Movie Production Status Report for July 2013 (Mad Max, Godzilla, and more)

If you're wondering what the state of production for different movies are, I thought I'd toss out a few genre movies we here at Movie Static are waiting to see how they perform at the box office.

(Release dates) and other details included, where applicable and what not.

-

In Development

These are movies that are being pitched, in the "idea" or hopes stage, etc., etc..

  • Justice League (6/15 ?) I keep seeing this date changing...
  • Deadpool (Seriously?  We'll know it when we see the real news.  Not actor reports of things they want to see happen or what not.)
  • Avatar 2 (???)
  • Jurassic Park IV (2015)  If they quit changing their minds about this, now, reboot of the franchise.
  • Man of Steel 2 (?)  No date, but they made enough money and need this to keep the JLA dream alive.
  • Prometheus 2 - Script stage.
  • Jeepers Creepers III (They claim 2013...)
  • ID Forever Part I - From Roland Emmerich.
  • The Flash - In script/pipe-dream stage.  Again, JLA hopes.
  • Wonder Woman - DC hired a script writer.  (Too bad they never took up Joss Whedon on his spec script some years back!)
  • Bad Boys 3 - Script stage.
  • National Treasure 3 - A Jerry Bruckheimer Film.
  • Assassin's Creed - Screenplay being adapted.
