The Dark Tower is set to hit theatres this August, though you'd be forgiven for not knowing it. We're now at the end of April and have yet to see a trailer. In fact, only a few photos and a poster have hit the web thus far, and with the release date quickly approaching, fans are beginning to get worried, and understandably so. For a big tentpole like this, you'd imagine that the studio would already be well into the marketing blitz, but here we are and there's still next to nothing being released.
After being snatched up in a bidding war for $5 million, the adaptation of David Grann’s book Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders And The Birth Of The FBI is starting to come together. While nothing's a done deal just yet, Deadline is reporting that Martin Scorsese may be coming on board to direct with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro "seriously considering" taking on starring roles. Dan Friedkin and Bradley Thomas, meanwhile, are on producing duties.
Marvel's no stranger to excellent casting choices. Across the board, they've been able to pull in top-tier talent and are always able to find the right man or woman for the job. Not only that, but they've also plucked a number of lesser known actors out of the woods and given them their big breaks, turning them into stars overnight. James Gunn's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will continue this trend of rock solid casting, bringing with it two exciting new additions.
When it comes to films depicting American heroism, few do it better than Clint Eastwood. The Hollywood legend loves a good tale of fighting the good fight and for his next project, he'll be tackling yet another true story that shows off bravery at its finest. That's because the director will get behind the camera for The 15:17 to Paris, which has a script from newcomer Dorothy Blyskal.
Shared cinematic universes are all the rage these days in Hollywood. Every studio's got one or is trying to get one off the ground and it's not hard to see why. For the most part, they all involve superheroes or some kind of sci-fi/comic book property, but if Kurt Russell had his way, we'd have gotten a much different type of cinematic universe, and a long time before Marvel or DC ever even entertained the idea.
Following a batch of character promos and the stunning opening credits sequence, Starz has now debuted a new featurette for their upcoming small-screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman's popular fantasy/horror novel, American Gods. The video comes packing quite a bit of new footage while also acting as a great introduction to the plot for those that may not be too familiar with Gaiman's source material - though it does sound like Starz's take is going to be making a few significant alterations.
Marvel's got a thing for taking little known characters and turning them into household names that generate significant amounts of money for them. First, they did it with the Guardians of the Galaxy and now, they've done it again with Doctor Strange. Scott Derrickson's solo outing for the Sorcerer Supreme did gangbusters at the box office, becoming the biggest single-character launch for Marvel and earning pretty strong reviews across the board, too.
A new adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s iconic sci-fi novel, Fahrenheit 451, has been kicking around for a while now. While we've seen the classic story on film before, the last time the author's work graced the silver screen was back in 1966, so it's definitely due for an update. Behind the wheel for this take on the tale is 99 Homes helmer Ramin Bahrani and now, we've got the first bit of casting news for the HBO Films project.
As Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War continues production in Edinburgh, Scotland, this latest batch of images from the set are by far the most spoiler-filled yet - so fair warning before reading any further.
The majority of Ryan Reynolds' original supporting cast had already been confirmed to reprise their roles for 20th Century Fox's upcoming Deadpool 2, but now the list is complete, as we've just been informed that the Merc With a Mouth will once again engage in some hilariously inappropriate banter with his grouchy, IKEA obsessed old roomie, Blind Al.
