‘The Mummy’ new poster has an eye (and double iris) on you

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Already shaping up as one of our most anticipated movies of the summer, Universal releases another poster and teaser trailer for ‘The Mummy’. And it is creepy.

The artwork features a close-up of Princess Ahmanet’s (Sofia Boutella) double iris and what looks like special characters tattooed on her face. It is a simple yet intriguing one-sheet that conveys the film’s elements of terror and ancient civilization which should delight horror fans. This puts Boutellas’ menacing stare, also seen on the first teaser trailer a few months ago, front and center.

Headlined by Tom Cruise, the movie is a reboot of The Mummy franchise and is intended to be the first installment in Universal Monsters shared universe. The series intends to include Invisible Man (supposedly starring Johnny Depp), The Wolf Man, Van Helsing, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Bride of Frankenstein.

A new extended trailer is expected to debut during the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ this Sunday.

Directed by Alex Kurtzman from a script by John Spaihts, the action-adventure horror film also stars Oscar winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Annabelle Wallis (King Arthur), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (The People V. O.J. Simpson).

The film is set to arrive on June 9.

First Trailer for Stephen King’s “It”

Posted on by

By Armando

In the terrifying first trailer for the updated version of Stephen King’s classic ‘It’, not everybody loves a clown (especially one that carries around a red balloon). In fact it may give you coulrophobia. Along with the first trailer, New Line Cinema also released a chilling new poster (right) for its upcoming film.

In the trailer, a boy chases his paper boat as it floats through the ditch and fell into the drainage. As he reaches down to find it, the boy saw the creepy head of a clown. In comes a group of curious kids known as The Loser Club, who finds out more about the mysterious disappearance of children in their town, and later come face to face with the evil clown.

Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name, “It” was previously adapted in 1990 into a tv miniseries with Tim Curry as Pennywise. In June 2012, Hollywood Reporter announced that the novel, similar to the two-part tv series, will be cleaved into two films.

There’s only a few glimpses of Pennywise the Clown in this first teaser, which only adds to the mystery. But as creepy as the trailer is, it also have the same vibe of “Stand By Me”, the 1986 classic also based on a Stephen King novella.

It would be interesting to see if elements from both novels appear in the movie and how they will come to merge. It is an effective trailer nonetheless, evoking many elements of suburban dreads pertaining to child abductions and children’s fear of clowns, as well the terrors and jump scares of the horror genre.

The cast includes Jaeden Lieberher (“Midnight Special” and one of our most anticipated movies of the year “The Book of Henry”), Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”), Jeremy Ray Taylor, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer and Nicholas Hamilton. Bill Skarsgård plays the Pennywise.

“It” is due to be released Sept. 8 by Warner Bros. Pictures and is directed by Argentinian filmmaker Andrés Muschietti.

Justice League trailer is out; Superman not in it

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

WARNER BROS. PICTURES


After a couple of teasers and character posters, the long-awaited official Justice League trailer is finally out. And in true Zack Snyder fashion, the trailer is big on action, heavy on special effects and full of spectacle. It appears to be lighter and less grim for a Snyder trailer, possibly as sign of things to come from DC Cinematic Universe.

The trailer has a few reveals, clips of Ray Fisher’s Victor Stone a.k.a. Cyborg, Wonder Woman and her sidekicks, Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen/The Flash with his father (Billy Crudup) behind bars, Ben Affleck Batman’s excellent driving Batmobile skills, and just how cool Jason Momoa, I mean Aquaman really is.

But the missing reveal is Superman, who may or may not be returning from the dead as per the ending of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”.

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s the official synopsis of Justice Leagie:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash — it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

“Justice League” arrives Nov. 17.

Robert Rodriguez in talks to direct “Escape from New York” remake

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

A remake to the 1981 dystopian action classic “Escape from New York” has been circulating in Hollywood for almost 10 years, and now it’s finally found a director. Deadline reports today that Robert Rodriguez is set to direct the remake for 20th Century Fox, which picked up the rights to remake the flick two years ago.

The original 1981 John Carpenter film has become a cult classic since its release. It was followed by a sequel in 1996, Escape from L.A., also by director Carpenter. Kurt Russell starred in both films as Snake Plissken, a convicted former Special Forces soldier conscripted to rescue the President, who has been captured by prisoners after Air Force One crashed in Manhattan, which has been turned into a giant maximum-security prison.

The news seems like a vote of confidence for Rodriguez, who just directed Alita: Battle Angel for the same studio. A frequent collaborator of Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez hasn’t directed a feature since 2014’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, but has been heavily involved his own cable television channel, El Rey since its launch in December 2013.

John Carpenter is also executive producing the reboot, with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company from a screenplay by Neil Cross, creator of the BBC crime series “Luther.”

The Dark Tower reveals first poster

Posted on by

By Armando

“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.

Ridley Scott confirms more Alien movies

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Its still two months away from the release of Alien: Covenant but Sir Ridley Scott is already prepping more Alien movies. In fact, he’s already got a title for the next one.

‘There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien. It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant,’ said Scott in a recent interview with Fandango. “It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant.. fairly integral where this colonization ship is on the way….” says the director.

Main takeaway: not only will there be another Alien movie, Scott is already working on it with a title in place called Awakening which presumably completes a trilogy and more coming our way, contingent on how Covenant and Awakening performs. “If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more,” Scott added.

Having this new Awakening film sandwiched between Prometheus and the upcoming Covenant suggests a non-linear timeline of these three movies. So let’s not even get into how confusing that is, and just enjoy the ride and see what the master has in store this summer.

Alien: Covenant, starring Michael Fassbender, James Franco and Katherine Waterston, is due to hit cinemas on May 12.

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.

Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you're interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure.

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.
