BREAKING: Alice In Wonderland 2 has been set for a May 27, 2016 release, Disney
said today, finalizing a spot on the schedule for the sequel to the
studio’s massive 2010 hit that made more than $1.025B in worldwide box
office. The Muppets helmer James Bobin takes over from original director Tim Burton and back too is Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter. Depp of course is also in Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, which Disney moved off its original May 2015 date and reportedly was aiming it for summer 2016. That would make it the Summer of Depp if those plans are carried out.
As for Disney’s live-action Jungle Book, that pic now has an October 9, 2015 date. Deadline broke the story that Jon Favreau is aboard to direct
what is a priority project for the studio from a Justin Marks script.
When Favreau’s deal made Marks was wrapping the latest draft and the
studio wanted to begin production next year. Looks like all systems are
go now that there’s a date. Disney previously turned The Jungle Book into the classic 1967 animated film and a 1994 live-action feature helmed by Stephen Sommers.
