Sci-fi fans are already ahead of the New Year.
In October, Asimov's adaptation of the drama "Base" was launched;
The collector-level blockbuster "Dune" adapted from the science fiction novel of the same name officially landed in domestic theaters;
Don't think you're done after seeing these two works.
There are many more films in the pipeline that have new developments.
(1) Za directed the new film "Moon Rebels" to start casting
Although "Army of the Living Dead" has a poor reputation, with its good number of hits, Netflix is willing to continue to spend money on former DC universe planner Zach Schneider. The two sides signed a new cooperation agreement.
Za said that the new work "Moon Rebels" will be the largest big production of his career, and it is estimated to be even grander than the opening scene of the kryptonian destruction of "Superman: Man of Steel".
Army of the Living Dead is working on a series of spin-offs, but it's more of a test for Netflix.
And this "Moon Rebel" seems to be an important work that Za Dao really wants to create a new cinematic universe IP.
The story presumably focuses on a colony on the edge of the galaxy, threatened by a terrible army, where people send a young woman with a mysterious past to a neighboring planet in search of warriors to help them out of their predicament.
The project has now entered the casting stage, and Sophia Podora, who played the villain in "Ace Agent: Secret Agent Academy" and "The New Mummy", joined as the first cast, possibly playing the mysterious woman in the plot synopsis.
(2) Nolan's new film adds two super giants
Although the new film of science fiction film Christopher Nolan is not a science fiction theme, I believe that science fiction fans will not miss his new work.
After all, robert downey jr. and Matt Damon, two Hollywood superstars, will join.
Previously, Kirian Murphy and Emily Blunt have confirmed to play the male and female number one, so both will be supporting roles.
According to sources, Matt Damon may play the role of Major General Leslie Groves, the leader of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey Jr. will be a villain, with Lewis Strauss, who is hostile to the protagonist Oppenheimer.
The budget for Oppenheimer was only $100 million.
Even if Robert Downey Jr. only plays supporting roles, the salary should not be less, so the star actors may account for about one-third of the total budget.
Then it is more likely to be a pure biopic of the target awards season.
(3) Bradley Cooper wants to make "Hyperion"
The science fiction novel "Hyperion", which is as difficult to adapt as "Dune", has finally finally had a possibility of setting up a project after the successful establishment of the sequel to the movie "Dune".
Bradley Cooper, who voiced Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Universe and was a producer who had produced awards season hits such as "Joker" and "A Star Is Born", wanted to make "Hyperion" for his first project after officially establishing his own production company.
Cooper had previously been involved in the hayberian adaptation, but it never worked out. This time, he will work with "Bohemian Rhapsody" producer Graham King to produce, and the writers will temporarily finalize Tom Spitzali of the series "Ghostbusters", and the co-distribution company is Warner.
Like Dune, Hyperion is a space opera.
Also in the distant future, humanity established hegemony in the galaxy. The story focuses on a mysterious border planet, "Hyperion", where seven pilgrims from different planets embark on a pilgrimage to this planet in search of answers related to their respective lives.
(4) The domestic drama version of "Three-Body Problem" was released as a trailer
Perhaps taking advantage of the Netflix version of "Three-Body" to confirm the starring lineup, causing heated discussion among fans, the domestic drama version of "Three-Body" produced by Tencent issued an official trailer.
This is the first time in the history of the audience to see the official picture of the live-action version of "The Three-Body Problem".
Some people are still not optimistic, thinking that the trailer did not meet expectations, and the special effects generally thought that it was not enough to see.
Some people also believe that the funding of TV dramas is already limited, and it is already good that special effects can have this effect.
And the original original original did not care about the special effects, the plot is the focus.
Zhang Luyi, Yu Hewei, these powerful actors gave the audience a lot of confidence, but the trailer, to tell the truth, the lines seem to be a bit blunt (probably because of the editing), the texture and sound effects are OK, overall, it is definitely not amazing.
It can only be hoped that the script is deeply polished like "The Wandering Earth", and the filmmakers know how to focus on the plot and serve the fans first, rather than imposing commercial elements.
The drama version of "Three-Body Problem" is expected to air in 2022, and it may be possible to launch it before the Netflix version.
