While discussing his film "Rebecca", they asked Ben Wheatley about "Tomb Raider 2" and said this:
Next, Wheatley is set to direct "Tomb Raider 2" with Alicia Vikander returning as Lara Croft. The sequel was set to start filming earlier in 2020 for a March 2021 release, but the pandemic halted all production and Wheatley said that everything is "up in the air at the moment."
"I mean Christ the whole country is about to go into full lockdown as far as I can see," he said. "Since March everything is day-to-day with planning. It's hard to think about stuff months ahead I just want to get to the end of 2020, to be honest."

'Rebecca' director Ben Wheatley says it's 'irrelevant' what critics think of his movie

Some critics panned the film for striking the wrong tone and failing to match up to Du Maurier's novel or Alfred Hitchcock's beloved 1940s adaptation.

Netflix Buys New John David Washington/Alicia Vikander Movie, Born To Be Murdered

Netflix has acquired a new movie starring Tenet's John David Washington and Oscar-winning Lara Croft actress Alicia Vikander. The streaming network has purchased the movie Born to be Murdered, which follows a couple--played by Washington and Vikander--who go on a lovely vacation in Greece only to get swept into a "violent conspiracy with tragic consequences," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie was filmed on location in Greece in 2019, but it only just sold to Netflix, according to the report.
In addition to Washington and Vikander, Born to be Murdered will feature Boyd Holbrook (Logan, Narcos) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread). The film is produced by Luca Guadagnino, who directed the Oscar-winning 2017 drama Call Me By Your Name, and it's expected to debut in 2021.

Born to be Murdered was directed by Ferdinando Cito Filomarino, who makes his English-language directorial debut with the project. Filomarino was a second unit director on Call Me By Your Name.

Focus Features has set a June 25, 2021 theatrical release for Justin Chon’s drama Blue Bayou which the label picked up global rights to last spring during the Cannes virtual market.

The pic, which also stars Chon, tells the timely story of a uniquely American family fighting for their future. Antonio LeBlanc (Chon), a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou, is married to the love of his life Kathy (Alicia Vikander) and step-dad to their beloved daughter Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.

Chon also wrote the feature and the movie stars Mark O’Brien (Arrival), Linh Dan Pham, and Emory Cohen (Brooklyn). Producers are Chon, Charles D. King, Kim Poth, and Poppy Hanks.

Today, Focus Features is opening the Amblin horror feature Come Play which grossed $150K in previews last night and looks to lead the weekend box office with $2M-$4M. The pic written and directed by Jacob Chase stars Gillians Jacobs and John Gallagher Jr. and centers around a monster named Larry who manifests itself through smart phones and mobile devices. The pic is based on a 2017 short film by Chase.

‘Dial M For Murder’ Limited Series With Alicia Vikander Producing & Possibly Starring In Works At MGM/UA TV

MGM/UA Television is developing limited series Dial M For Murder, based on the 1952 play of the same name by Frederick Knott, which was adapted into the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Oscar winner Alicia Vikander is executive producing through her Vikarious Film banner with an eye to potentially star in the series, which reimagines the classic suspense thriller story from the female perspective. In Hitchcock’s film, the role was played by Grace Kelly.

Michael Mitnick (The Giver) is creating and writing the series with Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter overseeing. Mitnick is a playwright-screenwriter whose sole previous TV series writing credit was on HBO’s Vinyl, co-created and executive produced by Winter.

Winter executive produces alongside Vikander and Charles Collier via Vikarious Film. Andrew Mittman of 1.21, who has a deal at MGM/UA TV, and Lloyd Braun will also serve as executive producers.

Dial M For Murder is being developed as an anthology series with potential follow-up installments in the suspense thriller genre from a similarly female point of view.
The original Dial M For Murder centers on a retired tennis champion (played in the movie by Ray Milland, who discovers that his wife (Kelly) has had an affair and hires an acquaintance to murder her. When the plan backfires and the wife kills her assassin, her husband frames her for the man’s murder, with his elaborate plot only uncovered with the help of his wife’s lover hours before she was to be executed after being sentenced to death.

Like Kelly, Vikander is an Oscar winner; she landed the award for The Danish Girl. Additionally, Vikander has earned two Golden Globe nominations to date, for Danish Girl and Ex Machina. She also is known for playing Lara Croft in the recent Tomb Raider reboot.

Alicia Vikander to Star in HBO's 'Irma Vep' Limited Series From Olivier Assayas

Alicia Vikander is set to star in an "Irma Vep" limited series at HBO from filmmaker Olivier Assayas.

Loosely based on Assayas' 1996 cult classic of the same name, the show will revolve around Mira (Vikander), "an American movie star disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup, who comes to France to star as Irma Vep in a remake of the French silent film classic 'Les Vampires,'" per HBO. Set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, Mira struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and merge. "Irma Vep" reveals to us the uncertain ground that lies at the border of fiction and reality, artifice and authenticity, art and life.

Assayas will write and direct the A24-produced show, which will premiere on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max. Executive producers include Assayas, Vikander, Sylvie Barthet, Sam Levinson, Ashley Levinson, Kevin Turen through Little Lamb and Stuart Manashil.

"When the opportunity arose to partner with Alicia and Olivier, we jumped at the chance," Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO programming, said. "Olivier is a master at weaving unique narratives imbued with levity and drama and Alicia is one of the most versatile, celebrated actors of our time. They have an undeniable, distinct vision for the reimagining of Olivier's cult classic film, and we can't wait to tell it with them."

"I have been a long-time admirer of Olivier and his work," Vikander added. "I am very excited for us to work together, and to be a part of the expanded universe of his superb cult classic, 'Irma Vep.' There are a lot of brilliant people coming together and I am delighted to be partnering with HBO and A24 on this special project."

"I am immensely grateful to Alicia, A24 and HBO for giving me the incredible opportunity to explore and expand 'Irma Vep' in a series format," said Assayas. "This is a comedy that will try and catch the zeitgeist the same way the original 'Irma Vep' did, in a very different world, a very different era, that right now feels lightyears away.

I like that she's finally getting into TV/Mini-series and I'm looking forward (especially this one) to seeing both.
