Multiple outlets report that a new Planet of the Apes movie is in the works, albeit in very early stages of development. The studio has teamed with Maze Runner filmmaker Wes Ball to bring to life another installment Planet of the Apes. 

It is unclear whether the film will be a remake of War for the Planet of the Apes, the last film in the most recent trilogy of the successful franchise or will pick up the Matt Reeves-directed feature left off.

According to Variety, the new film in the franchise marks the first major IP from the Fox library that Disney is developing on its own since the Fox-Disney merger.

The original Planet of the Apes film debuted in 1968.

Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville has a new home ahead of its forthcoming third season. News that the series will be available exclusively on the streaming service as a Hulu Original was confirmed by Deadline. 

Following the announcement of the move, MacFarlane said, “The Orville has been a labor of love for me, and there are two companies which have supported that vision in a big way: 20th Century Fox Television, where I’ve had a deal since the start of my career, and Fox Broadcasting Company, now Fox Entertainment, which has been my broadcast home for over 20 years.”

He continued: “My friends at the network understood what I was trying to do with this series, and they’ve done a spectacular job of marketing, launching and programming it for these past two seasons. But as the show has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise, I determined that I would not be able to deliver episodes until 2020, which would be challenging for the network. So we began to discuss how best to support the third season in a way that worked for the show. It’s exactly this kind of willingness to accommodate a show’s creative needs that’s made me want to stick around for so long. I am hugely indebted to Charlie Collier and Fox Entertainment for their generosity and look forward to developing future projects there. And to my new friends at Hulu, I look forward to our new partnership exploring the galaxy together.” 

The Orville is set 400 years in the future and follows The U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory spaceship and its both human and alien crew.

Best known for his role as Roger Sterling on AMC’s Mad Men, for which he received four Emmy nominations for best-supporting actor in a drama, has been cast in the lead role in the AI thriller from 20th Century Fox TV.

The pilot is described as a fact-based thriller grounded in the latest AI research. It features a brilliant but paranoid former tech CEO (Slattery) who joins a Homeland Cybersecurity Agent (Fernanda Andrade) and her team to stop the world’s first artificial intelligence crisis: the emergence of a rogue AI with the ability to continuously improve itself.

Slattery joins the previously announced Eve Harlowe, Aaron Moten, Gerardo Celasco and Michael Mosley.

The pilot was penned by Manny Coto and will be directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra. This is Slattery’s first pilot since his seven-year stint on Mad Men.
