J.K. Simmons to Join the Cast of TERMINATOR: GENESIS

JK-Simmons-Image-031314-Dragonlord.jpg


J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, The Closer) is in negotiations to join the cast of Terminator: Genesis, the reboot of the sci-fi action franchise being made by Skydance and Paramount. The remake will thread together multiple ideas from the previous movies as it relaunches the story of a cyborg from a future where computers gained intelligence and waged war against mankind. Emilia Clarke is playing Sarah Connor, the woman first saved by Kyle Reese, a fighter from the future and inadvertent father of future resistance leader John Connor. Jason Clarke (no relation to Emilia Clarke) is playing John Connor, while Jai Courtney will be playing Reese. Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back as Terminator -- whether he is good or bad remains to be seen.

According to sources, Simmons will play a weary and alcoholic detective who has followed a bizarre case involving Sarah Connor and robots for more than three decades (since 1984, which, not coincidentally, is the year the original movie, directed by James Cameron, was released). Alan Taylor is directing the movie, which is due to start shooting this spring. Simmons is currently on NBC's midseason comedy Growing Up Fisher and is coming off the Sundance premiere of the buzzed-about drama Whiplash. The movie, in which Simmons stars opposite Miles Teller, won the festival's grand jury prize and audience prize and was snapped up by Sony Pictures Classics.

Terry Gilliam Says Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN "Worked Well"

Terry-Gilliam-Watchmen-031314-Dragonlord.jpg


During a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” interview in support of his upcoming film Zero Theorem, filmmaker Terry Gilliam told a fan that he “was happy to avoid” the problem of squeezing Watchmen into the constraints of a single feature film, but that in the end he though director Zack Snyder’s film “worked well,” and that its faults were more or less what Gilliam expected, having worked on the film himself. Asked what he felt about Snyder having made the film “to save it from the Terry Gilliams of the world,” Gilliam said:

"Charles McKeown and I wrote the script. I always felt it was not the best way to treat it because trying to squeeze it into 2.5 hours is an unlikely thing. I think we wrote an interesting version of it, but I think it needed more time to really work. I thought Zack’s film worked well, but it suffered from the very problem that I was happy to avoid by not making the film."

According to producer Joel Silver, who was attached to the film for years and worked with a number of directors, but was ultimately unable to come to an agreement with Warner Bros. as to how to move forward with the “unfilmable” comic book series, Gilliam’s version would have involved a time and reality-bending twist ending wherein the characters would rewrite the past and, upon returning to the future, find out that their world was simply a fictional construct and that they are all comic book characters.

3 New Featurettes from NEED FOR SPEED Starring Aaron Paul

2lxvvoo.jpg


In about one month, fans of the racing video game Need for Speed will be able to check out director Scott Waugh’s big-screen adaptation. In the meantime, three behind-the-scenes featurettes will have to hold you over. In addition to a new look at stars Aaron Paul, Scott Mescudi, Ramon Rodriguez, Harrison Gilbertson and Rami Malek, the featurette takes the focus off the cars and puts it on the men behind the wheel. Also starring Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, Dakota Johnson and Michael Keaton, Need for Speed opens March 14th.

The cast, while definitely solid, only has a few “huge” household names. In the lead role of Tobey Marshall, Aaron Paul will hope to bring as much of his Breaking Bad audience to the film as possible. Given that it’s based on a popular video game franchise, the hope is that the audience will be the same.

Synopsis: Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, muscle car mechanic and street racer Tobey (Aaron Paul) gets out of prison determined to settle the score with the man responsible for his false conviction.

The Falcon Spotlighted in New THE WINTER SOLDIER Featurette

Falcon-Anthony-Mackie-031314-Dragonlord.jpg


Captain America: The Winter Soldier might technically be a standalone movie for the first Avenger, but that doesn’t mean that he’s the only superhero in it – or even the only Avenger. While Thor and Tony Stark have been off on their own adventures since deflecting the attack on New York, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff have remained in the ranks of SHIELD as highly effective agents, and in The Winter Soldier they are joined by Sam Wilson AKA Falcon.

Anthony Mackie has said that Black Widow and Falcon are not Captain America’s sidekicks, but that the three of them instead have a very solid working relationship, each with their own individual skill sets. Since The Winter Soldier will be Sam Wilson’s first outing in the Marvel cinematic universe, the studio has released a new featurette, introducing the character to audiences who might not be familiar with the comics.

It’s an exciting look at the movie with some behind-the-scenes footage of Mackie in his specially-designed flight suit, but a lot of Marvel fans are probably already at maximum hype potential for The Winter Soldier. Early buzz from screenings has been overwhelmingly positive, with a lot of people saying that it’s one of the best Marvel movies so far.

Guy Pearce Joins Johnny Depp in Scott Cooper's BLACK MASS

Guy-Pearce-Image-600x200-Dragonlord.jpg


Now that Johnny Depp has returned to the mob drama Black Mass as infamous Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, and Joel Edgerton is locked in as the childhood friend turned FBI agent who pursued him while also helping him stay at large, the rest of the cast is starting to fill out. Variety has word that Guy Pearce (Memento, Iron Man 3) is in talks to play Depp's brother, though it's not clear how integral the character is in the real-life story about the criminal turned FBI informant, who used the opportunity as a way to get rid of his competition before getting double-crossed by the agency and forced to go on the run.

The project had some trouble awhile ago when the budget was reduced, and could no longer afford Depp's fee for the film. Shortly thereafter, Barry Levinson fell out of the director's chair. But then Depp circled back to the project when Crazy Heart and Out of the Furnace director Scott Cooper came into the mix. At one time, Tom Hardy was being lined up for Edgerton's role, but clearly that never solidified. Pearce will next be seen alongside Robert Pattinson in The Rover, a crime film from Animal Kingdom director David Mich

Taken-2-Neeson-Grace-Janssen-Dragonlord.jpg


Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen have both officially signed on to Taken 3. According to new reports that surfaced on Wednesday. The action thriller series saw both actors in the first two iterations of the film alongside Liam Neeson as his daughter and his wife respectively. Moviefone reports the Janssen will reprise her usual role but Neeson has said the character of his wife could have a larger role in this third film.

Maggie Grace has officially signed on the dotted line to also reprise her character in Taken 3. While Famke Janssen played her mother in what has been a sort of peripheral role during the series, Grace was the one who was actually kidnapped in the first flick. Filming for Taken 3 is set to begin later this year and will be looking to see a big advantage of the drawing power of Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen, along with Liam Neeson in order to keep the financial juggernaut rolling down the tracks.

Cuban-Fury-Frost-ODowd-Dragonlord.jpg


A new U.S. trailer for director James Griffiths‘ salsa dancing comedy Cuban Fury has been released online. The film stars Nick Frost as a former salsa-dancing prodigy who attempts to regain his dancing form in order to impress his new American boss (Rashida Jones). He runs across formidable competition by way of his co-worker, played by Chris O’Dowd. The chemistry between Frost and O’Dowd continues to look great, and Frost appears more than comfortable carrying the comedic lead role. he film also stars Ian McShane and Olivia Coleman. Cuban Fury opens in limited release on April 11.

The idea for the movie actually originated with Frost, who told Metro he thought it up during a night of drinking. He said he sent a drunken email outlining the story to his long-time producer Nira Park (who worked on the previous Frost/Pegg movies), who loved the idea. Little did he know at the time it would lead to seven months of dance training so that he would be convincing as a fleet-footed Salsa master.

The-Smurfs-2-Group-Dragonlord_zps8a03c8bd.jpg


Press Release: Sony Pictures Animation has hired animation industry veteran Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2, Gnomeo & Juliet) to direct an all new, fully computer-animated film featuring the world’s most popular blue creatures. The family adventure, currently going by the working title The Untitled Smurfs Movie, is anticipated in theaters August 2015. Jordan Kerner (The Smurfs) is producing, with Mary Ellen Bauder (Hotel Transylvania) co-producing. The original two live action/CG hybrid Smurfs movies from Sony Pictures Animation grossed a combined $910 million worldwide.

Kelly Asbury, who was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or for Shrek 2, offers, “I’m really excited about taking the Smurfs in a completely new fresh direction. We’re not making a Smurfs 3 film. Our character designs and environments will be stylistically closer to the original artwork created by Peyo. Our story will explore the beginnings of the beloved little blue creatures in a fun full CG animated comedy-adventure for every generation to enjoy.”

Helena Bonham Carter Returns in THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Helena-Bonham-Carter-Red-Queen-Dragonlord.jpg


Helena Bonham Carter is in final negotiations to reprise her role as the Red Queen in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland sequel Through the Looking Glass. Previously announced, Sacha Baron Cohen was in talks to rejoin Sweeney Todd co-star Johnny Depp, who is also reprising his role as the Mad Hatter alongside Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Cohen’s role is yet to be announced, but we should assume it will be comical. Variety confirms Carter’s return.

Few plot details have been revealed, but Through the Looking Glass is well-known as a novel. The Tim Burton adaptation played very loose with the original source material, so the sequel will also probably be different from its book. Through the Looking Glass is considered a sequel to Alice in Wonderland even though it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book.

Despite poor reviews and a horrible 3D experience, the first film grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. Helena Bonham Carter will also be seen in Disney’s Cinderella as the Fairy Godmother. Directed by James Bobin (The Muppets), the film stars Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska. Through the Looking Glass opens May 27, 2016.

New Clips from MONSTERS UNIVERSITY Short, PARTY CENTRAL

Monsters-University-Party-Central-Dragonlord.jpg


A dozen years passed between Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University, but Disney/Pixar isn’t waiting nearly that long to bring the dynamic duo of Mike and Sulley back again. Party Central was made to be included on the home video release of Monsters University, but was given a theatrical release instead. The short premiered at the D23 Expo 2013. It was set to be released with the theatrical release of The Good Dinosaur, but after The Good Dinosaur was pushed back to November 2015, it was announced it will be theatrically released with Muppets Most Wanted, which opens on March 21st.

Disney has released two new clips featuring the Oozma Kappa brothers getting a bit devious. Mike and Sulley are back at Monsters University for a fun-filled weekend with their Oozma Kappa fraternity brothers. The gang is throwing their first party, but no one’s showing up. Luckily for them, Mike and Sulley have come up with a plan to make sure “Party Central” is the most epic party the school has ever seen. So Mike and Sulley resort to trickery to “steal” the biggest party of the year from their rival frat, Roar Omega Roar. The new clips highlight one of their schemes, which hinges on the assumption that college kids will do anything and go anywhere for free pizza.

Bryan Singer Says X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Takes Place in the 1980s

Bryan-Singer-Apocalypse-031414-Dragonlord.jpg


While many are certainly looking forward to X-Men: Days of Future Past, Singer already has his eye on the next movie, as he’s currently breaking the story on the DOFP follow-up X-Men: Apocalypse. Speaking with Total Film in the latest issue of the magazine, Singer said X-Men: Apocalypse is progressing nicely in anticipation of the film’s May 27, 2016 release date:

“We’re currently breaking the story. We’re almost ready to go. Dan Harris, Michael Dougherty and Simon Kinberg are in the office across the street from me, working on story stuff right now. It’s great to have Dan and Michael back. We’re going to deal with the notion of ancient mutants – the fact they were born and existed thousands of years ago. But it’ll be a contemporary movie – well, it’ll take place in the ’80s… The ’80s is a period now – it’s hard for me to believe that!”

“Apocalypse will have more of the mass destruction that X-Men films, to date, have not relied upon. There’s definitely now a character and a story that allow room for that kind of spectacle… I don’t want to get too specific, but we’ll introduce familiar characters in a younger time. That’ll be fun to show the audience. I call these movies in-between-quels. It’s a mind-fuck sometimes in terms of where things fall in the timeline!”

Extended B-Roll Footage, New Clip from THE WINTER SOLDIER

Captain-America-The-Winter-Soldier-Set-031414-Dragonlord.jpg


The release of Marvel’s latest picture, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is imminent, and to make the wait slightly easier (or possibly harder), the studio has released an extended reel of behind-the-scenes footage. If you’re curious how one of these massive Marvel tentpoles gets put together, this is an opportunity to be a fly on the wall as directors Joe and Anthony Russo craft the Captain America follow-up. The story finds Chris Evans’ Cap teaming up with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) to expose a conspiracy, fight off professional assassins, and battle a new enemy, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

Is that not enough for you? Well, that's fine because Marvel has another special treat for you as well. In celebration of the Captain America sequel premiere last night in Los Angeles, Marvel has also released a brand new clip from the movie, with shows an amazing action sequence featuring both Cap and Falcon. Prepare for awesomeness.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier finds its titular hero (Chris Evans) still trying to adjust in the modern world, and working as a field agent alongside Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) for S.H.I.E.L.D. When tragedy strikes, however, Cap suddenly realizes that he has no idea who he can trust - including the incredibly powerful organization he is a part of - and things are only made worse by the return of a ghost from his past. Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on April 4th.
