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.”

MARVEL COMICS Proudly Presents “Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet – Part Eleven” Featuring “Don’t Front” From Dreamville Recording Artist, BAS

Posted on by

New York, NY—March 23, 2017 — Marvel Comics continues to present this year’s breakout Marvel Super Hero – the Black Panther – through a monthly video series that continues to link the world of comics and hip-hop blending animated comics along with commentary from Black Panther writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Additionally, “Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet – Part Eleven” incorporates the exclusive debut of the brand new track, “Don’t Front” from Dreamville recording artist, Bas.

Within Marvel Comics’ Black Panther, written by The Atlantic national correspondent and National Book Award winner, Ta-Nehisi Coates, “A Nation Under Our Feet” comes to a close. The dust settles, and peace comes to Wakanda once again. That is, if her political leaders can come to terms….T’Challa finds himself in the last place he ever expected: A republic.

Continuing the excitement surrounding Marvel’s celebrated Super Hero T’Challa, the Black Panther, the latest episode of this revolutionary multi-artist hip-hop-inspired video series samples a brand new track, “Don’t Front” from Dreamville recording artist, Bas.

“I love comics for the themes they deal with. Death, love, regret, sorrow etc. even superheroes deal with, and are often fueled by, human emotions – no one is exempt,” said Bas. “I think my music touches on a lot of those same themes. Much like comic books, my songs have story arcs, and within these stories is a deeper emotion that I try to relay. Much as the magic of comics lies equally in the artwork, the story and the emotion, I like my music to tell a story as much sonically as through my words.”

What Fans Can Expect From Season Two of WestWorld

Posted on by

By Sukhbir Dhillon

After a gripping first season that even bested the debut season of the Game of Thrones, in terms of ratings, creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s left fans in awe as the show went out with a bang to cap off an incredible first season that left fans wishing for much more. Now as fans wait for the second season, which will premiere in 2018, there is a lot of speculation about which direction the show will go in, who will be back, and where will it be located.

Recently, Nolan stated the show would be leaving the westworld park behind, and instead be moving onto other parks within the show’s universe,“So we said when we started working on the series that we wanted to be ambitious. We wanted each season to increase in that ambition and in the scope of the show.”

Joy also offers input on the future of the show and what kind of themes to expect in season two, “the safety is off,” so for characters like Dolores and other hosts, they won’t be the painfully limited robots that die horrifically each episode. Instead fans can anticipate the hosts to be in the driver’s seat, and that can play out in any number of ways.

The Dark Tower reveals first poster

Posted on by

“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.
