By AI Creative Media

DC and WB is calling fanboys to unite in the movie’s bold new poster, released by the studio via Twitter (below). The posters shows the ‘JL’ insignia which seems to combine multiple materials, with a flaming star at the center. The one sheet doesn’t say much other than ‘UNITE’ which is most likely Batman’s call to action.

The poster teases the upcoming team up of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), as well as Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) returning from last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Trailer is just around the corner, Saturday March 25 to be precise, gearing up for the movie’s promo.

Justice League hits theaters on November 17, 2017, while The Batman sometime in 2018.

Updated: Well it looks like a busy day for DC, as new character posters also revealed today featuring Flash, Batman and Aquaman via @JusticeLeagueUK on Twitter. See images below!

The Dark Tower reveals first poster

“There are other worlds than these,” a quote from the Stephen King books as it appears on the poster of The Dark Tower, the long-awaited film adaptation that will arrive in theaters this summer.

The one-sheet was revealed by King himself on Twitter (below), along with a short message: “Pilgrim, there are other worlds than these. Come with us on the adventure.” Shortly after, Matthew McConaughey, who plays the antagonist Walter Padick, posted his own tweet, “Flip your phone to see what I see.”

Indeed, the striking poster shows Roland the Gunslinger (Idris Elba) and the boy adventurer Jake (Tom Taylor) at the bottom, and when flipped upside-down shows McConaughey’s dark sorcerer Walter, also known as The Man In Black. It is a clever concept, especially if you notice how The Tower itself appears as a negative space silhouette created by the inverted Manhattan skyscrapers and is piercing into the pavement.

It is an intriguing image worthy of the high anticipation the movie carries since multiple development phases started in 2007. J.J. Abrams and Ron Howard were attached during some of these phases before it landed on Danish filmmaker and screenwriter Nikolaj Arcel.

“The Dark Tower” also stars Abbey Lee, Katheryn Winnick, Fran Kranz, Claudia Kim and Jackie Earle Haley, and is set to arrive July 28.

Henry Cavill is joining Tom Cruise and team in the upcoming installment of the long-running spy series Mission:Impossible. Cavill, best known as Superman in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movies, will be joining returning cast Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson and Jeremy Renner.

The sixth installment of the highly successful series will be helmed by Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation directory Christopher McQuarrie, who has become Cruise’s reliable go-to guy in recent years.

The casting and announcement happened on Instagram with Cavill and McQuarrie responding to each other’s posts about working together, although the deal was most likely done prior to this and they might just be having a laugh at out expense. McQuarrie posted: “Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you’re interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure.” Cavill then replied: “How can I say no to a man with such perfect hair.”

Cruise and McQuarrie are producers of the Mission: Impossible 6, alongside Don Granger, J.J. Abrams and Skydance Production’s David Ellison and Dana Goldberg.

Meanwhile, back at the DCCU, Cavill seem to be teasing about Green Lantern’s cameo appearance in November’s Justice League. The actor posted an image of himself in instagram, adding:

“Just working towards improvement by pushing hard enough to elicit change. Nothing funny to post here, it’s deadly serious because I’ve got to make sure that I’m bigger than Green Lantern….Wait whaaat?”

Mission: Impossible 6 opens in theaters July 27, 2018.

‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ gets sequel and new cast

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

After years of speculation, the  long-gestating sequel to David Fincher’s 2011 thriller ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ is finally back on track.

The sequel, ‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’ will be directed by Fede Alverez, the man behind last year’s surprise horror-thriller hit ‘Don’t Breathe’, a modestly budgeted horror-thriller that was critically well-reviewed and grossed over $157 million. The movie will debut in theaters on Oct. 5, 2018. The announcement was made at the London Book Fair during a celebration for the fifth Millennium book launch.

“I’m hugely excited and grateful for this opportunity,” Alvarez said. “Sony has become family to me and I can’t think of a more thrilling project to celebrate our relationship. Lisbeth Salander is the kind of character any director dreams of bringing to life. We’ve got a great script and now comes the most fun part – finding our Lisbeth.”

The sequel’s road to fruition was not an easy path. ‘Dragon’ sequel ‘The Girl Who Played Fire’ was originally intended for a 2013 release but was later delayed as ‘Dragon Tattoo’ writer Steve Zaillian was “still working on the script”, then later, Hollywood Reporter reported neither Rooney Mara (who played the series’ lead character) nor Daniel Craig will be back, and that Sony was planning on a franchise reboot instead, with Steven Knight (Burnt) in talks about an adaptation right after ‘Web’ was published.

Based on the Millennium book series created by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson, The Girl in the Spider’s Web book was written by David Lagercrantz after Larsson’s death, and is the fourth novel in the series.

Book Review: Dead Letters by Caite Dolan-Leach

Dead Letters by Caite Dolan-Leach

By Elizabeth Walker

There’s something just fascinating about twins. While more common than they used to be, thanks to advances in modern fertility treatments, twins – particularly identical twins – continue to captivate the mind. Dead Letters by Caite Dolan-Leach is engrossing not only for its portrayal of its monozygotic heroines but also for the deliberate unraveling of their shared history.

The reader first encounters Ava Antipova flying back from Paris to her childhood home, a vineyard in upstate New York. She has come back to make arrangements after her twin sister, Zelda, has been reported dead in a barn fire. While Ava goes through the emotionally draining motions of organizing the funeral, talking to the police, and tending to her aging mother, she finds herself doubting the story of her estranged sister’s demise. Her suspicions are confirmed when she begins receiving emails from Zelda from beyond the grave.

New ‘Baby Driver’ Trailer

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Cult director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) is back with his much-anticipated stylish new film called “Baby Driver”, and it looks like his most ambitious movie yet. The trailer shows plenty of excellently choreographed car chases and rollicking musical soundtrack, as title character “Baby” Ansel Elgort (who starred in last three Divergent Series films, and ‘The Fault in Our Stars’) tries to get out of criminal life from Kevin Spacey’s character ‘Doc’.

A few years ago, director Wright was attached to a would-be summer Marvel blockbuster Ant-Man, but later dropped out due to “creative differences”. A few months later, he announced that ‘Baby’ will be his next film instead, which he will both write and direct. Today we get a glimpse of the fruits of his labor.

The movie had its world premiere at South by Southwest, and so far it has been getting strong reviews, with HR calling it “a sweet and speed-crazed crime film you can dance to.”

Here’s a film synopsis to give you a better idea: Talented getaway driver Baby (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. After meeting the woman (Lily James) of his dreams, he sees a chance to ditch his criminal lifestyle and make a clean break. Coerced into working for a mob boss (Kevin Spacey), Baby must face the music as a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.

Baby Driver, which also stars Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Eiza González, rides into theaters on August 11th, 2017.

‘Green Day’ Brings Raucus Fun At BOK Center Leg Of Tour

Posted on by

Green Day @ BOK Center, Tulsa, OK, March 3, 2017

By Armando

It has been 12 years since Green Day’s politically-charged “American Idiot”, an album that spawned iconic songs, won numerous awards, inspired a broadway show, and became a worldwide phenomenon. But the message of their music is as relevant as ever.

“No racism, no fascism, and no homophobia,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong protested to loud and wild crowd at BOK Center in Tulsa, OK, Tuesday night.

Green Day, which consists of Billie Joe Armstrong (Vocals/Guitar), Mike Dirnt (Bass) and Tre Cool (Drummer), is in an interesting position in today’s punk rock scene: the trio have produced a broad catalog of hits and lesser known gems over their three-decade career that speaks and adapts to political changes. On Tuesday night, Green Day mixed politics and religion, “comedy and tragedy”, old and new materials, leaving the crowd rocking, inspired and just having a great fun time. The band reciprocated Tulsa fans’ enthusiasm with an exciting and memorable night, proving they are still one of the best live acts right now.

Green Day @ BOK Center, Tulsa, OK, March 3, 2017

The band’s career-spanning set was a varied and wide-ranging collection, performing songs from major label debut, Dookie that delighted original Green Day fans, to hits from ‘Idiot’, as well as new songs from ‘Revolution Radio’ and a few surprises in between. The tour is in support of ‘Revolution’, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 Album chart when it was released in early October last year.

Gigi Hadid, Appropriation or Progress?

Posted on by

By: Andrew Van Wilpe

The American fashion model, Gigi Hadid has come under some scrutiny, in recent days, following the release of the cover of Vogue Arabia’s first edition. In the black and white cover photo, the model sported a beaded veil, bare shouldered. Inside the magazine there is another photo of Gigi dressed in a more traditional looking, hot pink and fuchsia hijab.

Although, Gigi is of Palestinian decent, coming from her father’s side, she is not of the Muslim faith. The critics accuse this 21-year-old model and Vogue of religious appropriation. Her critics are upset because they believe Gigi and Vogue are glamourizing something that other women are criticized for. One critic tweeted, “So Gigi is getting praised for wearing a Hijab bc “fashion” while women who actually wear Hijab are attacked, shamed, and threatened?”

The question from most of the critics is, “why Vogue did not choose an actual Muslim model for this cover?” It seems the issue is more about representation. Critics believe Vogue should have used a Muslim model if they wanted to avoid this controversy and wanted to promote inclusion.
