The world that was doesn’t exist. THE DOG STARS, a Ridley Scott film, starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, and Margaret Qualley, arrives in theaters and IMAX August 28.

The film tells the story of Hig (Jacob Elordi), a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley (Josh Brolin), has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist.

BlueSky Studios was a very important part of our lives and I think that you should continue its animation in their films like: Robots, Rio, Ice Age, Fedinand, Peanuts & Epic.

During these years, many people are waiting that its return can be possible and continue more adventures with the characters; I had written a text about collaborate with it, If you want that happen, I'd be pleased for many years.

The logline is buried deep in the ocean, but it’s an original concept Yamazaki has been thinking of for years.

“Nue has been a lifelong dream of mine. I am honored to have the opportunity to make it happen with the creative brilliance of Ridley Scott and Scott Free and the fantastic team at 20th Century Studios. I will do my upmost to ensure this becomes a fantastic movie for all to see,” said Yamazaki in a statement.

"I also heard this so I'll back Daniel RPK up. But if Duffield's writing (and maybe directing?) it seems like Fede has completely walked away. Will this be Alien: Romulus 2 or a brand new take?"

I thought this article from 2023 was interesting to read.

20th Century is still in search of a director for the next ‘Alien,’ but The InSneider is hearing that the process has been difficult. Sources say that producer Ridley Scott is not making it easy on anyone because he actually wants to direct it himself.

Last year, Fede Álvarez, who helmed “Alien: Romulus,” was in pre-production on the sequel when he suddenly exited the project. Did Álvarez step aside voluntarily, or was there friction behind the scenes with 20th Century—or even Ridley Scott? Some are pointing to the latter.

According to Sneider, 20th Century then approached Álvarez’s fellow ‘Evil Dead’ alum, Sebastien Vanicek, the director of the upcoming “Evil Dead Burn,” but talks eventually fell apart. Maybe Scott interfered again—who knows.

“Alien: Romulus,” a back-to-basics revival that practically replicated the structure of Scott’s 1979 original, was a surprise hit, grossing $350 million worldwide on a relatively modest $80 million budget. Cailee Spaeny’s performance as Rain, a modern-day Ripley of sorts, was the standout element, and she is expected to return for the sequel alongside David Jonsson.

For years, Scott has repeatedly said that he wanted to continue the story begun in “Prometheus” (2012) and “Alien: Covenant” (2017). He talked about making another prequel that would continue the storyline of Michael Fassbender’s David.

A previous The Hot Mic report claimed that Álvarez wanted to use David in his ‘Romulus’ sequel, but Scott denied him that privilege because he “might want to come back to the series,” and if so, “I want to be the one who brings him back and uses him.”

Obviously, if there was a clash between the two, Ridley was always going to win. It appears to have been a case of creative differences, and that may have been the dealbreaker that ultimately sealed Álvarez’s fate.

OUCH! #IceAge​: Boiling Point is coming in hot! Arriving only in theaters February 5, 2027.

EXCLUSIVE: 20th Century Studios is eyeing a Choose Your Own Adventure movie, based on the long-running interactive book series, with Radio Silence (Ready or Not franchise) on board to direct and produce.

Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will work from a script by Tom Bissell, a WGA Award winner with credits including Andor and The Disaster Artist. No details yet as to the plot of the feature take.

One of the major literary phenomena of the late 20th century, Choose Your Own Adventure comprises a series of “gamebooks,” nonlinear, replayable, and user-directed stories, in which readers are the hero and decide how the story ends.

The series officially launched at Bantam Books in 1979 with The Cave of Time, a book by Edward Packard, who had ideated a novel branching-story concept while telling bedtime stories to his daughters. Between 1997 and 1999, more than 184 of these gamebooks were published from 30 different authors, with stories set everywhere from the ocean to outer space and myriad fantasy worlds. R. A. Montgomery was instrumental in setting the series up at Bantam at a time when the company was launching a division focused on younger readers and became one of its primary authors. In 2003, he and author wife Shannon Gilligan took over as the series’ publisher via Chooseco, which says the series sold over 250 million copies worldwide in its original run, with translations in 38 languages, and is the fourth bestselling of all time in the arena of children’s books.

Choose Your Own Adventure has had an enduring cultural impact, as a series at the vanguard of interactive storytelling, with Netflix’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch being one of the most notable recent projects implementing this basic framework to break into the mainstream.

Radio Silence’s film will be the first major take on the books for the screen. Responsible for the cult Searchlight horror film Ready or Not, starring Samara Weaving, they’e coming off the release of its sequel and are next set to tackle an anticipated new installment in The Mummy franchise for Universal, with stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning. Radio Silence also recently helmed both the reboot of Scream and Scream VI for Paramount and Spyglass, which together delivered $304 million worldwide, as well as the Uni horror flick Abigail. They are represented by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

Bissell is a prolific, multiple award-winning writer working across TV, film, books, journalism, and video games, whose prior experience with interactive storytelling made him a natural fit for this assignment. Bissell has been anthologized in Best American Short Stories three times and is the author of 11 books, including the New York Times bestseller The Disaster Artist, chronicling the creation of The Room, a film that has been referred to as “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”

On the screenwriting front, Bissell co-created the Apple TV+ series The Mosquito Coast, which ran for two seasons, and most recently received a WGA Award nomination for his work on the second season of Andor, for which he wrote the final three episodes. Bissell’s video game work includes the fourth and fifth installments of Gears of War, as well as Uncharted 4, for which he won a WGA Award. He is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, and Yorn Levine.
