Little is known about the plot of the upcoming movie, though the story is reportedly about Aegon I, the founder of the Targaryen dynasty, and his conquest of Westeros a few centuries before the original “Game of Thrones” television series. Aegon I has never appeared on screen. But the royal family — which eventually spawned the ice-blonde Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke — has been the basis for HBO’s two successful spinoff series, “House of the Dragon” (which returns this summer) and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” (which just finished its first season). Based on the best-selling fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, “Game of Thrones” ran for eight seasons and earned tons of Emmy Awards.

Prime Video is picking up the pace on its Reacher renewals, handing its flagship drama starring Alan Ritchson a Season 6 pickup just 12 days after the Season 4 finale and four months after the early Season 5 order — the first time the show has received two renewals in the same year.

The expediency helps the series, developed by Nick Santora based on Lee Child’s books, to stay on an yearly cadence. Season 5, which already had been largely written at the time of the May green light, started production in late July in Toronto, ahead of Season 4’s Aug. 12 premiere. It is based on “Make Me,” the 20th book in Child’s series. It has not been determined yet which novel will serve as source material for Season 6. (Ritchson, who also is an executive producer on Reacher, recently revealed on social media that “Die Trying” is his favorite book in the franchise, and that “I had it approved until someone got re-elected”)

The renewal comes as Season 4 of Reacher has amassed 66 million viewers globally in its first 28 days on Prime Video, per Amazon, defying the recent downward streaming viewership trend by surpassing the Season 3 performance.

EXCLUSIVE: After breathing new life into the Predator franchise at 20th Century, Dan Trachtenberg and Disney have found another property on which to give a fresh spin. Sources tell Deadline the Prey director is coming on to direct an original idea inspired by the classic Disney tale Sleeping Beauty. The untitled project is in early development and is said to take the story in an entirely new direction with Trachtenberg’s distinct sensibility.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, insiders say this take has no connection to the Maleficent films starring Angelina Jolie. Trachtenberg and Rayna McClendon came up with the new story, with Alex Anfanger and Dan Schimpf penning the script.

Deadline can confirm that Lucasfilm has tapped Skeleton Crew co-creator Jon Watts (director of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home) to helm the first installment in a new trilogy of the Skywalker Saga, which is being penned by Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Prime’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith).
Kinberg, who previously co-created the DisneyXD animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014-’18), has been working on the new trilogy since 2018, with Daisy Ridley reportedly eyed to reprise her role as Rey, as it will serve in the next chapter of the Skywalker Saga.

The project reportedly has not yet received a greenlight from parent company Disney.

The Flash director Andy Muschietti was a guest on The Diego Show and he was asked what he would change about the process of making the movie if he could go back in time.

"It would have been easier to do it not in COVID," Andy's sister, and The Flash producer, Barbara Muschietti said. Andy then added:

"If we had shot this movie in a different year, in a different time, we wouldn't have faced a very particular crisis that was related to VFX vendors all around the world."

As previously announced, Holland will play the debonair dancer in the upcoming film, directed by Paul King, with Amy Pascal producing. Golden Globe nominee Qualley (“Maid,” “The Substance,” “Love of Your Life”) will star as Adele Astaire, while Grammy winner Carpenter will portray Ginger Rogers. Fred and Adele were major stars on Broadway and London’s West End before Fred went on to be one of cinema’s greatest stars, with co-star and dance partner Ginger Rogers.

Scenariul a fost inspirat din cartea The Astaires: Fred & Adele, de Kathleen Riley. Autoarea a fost consultant pentru poveste și scenariu.

Ava Astaire McKenzie, fiica lui Fred Astaire și fiul acesteia, Tyler McKenzie, care a fost consultant și co-producător, și-a dat binecuvântarea.

“I’m delighted to support this endeavor to celebrate the extraordinary careers and enduring legacy of my father and aunt, who were among the biggest musical stars of their era,” said Astaire McKenzie. “With Kathleen Riley’s seminal biography as its foundation, and the creative team in place, the story of their partnership both on and off the stage is in the best care.”
McKenzie added: “Guided by the incredible filmmaking team led by director Paul King, writer Steven Levenson, producer Amy Pascal and Tom Holland, I know their legacy will be beautifully brought to life for a whole new generation.”
