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)
Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of "Sherlock," The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and the upcoming The Imitation Game, has, according to Deadline, taken the leading role in Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange! Doctor Strange is based on the character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who made his first appearance in 1963's "Strange Tales" #110. It follows the adventures of Stephen Strange (nodded at in this year's Captain America: The Winter Soldier), a brilliant neurosurgeon who, following a car accident, loses precision in his hands. His quest to regain his former skills sets Strange on a path to become the "Master of the Mystic Arts."Although no official release date has been set for the film, the time table for production would lead one to believe that Doctor Strange will land on the July 8, 2016 release date that Marvel has already bookmarked for a theatrical release.
This is great casting. Now let me be clear this is just a rumor since Marvel hasn't released anything official. Some repeatable sources such as Deadline and Variety are confirming the news, but nothing is truly official until Marvel says so. If it is true then I am excited as can be for this simply becuase Benedict Cumberbatch is so talented and this is a perfect role for him. The big question that might convince me otherwise on the news is if he'll have time to do the film because he's a very busy man. My choices for the role were Patrick Dempsey and Jared Leto, but Cumberbatch is just as good.
"The Old Order Changeth!" Stan Lee famously set as the title for "The Avengers" #16 (a nod to Alfred Tennyson's "Morte d'Arthur"). That issue, which hit the stands in 1965, offered the first roster shift for Marvel's mighty superhero team. Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms to BuzzFeed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is likely to follow suite in the wake of next summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron. "It's like as it was in publishing," Feige tells the outlet, "when each of the characters would go on their own adventures and then occasionally team up for a big, 12-issue mega-event. Then they would go back into their own comics, and be changed from whatever that event was. I envision the same thing occurring after this movie, because the [Avengers] roster is altered by the finale of this film.”
In the original comics, the founding members of The Avengers included Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp and Hulk. Hulk quit during the second issue and Captain America joined in issue four, but the significant shakeup that happened in issue 16 saw Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man (Giant-Man by then) and Wasp leave the team, making room for Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to continue alongside Captain America."It has to be this way" Iron Man says in that very issue. "The ranks of the Avengers will always need replenishing! The old must ever give way to the new!"
Of course, that original storyline sees relatively amicable departures for everyone involved. After last week's epic trailer, it's probably a safe bet that that's not going to be the case on the big screen Avengers: Age of Ultron, starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, James Spader, Cobie Smulders, Thomas Kretschmann, Paul Bettany and Stellan Skarsgard, hits theaters May 1, 2015.
This news isn't really surprising. I mean most of the actors involved have contracts that will be running out soon and Marvel needs to save these people for another film. What I mean is they don't want the contracts to run out with The Avengers 3, so they'll assemble a new team for the third film and then possibly bring back the original Avengers for an epic team-up film for The Avengers 4.
Ahead of the trailer debut this coming Saturday, November 1 (12 p.m. PST), Universal Pictures has unveiled a new one-sheet for Furious 7 that proves the series is so iconic we don't even need to see the leads in focus, just a set of tires and the promise of more vehicular mayhem and you can check out the poster below. Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. Directed by James Wan, Furious 7 also features Jason Statham, Tony Jaa, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou, John Brotherton and a cameo by Iggy Azaela. The new film will hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
I really like the poster. It gives us something that we already know about which is the cars, but the tagline also gives us something new. "Vengeance Hits Home" and what that basically means is that the main crew is out to get revenge for Hans death. I cannot wait for the trailer and for the film to come next April.
Moses (Christian Bale) is destined to lead, while Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton) is born to rule as 20th Century Fox rolls out three new posters for Ridley Scott's Bible epic Exodus: Gods and Kings and you can check out all three below. The December 12 release co-stars Aaron Paul, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley. Exodus: Gods and Kings is the story of one man's daring courage to take on the might of an empire. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.
I really like all of these posters. They show us the main two characters in there own posters and then them clashing against each other and I also like the color in each of the posters, but the main characters look a little silly just staring into space. The film looks amazing, but I'm a little nervous simply because Ridley Scott hasn't been himself lately and hopefully this film career can be a resurgence to his career.
Miramax has announced the start of principal photography on the supernatural thriller The 9th Life of Louis Drax, based on the 2010 novel by Liz Jensen. Starring Jamie Dornan, Aaron Paul, and Sarah Gadon, Oliver Platt (X-Men: First Class, Chef) has now joined the cast and will be playing one of Louis Drax’s psychologists, Dr. Perez. Aaron Paul plays the father of a Louis, a boy involved in a near-fatal accident. When Louis miraculously survives, the father comes under investigation even though there may be more mysterious forces at work. Jamie Dornan will play the boy's primary psychologist, Dr. Allan Pascal, who uncovers troubling sides to the story that defy reality. The 9th Life of Louis Drax is being shot in Vancouver under the direction of Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D), and will mark the screenwriting debut of actor Max Minghella (The Social Network).
This is great casting. Oliver Platt is a very talented actor and he is very underrated. I personally think that this is a great role and film for him. The film sounds really interesting and it has a solid cast so far and I'm really anxious to see it.
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.
