Shawn Levy. It also stars Zoe Saldana, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner.

Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world. The three working together, both young and grown Adam come to terms with the loss of their father and have a chance to heal the wounds that have shaped them.

NEW MOVIE ADAPTATION
ELEANOR OLYPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE FILM
As 'Deadline' reports, Harry Bradbeer is to direct the movie adaptation of Gail Honeyman's ELEANOR OLYPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE book, sold in over two million copies around the world. Eleanor Oliphant struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s
Reese Witherspoon is producing
thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding unnecessary human contact, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen, the three rescue one another from the lives of isolation that they had been living. Ultimately, it is Raymond’s big heart that will help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. If she does, she'll learn that she, too, is capable of finding friendship—and even love—after all.
Smart, warm, uplifting, this is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes the only way to survive is to open your heart.
You can bet that Netflix is expecting this one to break all possible streaming records and score over one hundred million views as they have already paid Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson $20 million each for their roles in action adventure RED NOTICE which arrives to the streamer November 12th. With the total budget of shocking $200 million, this is the most expensive film ever over at Netflix. Directed and written by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the film also stars Chris Diamantopoulos! This action packed comedy action will also get a release in selected cinemas from November 5th. Red notice in the title refers to the most

RED NOTICE PLOT
When an Interpol issued Red Notice - the highest level warrant to hunt and capture the world's most wanted- goes out, the FBI's top profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) is on the case. His global pursuit finds him smack dab in the middle of a daring heist where he's forced to partner with the world's greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch the world's most wanted art thief, 'The Bishop' (Gal Gadot). The high flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each other's company!

WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN
CASTS LAURENCE O'FUARAIN
Laurence O'Fuarain will be Fjall
Netflix has cast Michelle Yeoh a few days ago in their six episode prequel series THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN which will be set a thousand years before the original series depicting the origin of witchers, but I forgot to tell you that Laurence O'Fuarain was also cast previously. He will play Fjall. Born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King, Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. A scar that won’t let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent in turmoil. Sophia Brown will play Éile, an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician.
While most films are getting their premiere dates postponed for a year or more this very moment (from new James Bond, Batman, Flash and Dune toMatrix 4, and Wonder woman 2 might too) some new projects are getting orders! Over at Amazon they've set Gemma Burgess, the author of Brooklyn Girls book, to turn 2016 novel MY LADY JANE, from Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, into a historical fantasy adventure drama. It is a comic supernatural tale of true love and high adventure, set in an alternate England in 1553, a country on the verge of civil war. The series takes the tale of one of history’s most tragic heroines Lady Jane Grey but reimagines it with an uplifting twist: the damsel in distress saves herself — and then the kingdom.
'FREE GUY' NEW TRAILER
WITH RYAN REYNOLDS AS THE HERO THE WORLD NEEDS
Free Guy arrives Dec. 11th if corona allows
The proof that some films will keep their 2020 opening dates is comedy movie FREE GUY with Ryan Reynolds which is hitting cinemas December 11th and you can check out a brand new trailer and poster for it today! Because, as the trailer says: The world needed a good guy. They got a great guy. FREE GUY sees Ryan Reynolds playing a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, and he decides to become the hero of his own story, determined to save his world before it is too late. Also starring Jodie Comer, the film was directed by Shawn Levy for 20th Century Fox. The film was originally meant for summer 2020.
That is what the first trailer for the sequel of Dreamworks' animated adventure THE CROODS: A NEW AGE says. Even though the original

SETH ROGEN TO
GET INTO AN AMERICAN PICKLE
Meanwhile, over at HBO Max streaming service which will start its work at the end of May, they plan to stream Seth Rogen's new comedy AN AMERICAN PICKLE sometime this summer instead of releasing it in cinemas. In it, Seth Rogen plays Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling labourer who immigrates to America in 1920 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family. One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years (Told

But when he seeks out his family, he is troubled to learn that his only surviving relative is his great grandson, Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a mild mannered computer coder whom Herschel can’t even begin to understand.
'THE SHRINK NEXT DOOR'
PAUL RUDD'S COMEDY SERIES GETS APPLE TV ORDER
Paul Rudd leads the new Apple TV series
Their streaming rival Apple TV has given a series order to Paul Rudd's and Will Ferell's comedy series THE SHRINK NEXT DOOR after winning the rights on it in a heated war. Inspired by true events, the eight episode series follows the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf (Paul Rudd) and his longtime patient Martin "Marty" Markowitz (Will Ferrell). During the course of their relationship, the all too charming Ike slowly takes over Marty’s life, even moving into Marty’s home and assuming control of his family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor patient dynamic morphs into an unprecedentedly exploitative one filled with manipulation, power grabs and dysfunction at its finest.
I don't think we've seen him in an epic adventure so far, but I do think he'd be perfect in it: as The Hollywood Reporter writes today, Netflix and Ryan Reynolds are teaming up again, this time on the movie adaptation of legendary arcade game DRAGON'S LAIR which was hugely popular back in the 80s. Dan and Kevin Hageman who wrote The Lego Movie (and are also writing Croods 2 in which Ryan lends his voice) are set to pen the story here as well.
Beside producing, Ryan Reynolds would also play the lead protagonist, a
knight called Dirk the Daring, who gets the task of rescuing Princess
Daphne from the evil dragon Singe and a wizard named Mordroc.
Ryan Reynolds is also set to star, next to Will Ferrell, in a musical movie version of A Christmas Carol based on Charles Dickens's story of a miserly misanthrope who is taken on a magical journey.
Earlier this weekend the first trailer for new comedy movie FREE GUY was released and its star Ryan Reynolds says it is his favourite film he ever made. The story is set in the brutal, open world video game Free City, in which he plays Guy, a non player character (NPC), working as a bank teller.
Thanks to a code developed by programmers Milly and Keys, inserted
into Free City by the publisher Antoine, Guy suddenly becomes aware of
his world being a video game, and takes steps to make himself the hero,
creating a race against time to save the game before the developers can
shut it down. The action comedy, directed by Night At The Museum's Shawn
Levy, will open at

What's the best part of being dead? It isn't escaping your boss, your ex, or even erasing your criminal record. The best part about being dead...is the freedom. The freedom to fight the injustice and evil that lurk in our world without anyone or anything to slow you down or tell you "no." 6 Underground introduces a new kind of action hero. Six individuals from all around the globe, each the very best at what they do, have been chosen not only for their skill, but for a unique desire to delete their pasts to change the future. The team is brought together by an enigmatic leader (Ryan Reynolds), whose sole mission in life is to ensure that, while he and his fellow operatives will never be remembered, their actions damn sure will.
Well this would be the most adorable duo we've ever seen on the big screens! According to Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski might star together in new movie titled IMAGINARY FRIENDS which Paramount is about to grab for itself. John Krasinski will both direct and write it, while Ryan Reynolds will also produce it.

A Huge Buzz Among Studios
The project caused a hot frenzy among the studio bosses when it was offered to them earlier this week. Ryan Reynolds already sold another high profile project earlier this month to Apple and also for a massive price, a musical comedy version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Krasinski is currently finishing A Quiet Place sequel.
