New Truth or Dare Trailer – Tyler Posey & Lucy Hale get into some supernatural horror

By

Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions company have managed to almost monopolise popular horror with everything from Get Out and the Paranormal Activity series to Insidious and The Purge. The producer is hoping to add another hit to the list with Truth or Dare (although I think it’s fair to say it won’t be matching Get Out’s Oscar success).

Synopsis: ‘Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) and Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) lead the cast of Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare, a supernatural thriller from Blumhouse Productions (Happy Death Day, Get Out, Split). A harmless game of “Truth or Dare” among friends turns deadly when someone-or something-begins to punish those who tell a lie-or refuse the dare.

‘Directed by Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2), the thriller co-stars Violett Beane, Nolan Gerard Funk, Hayden Szeto and Sophia Taylor Ali. The film was produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and executive produced by Wadlow.’

The film is due in cinemas in the UK on April 13th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Mary Poppins Returns Trailer – The magical nanny is back in the form of Emily Blunt

By

It’s fair to day there are still plenty of people who are unsure whether Disney should be making a belated sequel to one of the true classics of family cinema, Mary Poppins. However, the first teaser trailer has arrived to try and convince us it’ll be worth having the magical nanny back, in the form of Emily Blunt this time – and it has to be said, it does a good job.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Mary Poppins Returns” stars: Emily Blunt as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure; Lin-Manuel Miranda as her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London; Ben Whishaw as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks; and Julie Walters as the Banks’ housekeeper Ellen; with Colin Firth as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank’s William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep as Mary’s eccentric cousin, Topsy. The film also introduces three new Banks’ children played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth’s character.

‘The film is directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay by David Magee and screen story by Magee & Marshall & John DeLuca based upon The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers. The producers are Marshall, DeLuca and Marc Platt with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer and the music is by Marc Shaiman with songs by Shaiman and Scott Wittman.’

Take a look at the teaser trailer and poster below. The film will be in cinemas in December. [Read more…]

Chris Hemsworth May Join The Planned Men in Black Spinoff

By

For the past few years, Sony Pictures has been enviously eyeing the massive franchises other studios have built, to the point they were so keen for Spider-man to properly work out for them, they handed the reigns to Disney-controlled Marvel to help get it right. Their plan to rejuvenate Ghostbusters didn’t quite work out as they’d hoped, but now they’re panning to put one of the stars of that movie in a reboot of the Men In Black franchise.

Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, is in early talks to star in the movie, acording to THR. He would lead a brand new cast (Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith won’t be returning), with the other main character being a female of color and an older man, who would go on a worldwide adventure based in the undercover alien world of MiB.

There will be some behind-the-scenes continuity with the trilogy of movies that grossed over $1.5 billion, as Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald will once more produce, with Steven Spielberg taking executive producer duties again. F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton, The Fate Of The Furious) is in talks to direct the movie, from a script by Iron Man’s Matt Holloway and Art Marcum. It should be in cinemas June 2019.

Wonder Woman 2 May Get Kristen Wiig As Its Villain

By

While there was plenty of talk about how Wonder Woman was a sign that sexual equality in the world of superheroes wasn’t as impossible as some studio executives seemed to think. However, it’s not just the in the ranks of heroes where there’s been a lack of women – the supervillains have tended to be men too.

However, Wonder Woman 2 is looking at adding a female baddie, with Deadline reporting the Kristen Wiig is in talks to play Cheetah in the movie.

Gal Gadot will once more be back in the title role, with Patty Jenkins returning to direct the movie, which will be set during the Cold War in the 1980s. Nothing else is known about the plot, and while we may know Wiig is being lined up to play CHeetah, we don’t know which one, as there have been four incarnations of the villain over the years. All of the Cheetahs over the years have possessed feline characteristics, but some have had superpowers while other didn’t, so there’s plenty of scope for how the character will be used in the movie.

Wonder Woman 2 is currently set for released November 1st, 2019.
