| Things will heat up again in a sequel to ‘Out of the Inferno’ Posted: 21 Jan 2017 12:30 PM PST  “Out of the Inferno” Chinese Teaser Poster The sequel thermometer continues to heat up with the newly announced follow up to the 2013 disaster film, Out of the Inferno (via AFS). The first movie – directed by the Pang Brothers (Bangkok Dangerous) – involved the heroic efforts of two brothers who help evacuate a number of people stuck in an insane skyscraper fire. The original starred Louis Koo (SPL II: A Time for Consequences), Lau Ching Wan (The Bullet Vanishes), Angelica Lee (The Thieves), Natalie Tong (Dragon Reloaded), Wang Baoqiang (Kung Fu Killer) and Gillian Chung (Ip Man Final Fight). There’s no word if the Pang Brothers, or any of the original cast members, will be returning this time around, but we’ll update this story as we hear more. |
| Is Sony’s new Steven Seagal DVD collection a deal or rip-off? Posted: 21 Jan 2017 11:49 AM PST  “Steven Seagal 8-Movie DVD Collection” Cover On February 7, 2017, Sony is releasing this 8-Movie Steven Seagal Collection on DVD. Sorry, no theatrical classics like Above the Law, Out for Justice, Under Siege or Exit Wounds to be found, but depending on your taste, this is either a great deal or a great rip-off: Here’s what the Direct-to-DVD collection includes (spread out on 4 discs): 2003’s The Foreigner, 2003’s Out of a Kill, 2004’s Out of Reach, 2005’s Black Dawn, 2005’s Today You Die, 2006’s Shadow Man, 2007’s Flight of Fury and 2007’s Urban Justice. At less than $2 a flick, can you go wrong? Anyway, if you’re a Seagal fan, check out our recent reviews for End of a Gun and Contract to Kill. |
| James Cameron and ‘Deadpool’ helmer to reboot ‘Terminator’ Posted: 20 Jan 2017 10:01 PM PST  “Terminator” Japanese Theatrical Poster Despite backlash and lukewarm domestic box office returns, 2015’s Terminator Genisys performed well in international markets. In fact, here’s a tidbit you probably weren’t aware of: Terminator Genisys is the second-highest grossing film of the entire franchise (behind only T2: Judgment Day) on a global scale. With that said, the following news shouldn’t come as a surprise: According to Deadline: “James Cameron, who regains certain rights to his prized creation The Terminator in 2019, is godfathering a new iteration of the film that might finally get it right in drawing a close in the battle between humans and Skynet. Sources said that Cameron, whose copyright reversion happens 35 years after the release of the 1984 classic, is in early talks with Deadpool director and VFX wiz Tim Miller to direct a reboot and conclusion of one of cinema's great science fiction tales.” We’re not sure what “reboot and conclusion” means, but our guess is the Cameron/Miller Terminator film will most-likely take place after T2 and will ignore the rest of them. And considering the near-flawless CGI going around these days, the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected. Whatever the case, The Terminator will be back… |
| Today’s forecast hints that another ‘White Storm’ is brewing Posted: 20 Jan 2017 12:47 AM PST  “The White Storm” Theatrical Poster In the mood for another storm? In addition to the recently announced L-Storm (third follow up to Z-Storm and S-Storm), the other storm franchise is continuing its story. According to AFS, a sequel to 2013’s The White Storm (aka The Cartel War) has been officially announced. The first film (read our review), directed by Benny Chan (Call of Heroes), starred Louis Koo (Flash Point) as a narcotics detective hot on the trail of a new drug kingpin (played by Cheung), who may or may not be a former cop that everyone believes is dead. Lau Ching Wan (A Hero Never Dies) and Nick Cheung (The Beast Stalker) co-starred. Details on The White Storm 2 are thin, but we’ll fill you in as more updates emerge. |
