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...

Blood-spattered Western The Hateful Eight, the latest film from Academy Award-winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction) has debuted its first trailer. You can watch The Hateful Eight trailer below. The Weinstein Company will release The Hateful Eight in select theaters on December 25, 2015 with an exclusive two-week roadshow opening in 70mm. Following the two-week engagement, the film will open with a digital theatrical release nationwide on January 8, 2016, while continuing to be shown in 70mm as well. The lead cast for The Hateful Eight includes Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern. Written and directed by Tarantino, The Hateful Eight is produced by Richard N. Gladstein, Stacey Sher and Shannon McIntosh. Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein and Georgia Kacandes are executive producing, and Coco Francini and William Paul Clark are associate producing. Spaghetti-western legend Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) is expected to provide an original score. In The Hateful Eight, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all… The Hateful Eight marks a continuation of the long-standing relationship between the celebrated filmmaker and the Weinsteins, who have collaborated on all of Tarantino’s films from Reservoir Dogs through Django Unchained.
This was an awesome trailer. It's no secret that I am a huge Quinton Tarantino fan and I have been looking forward to this film for a long time and after seeing the trailer my excitement is through the roof. The film sort of has a mixture of two other Tarantino films Django Unchained and Reservoir Dogs and if that's the case then this could be his best film yet. This cast is simply amazing and the fact that it will be in 70mm makes this film an Oscar contender and I cannot wait to see it.
On the heels of yesterday’s poster debut, Bleecker Street Films has released, via Fandango, the Trumbo trailer. In the player below, you can take a first look at the upcoming biopic, which stars “Breaking Bad’s” Bryan Cranston as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Directed by Jay Roach (The Campaign, Game Change), Trumbo follows the successful career of the 1940s screenwriter and explores how it all came to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. The film tells the story of Trumbo’s fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper (Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. Trumbo published his first novel, “Eclipse,” in 1935 with his first screenplay, director Louis King’s Road Gang, hitting the big screen the following year. With more than a dozen subsequent credits to his name, Trumbo was the highest paid screenwriter of his day when he was brought before Senator Joseph McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee. Refusing to testify, Trumbo was blacklisted, but continued to write under fake names, winning Academy Awards for both Irving Rapper’s The Brave One and William Wyler’s Roman Holiday. Also set to star are Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Pompeii, Thor: The Dark World), Louis C.K. (“Louie”, American Hustle), Elle Fanning (Super 8, The Boxtrolls), John Goodman (The Big Lebowski, The Monuments Men), Diane Lane (Man of Steel, The Perfect Storm), Alan Tudyk (Serenity, Wreck-It Ralph) and Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man, Men in Black 3), Trumbo hits the big screen in a limited release November 6.
This was a pretty great trailer. As I said yesterday I'm a fan of Bryan Cranston and I'm also a fan of Dalton Trumbo for his film work not his personal life however. I think Bryan Cranston looks the part of Trumbo and from the looks of the trailer I have come to a conclusion that he'll get nominated for an Oscar. I say that because it is a bio-pic and plus the film is coming out in November which has been a prime spot (the same goes for October and December) for actors to really shine in films and this film has everything going for it. The film looks amazing and I can't wait to see how Bryan Cranston does in the role.
Though Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad wants to hurt you really, really bad, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that another version of the character is in town. The outlet reports that comedian Zach Galifianakis is in final negotiations to voice The Joker in the upcoming LEGO Batman movie. Galifianakis joins a cast that includes Will Arnett as the titular Dark Knight and Michael Cera as the boy wonder, Robin. Most noted for his work as a stand-up comedian and his role in “The Hangover” trilogy, Galifianakis has lent his voice to a number of animated series including “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “American Dad,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Tom Goes to the Mayor.” He also co-starred alongside former Batman Michael Keaton in last year’s film Birdman and just wrapped production with Wonder Woman herself on the action-comedy Keeping Up with the Joneses. The LEGO Movie animation supervisor Chris McKay will direct The LEGO Batman Movie, which features a script by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter creator Seth Grahame-Smith. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed The LEGO Movie and are also developing an animated version of Spider-Man for Sony, will produce the film along with Dan Lin. The LEGO Batman Movie will swing into theaters on May 26, 2017.
This is a really great casting choice. I have heard a lot of people complaining about the choice simply because a studio shouldn't get big name actors and to be honest that shouldn't matter as long as you get someone who is willing to do the voice work whether it be a big star or a small star. Zach Galifianakis is one of the funniest actors on the planet and I think that he has the perfect voice for the role of The Joker. This cast is already shaping up to be great and after seeing Batman in The Lego Movie, I'm getting really excited to see the film and I hope it is just as good as The Lego Movie.

I really like this image. I really like the way To m Hiddleston looks in the part and he really does look a lot like Hank Williams Sr.. This film is going to be an interesting one and I'm curious to see how they will tell the story of his life and how far they will go into his life because he did live an interesting life. I think Tom Hiddleston is perfect for the role and I';m anxious to see what is southern accent will sound like being that he is British.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Alcon Entertainment have debuted a new poster for their upcoming Chilean miner movie, The 33, based 2010 disaster and you can check it below. Directed by Patricia Riggen (Girl in Progress, Under the Same Moon), the suspenseful drama stars an international award-winning ensemble cast, including Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche, Mario Casas, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rodrigo Santoro, Gabriel Byrne and James Brolin. The film will be released domestically on November 13. Academy Award nominated producer Mike Medavoy (Black Swan, Shutter Island), who lived in Chile for 10 years, developed the project in cooperation with the miners, their families and rescuers, and produced the film with Robert Katz (Crash, Seabiscuit) and Edward McGurn. The 33 tells the real life story of the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped more than 200 stories underground enduring 100 degrees Fahrenheit beneath a megaton boulder twice the size of the Empire State Building for 69 days following the collapse of the San Jose copper and gold mine. The film, which is a never before seen look at what happened deep inside that mine and chronicles the disaster, the heroic efforts to reach the miners, and the subsequent successful rescue of all 33 men. The film, which was shot in real working mines in Colombia and Chile, recounts some of the emotional personal stories behind the gripping incident and also features several of the real news reporters from around the world who captured the actual event. The rescue became a global broadcast news event that captivated the attention of over 1 billion people worldwide. The 33 miners’ ordeal represents the longest underground survival story in history. Mikko Alanne, Craig Borten (Dallas Buyers Club) and Michael Thomas (The Devil’s Double) penned the script based on the screen story by Jose Rivera and the critically-acclaimed book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar, the former Los Angeles Times bureau chief in Argentina and Mexico. The book has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award.
This is a pretty nice poster. It's nothing we haven't seen before in poster, but this one does give us a close-up of the key actors and a background involving the other miners and looking up at either the hole they were rescued out of or the earth that has collapsed on them. This film is really interesting and do remember both watching the story as it developed and the rescue itself and it has really interested me to see how the miners felt and what they went through over the period of time they were trapped. The film looks really interesting and I can't wait to see it.
