Here’s the first trailer for Black Mass, the upcoming film in which Johnny Depp plays notorious Boston crime boss and most wanted fugitive, Whitey Bulger. Judging from this trailer, this looks like it might be Depp’s Oscar performance.
Seriously, check this out!
So, as you probably heard, AMC is doing a spin-off of The Walking Dead. It’s going to be called Fear the Walking Dead, which is not exactly the greatest title that I’ve ever heard.
(Seriously, Fear the Walking Dead sounds like it should be the title of a low-budget, Asylum-produced mockbuster version of The Walking Dead...)
But, despite that imperfect title, Fear the Walking Dead is still highly anticipated by Walking Dead fans. (Is Chris Hardwick going to host Talking Fear?) Apparently, it’s going to be a prequel, dealing with the early days of the zombie outbreak and maybe it will even offer up some clues as to why it all happened in the first place. Even better, it’s going to take place in Los Angeles so we won’t have to deal with any dodgy accents.
Here’s the first promo for Fear the Walking Dead. It aired last night during the Walking Dead‘s season finale. It really doesn’t tell us much about the show itself but, at the same time, it does have a nicely ominous feel.
Oh my God, y’all — JAMES BOND IS COMING BACK!
Seriously, I may have bitched and whined about the generic title and the generic teaser poster of the latest James Bond film but, when you get right down to it, how can you not be excited by the prospect of a new Bond film?
SPECTRE is going to have some pretty big shoes to fill, considering that 2012’s Skyfall was one of the best Bond films ever, as well as being the film that finally convinced a lot of people (including me) that Daniel Craig actually could be a credible 007.
Will SPECTRE be as good as Skyfall or will it be another Quantum of Solace? When the film was first officially announced, I was cautiously optimistic, largely because of the fact that Sam Mendes was returning as the film’s director. (It’s interesting that Mendes has both directed one of the best Bond films and one of the worst best picture winners. Seriously, American Beauty sucks.)
Well, today, the first teaser for SPECTRE was released and you know what? It actually looks pretty promising. Judging from the trailer, it appears that SPECTRE will follow up directly on the events at the end of Skyfall and it will involve secrets from Bond’s past. It’s a surprisingly low-key trailer, one that hints that SPECTRE may be even more of a moody film that Skyfall.
Is it May 1st yet?
Earlier today, the teaser poster for SPECTRE was released. Here it is!
Now, I have to admit that I was a bit underwhelmed when I first saw it and I was planning on going on for a few thousands words about what this image might mean. However, as I’m currently dealing with a case of bronchitis and I need to get some rest, I’m just going to include the following twitter exchange which will explain both my reaction and why there may be more to this image than I originally considered.
Regardless of how I felt about the teaser poster, I was looking forward to SPECTRE because Sam Mendes did such a great job with Skyfall. However, learning that Live and Let Die is Mendes’s favorite just makes me even more excited!
Seriously, Live and Let Die was great.
SPECTRE will be released on November 6th of this year.
When will studios finally smarten up and realize that Guillermo Del Toro is one of the preeminent fantasists of our time. Just give him the money and talent to finally make his dream project for the bigscreen: At the Mountains of Madness.
Until that happens we shall have to wait with anticipation for every new project he does see through to completion. This time around he leaves the world of Jaegers and Kaiju and takes us into the world of gothic horror with his upcoming film Crimson Peak.
The most talented cast he has work with to date, Crimson Peak is Del Toro’s take on the classic gothic ghost story but with more than just a tad and smidgen of his own narrative and visual style when it comes to horror. It stars Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver.
Crimson Peak is set for an October 16, 2015 release date. Just in time for Halloween.
And finally, here’s one final Super Bowl preview to share with all of you. Now, I have to be honest. I never watched Heroes. That guy who was always screaming in the commercials got on my nerves. I did however enjoy bugging Dazzling Erin by continually saying, “Save the cheerleader, save the world” during the entirety of the show’s run.
Awwwww …. good memories.
Anyway, in the form of a 13-episode miniseries, Heroes is making a comeback on NBC and a lot of people online are excited about it. Me, I’m still trying to get caught up on Agents of SHIELD…
Just judging from this short teaser, the upcoming film Turbo Kid looks like something that quite a few of our readers might enjoy. It certainly got a good reaction when it premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It’s a post-apocalyptic adventure film that features some familiar Canadian actors. In the role of Turbo Kid, we have Munro Chambers, who is best known for playing Eli, everyone’s favorite bipolar, aspiring filmmaker, on Degrassi.
From some of the same people who brought you Hobo With A Shotgun, here’s the teaser for Turbo Kid!
The Walking Dead will return on February 8th. Here’s the latest promo from AMC. It’s called “Another Day.”
As we all know, the zombie apocalypse is set to continue on February 8th! That’s when The Walking Dead returns to television.
Earlier today, AMC released the latest Walking Dead teaser and it is a celebration of survival, unity, Andrew Lincoln’s facial hair, and guns!
