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)
There’s a major shakeup today on 20th Century Fox’s side of the Marvel Universe as The Wrap is reporting that Channing Tatum has exited the upcoming X-Men spinoff, Gambit. The film was planned to go before cameras in October, although Tatum’s exit now leaves the film’s future uncertain. It was recently announced that Gambit would be directed by Rise of the Planet of the Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt with casting reports coming in as recently as yesterday. Today’s update claims Tatum had been involved with screentests for the fim’s female lead with Blue is the Warmest Color and SPECTRE‘s Lea Seydoux among the actresses reading for the part. With a screenplay by Josh Zetumer (RoboCop), Gambit was to be produced by Tatum and his creative partner Reid Carolin, along with X-Men franchise stewards Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner. It is unclear at this stage whether or not Tatum will remain on board the film as a producer, should Gambit move forward. Currently, Gambit is scheduled for release October 7, 2016, planned to follow X-Men spinoffs Deadpool on February 15 and X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27.
This is really interesting news. Now before anyone gets too out of control, just know that this is rumor and it hasn't been confirmed by Fox. Since it is a rumor however it is looking likely so we'll go based off of that for now. I'm actually a little let down because when Tatum was first announced I got excited because he is becoming an incredible actor and this would've been a different role for him. The film is coming out next October so the studio is either going to have to hurry up with an announcement on a new actor and keep the release date or they'll have to move the film back and with 2017 already being crowded I just don't see it happening. I do however think that with the way the studio brought back Ryan Reynolds for another shot at Deadpool in his own standalone, maybe Fox will try to bring back Taylor Kitsch and give him another shot at the character after the disaster that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Despite some recent rumors that suggested he might instead be headlining Warner Bros. Pictures’ Green Lantern Corps, Star Trek‘s Chris Pine is, according to The Wrap, now fully signed on to star as Steve Trevor in director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. The romantic interest of the titular Amazon (Gal Gadot), Trevor debuted in the comics right alongside Wonder Woman in 1942’s “All Star Comics” #8. Although the character has been rebooted several times over the years, the original version of Trevor was a US soldier whose plane crash lands on Paradise Island, exposing the secret civilization to the world. Gadot is attached to headline Wonder Woman, which will be directed by Monster‘s Patty Jenkins. The character will make her first cinematic appearance, however, in next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. She may even make additional appearances across DC’s new cinematic universe before her solo film sees release on June 23, 2017. It’s pretty much a guarantee, too, that Wonder Woman (and potentially Trevor as well) will play an important role in Justice League Part One, hitting theaters on November 10, 2017.
This isn't surprising news to hear. This was the role that he was originally in the running for before the rumors came out about him possibly playing Hal Jordan. Now that the rumor has been debunked we can begin speculating who the new rumored actor will be. As for Pine playing Steve Trevor I think it is a great idea simply because Pine is such a talented actor and I personally think he'll have great chemistry with Gal Gadot in the standalone Wonder Woman film. A lot remains to be unseen, but for right now WB/DC is making a lot of great casting and directing choices.
The 13 Hours teaser offers a first look at Michael Bay’s latest, hitting theaters January 15, 2016 A red band 13 Hours teaser trailer has just been released and you can check it out below. From director Michael Bay, the true Benghazi tale is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s recently released book, 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. The feature film version, from Paramount Pictures, is set to star Pablo Schreiber, John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, David Denman, Max Martini and Dominic Fumusa and will hit the big screen January 15, 2016. Chuck Hogan (The Town) has adapted the screenplay for the project, which is set up at Paramount Pictures with Erwin Stoff producing.
This wasn't that bad of a trailer. Now look as a lot of you know I am not a fan of Micheal Bay and he honestly hasn't made a good film since The Rock in 1996 (almost 20 years ago) and one constant thing that has been good about Micheal Bay films is the trailers. I mean the trailers for Transformers: Age of Extinction were spectacular and that movie turned out to be one of the biggest piles of crap in cinematic history. Another thing about me not being to confident about the film is that last time Bay directed a film based on a true story (Pain & Gain) he ended up making fun of tragedy where a lot of people died and I feel that this film could be the same way. Another thing is that film is coming out in the worst month for movies (January) and that shows that the studio doesn't have any confidence in the film. The trailer had every single mannerism that Micheal Bay is known for and I just don't know if this film will be any different that his previous films.
Cameras are just about ready to roll on the new, currently-untitled Jason Bourne film that will feature the return of Academy Award-winning actor Matt Damon to the title role with The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum helmer Paul Greengrass back in the director’s chair. Today, Variety brings word that Damon will have a fellow Academy Award winner starring opposite him as Tommy Lee Jones has just signed on for a role. Little is known about the plot of the new film, although it has been confirmed that it will not feature a crossover between Damon’s Bourne and Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross. Julia Stiles will be reprising her franchise role, however, with Ex Machina and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.‘s Alicia Vikander also set to star. Jones recently co-wrote, directed and starred in The Homesman, based on the Glendon Swarthout novel. He’ll next star in the sci-fi tinged action thriller Criminal, starring opposite Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Costner, Alice Eve and Gal Gadot. Although his Bourne 5 role has not yet been revealed, the trade suggests that he’ll be playing a high-ranking CIA officer. Frank Marshall will again produce the new film alongside Jeffrey Weiner for Captivate Entertainment. Greengrass, Damon and Greg Goodman also produce. Production should begin shortly on Bourne 5 as the film is slated to hit the big screen July 29, 2016.
I think this is a great casting choice. Tommy Lee Jones is a Academy Award winning actor and adding him to any film is a great idea. I'm very curious to see what type of role he will play in the film simply because of his age. Tommy Lee Jones is not a young man (he's 68) so there isn't a lot he can do in a film like this. I think him playing a high-ranking CIA official who is after Bourne is reminiscent of his role in The Fugitive which is the film that he won an Oscar for so this could be a push for another one.
Known for the longest time as simply “Jonathan Levin’s untitled Christmas comedy,” The Night Before has just released a Red Band trailer that you can check out below. There’s also a newly-debuted poster for the film, which you can take a look at in the gallery viewer at the bottom of this page. Set for release on November 25, The Night Before stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie, Lizzy Caplan, Jillian Bell, Michael Shannon and Mindy Kaling. From Levine, the director of 50/50 and Warm Bodies, comes the new comedy The Night Before. Ethan (Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Rogen) and Chris (Mackie) have been friends since childhood, and for a decade, their yearly Christmas Eve reunion has been an annual night of debauchery and hilarity. Now that they’re entering adulthood, the tradition is coming to an end, and to make it as memorable as possible, they set out to find the Nutcracka Ball – the Holy Grail of Christmas parties. Featuring a screenplay by Jonathan Levine and Evan Goldberg & Kyle Hunter & Ariel Shaffir, The Night Before is produced by Rogen, Goldberg and James Weaver and executive produced by Nathan Kahane, Joe Drake, Barbara A. Hall, Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir and Ben Waisbren.
This was a really funny trailer. Now it's not as funny as the previous three films mentioned at the beginning, but then again this is just a trailer. I feel like this is going to be just like other Seth Rogen films in the sense that they'll be offensive, but with jokes that will be absolutely hilarious. I'm also digging Anthony Mackie and JGL in this film and this will be a chance to see another side of them in this film. The film will be up against a lot of competition on Thanksgiving, but I still think it will be a hit with audiences.
