A 37-year-old cult classic, this sci-fi saga is being reborn with not one, but 2 films in 2025!

Will we see Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock back at full speed soon? Will a new Master & Commander movie ever see the light of day?

during a long interview The Hollywood ReporterSteve Asbell, head of 20th Century Fox Studios, was asked about the studio’s plans.

Sequel to Master & Commander?

The latter mentioned plans for sequels or remakes of cult films, including Peter Weir’s adventure film, master and commander With Russell Crowe. After its theatrical release, the feature film finally managed to establish itself in the hearts of audiences when it was released on DVD.

The director explains that he is diligently working on the new film Master & Commander: “I’m really trying hard to move this project forward. This is the first movie I worked on at Fox twenty years ago. We have a great script. We just need the right director.” We still don’t know anything about the story or casting, as it’s supposed to be a prequel.

Speed ​​3?

Then Steve Asbell returned to the meeting, 30 years after Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock’s speed speech. For reference, during the event, the actor, when asked about a possible sequel, said that perhaps Hollywood would not dare for Speed ​​​​3.

Hollywood is pretty bold

Asbell’s answer is clear: “Hollywood is pretty bold. We’re pretty bold. We’re waiting for the call. It’s one of the last movies we haven’t remade. And to really have a reason to come back, it has to be a big idea. , an idea that interests Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, because This will be a very important title for us, but we are not trying to convince them that they should be part of the development of this idea.

That’s why a Speed ​​follow-up isn’t in the works, but the studio isn’t closed to the idea, as Fox’s chief clarified.

The latter also mentioned several new upcoming adaptations of Agatha Christie novels. After the series of Hercule Poirot brought to the screen by Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and Mystery in Venice), the studio will continue on this path and emphasize the cult of another detective of the British writer, Miss Marple. .

Secret Predator movie

Finally, Steve Asbell also announced a new film in the Planet of the Apes saga and a secret opus on the Predator saga, which will be relaunched in 2022 by Dan Trachtenberg. We already knew that the latter was going to direct Predator: Badlands with Elle Fanning, whose story takes place in a more futuristic setting, but today we discovered the existence of a secret Predator movie.

“After success PredatorDan said he didn’t want to direct Prey 2. We asked him what he wanted to do. And he came up with a bunch of ideas that were really crazy but really interesting. And we have already done two of them. They will be released next year. One I can’t talk about yet, and the other is a live-action Predator movie with Elle Fanning that just finished shooting in New Zealand.”

As you can imagine, there are many sequels, remakes and new adaptations to come in the coming years!
