Taken 2 Movie Update!!!
A couple of months ago, from the LA Times came word that the Liam Neeson thriller “Taken” has a sequel in the works and now according to Variety, EuropaCorp founder Luc Besson announced that the company has initiated development on “Taken 2.”
For the sequel, Besson and veteran writer Robert Mark Kamen (Transporter 1,2,3, Bandidas) will again collaborate on the script. There is no word whether Neeson will return for the second installment.
“Taken” was directed by Pierre Morel. It starred Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen and Holly Valance.
Neeson plays a father who traveling through Europe embarks on a frantic quest to rescue his daughter (Maggie Grace) after the young girl is abducted by slave traders in District B13 director Pierre Morel’s contemporary thriller Taken.
“Taken” earned $145 Million in domestic box office and another $77 million internationally.
300 Sequel Update!!!
Zack Snyder, director of “300″ revealed that Frank Miller is currently writing and drawing a “300″ sequel (entirely new graphic novel, that he would then adapt once it was finished)
Here’s what he had to say:
“I think we would use the same technology… I don’t want it to look too Star Wars-ian… Just from what [Miller] told me, it would be bigger as far as landscape and terrain. We’re going to see Athens and the Aegean and other places. There would be an opportunity for bigger visions, though I’d hope for the same aesthetic. The tech we used for 300 was not a revolution. It’s basically what the weatherman has. Look, instead of Accuweather it’s Sparta… It’s going to be the same way, but on crazier steroids.”
Based on the Miller Graphic novel, the 2006 film starred Gerard Butler as King Leonidas who, along with a force of 300 men, wages a battle against the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
Snyder has said in the past that he will definitely direct “300″ sequel, and that it will take place between the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of Plataea, the battle that narrator Dilios is at while re-telling the story of King Leonidas and the Spartans to a new group of warriors at the end of “300″.

Lonely Bones Movie Update!!!
An adaptation of the Alice Sebold New York Times best-selling novel, "The Lovely Bones," tells the story of Susie Salmon, who is murdered, but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. Although she is detached from the world she once knew, Susie witnesses the impact of her loss on her loved ones, whilst her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again. In a tone that is both emotionally truthful, and darkly humorous, Susie tries to balance her desire for vengeance against the love she feels for her family and her need to see them heal; and ultimately comes to understand that the concept of family can encompass both the living and the dead.
In "The Lovely Bones Movie," Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz play the parents of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), the child who narrates the story from heaven. Stanley Tucci plays the killer in hiding.
It was announced the day before "The Lovely Bones" commenced filming that original star Ryan Gosling was replaced by Mark Wahlberg.
What's interesting is that Paramount Pictures (orginally) did not positioning "The Lovely Bones Movie" for consideration at the "2009 Academy Awards." The movie, which Peter Jackson finishes directing in and around Pennsylvania January 2008, would have had plenty of time to be edited and garner a Christmas 2008 release date, which would have made it eligible for the "2009 Oscars." Now, however, the movie has a December 2009 release date penciled in, which allows for it to be a top competitor at the "2010 Oscars."

Transformers 2 Blows Up The Box Office!!!
Going into the weekend, there was no doubt Michael Bay's anticipated sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, would be huge, though few thought it could open as big as last summer's biggest blockbuster, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, at least not based on the awful reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. After grossing just over $60 million on Wednesday (a record for the weekday opening) and another $29 million on Thursday, the sequel brought in an estimated $112 million over the weekend for a total of $201.2 million in its first five days. Besides setting a record for a June opening, surpassing 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Bay's latest grossed the second-largest amount over a five-day period after The Dark Knight's $203.8 million. The IMAX Corporation reports that the movie had the best five-day gross, grossing $14.4 million in its first five days on 169 IMAX screens, nearly double what the 5th "Harry Potter" movie did two years ago. "Revenge of the Fallen" became the third-largest worldwide opening weekend grosser, earning $274 million and beating out last summer's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The film has become Paramount's biggest international opener of all time, again besting "Indy 4" for the top honor, and ranking as the industry's fourth-biggest opening of all time abroad. The sequel has taken in $387 million worldwide to date.
The Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal (Disney/Touchstone) dropped to second place, off 45% from its opening weekend with $18.5 million and a ten-day total of $69 million. Todd Phillips' hit comedy The Hangover (Warner Bros.) dropped to third place with $17.2 million and a total gross of $183 million, making it the third-highest grossing R-rated comedy. It has the breakout R-rated comedy Wedding Crashers in its sights and will pass it sometime in the next few weeks.
With roughly $13 million grossed over the weekend, Disney•Pixar's animated-adventure Up became the top grossing movie of 2009, surpassing J.J. Abrams' Star Trek with a total gross of $250 million after five weeks. It's currently the fourth-highest grossing movie for Pixar Animation, although it should move into second place behind Finding Nemo sometime next month.
Offered as counter-programming to Bay's latest explosion-filled epic was Nick (The Notebook) Cassavetes' adaptation of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper (New Line/WB) starring Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin, which opened with an estimated $12 million in 2,606 theaters, averaging $4,616 per location.
The Sony comedy Year One, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, tanked in its second weekend, dropping 70% to sixth place with $5.8 million and a ten-day total of $32.2 million. Sony's other summer offering, Tony Scott's The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, took seventh place with $5.4 million and a total of $53.4 million, compared to its reported production budget of $100 million.
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (Paramount) took eighth place with $3.6 million, bringing its total to $246 million, while Ben Stiller's comedy sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (20th Century Fox) dropped to ninth place with $3.5 million and a total gross of $163 million.
Sam Mendes' road comedy Away We Go, starring Jon Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, expanded into 495 theaters, allowing it to break into the Top 10 with $1.7 million and a four-week total of $4 million.
The Top 10 grossed almost $193 million, making it the top grossing three-day weekend for 2009, up 9% from this weekend last year when Pixar's WALL•E and Timur Bekmambetov's Wanted dominated with $113 million between them.
Opening in limited release was Stephen Frears' period comedy Chéri, reteaming him with Michelle Pfeiffer for the first time since Dangerous Liaisons, and it grossed $408 thousand in 76 theaters, averaging roughly $5 thousand per venue. Kathryn Bigelow's bomb-squad thriller The Hurt Locker (Summit) opened in four theaters in New York and L.A. where it grossed $144 thousand, or $36k per site.
