00:00 Welcome to Kino-Check News, featuring the most important information from Hollywood
00:07 and more.
00:08 This week, Disney is embarking on a live-action marathon.
00:12 Netflix is now filming Avatar The Last Airbender after the success of One Piece, Kick-Ass is
00:16 set to get a reboot, and The Gargoyles will soon be seen again as a live-action series.
00:22 There is also news about the King's Man sequel and the Halloween cinematic universe.
00:26 Sounds interesting?
00:27 Until then, stay tuned.
00:31 Update on The King's Man.
00:32 With the prequel, The King's Man, released in 2021, director Matthew Vaughn introduced
00:37 us to the origins of the popular agent organization.
00:40 Now a second part will follow, which will focus on Hitler's rise to power.
00:44 With Kingsman, The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn released one of the most popular
00:49 movies of the year in 2014, which not only turned out to be a worldwide success, but
00:53 also marked the start of a new franchise.
00:56 In 2015, we were treated to The King's Man, a prequel starring Ralph Fiennes, which dealt
01:00 with the backstory of the agent organization.
01:02 Although the movie was not a great financial success, Vaughn seems to still have faith
01:06 in the potential of his franchise and now announced a sequel during the New York Comic
01:10 Con.
01:11 In an interview with Collider, he reported that the next part will deal with the rise
01:14 of Hitler, who already made an appearance in the mid-credit scenes of the predecessor.
01:18 The latter is played by the German actor David Cross.
01:21 Vaughn wanted the movie to be a reminder of the dangers of fascism and drew parallels
01:25 to the present day, saying, "I look at the world at the moment, everyone getting distracted
01:29 and worrying about this and that, and if you worry too much about this, bad things can
01:33 happen here."
01:34 While the director obviously has many creative ideas for the next chapter of his action franchise
01:38 up his sleeve, it remains unclear for now whether The Traitor King will be produced
01:43 as a feature film or as a TV series.
01:45 So fans of Vaughn should get their money's worth in the next few years, since after all,
01:50 with Kingsman 3 and the reboot of Kick-Ass, two more projects have been announced that
01:54 are already being eagerly awaited.
01:58 Asses are being kicked once again.
02:00 With the superhero satire Kick-Ass, director Matthew Vaughn may have completely shaken
02:04 up the superhero genre in 2010.
02:06 The extremely cynical film not only came with a fair amount of violence, but also helped
02:11 actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz achieve their breakthrough in Hollywood.
02:15 Now a reboot is to follow with Part 3, which could also cause another sensation.
02:20 It's been 10 years since we were given a sequel to the popular predecessor in the form
02:23 of Kick-Ass 2.
02:25 Although the movie did not really come close to the level of the first Kick-Ass, it was
02:28 still quite successful and therefore fans wondered if and when a third part would follow.
02:33 At this year's New York Comic Con, director Matthew Vaughn finally lifted the secret around
02:37 Kick-Ass 3 and announced that another part will indeed follow.
02:41 In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Vaughn revealed that Part 3 will be a reboot
02:45 and will present us with new characters.
02:46 A return of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz or Christopher Mintz-Plass is currently
02:51 not planned, as the reboot is deliberately meant to go in a totally different direction.
02:55 Nonetheless, it would not be out of the question to bring back the characters in a later part.
03:00 Speaking to Syfy, Vaughn stressed that Kick-Ass 3 would be something that had never done before
03:04 in terms of movies and that ideally they would like to start shooting in early 2024.
03:09 Whether the movie will be able to convince without the popular characters Kick-Ass and
03:13 Hit-Girl remains to be seen.
03:14 However, Vaughn assured that we can expect some great fun that will be talked about for
03:19 quite a while.
03:20 We can't wait!
03:23 After the success of One Piece, now comes Avatar.
03:27 While the pirate series One Piece continues to enjoy great popularity, the next big live-action
03:31 adaptation, Avatar The Last Airbender, is already in the pipeline.
03:35 Netflix has now published a number of new images that shows us the antagonists of the
03:39 series.
03:40 The live-action remake of the popular anime series, Avatar The Last Airbender, is likely
03:45 to be one of the biggest and most hotly anticipated projects for which the streaming service Netflix
03:49 will be responsible next year.
03:51 There is considerable skepticism, since the first live-action version of The Last Airbender
03:55 was released in 2010 and did not enjoy a good reputation among fans.
04:00 The success of One Piece should nevertheless provide for a more optimistic attitude towards
04:04 the Avatar series, and the first images that showed us the main characters of the series
04:08 were also very convincing.
04:10 Now the streaming giant Netflix is back with a bunch of new photos, this time featuring
04:14 the antagonists of Fire Nation.
04:17 So we see actor Daniel Dae Kim in the distinctive outfit of Fire Lord Ozai, Paul Sung-Hyung
04:22 Lee as fan-favorite Uncle Iroh, and Ken Myung as Commander Zhao.
04:27 Princess Azula, who is played by newcomer Elizabeth Yu, is set to make a strong impression,
04:31 as is actor Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko, who hunts down the Avatar.
04:35 The live-action version of Avatar The Last Airbender does not have an exact release date
04:39 at present, but it is expected to debut in 2024.
04:43 The first season will consist of eight episodes, and it can currently be assumed that the adaptation
04:47 will be based on the first season of the original anime.
04:53 Disney's live-action campaign is set to continue.
04:56 According to first rumors, a number of further remakes are to follow, including Tarzan, the
05:01 mega-hit Frozen, as well as The Princess and the Frog and Tangled.
05:04 The rumor that Disney apparently wants to make a number of other animated films has
05:09 been circulating on the internet for several days.
05:11 The target is said to be movies that continue to enjoy great popularity among fans.
05:16 The Insider reports that four new live-action remakes are in the works.
05:20 Remakes of Tarzan, Frozen, Tangled, and The Princess and the Frog are said to be on the
05:24 company's schedule, and are already in an early stage of development.
05:28 Since Disney has not yet commented on the rumors, this announcement should be taken
05:31 with a grain of salt.
05:33 It would be feasible nonetheless, since we can expect a multitude of remakes in the next
05:36 few years, all of which are based on the cartoon and animation classics.
05:41 Rumors about the remake of Tangled have been going on for several months, and Florence
05:44 Pugh is said to have been cast as the Disney Princess.
05:47 We will keep on monitoring further developments.
05:52 The Gargoyles are coming back.
05:54 The popular animated series, which aired from 1994 to 1997 and must have enriched the afternoons
05:59 of many young people, is receiving a reboot.
06:02 It will be directed by two outright horror experts.
06:05 The gloomy animated series Gargoyles, which is about a group of monstrous warriors, is
06:09 probably one of the most popular and special animated productions of the 90s, along with
06:14 DuckTales and Darkwing Duck.
06:16 As The Hollywood Reporter informs, Disney is currently planning to bring back the iconic
06:20 stone monsters via a live-action reboot, for which James Wan and Gary Dauberman will be
06:25 in charge with their production company, Atomic Monster.
06:28 Wan and Dauberman are regarded as experts in their field, and have already teamed up
06:32 on several occasions, including the Annabelle franchise, the Conjuring prequel The Nun,
06:37 as well as the recently released Megan.
06:39 It remains unclear when exactly the series will come out.
06:42 Currently, the project is still in a relatively early stage of development and will therefore
06:46 probably take some time to complete.
06:48 However, we will make sure to keep you up to date as always.
06:53 Michael Myers is coming home.
06:55 After a long back and forth, the production studio Miramax was able to acquire the television
07:00 rights to the Halloween franchise, and is now planning an entire universe that will
07:05 comprise both movies and series.
07:07 Miramax will be in charge of several Halloween TV projects in the coming years.
07:11 The production studio was able to win the rights in the course of negotiations and has
07:15 signed a wide-ranging contract with Trankus for the development and co-production of a
07:19 Halloween TV series, which is to usher in an entire cinematic universe.
07:24 Mark Helwig, head of global TV at Miramax, will provide creative oversight for the franchise,
07:29 working closely with Trankus International Films executives.
07:33 Trankus most recently produced the Halloween feature film trilogy for Miramax and Blumhouse
07:37 directed by David Gordon Green.
07:39 In an interview with Deadline, Mark Helwig expressed his excitement about the future
07:43 of the franchise.
07:44 "We are thrilled to expand our long and successful partnership with Trankus and the
07:48 brilliant Malek Akkad in introducing this iconic franchise to a new form of storytelling
07:53 and a new generation of fans."
07:55 Miramax and Halloween have been associated with each other for ages, as the production
07:59 studio has been behind all 13 movie adaptations of the franchise.
08:06 Through Hell to Paradise This is the path taken by the character Dante,
08:10 played by Oscar Isaac, in the new crime thriller In the Hand of Dante, which may be released
08:14 as soon as next year.
08:16 In the Hand of Dante tells the story of the scholar Nick, who is hired by the mafia to
08:20 check the authenticity of the popular manuscript of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy.
08:26 In parallel, the story of Dante himself is also told, who flees to Sicily to begin writing
08:30 his work.
08:31 The movie will be produced by the great Martin Scorsese and directed by Julian Schnabel,
08:35 who already impressed with his biopic At Eternity's Gate.
08:38 As Deadline reports, the movie will have an impressive cast.
08:41 Oscar Isaac is to assume the role of Dante.
08:44 He will be joined by Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, and action star Gerard Butler.
08:49 Thanks to a provisional agreement with SAG-AFTRA, production has already begun and filming is
08:53 currently taking place in Venice.
08:55 So the chances are good that the film could already celebrate its premiere next year.
09:01 That's it for this week's news.
