Nolan fans now have a new film to look forward to. The Oscar nominated filmmaker is set for release on IMAX on July 17, 2020, per Hollywood Reporter published today.

It is no surprise that the studio has taken July as a perfect time to release the English auteur’s epic blockbusters. During the past few years, his name has been synonymous to hugely ambitious narrative scope and visual spectacle.

In fact, most of his most recent movies such as The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and were all July releases and received both critical and commercial successes.

His last film, the World War II epic blockbuster “Dunkirk”, was also released in July of 2017. That film grossed $520 million at the boxoffice and received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and his first Best Director nomination.

In total, Nolan’s movies grossed nearly US $5 billion worldwide and received 34 Oscar nominations, ten of which received the winning trophies.

Not much has been revealed about the upcoming Warner Bros. “event film,” but given his industry stature it is sure to attract plenty of major talents. We are sure to follow the development of this film and will publish more information when they are released.

“High Life” Trailer: Robert Pattinson Travel Through Space

A24

“The sensation of moving backwards… even though we’re moving forwards…getting further from what’s nearer.”

That’s Robert Pattinson’s Monte in the disturbing and mind-bending trailer for director Claire Denis’ upcoming science fiction film “High Life.”

The film features Juliette Binoche, a mad scientist specializing in bodily fluids, with Pattison Mia Goth, and André Benjamin.

They are a group of criminals condemned to life in an intergalactic space prison, lured into a mission to travel towards the black hole to search for alternative energy source, and which also involves human experimentation. That said, the film looks mysterious and intriguing and possibly better experienced with little knowledge of the plot.

This is the legendary French director’s first English language film, which reunites her with Juliette Binoche. The two worked together last year in the romantic comedy-drama “Let the Sunshine In.”

Denis wrote the film with Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox. It had its world premiere last September at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

“High Life” is currently scheduled for release in theaters on April 2019.

Brand New Trailer For “Shazam!” Released

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Warner Bros. / DC

There is plenty of footage in the DC’s lateset Shazam! trailer, giving us another look at Zachary Levy’s lighthearted and funny superhero.

The new trailer also shows how 14 year old Billy Batson (Asher Angel) jumps from the top of a building and transforms into Shazam.

The overall tone of the trailer is in line with goofy humor of the promos we have seen so far, including of course that poster showing Shazam chilling with a cellphone and bubblegum.

Levi is of course playing the film’s titular superhero. Directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) from a screenplay by Henry Gayden, the film co-stars Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer and Djimon Hounsou.

“Shazam” is set to storm into US theaters on April 19th, 2019. See the film’s first trailer below.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).

Lionsgate

Keanu is back, this time on a horse in the streets of New York in the latest trailer for “John Wick 3: Parabellum,” the third and final installment in the hugely successful John Wick film series which started in 2014.

The trailer is a stirring combo of non-stop action set to Andy Williams’ version of the classic song “The Impossible Dream (The Quest).” The film picks up where the Chapter 2’s cliffhanger ending left off: legendary hitman Wick is still on the run, expelled from from every Continental service after the assassination of another hitman and now with $14 million bounty on his head, everyone’s after him.

Chad Stahelski is back in the director’s chair alongside series screenwriter Derek Kolstad. Also back are

Also back are Ian McShane as Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel and Laurence Fishburne as underground crime lord The Bowery King. Joining the cast this time around are Anjelica Huston as The Director and protector of John Wick as well as Halle Berry playing another assassin and John Wick’s pal Sofia.

Now slated for a summer release, the series has truly evolved into a summer tentpole from its humble beginnings. In 2014, the first Wick film was a surprise boxoffice hit, grossing $88 million worldwide on a $29 million budget, while the first sequel released nearly two years ago grossed $171.5 million. Critical response to both films were also positive.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is set to arrive in theaters May 17.
