Ant Man’s Corey Stoll will be joining him on the trip as Buzz Aldrin, while Chandler will be Deke Slayton, one of the first Americans in space, who was the Director of Flight Crew Operations during the Apollo 9 mission. Clarke meanwhile will be Ed White, who did te first American space walk, but died in a tragic accident on the launching pad in 1967, during testing for the first Apollo mission.
Based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film will cover the period between 1961 and 1969, showing just how dangerous and difficult it was to get men to the moon. The film is due out October 2018.
Three-time Oscar nominee Johnny Depp (“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” “Finding Neverland,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films) stars as notorious mobster James “Whitey” Bulger in the drama “Black Mass,” directed by Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”).
The one thing the world has always needed is more posters where the person in it is all blurry. Ant-Man has decided to help the cause with a series of character posters where the main thing in focus in the little hero and not the character he’s with.
After the success of Gone Girl it was no surprise that Hollywood went looking or more from the novel’s author, Gillian Flynn. A film based on Dark Places is now on its way, starring Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult.
Synopsis: Black Mass stars Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp (“Public Enemies”, “Donnie Brasco”, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films) as Whitey Bulger and Joel Edgerton (“The Great Gatsby,” “Zero Dark Thirty”) as FBI Agent John Connolly. Filming began in Boston under the direction of Scott Cooper (“Out of the Furnace,” “Crazy Heart”).
There comes a time in every Marvel film’s life when it needs a poster full of floating heads and bodies in an explosion of Photoshop-montage work, all while the characters look off into the middle-distance. It’s a bit daft but it works, and it has done for decades, not just for Marvel movies.
Ever since was first rumoured Ant-Man sounded like an odd hero to get a blockbuster adventure, but seeing as people said the same about pretty much every other character Marvel’s given a movie – from Iron Man to Thor – before they went on to huge success, there’s every reason to believe this new movie will be worth a look too.
