The Marvel Universe Continues its Fight Against the Grasp of Hydra with Secret Empire: Uprising #1

Posted on by


A crucial SECRET EMPIRE chapter that bridges issues #3 and #4 of the Marvel Comics event. YOur First Look.

New York, NY—May 5, 2017—Hydra has taken over. The Black Widow has a dangerous plan to take them down, and it may require the heroes of the Marvel Universe to cross a line they never thought they would. Helmed by Derek Landy, writer of the blockbuster, award-winning Skulduggery Pleasant series, with art by Joshua Cassara (New Avengers) it’s time for Natasha Romanoff to unite the next generation of Marvel heroes against the oncoming forces of Hydra with SECRET EMPIRE: UPRISING.

“One of the overriding themes in SECRET EMPIRE: UPRISING is for the heroes not to make the same old mistakes all over again,” said Landy. “The Champions, for instance, are looking for non-violent ways to stop violent opponents, and that ethos spills over into Uprising. How do a bunch of super-powered kids, brimming with optimism, factor in the Black Widow’s dark agenda when confronted with Captain America’s role in the Hydra takeover of America? What are they willing to do? How far are they willing to go?”

Intense Official Trailer For Nolan’s ‘Dunkirk’

Posted on by

Warner Bros.

By Creative Media Times

The official trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” was released by Warner Bros. on Friday and it is both harrowing and epic. Written and directed by Nolan, the movie concerns the mass rescue and evacuation of allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, France during World War II, where they were stranded and surrounded by the German army.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred to the events in France “a colossal military disaster”. This line can be heard narrating the opening scenes, and quickly followed by ticking of the clock as we watch the allied troops under duress on land, air and sea.

The trailer is haunting, beautifully shot, and captured the intensity and chaos in Dunkirk. This all reminds us that the acclaimed filmmaker is not slowing down on making such large scale epic films, and that can only be a good thing. Nolan has put his heart and soul into this: in addition to his star-studded cast, he’s recruited 6,000 extras for the film. IMAX cameras were also hand-held by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema for long durations, a painful yet pioneering practice on a feature film.

Dunkirk hits theaters July 21, similar to Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ and ‘Inception,’ which were both released in July.

It goes without saying that anticipation is very high on ‘Blade Runner 2049’: the original Ridley Scott 1982 classic neo-noir ‘Blade Runner’ has developed a cult following over the decades. Though that movie initially received mixed reactions when it was released, time has been kind to the movie and has since evolved into a landmark film, frequently appearing in all-time best sci-fi ever lists. Today, we finally get our first teaser posters courtesy of the film’s Twitter site.

The two posters very clear shows the contrast between the two characters: Officer K (Ryan Gosling) and Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), one is set in hot color tone with Deckard looking rugged, the other stylishly avant garde and cold. However, both are fittingly mysterious and gloomy. ‘Blade Runner 2049’ is a sequel, and is supposed to take place 30 years after Scott’s original film.

Details about the film is closely-guarded for now, but it looks like the studio is ramping up the promo. It was announced on the movie’s Twitter site that there will be a live Q&A with Gosling, Ford and director Denis Villeneuve this coming Monday, 5/8 at 9AM PT!

Also starring Dave Bautista, Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, and Lennie James. Blade Runner 2049 is set for release October 6, 2017.

Dark Tower’ Trailer Is Finally Here

By Creative Media Times

I do not kill with my gun…I kill with my heart.” ― Stephen King, The Gunslinger

One of the year’s most ambitious adaptations, Sony’s “The Dark Tower” finally got a trailer. Expectations are high on this one: the first of the eight-book saga from which the movie is based on began in 1983 with The Gunslinger, nearly a 35-year wait for fans. From what we have seen so far, its all worth it.

The overarching ideas of the books are there on the trailer, while also keeping some of King’s trademark elements; the discovery of another dimension, the lone gunslinger in a quest to reach the tower, and the vicious sorcerer aka The Man in Black on the chase. And similar to the trailer for King’s other big adaption this year, ‘It’, we find a boy lead us again into a world of mystery and epic journey.

The trailer look busy and broad; as one should expect there is no way to condense King’s series of novels on a 3-minute trailer so fans should keep their expectations in check. It does help to be aware that the movie is not a faithful adaptation but another take on the stories which King crafted over the years.

“The Dark Tower” stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Taylor, as Roland Deschain/Gunslinger, Walter/The Man in Black, and Jake Chambers respectively. Directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel, the movie also stars Abbey Lee, Katheryn Winnick, Fran Kranz, Claudia Kim and Jackie Earle Haley. The movie is coming to theaters on August 4, 2017.

‘Dark Tower” Gets Two New Posters Ahead of Trailer Release

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

The trailer for one of our most anticipated movies this summer, the adaptation of Stephen King’s sci-fi Western horror film ‘The Dark Tower’, is just around the corner. But before that, Columbia Pictures released two new posters (below). Following that creatively provocative one-sheet teaser we saw more than a month ago, these posters show more of what our main characters will look like, but equally intriguing nonetheless.

The posters feature Matthew McConaughey’s sorcerer villain Walter/Man in Black, and Idris Elba’s gunslinger Roland Deschain. We will see more of how these characters interact with the release of the trailer tomorrow. Anticipation is running high for this adaptation especially after that other Stephen King movie ‘It’ smashed online views records.

Here’s the film’s synopsis to those unfamiliar:

Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), the last Gunslinger, is locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim (Matthew McConaughey), also known as the Man in Black. The Gunslinger must prevent the Man in Black from toppling the Dark Tower, the key that holds the universe together. With the fate of worlds at stake, two men collide in the ultimate battle between good and evil.

The Dark Tower will be in theaters everywhere August 4th, 2017.

Paul McGuigan Eyed To Direct “Bond 25”

Paul McGuigan By Anthony Citrano


There has been a lot of conversations about the future of ‘Bond 25’ lately. A few weeks ago, five Hollywood studios were tied in a bidding war over distribution rights to James Bond. This comes after Sony’s contract to distribute and market Bond films expired with 2015’s ‘Spectre’. Some of the studios vying in this interesting bidding war includes Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Annapurna Pictures.

Now, IndieWire is reporting that ‘Lucky Number Slevin’ director Paul McGuigan might be headed for the next’s Bond’s directing gig. It is still not confirmed whether Daniel Craig is returning for the role, but Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are apparently working on a script. So it’s only natural for the hunt for a director to begin.

Based on the article, it seems that producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are impressed with McGuigan’s work on ‘Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool’ that they become interested to put him in consideration. Broccoli is the head of Eon Productions which produced ‘Liverpool’ (starring Jamie Bell and Annette Bening).

McGuigan is an interesting choice, as we have not seen him helm a movie the scale of a cultural phenomenon that is Bond. Which makes the release of ‘Liverpool’ all the more intriguing. Besides, all these might eventually be decided on how the aforementioned studio bidding war will unfold. It is at least good to hear that we are hearing some activity on ‘Bond 25’ once again.
