Doug Liman’s last movie was told on a massive scale, with Edge Of Tomorrow having huge sets, special effects. However, for his new movie, he’s paring things back to single location, but it’s a location with plenty of potential.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Wall” follows two soldiers pinned down by an Iraqi sniper, with nothing but a crumbling wall between them. Their fight becomes as much a battle of will and wits as it is of lethally accurate marksmanship. Directed by Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Edge of Tomorrow”), “The Wall” stars Aaron Taylor Johnson (“Nocturnal Animals,” Kick-Ass,” “Savages” “Godzilla,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”) and WWE star John Cena (“Trainwreck,” “Daddy’s Home”), Written by first-time screenwriter Dwain Worrell, “The Wall,” was produced by Amazon Studios, Big Indie Pictures and Picrow. The film is produced by David Bartis. Executive Producer is Ray Angelic. Associate Producer is Alison Winter. FilmNation is handling international sales.’

The Fifty Shades movies are a peculiar phenomenon. The first trailer for Fifty Shades Darker broke the record for most views in 24 hours, but it’s a franchise that barely seems to register for those who didn’t immediately watch the trailer, with very people in between.

After watching this trailer, you can almost seen the first few meetings for the latest Transformers movie, where they were trying to figure out what the hell they were going to do, so it wouldn’t seem exactly like the previous ones. Normally when that happens with a film series, they send the characters on holiday for the next sequel, but that wouldn’t really work for Optimus Prime and co, so they’ve gone for the other standby – time-travel.
