Seth MacFarlane Suggests Ted 2 Is Coming Spring 2015

By Leave a Comment

Ted-Movie-Poster-SXSWAfter the massive success of Ted, Universal was quick to sign Seth MacFarlane to make a sequel. However with his TV shows to run and a new live action film, A Million Ways To Die In The West, in post-production, it hasn’t been clear when he’d return to talking teddy bears.

Now MacFarlane has revealed on his Twitter page this week that he is aiming to release the comedy sequel Ted 2 in the spring of 2015. He said, ‘RT @JohnnyMctardo: @SethMacFarlane when is Ted 2? // We’re aiming for a 2015 Passover release date.’

Passover begins on Friday, April 3 in the 2015, which is also Easter weekend. It also means it’ll arrive ahead of what’s lining up to be a ridiculously massive and competitive summer movie seasons, with films such as Star Wars: Episode VII, Man of Steel 2 (with Batman), Jurassic Park IV and The Avengers: Age of Ultron slated for release that year.

Seth MacFarlane is expected to return as writer-director and the voice of Ted, along with Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett. Seth MacFarlane co-wrote the original Ted screenplay with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, who are also expected to return the sequel.

By Leave a Comment


Lone Survivor looks like it might be an interesting one and Universal obviously agree, as they slotted it in for a prime Oscar push, with a limited US release around Christmas before it goes wide next January. Now we get our first look at the Peter Berg movie, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch, Eric Bana, Emile Hirsch and Alexander Ludwig.

The movie is based on a failed 2005 mission, Operation Red Wing, which tasked four members of SEAL Team 10 (Wahlberg, Hirsch, Foster, Kitsch) to kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. However they were quickly compromised and came under attack. As the title suggests, it didn’t go well.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

2 Guns Red Band Trailer – Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg look hard

By Leave a Comment


Mark Wahlberg reteams with Contraband director Baltasar Kormakur, and adds Denzel Washington into the mix for 2 Gun, which hits cinemas on August 2nd in the US and August 16th in the UK. Now a new red band trailer has arrives to show us what we can expect from the movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in “2 Guns,” an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.

‘For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down.

‘When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.’ [Read more…]

Bingbing Li On For Transformers 4

By Leave a Comment

bingbing-liHollywood is very excited about China at the moment, due to the fact it’s fast become one of the biggest markets for cinema in the world. As a result there’s been a rush to include Chinese content in films, such as Iron Man 3, which even got a special cut for the country with extra Chinese scenes.

Transformers 4 is also keen to get in on the action and has promised to include a large number of Chinese actors, including one who’s being found via a reality TV contest. However now the first proper actor from China has been cast, Binbing Li.

There’s no news on who she will play, or indeed how China fits into the plot of the movie. The country is believed to play a fairly large part in film and scenes will be shot there. Bingbing Li will also be seen next year as Blink in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, so she’s going to have quite a blockbuster 2014.

The non-Chinese cast for Transformers 4 film includes Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles.

Ericson Core is best known for directing Invincible, which starred Mark Wahlberg. He got his start as a cinematographer on the likes of The Fast And The Furious and Daredevil. Production is scheduled to begin at the end of this year.
