The Weekly Wrap: Planet Of The Apes Continues
Disney is moving forward with plans for a new Planet of the Apes movie this time with Wes Ball, who previously directed the Maze Runner. The series was a tremendous success for 20th Century Fox with three films directed by Rupert Wyatt and Matt Reeves. However, following the studio’s acquisition by Disney last year, many fans expected the series to not continue. But now it seems that Disney is serious about producing another Apes film but the question remains if Ball will deliver a direct continuation of the film following 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes or an entirely new take on the franchise.
Babette’s
Feast Set For Remake
The 80s classic European drama, Babette’s Feast is set for an American
remake with director Alexander Payne. The director who previously helmed Sideways and Downsizing will be tasked in reimagining the 1987 classic for a new
audience. The original film was centred during the late 19th century
and revolved around a French refugee who cooks up a feast for some of her
town’s citizens. Payne’s take is rumoured to take place in America revolving
around two sisters who confront their prejudices during a meal.
That’s a wrap, Na’vi Nation! 💙
