Spielberg/Abrams Collaboration ‘Super 8’ Finally Lands a Cast!
I was worried we wouldn’t hear a single thing about Super 8, the Steven Spielberg/J.J. Abrams collaboration that Abrams plans to direct, before its summer 2011 release. Thanks to Vulture the first two cast members have leaked, one of which is actually kinda funny. Kyle Chandler (King Kong, The Day the Earth Stood Still ), who stars as Coach Taylor on NBC’s football drama “Friday Night Lights”, has landed a role in the film, alongside 12-year-old Elle Fanning (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). Elle is the sister of Dakota, who was once a Spielberg-groomed star. Now her sister gets the “Grade A” treatment as one of three siblings who discover footage of an alien in some Super 8 footage they shot. When announced, it was revealed that the collaboration would carry the feel of the early Amblin films that made Spielberg so famous.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
