Snyder's wife, Deborah Snyder, who is a producer on Justice League, is also taking a break to focus on their family. In Snyder’s place comes Joss Whedon, who will help finish the movie through post production while also shooting some additional scenes that he wrote. With Whedon's help, the movie is still on track for its November 17th release date. Universal announced yesterday that their shared universe of monster movies will officially go under the new heading Dark Universe. Led by the core, creative team of Mummy director Alex Kurtzman, Fast & Furious screenwriter Chris Morgan, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie, and Bride of Frankenstein writer David Koepp, the announcement also confirmed that Beauty and the Beast helmer Bill Condon is set to direct Bride of Frankenstein, which will be released on February 14, 2019. Universal also confirmed that Johnny Depp is on board to play The Invisible Man and Javier Bardem is set to play Frankenstein’s monster. OPENING THIS WEEK BUY OR SELL According to Variety, Martin Moszkowicz, chairman of the board at Constantin Films - who produced all of the Resident Evil movies - confirmed at Cannes that a reboot is currently being planned for the franchise that will then lead to six movies. A day after the news broke, Deadline then reported that Conjuring and Aquaman director James Wan has come on board to produce the first of the reboots from a script by Greg Russo. A new trailer has been released for Wish Upon, the new horror movie from Annabelle director John Leonetti. The movie stars The Conjuring’s Joey King as Clare, a teenage girl barely surviving the hell that is high school. When her dad played by Ryan Phillippe gifts her an old music box that grants the owner's wishes, the people closest to her begin dying in gruesome and twisted ways. According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o are set to star in a new movie for director Ava DuVernay after a tweet featuring the two went viral. This all happened after Rihanna and Nyong’o were pictured together at the Miu Miu fashion show back in 2014, which then turned into a twitter sensation when people started joking that a movie should be made of the two. EW says that the internet-created project was pitched to studios at this year’s Cannes film festival, with Netflix coming out on top after a very aggressive bid.
