Warner Bros. has released the first official trailer for is hotly anticipated “Blade Runner 2049”. The neo-noir sci-fi stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, and directed by Denis Villeneuve who recently directed 2016’s “Arrival”. This being a sequel to 1982’s Ridley Scott classic “Blade Runner”, Harrison Ford is reprising his Rick Deckard character who disappeared 30 years ago.

The intense two minutes trailer debuted Monday at a live event with the two stars and the director. “The first film made me question what it meant to be a human being,” Gosling said of the original film.

Though the trailer did not reveal much of the film’s plot beyond what the studio has already released so far, it is effective nonetheless, evoking many of the original’s grit and beautiful cinematography that is part of it’s appeal.

The film also stars Jared Leto, Sylvia Hoeks, Carla Juri, Barkhad Abdi, and Dave Bautista, and is due for release on October 6.

“Hellboy” Reboot In The Works

David Harbour by Gordon Correll


By Creative Media Times

A new “Hellboy” is currently in development, but this time, without director Guillermo del Toro, who directed the first two movies. According to Variety, Neil Marshall of “Game of Thrones” is attached to take over directing duties, while “David Harbour” is in talks to star.

This news might not be a complete surprise to some. In an interview with Screen Rant last year, Ron Perlman, who originally played the character, admitted that making Hellboy 3 is unlikely to happen, or at least not with him on it.

The first ‘Hellboy’ came out in 2004 to minor boxoffice success but developed a strong cult following. The success of Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” a couple of years later provided the director enough influence to push forward the production of a sequel in 2008, “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, which was a slight financial improvement.

‘Hellboy’ is based on the graphic novels of the same name by writer/artist Mike Mignola who also broke the news in his facebook site. In the film, the character is a well-meaning demon superhero brought into this world by Nazis who want to unleash the “Seven Gods of Chaos” but raised to became a superhero to do battle with supernatural enemies.

David Harbour is the current lead character Police Chief Jim Hopper in the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ which recently won TV Show of the Year at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Intense Official Trailer For Nolan’s ‘Dunkirk’

Posted on by

Warner Bros.

By Creative Media Times

The official trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” was released by Warner Bros. on Friday and it is both harrowing and epic. Written and directed by Nolan, the movie concerns the mass rescue and evacuation of allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, France during World War II, where they were stranded and surrounded by the German army.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred to the events in France “a colossal military disaster”. This line can be heard narrating the opening scenes, and quickly followed by ticking of the clock as we watch the allied troops under duress on land, air and sea.

The trailer is haunting, beautifully shot, and captured the intensity and chaos in Dunkirk. This all reminds us that the acclaimed filmmaker is not slowing down on making such large scale epic films, and that can only be a good thing. Nolan has put his heart and soul into this: in addition to his star-studded cast, he’s recruited 6,000 extras for the film. IMAX cameras were also hand-held by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema for long durations, a painful yet pioneering practice on a feature film.

Dunkirk hits theaters July 21, similar to Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ and ‘Inception,’ which were both released in July.

It goes without saying that anticipation is very high on ‘Blade Runner 2049’: the original Ridley Scott 1982 classic neo-noir ‘Blade Runner’ has developed a cult following over the decades. Though that movie initially received mixed reactions when it was released, time has been kind to the movie and has since evolved into a landmark film, frequently appearing in all-time best sci-fi ever lists. Today, we finally get our first teaser posters courtesy of the film’s Twitter site.

The two posters very clear shows the contrast between the two characters: Officer K (Ryan Gosling) and Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), one is set in hot color tone with Deckard looking rugged, the other stylishly avant garde and cold. However, both are fittingly mysterious and gloomy. ‘Blade Runner 2049’ is a sequel, and is supposed to take place 30 years after Scott’s original film.

Details about the film is closely-guarded for now, but it looks like the studio is ramping up the promo. It was announced on the movie’s Twitter site that there will be a live Q&A with Gosling, Ford and director Denis Villeneuve this coming Monday, 5/8 at 9AM PT!

Also starring Dave Bautista, Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, and Lennie James. Blade Runner 2049 is set for release October 6, 2017.

Dark Tower’ Trailer Is Finally Here

By Creative Media Times

I do not kill with my gun…I kill with my heart.” ― Stephen King, The Gunslinger

One of the year’s most ambitious adaptations, Sony’s “The Dark Tower” finally got a trailer. Expectations are high on this one: the first of the eight-book saga from which the movie is based on began in 1983 with The Gunslinger, nearly a 35-year wait for fans. From what we have seen so far, its all worth it.

The overarching ideas of the books are there on the trailer, while also keeping some of King’s trademark elements; the discovery of another dimension, the lone gunslinger in a quest to reach the tower, and the vicious sorcerer aka The Man in Black on the chase. And similar to the trailer for King’s other big adaption this year, ‘It’, we find a boy lead us again into a world of mystery and epic journey.

The trailer look busy and broad; as one should expect there is no way to condense King’s series of novels on a 3-minute trailer so fans should keep their expectations in check. It does help to be aware that the movie is not a faithful adaptation but another take on the stories which King crafted over the years.

“The Dark Tower” stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Taylor, as Roland Deschain/Gunslinger, Walter/The Man in Black, and Jake Chambers respectively. Directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel, the movie also stars Abbey Lee, Katheryn Winnick, Fran Kranz, Claudia Kim and Jackie Earle Haley. The movie is coming to theaters on August 4, 2017.

Paul McGuigan Eyed To Direct “Bond 25”

Paul McGuigan By Anthony Citrano


There has been a lot of conversations about the future of ‘Bond 25’ lately. A few weeks ago, five Hollywood studios were tied in a bidding war over distribution rights to James Bond. This comes after Sony’s contract to distribute and market Bond films expired with 2015’s ‘Spectre’. Some of the studios vying in this interesting bidding war includes Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Annapurna Pictures.

Now, IndieWire is reporting that ‘Lucky Number Slevin’ director Paul McGuigan might be headed for the next’s Bond’s directing gig. It is still not confirmed whether Daniel Craig is returning for the role, but Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are apparently working on a script. So it’s only natural for the hunt for a director to begin.

Based on the article, it seems that producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are impressed with McGuigan’s work on ‘Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool’ that they become interested to put him in consideration. Broccoli is the head of Eon Productions which produced ‘Liverpool’ (starring Jamie Bell and Annette Bening).

McGuigan is an interesting choice, as we have not seen him helm a movie the scale of a cultural phenomenon that is Bond. Which makes the release of ‘Liverpool’ all the more intriguing. Besides, all these might eventually be decided on how the aforementioned studio bidding war will unfold. It is at least good to hear that we are hearing some activity on ‘Bond 25’ once again.

Ridley Scott Says Alien 5 Will Never Happen

Just weeks before Alien: Covenant opens nationwide, Ridley Scott puts to rest any hopes and speculations about the possibility of ‘Alien 5’ becoming a reality.

This speculation has been around for a couple of years since ‘District 9’ director Neill Blomkamp posted a concept art on Instagram, and was later followed by Sigourney Weaver (who worked with Blomkamp in ‘Chappi’) expressing interest in doing the movie.

But with production of ‘Covenant’ sequel already underway, currently titled ‘Awakening’, it looks like Scott will be getting busy piloting the Alien franchise. Scott of course directed the original 1979 Alien film and was followed by three sequels by James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet successively.

Here’s portion of Scott’s statement regarding ‘Alien 5’ (translated by AVP Galaxy):

“Ridley Scott, who was in Paris for the promotion of the new opus of the saga, was even more definitive in our microphone: “I think he will never see the light,” he replied after explaining That the project was far less advanced than previously thought. “There was never a scenario, just an idea that evolved into a pitch of ten pages, I had to participate as a producer but it did not go any further because the Fox decided that She did not want to do it. I had already done Prometheus and worked on Covenant.”

But there will be plenty of ‘Alien’ movies in the pipeline for fans, starting with this summers’ Alien: Covenant. Starring Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, the movie opens in theaters on May 19.

Hugh Jackman might have ended his portrayal of the character but ‘Logan’ will be returning in theaters, at least for one day.

James Mangold’s final Wolverine solo film will be back in cinemas soon, this time in black and white which should please the movie’s most ardent fans. Director Mangold made the announcement on Twitter, including its date which is May 16th, a week before its home media release on May 23. There is not a lot of information out there as to location and theater count, but we’ll surely hear more about this soon. Back in March, Mangold confirmed the black and white version with a rather cryptic Twitter post that he was indeed “workin’ on it”.

Warner Bros.

This isn’t the first time a gritty action film from a major studio is getting a black and white treatment. Some might remember that in 2016, George Miller’s masterpiece ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ was released in black and white on Blu-ray. Dubbed “Black and Chrome Edition”, the version will receive a one-night-only theatrical showing in England this Sunday, though Miller has been talking about his intention since the film’s release back in 2015. It surely helped that the movie was critical hit and received numerous awards.

Similarly, ‘Logan’ was critical and commercial hit. On top of being the best reviewed ‘X-Men’ film, it is one of the highest grossing films this year, $604 million worldwide to date.
