Ahead of Release, MAJOR X #1 Sells out and Returns For Second Printing

Posted on by

Industry great Rob Liefeld holds a significant place in Marvel history thanks to his creations of iconic X-Men characters like Cable and Deadpool – and in his upcoming new series MAJOR X, Liefeld creates his first new Marvel character in three decades, introducing a new force into the X-Men universe.

“He hails from another existence, which is called the ‘X-istence’ — a mutant Shangri-La, a safe haven that has been a realm where mutantkind has lived in peace and harmony,” Liefeld teased to EW of the new character in a recent interview. “There are some familiar faces that he has forged this other society with. But then a terrible event happens within the X-istence that causes Major X to cross over and land in the Marvel Universe that we know.”

Buzz among critics and fans alike is already high in anticipation for Liefeld’s return to the X-Men, and Marvel is excited to announce that ahead of its launch on April 3rd, MAJOR X has already sold out and will return to comic shops for a second printing.

Season 1 of HANNA to launch on Amazon Prime Video

Posted on by

Season 1 of HANNA will launch on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, March 29, 2019.

Starring Esmé Creed-Miles, Joel Kinnaman, Mireille Enos, the action drama web television series is an official selection at 2019 Berlin International Film Festival.

Based on the 2011 film, HANNA’s eight-episode first season was written and produced by David Farr (The Night Manager), who co-wrote the original feature. Director Sarah Adina Smith (Legion, Room 104) helmed episodes one and two of the series, which filmed entirely on-location in Hungary, Slovakia, Morocco, Spain and the U.K.

In her breakout role for television, British actress Esme Creed-Miles stars as Hanna alongside Joel Kinnaman (Altered Carbon, Suicide Squad, Robocop) and Mireille Enos (The Catch, Prime Video’s Good Omens), who reunite on-screen after co-starring in AMC’s Emmy-nominated crime drama The Killing.

Here’s the official synopsis for Hanna:
Raised in total seclusion in the remote woods of Eastern Europe, Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) has spent her entire young life training to fight those who hunt her and her mercenary father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman). Her survivalist skills are finally tested when she and Erik are separated upon their discovery by a rogue CIA operative, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) and her team of agents. Hanna has no choice but to embark on a perilous journey alone across Europe as she seeks to reunite with her father and evade – and ultimately take down – the dangerous agents who target them. Hanna’s isolated upbringing offers particularly daunting physical and emotional challenges as she is forced to navigate an ever-deepening conspiracy – one that could be the undoing of both her and her father.

“White Chamber ” Release Date and Trailer Debut Announced

Posted on by

Dark Sky Films announces the releases date and trailer debut for “White Chamber”, which stars Shauna MacDonald and Oded Fehr Star.

The film is set for release in select theaters and on VOD on March 29, 2019

The United Kingdom in the near future. Civil war rages, and martial law has been declared by a military government hellbent on squashing the opposition. A woman (Scottish BAFTA nominee Shauna MacDonald, The Descent) wakes up in a blindingly white cuboid cell, where General Zakarian (Oded Fehr) uses increasingly sophisticated and cruel methods to torture her for information – information she claims not to have. As questions of trust are placed both on captor and captive, they find themselves embroiled in an increasingly spiraling journey into the nature of authority.

“White Chamber” poses the question: can there even be such a thing as certainty in these most uncertain of times?
