Hollywood Happenings

Austin Butler is taking on his first film project since his Oscar-nominated performance as Elvis Presley in “Elvis.” His current project “City On Fire” will likely be a three-part franchise (if the film hits big), since it’s based on a best-selling book in a trilogy by Don Winslow. The film mixes elements from three Greek tragedies—“The Iliad,” “Odyssey” and “Aeneid”— and translates them to two contemporary criminal empires, one Irish and the other Italian, with a modern-day Helen of Troy plot.

“Paddington” (2014) grossed $282.8 million, and “Paddington 2” (2017) grossed $228 million. In July, they’ll start shooting the threequel titled “Paddington in Peru” (Peru being the birthplace of the bear). While Hugh Bonneville and Ben Whishaw are returning, in addition to Julie Walters and Peter Capaldi, there’s no mention of a return from Hugh Grant, who’s currently riding high with “Dungeons & Dragons.”

Whether the film will be received well by audiences remains to be seen, as many fans are sounding off about the live-action remakes Disney continues to shovel out. Decide for youself if this Peter Pan remake “flies.” (Disney+)
