Hello ladies and gentlemen, Since I didn't get to bring you news from yesterday I figured that I would combine today's and yesterday's news (3 stories from each day). So here is some movie news with some of my thoughts and opinions (which will be in BOLD print). So without further ado...

Production continues on the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and a few more set photos have made their way online (via CBM) and feature an interesting location: The Gotham City Jail! Check them out below. Starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, and Jeremy Irons, the Zack Snyder-directed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25, 2016.

These are pretty cool photos. I'm a huge Batman fan and to see that the Gotham City Jail will be featured in the film gets me excited. Maybe we'll even see a few of the criminals Batman has out behind bars. I cannot wait to see this film.
Fox Horror has unleashed the trailer for The Pyramid, the suspense thriller opening in theaters on December 5. Directed by Gregory Levasseur and produced by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes), the film stars Ashley Hinshaw, James Buckley, Denis O'Hare, Christa-Marie Nicola and Amir K. In The Pyramid, the ancient wonders of the world have long cursed explorers who've dared to uncover their secrets. But a team of U.S. archaeologists gets more than they bargained for when they discover a lost pyramid unlike any other in the Egyptian desert. As they unlock the horrific secrets buried within, they realize they aren't just trapped, they are being hunted.
This was a really stupid trailer. The film looks really stupid and It's a film I'll see but I'm not really that interested in the film. Plus its a horror film coming out in December which is just the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.
Cameras are set to roll on Ron Howard's third big screen Dan Brown adaptation in April 2015, Deadline reports. Tom Hanks will reprise his The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons role of Professor Robert Langdon for Inferno, which has been given a tentative release date of December 18, 2015.
The book itself marks the fourth novel to follow Langdon. Published in 2013, Inferno is officially described as follows: In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces... Dante’s Inferno. Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust... before the world is irrevocably altered.
I'm really surprised by this news. Now don't get me wrong this is the third book in the franchise so I see reason for it happening and plus the past two films have made a lot of money for the studio but the totals have declined each time. the first film grossed over $700 million and the second grossed over $400 million and that's a huge dropoff. Plus it's been almost 6 years between films when this is released. I'm not a fan of the franchise and I'm really skeptical on the film.

Marvel Studios (via Empire) has revealed a new photo from the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron and it features director Joss Whedon giving direction to Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, who said just recently he might show up in the forthcoming Captain America 3. You can check out the image below.
"It's more epic and in other ways it's more noirish and suspect and devious and specific," said Whedon of the sequel. "Ultron, he's got a touch of the apocalypse in him."
Opening in theaters on May 1, 2015, the highly-anticipated sequel also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, James Spader, Cobie Smulders, Thomas Kretschmann and Paul Bettany.

This photo is really cool. First off it's cool to see Joss Whedon in action directing the movie. Secondly Hawkeye's new outfit looks great and it's good to see him in action and hopefully he gets a little bit more screen time than he did in the last film.
Guy Ritchie appears to have found his King Arthur. Deadline reports that Pacific Rim and "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam is final negotiations for the leading role in the upcoming project, which hopes to launch a multi-film franchise. Variety, meanwhile, reports that Godzilla star Elizabeth Olsen is in talks for the female lead. Hunnam would join his Pacific Rim co-star Idris Elba, who was recently cast as a Merlin-like figure who trains and mentors Arthur. King Arthur is set for release on July 22, 2016.
This is really great casting. Charlie Hunnam is one of the best and brightest young talents in the buisness and working with Guy Ritchie will help his career a lot. Plus seeing Hunnam and Elba on screen togehter will be pretty cool too.
A big screen return for the Underworld franchise is in the works. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Lakeshore Entertainment is developing an Underworld reboot and has hired Priest scribe Cory Goodman to pen the screenplay. Underworld, directed by Len Wiseman, was released in 2003 and follows the adventures of Kate Beckinsale's Selene, a vampire "Death Dealer" caught in the war between vampires and Lycans. It was followed by three big screen sequels, Underworld: Evolution in 2006, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans in 2009 and Underworld: Awakening in 2012.
This is very interesting. Now I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of the franchise, but it has had some success so I'm not surprised there is another film on the way. However I am surprised that it'll be a reboot so soon after the last film. Maybe the studio feels that this is the best option. I personally feel that you either make a sequel or just stop the franchise completely.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, which of these stories peaked your interest or was there another story that interested you? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
