The latter is a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk by the folks who brought you <strong>Tangled<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0flagship <strong>Star Wars <\/strong>franchise officially reclaims its traditional hold on the Memorial Day weekend as Colin Trevorrow&#8217;s <strong>Star Wars Episode IX <\/strong>has been announced for May 24, 2019. That weekend was the customary release date for most Lucasfilms movies prior to <strong>Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/strong>, but that film and <strong>Star Wars: The Last Jedi <\/strong>were both\u00a0scheduled in December. The studio previously announced that the <strong>Han Solo <\/strong>spin-off would arrive in theaters on May 25, 2018, also a break from <strong>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story&#8217;s <\/strong>December release.<\/li>\n<li>Disney moved back their <strong>Indiana Jones <\/strong>project a year from July 19, 2019 to July 10, 2020. That puts the release just three days shy of Harrison Ford&#8217;s 78th birthday, which leads me to believe that the film will be a reboot or involve some sort of recasting.<\/li>\n<li>In its place, Disney has scheduled its live-action adaptation of <strong>The Lion King<\/strong>. Jon Favreau, who handled the live-action retelling of <strong>The Jungle Book<\/strong>, will be directing. Casting has already begun, a fact we&#8217;ll go into a bit more in a post or two.<\/li>\n<li>And, finally, to the joy of all the parents whose kids have just stopped singing the songs from the first one, <strong>Frozen 2 <\/strong>is set to arrive on November 27, 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whew!
