We finally have a glimpse of how Josh Brolin’s Cable will look like at next summer’s Deadpool 2 as Ryan Reynolds premiered two photos of the character today.

Fans of the character should be relieved that Cable’s intense look in the tweets is pretty faithful to the comics. Of the two images released, the close up photo (below) shows a closer look at the three scars over Cable’s eyes. The second image shows full body shot of the character while carrying plenty of ammunition.

“We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future. #PremiumCABLE #JoshBrolin,” Reynolds hilariously tweeted. Then added, “DeadPool 2: Your premium #Cable provider. #DeadPool2.”

Brolin is clearly enjoying this process and has been sharing plenty of Cable related images. A few months ago, the actor posted a photo of is entire head coated in blue gunk in preparation for production of cast to be used for special effects, then a month later posted another where he appears to be working out at the gym.

In the comics, Cable is a time travelling soldier, and the biological son of X-Men’s Cyclops and Jean Grey. He grew up as a warrior in the future where he was transported to as an infant, and then later returned to the present.

Directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde), and written by the original film’s screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Deadpool 2 will hit theaters on June 1, 2018.

A. A. Milne finds his inspiration through his young son Christopher Robin Milne for his fictional anthropomorphic teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh in the new trailer of Fox Searchlight’s “Goodbye Christopher Robin”.

Directed by Simon Curtis of My Week With Marilyn, “Goodbye Christopher Robin” stars
Domhnall Gleeson as the man who created the teddy bear character A. A. Milne, while Will Tilston is his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh. “I’d really like if you wrote a book for me. I’d definitely read it,” Christopher Robin says in the trailer.

Also in the film are Margot Robbie as A. A. Milne’s wife Daphne de Sélincourt, Kelly Macdonald as Christopher Robin’s nanny Olive, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Mary Brown, and Alex Lawther as the older Christopher Robin.

The film shows the origin of the Pooh Bear from an author who was coping with his post-traumatic stress following his return from World War I. After the war there was so much sadness. Then ‘Winnie the Pooh’ came along,” says Ribin’s nanny Olive.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:
GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children’s author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin (Will TIlston), whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

“Goodbye Christopher Robin” will be in select theaters on October 13th, 2017, with expansions planned in the succeeding weeks.

YouTube Red outbid streaming giants Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and AMC for the series. On Friday, Susanne Daniels, global head of content for YouTube also announced that the company is ““targeting an 18-49 audience”, indicating the company’s expansion beyond its millennial core users and its growing focus for original content.

The series will reunite original stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka and will be set 30 years after the events of the 1984 “The Karate Kid”. That film launched the career of Macchio, who played the lead Daniel LaRusso in two more sequels until the series was revamped in 1994. Zabka appeared in the original as Johnny Lawrence, the main antagonist to the title character.

Macchio and Zabka will co-executive produce the series along with duo Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who will write the script with Josh Heald. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct most of the series.

Ron Howard Reveals New R2 Unit In “Han Solo”

Ron Howard’s latest tweet introduces us to a new R2 unit in the upcoming untitled “Han Solo” movie. And though it seems the droids aren’t easy to work with, it’s good to know that he’s having a great time. But more importantly, it also appears the production is back on track.

The Academy Award-winning director shared the photo, along with the caption: “These droids can be so damn intractable. But we’ll go until we get it right!”

Clearly the gold and white look is new, but its still early to tell how much work the production is crafting. But this bit of information is enough to get us excited, with actor’s roles, plot points and production info on lockdown.

These robots are a huge part in all of Star Wars films; R2-D2 for example has supported Padmé Amidala, Leia Organa, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in many of their adventures, so this is certainly exciting development for fans.

Ron Howard joined the project last June after original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were reportedly fired due to “creative differences.”

Focusing on the adventures of Han Solo, and stars lden Ehrenreich in the title role, “Han Solo” is currently scheduled for release on May 25, 2018.

20th Century Fox


Ryan Reynolds today shared on twitter a first look of Zazie Beetz as Domino in Deadpool 2.

The image recalls Ryan Reynold’s first photo as Deadpool, with the character lying near a fireplace, only here Domino is lying on a deflated Deadpool suit instead of a bear rug. “Some people just know how to work a red carpet,” Reynolds tweeted along with the photo.

This makes it a parody of a parody, as Ryan Reynolds’ original photo itself is a hilarious nod to a famous 1972 Cosmopolitan photo of Reynolds…Burt Reynolds that is.

Domino is a mercenary mutant with the ability to manipulate luck through telekinetics. She is also a member of the mutant team X-Force, and a love interest of Cable, also appearing in the movie as played by Josh Brolin. Well, in case you don’t know, Brolin himself has recently been sharing his epic transformation on Instagram.

Directed by David Leitch, from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Deadpool 2 also stars Morena Baccarin, T. J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand and Jack Kesy.

Deadpool 2 has been filming in Vancouver and is set for release in theater on next year’s summer on June 1st, 2018.

Warner Bros. Pictures


Warner Bros. unveiled a new trailer for “It” during San Diego’s Comic Con last week and now it’s been released for everyone to see.

The new trailer focuses more on the horror and scares which Pennywise The Clown will bring with him. While the last trailer established the cast and an 80s inspired setting, it also provided a good build up to this new creepy trailer, which showcases the very first time that we are hearing the menacing evil clown speak.

The film’s first trailer broke records for most views within its 24-hour period of release, illustrating just how high anticipation is for the film.

In an interesting casting choice, Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård (“Simple Simon, Allegiant, and Hemlock Grove”) plays Pennywise. The film is based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel and directed by Andrés Muschietti from a script by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman.

“It” will be out in theaters on Sept. 8.

Woody Allen’s new film “Wonder Wheel” is set to close 2017 New York Film Festival, where the movie will premiere, this according to an exclusive report from Hollywood Reporter. The film will premiere at Manhattan’s Alice Tully Hall on Saturday, October 14.

The annual film festival, held annually in New York and presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center (FSLC), has been a major departure point for movies seeking early awards notice. Last year, both Manchester By The Sea and Moonlight screened during the festival; both films eventually had successful awards season journey which led to Best Picture noms at the Oscars.

Set in the 1950s, Wonder Wheel stars Kate Winslet who leads an ensemble cast which includes Juno Temple, Justin Timberlake and James Belushi. Allen also wrote the original script. Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) shot the film.

Allen’s movie is also in the news for another reason: “Wonder Wheel” will be distributed by Amazon, making it the online retail giant’s first solo venture into self-distribution, moving closer into establishing itself a major film studio.

Amazon has previously partnered with Lionsgate and Roadside Attraction in distributing its films, but “Wheel” will be the first movie that it will distribute on its own.

The film will go into limited release December 1.
