Movies on Hold: Hollywood Projects Stalled and the Future of Cinema

2023-07-15 12:41:14

And without forgetting ‘Gladiator 2’ or ‘Wicked, part 1’. Storm is coming…

Well, it would be chimpun. Hollywood has imploded in on itself and it has led to the closure of dozens of projects in one fell swoop and for an indeterminate period of time. What does that mean? That we will still have a few months of prosperity with films that were already in post-production, but between 2024 and 2025 an interesting drought awaits us that can reshape the future of cinema. Don’t you believe us? Attentive to This list of movies that have stopped filming immediatelybecause it would be easier to talk regarding the ones that are still being shot.

‘Deadpool 3’

If a little while ago the first image of Hugh Jackman in the classic Wolverine costume in ‘Deadpool 3’ went viral, today you will have to keep it in your closet until the SAG reaches an agreement with studies, something that today seems very, very distant. Originally filming was to end in Septemberbut this hiatus, added to that of the writers’ strike, makes it impossible for The Merc with a Mouth to respect its release date of May 3 of next year.

‘Bitelchús 2’

within the genre “sequels that nobody asked for in the last ten years at least” there is ‘Bitelchús 2’, in which Michael Keaton repeats an iconic character, as he already did in ‘Flash’, trying to squeeze as much nostalgia as possible. Joining him are Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton as director. Half of the movie has already been shot. (the UK part) but there’s still a lot to record in the US. Another that will not arrive until September 6, 2024.

‘Juror No. 2’

It’s like Fate would not want Clint Eastwood to stop making movies: ‘Juror No. 2’ had been rumored for months to be his last film, and following just a month of filming it has become clear that this trial still has a long way to go. We’ll see if, when we return, Eastwood has changed his mind and we can still enjoy him for a few more years.

‘Gladiator 2’

Russell Crowe has actively and passively called for they stop giving him the tabara with ‘Gladiator 2’ because it doesn’t come out in any way. His place is occupied by Paul Mescal … or he occupied it before the start of the strike. The good thing is that the break He has caught them filming in Malta and they can take the opportunity to go sightseeing in a beautiful place. One piece of advice: you cannot miss the Blue Grotto. You’re welcome, Paul.

‘Wicked, parte 1’

“No one mourns the wicked”, they sing in the first great song of the Broadway adaptation of the book ‘Wicked’, but someone has to cry following this break. This musical is a true marvel that in cinema can be spectacular and that, in fact, it will have Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the main roles. It was preparing for Christmas 2024, so depending on how long the strike lasts and how fast they are in post-production, a priori they might still arrive. I wouldn’t bet my money on it, mind you.

‘Twisters’

Yet another film in the genre “What? Why?”: the sequel to ‘Twister’ that comes almost thirty years following the original. It started out as a remake, went through the process of being a sequel that would kill Helen Hunt’s character, and has now become a pseudo-second part with the fictional children of Hunt and Paxton as the protagonists. A sindió who will wait for the storm to pass to continue.

‘The amateur’

Perhaps ‘Parallel Secret Services’, a 1981 film with John Savage and Christopher Plummer, will ring a bell. This new adaptation of the original book by Robert Littell was in the works for next year starring Rami Malek, Rachel Brosnahan and Laurence Fishburne. However, this spy drama will have to stop following 14 years looking for financingand probably won’t make it to the November 2024 date. Let’s wait!

‘The Killer’

John Woo a self-remake of his original 1989 film has been assembled, although it was not even going to go through theaters, but directly through Peacock. In this case, she will change Chow Yun-Fat for Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei in ‘Game of Thrones’) and It doesn’t look like many people are going to mourn this unexpected delay.

Horror film from Radio Silence

Although many of us didn’t give a penny for the new sequels to ‘Scream’, the truth is that Radio Silence, which is behind both them and ‘Wedding Night’ or the new versions of ‘V/H/S’, managed to hit the nail on the head. Now they were going to give their take on classic Universal horror movies, but they will have to wait to be able to finish it.

‘Bad Boys 4’

The saga formerly known as ‘Two rebel cops’ and which It marks the return of Will Smith to the front line following the slap at the Oscars I only had a couple more weeks of filming, but the actors had to stop leaving the directors, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who repeat in the saga, waiting to finish the adventures of these policemen and check if Smith is still poison at the box office or the public has already forgiven him.

‘Mission Impossible: Deadly Judgment – Part 2’

After the hectic first part, there are many of us who are looking forward to seeing How Ethan Hunt’s adventures in search of Sevastopol culminate. Originally, the filming was going to start following the promotional tour of the seventh part, but it will not be possible. Tom Cruise will be able to continue preparing for that sequence that -we do not doubt it- is going to take our breath away once once more. Of course, something tells us that as of June 24, 2024, they do not even arrive in a hurry.
