I have a beard and I love talking about movies. I do movie reviews that are short and sweet, top 10 lists from every genre possible as well as the latest 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)
In the latest issue of Empire magazine (via CBM), writer-director Matthew Vaugh revealed that the Kingsman 2 title will be Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Vaughn went on to confirm that the film will see Taron Egerton’s Eggsy and Mark Strong’s Merlin heading to the United States, where they’ll find an American verison of their own organization, lead by a “swaggering, sharpshooting cowboy.” “I didn’t know if I wanted to direct this or not,” Vaughn said of the film. “I was worried about the villain. Spy films are only as good as their villains. Then one morning I woke up with the whole storyline in place, and a new villain plot.” When asked if he would try to outdo the “church seqeunce” from the first film in the sequel, Vaughn said: “You try not to read what people want, but they do want another church sequence. I have no reason for another massacre to happen. But I have other sequences you’ve never seen before.” 20th Century Fox has set a June 16, 2017 release date for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Casting updates on the sequel so far have suggested that we will see Halle Berry join the franchise as the head of the CIA, with Julianne Moore in talks to play the film’s central villain. Edward Holcroft is also set to appear in the film, though whether he will reprise as his character from the first remains to be seen. I really love this title. It just sounds like something a film like Kingsman would have. Also the plot of the film makes sense and it shows that there is a bigger world outside of Kingsman and the fact that United States has their own service similar really thickens the plot. I love the idea of Julianne Moore being the villain because it's something we've not seen in a spy film where a woman is the main villain. I absolutely loved the first Kingsman and the fact that Matthew Vaughn is coming back direct a sequel shows how much he cares about the property and I cannot wait to see what he does with this film.
Following this first trailer released last week, Warner Bros. Pictures has decided that one wasn’t enough and that another The LEGO Batman Movie trailer should debut online, and with it you can see inside Wayne Manor along with some of the Batman villains that will appear in the film! You can check it out below. Will Arnett reprises his role of Batman from The LEGO Movie as the voice of the titular Dark Knight, alongside Michael Cera as Robin the boy wonder, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, Mariah Carey as Gotham’s mayor and Zach Galifianakis as The Joker. In the irreverent spirit of fun that made The LEGO Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure: The LEGO Batman Movie. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Chris McKay is directing The LEGO Batman Movie from a script by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter creator Seth Grahame-Smith (who will direct The Flash for Warner Bros. Pictures). Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed The LEGO Movie, are producing the film along with Dan Lin. The LEGO Batman Movie will open in theaters on February 10, 2017.
This trailer was way better than the first one. Both of them have been wonderful teases so far, but this one takes the cake. I love how they acknowledged all of the previous incarnations of Batman with the live action films that have come out on the past. We also got a quick glance at a few of the villains that will be making appearances in the film as well. If this film can be as good as The Lego Movie, then I think we have a whole new franchise to look forward to.
Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures have debuted a new international Warcraft trailer, which you can watch below! Titled Warcraft: The Beginning internationally, the film will be released overseas starting on May 25 and in North America on June 10. Warcraft is an epic adventure of world-colliding conflict based on Blizzard Entertainment’s global phenomenon. The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home. So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something. Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) and written by Charles Leavitt and Jones, the film stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Rob Kazinsky and Daniel Wu. Warcraft is a Legendary Pictures, Blizzard Entertainment and Atlas Entertainment production. The producers are Charles Roven, Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Alex Gartner and Stuart Fenegan. Jillian Share, Brent O’Connor, Michael Morhaime and Paul Sams serve as executive producers. Rob Pardo, Chris Metzen, Nick Carpenter and Rebecca Steel Roven co-produce.
This was a pretty decent trailer. It showed a lot of new footage that we haven't seen before and they really helped develop what the film is going to be about. It also looked like the visual effects were more developed this time around compared to the last trailer.As I've mentioned before, I am not the biggest World of Warcraft guy, but this film is really interesting for a lot of different reasons. This film has a lot of pressure on it when it comes to possibly being the first video game movie to actually work on the big screen and I think the film can do it.
New Line Cinema has debuted a chilling new The Conjuring 2 trailer, featuring returning stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Check out The Conjuring 2 trailer below, and catch the movie in theaters on June 10! Unlike the recent spinoff film, Annabelle (which explored the back story of the first film’s terrifying doll), The Conjuring 2 will continue the based-on-truth adventures of the Warrens, whose cases have also inspired the likes of The Haunting in Connecticut and most notably, The Amityville Horror. In the sequel, Lorraine and Ed Warren travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits. The Conjuring 2 also stars Frances O’Connor (TV’s “The Missing”) as the single mom, with Madison Wolfe (TV’s “Zoo”) and newcomers Lauren Esposito, Patrick McAuley and Benjamin Haigh as her children; Maria Doyle Kennedy (TV’s “Orphan Black”); Simon Delaney (TV’s “Roy”); Franka Potente (TV’s “The Bridge”); and Simon McBurney (Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation). In addition to directing the film, James Wan wrote the screenplay with Carey Hayes & Chad Hayes, and David Leslie Johnson. Peter Safran, Wan and Rob Cowan, who previously collaborated on The Conjuring, are producing. The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s The Conjuring, which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie in 2013. The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second-highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to The Exorcist.
This was a pretty haunting trailer. Usually horror trailers don't creep me out, but this one really got the best of me. It had a lot of nice scares that developed throughout the trailer and it got absolutely terrifying. I really enjoy the premise of this film and how it's a whole new adventure for us as an audience to go on with Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring was a really great film and the fact that everyone from the first film is back gets me excited that this film is going to be great.
In addition to The Conjuring 2 trailer, producer James Wan also debuted the Lights Out trailer at WonderCon. You can watch the Lights Out trailer in the player below! From New Line Cinema comes a tale of an unknown terror that lurks in the dark. When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out…and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger…once the lights go out. Directed by David F. Sandberg from a screenplay by Eric Heisserer, based on the short film by David F. Sandberg, Lights Out stars Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Alexander DiPersia, with Billy Burke and Maria Bello. The film is produced by James Wan, Lawrence Grey and Eric Heisserer, and executive produced by Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter, Richard Brener, Michael Clear, Jack Murray and Ben Everard. Lights Out opens in theaters on July 22.
This was a pretty decent trailer. Now as the article mentioned, it was a short film that had went viral on Facebook over the past year or so and I watched it one late night and it's amazing that a 2 minuted and 45 seconds would freak me out. Once you seen the monster it puts it into a whole new perspective of what this film can become. I love the fact that a viral award winning short is getting made into a film which actually inspires me to do some things that I have always planned on doing. I'm really looking forward to the film a whole lot and I hope that it does well.
