The Predator Trailer – The alien hunter is back & just as deadly

By

There have been a couple of attempts to reinvigorate the Predator franchise, whether it’s been getting them to battle Aliens or taking us to their planet in Robert Rodriguez’s Predators. Fox finally seemed to have given up on it, until Iron Man 3’s Shane Black rocked up with a new idea and suddenly, The Predator was in the works.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.’

Black wrote the script and also directs, with Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey, and Yvonne Strahovski starring. The film will be in cinemas on September 12th. Take a look at the lastest trailer below. [Read more…]

The Nice Guys (Blu-ray Review)

By

nice-guys-slideStarring: Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, Matt Bomer, Angourie Rice, Margaret Qualley
Directed By: Shane Black
Running Time: 116 mins
BBFC Certificate: 15
UK Release Date: September 26th 2016

Our Score

While writer/director Shane Black had a huge success with Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys takes him back to what he does best – crime thrillers with a dash of noir and plenty of comedy. This time around, the writer of Lethal Weapon and director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang takes us to the 1970s with The Nice Guys.

Holland March (Ryan Gosling) is a private eye. He’s also a functioning alcoholic trying to be a single parent to his daughter. He accidentally gets involved with enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe), after Holland’s case looking into the apparent suicide of a porn star called Misty Mountains crosses paths with Healy’s job involving a missing young woman called Amelia.

Benicio Del Toro May Star In Predator Reboot

By

benicio-del-toroFox certainly feels there’s more life in the Predator franchise, as despite little love of the Alien Vs Predator films, and a likewarm reception for 2010’s Predators, it’s pushing ahead with a new movie, currently titled The Predator. This time it looks like they’re trying to get a little starpower, as Variety reports that Benicio Del Toro is in talks to star.

Part of the reason Fox is willing to pump a fair amount of cash into this project is the presences of Shane Black, the Lethal Weapon writer who’s turned into a a bit of a directing force with the likes of Iron Man 3 and The Nice Guys. It was his concept that got The Predator off the ground, and he’s co-writing and directing the movie.

We don’t know too much about the movie, although Black has said it will be about a man called Quinn Mackenna, which may or may not be Del Toro’s role. There may also be space for Arnie to reprise his role from the original movie. It’s currently due in cinemas in 2017.

During their investigation, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power.

Joel Silver (“Non-Stop,” “The Matrix” films, the “Sherlock Holmes” films) produced the film under his Silver Pictures banner. Ken Kao, Hal Sadoff, Alex Walton and Michael J. Malone served as executive producers.

‘The behind-the-scenes creative team included Oscar-winning director of photography Philippe Rousselot (“A River Runs Through It,” the “Sherlock Holmes” films), production designer Richard Bridgland (“Serena,” “Unknown”), editor Joel Negrón (“21 Jump Street,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”), and costume designer Kym Barrett (“The Matrix” films, “The Amazing Spider-Man”).
