Lin-Manuel Miranda Tackling Epic Fantasy 'Kingkiller Chronicles'

Lin-Manuel Miranda has set his next project with Lionsgate's The Kingkiller Chronicle

The Hamilton creator is partnering author Pat Rothfuss to serve as the creative producer on the adaptations of the best-selling book trilogy.

Miranda, who did original music for Disney's latest animated feature, Moana, will also lead musical development on the project.

Lionsgate has a multipronged plan on adapting the epic fantasy book and simultaneously developing movies, television series and video games.
Lindsey Beer, one of the writers working on Transformers 5, has been tapped to adapt the fantasy epic for the big screen.

Kingkiller chronicles the life and times of Kvothe, a magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.

The first book in the series, The Name of the Wind, was published in 2007 and since then, a second novel as well as three novellas have sold more than 10 million copies.

Maybe the last book will come out eventually?!

Mall of America (international tourist trap in MN) is shutting down it's theater at the end of the year opting instead to turn it into a giant playground. Smaaash has just opened offering a go-kart race track and VR games. Further plans haven't been announced, but the rest of the space will be open by late-2017.

The theater had been one of the better in the state until the ICON theaters came to down and they never updated their space. Another end of a local theater era.

After Porn Ends 2 picks up where it’s predecessor left off and not only turns back the clock to meet the oldest living stars in adult film’s history, but goes in depth with some of Its most current retirees and juxtaposes their experiences in a life after porn. Delving deeper into society’s ongoing stigmas of race, misogyny, and the reality of decreasing opportunities for these former VHS box cover stars. For some, their careers in adult entertainment is accepted proudly and without regret. In fact, it seems to have proven to be the pathway to their current happiness and inner peace. For others, however, a career in porn has proven to be a conduit to certain despair as they struggle to find a way to bury their past and emerge with a new career or calling.

First film is on Netflix and is pretty good.

After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything...and everyone along with it.

Dean Devlin (writer/producer, “Independence Day”) makes his feature film directorial debut with suspense thriller “Geostorm,” starring Gerard Butler (“Olympus Has Fallen,” “300”), Jim Sturgess (“Cloud Atlas”), Abbie Cornish (“Limitless”), Alexandra Maria Lara (“Rush”), Daniel Wu (“The Man with the Iron Fists,” “Warcraft: The Beginning”), with Oscar nominees Ed Harris (“The Hours,” “Apollo 13”) and Andy Garcia (“The Godfather: Part III”).

Butler stars as Jake, a scientist who, along with his brother, Max, played by Sturgess, is tasked with solving the satellite program’s malfunction. Cornish stars as Secret Service agent Sarah Wilson; Lara as Ute Fassbinder, the ISS astronaut who runs the space station; Wu as Cheng, the Hong Kong-based supervisor for the Dutch Boy Program; with Garcia as U.S. President Andrew Palma; and Harris as Secretary of State Leonard Dekkom. The film also stars Adepero Oduye (“The Big Short,” “12 Years a Slave”), Amr Waked (“Lucy,” “Syriana”), Robert Sheehan (“The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” “Season of the Witch”) and Eugenio Derbez (“Instructions Not Included”).

The film, written by Dean Devlin & Paul Guyot, is being produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Devlin, and Skydance’s Dana Goldberg. Herbert W. Gains and Electric Entertainment’s Marc Roskin are the executive producers. Rachel Olschan of Electric Entertainment and Cliff Lanning co-produce.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Roberto Schaefer (“Finding Neverland,” “Quantum of Solace”), production designer Kirk M. Petruccelli (“White House Down”), costume designer Susan Matheson (“The Big Short,” “Safehouse”) and VFX supervisor Jeffrey A. Okun (“Clash of the Titans,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still”).

A Warner Bros. Pictures and Skydance presentation, “Geostorm” is a joint venture between Skydance and Electric Entertainment, Inc. Set to hit theaters October 20, 2017, it will be distributed in 3D and 2D in select theaters and IMAX, by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

That looks terrible.

[6souls]

It's 2012 rebooted with weather satellites and computer viruses.

[Zetanio]

Seriously. It looks terrible. Deep Impact / 2012 / Day after Tomorrow. I can't believe they got Ed Harris and Gerard Butler for this.
