Connie Nielsen Signs Up To Be Wonder Woman’s Mom

By

connie-nielsenWonder Woman has been shooting for a while, but it hasn’t finished adding actors to its cast, as THR reports that Connie Nielsen has signed on, to play the superheroine’s mother, Hippolyta. She’ll now head for the set of the movie, which is currently shooting in the UK and Italy.

We still don’t know a vast amount about the movie, although it’s recently been confirmed that it will be set during World War I. It’s likely to follow at least the basics of the character’s origin story, with Chris Pine as a soldier who ends up injured and stranded on the island of Amazonia, where he is nursed back to health by Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. She then follows him to America, where she disguises herself as a normal person called Diana Prince between her bouts of being a hero.

However, we don’t know what Gadot and co. will be up against, or indeed how Hippolyta figures into this – although it’s likely that as Queen of the Amazonians, she won’t be too happy about her daughter leaving home.

Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Elena Anaya, and Lucy Davis also star. The movie will be in cinemas June 23rd, 2017.

Batman, Superman & Wonder Woman Gets Dawn Of Justice Character Posters

By

batman-v-superman-character-postersIt feels like the summer blockbuster season is starting earlier and earlier each year. A couple of years ago a massive movie like Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice wouldn’t have arrived until May at the earliest, but instead it’s arriving in March.

That means that once Star Wars is out of the way, we’re likely to get saturation hype for the film, as Warner Bros. has a lot riding on it. This isn’t just the first time the Man Of Steel and the Caped Crusader have been in a live-action movie together, it’s going to kick-off an entire interconnected DC Comics universe, and introduce us to the likes of Aquaman, The Flash and Wonder Woman, leading up to a two part Justice League extravaganza.

Wonder Woman is expected to play a major role in Dawn Of Justice, and to underline that, Gal Gadot’r lasso wielding superhero has now got a character poster, alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman. You can see them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’ [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer – Henry Cavill & Ben Affleck don’t see eye-to-eye

By

batman-v-superman-face-off-slideNext March Warner Bros./DC is making its massive bid for a superhero universe of its own with Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. However while much has been teased about Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck’s Man Of Steel and Caped Crusader not being fans of one another, but the new trailer also gives us a glimpse of Wonder Woman and the fact that she may be key to getting the bat and alien to work together.

It also features Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor and shows us that we haven’t completely seen the end of Michael Shannon’s Zod.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

Triple 9 Trailer – Chitwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson & Aaron Paul star

By

Triple-9---trailer-grab-1Triple 9, from The Road and Lawless director John Hillcoat certainly has a good cast, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson, Aaron Paul, Anthony Mackie, Norman Reedus, Gal Gadot and Clifton Collins Jr.

Now we get our first taste with a trailer, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realize the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. The chaos that ensues when a police officer is shot in the line of duty is just the diversion they’ll need to do the job, but whether they have the will to kill one of their own is an entirely different matter. Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.’

The film is due out in the UK on February 19th, 2016. [Read more…]
