First Look At Evan Peters As Quicksilver In X-Men: Days of Future Past

January 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-days-of-future-past-ew-pic1There’s an interesting situation with Marvel character Quicksilver, as while normally movie deals mean only one studio can make use of that person, he is set to appear in both Fox’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past and Marvel’s The Avengers 2. However he’ll be played by different actors, and due to the terms of the deals, Avengers can’t mention his X-Men heritage, while X-Men can’t say he’ll one days join up with a superhero team.

Days Of Future Past will be our first taste of Quicksilver, with American Horror Story’s Evan Peters taking the role. Now we get our first look at him in the part, although he is sadly slightly in the background, alongside Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman. There’s also another new photo below from Entertainment Weekly, featuring Wolverine and Beast (Nicholas Hoult).

Quicksilver has superhuman speed, so expect plenty of slow-motion shots (filmed at 3,600 frames a second!) when Days Of Future past hits this summer. The character will be played by Aaron Johnson in The Avengers 2.

Hugh Jackman May Be Blackbeard In Joe Wright’s Pan

December 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

les-miserables-hugh-jackmanHugh Jackman may be turning pirate as Variety reports that after Javier Bardem passed on the role, Hugh is in talks to play Blackbeard in Pan. Joe Wright is directing the Peter Pan prequel, which is in a bit of a race to the screen against Disney’s Peter and the Starcatchers, based on the ‘official’ Pan prequel novel.

Previously there haven’t been many plot details for Pan, but Variety opens up a little, saying ‘The origin story revolves around an orphan who is taken to the magical world of Neverland where he becomes a hero to the natives and leads a revolt against the evil pirates.

‘The idea is that Blackbeard is the film’s main antagonist while Hook would serve as Pan’s close ally before turning bad. Ryan Gosling was someone the studio had looked at among others for the part.’

The studio is now likely to hold an open casting for the role of Peter, and is also looking for an actress in her 20s to play Tiger Lily. It’s not clear when it might shoot.

Hugh Jackman & James Mangold Coming Back For Another Wolverine Movie

November 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wolverine-review-slide
Earlier this year Hugh Jackman said that after X-Men: Days Of Future Past he was planning to have a bit of a break before playing Wolverine again, however it’s now been revealed that he’s agreed to reteam with director James Mangold for a third Wolverine spin-off movie, according to Deadline.

This will be the 8th time Hugh Jackman has played the character, after two solo films and five X-Men movies. Perhaps surprisingly, this will be the longest any actor has played the same superhero on the big screen.

Although The Wolverine was only a modest success in the States, grossing $132 million, it pulled in over $280 million overseas for a total worldwide gross of $413 million. That makes it the second highest-grossing X-Men movie, just behind X-Men: The Last Stand, which earned $459 worldwide. With Days Of Future Past expected to be a big hit next summer, 20th Century Fox has decided it’s worth putting another Wolverine movie into development.

James Mangold will write the treatment, although there’s no news on what the plot may be.

Sigourney Weaver Joins Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie

October 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sigourney-WeaverThere was five years between District 9 and Neill Blomkamp’s follow-up, Elysium, but he’s ensuring there’s no such gap until his next movie, as Chappie has just started shooting in South Africa. And just as filming begins, Sigourney Weaver has signed on.

Blomkamp also co-wrote the screenplay with Terri Tatchell. The brief synopsis says, ‘After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot.’

The film stars Sharlto Copley as the voice of Chappie, with Hugh Jackman, Dev Patel, Sigourney Weaver, Ninja, Yolandi Visser, Jose Pablo Cantillo and Brandon Auret leading the human cast.

Hugh Jackman Joins Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie

September 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hugh-jackman-600pxWhile there was a big gap between District 9 and Elysium, Neill Blomkamp is working quicker this time around, hoping to shoot Chappie early next year. Sharlto Copley and Dev Patel have already signed on to star, and now Hugh Jackman has revealed he’ll be in the movie too.

Hugh announced the news during a press conference for Prisoners Zurich Film Festival, where he is receiving the Golden Icon Award, saying that “I am doing a role in Neill’s new film, called Chappie, which we shoot in Johannesburg. I’m there for a couple of weeks at the beginning of next year.”

He wouldn’t give any specifics about the character, the story is about an android (Copley), who is captured and re-programmed by two South African gangsters (Die Antwoord’s Ninja Visser and Yolandi Visser) for their own nefarious purposes. Bleeding Cool suggests that Hugh Jackman is playing a resourceful CEO who ends up on the wrong side of these gangsters. Dev Patel also stars in an unspecified role.

The film will be out on March 27th, 2015 release date.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past Viral Video – Meet the Sentinels and Peter Dinklage’s Trask Industries

July 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


X-Men: Days Of Future Past isn’t out until May 23rd, 2013, but Fox is starting the hype early, hoping plenty of people will be getting excited about the old X-Men teaming up with the First Class cast. Now we’ve got a viral video, introducing us to Trask Industries, run by Peter Dinklage’s Bolivar Trask, and the Sentinels, robots that ‘protect’ the near future from mutants, who’ve been rounded up and locked away.

The only way to stop them is for Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to send Hugh Jackman into the past (or at least their X-Men characters will) so that he can try and convince the likes of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender that they must prevent an assassination and in doing so prevent the rise of the sentinels.

You can also see a few pics of the Sentinels from the Trask Industries website, as well as a gif of Dinklage as Bolivar, below.

The Wolverine (Cinema)

July 24, 2013 By Stephen Sclater Leave a Comment

Starring: Rila Fukushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Will Yun Lee, Hugh Jackman
Director: James Mangold
Running Time: 126 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: 25 July 2013

Hugh Jackman returns from flexing his vocal chords in Les Miserables to more familiar territory of flexing his muscles in his sixth outing as Logan, AKA The Wolverine. Jackman stated he wanted to explore who the man was behind Logan – the mutant with Adamantium claws – and he manages to do so with James Mangold at the helm

So after five previous outings as Logan (we’re counting his brief appearance in X-Men: First Class), where can his new ‘vision’ take us? Well, based on an old and much Marvel comic book story arc, this time around Wolverine is enticed to visit Japan by Yukio and summoned to the deathbed of an old ‘friend’, Yashida, who states he can offer Wolverine mortality. Things being to take a dangerous turn when an attempt is made to kidnap Yashida’s daughter, Mariko. [Read more…]
