Is the Legend of Tarzan going to be any good? Judging from the trailer … I have no idea. I’m too busy looking at Alexander Skarsgard…
Legend of Tarzan is coming out in July of 2016 so I know where I’ll be while the rest of you are watching The BFG...
Right now, the jury’s out on whether or not Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies will be an Oscar champ or an Oscar also-ran. But, regardless of how things go with the Academy, Spielberg’s follow-up to Bridge of Spies is already scheduled for a July 1st, 2016 release! It’s called The BFG and here’s the trailer!
Here’s the latest trailer for Jane Got A Gun, featuring Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, a hot air balloon, and a gun! This movie will be released on January 29th, 2016!
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has been gathering steam and buzz since it was first announced a couple years ago at San Diego Comic-Con. The film is now just a little over 4 months away from release. The fact that we’re even talking about latest trailers and clips about this film was an accomplishment all on its own.
This was a project that had been talked about for so many years, but never got on track. While some DC fans might decry what I’m about to say I do think they should thank the success of the Marvel Studios-produced films for getting this film on the fast track to being made. It made DC and Warner Bros. realize they weren’t the big bully in the blockbuster block anymore and needed something monumental to catch up.
With Man of Steel dividing comic book fans this film had to be made whether it made sense narrative-wise or not. Another so-so Superman film would not do. So, what better way to juice up the Son of Krypton franchise than by pitting him against DC’s other juggernaut property: Batman.
So, without further ado, here is the latest trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Like a lot of wonderful people, I’ve always understood that the day when Degrassi ceased production would be the day that I would officially be an adult. For that reason, I cried when I first heard that Degrassi was being canceled. But then, there were a light on the horizon. Netflix announced that they would continue the Degrassi saga. Well, Netflix did not lie! Degrassi: The Next Class is premiering in January and here’s the preview!
Judging from this preview, it doesn’t look like much has changed at Degrassi but that’s okay. Degrassi is a lot like real high school in that nothing ever really changes that much. Myself, I’m just hoping that Maya has finally found some sort of inner peace. I’ll also be interested to see if Spinner is still managing the Dot. Seriously, he’s never going to get out of Toronto…
So yay! This means I have at least a little while longer before I officially become an adult!
“A Titan against a Titan!”
Captain America: Civil War is the opening shot of Marvel’s Phase 3 for their cinematic universe. The huge success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, both in the box-office and among critics, even convinced Marvel Studios and Disney to pit this upcoming sequel against DC’s own Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. One of the two had to blink and move their release date and it ended up being DC.
In what many have called Avengers 2.5 due to the amount of Marvel superheroes involved in the story, Captain America: Civil War will look to explore the consequences of the collateral damage incurred by Captain America and his teammates in the Avengers whenever they fight it out in public. The destruction of Midtown Manhattan during the Battle of New York was the start. The wreckage of three advanced SHIELD Helicarriers in the Potomac was another. Yet, it looks like the destruction of the capital city of Sokovia during the team’s fight against Ultron may have been the straw that broke the global governments’ back.
So, will Tony Stark and his team of Pro-Registration win out over the out-gunned Team Captain America who do not want to be beholden to the agendas of any world government?
We shall find out when Captain America: Civil War drops on everyone on May 6, 2016.
I just shared a teaser for a miniseries that stars James Franco! Let’s follow that up with a teaser for a film that stars Dave Franco!
And after watching the trailer for Now You See Me 2, be sure to read Ryan’s review of the first Now You See Me!
James Franco in Dallas!?
Yes, please!
(James was actually in Dallas filming last month but I was on vacation so I missed him.)
It’s just unfortunate that James is going to be appearing in yet another rehash of the Kennedy assassination. Allow me to turn on my sarcasm as I say that this film will probably be a totally fair and even-handed portrait of my home city and that everyone in the cast will actually try to get the local accents right (as opposed to sound like a bunch of yankees with peanut butter in their mouth).
But, ultimately, all that really matters to me is that 11.22.63 stars James Franco! It’ll be available on Hulu starting on February 15th, 2016.
Just recently, I found myself wondering what had happened to Jeff Nichols’s Midnight Special? This film was one of the most highly anticipated films of 2015 and why not? After all, Nichols previously gave us Take Shelter and Mud. And Midnight Special starred Michael Shannon, a great actor if there ever was one.
But then suddenly, people stopped talking about Midnight Special and I wondered where it had gone. Well, now I have my answer. It’s gone to March of 2016.
Usually, whenever a release date changes, that’s a bad sign but you know what? I believe in Jeff Nichols and I believe in Michael Shannon and I can’t wait to see Midnight Special!
Just a couple weeks ago saw the release of the first and last official trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was teasers before that one. The official trailer was suppose to keep the Star Wars fandom sated until December 18 (or earlier for those willing to brave the early advance screenings before midnight). It pushed all the right buttons to keep the fandom happy and wanting more.
Out of the blue, this morning saw Disney release without any fanfare a new trailer but one cut and edited for the Japanese market. It’s a trailer that includes scenes and images already seen in the previous official trailer and two earlier teasers, but also happened to include newer scenes (that still doesn’t spoil what the film will be all about) involving BB-8, Kylo Ren and more Princess Leia and Chewie.
So, it would seem that when Disney said that the trailer released a couple weeks ago would be the one and only trailer for the film it would seem they meant it would be the only domestic trailer. Sneaky, sneaky there Disney.
Plus, I rather prefer the Japanese trailer. Once again proves the Japanese gets the cool things.
