The D23 sneak peek of Maleficent turned out to be just a brief, unrevealing quote from Robert Stromberg with no accompanying images.  So we'll have to wait a few months longer to get a glimpse of the film.  Disney will almost certainly unveil images and footage in their biennial D23 Expo this August. Two years ago, the studio skipped the San Diego ComicCon in July and saved all their stars and films for their own 2011 D23 Expo.  They may stick to the same strategy this year.  The recent addition of Lucasfilms to a stable that already includes Marvel gives Disney an unmatched arsenal.  Aside from films already in production like Maleficent, Thor 2, Capt America 2 and The Muppets, there will probably also be a presentation for Star Wars Ep VII .   This year's D23 could conceivably outshine ComicCon.  If you are the sort who enjoys these events, tickets are already on sale and it should be worth checking out.

The parade of Oz merchandise from the Disney Store continues and gives us a good idea of what's in store for Maleficent.

Brad Pitt Passes On David Fincher's '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea'; Director May Not Helm 'House Of Cards' Season 2 Episodes

News by Edward Davis

A little clarification on THR's David Fincher/"20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" report. Yes, Disney is debating to shoot the 3D tentpole in Australia and as the trade reports there are lots of financial incentives to do so, but Fincher did his location scouting (and met with Aussie federal arts minister Simon Crean) six months ago. And yes, Brad Pitt is not set to star in the film, but that's not because his deal isn't done. Sources tell us Pitt officially passed on the David Fincher project after initially agreeing to take the lead about a month ago (the always finicky Pitt strikes again).
So where is "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" now status wise? Well, it's essentially greenlit with or without Pitt, the problem for Fincher is all the actors he wants -- the names are unclear at the moment, but Channing Tatum is one that came up -- aren't available to shoot until next year. This leaves 'Leagues' somewhat up in the air as it could have shot as soon as this summer, had a lead been ready (and that window seems to have closed regardless). So, what's Fincher to do? Well, he's weighing his options still. He's obviously been keeping busy having directed Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" music video recently. The thriller "Gone Girl" for Fox produced by Reese Witherspoon is a potential viable option for something to do in the interim before 'Leagues' could shoot, but it could also be a long enough comittment that it bumps the undersea adventure entirely which wouldn't be to anyone's liking.
There's the idling 'Dragon Tatoo' sequel, but for what should be obvious reasons, that project is going nowhere fast (and the sequel script by Steve Zaillian apparently needs a strong rewrite before it can go forward). Claims that Daniel Craig is asking for too much money are evidently hogwash and another smokescreen excuse as to why the sequel is still spinning its wheels (if anything it's Rooney Mara, paid an absolute pittance for the first film, that deserves and needs the raise). Don't expect that one to happen any time soon.
As for "House Of Cards," Fincher's excellent political series for Netflix starring Kevin Spacey and written by "Ides of March" screenwriter Beau Willimon, it's unclear if the director will be back to helm more episodes of the series due to his busy schedule and trying to figure out what his next feature is. Plus, considering James Foley, Carl Franklin, Allen Coulter, Charles McDougall and Joel Schumacher directed the episodes Fincher did not and the quality hardly dropped (he only helmed the first two of season one), insiders tell us that he feels like the series is in good hands and may not need him. The decision is up in the air as of right now, but "House Of Cards" starts shooting season two in March, so he'll have to make up his mind soon. We've also been told -- **spoilers (gasp)** -- a major character will be killed in season two. Who will it be? You'll have to stick around and watch the series to find out. -- with reporting by Rodrigo Perez

Disney Villains on a Scale From 1 to “Oh No They Didn’t”

The Disney Villains are all bad in their own maniacal, conspiring, fabulous way. But they each have some pretty evil “oh no they didn’t!” moments, which we’re about to rank right now…

The only thing Maleficent pulls off better than an evil plot is a black and purple cloak. Despite her elegance, she’s a party crasher, baby-napper, prince locker-upper, and eventually, a dragon. That’s why she gets an “oh no they didn’t” score of 9/10.

I totally understand the need to place watermarks on pictures.  I've felt the need to do the same as the practice of lifting without attribution is rampant and betrays a lack of appreciation for the effort.  But placing a watermark right over the text or the faces of people is annoying.   In this instance it makes it difficult to make out a few of the words. The need to place multiple watermarks must have been the result of past experience, but the middle mark could have been better positioned.

Australia

UPDATE:  THR has clarified that "Local reports that Brad Pitt will star in (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) are incorrect."  No surprise there.

When Brad was asked about the possibility of working on Capt. Nemo with David Fincher last November he said, "“I’d love to I mean, he’s my man.  He’s got a great take on it.  That’s just gonna be about schedule and time allocation.."  The attention-grabbing headline below from an Australian paper notwithstanding, there is nothing in the article itself or elsewhere to indicate that Brad has actually signed on.

Even Fincher's further involvement on the film hasn't been officially confirmed.  Disney placed a 3-month hold on him last October which lapsed without any definitive word and Fincher has since been linked to the adaptation of  the Gillian Flynn novel Gone Girl.  The sequel to Dragon Tattoo is also on his plate as Sony is interested in moving ahead with the next chapter of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy.  As Anne Thompson reported last December, "(Amy) Pascal says Fincher is game to return with a lower-priced model for the Steve Zaillian-penned sequel starring Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander."  For both Sony and Disney, the main sticking point has been the budget and it has become standard practice for studios to seek financial assistance from the local government which stands to benefit from a production's presence.

Brad and Angelina don't currently have projects in preproduction but Cleopatra looks like it's very close and Unbroken may loom right behind it.  Brad's statement about potential scheduling conflicts probably gives us a better idea of where he stands.  Another factor to consider is location since it may be difficult for Angelina to work on any of her upcoming projects from Australia.  It is of course possible for the Australian coast to stand-in for Hawaii or the Pacific Islands in Unbroken and it would be attractive if the country also provided financial assistance for the film.  But as she did with Blood & Honey, I think Angelina will go for authenticity and will try as much as possible to shoot in or close to the actual areas Zamperini visited -- which are several thousand miles north of Australia.

Australia Increasing Locations Incentive to Lure Disney's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' Shoot

7:02 PM PST 2/14/2013 by Pip Bulbeck

Local reports that Brad Pitt will star in the project, being developed by David Fincher, are incorrect, THR has learned.

SYDNEY -- The Australian government is ready to offer Disney a 30 percent locations rebate worth about AUS$20 million ($19.2 million) to shoot its remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Captain Nemo Down Under this year.
News Ltd. newspaper The Daily Telegraph said Disney executives are meeting with federal arts minister Simon Crean in Canberra on Thursday to finalize details of the incentive before the studio green lights the production. Crean has reportedly given government approval to the deal.
However, local reports that Brad Pitt will star are incorrect, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Disney location scouts are said to be considering the Village Roadshow Studios in Queensland, where Terra Nova was made, and Fox Studios in Sydney, home of The Wolverine, for the shoot, which will be biggest film ever to be made here.
The remake of the 1954 Jules Verne classic, which David Fincher is developing for Disney, is expected to exceed the 2,000 local jobs created during the recent filming of The Wolverine, which generated $80 million in local investment and contracted 850 local companies.
The Australian locations incentive currently sits as a 16.5% tax rebate for foreign productions, but the government provided The Wolverine with a 30 percent incentive to shoot here last year in a one-off arrangement. Locations marketing agency Ausfilm has been lobbying the government to increase the incentive to 30 percent permanently to counteract the strength of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. That has made production of big-budget features down under almost prohibitive in recent years.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt headed Down Under to film 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Captain Nemo

EXCLUSIVE by Simon Benson

The Daily Telegraph
February 15, 2013

BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie could soon be calling Australia home, with Hollywood executives expected to finalise a deal with the federal government this morning for the biggest blockbuster ever to be made in Australia.
The Daily Telegraph has learned executives from Disney in the US have been scouting locations in NSW and the Gold Coast over the past two weeks, for the final stages of a deal to shoot a mega-production remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Captain Nemo.
Arts Minister Simon Crean, who has been working with Hollywood to secure the film, last night confirmed he would be meeting Disney executives this morning at Parliament House in the hope of finalising the deal.
Shooting would be expected to begin in the next few months on the first remake of the the 1954 film, which starred Kirk Douglas, based on the 1870 science fiction classic written by French novelist Jules Verne. Sources said Disney was ready to go into pre-production as soon as the deal was done.
Pitt has been keenly sought to play the role of the story's hero Ned Land, with industry sources claiming that, if secured, he and his family - wife Jolie and their six children - would relocate to Australia for the shoot.
The film would be the largest production in Australian history and is expected to exceed the 2000 local jobs created during the recent filming of The Wolverine, which generated $80 million in local investment and contracted 850 local companies. Mr Crean has confirmed federal government approval and support for the film.
The Queensland and NSW governments are expected to offer similar incentives to support commencement of the project.
Sources have said much of the filming would be shot on location on the Gold Coast but Disney producers have also scouted locations in NSW and Victoria.
It is understood the Gillard government has offered a one-off incentive to the producers to secure the film for Australia. A $12 million incentive payment was made to the makers of Wolverine to ensure it was made here.
The high Australian dollar has made it harder to lure foreign films to Australia without government sweeteners because the 16 per cent tax offset for foreign films offered by the state government is seen as internationally uncompetitive.
Director David Fincher, of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo fame, who has worked with Pitt before - in the cult film Fight Club - is reported to have offered the role of the iconic harpooner Ned Land to Pitt late last year.

As far as big-budget extravaganzas go, there are a few that keenly attract our attention, and one of them is the proposed adaptation of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" that Disney is potentially mounting with director David Fincher and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns. A large-scale piece of mainstream entertainment crafted by the duo behind edgier recent fare like "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and "Contagion" is an intriguing idea. And when we talked to Burns about "Side Effects," his new psychosexual thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh (our review here), we had to ask him about the progress of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus.
When we asked where the movie was, exactly, in the pipeline, Burns sounded cautiously optimistic. "I think they're getting closer to pulling the trigger," he said. He continued: " The last time I talked to anybody about it, it did seem like it was slowly marching in a good direction. I desperately want that movie to get made because I'm a huge David Fincher fan and I just want to go to the movie." Burns says that since the last time he was on the project, he knows additional work has been done on the script. "I know that David did some more work on the script with Andy Kevin Walker, who is a brilliant writer and wrote 'Seven.'"
Burns then summed up Fincher thusly, speaking in a kind of appreciative awe: "David can do things that only David can do and so it's sort of a different world than other things. It needs to be David and he needs to have exactly the tools that he wants and it's kind of awesome to be around because he's visionary on a whole other level."
At one point Fincher had said that one of the reasons was excited about "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (which Disney had made memorably once before, with Kirk Douglas as Ned Land and James Mason as Captain Nemo) was the opportunity to make a science fiction film set during the Civil War. Burns said that their goal was to create a bold clash of personalities and ideologies.
"I think both of our goal was to make Captain Nemo, as he is in the book, a very complicated character, because there's some things that he say says and explores that are really profound and amazing but there is some behavior that he engages in that is horrific and criminal," Burns said. "And there's a really interesting triangle, between him and Ned Land and the Professor, of three things that continue to march through time since the Industrial Revolution, and that's technology and commerce and humanity. And these three things tugging at each other inside a submarine is what I wanted to get at."
Sounds pretty awesome and ambitious. And in 3D! "Yeah, in 3D no less," Burns confirmed.
So we'll how it develops, but if you need a fix of Fincher, "House Of Cards" is available on Netflix right now. Meanwhile, "Side Effects" opens on Friday.

Film bits

We already have 3 Stefans so we knew there also had to be 3 Maleficents.  We previously only knew of India Eisley who was cast very early on and they've now identified the 3rd, younger version.  We also have 3 Princess Auroras and since she's the daughter of Stefan, the story will obviously be spanning almost 3 decades.

The 2nd post that follows is from a gossip column in a Sydney paper that speculates that Brad could be headed there if he signs on for 20,000 Leagues.  And if the idea that a film that has not yet been greenlit has already settled on a shooting location wasn't farfetched enough, it proceeds to totally undermine its credibility with its final scoop -- that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is being eyed for the role of Capt. Nemo.   The thought will probably send Disney execs into hysterics.  The Rock starred in the sequel to the cheesy adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth, another Jules Verne book. The gossip columnists or their "source"/research assistants probably chanced upon his name while doing an IMDb search.  For starters, Capt. Nemo is older than Ned Land, the role Brad is supposed to have been offered (which should also rule out Will Smith).  And Fincher is unlikely to be interested in making the sort of film that would have The Rock as its lead.

Chelmsford schoolgirl stars in Disney movie with Angelina Jolie

Thursday, November 08, 2012

By Sophia Charalambous newsdesk@essexchronicle.co.uk

A SPRINGFIELD schoolgirl has swapped the classroom for the studios of Hollywood by starring as the young Angelina Jolie character in a new Disney blockbuster.
Isobelle Molloy, 12, will play the young version of the title character, Maleficent, based on the Sleeping Beauty fairytale.

1. 
   ​
   READY, AND ACTION: Isobelle Molloy pictured in front of a theatre poster of her as Matilda, during her stint in the West End

The actress will fly to Los Angeles on November 14 to screen the special effects for the film, which Walt Disney Pictures plans to release in 2014.
Isobelle, who trains at Tomorrow's Talent in Little Waltham, has already filmed her scenes for the film at Pinewood Studios.
"I am really happy with how it all went," she said.
"I met Angelina. She's really nice. We were talking about her contact lenses because we both wear them.
"She showed me hers and then she said 'if you need any help just ask me'.
"It is funny because my mum was saying that I look like Angelina before I even knew about the film.
"It is a big compliment to be picked because that means I must really look like her."
Isobelle was filming on and off for three weeks in October.
Because she was missing out on school a tutor was hired for her.
She said: "Filming was amazing, I was a fairy so I had to have harnesses put on me and fly.
"I even had my own trailer and it said 'young Maleficent' on the door.
"My character could be seen in two different ways. She's not evil but not happy, but that's all I can say, I'm not allowed to give too much away. I know I have to wait a long time to see myself on the big screen, which is a shame, but I cannot wait."
Isobelle only recently finished a stint in the hit West End musical Matilda for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
She won a full scholarship to the famous Redroofs Theatre School, in Maidenhead, Berkshire, after the director saw her play the lead in Matilda.
She now spends four days a week at the school and lives in a hotel with some of her classmates.
"Film is very different from the stage, where if you do something wrong you have to carry on, but with film they shout 'cut, let's do that again'.
"Both are amazing in different ways and I love both of them."
Maleficent is directed by Academy Award winner Robert Stromberg, who was production designer for Avatar and Alice in Wonderland.
"The first two auditions they gave me a completely different script because they did not want anyone finding out about the film," she said.
"I did not have a clue what I was auditioning for.
"I am always busy, lots of auditions for big things and small things, I am never left twiddling my thumbs.
"But my family are the ones who keep me grounded, I am definitely not a prima donna."
Mum Leanne Cornwell, 38, is very proud of how professionally Isobelle has taken to the working world.
She said: "It is really exciting stuff; she's been a busy girl.
"I do not think she realises the enormity of it all. She just takes it in her stride.
"I cannot wait to see Isobelle on the big screen. It is a dream role, it really is.
"I think she got her Angelina Jolie looks from me!"

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to hit town for 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea remake

• The Daily Telegraph
• November 09, 2012 12:00AM

JUST as Sydneysiders recover from the surplus of celebrity spottings throughout the filming of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, a new set of A-listers is rumoured to be headed to town. 

Film industry sources say Brad Pitt is in serious negotiations to head to the Harbour City with talk that the anticipated remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea will be filmed next year at Fox Studios.

Titled 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Captain Nemo and helmed by Oscar-nominated director David Fincher (The Social Network), the film has been in development at Disney for some time and it's understood production may finally get a green-light in early 2013.

While Pitt is yet to sign for the role, the Fight Club star is reportedly close to a deal and it's rumoured he may spend several months in Sydney - most likely with partner Angelina Jolie and their six children.

Pitt is slated for the role of Ned Land in the flick - the role played by Kirk Douglas in the 1954 version of the movie based on Jules Verne's book.

Land is described as "a sailor and talented hand at the harpoon" and is expected to form a key part of the new movie, alongside whoever agrees to star as Captain Nemo.

Contacted this week, Pitt's US reps didn't get back to us on the actor's plans to head Down Under. But a local film source said the news was the talk of Sydney's movie industry.

"Having Brad in town will be huge, as will having Fincher here shooting such an epic remake," a well-placed film spy said.

Those linked to the Nemo role include Will Smith and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Film bits

While I enjoyed reading Jules Verne's novels when I was younger and I would like to see Brad and Fincher collaborate again, a CGI-heavy PG-13 Disney adaptation seems to be way outside Fincher's wheelhouse.  Most of his films have been R-rated and none have been CGI-heavy or involved fantastical creatures.

Darren Aronofsky is attempting his first big-budget epic in Noah but the tone of the film, which will reportedly show the dark, heavy-drinking side of the biblical character, is still in the same vein as  Aronofsky's past character studies.  Christopher Nolan had never done a big-budget adventure before he tackled Batman Begins but a wounded and flawed lead has been a familiar theme of his films.  In contrast, Capt. Nemo is unlike anything Fincher has done before in tone, style and substance.  Fincher is immensely talented and he could certainly pull it off but it's not obviously tapping into his strengths. 

As for Brad, other than the chance to work with Fincher again I don't see the attraction of the Disney film since he's just coming off World War Z which is targeting a similar demo.

David Fincher Wants Brad Pitt To Star In '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea'

by Kevin Jagernauth
October 18, 2012 7:30 PM

We're almost a full year from when "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" hit theaters, and we're still no closer to figuring out what David Fincher's next feature film will be. Of course, not that he's been sitting around idle -- he has spent the bulk of 2012 producing and directing "House Of Cards," the Netflix and Media Rights Capital series that will hit the streaming service next year. And while "The Girl Who Played With Fire" won't be coming anytime before 2014, with Fincher saying in August he's "trying to figure [it] out," a past collaborator could kickstart a project that's been brewing for a while. Variety reports that Disney has placed Fincher on a three month hold as they decide the fate of his long-developing "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea." The project is certainly ambitious, with Fincher previously teasing that it would be in 3D, be 70% CG and feature motion-capture work, and the last word we heard on it was that he'd hired his "Se7en" scribe Andrew Kevin Walker last fall to write the script. Essentially, the short version of this is that it's an expensive movie and Disney, still bruising from "John Carter," and having watched "The Lone Ranger" go over budget as well, will likely be checking every angle before saying yes or no. But could a major star change their mind?
Fincher is said to be courting his "Se7en," "Fight Club" and "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" star Brad Pitt for the lead role of Ned Land, with an older A-list type being sought for Captain Nemo. Of course, reps for Pitt stress that he's not committed to anything right now, and like other A-list actors of his caliber, Pitt generally has many options to choose from. The only movie he's firmly attached to is James Gray's "The Gray Man," which the filmmaker told us this spring might be his next effort.
All this to say, nothing is certain just yet. But Fincher is trying to find a way to work with Pitt again, and if he's intrigued and signs on, we'll bet that Disney has no problem giving this the thumbs up.

 L.A. Times Movies Now

Daniel Craig will try to persuade Fincher to make 'Girl Who Played With Fire'

By Steven Zeitchik

October 18, 2012, 3:46 p.m.

 

Hopes for “The Girl Who Played With Fire,” a potential follow-up to David Fincher’s English-language “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” slowed considerably after the first movie performed only decently at the box office.
But star Daniel Craig says he hasn’t given up on the possibility of a new installment —and in fact hopes to persuade the director to return.
“Of course I’ll embrace [the movie], especially if Fincher does it,” Craig told The Times, adding, “I’m definitely going to work on him.”
Fincher, who has a range of projects in development, has been publicly noncommittal about returning to the franchise, which follows a Swedish-language art-house hit. The director has never made a sequel in his long career.
Though well-received by critics and fans, "Dragon Tattoo," Sony-MGM's 2011 adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestseller, grossed $233 million worldwide. That’s a respectable but hardly blockbuster result for the R-rated film -- and prompted an MGM executive to say earlier this year that the company had lost a small amount of money on the film and would likely participate in a new movie only if it was made at a lower budget.
Sony has been waiting on a new "Fire" script from writer Steven Zallian; there has been no recent development movement.
Larsson's book on which the film would be based, the second in the so-called Millennium Trilogy, centers on Craig's Mikael Blomqvist and Rooney Mara's Lisbeth Salander investigating a sex-trafficking ring.
Meanwhile, Craig’s latest James Bond movie, “Skyfall,” opens in three weeks. And while the actor — who after three tent-pole-sized movies in the last 16 months has no new film that has been greenlighted -- says he finds the idea of doing some independent work appealing, he’s not actively seeking it out.
 “Sometimes shooting on a smaller scale, as long as things don’t blow out of proportion, is very liberating,” said the actor, who made a foray into indie drama with the Holocaust resistance film “Defiance” in 2008. “But I wouldn’t like to self-consciously  go out and look for some nice small project just to get a chance to prove my acting chops. It’s like, I think I’ve … done enough of that.”
