Aquaman has another villain: Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus

Production of Aquaman is full speed ahead and raising the bar on villainous lineup. Right now, that list already includes Black Manta and Orn. And they will now be joined by Nereus, as Hollywood Reporter announced will be played by veteran Swedish action icon Dolph Lundgren. For some reason, this tells me that Lundgren’s recent appearance on Arrow was just a warm-up.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that “Lundgren will play King Nereus of the aquatic kingdom of Xebel, who claims Mera as his own and wants to kill Aquaman.” On Facebook, director James Wan was quick to point out that, “it’s different in my film. But nonetheless, he’ll be an awesome King Nereus, ruler of Xebel.” Whatever the, this raises the stakes yet again for Wan’s already mega-ambitious project.

Lundgren isn’t new to comic book adaptations and superhero films. In 1989, he played the anti-hero Frank Castle in ‘The Punisher’, while before that he portrayed He-Man in the 1987 sci-fi film Masters of the Universe. His role as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV however, remains one of his most iconic roles.

Momoa is playing the title character, while James Wan is sitting in the director’s chair. Willem Dafoe plays Aquaman’s adviser, scientist Dr. Vulko, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta; and Temuera Morrison as Aquaman’s father.

Production is supposed to start on May in Australia and is set to be released in December of 2018.

An Album Review: Pure Comedy by Father John Misty

Posted on by

By Sukhbir Dhillon

Father John Misty’s, also known as John Tillman album released on April 7, 2017, making it his third album in the past five years, yet this album, thematically, takes on on a whole new world of it’s own. Pure Comedy is reflection of Tillman’s perspective on the current state of the world, and by that extension, the album take on darker tones and almost creates a sense of hopelessness in the listener, surely Tillman intended for this.

From the first track-list, also titled Pure Comedy, to the last track, “In Twenty Years or So”, Tillman presents himself as a modern prophet by taking his earlier ideas from songs, like “Bored In The USA”, and building on the concepts of the sedation of the American people by means of media.

Yet even with the ideological difference Pure Comedy takes on, the music that his fans are familiar with is still there, but what truly makes Pure Comedy special is what it achieves beyond the notes. This album is a prophecy from a man who has had enough and it will be interesting to see if his predictions prove to be correct.

Overall, old fans and new fans will be able to enjoy Pure Comedy as much as they allow themselves to.

The first trailer for ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is here, and the god of Thunder is at it again, complete with helmets, chains and flames, minus Thor’s locks and powerful hammer. The new trailer shows Cate Blanchett’s Hela, the Asgardian goddess of death. There’s also a few shots of Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie.

After what transpired in Avengers: Age of Ultron, we see Thor imprisoned without his weapon. But its really at the end part where we see a familiar face, the Hulk in what seem like a gladiator-esque battle with Thor: “He’s a friend from work!”

Here’s the official synopsis from Disney:
Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok — the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization — at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger — the Incredible Hulk!

Directed by Taika Waititi, “Thor: Ragnarok” hits theaters Nov. 3 and also stars Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster. Here it is, Thor: Ragnarok’s first trailer.

Fans who have been longing for the return of the NPR podcast Serial now have something to ease their withdrawals. The new podcast S-Town debuted March 28 and is already creating a buzz.

S-Town is from the same producers as Serial and This American Life. While Serial tried to untangle a single, complicated mystery by releasing one episode each week, S-Town released all seven episodes at once. Many listeners immediately binged.

“S-Town” is short for Shittown, the nickname given to Bibb County, Alabama, by one of its residents, John B. McLemore. “John B.,” as everyone calls him is an eccentric genius who lives with his mother.

Zack Snyder/Vero

Taken during the actor’s screen test for the Superman role, the photo is something of an urban legend: known to fans but none have actually seen it. Until last Thursday, when Man of Steel director Zack Snyder released a black and white photo of Henry Cavill wearing the classic Superman outfit.

Many might not know that Cavill actually auditioned for the role in Reeve’s outfit which had the classic red trunks on the outside. “First test with Henry,” Snyder said. “I knew right away he was my Superman.”

In a 2016 interview with DuJour, Snyder said, “We didn’t have the suit made when Henry was auditioning, so he wore the original Christopher Reeve suit. He put it on and when he came out of the trailer, everyone was like, ‘Dang, you’re Superman!””

Cavill first appeared as Superman in Man of Steel (2013), followed by last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He is expected to be back in Justice League this Nov. 17, though he’ remains hidden away from the movie’s trailers and promos. We’ll find out more in the next few months what Snyder and Cavill is up to.

Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise are back shooting together, as director McQuarrie announces on twitter that production officially starts for Mission: Impossible 6, the new installment in the hugely successful film series. McQuarrie took the reigns in 2015 for “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” which was a critical and commercial success.

“Light the fuse,” McQuarrie posted on social media next to a clapboard from the seat early Saturday morning.

The film also stars returning characters of Rebecca Ferguson (Ilsa Faust) and Alec Baldwin (Alan Hunley) plus new members Vanessa Kirby (“Me Before You”) and Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”), though whatever roles the two will play have been kept under wraps.

As to how exactly McQuarrie is going to top the crazy stunts we saw in “Rogue Nation”, the director recently spoke with Empire and teased: “I may have found something today. I came to Tom with a picture of something and Tom looked at it and said, ‘That’s awesome! I want to fall off of that!’”

Mission: Impossible 6 is scheduled for July 27, 2018 release by Paramount Pictures.
