Keanu is back, this time on a horse in the streets of New York in the latest trailer for “John Wick 3: Parabellum,” the third and final installment in the hugely successful John Wick film series which started in 2014.

The trailer is a stirring combo of non-stop action set to Andy Williams’ version of the classic song “The Impossible Dream (The Quest).” The film picks up where the Chapter 2’s cliffhanger ending left off: legendary hitman Wick is still on the run, expelled from from every Continental service after the assassination of another hitman and now with $14 million bounty on his head, everyone’s after him.

Chad Stahelski is back in the director’s chair alongside series screenwriter Derek Kolstad. Also back are

Joining the cast this time around are Anjelica Huston as The Director and protector of John Wick as well as Halle Berry playing another assassin and John Wick’s pal Sofia.

Now slated for a summer release, the series has truly evolved into a summer tentpole from its humble beginnings. In 2014, the first Wick film was a surprise boxoffice hit, grossing $88 million worldwide on a $29 million budget, while the first sequel released nearly two years ago grossed $171.5 million. Critical response to both films were also positive.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is set to arrive in theaters May 17.

“Level 16” Release Date Plus Trailer And Poster Debut

Posted on by

Level 16 will be in theaters and on VOD on March 1, 2019.
In the thematically rich fantasy Level 16, teen-aged Vivien (Emmy-nominated actress Katie Douglas) and Sophia’s (Celina Martin) are locked away in a sterile top secret facility where they’re taught the finer points of “feminine virtues” by Miss Brixil (Sara Canning), a Stepford-like headmistress, and left to question what fate awaits them when they age out of the institution.

Wedding of-the-moment concerns (think The Handmaid’s Tale) to throwback aesthetics (think Joss Whedon’s criminally under-appreciated Dollhouse by way of Argento employing a desaturated palette), writer/director Danishka Esterhazy (Black Field, H&G) crafts a sinister allegory that packs a wicked feminist punch.

Film Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Vivien is trapped in The Vestalis Academy, a prison-like boarding school, keeping to herself and sticking her neck out for no one. Until she is reunited with Sophia — the former friend who betrayed her. Together the girls embark on a dangerous search to uncover the horrifying truth behind their imprisonment. Soon running for their lives, the girls must save themselves or die trying.

“Eastern Promises” Sequel Is Coming?

By Creative Media Times

Focus Features

While Viggo Mortensen is on the headlines recently for his big awards contender film “Green Book,” another one of his critically acclaimed films from a decade ago is getting some attention.

In a recent interview with Collider, English screenwriter Steve Knight offered some insight on “Eastern Promises,” and a potential sequel and it could even commence shooting this year.

“It is like fishing, where you leave it out there,” says Knight. “And it’s been out there for a while. It went through permutations in the sense of, how do you follow Viggo? We’ve been through that and we’ve moved on and now we’re in a position where I will say ‘watch this space,’ we’re close to getting into production.”

Knight wrote the screenplay for Promises, which earned Mortensen a best actor nomination at the academy awards. The film tells a story of a Russian-British midwife Anna (played by Naomi Watts) in a dark maria world with Mortensen playing a fearsome Russian gangster. Remember that fight scene in a steam room? Of course you do.

Knight recently directed and wrote neo-noir thriller “film Serenity” starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. The film is set for release on January 25, 2019 by Aviron Pictures.
