2-12-15 Movie News

        Hello ladies and gentlemen, here is some movie news with some of my thoughts and opinions (which will be in BOLD print). So without further ado...


(NOTE: All of these stories come from comingsoon.net)


        Sony Pictures has debuted the trailer for writer/director Cameron Crowe’s Aloha, starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, John Krasinski, Danny McBride and Alec Baldwin. In Aloha, a celebrated military contractor (Bradley Cooper) returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs – the US Space program in Honolulu, Hawaii – and reconnects with a long-ago love (Rachel McAdams) while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog (Emma Stone) assigned to him. Academy Award-winner Cameron Crowe is the writer-director behind such films as Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. Produced by Scott Rudin and Crowe, Aloha opens in theaters on May 29.


        This was a pretty nice little trailer. It gives a little more insight into what the film will be about plus it had some great music in it (Like most Cameron Crowe film trailers and films do). It's surprising to me that the film is coming out in May because it could easily be an Oscar contender with the director, story and cast. Anyway it will be refreshing to see and Oscar caliber movie come out in the middle of the summer blockbuster season.



        Warner Bros. has debuted the trailer and poster for director Guy Ritchie’s big screen adaptation of ’60s TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., featuring super spies Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill), Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) and Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander). Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe. The film stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Jared Harris, Elizabeth Debicki, Luca Calvani and Hugh Grant. The script was written by Ritchie and Lionel Wigram, and the action adventure was produced by Ritchie, Wigram, John Davis, Steve Clark-Hall and executive produced by David Dobkin. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will be released in theaters on August 14, 2015.


        This was a pretty awesome trailer. It was fast-paced and it had a lot of familiar set pieces that we are accustomed to seeing in Guy Ritchie movies. I've never watched and episode of the tv show, but this trailer has peaked my interest to maybe watch a couple of episodes here and there. The film and the cast look amazing and I cannot wait to see the film.



        We’re exactly one year away from the release of 20th Century Fox’s long-awaited Deadpool feature film and Ryan Reynolds has taken to Twitter to offer a sneak peek at the titular character’s Mask. "@VancityReynolds Sepia tone disguises the fact the mask is ballerina pink. It's early. 365 sleeps early. #deadpool #prototypes". Reynolds will be joined by T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein in the film which is also looking for its leading lady. The character previously appeared in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but given how that film was received (and the ending to last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past), it’s possible that film will not be acknowledged at all in the 2016 release. Tim Miller is set to helm the movie from a script by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Deadpool is currently scheduled for a release on February 12, 2016.

        This is a pretty cool picture. Look we've known that Ryan Reynolds was going to be Deadpool for a really long time (I don't the crap version of Deadpool on X-Men Origins: Wolverine), but to know that he is going to put on the actual costume just gets me excited for the film. I am a huge Deadpool fan and I'm just glad the he finally getting a solo film and Ryan Reynolds is the perfect person to play the Merc with a Mouth and I cannot wait to see this movie. 



        Set for release on April 24, 2015, Lionsgate’s upcoming romantic drama The Age of Adaline has debuted a new trailer and you can check it out below. Blake Lively and Harrison Ford headline the Lee Toland Krieger film, which follows the titluar Adaline (Lively), who ceases to age following an accident one icy night. She keeps her condition a closely-guarded secret and embarks on a number of incredible adventures throughout the 20th Century. After years of a solitary life, she finds the love and courage that enable her to fully begin living. The Age of Adaline co-stars Michiel Huisman, Kathy Baker and Ellen Burstyn.


        This was actually a pretty nice trailer. I certainly think that it is better than the first trailer that was released. This one explained things a little better and its got em interested in the film. The cast for the film is incredible and the story is intriguing and I can't wait to check the film out when it hits theaters. 



        Universal Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for Regression, the new thriller from Academy Award-winner Alejandro Amenábar (The Sea Inside, The Others), starring Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson and you can check both of them out below. Set in Minnesota in 1990, Regression follows detective Bruce Kenner (Hawke) as he investigates the case of young Angela (Watson), who accuses her father, John Gray (David Dencik), of an unspeakable crime. When John unexpectedly and without recollection admits guilt, renowned psychologist Dr. Raines (David Thewlis) is brought in to help him relive his memories and what they discover unmasks a horrifying nationwide mystery. The film will be released in the US by TWC-Dimension on August 28.

        The poster is pretty cool, but the trailer was horrible. The poster really gives you the sense that this will be a horror/thriller mix and it's pretty creepy. The Trailer however was horribly put together and it just didn't make any sense. Now granted it is a teaser, but it didn't tease me enough to be interested in the film. Hopefully the next trailer can be good to peak my interest enough to see the film

        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.
