Russo Brothers – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Thu, 02 May 2024 11:00:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Russo Brothers – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Russos Update on Live-Action Hercules for Disney https://www.geekfeed.com/russos-update-on-live-action-hercules-for-disney/ Thu, 02 May 2024 11:00:54 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=82168 It was only a matter of time before Disney decided to reboot Hercules for live-action, and the project had the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame) producing the project. Fans were hopeful that the movie could start filming sometime this year, but it looks they would have to wait for longer.

Talking to Total Film the Russos were asked to update on the status of the Hercules movie directed by Guy Ritchie (The Gentlemen, Aladdin), to which they say that they are still waiting on a script” for.

We know that the story of Hercules has been adapted time and again throughout the decades, but the Disney version of the character is unique in that it’s a musical with fantastic humor, and it also has an interesting cartoon lens on what it means to be a celebrity around that time.

So far, rumors have been going around that Disney wanted Taron Egerton (Kingsman, Rocketman) for the part of Hercules with Ariana Grande (Wicked) taking on the part of Meg, but with the movie still in development, it’s possible that Disney could end up with someone else for their final couple.

Of course, everyone only wants Danny DeVito for the role of Phil, Hercules’ satyr trainer.  I woulnd’t even mind James Woods’ reprising the role of Hades because he is just fantastic as this used car salesman version of the Lord of the Underworld.

Hopefully theproject pushes through soon, but I would rather we get something more polished an passionate as compared to the live-action Aladdin which feels like Guy Ritchie was just phoning it in.

No release date has been announced for the live-action Hercules.

Millie Bobby Brown Teaming Up with Chris Pratt and the Russos https://www.geekfeed.com/bobby-brown-teaming-up-with-pratt-and-russos/ Fri, 01 Jul 2022 06:27:42 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=66737 Recent headlines have been made that Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown is being eyed for Star Wars, but it looks like a galaxy far far away will have to wait.

According to a recent post from Netflix, Brown will be teaming up with Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo for a film called Electric State. Here’s the announcement:

Besides Brown, the movie is also said to star Chris Pratt, who fans will best know as Star-Lord from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. We don’t have a look at Pratt and Brown in character yet, but with the Russos onboard, we should expect nothing short of a blockbuster.

With Stranger Things set to end soon, Brown is certainly making herself one busy star on and off-camera. Though she has appeared onscreen with the recent Godzilla films, she’s also credited as a producer with her other Netflix property, Enola Holmes.

Despite her other jobs, Brown’s most popular character is no doubt Eleven from Stranger Things, and the series is currently riding a high with the positive reception of the latest season. The show is actually on its final legs with the fifth season deemed to be the last, but like Breaking Bad, we think that the Duffer Brothers know just when to stop the series before it starts feeling too stale.

No release date has been announced for Electric State, but you can catch brown in the second Volume of Stranger Things 4 which premieres on Netflix on July 1.
