She Rides Shotgun centers on ex-con Nate, who made some powerful enemies during his time in prison. He cuts ties with his old crew after his release in an attempt to make a fresh start, but the gang retaliates by putting a hit on his family.

His life gets even more complicated when he decides to go on a run with Polly, his shy 11-year-old daughter whom he hardly knows. He must teach her all the skills she needs to survive, while also learning to love unconditionally as they form a special bond while battling for their future by each other’s side.

Nick Rowland (Calm With Horses) will be in charge of directing this crime thriller, while Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (The Night House) wrote the screenplay. The film received an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA, with the production kicking off in early 2024.

Egerton played video game designer Henk Rogers in the Apple TV+ original Tetris earlier this year, and he’ll next appear in the action thriller Carry-On alongside Jason Bateman.

Apple TV’s official logline describes Tetris as “a Cold War–era thriller on steroids, with double-crossing villains, unlikely heroes, and a nail-biting race to the finish.” Even though it’s inspired by a popular game beloved by people of all ages, this film promises one wild ride and centers on the part of Tetris’ history that most people aren’t aware of.

Tetris focuses on Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton), who put everything he has on the line to travel to the Soviet Union during the late ’80s and join forces with the Tetris inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring his game to the masses.

In addition to Egerton and Efremov, Tetris also stars Toby Jones, Roger Allam, Anthony Boyle, Togo Igawa, Ken Yamamura, Ben Miles, and Matthew Marsh. It will have its world premiere at SXSW Film Festival next month before heading to Apple TV+ on March 31.

This promising project follows Ethan Kopek, a young TSA agent who gets blackmailed by a mysterious traveler to let a dangerous package slip through security and onto a Christmas Day flight. Bateman’s role is yet to be confirmed, but it’s believed he’ll play the mysterious traveler.

Carry On is the first project to come out of the overall deal Amblin signed with Netflix last June. TJ Fixman initially wrote the script, while Michael Green worked on the most recent draft. Dylan Clark is coming on board as a producer, with Holly Bario, Amblin’s president of production, overseeing the project on behalf of the studio.

Bateman said goodbye to Ozark back in April after four seasons, and he already has several promising projects lined up. He’s set to star alongside Ryan Reynolds in the crime mystery Clue, based on Hasbro’s popular board game, in addition to being attached to Ben Affleck’s film about Nike’s pursuit of Michael Jordan, also starring Affleck, Matt Damon, and Viola Davis.

Egerton is set to play Ethan Kopek, a young TSA agent who gets blackmailed by a mysterious traveler to let a dangerous package slip through security and onto a Christmas Day flight.

TJ Fixman wrote the first draft of the script, while Michael Green polished the latest version. Jaume Collet-Serra will be in charge of directing the project, marking his return to the action thriller genre following a recent shift to big blockbusters with Jungle Cruise and Black Adam, both staring Dwayne Johnson.

As for Egerton, he rose to prominence with the role of Eggsy in Kingsman: The Secret Service and later reprised this role in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. He went on to star in Robin Hood, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen him tackle the action genre.

He won a Golden Globe for playing Elton John in Rocketman and gave television a shot earlier this year with Apple TV+ crime drama Black Bird. He’s currently attached to the biographical film Tetris, which chronicles the development of the popular game.

Edgerton recently told The New York Times that he talked with Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studio executives about his potential casting as Wolverine, adding he would gladly pick up the baton from Jackman.

“I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. I’d be excited but I’d be apprehensive as well, because Hugh is so associated with the role that I’d wonder if it’d be very difficult for someone else to do it. But hopefully, if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot,” explained the Golden Globe-winning actor.

If Egerton was truly cast as Wolverine, he wouldn’t have any trouble turning to Jackman for advice. The two previously played lead roles in Dexter Fletcher’s 2015 film Eddie the Eagle, an underdog story about a tenacious ski jumper Eddie Edwards, who represented the UK at the 1988 Winter Olympics.

Jackman made his last appearance as Wolverine in the 2017 film Logan, and the X-Men franchise proceeded without him, with the films Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants.

Full Circle Cinema reports that Taron Egerton may play the lead part of Seymour Krelborn – a part that was played by Rick Moranis in the 1986 movie. Scarlett Johansson is in talks to fill Ellen Greene’s shoes as his beloved Audrie.  

Egerton starred in Kingsman: The Secret Service and its sequel and won the Golden Globe for his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman. Scarlet Johansson got great reviews this year for her parts in Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit.

The new remake was announced in 2016. It will be directed by Greg Berlanti and written by Matthew Robinson, and it will be the third movie adaptation of the story. The original horror film was released in 1960 by Roger Corman and it was remade in 1986. In 1982, it was adapted to an off-Broadway musical by Alan Menken and in 2003 it hit Broadway with Hunter Foster and Kerry Butler as the leading couple.

Billy Porter is currently rumored to voice the murderous plant Audrie II.

Egerton rose to stardom after his role in Kingsman: The Secret Service and is now getting a lot of Oscar buzz after his performance as Elton John in Rocketman.

Now that the X-Men are supposed to get a reboot under the hands of Marvel Studios, he is one of the names circulated as the new Wolverine.

Fans have already begun to imagine how Egerton will look as Wolverine and one such image can be found in Bosslogic:

Multiple outlets confirm that the highly anticipated Elton John biopic will have its world premiere during the Cannes Film festival on May 16. 

“We are incredibly honored and excited to premiere our movie Rocketman at the Cannes film festival on May 16th. This has been a labor of love for all of us and we couldn’t dream of a better launching pad for this very special film,” said producers Rocket Pictures and Marv Films in a statement.

The film is a story about the fantastical human story of John’s breakthrough years. It follows John’s early days as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music up to his eventual musical partnership with Bernie Taupin. 

The film stars Taron Egerton as the musical icon. Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard also star. 

Rocketman is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who took the reins on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody after director Bryan Singer was fired. That film went on to collect close to $900M at the global box office. 

A domestic release has been slated for May 31.

But while audiences raved about Bohemian Rhapsody, some felt that the movie skipped over the controversial parts of Freddie Mercury’s life, including the wild parties, drugs, and his sexuality.

Perhaps, then, those people will be pleased to know that the upcoming film about Elton John won’t.

Rocketman, which is being produced by Elton’s husband David Furnish, is expected to be R-rated and will not brush over the challenging aspects of the musician’s life, such as his drug addiction.

The $40 million movie will also include love scenes between Taron Egerton, who plays the “Candle in the Wind” singer, and Richard Madden, who plays his former manager and lover, John Reid.

Director Dexter Fletcher tweeted that the feature will be a “no holds barred, musical fantasy.”

Rocketman makes its UK debut on the 24th of May before heading to the US on the 31st of May.

This role opened many doors for Egerton and made him a part of Hollywood royalty, but it seems his services are no longer needed – for now. Despite his affection for the character that put him on the map, BAFTA nominee won’t be a part of the next movie.

“I don’t know how hot off the press this is, and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the next Kingsman movie. That doesn’t mean I won’t be in Kingsman ever again. I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me,” explained Egerton.

Upcoming film Kingsman: The Great Game, will explore the history of the Secret Service organization in the 1900s, so it wouldn’t make sense for Egerton to be part of it. He described the idea for the third film as “incredibly exciting” and said it’s sad he won’t return for this new journey.
