Production is officially underway on Christopher Nolan's[3] next film, the World War II-based Dunkirk, which chronicles the evacuation of the city during the British military operation that saved 330,000 lives as Allied soldiers were surrounded by German forces. Nolan is directing from an original screenplay he wrote himself with Warner Bros. pictures describing the film as an "action-thriller." Nolan will reteam with his Interstellar cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema with the movie featuring a cast led by Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, and newcomer Fionn Whitehead, with One Direction member Harry Styles also a part of the ensemble. Dunkirk opens in theaters on July 21, 2017.
At an event last night at Blumhouse Pictures, producer Jason Blumhouse announced legendary Master of Horror director John Carpenter will executive produce a new movie in the Halloween[4] series. Miramax and Blumhouse Productions are co-financing production of the project with longtime series producer Malek Akkad overseeing the project under his Trancas International Films banner. The new movie will be the first Halloween film since 2009's Halloween II, director Rob Zombie's sequel to his 2007 remake. In a statement about the movie, John Carpenter said they were goin g back to the basics of Michael Myers, making him a force of nature again and not a "character." While no other details have been revealed on whether it's a straight reboot, spin-off or continuation of the previous series, Blumhouse and Carpenter are aiming for a Halloween, 2017 release date with the hopes of signing on a seasoned director.
Joss Whedon may be on a break from Marvel movies but that doesn't mean he's slowing down. In an exclusive interview with The Wrap, Whedon, who was at the HeForShe Media Summit in Los Angeles being honored for his work on behalf of women's right, revealed some clues about his next project, currently in the scripting stages. Speaking a bit about the story, Whedon told the Wrap that it's a story about a girl that goes through some unbelievable sh-t, with him hoping to get some traction on the third act of the script.

I was really excited to hear about the bio pic on Andre the Giant. My question is about the how much success does this movie have to have in order to see bio pics on other wrestlers, and who would you like to see getting their own movie? I personally would like to see Roddy Piper and Brett Hart. Thanks for all that you guys and gals do.
