A Great Cast Unites For Some Black Panther Character Posters

November 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Thor: Ragnarok may be tearing up the box office at the moment, but Marvel doesn’t want us to forget that it’s just a few months until they’ve got another movie in cinemas that looks like it’s gonna be a winner – Black Panther. To help us get to know the characters, a set of really nice character posters have been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.’

The film will be in cinemas next February. Take a look at the character posters below, and click here for the latest trailer. [Read more…]

Black Panther Trailer – Chadwick Boseman looks like a great addition to the Marvel family

October 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While we met Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, next February he’s getting his own adventure. The first full trailer has now arrived, and it looks like it could be another great Marvel movie.

Kristen Stewart May Lead A New Charlie’s Angels Movie

September 30, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After Twilight and Snow White & The Huntsman, Kristen Stewart has spent the majority of her time making indie movies and more dramatic porjects. However, if Sony gets their way, she’ll be coming back to the big budget mainstream as one of a new band of Charlie’s Angels.

Variety reports that the studio and director Elizabeth Banks are looking at Stewart, although it doesn’t appear Kristen is ready to sign up just yet. She is apparently near the top of a list that includes several other actresses being considered for the kick-ass team, including Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o.

The planned film will reboot the franchise once more, following the 1970s TV shows, the early 2000s movies (which starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu), and a short-lived 2011 TV reinvention. It will again follow a team of female private detectives, although not much is known about whether the plot or how it will handle the Angels concept.

Black Panther Teaser Trailer – Take a look at Marvel’s latest adventure

June 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We first met Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa / Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. He’ll be back with his own standalone adventure early next year. Marvel has now released the first teaser trailer for the movie, which suggests he’s going to fit in well with their filmic universe as it introduces us to the mysterious world of Wakanda.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.’

The movie will be in cinemas February 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Will Black Panther Make The Marvel Universe A Bit More Gay?

April 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

There’s been growing criticism of Marvel and DC’s superhero universes (as well as Fox’s X-Men), that despite a wealth of LGBT characters and stories in the comic books, the movies have stayed resolutely straight. However, now some footage has screened suggested that Marvel will be getting a little more gay with the upcoming Black Panther.

The film will feature Walking Dead star Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba (who also played the same role in Captain America: Civil War, and Lupita Nyong’o as the Dora Milaje, who in the comics serve as the ceremonial guard of Black Panther, and help protect the Wakandan royal family. The footage that’s screened suggests the movie will be taking some of the storyline of the 2016 comic World of Wakanda by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which focused on the relationship between Ayo and Aneka (played in the movie by Gurira and Kasumba).

Vanity Fair reports that in the footage, ‘We see Gurira’s Okoye and Kasumba’s Ayo swaying rhythmically back in formation with the rest of their team. Okoye eyes Ayo flirtatiously for a long time as the camera pans in on them. Eventually, she says, appreciatively and appraisingly, “You look good.” Ayo responds in kind. Okoye grins and replies, “I know.”’

The magazine suggests this will be a more prominent LGBT storyline than the ‘exclusively gay moment’ in Beauty & The Beast that left many feeling underwhelmed. However, it’s difficult to know whether they’re basing this solely on the scene shown in the preview footage, as if so, we may still be left with something that hints about the characters’ sexuality without actually saying it. We will just have to wait and see, although it is telling that Disney/Marvel chose to screen a scene with very obvious gay undertones as part of the few minutes of footage they showed. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in the movie.

Black Panther is due in cinemas February 2018, with Chadwick Boseman reprising the title role which he first played in Captain America: Civil War.

Lupita Nyong’o Up For Marvel’s Black Panther

May 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lupita-nyongoChadwick Boseman’s Black Panther has already made its first appearance in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, ahead of a stand alone movie planned for 2018. The movie now has a new name attached, as THR reports that Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to star in the movie.

It’s not known who Nyong’o would play in the film, but she’s described as the title character’s love interest in the Ryan Coogler directed movie.

Black Panther is the chieftain of the Panther Clan in the fictional African country of Wakanda. His powers are derived from a special herb that grants him superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. Andy Serkis is also onboard as the villainous Ulysses Klaue, with Martin Freeman also expected to show up as Everett Ross. Marvel first dropped hints about this long-awaited project in Iron Man 2, where the map of Wakanda was briefly displayed. However, it took them longer to perfect the script than originally planned, moving the character’s movie back to 2018.

See Lupita Nyong’o, Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba & More Next To Their CG Jungle Book Animals

March 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Jungle-Book-actors1-slideThere are quite a few famous names we will hear but not see in Disney’s upcoming live-action take on The Jungle. All the animals will be CGI, but many will be voiced by well-known actors. It’s a great idea then to release a set of pics showing us the actors alongside their computer-generated counterparts.

The pics feature Idris Elba with Shere Khan, Scarlett Johansson with Kaa, Lupita Nyong’o with Raksha, Ben Kingsley with Bagheera, Christopher Walken with King Louie and Giancarlo Esposito with Akela.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat.

‘Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

The film will be in cinemas in April. Take a look at the new pics below. [Read more…]

Lupita Nyong’o May Team With Selma Director Ava DuVernay For Intelligent Life

February 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lupita-nyongo

It looks like Selma director Ava DuVernay may soon be a very busy woman, as Deadline reports that she’s being courted for both Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time and Colin Trevorrow’s Intelligent Life. And if she takes the latter, she may already have a star, as it’s suggested Lupita Nyong’o is in talks for the movie.

Until recently it looked like Jurassic World’s Trevorrow was going to direct Intelligent Life himself, but now he’s looking to pass the reins and is likely to offer the job to DeVernay very soon. The movie is about a UN worker in a department designed to represent mankind if there was ever contact with aliens, who falls for a mystery woman who turns out to be an alien. Nyong’o would be the alien lady.

A Wrinkle In Time meanwhile is based on Madeleine L’Engle fantasy classic novel, about ‘a young girl whose father, a government scientist, has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract, which involves being transported to a fifth dimension with mysterious inhabited planets.’

It’s not known whether DeVernay will have time to make both movies, or whether she’ll have to pick one over the other.

Lupita Nyong’o To Star In Americanah, With Brad Pitt Producing

June 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lupita-nyongoA Best Supporting Actress Oscar can be a bit of a mixed blessing – if you look through the list of winners there are a surprising amount whose blossoming career pretty much stalled the moment they won – but Lupita Nyong’o doesn’t look like she’ll be amongst them.

Earlier this week she signed on to appear in Star Wars: Episode VII, and now THR reports that Lupita Nyong’o is developing Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah as a starring vehicle for herself. She will also produce, and she’s getting some help from 12 Years A Slave’s Brad Pitt on that score too (at the moment there’s no suggestion he will also star.

Americanah is a love story about young Nigerians Ifemelu and Obinze; ‘a romance that spans continents, visas, phone cards and breakups, while exploring the cruelties and the humor of both the modern immigrant experience and the difficulty of finding your way home. The novel was the winner of the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction and was selected as one of the 10 best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, the BBC and Newsday.’

Nyong’o commented, “It is such an honor to have the opportunity to bring Ms. Adichie’s brilliant book to the screen. Page after page I was struck by Ifemelu and Obinze’s stories, whose experiences as African immigrants are so specific and also so imminently relatable. It is a thrilling challenge to tell a truly international story so full of love, humor and heart.”
