FILM NEWS - 'The Dark Tower', 'The Inbetweeners Movie 2' and 'The Rocketeer'

Warner Bros. Drops Out Of The Dark Tower

Bringing Stephen King's epic The Dark Tower to the screen has been a project that has been treading water for a long time. A few weeks back we reported potential involvement of Russel Crowe, but it seems it's not to be, now that Warner Bros. have dropped out of the project. It's becoming increasingly more likely that the trilogy of films with a joint TV series will never see the light of day.

The Inbetweeners Movie 2?

It is real. There are plans underway for a sequel to last summer's smash hit, The Inbetweeners Movie. There have been rumours, but are the rumours true?

"Sort of, yes." Said co-creator Iain Morris, "We've got an idea, think we'd like to do it if we can make it good, but we're a long way from it really happening. Long way."

So it's in the works?

"Yes. I think we all want it to happen, but the 'ifs' are quite big."

Who wants another Inbetweeners Movie?

The Rocketeer Reboot?

Rumours have started to circulate that Disney are planning to make a reboot of the cult classic film Rocketeer. The original - which starred Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly and Timothy Dalton - didn't make much at the box office, but has harvested alot of fans over the 20 years since it was released. Vulture have reported that Disney "will soon be meeting with various writers to come up with a take".
