Tower of terror movie taika waititi8/25/2023 And while Jojo Rabbit does this all in a flashier, sleeker manner than some of his previous efforts, the timing of Jojo Rabbit's release, and its handling of the subject matter - with Waititi playing a goofy, idiotic Hitler and the spoofing of Nazi Germany - are done a bit too cavalierly for comfort. As is the case with Boy and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, this plays out through the perspective of a young boy who believes he is ready for manhood and quickly discovers there's more to being a grown-up than he thinks. Jojo Rabbit returns to some familiar themes seen in previous movies, primarily the depiction of the awkwardness of growing up and finding one's place in the world amidst the absurdities of life. Life takes a wild turn when Jojo discovers his mother ( Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl, Elsa ( Thomasin McKenzie), in their attic. Jojo is also keen to serve his country in any way he can, so he joins the Hitler Youth with his friend, Yorki ( Archie Yates). Jojo is enamored with his country’s president, Adolf Hitler, to the point he’s created an imaginary friend version of him. Adapted from the 2008 Christine Leunens novel Caging Skies, 2019’s Jojo Rabbit tells the story of Jojo Betzler ( Roman Griffin Davis) a young German boy coming of age during World War II. On top of all that, he has a Star Warsmovie in the works, an Akira movie in the works, and he is the producer on several hit TV shows including What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs, Our Flag Means Death (which he also stars in), and the upcoming Time Bandits.Ī recent Waititi feature, Jojo Rabbit, may be the first of his directorial and screenwriting efforts to scoop up Oscars, but I don’t think we should allow that recognition let this one slide. He's also reuniting with Jemaine Clement for The Incal, a sci-fi space opera flick based on the graphic novel by Jean 'Moebius' Griaud and Alejandro Jodorowsky. He is in pre-production for a Tower of Terror movie with John August ( Big Fish) and Josh Cooley ( Inside Out) attached as writers. Waititi is preparing for the release of Next Goal Wins, starring Michael Fassbender and Elisabeth Moss (plus a role with frequent collaborator Rhys Darby), which is now completed. We're all sitting down to Thor: Love and Thunder, but we should be prepared to see a lot more of Waititi in the coming years. The movie is inspired by the 2014’s documentary of the same name and is set to be released on November 17, 2023, after multiple delays.With nearly two decades worth of work under his belt as a director, Waititi is gearing up for what may be the highest-profile phase of his career yet. It stars Michael Fassbender as Thomas Rongen, a Dutch soccer coach who led the American Samoa national team to victory after their historical defeat against Australia. The next Waititi movie to hit theatres will be Next Goal Wins. Other highly-anticipated projects on Waititi’s plate include the Apple TV+ series adaptation of 1981’s Time Bandits and Netflix’s animated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory TV shows. The ride was previously turned into a 1997 TV movie starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst, though a new theatrical feature has been in development since 2015, when John August was tapped to write a story about five people in a rich hotel who take an elevator and disappear after it's hit by lightning.īesides Tower of Terror, Waititi will also work for Disney in an untitled Star Wars movie where he intends to star. Tower of Terror is based on the popular Disney theme park attraction, which culminate with a free-falling elevator drop. We had already reported that Johansson also produces the project through her company These Pictures, alongside Jonathan Lia, with Inside Out scribe Josh Cooley handling the screenplay. Taika Waititi is reportedly directing the upcoming Tower of Terrormovie starring Scarlett Johansson. By Navein Darshan| Published: 11th May 2023 05:13 PM
