April 11, 2013 12:13 pm EST The Shining has had quite the resurgence in the past few months. Rodney Ascher’s Room 237 is certainly one factor. Another, bigger motivator is Stephen King himself, who is currently working on a Shining sequel novel called Doctor Sleep. Warner Bros., which owns the rights to the Stanley Kubrick film, surely sees this as a perfect time to dust off last year’s idea for a prequel to the Kubrick film, giving it a title and going out to a big time writer....

If this was 1987 that would be so awesome, but it’s 2013 and the movie is The Expendables 3, so… we’ll see. Maybe it’ll be pretty awesome. Hard to tell right now....

James Mangold Says ‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Will Follow ‘X-Men: Age Of Apocalypse’ By Russ Fischer/March 17, 2014 8:13 am EST @R__E__D_R__U__M @20centuryfox @ShuDonner We are figuring it all out. At the moment, I’m shooting The next #Wolverine after #XmenApocalypse. — Mangold (@mang0ld) March 15, 2014 We don’t know what the Wolverine sequel story will involve, or whether it will be specifically tied to events of the X-Men films. The lack of a “present-day” X-Men movie since X3 gave Mangold the liberty to have The Wolverine act as a sequel to that film without having to be too tied to the X-Men series....

Newcomer Travis Tope Could Lead Jason Reitman’s ‘Men, Women And Children’ By Angie Han/Nov. 13, 2013 7:30 am EST Jason Reitman has worked with some pretty big names over the course of his career, including, most recently, Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin.
