There’s been interest in remaking Joel Schumacher’s cult film, Flatliners, you a long time, but its taken quite a few years for a new take to arrive. The likes of Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts have been replaced with Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemons.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Flatliners, five medical students, obsessed by the mystery of what lies beyond the confines of life, embark on a daring and dangerous experiment: by stopping their hearts for short periods of time, each triggers a near-death experience – giving them a firsthand account of the afterlife. But as their experiments become increasingly dangerous, they are each haunted by the sins of their pasts, brought on by the paranormal consequences of trespassing to the other side.’
The first trailer and poster for the film have now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The movie will be in UK cinemas on September 29th. [Read more…]
It’s not a good day when you end up a in wasteland inhabited by bloodthirsty cannibals. However, in The Bad Batch there’s an area of Texas that’s no longer Texas, as it’s been abandoned by the United States and they’re having nothing to do with anyone who enters it – and that’s at least partly due to the cannibals.
Although nobody has asked for a remake of Scarface, for several years Hollywood has been working on one. However, at least some talent has been involved, with Harry PaDavid Yates producing (and thinking about directing) and Pablo Larraín thinking about directing, before Antoine Fuqua signed on to helm.
While there have been rumours of trouble behind the scenes of Rogue One, with Disney said to be concerned about the tone, and the need for extensive reshoots, in the past few weeks the vibes seem to have been improving for the first of the planned movies that take place outside the main Star Wars story arc. The final trailer has now arrived, which certainly makes it look like this could be a good one.
While the first teaser trailer for Rogue One was pretty cool, there have been rumours of trouble behind the scenes, with Disney said to be concerned about the tone, and the need for extensive reshoots. However, the latest trailer continues to make this look like it could be awesome. It certainly has a different feel to The Force Awakens, and it’s not surprising they have gone for a slightly 1970s look, as the film is set just before A New Hope.
Now this is an interesting one. There was a lot riding on the trailer for Rogue One after the success of The Force Awakens, as not only did it have to show it wasn’t a follow-up to last year’s movie but it also needed to show those uncertain about it that it wasn’t just a shameless cash-in on the Star Wars name.
