Zack Snyder Spills How He Planned Batman vs Superman Film

Who had an idea that the world being built in “Man of Steel” would bring about face-off between two most admired DC superheroes Batman and Superman in the sequel. I think very few fans guessed about it. The sadistic universe filled with highly advanced CGI of Kryptonians didn't appear to have any space for the Batman’s world, so when director Zack Snyder declared Batman vs Superman sequel, many people got quite confused. Was this the plan right from the start? Or was that just impetuous announcement?

In an interview with Forbes, Snyder has talked about how this idea turned out to be a part of the Man Of Steel sequel, telling that while Batman was under debate, no one were openly resorting to do so. He told that idea of including Batman was carelessly suggested.

"Maybe at the end of the second movie, some Kryptonite gets delivered to Bruce Wayne’s house or something", He said. “The problem is, once you say it out loud, then it’s kind of hard to go back, right? Once you say, "What about Batman?" then you realize, "Okay, that’s a cool idea. What else?" I mean, what do you say after that? …But I’m not gonna say at all that when I took the job to do Man of Steel that I did it in a subversive way to get to Batman. I really believe that only after contemplating who could face [Superman] did Batman come into the picture”.

Batman has already completed a trilogy, every movie being a blockbuster hit than the previous one. To make him appear again along with Superman has been decided with consideration of many aspects. Zack looks self-assured in his depiction of the Superman, nevertheless. As opposed to superhero flick Watchmen, Zack has explained that he has really succeeded in bringing the character into the actual world of humanity. And yes, that entails the infrequent execution of an influential being... that occurred in the comics, but wasn't element of the Christopher Reeves adaptations.

The question and answer session with Snyder is quite challenging, as it finally demonstrates very little regarding movie’s plot, typically due to the fact that it's still perking up and is under pre-production, and almost certainly for the reason that there is a gag order on Zack. However, he does tread softly around it by talking about the ultimate launch of the costumes. The film is going to be released on May 6th, 2016.

Beautiful White Horse of Gandalf from “Lord Of The Rings” Has Died

In films and TV shows, we often see and admire animal actors (like horses, dogs) that sometimes turn out to be as well-known as (and in exceptional cases, even more admired as compared to) the humans. There is something special about animals like horses and dogs for which they are frequently used for the right role in show business. Appearances of such animals (in most of cases) make a movie or TV show work even better than it would with just any man or woman cast. Do you think Will Smith’s “I am Legend” would have been same classic film without the role of his German Shepherd Dog? Definitely not. The dog not only fought to save life of his human counterpart, but he also made audiences cry when he had to be killed due to virus infection.

One such animal in an iconic role was a beautiful white horse in Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The fans of LOTR know the horse as Gandalf’s noble steed Shadowfax. The horse was also called as Blanco that accompanied Gandalf in various battles against the evil forces. This animal actor had been in bad health condition since several weeks, and now it is sad to announce that the gorgeous white horse has died a few daYs ago. Official website The One Ring has also shared a statement regarding this news from horse’s trainer, Cynthia Royal.

Cynthia told about horse's sickness that became significantly dangerous over few weeks. “He was suffERing from extremely serious issues with his intestinal tract and liver", she said.

The last few days of horse’s life were not all critical though, as Royal talked about a day out of his improVing health when he looked like same healthy horse as he appeared in film. Unluckily, prior to having opportunity to bring him home for his improvement, his health got worsened very quickly. He was put to sleep, while Cynthia sat beside him to relieve him.

Blanco has given an unforgettable performance together with his human counterpart Ian McKellen (Gandalf), and his bequest will always be remembered by LOTR fans AND remain everlastingly in a series of iconic movies. Of course, he will really be remembered, not for his beauty, but also amazing performance in the film. We are expecting to hear something from Sir Ian Mckellen on this sad death of his animal counterpart.

May he rest in peace.

See Latest Posters of New Characters in Upcoming “Transformers: Age of Extinction”, Michael Bay Admits It is First Film of New Trilogy

What more do you want to know about upcoming Transformers 4 other than huge war "Dino-bots" and Optimus Prime riding on one of them? Mark Wahlberg starring as lead character and Optimus Prime fighting along with Dino bots and Grimlock are enough to pull the fans toward the cinemas to watch this 4th installment of Transformers franchise. Now, some latest posters of the bots (which we will see in film) have been launched. They look somewhat animated as compared to the actual look of the bots in the movie. Bumblebee is back in action for a 4th consecutive film and it never fails to entertain audiences.

The director Michael Bay has recentlY revealed that upcoming “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is not a sequel that follows previous films, but it is a launch pad for a completely new trilogy with new story or script and casts.

“We had three, the first trilogy, and this is going to be the next one. It’s the first of a new trilogy. I’m not necessarily sure that I’m doing [the othERs], but that’s what it’s meant for", Bay said.

It seems that the Paramount studio has no uncertainty about the economic potentials of Bay’s Transformers franchise. The third installment of previous trilogy, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, had turned out to be a blockbuster film with more than $1 billion worldwide. There are many critics, but audiences who loVe such films are greater in number. People desire to watch new interesting characters with every new installment in the franchise. Michael Bay also talked about new autobot Lockdown which is shown below, AND what is its role in the film.

Bay explained, “Lockdown is an interesting character. He travels the galaxy, he works for somebody else. And he’s here for one person, one alien, and then he’s out of here."

This upcoming Transformers film is already looking very captivating, as it develops the prospective battle of Age of Extinction further than the war between Autobot and Decepticon in previous 3 movies. Transformers admirers are definitely going to argue about the employer of new robot Lockdown, and whether or not that disclosure will turn out to be a lead to the Transformers 5 that is already underway.

Bryan Singer Reveals Important Details about Link between “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and “X-Men: Apocalypse”

The upcoming film “X-Men: Days of Future Past” is a follow-up to the previously released film “X-Men: First Class” and is likely to show the current trilogy cast with a time-travel storyline. Bryan Singer has helmed the next X-Men project after his last X-Men 2 launch in 2003.
Bryan is also recently working on “X-Men: Apocalypse” (which is follow up of X-Men: Days of Future Past) while also completing promotional campaigns for Days of Future Past. Bryan has told that Apocalypse is a sequel to both previous films and includes the era of 80s rather than the ’70s or ’60s like other two films.

Bryan goes over some new Apocalypse details like how the movie is set to demonstrate “ancient mutancY” – by considering how earliest civilizations recognized mutants with super-powers. He said he is looking forward to present fan-favorites like Gambit and Nightcrawler, who could not make their place in Days of Future Past.

Singer also elaborated his earliER statements about Days of Future Past‘s link with Apocalypse, like when previously had said that the events in Days of Future Past will lead to the events in Apocalypse. In this regard, he currently said this in an interView:

“You won’t feel at the end of the movie that it set up Apocalypse. What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what we’ll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen.”

Optimistically, if we analyze his statement, what he is describing is that Days of Future Past is enjoyable as a separate watching experience, plus providing the base for the next chapter in a continuing story. Certainly, if everything goes fine in Days of Future Past, it could lead to an evenly excellent story in Apocalypse.

Bryan has further revealed that Apocalypse’s story, which screenwriters Dan Harris AND Mike Dougherty are assisting to compose, will be fairly derived from the well-known 1990s Age of Apocalypse comic book. However, he stressed that both movie will have major disparities between them.

Through trailer of Days of Future Past, we see that the film is likely to give an extensive image of a dystopian future, where mutants are at the edge of complete extermination and worldwide human race has been greatly ruined in the process. Hugh Jackman had earlier said that the film is so huge in scale, it’s like watching 3 films in 1.

Kick-Ass 2 Director Jeff Wadlow Will Write Screen-Play for film “Masters of the Universe”

In the 80s, Masters of the Universe was one of the most appreciated shows for children. And Columbia Pictures has been struggling to twist it into a new live action film for the new generation. In this regard, the writer-director Jeff Wadlow has been announced to rewrite the screenplay for the reboot rooted on well-liked line of action characters from children’s cartoon that include He-Man, Skeletor and She-ra. Wadlow is known for “Kick-Ass 2”, “Never Back Down” and co-writing and directing the diabolically compelling horror-thriller Cry_Wolf.

This might imply that the studio is looking for a graver take on the reboot. That said, it is highlY likely the film would turn out to be anything away from PG-13, for the reason that othERwise they would be unable to benefit from the lovable and receptiVe toy-involving little children demographic. Currently, Jeff has not been proposed to helm the project, but it is possible that rewriting screenplay can make him to be one of the favorable options to direct the film.

Unforgettably, first live action film of “Masters of the Universe” was released in cinemas in the 1987. He-Man character was played by Dolph Lundgren, while other cast members included Frank Langella as Skeletor, Meg Foster as Evil-Lyn, Billy Barty as Gwildor, AND Courteney Cox as Julie Winston, with Gary Goddard at the helm of the project. Unfortunately, this film was unable to inspire or live up to the expectations of people.

Since then, many efforts have been made to come up with most satisfactory film and get this franchise going again. Jeff's choice to rewrite screenplay is just most recent effort in Masters of the Universe's drive to the Hollywood box office.

We have also received news about the franchise in 2004, when John Woo was hired for this project. Previously, Warner Bros. was trying to produce “Masters of the Universe” with producer Joel Schumaker. Until 2009, Warner Bros had secured the release of their version of He-Man on payment of bail, and later Columbia grabbed the rights. After that, Alex Litvak and Mike Finch were hired to come up with a script.

By 2012, the director of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Jon M. Chu, was linked with this project for a short term. A few months later, Richard Wenk was hired to write the script. Terry Rossio was also attached with project to rewrite the screenplay that had already been shaped by an upsetting amount of writers. Now finally Wadlow is working on screenplay.

Check out Latest Stills from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar Holding a Shotgun

Fans are eagerly waiting to see the war between humanity and apes. Speculation and anticipation has already increased after seeing the trailer and having sneaked peek into the latest pictures from the upcoming film “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”. The trailer and posters indicate that humanity is on the losing side. We see that an extensive plague has obliterated a huge amount of earth’s population, deserting a wretched group of survivors, who are struggling to make a new human world in San Francisco. But to do so, they have to make peace with the new dominant specie of Earth, an army of mentallY superior apes who are lead by Caesar. Take a look at his picture in all his magnificence up top.

In the first film, fans had already got hint of the sequel of the story of Caesar. And some latest stills have arrived from the fast approaching Apes film. These chosen pictures show us both sides of this war, from the humans--played by Keri Russell (Mission: Impossible III, Dark Skies), Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, The Great Gatsby), and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, Let Me In)--and the apes, played through motion-capture by Andy Serkis, Toby Kebbell (Prince of PERsia, Wrath of the Titans) and Judy Greer (What Women Want, Three Kings). See the exciting photo of Caesar holding a shotgun and leading the apes.

Director Matt Reeves (known for Sci-fi film CloVerfield) talked openly about how this sequel will play a key part for the better story of the franchise.

"We've got apes on horses", He said. "There is a sense in the beginning of the movie that apes have inherited the Earth."

He further elaborated that the survivors live at a dangerous moment in the earth's history. Both races, apes AND humans, struggle to survive against each other. Both want complete domination. But the real question that comes to mind at this level is: can they co-exist?

Well, we can only find the answer to this question by watching the film. Such speculations make this film more fascinating. So, are you waiting to watch what happens next?

Latest Stills from “Guardians of the Galaxy”, Which is Connected to Avengers 3

Are you already much anticipating about the film? Prepare yourself because you will be hooked on Marvel’s space-faring adventure “Guardians of the Galaxy” (GoG) when it will be released in cinemas this August. This highly anticipated Sci-Fi film looks even beyond recent persistence if we think about what we experienced through the prosy adventures of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But GoG is still providing sources for upcoming films, even if it is not the verY next installment in the current Marvel world.

The director and writer James Gunn has spilled some new stills and important details about the film. James Gunn has confirmed that big bad villain of Marvel’s univERse, Thanos, has a small part in the moVie. Gunn has also revealed that this story is taking place in the setting of the Marvel universe by mentioning, "We're definitely connected to 'Avengers 3.'" It means that Avengers 3 AND Guardians of the Galaxy is happening in same time frame and universe.

Gunn has already revealed the news that there would be Avengers 3, while everyone is waiting for the launch of “Avengers 2” and none of us were considering a 3rd Avengers. It seems to be true. We had a glimpse of Thanos in the end of Avengers but since then nobody heard about this majestic space villain.

According to the plot details, in film GoG, we will see Thanos’ adopted daughter Gamora (which is played by Zoe Saldana), while famous wrestler turned actor Dave Bautista is playing role of Drax, who is avenging Thanos for killing his family. Many comic enthusiasts relate Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, created of the Infinity Gems. According to the Marvel conjectures, the Tesseract of Avengers and the Aether in film “Thor: The Dark World” are considered to be 2 of such gems. In the end of the Dark World, we see one of them in the possession of Guardians’ bad character The Collector.

Had you ever thought that all your comic stories that you read in your childhood or early life would build up to this scenario? In addition, check out some latest stills of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians wearing yellow matching suit in one picture while rocket raccoon holding a bug gun. And then there is the picture where our comic wisdom seems quite short. This unspecified character Peter Quill/Starlord (played by Chris Pratt) in the picture along with Gamoral holding a strange object which is considered to be the Infinity Stone.

Megan Fox Spills about Upcoming Mutant Ninja Turtles Film

When asked about nature of her personality, “Transformers” star Megan Fox has several times described her personality as a “nerd”. Well, it is hard to believe and we never thought about her in that point of view. But, now we will be able to see her in a nerdy role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

“I was really in love with them,” admits Fox, who is playing the character of April O’Neil. “I have an older sister that’s 12 years older than me, so part of it initially was because I wanted to be like my big sister. ”

You can imagine her extreme affection for the characters from the fact that she even compelled her hubby Brian Austin Green to see the effusively emotional Turtle films with her when they were dating. She has been a fan of ninja turtles since childhood just like all other adults who used to watch ninja turtles cartoons when theY were children. We can say that her love of characters made her to quickly sign up for this live action ninja turtle’s film when she was offered by Michael Bay, who serving as the producER of the film.

About Michael bay, Fox said that he was one of the most charming indiViduals with whom she had worked. She had also once openly argument with Michael, but the matter was resolved shortly.

Jonathan Liebesman, who is known for Wrath of the Titans, Battle Los Angeles, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Darkness Falls) has been assigned to helm the project. He and Michael Bay had a jittery dream of the movie that came with a dramatic alteration in the 4 mutant turtles, now brought to life through CG. In trailer AND sneak-peeks, we have seen much dramatic action sequences and some unexpected modern details like a total change in Fox’s character, April. Many fans seemed to be not admiring this change, which fits Megan just fine.

Fox tells about her renewed character. “It’s more representative of a modern woman. I’m completely clothed for the entire movie. There’s no gratuitous skin or sexual anything.”

Are you satisfied with the recent trailer of TMNT and Fox’s casting as April?

Karl Urban Wants “Dredd” Sequel and Requests Fans to Sign a Petition

It is said that actual fans are those who intensely love and share what they admire no matter what happens. They never let go what they love, even despite ostensibly definite letdown. This is the reason that a large number of fans are very excited about the initiative of a “Dredd” sequel, in spite of the fact that Lionsgate has not many grounds to pursue this project. After the huge success of “Dredd” starring Karl Urban as Judge Dredd and Lena Headey as villain Ma-Ma, there are still chances of creating a sequel, as a huge fan base is demanding for it.

Karl Urban also want to work on Dredd’s sequel. Now the fans have launched a petition phase to collect votes in favor of the sequel. At the Emerald City Comic-Con, Karl Urban requested a large number of fans they should sign petition and like official Facebook page of the film in order to follow-up to 2012's grimy comic book adaptation. The 41-year-old star Urban, who is these days enjoying the last qualifying position on TV show “Almost Human” and can be substituted by another, could use a career improvement – while we still have to wait Years for the next Star Trek installment.

Undoubtedly, the actual issue here is the financial plan. According to various reports, Dredd’s total budget was almost $50 million, but it earned just $35 million throughout the world. Some reports show that Dredd grabbed anothER $17 million on Blu-ray and DVD, but it is yet not enough to provide a break-point.

When we see such figures, it seems that the sequel is not going to happen. It is important to note that Judge Dredd comes with a well-off history in pop culture, AND the today’s movies yielded mainly constructive reviews. In such scenario, it's easy to observe why fans are signing petition for a follow-up. But if you see through the eyes of a businessman, you will have to admit that the follow-up offers low profit, as $50 million is not enough.

If the producers lower the budget, they will almost certainly lose Urban, which means they lose a wide range of diehard fans. All in all, an actual and expensive Dredd 2 is something we want to watch, mainly with a rumbling Urban as the Judge Dredd.

So, what are your views about it? Do you want sequel of “Dredd”?

Marvel’s “Captain America″ and Warner Bros.’ Superman-Batman film Will Likely Have Face-Off on May 6, 2016

It is very surprising and unique scenario in the historY of Hollywood ever. The two dominant comic supERheroes franchises, Marvel and DC, will compete with each with their upcoming most anticipated moVies. According to various media reports, Disney AND Marvel have announced the third installment of “Captain America″ to be released on the same date as Warner Bros.’ untitled Superman-Batman film, that is May 6, 2016. Marvel had earlier announced the release in May 2016, and the launch date for DC’s Batman vs Superman film was currently drove to the same weekend.

Marvel confirmed the date through its web site after “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” topped at the Box office with record setting earning of more than $200 million throughout the world this weekend, with an projected $96.2 million nationally, for the  biggest American debut ever in this month. Overall, since its release, the sequel “Winter Soldier” has earned more than $300 million all over the world.

It is broadly expected that 1 of the 2 franchises will have to change the date again to avoid this clash that can bring about huge loss or revenue for both of them. It has been reported that Marvel and Disney are sanguine about the release of “Captain America” franchise and they anticipate that Warner Bros. will soon have to change the date. Warner’s “Man of Steel” has earned more than $670 million around the world.

The announcement has been made almost 3 months after WB had publicized that it would launch its untitled Superman-Batman film on May 6, 2016 — changing it back from July 17, 2015 (owing to script rewrites and cast preparation) — which indicates that this Man of Steel sequel would come to terms against another most admired Marvel movie that had not yet declared.

At the time, Warner Bros. had stated that the date had to be pushed to “help fully realize the vision”. The filming of Man of Steel sequel film is in progress in Michigan. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Clark Kent/Superman and Ben Affleck will play Batman/Bruce Wayne, with Zach Snyder at the helm of the project. Recently, “The Social Network” star Jesse Eisenberg was announced to play Lex Luthor, while other cast members include Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane, and Fast & Furious girl Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

Matt Gerald Will Play a Villain Role in Upcoming Marvel’s “Ant-Man”

It seems that the key cast of upcoming Marvel’s film “Ant-Man” has been completed with the addition of latest cast member “Matt Gerald” for a villainous role. It has been announced that he will plaY “one of the bad guys”, but it has not been told exactly which bad charactER he would play. A number of media sources reported this news, and the fact that Patrick Wilson (known for “Watchmen”, “The Conjuring” and “Insidious”) was also in talks for a key role in the film. Gerald has preViously appeared in several big Hollywood films including Avatar, Escape Plan, AND Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Even the sources have not revealed anything about his villain status, many fans might have imagined as much, as Gerald is considered to be an outstanding actor at playing enemies. Many people remember him as the cruel Ray Speltzer from Season 7 of highly acclaimed serial killer TV show “Dexter”. He played the role of a serial killer who used to put on horns prior to killing his targets.

Many fans also know him as his character White Power Dave from the short film titled as “Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King”, opposite Ben Kingsley and Sam Rockwell. His other credits are Red Dawn, TV show Castle, The Frozen Ground, Hawaii Five-0, TV series The Shield, Grimm, Intelligence and Last Resort.

Keeping in mind that he is not recapitulating the White Power Dave from “All Hail the King”, there is not nothing more to think about his bad character in Ant-Man, which is has become one of several anticipated films of the Summer 2015, particularly owing to the better cast that includes Michael Douglas as Hank Pym and Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man. Both are projected to wear the Ant-Man costume.

According to the comic books, Douglas’ character Dr. Henry Pym is the man who found out Pym Particles and is considered as the original Ant-Man, while Rudd’s character Scott Lang is a frantic crook who winds up thieving the Ant-Man outfit. This film has been projected to be launched on July 17, 2015, so we can expect to hear more news and details about the film this year, but for now, the cast is in progress satisfactorily, with “The Hobbit” star Evangaline Lilly and “End of Watch” star Michael Pena among the other big names linked to this film.

Famous MGM Star Mickey Rooney Has Passed Away at Age 93

One of the oldest American film and TV actors – Mickey Rooney – has passed away at the age of 93. He died at his home in North Hollywood. He was one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s leading box office actors when MGM was founded in 1924.

As proficient at humor as drama and an outstanding singer and musician, Mickey was looked upon as the complete performer in the HollYwood. All through his productive careER on stage and screen, he was nominated for 4 Oscars and won 2 special Oscars, the JuVenile Award in 1939 AND one in 1983 for his outstanding performance.

He was also very famous TV series actor and appeared in many TV films. He was nominated for 3 Emmy awards and won an Emmy for TV film “Bill”, in which he played the role of a mentally challenged person. In addition, he was nominated for Tony award for his brilliant performance in musical drama “Sugar Babies”, in which he appeared along with American dancer, singer and actress Ann Miller.

Both in his career and private life, Mickey endured a number of highs and lows. He tied the knot 8 times — initially to his MGM co-star Ava Gardner. Until middle age, he couldn't reasonably get rid of his fame as a youthful actor. Through his “Andy Hardy” movies, he came to personify the qualities of small-town American puerility. He turned out to be the leading star of Hollywood owing to such movies and a series of musicals along with Judy Garland.

The famous actress of 40s – Margaret O’Brien – has revealed that Rooney was currently working on a movie with her, in spite of news that he was not well for some time. The film “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” starring Margaret and Rooney is underway since several months.

“Mickey was the only one at the studio that was ever allowed to call me Maggie. ” said O’Brien in a statement.

He was also working on several other projects including Joseph Sikorski’s “Fragments From Olympus – The Vision of Nikola Tesla”, which is based on biography of Nikola Tesla, and David Rotan’s adventure comedy “Old Soldiers”.

May his soul Rest in Peace.

The New TV Ad with an Extended Look at Iconic Monster ‘Godzilla’ Has Been Launched

We all are eagerly waiting to see cinema’s most iconic monster of all time “Godzilla”. There is a wide range of gigantic movie monsters some of which we are going to see this summer, but all other monsters have nothing to compare with peculiarly big and powerful Godzilla. We already have seen the trailer after which Godzilla has become most anticipated film of the Year. Now with a new TV ad, we get have real thorough look at the famous Toho monster, the evil Godzilla.

It seems that the monstrous creature does not play around, as we get to watch truly eerie-looking, long-lasting destruction here. The visual effects look much better and it seems that evERyone is satisfied with it. We can say that this is the best terrifying film of the year.

By judging the trailers, we can say that Godzilla film may overlook most of its equals when it comes to quality and storyline. The recent TV ads and extended look Video have been absolutely brilliant. However, the video duration is just 2 AND half minutes, so we are wondering how it is an “extended look” rather than a trailer? Anyhow, it does provide an impressive sight of some new scenes. Warner Bros. studio has also shared this video on its official Facebook page.

In previous sneak-peeks, we have not seen “Kick Ass” star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, but recent extended video or TV ad is one of the few peeks to in fact show him as the leading actor of the movie. He is also set to appear in next year's “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. It will be interesting to watch last sneak-peeks just few weeks before film launch. We will see that whether or not they retreat on promoting the more well-known actor Bryan Cranston as the key character of the movie instead, provided that most fans would more probably prone to be familiar with Breaking Bad’s Walter White instead of the actor, who is going to play Quicksilver in 2015.

Albeit there is a good face shot of the Monster in this extended look, but like other TV ads and trailers launched prior to it, this one also teases the gigantic mass and power of the Godzilla without ever clearly presenting it with its entirety and nuclear roar.

Have you watched the new extended look at Godzilla? What do you think about it?

Some New Posters of “X-Men: Days of Future Past” Launched

This is a big prospective Year for Marvel studio. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” has recently been released in cinemas, while “The Amazing SpidER-Man 2” haVe much material to impress fans with its web of intrigue at the start of May. In August, another space sci-fi superheroes flick “Guardians of the Galaxy” is projected to be released. AND last but not least, we can say most estimated movie of the year “X-Men: Days of Future Past” is coming to wow audiences this May. So, get ready to see a number of anticipated Marvel movies, whose trailers we have already watched.

Marvel has revealed 9 new posters for X-Men: Days of Future Past, which are very cool like this...

Don’t confuse these new posters with the earlier launched ones. These posters give the impression that they are the model posters that assisted whoever was liable to choose the design they deemed advertise the movie perfectly. If a poster is designed to correctly show the quality of the movie and its advertising, then such posters cause an emotional disturbance.

There is no uniformity with the appearance of these one sheets. One poster includes a previous mutant immersed in orange color, while a future mutant covered in blue, just to turn over the color format totally in the subsequent poster in the line. In addition, distinct mutants of past and future have been connected in random combinations, such as past Beast and future Storm unless they are turning out to be partners or lovers. Looking at the recent trailer, as well as the gossips in media circles, such concept doesn't appear to be expected. But, it is good to see that both past character and future character of Magneto has been combined together in one poster.

Still, a few better overwhelming preferences could have been further spotlighted, such as following outstanding Wolverine-oriented one sheet.

The movie title isn't domineering, the art approach merges the colors in a dazzling way, and the decaying depiction of Wolverine imaginatively gives an impression that things are about to get chaotic.

The project is helmed by none other than Bryan Jay Singer, who also directed X-Men: First Class and X-Men 2. It has also been announced that he will also direct “X-Men: Apocalypse” which is set to release in 2016.

What are your views about these posters? Did you like them? Check out other posters below:

Chiwetel Ejiofor is in talks to play Villain in Next Installment of Bond Franchise

Oscar nominated star of Oscar nominated film “12 Years a Slave”, Chiwetel Ejiofor, is the top choice of MGM and Sony to play the next antagonist in Sam Mendes' upcoming installment of Bond franchise. In his outstanding performance as the ex-MI6 fanatic Silva, Javier Bardem turned out to be not only an iconic villain, but one of the best bad characters in entire history of Bond franchise. Choosing next bond villain is quite difficult task and whoever gets the opportunity to plaY it will cERtainly haVe to manage several comparisons - but maybe that's why Ejiofor is deemed as right actor to take this challenge.

Undoubtedly, Ejiofor has been performing outstANDingly in big budget Hollywood movies (Serenity, Salt, 2012, Inside Man, etc.) for a number of years, which has paved the way for him to be now in talks for a prospective key cast member of not only upcoming “Bond 24”, but has also been linked to forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. In addition, prior to signing a deal, scheduling is required to be exercised, as Ejiofor has also been confirmed to star in upcoming crime/drama Triple Nine, which is projected to start filming soon to be launched in 2015.

The deal has not been officially made so far; however, he will most likely be confirmed to play the villain role in next few days. Daniel Craig is all set to reprise his role as Bond for the fourth time, along with other key cast members of “SkyFall” including Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw (known for “Perfume” and “Cloud Atlas”) and Naomie Harris (known for Pirates of Caribbean). (Note: If Ejiofor officially joins cast of “Bond 24” in next few days, then most likely he will not sign for Star Wars.)

It seems that Judi Dench will not be reprise her role as “M” this time; however, Ralph Fiennes is going to be the new “M” of British secret agency MI6. Plot details of the film are not known so far.

When it comes to comparing Ejiofor with previous Bond villains, it is quite easy to depict him as a callous villain, yet also aristocratic and classy adversary for Bond. Certainly, a broad assessment of previous films is key factor to the script of upcoming movie, based on what Skyfall’s screenwriter John Logan advised to use usual Bond franchise aspects – not to mention, Daniel showing his longing to retake some typical Bond irony/camp, without being cheesy.

Do you think Chiwetel Ejiofor is good choice to play villain in upcoming Bond film?

Daniel Brühl to Play a Lawyer in “Woman In Gold” Alongside Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren

Quentin Tarantino deserves a lot credit and esteem for bringing the talent of amazing foreign actors like Michael Fassbender, Christoph Waltz, and Daniel Brühl to Hollywood’s spotlight. After appearing in highly admired Oscar nominated film Inglourious Basterds, the Spain born and German national Daniel Brühl has been showing his acting talent in several American films from the horror-thriller “Intruders”, to comedY-romance “2 Days In New York”, and to real life stories “Rush” and “The Fifth Estate”. He is now being considered to play an important lead role in another real life inspirational drama “Woman in Gold”, alongside “The Green LantERn” star Ryan Reynolds and “Red” star Helen Mirren.

A number of media sources haVe reported that negotiation between Brühl AND The Weinstein Company are underway, and Bruhl will most likely play an attorney in this real life drama, which will be helmed by Simon Curtis and will be based on script of Alexi Campbell. Reynolds will also play an attorney, while Mirren will play Maria Altmann, a Jewish expatriate from Nazi-occupied Austria, well known for her eventually victorious lawful movement to get back 5 family-owned paintings, which were stolen by the Nazis. While her flee from the prisons of Adolf Hitler may go towards a thrilling film on its own, this holocaust subsister's factual assertion to reputation is how she regained her family's collection. This is the main focus of the film.

Altmann was awarded with U.S. citizenship in 1945. She filed suit in federal court in 2000 to get back her family’s assets and had an approving ruling that Austria was not resistant from a suit. Reynolds will play the role of Altmann’s lawyer, who pursued her case in spite of having no idea in art. For his part, Brühl will bring his compelling sagacity of intimidation to the character of their rival, a legal representative fighting for the Austrian administration's claim to the paintings.

This is appeared to be a challenging and fascinating production. Helen has always been very compelling actor for her lead roles, while Reyan looks to do great as a supporting actor, rather than a leading actor. And Brühl is being much expected to bring heat to his character, as the rivalry between Reyan and Brühl is also main focus of the film.

Woman In Gold has been projected to start filming this May. We are anticipating hearing further news about other casting announcements from the studio.

‘The Expendables III’ Trailer Launched: Get Ready to See Some Real Action

That’s what we call a sudden surprise. The trailer of “The Expendables III” has been launched, and hats off to the talented minds like Director Patrick Hughes and Writer Sylvester Stallone for presenting things at a whole new level of visual direction and significantly broadening the capacity of the Expendables world. Forget about the gloomY action scenes and begrimed stores of the initial 2 installments of the franchise. Now, the new trailER provides the glimpse of open state, trains, helicopters, ballrooms, better action scenes and eVen new action heroes including Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, AND Mel Gibson. As opposed to an obvious action film, it appears like a real adventure. How appealing!

The trailer looks convincing with the excitement in watching the roll call of assembled stars and film message “Hang on, For the Last Ride”, as the Blade star Wesley Snipes says in the trailer, it's surely "Lots to digest". Hilariously, they rely rigorously on last-name credit of the action stars, which seems right with a Statham, a bit less reasonable with a “Crews”, and utterly claptrap with last name of other stars like "Powell" and “Rousey”, who are not yet enough well-known.

That would be Glen Powell, who appeared in “The Dark Knight Rises” for a small role.
Arnold Schwarzenegger looks great macho man in the trailer as always. It seems that he is not going to retire from his action films despite his much old age. It's expected that master mind behind this franchise – Sylvester Stallone – will also realize this aspect, because his age will be around 70 when 3rd installment releases in cinemas. It clearly seems the last installment of the franchise, as there is clear text in trailer “One Last Ride”. This franchise until now is like the All-Star Game of action films, where Sylvester seems mainly Michael Jordan and the bad-ass action hero like Statham are the LeBrons.

Previous two films turned out to be successful at the box office. In the 2nd film, we got to watch Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Chuck Norris in action. It seems that they will not be appearing in the upcoming film, as their place has been filled by other senior actors like Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford. The Expendables III has been projected to launch on August 15th this year.

It’s Confirmed: Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh to Star in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2'

Yes, it has been confirmed and it’s really happening. The Weinstein Company has decided to make a sequel of Ang Lee’s beautiful fantasY epic “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. Yuen Wo Ping has been announced to direct the film as well as helm the action choreography. Also coming back is action star Michelle Yeoh, who is going to reprise her character as Yu Shu Lien, while IP Man star Donnie Yen has been announced to play the character of Silent Wolf. The sequel is titled as “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: The Green Destiny”. But, it has not been confirmed so far whether or not Ziyi Zhang will reprise her role as Jen Yu.

Weinsteon Company’s co-chairpERson Harvey Weinstein has stated that he much appreciated Ang Lee’s ‘Crouching Tiger’ AND considered it as a one of the best directed films ever. He further said that they are in incredible hands with Yuen Wo Ping at helm of the sequel. Yuen has collaborated with Weinsteon before over several other film projects including Donnie Yen’s "Iron Monkey” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill”. Harvey called Yuen a matchless director as well as choreographer and said that he is very excited to join hands with him once more.

You perhaps think that this is the first time we are hearing about the production of Crouching Tiger 2, but this is not the case. We initially heard the news of Crouching Tiger 2 is in progress a couple of months back, but it has been underway for several years. Until now, the delay was an official conflict over the source material. As that issue has been settled now, the sequel has been projected to start filming this month.

The original film was based on Wang Du Lu’s Pentalogy, and it was blockbuster with record $213 million at the worldwide box office and more than $128 million in America. When it was released in 2000, it quickly turned out to be top earning foreign language movie in US history. It was nominated for 7 Academy Awards under different categories. It won 4 Academy Awards including the award for Best Foreign Language film.

At first, Ronny Yu was considered to helm the project, but later he was turned down and task was assigned to well-known action choreographer Yuen. So far, it seems that Ang Lee will not be contributing in any way in this project. But, you don’t need to be skeptical or worried, as the sequel still got the potential.

Jack Stanley Has Been Announced to Pen Down the Script of Chronicle’s Sequel

Director Josh Trank's MysterY Sci-Fi film “Chronicle” looked like a unique found footage movie, a short budgeted bombshell that amazingly collected a huge $126 million throughout the world. A lot of fans think that the ending is quite dreary, but it comes with a sliver of hope that enables them to connect the dots. HowevER, a studio just not pursuing a prospective lucrative franchise is just awful choice; so, Chronicle 2 is in progress, and a new writer is trying to come up with best content.

According to Various media reports, Jack Stanley (known for “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” AND “Carrie's War”) has been announced to write a perfect script for Chronicle 2. The first movie was scripted by candid penman Max Landis (known for writing short stories like “Ghost Closet '07”, “Tumbler”, “Dupe”, and “The Death And Return Of Superman”). But while he was hanged on to Chronicle 2, it appeared obvious that people in control took issue with his point of view. When he was allowed to go, he disclosed it on media (telling that Fox legal had no uncertainties and that it was finally quite special as compared to what the studio was following up on).

The plot of the sequel, which was written by Landis, centers on a girl's quest to be world's first super-powered criminal, and the new name was Martyr. It seemed like appealing and also possibly disturbing subject if we look at the aggressive insinuations of the original movie. Dane DeHaan's role was initially friendly but it became villainous in the end. However, he was not inevitably making cognizant judgments to cause huge chaos.

According to rumors, the studio intends to straight pursue the character of Alex Russell's (known for “Carrie” and “The Host”) at the end as he makes a journey worldwide, assisting others and controlling his skills. Now it is an opportunity to thematically create a script that sensibly connects the ending of first film to the beginning of sequel and to let some hope to go over what is a huge tragedy. It is also possible that perhaps Stanley's take on the sequel in fact resumes the original film’s superpowers idea but with all new characters. Most probably, the film story will in fact demonstrate strange alien thing that gave superpowers to characters.

What are your views about the sequel? What do you want to see in it?

Toby Kebbell Has Been Announced to Play ‘Doctor Doom’ in ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot

A couple of months back, it was announced that “House of Cards” star Kate Mara, “Project X” star Miles Teller, “Jumper” star Jamie Bell, and “Chronicles” star Michael B. Jordan had been confirmed to play lead Marvel’s Superhero characters Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, respectively, in upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot. Fox studio was looking for a perfect actor to play villain in reboot.

Now, the final major part of the new Marvel’s superhero flick’s mystery has been laid down. One of the Marvel’s greatest villains, Victor von Doom, who is usually called by his somewhat more villainous name Doctor Doom, will be played by Young actor Toby Kebbell, who is known for various mega-budget films like “Wrath of the Titans”, “Prince of Persia”, and “RocknRolla”.

According to various media sources, the deal has been made without providing further details regarding how Doom will wind up on screen in upcoming reboot. Although there is still quite a lot criticism over the choice of cast of the reboot, but we all hope that this vERsion cannot be poorer as compared to the Julian McMahon’s Version in 2005 movie, right?

The film will be directed by Josh Trank, who started his career in Hollywood with highly admired debut film “Chronicles”. It will be based on the Marvel comic “The Ultimate Fantastic Four” AND Jeremy Slater’s script, which will be rewritten by Simon Kinberg, who is known for “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and “Sherlock Holmes”. All the lead characters are much younger as compared to the all traditional versions of Marvel’s comics and films. In addition, some specific origin details are expected to be changed from the imaginative story written by Stan Lee more than forty years ago.

In “The Ultimate Fantastic Four” version, Doom in fact has the normal name “Victor van Damme” (most of people spell out it as “von Doom”, which seems wrong). According to the story of this version, he is an aristocrat who is (without any doubt) connected by a blood relationship to Vlad “the Impaler” Tepes. He has started various scientific projects, including the same scientific program as Reed Richards, and is influential in the mishap due to which all characters start to develop unique superpowers in them.

How much this reboot will differ from the Ultimate version? We have no idea so far. Are you satisfied with Fox’s choice of Toby Kebbell?
