Law is currently in talks to play Captain Hook in the live-action film directed by David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon) from the screenplay that Lowery co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. The film’s based on the J.M. Barrie novel about Peter Pan, the boy who didn’t age, and the children he takes to Neverland.

To date, the 1953 animated film from Disney is the most successful adaptation of the novel, but other films, including Steven Spielberg’s Hook starring Robin Williams and Joe Wright’s Pan, have also adapted the book.

Law will join former Hools Dustin Hoffman, Jason Issacs, and Garret Hedlund if he signs onto the project.

So far, Ever Anderson as Wendy and Alexander Molony as Peter Pan have been announced as part of the cast. Disney had to halt production on the film in March due to the coronavirus.

Law has starred in many television and film roles and his most recent works are in HBO’s The New Pope and Paramount’s Rhythm Sections. He will be reprising his role as Dumbledore in the next Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film.

Disney’s live-action adaptations have been a huge hit this year with the release of Aladdin and The Lion King, which made over $1 billion at the global box office. There’s even a sequel in the works for Aladdin’s live-action film.

Deadline reports that Waititi is set to direct a horror-comedy series for Showtime. The Auteur is based on a graphic novel by Rick Spears, James Callahan, and Luigi Anderson. It will be written by Waititi alongside Peter Warren and is described as a “gonzo horror-comedy, a twisted romance and a glamorous, high wire act of biting satire.”

The series will star Jude Law and will follow a movie producer who, while trying to make a horror movie, ends up trapping his production on a back lot with a serial killer. Law will also executive produce the series alongside Waititi, Warren, Eric Gitter, Rick Spears, James Callahan, and Dan Halsted.

Amy Israel, Executive Vice President of Scripted Programming at Showtime, said in a press release for the series that “The Auteur unites the wildly imaginative filmmaker Taika Waititi and the barbed wit of Peter Warren with the undeniable Jude Law in a bloody love letter to the movies that will make you simultaneously die laughing and want to run for your life.”

The Avengers: Endgame actor starred as the famous detective in Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

With the second film having been released way back in 2011, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Downey Jr. ever donned a deerstalker.

The good news, however, is that the third film in the series seems to be back on track!

Warner Bros. had originally intended to release Sherlock Holmes 3 in December 2020, but then delayed the movie until Christmas Day 2021.

Part of the reason was the absence of a director, with Guy Ritchie, who helmed the first two, not doing so for the third.

Ritchie’s replacement has now been announced as Rocketman director Dexter Fletcher.

While plot details have not been revealed, Jude Law, who plays Dr. Watson, has indicated that it will focus on his and Sherlock’s relationship after having not seen each other in as long as we haven’t.

The veteran filmmaker behind The Godfather may be 80 years old, but that is not stopping him from directing his next film.

The movie, entitled Megalopolis, has been described as his dream project.

In development since the early 2000s, the film is about an architect who aims to create a utopia in New York City but is thwarted by the city’s mayor.

“At this age, I have to tell you, I am more enthusiastic and excited about the cinema and what it means and what it can be and even with all of the new digital aspects of it, which I think are being misused,” Coppola told Deadline.

As for who will be starring in the picture, the director confirmed that two big names have been considered.

“We made the offer now to several actors. I can’t say they’ve accepted, but they were very enthusiastic. One of them is Jude Law and another Shia LaBeouf. I may shortly have my lead actress.”

Let’s hope so.

The upcoming Sorrentino-helmed series is a sequel to 2016’s The Young Pope. While not much is known about the plot or the characters, it is known that Jude Law will reprise his role as the leader of the Catholic Church. It is also known that he will be joined by John Malkovich.

Back in January, HBO released a first-look image of Malkovich and Law, both in similar papal vestments, so it’s fair to assume that the series will feature two popes, much like the recent real-life situation that resulted in there being two living popes for the first time in centuries.

Other returning cast members include Cecile de France, Ludivine Sagnier, and Silvio Orlando.

No premiere date has been set yet.

In London, Jude Law had a little wedding of his own!

The Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald actor tied the knot with Phillipa Coan, whom he has been dating for four years.

The low-key, intimate affair at the Old Marylebone Town Hall was a surprise for friends and family.

Jude’s son Rafferty served as his best man, while the bride, who is a business psychologist with a PhD in environmental behavior change, wore a beautiful cream mini-dress and pale pink heels.

The happy couple was also rumored to be saying their “I do’s” in France, like Sophie and Joe!

Congratulations to all the newlyweds!

And Captain Marvel is that hero.

Marvel has now released the latest full-length trailer for the forthcoming film featuring the female superhero.

The film is set amidst an intergalactic war between two alien worlds during 1995.

Being the origin story of US Air Force fighter pilot, Carol Danvers, she has numerous questions regarding her past — prior to becoming Captain Marvel — and is ably abetted by Samuel L. Jackson in figuring them out.

The trailer also introduces us to Mar-Vell played by Jude Law and a mysterious character portrayed by Annette Bening.

One thing is not a mystery though — Brie Larson’s portrayal of Captain Marvel is bad-ass, as can be seen in the trailer’s opening scene where she kicks butt on a bus.

Those villains won’t know what’s hit ‘em come 6 March 2019!
