Production on Joe and Anthony Russo's Avengers: Infinity War is now well underway, and has been for quite some time. Set photos and videos have been hitting the web at an alarming rate - as was expected - but oddly enough, we still haven't seen anything official from the film. Then again, with Marvel currently focusing all of their efforts on Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok, and only just pushing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 out the door, perhaps it's understandable that they haven't had the chance yet to kick off the marketing for the next Avengers movie.
Several years ago - in 2013, to be exact - Netflix fulfilled the dreams of many by bringing back Arrested Development for a fourth season. Though it was one of the most brilliant comedies to ever grace the small screen, it was also very ahead of its time and after just three seasons, Fox gave the show the axe. Thankfully, though, Netflix did their thing and came to the rescue, ensuring that viewers would get to spend more time with the Bluth clan.
In just a few short days, the next chapter in Ridley Scott's iconic sci-fi/horror saga will slither into theatres when Alien: Covenant makes its much anticipated debut. Acting as a direct sequel to the very divisive Prometheus, expectations are high for the director to bring back that unmistakable sense of dread and horror that he first delivered in the original Alien all those years ago, and from what we can tell, that's exactly what he'll be doing here.
Ah, actors. Always trying to troll their fans and elicit reactions and responses, just to see where things might go. This appears to be the case once again when it comes to Josh Gad's recent Tweets teasing a role as classic Batman villain the Penguin.
Not all horror films need some supernatural or paranormal element to them. In fact, some of the genre's best efforts have been the most simple ones, with a grounded threat that feels real and believable. For many, that's the scariest thing and it's what made some of the classics from the 70s and 80s into the iconic films that they are today. Sometimes, all you really need is a psycho with a blade just killing people for no apparent reason.
Say what you want about Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - and a lot of people have said a whole lot of things - but even over a year since the hugely divisive film hit theatres, it's still making headlines and whether you loved it or loathed it, it's set the foundation for an absolutely massive cinematic universe, what with the recent announcements of projects like Nightwing and Batgirl, in addition to everything else that's already coming down the pipeline.
Fans of action movies are in for a real treat today, as Deadline is reporting that Jackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone, both icons of the genre, are set to team up for for Ex-Baghdad, an upcoming thriller produced by Chan's SR Media company. With a budget of $80 million, it's looking to be one of the most costly Chinese productions to date and though both actors are now signed on, no release timetable or shooting schedule has been revealed just yet.
Ahead of the release of Power Rangers, Lionsgate had big plans for the franchise. Apparently, they were hoping to make at least 6 more films before moving into spinoff territory and spawning an entire cinematic universe. And while the studio hasn't canceled those plans just yet, the chances of them moving ahead with that blueprint don't look too good. Reviews weren't terrible, to be fair, but the blockbuster failed to ignite the box office like the studio no doubt hoped it would.
'Tis the season of television renewals and cancellations. A number of series, both old and new, are finding themselves in precarious positions as they wait patiently to discover their fate. Just yesterday, we learned that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had earned a fifth season while NBC's Powerless got the axe. That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all the movement going on in the industry this week, either, as countless shows have either been given a new lease on life or sent off to the gallows.
With the amount of experience and impressive credits Charlie Hunnam's got under his belt, you'd think that the actor would be A-list material by now. Unfortunately, though, he isn't there quite yet. Not for a lack of trying, mind you. After seven long seasons on FX's Sons of Anarchy, Hunnam is now making a big push into the world of film. He did have some notable roles in the past (Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak), but with his television commitments now behind him, he's free to take on a lot more big screen projects.
