According to an article about Embankment Films in ScreenDaily:

“Financed and green-lit for production next year are The Dressmaker starring Kate Winslet, and Mission Blacklist starring Robert Pattinson” (my emphasis)

This movie is starting to remind me of Unbound Captives.  Although I guess losing a director, finding a new director, finance may have disappeared with original director.  It’s all possible in the wonderful world that is the film industry.  I just hope we don’t spend all of next year wondering when is M:B filming.

I know we already know principal photography is happening in January 2014 which we posted here thanks to Production Weekly.   But I just wanted to add the latest screenshot from Embankment Film’s website because hey – put something out into the universe and you never know what you might receive.  Like I said on Twitter this morning – looks like we will be spending quite a bit of time in the cinema in 2014 … The Rover, Map to the Stars and Mission:Blacklist.  Who knows – we could even get Life.  I just wanted to *TWIRL* in all honesty.

Thanks to the gif maker!

Oh how I LOVE seeing any mention of Mission: Blacklist. Production Weekly tweeted this:

Added production office e-mails for 22 JUMP STREET, BLACKBIRD, BUSINESS TRIP, JOHN WICK & JOY RIDE 3 http://t.co/Mr654AE9CB

& at that link is their ‘Preview For 22 August’ & Mission: Blacklist is on the list.  No further information, but good to see things are still moving along   As we posted previously, the writers are working on the script re-writes so fingers crossed for some more news very soon.   As I’ve said before, we’ll take any little snippet we are given.

Only a little one, but we will take whatever we can get

Any news is good news in my world, so I guess not only do we find out that status, but we really do get confirmation that Jesper Ganslandt is the new director.

  

Ooooh exciting news  Thanks to @DylanKussman:

From Eric Jendresen’s Wikipedia:

As a writer/producer for film, his current projects include Mission: Blacklist (directed by Jesper Ganslandt and starring Robert Pattinson).

No other info is available at the moment & IMDb Pro still has Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire listed as director at this stage.  We”ll of course keep you updated.   I love when we hear any news about this film. I know I speak for all of us when I say how much I cannot wait to see Rob portray Eric Maddox.
