Max Landis Writing Chronicle 2

Fox wants more super-powered teensIt's a great week for that creative team involved with found footage super hero saga Chronicle. Yesterday, whispers started to interrupt that director Josh Trank had been specific by The new sony to defend myself against its planned Venom spin-off. We considered whether author Max Landis might add scripting responsibilities on that film to his busy work plate, but he's just obtained another thing which will keep him from the roads for some time: he'll write the Chronicle follow up. The film, which saw three teens performed by Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan getting telekinetic forces from the strange glowing substance, has gained $105 million worldwide after just 33 days in movie theaters. Pretty good for any movie that cost around $12 million to create. Naturally Fox is searching to visit that well again and we'd say employing the guy who authored the script appears just like a wise move.Be advised: we are going to enter into SPOILERS for anybody who has not seen the very first movie. Nothing continues to be stated by what the follow up might, er, chronicle (sorry, however it needed to be achieved), although the first film finishes with Jordan's Steve dead, DeHaan's Andrew apparently joining him within the afterlife and Russell's Matt travelling the planet on the look for a little meaning following the tragic occasions. Is the new story escape from the found footage style? We'll need to wait and find out. For a director, we are unsure Trank is going to be back, but he may just feel protective of his shared baby.Once we pointed out above, it is not as if Landis continues to be hanging out tweeting every couple of minutes (even when it feels as though he's, sometimes) since finishing focus on the very first film. She has several scripts at various stages bubbling away in development, including one of the numerous Frankenstein projects and Pied Piper at Fox, mercenary comedy Good Time Gang and adventure thriller Amnesty, that has Ron Howard attached.
