New Ghost In The Shell Trailer – Scarlett Johannson takes on the classic Japanese anime

By

There’s been a bit of controversy of the live-action film version of Ghost In The Shell, and whether it’s right for Scarlett Johannson to play a character who was always Japanese in the original anime the movie is based on. Whatever people’s thoughts on whitewashing, the movie is on its way, and it’s managed to gain quite a lot of hype, partly thanks to some great visuals. A new, final trailer has arrived, that once more showcases this sci-fi world.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world’s most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people’s minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, “The Ghost in the Shell.”’

The movie will be in cinemas this Friday. Take a look at the final trailer below. [Read more…]

Robert Rodriguez May Direct The Remake Of Escape From New York

By

For several years, Hollywood has been talking about remaking John Carpenter’s 1981 classic, Escape From New York. A couple of time it got to the point of casting, before it was called off and plans were put on the back burner.

Now though it’s been given new life, with the news that Robert Rodriguez is in talks to helm a new take on the movie, according to THR. He follows in the footsteps of the likes of Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner and Breck Eisner, who have previously tried get it off the ground.

The original starred Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, a one-eyed convict in a future where New York has been turned into a maximum-security prison for the most dangerous criminals. Snake is tasked with rescuing the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence), who is being held captive by a dangerous inmate (Isaac Hayes) after his plane crashes into the city.

Neil Cross (Lucifer) wrote the most recent version of the remake script. John Carpenter is executive producing the project, which 20th Century Fox is hoping will be the launchpad for a major franchise. The hope is to start shooting towards the end of the year.

Colin Farrell May Star In Tim Burton’s Take On Disney’s Dumbo

By

It seems Disney and Tim Burton have diverse thoughts about who would be good to fill the shoes of the main male role in their planned live action version of Dumbo. Will Smith, Chris Pine, and Casey Affleck have all looked at and passed on the part, and now it’s the turn of Colin Farrell, who’s in talks for the role, according to Variety.

The plot of the film will revolve both around the baby elephant with enormous ears, as well as some children that befriend him. Assuming he signs on, Farrell would play the father of those children (earlier reports suggest the role is the ringmaster of the circus Dumbo is part of, although other rumours say that may no longer be true).

Eva Green and Danny DeVito are already attached to the movie. It appears the film will shoot this year, although Disney is yet to set a release date.

Sony is hoping that love for Tom Holland’s take on Spider-man will extend past Captain America: Civil War, and that plenty of people will turn up for Spider-man: Homecoming. To help get people excited, a couple of new posters have now shown up.
