Every so often, Charlize Theron wants to kick ass, or that’s how it seems. Whether it’s Aeon Flux, Fury Road or now Atomic Blonde, she is good at taking names and looking badass doing it. In Atomic Blonde. based on Antony Johnston’s graphic novel The Coldest Winter, that involves her beating up a lot of men, and getting sexy with a female French operative.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.
‘A blistering blend of sleek action, gritty sexuality and dazzling style, Atomic Blonde is directed by David Leitch (John Wick, upcoming Deadpool 2). Also starring John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella and Toby Jones, the film is based on the Oni Press graphic novel “The Coldest City,” by Antony Johnston & illustrator Sam Hart. Kurt Johnstad (300) wrote the screenplay.’

Among the many classic animated movies Disney is planning to bring into the live-action arena is The Little Mermaid. However, they’ve been beaten to the punch by a rather different film that may share the same title but isn’t exactly Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale – although it certainly share a similar inspiration.
Deadpool 2 will be introducing us to some more new mutants we haven’t seen on the big screen before, and one who’ll be taking a major role is Domino, the expert marksman whose abilities allow her to alter the laws of probability, allowing her to control things such as bullets that are in her field of vision. While a few name have been rumoured for the role, it’s now been revealed that Zazie Beetz will take on the role.
We still can’t believe that Vin Diesel is really going to go against the crew he’s bonded with over the last five movies, but the promos so far for Fast & Furious 8 certainly suggest that (don’t be shocked if in the actual movie it turns out not to be quite as clear cut as that). Now a new trailer has arrived, which wants to show that while they might be shaking up the formula a little, there’ll still be a lot of OTT action.
Will this be the female Hangover? It’s certainly got that vibe, with a group of friends having a raunchy, foul-mouthed night out ahead of a wedding. It’s also got a great cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz.
For many years, Dean Devlin has a master of disaster, producing the likes of Independence Day and 1998’s Godzilla. However, it’s only now that he’s stepping into the director’s chair, and he’s certainly hoping to destroy a lot of the world in the process.
