By

Shiny lycra, men in monster suits, stunningly cheap looking special effects – that’s what Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is all about, right? Well, not any more, as for its movie reboot it’s been given a bigger budget and some far better production values.

Colossal Trailer – Anne Hathaway discovers she’s mentally linked to a monster attack

By

When Colossal debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, it got a bit of a mixed reaction, partially because it seemed some critics didn’t quite know what to make of it. Now a trailer has arrived, which suggests that perhaps they can’t be blamed for being a little perplexed, as it looks like a strange one.

Anne Hathaway plays Gloria, an ordinary woman who, after losing her job and her fiancé (Dan Stevens), decides to leave her life in New York to move back to her hometown. But when news reports surface that a giant lizard is destroying Seoul, Gloria comes to realise that she is connected to these far-off events via the power of her mind. In order to prevent further destruction, Gloria needs to determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

And as this trailer shows, that’s when it gets really bizarre.

Jason Sudeikis also stars, with Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes) directing. Take a look below. [Read more…]

Donald Glover & James Earl Jones Join Live-Action Lion King Remake

By

Disney is being remaking just about every animated movie it’s ever made as a live action project. So far it’s been far more successful than anyone expected, as even some that seemed like bad ideas, such as The Jungle Book, turned into a huge hit. The Lion King however is another proposition again, as it doesn’t have any humans in it at all, but with the stage version being a colossal success, it shows it certainly has potential in the live-action arena.

Now Disney is moving forward with the movie, with Jungle Book helmer Jon Favreau set to direct and the cast coming together. Favreau has now revealed that Donald Glover has come onboard to be Simba, while James Earl Jones will return to the Savannah, once more playing Mufasa.

So far the movie doesn’t have a release date, but with casting underway, it seems likely the movie will shoot this year, probably for release in 2019 – after all, it’s going to need an awful lot of special effects work, which will inevitably take some time. Take a look at Favreau’s tweets announcing the news below. [Read more…]

Sam Raimi Is Planning A Movie About The Bermuda Triangle

By

Sam Raimi has been taking his time between movies. After three Spider-man films in five years between 2002 and 2007, we’ve only had Drag Me To Hell and Oz the Great and Powerful in the last decade. While he has several things in the works, he’s just added another as THR reports that he’s teaming up with Skydance Productions for a movie about the Bermuda Triangle.

There’s no details about the plot of the film, but it will inevitably revolve around the area between Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico, where legend says ships, planes and anything else that enters it can disappear even in calm seas. It’s not the only film about the supposed phenomenon in the works, as Universal and Warner Bros. are also working on Bermuda Triangle movies.

Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard wrote the script for the movie Raimi is attached to, which is described as a mystery thriller. The film has been in the works for several years, with Skydance hoping that Raimi’s involvement will finally get it made.
