One Key Way Mortal Engines Is Changing From The Book, According To Peter Jackson

One Key Way Mortal Engines Is Changing From The Book, According To Peter Jackson

Mortal Engines is a film that has been in the works since 2009 -- and any movie developing for that long is going to go through some significant changes. Sure, the project is ultimately based on the novel source material by author Philip Reeve, but the feature has evolved like any story in order to make the best adaptation possible. Obsessive fans will surely notice the smaller alterations when the finished product is screened later this year, but it should be recognized there is one key difference that everyone can prepare for now: the main characters are significantly older. Or as producer/writer Peter Jackson puts it,

We've changed the book a bit in places. We've aged it up. The book is written for quite a young audience, to some degree, you know? And I just don't think anybody wants to see another teenage dystopian movie any time soon. So, it's one of the reasons why we've aged it sort of up, and we cast it a bit older. Tom and Hester in the book are younger... We had made it a little bit more adult.

In the books, first published in 2001, heroes Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw are written as teenage protagonists -- but because Hollywood has sufficiently driven teenager-led dystopian fiction into the ground, Mortal Engines decided to make an important change in that arena. Instead, the characters will be portrayed as (for lack of a better term) young adults, making the film more mature than its source material. So when you see the 30-year-old Robert Sheehan and Hera Hilmar playing those roles on the big screen later this year, don't be confused and think they are trying to appear half their age.

I actually learned about this significant change to Mortal Engines around this time last year, as I joined a small group of film journalists to visit the New Zealand set of project when production was still rolling. We had the pleasure of talking with the various members of the cast and crew over the duration of the trip, including a sit down with Peter Jackson. During that roundtable interview, he was asked if Philip Reeve suggested any changes to the material based on ideas he had writing the sequels -- and while Jackson said that wasn't the case, he did talk about some of the big ways the movie is different from the book.

After discussing the significant age changes, Peter Jackson then went on to talk about how the production has worked with Mortal Engines' author -- and he made it sound like Philip Reeve was very much kept in the look. Talking about the relationship, Jackson said,

In some respects it differs from the book in quite a few places, but not really [because Philip Reeve wanted to add something]. Although, Philip came out here, and we always send him script revisions as we do them, and he always seems to be very pleased with them. I think he, having written the four books that he did, he said that he wishes he could go back to the first one again and revise some parts of it - because you certainly see his confidence in the storytelling grows as these four books progress.

Directed by Christian Rivers, Mortal Engines is set in a world that has slowly rebuilt itself after nuclear war, with cities only able to survive by becoming mechanized and mobile -- devouring smaller cities/towns for resources and population growth. The story follows an apprentice historian named Tom (Robert Sheehan) as he gets caught up in an adventure with Hester (Hera Hilmar), a young woman who has learned a dark secret and is on a mission for revenge against one of society's most powerful figures, Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving).

We still have a while to wait for the arrival of Mortal Engines, with Universal scheduling it for release on December 14th -- but stay tuned to CinemaBlend between now and then for a whole lot more of our set visit coverage!

Kevin Smith's Profound Thoughts On His Heart Attack

Kevin Smith's Profound Thoughts On His Heart Attack

Earlier this week, Kevin Smith suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, following surgery, Smith made a recovery and has been discharged from the hospital. The director-writer has been opening up about the experience (he first shared the news with his fans via social media from the hospital), and he recently revealed his thoughts regarding his near-death experience. As thoughts of this nature can only be, they are profound and the filmmaker said that he's lived a remarkable life, and if it was his time to go then he had no complaints.

I don't want to say I feel like a dead man walking, but I do feel like I'm not supposed to be here anymore, and it doesn't make me want to leave, but it makes me appreciate how ... like, all right, let's do everything. I was supposed to be dead in that room, no doubt.

On Monday, Kevin Smith tweeted that he had suffered a "massive" heart attack and that the doctors had told him he had "100% blockage of my LAD artery." It could have been fatal, but Smith said his doctors had other plans and saved his life. The Clerks director now feels like he's on "borrowed time," and that he was "supposed to be dead in that room." Obviously, he's thankful that he didn't go, and he's making some lifestyle changes, such as becoming a vegetarian.

Digging deeper into the subject and his thoughts. Kevin Smith told The Hollywood Reporter that had his heart attack been fatal, he would have been ready to die. It's a scary thought, but Smith felt that he had lived a great life full of "ups and downs" with a profession that most people struggle their whole lives to break into.

I felt like, 'Oh, this is my time to leave the party,' and I'd done enough, dude. I only ever wanted to make Clerks; 25 years later, I did more sh-t than I ever imagined. I've gone on so many fucking adventures, and heights and falls, plummets, up and down, everything, and I just felt like, 'Well, the rest of your life, if you live, it's just going to kinda be more of the same, and you've done this and be happy that you got to do it at all. You got to do some shit people fucking dream [about] or will kill themselves to try to f-cking accomplish or get in their own lives, and it came to you all so easy. So if this is the price you have to pay for all that ease, checking out before age 50, that's --- how can you argue with that? Don't be shitty. Pay the bill. It's time.

Kevin Smith has always been upfront and candid about his film career and life, and it seems his near-death experience has only made him even more honest about his filmography. The filmmaker recognizes how lucky he is to be doing what he always wanted to do and while his work may not always be well received, he has no complaints. Smith has a few projects in the works such as and a Jay and Silent Bob reboot -- not to mention his podcasts -- but it's unknown when he'll be well enough to get back to work.

How Much Disney Apparently Made In Profit Off Star Wars: The Last Jedi

How Much Disney Apparently Made In Profit Off Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The Star Wars franchise has returned in a major way, with three successful installments reasserting the series' dominance since its revival in 2015. Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the latest film to continue the franchise from the galaxy far, far away, and it looks like it has handily turned into a major earner for the folks at Disney. In fact, with The Last Jedi's initial run now at an end and its home release finally upon us, it looks like the film has apparently earned a reasonably hefty profit for the studio, totaling over $400 million.

The numbers have reportedly started to come together as Star Wars: The Last Jedi has concluded its theatrical run, and it looks like things may have shaken out very well for Disney. All told, the film apparently made roughly $415.5 million in total profits from its $1.3 billion worldwide gross. Admittedly, this is slightly less that than the $780.1 million profit for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but the total number remains an incredibly impressive milestone that puts The Last Jedi above pretty much any other blockbuster from 2017, per Deadline .

It's hardly surprising to learn that Star Wars: The Last Jedi seems to have proven as successful as it has become. Following the history-making release of The Force Awakens, the stage was set for Rian Johnson to take the franchise in a new direction. Audiences all over the world wanted to know what Luke Skywalker would say when he finally got a chance to speak in the new trilogy, and the promise of payoff for many of Episode VII's lingering questions likely helped play a key role in the push to get audiences to theaters.

The reported news shines a light on the strength of Disney's recent business decisions and the financial power that the entertainment giant has at its back in Hollywood right now. The entire Star Wars franchise continues to serve as a massive cash cow, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe similarly delivering substantial box office numbers (looking at you, Black Panther) with its recent installments. Now, with Avengers: Infinity War next on deck for Disney, one has to assume that things may only improve from here.

Of course, if you're one of the people who missed Star Wars: The Last Jedi's theatrical run (or if you want to watch it again) then make sure to catch it on Digital HD, Blu-ray, and 4K -- all of which are now available for purchase. From here, the Star Wars saga will continue later this year when Ron Howard's Solo: A Star Wars Story debuts in theaters on May 25, and the current trilogy will conclude next year when J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode IX premieres on December 20.
