Despite two back to back hits during his early years in The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, director M. Night Shyamalan hasn't exactly had a successful career. After those two films, it was mostly one flop after another for over a decade, turning the once great filmmaker into something of a joke. Lately, however, he's been taking some serious steps to turn things around.
If you were expecting a fan-favorite character like Robb or Catelyn Stark after reading the title, we're sorry, as it's actually someone you probably hoped you'd never have to lay eyes on again. The folks over at Watchers on the Wall report that the loathsome Walder Frey will return for the next season of Game of Thrones, after noticing that the official page for actor John Bradley at United Agents has been updated to include season 7 of HBO's ever-popular fantasy drama series in his list of credits.
This time last year, Tim Miller's Deadpool had just begun its second week of general release in theaters, and if someone had told us back then that the first solo outing for The Merc with a Mouth would go on to become one of the most acclaimed superhero movies of all time, we'd probably have called them crazy. However, that really does appear to be the case.
Though most of the focus is on Wonder Woman and Justice League right now when it comes to DC's upcoming slate of films, one project that's starting to heat up is Shazam! One of the reasons for this is Dwayne Johnson, who will be playing Black Adam in the adaptation and has been teasing it quite a bit lately. That, coupled with some pretty awesome fan art, makes it easy to see why interest and excitement for the film has increased so much and now, the hype train is starting up once again.
Ever since Marvel announced that they'd be producing a series of Netflix TV shows that would be set in the same universe as their big screen adventures, fans have wondered when we'd see some kind of crossover. Many assumed that Avengers: Infinity War would be the movie that'd unite Earth's Mightiest Heroes with the street-level vigilantes seen on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, but alas, that wasn't to be - and it's actually looking more and more unlikely that it's going to happen in the foreseeable future.
With less than a month to go until Keanu Reeves' badass hitman returns to our screens in John Wick: Chapter 2, the excitement for Lionsgate's sequel is palpable. It's understandable, too, as the first outing presented a slick, stylish action thriller with some beautifully choreographed combat and firefights. Not to mention it also featured one of Reeves' best performances in years.
The release of The LEGO Batman Movie isn't too far off now. February 10th is the date for your diaries and to keep the spinoff at the forefront of your mind, Warner Bros. is continuing to drop promos like they're going out of business. Today is no different, as the studio has released two new videos that once again show off the fun, irreverent spirit of the film, one which is sure to capture the hearts of audiences everywhere.
With the next film in the James Bond franchise set to be the 25th outing, there's a certain pressure on the producers to deliver an unforgettable adventure. The series has had its ups and downs over the years, to be sure, but for such a milestone like this one, they really need to hit it out of the park. Unfortunately for them, however, everything seems to be very much up in the air at the moment.
As we all eagerly await that long overdue second trailer for Logan, the film's director, James Mangold, has shared three new portraits of our principal protagonists to his Twitter account. The images provide us with fresh looks at the elderly Professor Charles Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart), Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keen), and the iconic mutant badass of the title, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman).
Thanks to a batch of interviews with Deadpool 2 screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, we've been learning quite a bit about 20th Century Fox's highly anticipated sequel over the last few days. Last night, we found out that both Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead would return, and now the duo have revealed that another fan-favourite character will also be back: Dopinder, the hapless taxi driver that chauffeurs the Merc with a Mouth around in the first film.
