Yesterday came word that World War Z 2 was pulled from the schedule by Paramount Pictures and while it was rumored that David Fincher was in talks to helm the sequel for his good friend Brad Pitt, THR now reports that Fincher is actually wanting to direct the movie. A source told THR that Fincher is “very creatively interested in directing the movie,” and sparked to the idea of a movie about a man and his family navigating a zombie apocalypse. THR also reports that budget is not an issue: Fincher reportedly said he can make the film on a budget less than the original’s $190 million.
Avengers: Infinity War began filming in Atlanta two weeks ago but Marvel has not yet sent out an official press release announcing the film’s cast. But we have gotten a bunch of cast confirmations via social media and the latest reveals Benicio Del Toro reprising his role as The Collector for the upcoming event film. Shown in an Instagram live video by Josh Brolin, the future Thanos mentioned that he’d be working with Del Toro and two of the Guardians this past Tuesday — Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana. Del Toro was also spotted taking pictures with some fans in the area where Infinity War is currently filming.
March Madness: March is right around the corner which means it’s almost time for the return of our March Movie Madness Tournament.

Thanks to a tweet from Exhibitor Relations, the third movie in the Bad Boys franchise, Bad Boys For Life, has moved off its latest release date and will now hit theaters ten months later on November 8, 2018 instead of January 12, 2018. The outlet also mentions that Bad Boys 4 – which was set for a May 24th, 2019 release back in December, is no longer on the release schedule at all.
Variety reports that Matthew McConaughey will star in the comedy Beach Bum with Spring Breakers’ helmer Harmony Korine writing and directing. The movie will follow “the hilarious misadventures of Moondog, a rebellious and lovable rogue who lives life large.”
Variety reports that after 7 long years since his last feature film appearance, Jack Nicholson is back. The actor will star alongside Kristen Wiig in in the English-language remake of Toni Erdmann for Paramount Pictures; which recently acquired the remake rights to the German film. The original is written and directed by Maren Ade and follows a practical joking father who tries to reconnect with his hard working daughter.
