By AI Creative Media

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.”

Fisher’s Leia will next be seen later this year in Star Wars: The Last Jedi which comes out Dec. 17. The still untitled “Episode IX” is slated for 2019.

Joss Whedon to Write and Direct New ‘Batgirl’ Movie

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!

‘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

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.
