The ‘Flatliners’ Remake Just Got Very Real
After announcing the addition of Ellen Page back in October, TheWrap reports that casting is fully underway on Flatliners, Sony’s re-imagining of the insanely underrated 1990 sci-fi thriller.
The next big casting news is that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘s Diego Luna, pictured below in Elysium, is in negotiations to star opposite Page in Flatliners.
Niels Arden Oplev (“Mr. Robot,” The Girl With the Dragon TattooM) will direct from a script by Ben Ripley (Source Code).
“Flatliners follows a group of medical students who experiment with “near death” experiences that involve past tragedies until the dark consequences begin to jeopardize their own lives.”
The cast of the new Flatliners movie is expected be more inclusive and international than the Joel Schumacher‘s original film, which starred Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt. This time around, explains the site, the core cast will feature three women and two men.
Laurence Mark (I, Robot) will produce with Michael Douglas.
Production is now slated to start in early July.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
