#LIFE AFTER LIFE MOVIE LIONSGATE SERIES#

There's no mention of a potential screenwriter for the project mentioned in the Tracking Board report, though Ghost in the Shell and former Spider-Man franchise producer Avi Arad is also backing the Naurto adaptation. The Tracking Board (hat tip Variety) is reporting that Lionsgate has begunВ actively courting visual effects/animation artist Michael Gracey, with the intent of getting him to commit as director on the Naruto live-action movie. Story-wise, the franchise revolves around Naruto: a young and mischievous ninja-in-training, who had a powerful supernatural creature (a mystical fox known as the Nine-Tails) sealed inside his body, when he was a newborn (seeВ the whisker marks on his face).

The original manga (written/illustrated byВ Masashi Kishimoto) debuted in 1999 and ran until 2014 the NarutoВ anime adaption (as well as the anime sequel series Naruto: Shippuden) began thereafter in the 2000s. Lionsgate has now joined that slow-going race by acquiring the live-action film right to the popular manga/anime franchise Naruto. However, the Scarlett Johansson-headlined Ghost in the ShellВ scheduled for Spring 2017 is currently poised to make its way beyond the early stages ofВ development, unlike its peers. This is a movie that went from an unknown to the top of my list.A handful of popular Japanese manga/anime series have been rumored to get live-action Hollywood movie adaptations in recent years, though the majority ofВ them have yet to gain much traction (see Death Note) or they continueВ experiencing setbacks during pre-production (see Akira). It looks absolutely insane, and there is a moment where Cage screams, 'I'm Nic Fuuuuuuucking Cage.' There was not a single moment of that footage that didn't look amazing. It turns out Pedro is a wanted criminal, and Cage is brought in to try and help bring him down. It features Nicholas Cage playing himself, a he goes through a career transition and gets paid to hang out with a rich guy ( Pedro Pascal).

They showed up the first footage of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and it looks incredible. Then we got a quick look at the new horror The Devil's Light, and it just looks generic as hell. During the final sizzle reel, Halle Berry says the line 'the moon is the biggest coverup of humankind,' which is just a hell of a line. The teaser trailer features a shot of the moon crashing into Earth in reverse slow motion.

They turn and see a giant tornado on the surface of the moon. We got to see the movie's opening scene when a group of astronauts is attacked by some sort of goo that looked like Venom. This is the new movie from Roland Emmerich, and no one does disaster movies better than him. Where Lionsgate really injected some life into the proceedings, after a brief look at the documentary about Christian music that my dad is going to love, is when they introduced Moonfall. The trailer gave some serious weepy vibes. Again, if this is something you seek out, you'll probably be interesting. The Unbreakable ChildВ is another based on a true story movie about a kid with brittle bones and who is autistic. If these types of sports movies are your thing, you'll probably be into this one. The clip they showed was the moment that Kurt Warner is told that he makes the team. We got a teaser, a clip, and a release date for American Underdog, and that looks to be a good time for everyone to remember that Zachary Levi can do dramatic acting as well. They are leaning into the feel-good thing big time. If feel-good movies are your thing, then Lionsgate is the studio you need to clap an eyeball on immediately.
