New Wonder Woman Trailer – Diana, princess of the Amazons, heads to the First World War

November 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman made quite an impression in Batman v Superman, giving many people hope that her standalone movie will be able to get the DC film universe on track after the rather messy Dawn Of Justice and Suicide Squad. The movie is going the Captain America route of taking us into the past, with time World War 1.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Wonder Woman” is released in cinemas around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

‘Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui. Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg, based on characters from DC Entertainment. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston. The film is produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Rebecca Roven, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with RatPac-Dune Entertainment, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, “Wonder Woman.” The film is scheduled for release on June 2, 2017, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.’

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice – Ultimate Edition (Blu-ray Review)

August 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams
Director: Zack Snyder
Running Time: 182 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 1st 2016 (UK)

As they say, ‘The higher you climb, the further there is to fall’. That’s a fair description of Batman v Superman, a film that you certainly can’t fault for its ambition, but which can’t reach the heights it strives for despite its best efforts. After an exceedingly mixed reaction at cinemas, the film comes to Blu-ray in an Ultimate Edition form, which adds in an extra 30 minutes of footage and adds back in some of the violence that US censors wouldn’t permit to get it a PG-13 certificate.

Some hoped this new version would rectify all the flaws of the theatrical cut. It doesn’t do that, but it does help a little, particularly with some of the subplots where the theatrical version had bits of them, but where they either petered out or didn’t make a whole lot of sense. It does add a couple of extra problems though. [Read more…]

July 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite the somewhat muted response to Batman v Superman, plans are still going full steam ahead for a Justice League movie, and to get fanboys excited, Warner Bros. unveiled a sizzle reel at Comic-Com. Luckily for us, they’ve put it on the internet so we can all take a look.

The footage gives us a look at Batman (Ben Affleck), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and more, as they start to team up to take on threats to humanity. There’s no Clark Kent, but anyone who’s seen Batman v Superman will know why they’re hiding him, despite the fact he will be in the movie.

Take a look at the Sizzle Reel below. The movie will be in cinemas November 2017. [Read more…]

Keeping Up With the Joneses Trailer: Gal Gadot and Jon Hamm turn suburban spies

June 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

As 30 Rock, Jon Hamm is a pretty good comedy actor, something he’ll hopefully get to show off in Keeping Up With The Joneses, alongside Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, as well as Isla Fisher and Zach Galafianakis. The trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An ordinary suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher) finds it’s not easy keeping up with the Joneses (Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot) – their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbours – especially when they discover that Mr. and Mrs. “Jones” are covert operatives.’

Greg Mottola (Superbad, Paul) directs the movie. It’ll be in UK cinemas in October. [Read more…]

First Look At Wonder Woman Alongside The Amazonian Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Lisa Loven Kongsli

March 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

To tie in with the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a new pic from Wonder Woman has been released, featuring the title character alongside some of the Amazonian women, including Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright and Lisa Loven Kongsli.

Nielsen is playing Wonder Woman’s mom, Hippolyta, with Wright as General Antiope and Kongsli as Antiope’s lieutenant, Menalippe. All of them live on Themyscira, a island that is hidden from the rest of the world, where the fierce Amazonian women of Greek legend still thrive.

EW comments, ‘Hippolyta, a revolutionary leader, longs to shelter her beloved daughter from the outside world, but Antiope, the Amazon responsible for Diana’s training, wants to prepare her. “She is the only child they raised together,” says [director, Patty Jenkins], calling from outside London, where she is deep into the film’s production. “And their love for her manifests in a different way for each of them.”

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman makes her debut in Batman v Superman, all ready to set up her own solo adventure, which Warner/DC will bring to cinemas in June 2017.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Cinema Review)

March 25, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Irons
Director: Zack Snyder
Running Time: 151 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: March 25th 2016

This film has been a long time coming and there are some great articles online chronicling the various attempts to bring Batman vs Superman and the Justice League to the silver screen. As you can tell from the subtitle, this film serves as an introduction to the Justice League films coming in 2017 and 2019, and the continuation of the DCCU (Detective Comics Cinematic Universe) which began with Man of Steel in 2013.

But in a film that is two and a half hours long I was concerned that they would rush the introduction to a wealth of new characters and backstories when it should just focus on the leads. Too many cooks and all.

DC and Warner Brothers are reaching for the financial success that Marvel has had with their cinematic universe (MCU), but the tone of their films set the studios apart. Marvel films are more light-hearted whereas DC’s recent films have mainly been darker (excluding the Schumacher Batman movies). Despite the darker tone I enjoyed Man of Steel up until the finale, where it seemed like the production had $100 million left and spent it needlessly destroying Metropolis. But it didn’t feel like a Superman movie and lacked the charm of Richard Donner’s 1978 version. [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Final Trailer – What is the Caped Crusader’s problem?

February 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It appears that Warner Bros. has decided that to really rev us up for next month’s release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we ought to know a bit more about Ben Affleck’s take on the Caped Crusader. As a result the new trailer focuses on him, while not forgetting that the Man Of Steel is pretty important to.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

The movie is due out next month. Take a look at the new trailer below.

Connie Nielsen Signs Up To Be Wonder Woman’s Mom

January 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman has been shooting for a while, but it hasn’t finished adding actors to its cast, as THR reports that Connie Nielsen has signed on, to play the superheroine’s mother, Hippolyta. She’ll now head for the set of the movie, which is currently shooting in the UK and Italy.

We still don’t know a vast amount about the movie, although it’s recently been confirmed that it will be set during World War I. It’s likely to follow at least the basics of the character’s origin story, with Chris Pine as a soldier who ends up injured and stranded on the island of Amazonia, where he is nursed back to health by Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. She then follows him to America, where she disguises herself as a normal person called Diana Prince between her bouts of being a hero.

However, we don’t know what Gadot and co. will be up against, or indeed how Hippolyta figures into this – although it’s likely that as Queen of the Amazonians, she won’t be too happy about her daughter leaving home.

Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Elena Anaya, and Lucy Davis also star. The movie will be in cinemas June 23rd, 2017.

Batman, Superman & Wonder Woman Get Dawn Of Justice Character Posters

December 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It feels like the summer blockbuster season is starting earlier and earlier each year. A couple of years ago a massive movie like Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice wouldn’t have arrived until May at the earliest, but instead it’s arriving in March.

That means that once Star Wars is out of the way, we’re likely to get saturation hype for the film, as Warner Bros. has a lot riding on it. This isn’t just the first time the Man Of Steel and the Caped Crusader have been in a live-action movie together, it’s going to kick-off an entire interconnected DC Comics universe, and introduce us to the likes of Aquaman, The Flash and Wonder Woman, leading up to a two part Justice League extravaganza.

Wonder Woman is expected to play a major role in Dawn Of Justice, and to underline that, Gal Gadot’r lasso wielding superhero has now got a character poster, alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman. You can see them below.
