Christopher Nolan Thinks So - Michael Bay Sets ‘6 Underground’ and ‘Robopocalypse’ as His Next Two Projects - New ‘The Grinch’ Poster Reveals Loyal Companion Max; Scott Mosier Is Co-Directing - ‘Ready Player One’ Character Posters Reveal the Avatars - ‘Slither’ Alumni Elizabeth Banks and James Gunn Reunite for Untitled Horror Pic - Live Twitter Questions In a Deadline interview with Christopher Nolan, the trade asked what movie he thought would be a sure bet for a Best Picture nomination at next year’s Oscar ceremony. Starting the hype early now, Nolan predicted that it would be Black Panther that would be nominated for best picture, which would finally be the first Superhero 'Best Picture' movie to be considered. In a report from Variety, it looks like Michael Bay will not be dipping his toes in the waters of DC anytime soon. The trade reports that the director has solidified his next two projects – the first being the action movie called 6 Underground, which is based on a screenplay by Zombieland and Deadpool screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. After that, Bay is back to killer robots, with the director eyeing Robopocalypse, which is based on the book by Daniel Wilson. Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have unveiled a new The Grinch movie poster and first trailer for the upcoming animated film. The new adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic comes from the studio that brought us Despicable Me and The Lorax, with The Secret Life of Pets co-director Yarrow Cheney and Clerks and Chasing Amy producer Scott Mosier at the helm. The Ready Player One movie’s marketing campaign has hit the “character posters” stage and released a set of new posters featuring the main characters as their avatars in the movie. Ready Player One follows Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), an unlikely hero in the virtual world of the OASIS where he and anyone else can be whomever they want. It was announced yesterday that Elizabeth Banks has signed on as the lead in an Untitled Horror Project produced by James Gunn and The H Collective; with The Hive director David Yarovesky behind the camera.
