Chris Pratt is in negotiations to star in Skydance’s science-fiction project “Ghost Draft” with “Lego Batman’s” Chris McKay attached to direct.

Pratt’s deal is not closed. Plot details for “Ghost Draft,” a live-action project written by Zach Dean, are under wraps. Adam Kolbrenner and David S. Goyer will produce, with Dana Goldberg, Matt Grimm, and Don Granger overseeing for Skydance. Skydance is planning on a summer start of production.

Skydance is financing. David Ellison’s company is best known for the “Mission: Impossible” and “Star Trek” movie franchises. Its upcoming slate includes “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Terminator: Dark Fate,” and “Gemini Man.”

Pratt became a worldwide star after headlining Disney-Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies as Star-Lord/Peter Quill (also appearing in last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War”) and the “Jurassic World” films as dinosaur handler Owen. He also starred in “Passengers” with Jennifer Lawrence, and broke out in the long-running NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation.” He’s voicing both Emmett Brickowski and Rex Dangervest in “The Lego Movie 2: the Second Part.”

McKay made his feature directorial debut on “Lego Batman.” He’s attached to direct the Netflix comic book adaptation “Reborn” with Sandra Bullock producing.

Chris Pratt and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, Night School) swing by to talk about The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, their firsts, and the decade old secrets that bind them together in ways that one of them never even knew.

Ahead of the upcoming release of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, the film’s voice star Chris Pratt dropped into The Late Show Thursday night to chat with host Stephen Colbert.

Teasing his appearance on social media, the actor posted an Instagram video of himself drawing playful makeup onto the Lego characters he voices in the film: Rex Dangervest and Emmet Brickowski. It was accompanied by the caption, “Tonight Stephen Colbert and I get deep.”

Speaking about the first Lego movie [released in 2014], Pratt pointed out that expectations were not very high since people assumed a Lego movie would be “stupid.” He said, “but we made it, and it was great,” alluding to pressure for the sequel to succeed.

Chris Pratt braved the rainy Los Angeles skies Saturday to attend the “Lego Movie 2” premiere, where he assured fans that they will get a third “Guardians of the Galaxy” film.

When Variety‘s Marc Malkin asked if a third film could be made without James Gunn, Pratt said, “I promise there’ll be a third movie, I don’t know exactly what that’s going to look like, but I know everyone on board is just eager to give the fans what they want and wrap up a trilogy in a meaningful way.”

Whether or not a third “Guardians” would happen was thrown into question after director James Gunn was fired for years-old tweets appearing to make light of pedophilia and rape. Gunn apologized for the tweets, writing in a statement, “Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today. Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be…To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies.” The cast of “Guardians” penned a letter to Disney asking them to rehire Gunn, and several of the actors spoke out in support of the director, but Disney stood firm on his dismissal.

Production of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” was put on hold in August of last year, with Marvel and Disney telling the less than 20 crew members who had assembled for pre-production that they were free to look for other work.

But things could be looking up for the embattled film.

“We’re still circling the city of Jericho, I like to say,” Pratt added. [Source]
