Marvel’s Black Panther will be the first mega-budget comic book movie led by a black superhero (and no, we’re not counting the likes of Blade as mega-budget), and the Comic Book company is certainly keen to pull together a great cast for the movie. Chadwick Boseman has already been seen as the title character in Captain America: Civil War, with Lupita Nyong’o in talks to join him, while Andy Serkis will be the villain and it’s also believed Martin Freeman’s government agent Everett Ross will show up.
Laverne Cox is certainly rocking a different look here, swapping the Orange Is The New Black prison clothes for the fishnets and leather of Fox’s new take on The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Movies sure like the idea of a world after an apocalypse, and now it’s Ellen Page & Evan Rachel Wood’s turn to head for a wasteland, near-future world with Into The Forest. The film debuted at the end of last year at the Toronto International Film Festival to pretty good reviews, and now we have a trailer.
Due to premiere soon at Cannes, the first trailer for Hell or High Water has now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The movie stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster, but they’re certainly not in pretty-boy mode.
The reports from those who saw the first footage gushed that it looked like once again Life Of Pi helmer Ang Lee had produced an incredible looking movie. Now we get to take a look for ourselves with the first teaser trailer. It certainly does a great job of suggesting this could be one hell of a movie and real Oscar contender.
A few weeks ago it was revealed that Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson were in talks to start in the planned reboot of Jumanji. Now it turns out Hart isn’t the only funnyman in the mix, as 
Chadwick 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 
Videogames-to-movies don’t have a great reputation, but that’s partly because the resulting film are often cheesy and have a slightly cheap, churned-out feeling. However Fox seems to be really hoping to change that with Assassin’s Creed by spending a lot of money, bringing together a great cast, a director with great dramatic credentials and ensuring the whole thing looks really good.
Parched looks like it could be a great little world, focussing on a quartet of women living in a society that seems determined to make them powerless, subjugated and potentially subject to violence with inpunity, but who manage to find strength in one another.
