Just weeks before Alien: Covenant opens nationwide, Ridley Scott puts to rest any hopes and speculations about the possibility of ‘Alien 5’ becoming a reality.

This speculation has been around for a couple of years since ‘District 9’ director Neill Blomkamp posted a concept art on Instagram, and was later followed by Sigourney Weaver (who worked with Blomkamp in ‘Chappi’) expressing interest in doing the movie.

But with production of ‘Covenant’ sequel already underway, currently titled ‘Awakening’, it looks like Scott will be getting busy piloting the Alien franchise. Scott of course directed the original 1979 Alien film and was followed by three sequels by James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet successively.

Here’s portion of Scott’s statement regarding ‘Alien 5’ (translated by AVP Galaxy):

“Ridley Scott, who was in Paris for the promotion of the new opus of the saga, was even more definitive in our microphone: “I think he will never see the light,” he replied after explaining That the project was far less advanced than previously thought. “There was never a scenario, just an idea that evolved into a pitch of ten pages, I had to participate as a producer but it did not go any further because the Fox decided that She did not want to do it. I had already done Prometheus and worked on Covenant.”

But there will be plenty of ‘Alien’ movies in the pipeline for fans, starting with this summers’ Alien: Covenant. Starring Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, the movie opens in theaters on May 19.

Hugh Jackman might have ended his portrayal of the character but ‘Logan’ will be returning in theaters, at least for one day.

James Mangold’s final Wolverine solo film will be back in cinemas soon, this time in black and white which should please the movie’s most ardent fans. Director Mangold made the announcement on Twitter, including its date which is May 16th, a week before its home media release on May 23. There is not a lot of information out there as to location and theater count, but we’ll surely hear more about this soon. Back in March, Mangold confirmed the black and white version with a rather cryptic Twitter post that he was indeed “workin’ on it”.

Warner Bros.

This isn’t the first time a gritty action film from a major studio is getting a black and white treatment. Some might remember that in 2016, George Miller’s masterpiece ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ was released in black and white on Blu-ray. Dubbed “Black and Chrome Edition”, the version will receive a one-night-only theatrical showing in England this Sunday, though Miller has been talking about his intention since the film’s release back in 2015. It surely helped that the movie was critical hit and received numerous awards.

Similarly, ‘Logan’ was critical and commercial hit. On top of being the best reviewed ‘X-Men’ film, it is one of the highest grossing films this year, $604 million worldwide to date.

New Wonder Woman TV Spots

By Creative Media Times

Around a month from Wonder Woman’s release comes two new action-packed ‘Wonder Woman’ TV spots: one gives us a brief look at Ares, the movie’s villain, and the other shows us some of the movie’s comedic aspects, epic battles, and shots involving Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth.
Meanwhile, Regal Entertainment Group also announced the Wonder Woman Ultimate Ticket, which allows fans to see the movie at Regal locations once per day in any format, including 3D, IMAX, 4DX and RPX, during the film’s entire theatrical run. The ticket costs $100 (plus shipping) and is available on Regal’s website.

The first spot, titled “Together,” has a lighter tone and shows the comedic side of Chris Pine’s character (Steve Trevor) as he tries to explain his relationship with Gal Gadot’s Diana, confirming again that there’s lighthearted humor in the film along with the action and epic battles. The second spot is a bit more somber and is called “Power”. The spot gives us a glimpse of villain Ares and Diana are battling it out. Its been confirmed that the Ares will appear in the film, but this is the first time we’ve seen the villain in action.

Overall, the TV sports give us varied aspects of the film without being too spoilery, which is refreshing. That said we will surely be seeing a barrage of marketing over the next month as the studio gears up its promotional blitz near the movie’s release.

Wonder Woman also stars Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, and Danny Huston. The film arrives in theaters on June 2, 2017.

Shyamalan Announces ‘Split’ / ‘Unbreakable’ Sequel

If you’re an M. Night Shyamalan fan, you’re probably one of those whose brain exploded after that shock ending in ‘Split’ while realizing that the rest of the audience wondered what the hell was going on.

For 17 years, fans of M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Unbreakable’ have been asking for a sequel but saw that possibility disappear over the years. Well, after the release of ‘Split’ last January, that question was finally answered, somewhat unofficially in latter film’s final minutes, but now officially on Twitter yesterday by Shyamalan himself.

“It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, ‘Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?’ ” he tweeted. “My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.” A couple of hours earlier, Universal Pictures announced the title and dated the film’s release: “Universal Pictures will release #Glass on January 18, 2019 all over the world. How’s that for not keeping a secret!”

Fans will remember that Mr. Glass is the criminal alias of Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Unbreakable, Elijah Price. In that movie, Price has an abnormally fragile bones and is in search of his opposite extreme, one that is “unbreakable”.

Then in the final scene in ‘Split’, that character, Bruce Willis‘ David Dunn shows up in a restaurant, watching the TV. In that scene, as everyday folks were reminded of another criminal character back in the day, David uttered “they called him Mr. Glass.”

Well, there you go. Just like that, Shyamalan has created his very own shared cinematic universe!

Rest In Peace Jonathan Demme

By Creative Media Times

John Stephen Dwyer

The great auteur who gave us ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘Philadelphia’ died this morning in New York. He was 73. The Oscar-winning director died of cancer complications.

Demme rose to prominence with a wide range of genres such as the comedies Melvin and Howard (1980) and Married to the Mob (1988), the concert film featuring Talking Heads’ live performance Stop Making Sense (1984) which is hailed as one of the greatest rock movies ever, and the drama Philadelphia (1993) which won star Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar.

But Demme is probably best known for directing “Silence of the Lambs,” the 1991 horror-thriller which swept the Academy Awards, winning the 5 major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress for Jodie Foster and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ted Tally.

As such, this makes ‘Lambs’ only the third film in history to accomplish such a feat, and the first and only horror film to win Best Picture.

Demme is survived by his wife Joanne Howard, and their three children.
