Atomic Blonde New Trailer Delivers Some Fierce Remix

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Yes, the coolest music video this week comes in the form of a movie trailer, that of Charlize Theron’s new action thriller Atomic Blonde. From that cool mash-up of Kanye’s “Black Skinhead” and Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus”, to a remix of the Eurythmics’s “Sweet Dreams”, and some help from New Order, the trailer’s music captures the intensity of its impressive fight scenes.

After playing Imperator Furiosa in the George Miller masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road, we now see Theron back for more butt-kicking action, this time on a spy mission while looking sassy in a pair of stilettos. Following Mad Max and this weekend’s The Fate of the Furious, it seems that Theron is in a good place establishing herself as an action star.

Based on Antony Johnston’s 2012 graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde is an action spy thriller set in Berlin’s world of espionage underworld, centering on the eve of the collapse of Berlin Wall. The story follows Theron’s Lorraine Broughton on a mission “to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies”.

Directed by David Leitch (John Wick), and written by Kurt Johnstad (300), the movie also star James McAvoy, John Goodman, Toby Jones and Sofia Boutella. The film made a big splash at South by Southwest back in March and will open nationwide on July 28.

By AI Creative Media

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.

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.

Carrie Fisher passed away after her work on Star Wars: Episode XIII as Princess Leia. Now Fisher’s brother Todd Fisher, confirmed to NY Daily News that she will be in the last trilogy film as well, and without use of CG. According to the article, Todd and Billie Lourd, Carrie’s daughter, granted permission to use recent footage of the actress.

“Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don’t,” Fisher said. “She’s as much a part of it as anything and I think her presence now is even more powerful than it was, like Obi Wan — when the saber cuts him down he becomes more powerful. I feel like that’s what’s happened with Carrie. I think the legacy should continue.

Lucasfilm confirmed early this year after Fisher’s passing that the studio will not wouldn’t recreate her digital version, a statement it confirmed on Star War’s official website. “We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.”

Batgirl is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. But even with the surge of superhero movies and extended cinematic universes she never got her own movie. Joss Whedon plans to remedy this. According to Variety , Whedon is “nearing a deal to write, direct and produce” a Batgirl movie as part of DC’s Extended Universe.

Whedon is best known for creating the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as the highly successful The Avengers and 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movies for Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is also the creator of the highly successful tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As such, this is a big move for Whedon, the studio, and potentially DC’s cinematic universe, which has been on a path of darker superhero adaptations since Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Last year, Whedon explained his search of new challenges after working on Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. for years.

This will mark the the second female-led superhero film from DC after Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman’, which opens this summer June 2. There is not a lot of information on the project, nor casting information and production date, but per Variety source will “feature other characters from the world of Gotham.” Long Live Whedon!
