It’s just part of Hollywood, the project will be announced with great fanfare and then gradually disappear, and the suspects should be blamed for the usual (arrangement conflicts, creative differences, budget issues) and unusual (global pandemics, industry-wide, industry-wide) of the world. But some creators seem to attach their names to movies or TV shows that have never been implemented with greater frequency, including Taika Waititi.
His diverse careers include writing, directing, production and acting (Our flag means death Forever), he already has an Oscar on his shelf. So, it’s no surprise that he seems to be pulled in a lot of different directions and turns to new efforts faster than most. But since his TBD list is full of things we actually want to see, this is a reminder of the best sci-fi and fantasy stuff among them.
Judge Dredd
This week it was reported that Waititi was attached to a new live-action admission for violent comic characters, previously seen in the 1995 films made (with Sylvester Stallone) and 2012 (with Karl Urban). Hollywood Reporter also pointed out that there is also Drew Pearce’s script (Fall guy; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Country) But there is no studio yet. According to the industry, “Source and Vititi both grew up from books and were friends trying to find a project they worked with for years.”
THR further noted: “It is said that drawing inspiration from comics, leaning towards world-building and dark humor in comparison to previous screen iterations, sounds great, although this detail doesn’t: “The wish is to see the movie launch a Dredd Universe that can be explored through movies and performances on a variety of platforms. ”Why why?
We are wolf
Given this werewolf-centric sequel, it might be just a short dream What we do in the shadows (Movie) is talking about it before What we do in the shadows (TV program) is here. But the show ended late last year after a six-win season and many fans still hope to continue. possible We are wolf After all, emerges from the darkness?
akira
Just a few weeks ago, we learned about Warner Bros. Long-term theft akira The movie was taken off. Waititi’s name is one of many to be directed when it’s still working, and he’s certainly enthusiastic – though in 2019, he explained that he had to take a step back due to his Marvel commitment. But just because Warner Bros. won’t solve it akira It doesn’t mean that comic adaptations will never happen; another studio will likely have new rights. Maybe when and if this happens to Waititi?
Flash Gordon
Picture: Summer 2021. We’ve received interesting updates from the animation Flash Gordon The movie Waititi made fun of it for the first time in 2019. The game has changed, now this will be a real person Flash Gordon Movie! Even a few years later, it remains an ideal channel for Waititi’s unaweful style and superhero action over the exaggerated approach, but so far there is no new power for that drive.
incal
In the second half of 2021, Whitety laughed at another fascinating project: Adaptation incalAlejandro Jodorowsky and Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) science fiction masterpieces. “Alejandro Jodorowsky’s films and graphic novels have influenced me and many others for so long,” Waititi told the Hollywood Reporter at the time. “Give me the chance to bring his iconic character to life.” We are not angry except for the fact that hasn’t happened yet.
Netflix Roald Dahl Series
In 2020, IO9 has reason to run the post on the title “Oompa-loompa Doom-pa-da-dee-tee” to pump water in Taika Waititi’s Roald Dahl,” Waititi announced two planned Netflix series that airs around the world. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Include everything about Oompa-loompas! As we all know, Netflix downplayed a lot of dough a few years ago to get Dahl’s story classification, but the IP hasn’t done much since. Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet starred Wonka The concept of the movie was pre-empted by Netflix, sort of taking over the cultural conversation about the magic chocolate factory. Still, the streamers stick with Dahl, so maybe Waititi will eventually return to this.
Star Wars
It’s an entire galaxy, not a waititi, because since the end of the sequel trilogy, fixing Lucasfilm’s future big screen plan hasn’t been an easy task. But in the sure thingMandalorian and GroguRyan Gosling Starfighter) and projects that seem to be still in normal condition (such as James Mangold’s Dawn of Jedi film) Star Wars Movie, will be reunited Mandalorian Season 1 with the franchise is never excluded. Still, we don’t know if it will happen.
What penetration taika Waititi projects do you hope to be truly implemented? Do you want to? Judge Dredd Will you move forward or will you join other titles of Waititi Limbo? He will do his Star Wars Movie?
