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 new final trailer from Lionsgate for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Katniss--defiant as ever--loudly declares to President Snow, "If we burn, you burn with us!" You can check out the trailer below. Opening in theaters on November 21 (with advanced tickets going on sale today), the Francis Lawrence-directed third film in the franchise stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. "Mockingjay - Part 1" finds Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage.
I really enjoyed this trailer. It was intense and it showed a few new scenes and I enjoyed the line that Katniss delivered and it may be a line that will be remembered for a very long time. I've loved the franchise so far and this film looks to make it better.
Entertainment Weekly has just revealed the plot of Terminator Genisys. The big piece of news for the film's plot is in how different Sarah Connor (played by Emilia Clarke) will be portrayed in the film. According to the report, Sarah was orphaned at 9 years old due to a Terminator sent back in time and as a result is raised by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, whom she calls “Pops." This older T-800 is "programmed to guard rather than to kill," and has apparently rubbed off on Sarah as she is described as "great with a sniper rifle but not so skilled at the nuances of human emotion." "Since she was 9 years old, she has been told everything that was supposed to happen," producer David Ellison says. "But Sarah fundamentally rejects that destiny. She says, 'That's not what I want to do.' It's her decision that drives the story in a very different direction."The first in a new trilogy of films, Terminator Genisys also stars Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi, Byung-hun Lee, Michael Gladis, and Sandrine Holt. Directed by Thor: The Dark World‘s Alan Taylor from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier, Terminator Genisys is set to hit theaters on July 1, 2015.
This is a really neat plot. It pretty much confirms what we've heard about the film and it starting off in the 1950's (30 years later would be the timeline for the original Terminator). The most interesting part is hearing that Arnold's character will be watching over and taking care of Sarah Conner. I really excited for the film to come out and see how it will revive the Terminator franchise.
Sony Pictures Classics has today released a new poster for director Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher, starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave, Sienna Miller and Anthony Michael Hall and you can check it out below. Based on true events, Foxcatcher tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers. When Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum) is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont (Carell) to move on to the du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother, Dave (Ruffalo). Driven by hidden needs, du Pont sees backing Schultz's bid for Gold and the chance to "coach" a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother (Redgrave). Flattered by the attention and entranced by du Pont's majestic world, Mark comes to see his benefactor as a father figure and grows increasingly dependent on him for approval. Though initially supportive, du Pont's mercurial personality turns and he begins to lure Mark into an unhealthy lifestyle that threatens to undermine his training. Soon du Pont's erratic behavior and cruel psychological game-play begin to erode the athlete's already shaky self-esteem. Meanwhile du Pont becomes fixated on Dave, who exudes the confidence both he and Mark lack, knowing that these are things even his money cannot buy. Fueled by du Pont's increasing paranoia and alienation from the brothers, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen. Foxcatcher hits theaters November 14.
I absolutely love this poster. It gives us a good glimpse of the main characters and it also gives off a dark ominous tone that sends chills down my spine. The trailers for the film have been perfect and Steve Carell's transformation looks amazing and I cannot wait to see this film.
A new trailer for Susanne Bier's Serena has arrived and you can check it out in the player below, courtesy of the interactive charity network Chideo. Marking the third time Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have teamed up (following David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle), Serena is set in the North Carolina mountains at the end of the 1920s. George and Serena Pemberton, love-struck newly-weds, begin to build a timber empire. Serena soon proves herself to be equal to any man: overseeing loggers, hunting rattlesnakes, even saving a man’s life in the wilderness. With power and influence now in their hands, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. However, once Serena discovers George's hidden past and faces an unchangeable fate of her own, the Pembertons' passionate marriage begins to unravel leading toward a dramatic reckoning. Magnolia Pictures will release Serena on iTunes / VOD February 26, 2015 and in theaters March 27, 2015.
This was a pretty bland and boring trailer. The film sounds interesting, but it doesn't look that great. It also didn't really show anything new from its first trailer. Eventhough you do have Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence in a film togehter it doesn't mean the film will be great, but I'll give it a shot.
Having surpassed a $1 billion dollar box office gross for his most recent film, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Michael Bay is looking at telling a very different kind of big screen story. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bay is eyeing 13 Hours, an adaptation of Mitchell Zuckoff's recently released, officially described as follows: "13 Hours" presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack. Chuck Hogan (The Town) has adapted the screenplay for the project, which is set up at Paramount Pictures with Erwin Stoff producing.
This is pretty interesting. Now look I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest Bay fan and what he's done to the Transformers franchise is flat out embarrassing. But outside of that franchise he's had some pretty decent films and he also has a great relationship with the military. With those factors in play this film has some good potential to it, I just wish it was in someone else's hands.
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.
