| Watch 007 deliver action in the new TV spot for ‘SPECTRE’! Posted: 10 Jun 2015 12:01 AM PDT  "SPECTRE" Teaser Poster THE MOVIE: Agent 007′s latest adventure, Skyfall, has gone on to become the most successful James Bond film of all time. With a final gross of over $1 billion worldwide, it’s no surprise that the Bond producers have asked Skyfall director Sam Mendes to return to helm Daniel Craig’s next outing as the super spy. Bond 24 is officially titled SPECTRE (which stands for “Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion”). Returning cast members include Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, and Rory Kinnear. New cast members are as followed: Christoph Waltz (who is playing Oberhauser, not Blofeld, as previously rumored), Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott, Monica Bellucci and Stephanie Sigman. Also returning is Jesper Christensen, who played the Mr. White in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. SPECTRE hits theaters in the U.K. on October 23, 2015 and in the U.S. on November 6, 2015. Updates: Latino Review reported that John Logan (Gladiator), one of four credited writers on Skyfall, has already been hired to write the next two films in the franchise. | During a Charlie Rose interview (via Collider), director Sam Mendes explains why he finally decided to return to the director's chair for Bond 24: "I cast a new M, I cast a new Moneypenny, I cast a new Q, I cast a new Tanner… I felt there was a way to create the second part of a two-part story." The director also states that it will feel like a continuation of Skyfall. Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema (Interstellar) is taking over duties for Roger Deakins (Skyfall). In addition, Mendes will be shooting Bond 24 on film, as opposed to digital. | Teaser posters ( 1 | 2 ). | 1st teaser trailer for SPECTRE. BREAKING NEWS: Watch the new TV spot for SPECTRE. |
| Joe Carnahan for ‘Bad Boys 3′? (what’s he gonna do?) Posted: 09 Jun 2015 02:22 AM PDT  "Bad Boys 2" Japanese Theatrical Poster Sony has hired David Guggenheim (Safe House) to script the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Bad Boys 3. The studio is hoping that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will return. At this time, there’s no word if Michael Bay, who directed 1995′s Bad Boys and 2003′s Bad Boys 2, will be involved. The Bad Boys franchise revolves around two hip detectives who fight criminals in the mean streets of Florida. It should be noted that Bad Boys 2 contains a key action scene – involving automobiles driving down hill through a residential village – which was ”borrowed” from Jackie Chan’s Police Story. Updates: According to Deadline, Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces, The Grey) is in early talks to possibly direct. In addition, Sony wants to Will Smith to consider Bad Boys 3 after he wraps up Suicide Squad. |
| Expect more martial arts action as the Punisher joins Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Posted: 08 Jun 2015 11:59 PM PDT  "Daredevil" Japanese Theatrical Poster By all accounts, season one of Netflix’s Daredevil series has proven a rousing success. The 13-episode program, which features Charlie Cox (Stardust) as Marvel Comics’ blind attorney turned vigilante, earned high marks from both critics and fanboys alike thanks to its blend of crime drama and hard-hitting action. The show’s fight scenes, of which are there many, offer intricate martial arts choreography that wouldn’t be out of place in a Hong Kong action flick. In fact, Daredevil showrunner Steve S. DeKnight revealed to Entertainment Weekly that the series’ inspiration included modern Indonesian classic The Raid: Redemption. Given the acclaim that greeted Daredevil’s first season, fans are already anticipating Season 2. And they have every right to get excited: Marvel announced today that actor Jon Bernthal, perhaps best known for his turn as hotheaded Shane in TV’s The Walking Dead, has been cast as the Punisher – Marvel Comics’ other streetside vigilante who, unlike Daredevil, isn’t afraid to pull the trigger and mete out a deadly brand of justice. Looks like things in Hell’s Kitchen are about to be anything but quiet when Daredevil: Season 2 arrives sometime in 2016. |
