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...

While filming continues for the 24th James Bond adventure, EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Sony Pictures Entertainment have released the teaser trailer for Spectre which you can watch below! Also, be sure to check out the report on our Spectre set visit in Mexico City! Directed by the Academy Award winning Sam Mendes (Skyfall, American Beauty), Spectre stars Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Munich), Ben Wishaw (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, I’m Not There), Naomie Harris (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, 28 Weeks Later), Ralph Fiennes (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Invisible Woman), Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds), Monica Bellucci (Irreversible, Malena), David Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Man with the Iron Fists), Léa Seydoux (Inglourious Basterds, Blue is the Warmest Color), Stephanie Sigman (Miss Bala, Pioneer), Andrew Scott (Locke, “Sherlock”) and Rory Kinnear (Quantum of Solace, The Imitation Game). In the movie, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE. SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), as Bond fans know, is a fictional global terrorist organization featured in Ian Fleming’s novels, as well as the films and video games based on those novels. The organization was led by the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, although the cast is definitely playing it coy about whether or not Blofeld will actually appear in the new film. Spectre, written by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, hits theaters and IMAX on November 6, 2015.
This was an awesome teaser. It had everything you could ever want in a Bond trailer and it teased you hardcore. It showed a shadowy figure at the end which was Christoph Waltz's character, but I'm glad they didn't show us his look becuase they may have something cool in store for us. If he doesn't have something wrong with his face then I will be highly disappointed. I loved the trailer and I cannot wait to see this film.
Oscar-winning rapper/songwriter Eminem has revealed the new trailer for the boxing redemption drama Southpaw, from director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) and starring Academy Award-nominated Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler, Brokeback Mountain). Eminem was originally attached to play the lead in the movie, but despite dropping out of the project he will be providing new music previewed in the trailer, which you can check out below. Billy “The Great” Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion with a beautiful family, home and financial security until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead and sends him into a downward spiral. His days now an endless haze of alcohol and prescription drugs, his daughter taken by Child Services and his home repossessed by the bank, Billy’s fate is all but sealed until a washed up former boxer named Tick (Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker) agrees to take the bereaved pugilist under his wing so long as he agrees to his strict ethos. Now, as he works to regain custody of his daughter and mounts a professional comeback, Billy must face his demons head-on as he learns that, sometimes, your greatest opponent can be yourself. Southpaw also co-stars Rachel McAdams, Rita Ora, Naomie Harris, Tyrese Gibson Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and boxer-turned-actor Victor Ortiz. It is written by Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”) and Richard Wenk (The Equalizer), and will be released by The Weinstein Company on July 31.
This was an intense trailer. When I first heard about the film I was mildly interested, until I saw a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of the film and he looked amazing. Now that I've seen the trailer I may move bump the film up in my most anticipated films for the 2nd half of 2015. From the looks of the trailer this could very well be Jake Gyllenhaal's greatest performance and he can easily get an Oscar nomination. I'm excited for this and I can't wait to see it.
Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, has taken to Twitter to debut an incredible reveal – the full suit from the upcoming movie and you can check it out below. The official synopsis for the film has also been revealed and reads as follows: Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Ryan Reynolds will star in the title role of the film along with Ed Skrein, TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, and Morena Baccarin as Copycat. The film will also feature the mutant Colossus, though Daniel Cudmore has confirmed he will not appear as the character. Tim Miller is set to direct 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 really cool picture. It fits the character of Deadpool in every way possible. I also really love the costume because we finally get to see Deadpool with a real outfit instead of the crap he wore and didn't wear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I've been waiting for this film for a long time and I cannot wait to see it.
Despite saying a month ago that he wants to continue playing the character until he dies, Hugh Jackman revealed a cryptic teaser on his Instagram today with the caption “Wolverine… One Last Time” with three of his signature claws extended.
Previous reports on a third solo Wolverine film indicate that it won’t begin production until next year, meaning this photo could be Jackman refuting rumors that he will appear in next year’s X-Men: Apocalypse, though this remains unconfirmed. Jackman has appeared as the character in every “X-Men” film to date, from being the focus of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine to just a cameo in 2011’s X-Men: First Class. His career as the character has lasted seven films over the course of 14 years. Writer David James Kelly is currently penning the screenplay for the third “Wolverine,” which according to Patrick Stewart could see Logan and Professor Xavier teaming up. Currently without an official title, Wolverine 3 is set for a release on March 3, 2017 with James Mangold directing once again.
I knew those comments were complete bs. Look Hugh Jackman can talk all he wants to about wanting to play Wolverine til he dies, but I've known for a long time that this would be his last film. The comments he made were in a sarcastic tone that got taken seriously. I would love for Jackman to keep playing the character, but we all know he can't. I'm excited to see on the big screen as Wolverine again in both X-Men: Apocalypse and in The Wolverine 3.
There’s a lot of excitement building for Denzel Washington’s third movie with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, a remake of the Western The Magnificent Seven, which reunites him with Training Day‘s Oscar-nominated supporting actor Ethan Hawke, joined by Chris Pratt and the recently-announced Vincent D’Onofrio. The movie hasn’t started filming yet, but Sony has already set their sights on a release date according to ERC Box Office, and the plan is to release it on MLK Jr. weekend, January 13, 2017. This would have it being released on the same weekend as Denzel’s hit action-thriller The Book of Eli, directed by the Hughes Brothers, which opened with $38 million over the four-day holiday on its way to $94.8 million. It was one of Denzel’s biggest openings at the time, following Ridley Scott’s American Gangster, although he has gone on to have other similar hits with Safe House and last year’s Fuqua-directed The Equalizer, which grossed more than $100 million after opening in September. Since only four male actors have been announced for the movie, we have to assume we’ll hear who will play the other three Magnificent 7 sometime before the movie starts shooting in Louisiana in mid-May. The original 1960 movie, a remake itself of the Akira Kurosawa samurai film Seven Samurai, starred Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn and Eli Wallach.
This is a really interesting release date. I say that because I figured it would come out around September that way it could try to get Oscar exposure and I still might, but I highly doubt it. The cast for the film so far is pretty fantastic and there is still more to be done. I love the original film and I'm really looking forward to this remake.
