NEIGHBORS 2, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, and THE JUNGLE BOOK Get New Photos
The stream of photos from Hollywood studios continues.
Universal Pictures has released the first pic from Neighbors 2, which sees Zac Efron and Seth Rogen suited up in short shorts while Rose Byrne is decked out in a cheerleader costume. Considering the fact that Chloe Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez joined the movie as sorority sisters, the new film will be about the stars from the first film joining forces to take down the sorority. That one hits theaters on May 20th, 2016.
Next up, EW has a couple of first-look photos of Emily Blunt as Rachel Watson in DreamWorks' The Girl on the Train, which is based on Paula Hawkins' best-selling novel. It's a suspense thriller about a wreck of a woman who rides the same train every day and imagines a made-up life for the couple she always sees out the window during her commute — until one day she witnesses something sinister and becomes embroiled in what happens next. I'm very excited to see this one, since I'm a big fan of Blunt's work. Tate Taylor (The Help) is directing, and that's the only thing that has me a little hesitant about this project. The Girl on the Train hits theaters on October 7th, 2016.
And finally, Empire has a new still from Jon Favreau's upcoming version of The Jungle Book, which features young Mowgli (Neel Sethi) embracing his wolf mother Raksha (Lupita Nyong'o). There's a lot of positive buzz out there about this movie right now, and we'll see if it's accurate when the film arrives in theaters on April 15th, 2016.
