The MTV Movie Awards offered the chance to get our first peak at a couple of highly anticipated new movie, most notably Kong: Skull Island and Luce Besson’s Valerian & The City Of A Thousand Planets.
Oscar-winner Brie Larson takes us to the set of Kong: Skull Island, which focuses on the action and excitement of the film. Tom Hiddleston and Corey Hawkins are also on hand talk up the movie, letting us know that it’s set during the Vietnam era and see a group of adventurers and military getting far more than they bargained for when they arrive on the uncharted Skull Island. It confirms that King Kong will be a bit part of the story, but also that it completely reboots things, as the giant gorilla was never taken to New York and isn’t the last of his kind.
Valerian & The City Of A Thousand Planets meanwhile is based on a classic novel, which as is pointed out in the footage below, helped inspire the likes of Star Wars and Avatar. Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne star in Luc Besson’s film version, which offers up a behind-the-scenes look in the footage below. In the original graphic novel, Valérian and Laureline are 28th Century agents working for the Galaxity organization, whose adventures take them across time and space. However after Galaxity and their home planet disappear, they are left to forge a future on their own. [Read more…]
It’s just over a month until the Apocalypse! Well, until X-Men: Apocalypse anyway, and in anticipation, 20th Century Fox has released a set of character banners mutants old and new. You can take a look at them below.
For the past few years Scott Eastwood has seemed on the verge of making it big, but while he’s often been in the mix for major roles, he’s often failed to make the final cut. For example he will be seen in a small role in this summer’s Suicide Squad, but be missed out on several other massive Marvel and DC roles he was up for.
Hugh Jackman has suggested that after the next Wolverine movie he’ll be done with the character (although he’s said that before), so if this is his swansong, you’d hope he’d have a good baddie to fight against. Now we may know who’ll be playing that villain, as Deadline reports that Narcos star Boyd Holbrook is in talks for the role.
It surprised many when it was announced that Marvel and Sony had done a deal that would allows Spider-man to show up in Captain America: Civil War, as well as for Marvel to provide some creative direction for a new stand-alone Spidey movie. What wasn’t clear at the time was whether that would mean any of the Marvel universe character would show up in the Spider-man film.
After a very long wait, the film version of Warcraft is almost upon us. The trailers we’ve had have tended to concentrate on the movie’s intricate fantasy world, so it’s worth releasing this new set of character posters, which introduce to some of the people and creatures we’ll get to meet.
Over the past couple of years, if there’s been Red Band trailer for a Zac Efron movie, you could pretty much guarantee it would feature him in a state of semi-undress at some point. Now we have one for Neighbours 2 which does offer some slow-motion Zac shirtlessness and tiny orange shorts, but it appears that Seth Rogen also wanted to show off his pecs (or lack thereof), as he’s equally topless.
While there are still people who cringe at the very thought of Ricky Gervais as David Brent in The Office, there’s no doubt he was an incredibly popular character for many. Now Gervais is bringing him back for a movie, David Brent: Life on the Road, which has just released its first teaser.
Not too long ago The Rosie Project looked like it was going to bring together the interesting duo of Jennifer Lawrence and Richard Linklater. However when she decided to make Darren Aronofsky’s next film, they both left the film behind.
Now this is an interesting one. There was a lot riding on the trailer for Rogue One after the success of The Force Awakens, as not only did it have to show it wasn’t a follow-up to last year’s movie but it also needed to show those uncertain about it that it wasn’t just a shameless cash-in on the Star Wars name.
