Halle Berry Will Be The CIA Chief In Kingsman 2

By

halle-berryIt looks like there are a couple more Kingsman movies planned, as Deadline reports that not only is Halle Berry in talks to play the head of the CIA in Kingsman 2, but it’s part of a two-picture deal, suggesting a third movie in the series is already in the works. No deal has been signed yet, but it looks like Berry will take the role.

There’s not too much info on the plot, but we do know that Julianne Moore has signed up to play the villain. Having the CIA Chief involved also seems to confirm director Matthew Vaughn’s hint that the second movie may involve the American counterpart to the British spy action of Kingsman.

It’s not too surprising that Colin Firth won’t be back, but Taron Egerton will indeed return. The film will shoot this summer, with a June 16th, 2017 release date already set.

Julianne Moore May Be Kingsman 2’s Villain

By

julianne-mooreThe always excellent Julianne Moore might be bringing out her villainous side soon, as THR reports she’s been offered the bad guy role in Kingsman 2. Assuming she does sign up, Taron Egerton will be back in action trying to stop her.

There’s not too much info on the plot, and nothing about who Moore would be playing. However, in interviews Egerton has enthused about the script, and suggested the new villain is just a good, if not better, than Samuel L. Jackson in the first movie.

It’ not too surprising that Colin Firth won’t be back, but Matthew Vaughn will once more direct. The film will shoot this summer, with a June 16th, 2017 release date already set.

Jamie Foxx Will Be Robin Hood: Origins’ Little John

By

jamie-foxxSeveral Robin Hood movies have been in the works over the past few years, but one is now working its way towards the big screen, with the news, via THR, that Jamie Foxx has been cast as Little John in Robin Hood: Origins. Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders) is set to direct from a script by Joby Harold.

Taron Egerton is already onboard to play the title role. As the title suggests the movie will be about the legendary character’s early days. However it’s not going back too far, as it’s previously been reported that here Robin ‘returns from fighting in The Crusades and finds that Sherwood Forest is rife with corruption and evil. He forms a band of outlaws and they take matters into their own hands.’

It sounds like he might have brought back Little John with him, as Deadline suggests the character ‘starts out distrustful of Robin Hood (they fought on opposite sides), and then warms to the young hero in the gritty revisionist take on the legend.’ The film is expected to shoot this summer for release in 2017.

Eddie The Eagle Trailer – Taron Egerton & Hugh Jackman take on ski jumping

By

eddie-the-eagle-trailer-slideIf you’re British and can remember all the way back to the 80s, you’ll know who Eddie The Eagle is – a man who had a dream and made it real, even if he never had a chance of winning. Now his story has been made into a movie, with Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Eddie and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) as coach Bronson Peary.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Eddie the Eagle follows the realisation of the childhood dream of Michael Edwards (a.k.a Eddie), and his unflinching determination to become Great Britain’s first Olympic ski-jumper. Reluctantly aided by former ski-jumper Bronson Peary as his coach, Eddie is unwavering in his quest to reach the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. Eddie the Eagle is an uplifting, inspirational story that celebrates human spirit, passion, and one man’s refusal to accept defeat.’

Dexter Fletcher directs the film, with Matthew Vaughn producing. It’ll be in UK cinemas next April. [Read more…]
