WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29
SPIDER-MAN---multiple sources say Asa Butterfield (ENDER'S GAME) is the top candidate among five to play Peter Parker in the reboot movie.
SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN---Damian Szifron (WILD TALES) will write the script for the Mark Wahlberg movie remake of the ABC sci fi series that starred Lee Majors.
STAR WARS---producer Simon Kinberg said there's a possibility that a character from the animated STAR WARS: REBELS tv series could also appear in one of the live-action movies, "Absolutely. There’s been conversation about it. That this story could be a story that crosses over into other films, whether it’s A NEW HOPE or other movies. And that movies could potentially even enter into our timeline and our moment."
JURASSIC WORLD---director Colin Trevorrow said his movie is a direct sequel to the original movie and more or less ignores the other sequels, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK and JURASSIC PARK III, which are set on Isla Sorna. JURASSIC WORLD and the original movie are set on Isla Nublar. Producer Frank Marshall said, "It was Colin’s pitch that we needed to go back to what we did in the first movie and enter the [Jurassic Park] park in wonderment and joy and happiness… and then it can go wrong."
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD---final trailer released for the sequel starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: ALLEGIANT---Jeff Daniels is in negotiations to play David, head of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare in PART 1 and 2.
SUICIDE SQUAD---Alex Meraz (THE TWILIGHT SAGA) has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. Also, Ben Affleck was photographed on the set, apparently in his Bruce Wayne garb from BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, which led to speculation he will have a cameo in SUICIDE SQUAD.
DON'T LOOK NOW---remake underway of the 1973 horror movie that starred Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie.
STARSHIP TROOPERS---producer Neal H. Moritz commented on the status of the remake of the 1997 Paul Verhoeven movie and said it may be a tv series instead, "We're developing it. We've actually been talking about either doing it as a feature or doing it as a television show. So, we'll see."
YOUTH---Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz and Jane Fonda star in this movie about a retired composer and a filmmaker who reflect on their pasts in the Italian mountains.
MERCY STREET---PBS six-part Civil War miniseries about two nurses, one from the Confederate Army and the other from the Union Army, in a Union Army hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Josh Radnor and Gary Cole star. Ridley Scott is co-producer.

Ah, great, yet another step down in the expectation ladder for this film. I'm actually starting to get ANNOYED by it now, despite my 14 years of immense expectations. That he's ignoring the two sequels -- like Neil Blomkamp does with the new ALIEN film -- is a HORRIBLE idea, and just proves to me what a big turkey this is going to be. I'm sure of it, and I've only seen the trailers! F/"#¤K THIS FILM!
But how would TLW and JP3 really impact Jurassic World in any meaningful way? The only thing would be the revelation of living dinosaurs to the world, and that's clearly accomplished based on previews showing an active, thriving park. There's not a continuity issue there.
I don't think there will be any active "ignoring" of the sequels, just no direct mention to their events. I'd rather there be less callbacks and more in-the-moment dialogue/action anyway, so it doesn't seem so bad to me.
With Alien(s), it does sound like there will be some retconning, and I don't care about that series enough to bother really, but I can see why somebody who does care would be frustrated by that.

That's exactly what he should have done. If there was ever another "Jaws" sequel, the director of that should do the same thing -- ignore the third and fourth film and make it a direct sequel of the first film. Hell, same with "Men in Black".
