By

Allegiant-Character-Poster-slideDivergent returns early next year with Allegiant, which has now debuted its first full trailer, which you can watch below, along with taking a look at a couple of character posters.

First Pic Of Chris Pine On The Wonder Woman Set Arrives

By

chris-pine-wonder-woman1Back in May Chris Pine signed on to play an important role in Warner/DC’s planned standalone Wonder Woman movie, and now he’s on the set all ready to be Steve Trevor.

An image of him in costume for the role has popped up on Twitter, showing that as has been speculated, the movie will definitely be set in the past (some had wondered if it would be brought to the present day due to Wonder Woman’s appearance in next year’s Batman vs Superman). That said, rumours suggest the second half of the film may move to the present day, although it’s not known if some sort of time travel device will allow Pine’s character to come along for the ride.

In the comics, Steve Trevor  crash lands on the Amazons’ home island of Paradise during World War II. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) falls for him after she nurses him back to health, and then when he returns to America she follows him – becoming Diana Prince, who in true comic fashion, Steve doesn’t realise is the same person as the hero, Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman is due out June 2017.

Tracy Morgan Up for Lee Daniels’ Richard Pryor Biopic

By

tracy-morganFollowing his terrible vehicle accident, it’s taken Tracy Morgan a long time to get his health back and be ready to start working again. He’s made a few TV appearances, including hosting SNL, and now he’s ready to book a full acting gig, as the 30 Rock star is in talks to play legendary comedian Red Foxx in the long-gestating biopic of Richard Pryor.

The film has been in the works for years, but got new life recently with Lee Daniels (Precious, Empire) taking the director’s chair, Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) and Danny Strong (Empire) writing the script, and Mike Epps playing the iconic Pryor.

Foxx and Pryor played important roles in each others’ career, with Pryor getting his start as the opening act and Foxx’s comedy club. Then, once Pryor became famous, he repaid the favour by helping get Foxx onto Hollywood’s radar, resulting in the iconic sitcom, Sanford & Son.

Oprah Winfrey is also on board as Pryor’s grandmother, with Eddie Murphy and Taraji P. Henson as his parents and Kate Hudson as his wife.

Doug Liman In Talks To Direct Channing Tatum In X-Men Spin-off Gambit

By

doug-limanThe X-Men spin-off Gambit seemed to be motoring along, but then hit a buffer finding a director, with numerous people turning it down, then Rupert Wyatt signing on, only to leave shortly afterwards. There was even talk of Channing Tatum leaving the title role.

However now the producers will be hoping they’ve sorted the problem, as THR reports that Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Edge Of Tomorrow director Doug Liman is in talks to make the movie.

There’s no news on the specific plot, but Josh Zetumer has written the script, which will concentrate on the mutant who, as Wikipedia says, ‘has the ability to mentally create, control, and manipulate pure kinetic energy to his desire. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in card-throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a staff. Gambit is known to charge playing cards and other objects with kinetic energy, using them as explosive projectiles.’

The problems have meant that the original February 2016 release date definitely won’t happen, and while it’s currently dated for October 2016, don’t be surprised to see that slip into 2017.

Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & More Get Gods Of Egypt Character Posters

By

gods-of-egypt-character-poster1-slideGods Of Egypt certainly isn’t a movie that will satisfy those who accuse Hollywood of white-washing everything, as despite being about Egyptian gods, there are an awful lot of pale-looking people in the movie, as evidenced by a set of new posters, with only Chadwick Boseman representing those whose ancestors probably were in Africa several thousand years ago (although probably in a different part of the continent).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Magic, monsters, gods and madness reign throughout the palaces and pyramids of the Nile River Valley in this action-adventure inspired by the classic mythology of Egypt. With the survival of mankind hanging in the balance, an unexpected hero takes a thrilling journey to save the world and rescue his true love. Set (Gerard Butler), the merciless god of darkness, has usurped Egypt’s throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict. With only a handful of heroic rebels opposing Set’s savage rule, Bek (Brenton Thwaites), a bold and defiant mortal, enlists the aid of powerful god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in an unlikely alliance against the evil overlord. As their breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen take them into the afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the spectacular final confrontation.’

Alex Proyas directs the movie, which from the evidence of these posters looks a bit mental. It’s due out in February, so expect a trailer very soon. Take a look at the posters below. [Read more…]
