Movie News: A Billion for "The Last Jedi", a solo album about Gan Solo and the Agatha Christie Film Universe
A billion for the Last Jedi
As they say, who would doubt it... In less than three weeks, the eighth episode of the Star Wars space saga has managed to raise more than a billion dollars. For comparison, the new numbered section collected in 18 days as much as last year's spin-off "Rogue One" for all 140 days of rental.
Thus, the picture, written and shot by Ryan Johnson, achieved great success in several senses at once. First of all, this is the third result of 2017 after another Disney heavyweight, Beauty and the Beast, as well as Universal's Fast and Furious 8. Namely, at the box office in the United States, "The Last Jedi" has already taken the first place at the end of the year and at the same time the seventh place in the entire history of home rental. If we talk about the global distribution, then the new part of the popular fantasy epic is still in 22nd place, but it will not stay there for very long.
In addition, the success of The Last Jedi marked a great achievement for Star Wars as a whole. After all, taking into account "The Hidden Menace", "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One", this is now the second company after the Marvel movie universe, with four films that have conquered a billion. And the first one, in which three films in a row exceeded this solid mark, and they did it three years in a row.
Solo album about Ghana Solo
Will it be so brilliant to rent the next picture about a galaxy far, far away? We'll find out very soon, because the solo film about Gan Solo will be released in just five months. And although the studio has not officially launched an advertising campaign yet, the first news of the upcoming blockbuster has already appeared online. On it, we can see the actual titular character, the image of which is embodied here by Alden Shrike, Lando Calrissian, played by Donald Glover, the Mother of Dragons... that is, Emilia Clarke, as well as Chewbacca as Chewbacca.
After the dismissal of directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the solo album was partially completed and partially reshot by Ron Howard, director of such films as "Mind Games", "The Da Vinci Code", "In the Heart of the Sea" and many others. Rumor has it that the additional filming was much more extensive (and expensive) than previously stated. And according to rumors, the difficulties of the development process have greatly alarmed Disney. As well as dissatisfaction with the work of the performer of the main role, the aforementioned Yerenrike, for whom the studio even had to hire an acting tutor.
In addition, there is an assumption that the Solo box office will be affected by some negative background around the eighth episode. Despite the success of The Last Jedi, not everyone accepted it. If you look at the Rotten Tomatoes resource, only 50% of viewers rated the eighth episode positively. The film really divided the audience, and theoretically this could have an impact on the subsequent "Star Wars". Just like the other actor in the role, it is inseparable from Harrison Ford.
But we will find out how it will actually be in the near future. In the meantime, let's add that John Williams himself joined the team of creators of the tape. The iconic composer will make another contribution to the franchise. He will write the main theme of the film. And the soundtrack as a whole will be prepared by John Powell, the composer of "Panda Kung Fu" and "How to Train your Dragon".
Let's remind that the premiere of "Solo" will take place on May 25.
The Agatha Christie Film Universe
Do you know which movie universe is lacking in modern cinema? The Agatha Christie movie universe ! At least that's what Kenneth Branagh is sure of. The director and performer of the main role of "Murder on the Orient Express" stated that he sees great potential in the film adaptations of numerous books by the outstanding writer of the detective genre and experiences the whole world combining these works.
And you know what? There is a high probability that this idea can come true. "Murder on the Orient Express," which cost 55 million, grossed an astounding $300 million at the box office. This is an unequivocal success. And it is not surprising that a sequel has already been announced, which will be an adaptation of another novel about Hercule Poirot - "Death on the Nile". Branagh is expected to return both as a director and as an actor. And there is no reason to doubt that the "new" story of the investigation will definitely find its audience. The point here is that Branagh is now supposed to make a fantasy film adaptation of Artemis Fowl. But then... The limitless expanses of Agatha Christie's creative legacy are open for presentation on the big screen!
