John Travolta Seeks Revenge In I Am Wrath Trailer

Now, there will undoubtedly be endless commentary about the tediousness of the ‘Family Man Out For Revenge’ trope that is relentlessly rolled out every time an aging actor needs a career boost, but here’s the thing – inexplicably, it often works. It worked for Liam Neeson with Taken, it worked for Keanu Reeves with John Wick. It even, sort of, worked for Kevin Costner in Three Days To Kill. For all its terrible, predictable flaws, it is possible for this well-worn narrative to succeed - given the right actor, with the right material. Will that be the case with I Am Wrath? Based on the first trailer, the chances are slim.

Is Captain America: Civil War Set For A Marvel Record-Breaking Runtime?

If your movie is crammed to the brim with popular franchise characters, it’s going to be a long one – and in that respect, it is unsurprising to hear that cinema listings have begun to appear, suggesting that the run-time of Captain America: Civil War will be 2 hours and 26 minutes. This information has not been officially confirmed, but if these listings are accurate, this run-time would make Captain America: Civil War a Marvel record-breaker, before it even gets near a cinema screen.

Conflicting Rumours Suggest Agent Carter Season 3 Is Still Possible

As a character, Agent Peggy Carter bears a heavy burden upon her capable shoulders. She is, to date, the only female Marvel character to lead her own project in TV or film, and her show, Agent Carter, has been groundbreaking. Having been introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The First Avenger, she has since become a beloved figure in her own right, thanks to a consistently excellent portrayal by Hayley Atwell.

Future Is Bright For Will Smith, Joel Edgerton And David Ayer

For a brief moment there, it looked very much as though the Will Smith blockbuster train was grinding to an unfortunate, disappointing halt. The actor’s career took a giant hit with the critical failure of After Earth, and was only partially redeemed by Focus and Concussion. But, along came the soon-to-be-released Suicide Squad, and suddenly the train is rolling once more. It is little surprise, then, to hear that Smith is already on board for the next project helmed by his Suicide Squad director – Bright.

AMC And Ridley Scott Developing A Series Adaptation Of The Terror

You might say that naming a naval ship the 'HMS Terror' is, in some ways, a bad idea – particularly when that ship is to be sent off into the Arctic wilderness in search of the Northwest Passage. But, name it they did, and a century and a half later, this forms the basis of a novel of historical fiction, by Dan Simmons, named The Terror. It is this novel that is now being adapted into an anthology series for AMC, to be executive produced by Ridley Scott.

With principal photography having recently wrapped on John Wick 2, Keanu Reeves has been describing what we can expect from the highly anticipated sequel. The stakes are high for the follow-up, after the surprise success of 2014’s John Wick – which was praised by audiences and critics alike, and raked in $86 million at the box office, against an estimated $20 million budget.
