Dope director Rick Famuyiwa is currently in talks to direct a teen martial arts movie titled Son Of Shaolin, which is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Jay Longino. The story follows a struggling street artist who must escape the grasp of a deadly killer who is eliminating his entire bloodline. Details regarding the film are currently under wraps, but Variety says the film is said to be a modern day kung fu film with a Hong Kong classic kung fu film style.
I'm just excited to see another film from Famuyiwa as Dope was an awesome film! If you haven't seen it yet...check it out before it leaves Netflix midway through next month!

According to Deadline, Dope director Rick Famuyiwa (who was also almost the Flash director) is in talks to direct an adaptation of Jay Longino’s graphic novel Son Of Shaolin. Longino himself wrote the first draft of the script and will serve as an executive producer along Dwayne Johnson and a number of other people whose names don’t matter as much as Dwayne Johnson’s names. (Before anyone gets too excited, though, Deadline points out that Johnson will not star.) As for Famuyiwa, studios have apparently been offering him a lot of projects since he left The Flash, but this is the one that seems to have caught his eye the most.

Dwayne Johnson has three films coming in 2017. And now, he's got three films coming in 2018 too...
Got a movie you’re trying to make? Why not put Dwayne Johnson in it? It’s what everyone else seems to be doing, and it’s bound to earn you a fervent flurry of publicity. The man who it may not be acceptable to call ‘The Rock’ anymore has a whopping 19 films on his slate at the moment (it's gone down, given that Moana is now in cinemas), though, so he may struggle to fit you in. But is there a movie star who's working harder right now? Just check this lot out...
