Lucasfilm Ltd.

Director J.J. Abrams has released the very first trailer “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” during Star Wars Celebration in event in Chicago on Friday, April 12, giving fans the first look of the highly anticipated final entry in the epic saga.

Abrams, who also directed the first installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy The Force Awakens (2015) were in attendance for the announcement, along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and some of the film’s cast Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, and Naomi Ackie.

The trailer shows Daisy Ridley’s character Rey, standing alone in an unknown desert planet, wielding her light saber at an incoming starcraft.

“We’ve passed on all we know,” Luke Skywalker says in the background. “A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight.”

We then see shots of characters new and old including Finn, Poe, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, and of Princess Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher. We also see a poignant shot of what looks like the Medal of Bravery which Leia gave to Luke and Han Solo at the end of “Star Wars: A New Hope.”

Towards the end of the trailer, we see Rey and company, then we hear Luke once again. “We’ll always be with you. No one’s ever really gone,” Luke said. Then, the big surprise at the end, we hear a familiar creepy laugh of Ian McDiarmid’s Emperor Palpatine while the title appears.

In many ways, the trailer is perfect. It offers enough nostalgia, with minimal details but enough glimpses of the characters to whet our appetite until the next trailer arrives.

“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.

Disney has dropped the first official full-length trailer for its upcoming live action film “Lion King”, and it looks like a real winner.

The Jon Favreau directed musical fantasy is a live action remake of the 1994 traditionally animated film of the same name which smashed global boxoffice records.

We also hear Hans Zimmer’s iconic score, which made it all the more thrilling and majestic. Zimmer of course previously scored the 1994 animated version.

In addition to Ejiofor, the film features the voices of Donald Glover as Simba, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, Billy Eichner as Timon, Beyoncé as Nala, and James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

Posted on by

Today, April 10, 2019, is a special date for Blade Runner fans — it’s the exact date of rogue Replicant Leon “Let Me Tell You About My Mother” Kowalski’s inception. (Even casual fans remember Leon as the Nexus-6 synthetic human who shoots the Blade Runner giving him a Voight-Kompff empathy test during the film’s opening sequence inside the imposing Tyrell Corporation double pyramid).

To mark the occasion, Titan Comics and Alcon Entertainment unveils the first covers and further details for Blade Runner 2019 — a brand-new, in canon series set during the exact timeframe of the original Blade Runner film.

In the polluted and rain-drenched neo-noir nightmare that is Los Angeles, 2019, the veteran Blade Runner known as Ash has a new case: a billionaire’s wife and child, both apparently kidnapped by violent Replicants.

Blade Runner 2019 will debut July 17, 2019. The first issue—featuring variant covers by Artgerm, Syd Mead, Andres Guinaldo, and John Royle, among others—is available to pre-order through the upcoming May edition (for July shipping) of Diamond PREVIEWS.

The new Blade Runner 2019 comic series is part of a line of original comics and graphic novels by Titan and Alcon, expanding the canon of this celebrated science-fiction world.

Paramount Pictures

A prequel to the 1978 blockbuster hit musical “Grease” is reportedly in development by Paramount Studios’ division Paramount Players, this according to Hollywood Reporter.

Titled “Summer Nights,” the film will tackle the fling that high school characters Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Olivia Newton John (Sandy Olsson) initially had before their paths crossed during high school senior year.

John August is said to be writing the film’s screenplay. August was responsible for writing Go (1999), Big Fish (2003), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and Frankenweenie (2012).

The 1978 film was a global blockbuster as well as a critical hit, while its soundtrack remains one of the best selling albums of all time, producing hits such as Hopelessly Devoted to You, and You’re the One That I Want.

The film was followed by a sequel in 1982 starring Michelle Pheiffer and Maxwell Caulfield.

WB

After handily topping the boxoffice this weekend, its really no surprise that New Line/DC will be lining up a sequel to Shazam! to its slate. According to The Wrap, writer Henry Gayden is also set to return for the sequel.

The man who helmed the film to critical success, David F. Sandberg, is also expected to return along with its producer Peter Safran.

Shazam grossed $159 million worldwide this weekend on a $90 million budget, and based off the film’s A CinemaScore, many believe the film will continue to play well throughout the coming weeks until Avengers: Endgame arrive at the end of the month.

No plot details have been announce so far, but the way Shazam ended the story as well as a couple of its post-credit scenes should offer some clues.

Shazam is currently playing in theaters. DC’s next film arrives in October, followed by Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman in 2020.

Saban Films

“Beyond the crime, behind the cover-up, lies a deadly truth,” it says on the trailer.

The film features Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as a Copenhagen police officer seeking justice for the murder of his partner by a mysterious man. Guy Pearce is also in the film as a shady CIA agent.

Coster-Waldau has become known lately for playing Jaime Lannister in the hit HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones.

The legendary director De Palma of course gave audiences some great classics such as “Carrie,” “Scarface,” “Dressed to Kill,” “The Untouchables”, and “Mission: Impossible” and his latest seems like another winner.

Here’s what the official synopsis says:
“In a world wracked by terror and suspicion, Copenhagen police officer Christian (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) seeks justice for his partner’s murder by an ISIS member named Imran. On the hunt for the killer, Christian and a fellow cop are unwittingly caught in a cat and mouse chase with a duplicitous CIA agent (Guy Pearce) who is using Imran as a pawn to trap other ISIS members. Soon Christian is racing against the clock — not only seeking revenge, but to save his own life.”

Saban Films is set to release Domino on May 31, 2019.
