The First Poster For Aquaman Has Arrived

By

Justice League may not have been the greatest introduction to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, but hopefully when his solo film arrives, it’ll be more Wonder Woman than Batman vs Superman. The first poster for the movie has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.

We’ve been promised the first trailer this weekend, to coincide with the film’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con. It’ll be interested to see what it looks like (hopefully less cartoony than Justice League’s underwater world).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed by James Wan (“The Conjuring” films, “Furious 7”) and starring Jason Momoa in the title role, AQUAMAN also stars Amber Heard (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike XXL”) as Mera; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (“Platoon,” “Spider-Man 2”) as Vulko; Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” “Green Lantern”) as Tom Curry; Dolph Lundgren (“The Expendables” films) as Nereus; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (upcoming “Baywatch,” Netflix’s “The Get Down”) as Black Manta; with Patrick Wilson (“The Conjuring” films, “Watchmen”) as Orm/Ocean Master; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (“The Hours,” “Lion”) as Atlanna.’

The film will arrive in cinemas in December. [Read more…]

First Official Look At Zachary Levi Going DC Superhero In Shazam

By

The first pic of Zachary Levi is keen to show that while DC has tried to build its superhero franchise with a grittier look and feel than Marvel, it’s going in a different direction with Shazam. That’s evident from the first official pic, showing Zachary Levi in a rather snazzy looking suit, having some all-american cola with a friend.

Shazam (also known as Captain Marvel, although you can see why they’d avoid that name) is the superhero alter-ego of a boy called Billy Batson. The hero has the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury. While not particularly well known today outside comic book circles, he was the biggest selling character of the 1940s.

It’s believed the first footage from the movie will be screened at San Diego Comic Con later this month. Hopefully Warner will release it publicly so we all get to see. The movie itself is due out April 2019.

New Christopher Robin Trailer – Disney brings Winnie The Pooh to live-action life

By

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the heartwarming live action adventure, the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.

‘Disney’s “Christopher Robin” is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder and a story by Perry based on characters created by A.A. Milne. The producers are Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr with Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns serving as executive producers. The film stars Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin; Hayley Atwell as his wife Evelyn; Bronte Carmichael as his daughter Madeline; and Mark Gatiss as Keith Winslow, Robin’s boss. The film also features the voices of: Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh; Chris O’Dowd as Tigger; Brad Garrett as Eeyore; Toby Jones as Owl; Nick Mohammed as Piglet; Peter Capaldi as Rabbit; and Sophie Okonedo as Kanga.’

Wonder Park Trailer – A little girl’s imagination comes to animated life

By

Wonder Park’s synopsis doesn’t tell us a lot, just saying, ‘Wonder Park tells the story of a magnificent amusement park where the imagination of a wildly creative girl named June comes alive.’ However, the first trailer has arrived to give us a better taste of what could be a fun film.

It’s also got a pretty good voice cast, including Jennifer Garner, Matthew Broderick, John Oliver, Mila Kunis, Kenan Thompson, Ken Jeong, Norbert Leo Butz, and Ken Hudson Campbell.

Not all has gone smoothly with the movie, as the original director, Dylan Brown, was removed from the film following multiple accusations of harassment and inappropriate conduct. No replacement has been announced yet. Take a look at the trailer below. The film is due out early 2019. [Read more…]

Welcome to Marwen Trailer – Steve Carell creates a miniature world for Robert Zemeckis

By

Director Robert Zemeckis returns with Welcome To Marwen, which some think may be in the award season running next year (although it’s way too early to say). It’s certainly being lined up for one with a late 2018 release planned.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Welcome to Marwen tells the miraculous true story of one broken man’s fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human spirit. When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation—a testament to the most powerful women he knows—through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.

‘In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination…you’ll find courage in the most unexpected place.’

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
