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)
Before Sony and Marvel Studios reached a deal about Spider-Man earlier this year, the company was still developing a number of titles for their franchise. The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was on the docket along with a Venom solo film, a female-led spin-off, and a Sinister Six movie. The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard was writing and directing the film, which was shelved after the new agreement came around, but speaking with io9, Goddard is hopeful that it could one day happen as part of the Marvel plan. “My vision of that movie was a summer annual. So you didn’t have to worry about continuity. It was just, ‘We take Peter, put him on an adventure, we put him back in his life.’ I intentionally wanted a movie that didn’t have to worry about mythology and continuity. It was important to me to make a movie that could stand on its own. So the good news is, you know, [laughs], it slots in very well to any plan anybody ever wants. We just need to let a couple years go by, I think.” Goddard also went on to praise the Sony/Marvel deal as a fan of the source materiel. “The tricky part about all this is I love this plan. I love that you get to see Spider-Man in Marvel movies. I think that’s a great thing. I’m on board with that decision because as a fan that’s what I want. So who knows what the future holds? This is Hollywood, man, you’ve gotta play the long game.” Tom Holland will star as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, making his cinematic debut in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. He’ll be joined by Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Set to be directed by Jon Watts, the solo Spider-Man movie will be written by Vacation writers and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. The film will swing into theaters on July 28, 2017.
These are pretty interesting comments. Out of everyone who was left in the shuffle after the semi Sony/Marvel merger was Drew Goddard who is an amazing talent and I would put him on any project if I was a studiohead. I think that this film may happen if the film Suicide Squad is successful because it will show that these types of films can work.I think the Sinister Six could be a great film simply because besides Batman, Spider-Man has the biggest gallery of villains and it would be great to see them all on-screen together against Spider-Man just like the comments.
Rovio and Sony Pictures have revealed the first trailer for The Angry Birds Movie, featuring our first look at the battle between the colorful feathered friends and villainous green pig antagonists of the animated feature. You can check out The Angry Birds Movie trailer below. The main trio of Angry Birds will be led by Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses, We’re the Millers) as Red, a bird with a temper, with Josh Gad (Frozen) as the speedy Chuck, and Danny McBride (This is the End, “Eastbound & Down”) voicing the volatile Bomb. Supporting them are Bill Hader (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) as a pig, Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) as Matilda, and Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) as the Mighty Eagle. Also lending their voices to the video game adaptation are Keegan-Michael Key (“Key & Peele”), Kate McKinnon (“SNL”), Tony Hale (“Arrested Development”), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors), Hannibal Buress (“Broad City”), Cristela Alonzo (“Cristela”), Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street), Danielle Brooks (“Orange is the New Black”), singer Romeo Santos and YouTube stars Smosh (Ian Andrew Hecox and Anthony Padilla). “The question Rovio gets more than anything is ‘Why are these birds so angry?’” producer John Cohen (Despicable Me) said previously. “This is the origin story for how that conflict came to exist between birds and little green piggies.” In its various formats, the “Angry Birds” game has been downloaded over two billion times as of this year, with an animated series “Angry Birds Toons” that has collectively tallied three-billion views on numerous platforms. Written by “The Simpsons” alum Jon Vitti and directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis, The Angry Birds Movie is set to debut in the US on July 1, 2016.
This was actually a really funny trailer. When I first heard about this film I rolled my eyes becasue I thought it was a really stupid idea, but after seeing The Lego Movie I was actually giving this film some hope and now the trailer is reconfirming that hope. Now the film could still be terrible, but I think that the voice cast in the film is funny enough and the popularity of the game will make the film successful even if it is a bad movie.
Sony Pictures Classics (via Yahoo!) has revealed the first trailer and poster for Truth, the directorial debut by noted screenwriter James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man) starring Oscar winners Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine, Carol) and Robert Redford (All is Lost, Captain America: The Winter Soldier). You can check out the Truth trailer below. The drama, based on Mary Mapes’ novel “Truth and Duty,” centers around the “Rathergate” created when the award-winning CBS News journalist Dan Rather (played by Redford) and Mapes, his producer (played by Blanchett), broke the story about U.S. President George W. Bush going AWOL from the National Guard for a year during the Vietnam War on 60 Minutes, shortly before the 2004 Presidential election. When it was discovered that they hadn’t properly authenticated the documents (which were forgeries), the ensuing scandal nearly took down CBS News, ruining Rather’s career and credibility in the process. Truth co-stars Topher Grace, Elisabeth Moss and Dennis Quaid, and will receive a limited release in New York and L.A. on October 16 before expanding nationwide later.
This was a really intense trailer. From the moment I heard about the film I was immediately excited because this was going to be a film that a lot of people want to see because of the topic it is about. Robert Redford looks and sounds spot on as Dan Rather and while I wasn't considering him on the radar for an Oscar nomination, I think now seeing the trailer puts him into that conversation without a doubt along with his co-star Cate Blanchett. The film looks amazing and I cannot wait to see it.
Walt Disney Animation Studios (via Yahoo!) has debuted the new poster for their animated feature Zootopia featuring another look at pop star Shakira’s character Gazelle. You can check out the Zootopia poster below. The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. The comedy-adventure is directed by Byron Howard (Tangled, Bolt) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph, “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”). Zootopia opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.
This is a pretty great poster. It fits into the movie and that's all I really ask a poster to do and also as long as it is original and this one is to a point. This was a movie that kind of interested me to a point because I love animals, but to be fair it's a story we've seen before just not with the technology we have this day in age. I think this film being made Disney helps becasue it is a film that I think both parents and kids will enjoy together and plus it will be a nice birthday present as it comes out one my birthday. The trailers have really got me excited to see the film and I'm looking forward to my birthday even more.
20th Century Fox has just released a new poster for their upcoming live-action and CGI hybrid, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip. You can check out The Road Chip poster below. This time around, after a series of misunderstandings, Alvin, Simon and Theodore come to believe that Dave is going to propose to his new girlfriend in New York City… and dump them. They have three days to get to him and stop the proposal, saving themselves from losing Dave. Scripted by Mrs. Doubtfire screenwriter Randi Mayem Singer and directed by Walt Becker, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip stars Jason Lee (Mallrats, “My Name Is Earl”) as Dave Seville and will again feature the voices of Justin Long (Tusk, Drag Me To Hell), Matthew Gray Gubler (“Criminal Minds,” (500) Days of Summer) and Jesse McCartney (“Army Wives,” “Young Justice”) as the headlining chipmunks. Combined, the three previous movies, which started with 2007’s Alvin and the Chipmunks, have grossed over $560 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide, although the last movie grossed $100 million less in North America than the previous two movies. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip hits theaters on December 23.
To be really honest I hate this poster so much. Look I'm a fan of the old Chipmunks cartoons and the songs around Christmas time, but the movies have true disappointments and have been absolutely terrible. They have made a lot of money despite having very terrible reviews and I feel like this film will do the same and I believe that mainly because of the Christmas release date. I can't really get excited for the film and I probably won't enjoy it, but I hope everyone else does.
