Prometheus Sequel and Jersey Boys Confirmed

After grossing north of $300 million worldwide, 20th Century Fox has granted the wish of Ridley Scott and Alien franchise lovers all across the globe by green lighting a sequel to Prometheus. With Scott tied up to direct The Counsellor, Prometheus will have to linger on in the background for the foreseeable future. 20th Century Fox has announced that they expect the sequel to hit theatres sometime in 2014 or 2015. I guess patience is a virtue.

Rumors had been swirling about Jon Favreau taking the reins of a Jersey Boys movie, and now they've been confirmed. The film, which is based off an award winning Broadway musical, chronicles the rise and fall of the Four Seasons. Having seen the musical, I can honestly say that it's an absolute crowd-pleaser and I hope that Favreau can translate the same feeling to the big screen. Favreau, who's also very busy in the near future, plans to start filming in early 2013 in New York and northern New Jersey. No rough estimate for a release date has been announced.
