Origin of Species has been described as “a darkly comic tale of murder and survival, set around a group of eclectic characters who abandon civilization for the Galapagos.” It’s based on two different accounts of the same event, and its heroes will be searching for the answer to that ever-pressing question that plagues us all: what is the meaning of life?

Howard’s latest film hails from his production company Imagine Entertainment, along with CAA Media Finance and Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios. It’s one of the buzzy projects set to launch at the Cannes market this month before the production kicks off in Queensland, Australia later this year.

Ana De Armas is fresh off her Oscar-nominated role in the Marylin Monroe biopic Blonde, and we’ve recently seen her in the action rom-com Ghosted. Law most recently appeared in Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy, and he’ll soon portray Henry VIII in Firebrand. Brühl appeared in the Oscar-winning anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front just last year, while the Oscar-winner Vikander recently played the lead role in the HBO series Irma Vep.

LEE will be directed by Ellen Kuras and shine a light on the wartime experiences of Lee Miller, who gave up a glamorous career as a Vogue cover model to become a WWII photographer, in an attempt to chronicle the experiences of soldiers on the frontlines and expose the atrocities that took place in concentration camps.

Winslet said this project is “absolutely not a biopic” because exploring Lee’s whole life would require a deeper dive. It instead focuses on the period from 1938-1948 that took her to the trenches of the war and happens to be her most defining time.

“What we wanted to do was find the most interesting decade in her life, the one that defined who she was and what she became because of what she went through … That is the story we want people to know about Lee more than the many other parts of her life,” said Winslet in a statement.

Riseborough and Cotillard will play Audrey Withers and Solange D’Ayen, two women who knew Lee during her Vogue days. Law will portray the love of her life, artist Roland Penrose, while O’Connor is expected to take on the role of their son, Anthony Penrose.

David Lowery, the director of Pete’s Dragon, is set to direct the film from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks based on the J.M. Barrie novel about Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up and the children he takes to the magical world of Neverland.

Disney’s 1953 animated classic remains the most successful adaptation of the novel although, since its release, many other studios have tried to make their own versions including Steven Spielberg’s Hook starring Robin Williams and Joe Wright’s Pan.

Peter Pan & Wendy will star Ever Anderson as Wendy and Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, and it was one of the many projects Disney paused in March due to the coronavirus.

If Law takes the role, he will follow Dustin Hoffman, Jason Issacs, and Garret Hedlund who have played Hook in the past.

This year, Disney released Aladdin and The Lion King live-action adaptations which grossed $1 billion at the global box office. A sequel is already in the works for the Aladdin live-action film.

Law’s most recent work was in HBO’s The New Pope and Paramount’s Rhythm Sections. He’s also set to reprise his role as Dumbledore in the next Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film.

According to multiple outlets, the Jojo Rabbit helmer and The New Pope star will collab on the Showtime limited series titled The Auteur.

Per Deadline, Law will play the title character, while Waititi is attached to direct. Taika will also co-write the show with Peter Warren. Eric Gitter and Dan Halsted will executive produce. The project is reported to be a Hollywood satire based on the One Press graphic novel series by Rick Spears and James Callahan. 

Being in development, it is unknown when the show will go into production.

HBO confirmed Friday that Sharon Stone and Marilyn Manson will guest star on the forthcoming series The New Pope.

They join Jude Law who starred in the first installment as the leader of the Catholic Church and is set to reprise his role, as well as the previously announced John Malkovich.

While no further details have been divulged by the premium cabler, the previously released first-look images of Malkovich and Law, feature them both in similar papal vestments so it’s fair to assume that the sequel will feature two popes, much like the recent real-life situation that resulted in there being two living popes for the first time in centuries. From Manson’s first-image it seems that the provocative persona will portray a character very similar to his real-life self.

Other returning cast members include Cecile de France, Ludivine Sagnier, and Silvio Orlando.

Check out HBO’s announcement below.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that fans will have to wait another year for the third installment of the hugely successful franchise. 

Originally set to hit theaters Christmas Day 2020, the threequel that has been pushed back a whole year now has a December 21, 2021 release date. According to the Studio, the now vacant slot is going to an untitled WB event film. 

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are set to reprise their roles as the titular detective and his sidekick, Dr. Watson, respectively. 

Chris Brancato wrote the script. Susan Downey, Joel Silver, and Lionel Wigram are producing. No director has been attached to the project.

Sherlock Holmes 3 follows 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The franchise debuted with Sherlock Holmes in 2009. The two films hauled a combined whopping $1 billion at the global box office.

The majority of the details about the movie were revealed during Marvel’s panel at 2017 San Diego Comic-Con. Unlike other movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain Marvel will be set in the past, in the 1990s to be exact. It was also confirmed that the Skrulls, extraterrestrial shapeshifters, will be the movie’s main villains. Samuel L. Jackson will be de-aged using computer animation in order to portray the younger version of Nick Fury. This will likely mean that we will see Nick Fury for the first time without his eye patch.

Law’s character Mar-Vell is portrayed in the comics as a Kree empire spy sent to Earth to see if the humans are a threat. When he arrives at Earth, Mar-Vell assumes the identity of recently deceased scientist Dr. Walter Lawson. He plays an important role in the Carol Danvers’s story as he serves as a mentor while she learns to deal with her newfound powers and helps her in the transition to Captain Marvel.

The filming of Captain Marvel is expected to begin at some point next year, while the release date is set for March 8, 2019. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Sugar and Mississippi Grind) are attached as directors while Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) wrote the original script. The Tomb Raider reboot screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet was recently brought in to do some additional work on the script.
