The ‘Solo’ Movie Will Likely Feature the Famed Kessel Run

While Michael Bay’s Transformers series may be at an end with the upcoming The Last Knight, there are a number of Transformers spinoffs in the works to keep the robots in disguise on the big screen for the next few years at least. One of these is the Bumblebee movie, and there are also talks of taking the robots back in time to the days of ancient Rome.
Writer Derek Kolstad Is Also Back for ‘John Wick 3’
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That seems to be the motto of the production team behind both John Wicks, as they’re bringing back their star, their director, and now their screenwriter for the third go-round.

‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Red Band Trailer: Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson Are Fiends Forever
The Hitman’s Bodyguard stars Ryan Reynolds as a protection agent hired to guard the life of an assassin who just happens to be his worst enemy. It’s the kind of situation that normally you’d only see in the most cliched fanfiction, but Reynolds and his co-star Samuel L. Jackson are so funny and have such a chemistry onscreen (at least as far as we can see from the trailers), that this might just work out perfectly. The new Red Band trailer certainly makes a case for it.
The Next ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Will Be Decided in June
The Star Wars saga might end with Episode IX, coming out in 2019, but Lucasfilm has already been hard at work expanding the universe and planning for more Star Wars and Star Wars-adjacent movies far, far into the future. We’ve already gotten Rogue One, which occurred, chronologically, somewhere between the prequels and the original trilogy, and focused on a group of small characters who turned the tide of the war whose names we might never had known. Then, we’ll get the Han Solo spinoff, something of a prequel in its own right, in summer 2018. But what’s next after that? Kathleen Kennedy says we’ll know in about a month.
Dwayne Johnson Laughs Off Bad ‘Baywatch’ Reviews, Because Joke’s on Us, We’re Getting a Franchise
It’s gotta be tough for actors and directors when folks don’t like their movie, especially when a lot of those folks are the critics driving the scores on review aggregation websites before the movie has a chance to hit theaters. Baywatch has officially been out since Wednesday, and the critical reception has been… less than great. Some regular non-critics seem to dig the film, which The Rock was quick to pick up on.
‘The Jetsons’ Movie to Be Developed, Possibly Directed by ‘Sausage Party’s Conrad Vernon
In today’s Things That Make You Go Hmm news: The new animated Jetsons movie, based on the popular Hanna-Barbera TV series, has brought one of Sausage Party’s co-directors, Conrad Vernon, on board to “develop” and probably also to direct the movie.
Mel Brooks and MGM Are Still Considering a ‘Spaceballs 2’
Mel Brooks is arguably the king of cult classics, having made a ton of movies in his heyday that are still just as funny now as they were in the ’70s and ’80s. And since the current climate in Hollywood is a combination of sequels, reboots, and nostalgia, it’s no wonder that at least one Brooks comedy is looking to get a sequel. Brooks recently revealed that he’s been chatting with MGM about the possibility of a sequel to his immortal Star Wars send-up Spaceballs.
