HIT-GIRL Prequel and KICK-ASS 3 Films Have Been talked about!
Last month we learned that The Raid director Gareth Evans was interested in make a standalone Hit-Girl movie. There’s no doubt in my mind that would be a badass movie. In a recent interview with JoBlo, Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn confirms that a Hit-Girl spin-off movie is still actually being discussed. He also talks about getting Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Moretz back for Kick-Ass 3. Moretz has said in the past that she’s “done with Hit-Girl,” but Vaughn seems pretty confident that he can bring her back into the fold. Continue reading

Disney Releases Enchanting New Trailer for CINDERELLA
A new full trailer for Disney’s live-action Cinderella movie has been released. I think this movie is going to be a huge hit for the mouse house. Little girls are ridiculously giddy about it, and they’re going to love it whether it’s good or bad. Why? Because it’s Cinderella! She can’t do any wrong in the eyes of little girls. As a Disney fan myself, I think the movie looks great, too.
The new trailer features a good amount of new footage from the live-action fairy tale, which gives us some more insight into the drama of the story. Continue reading
G.I. JOE 3 Might Include Tomax, Xamot and a M.A.S.K. Character
Director DJ Caruso is in the process of developing G.I. Joe 3 for Paramount Pictures. As much as I’ve enjoyed the films that Caruso has made, I don’t think he will be able to save this franchise. The first two movies weren’t good at all. I’m surprised that they haven’t rebooted it yet, which is something they should have done after the first film.

JOHN WICK 2
Stuntmen-turned-directors Chad Stehelski and David Leitch made a big splash last year with their directorial debut, John Wick. The Keanu Reeves action film was a lean exercise in efficient storytelling, intriguing world-building, and balls-to-the-wall actions (how many headshots are in that film? I’m guessing a supercut is going to tell us very soon), and the directors made such a big impression that they’re now lined up to make Cowboy Ninja Viking with Chris Pratt. But in a new interview with Movies.com, the duo also says what John Wick fans have been wanting to hear since the second the credits began to roll on the original: they’re developing a sequel.
Chris Pratt Sought for Indiana Jones Reboot?
Although the outlet is sure to note that plans are in very early stages, Deadline is reporting that Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm are eyeing Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt to potentially replace Harrison Ford as the headlining star of the Indiana Jones franchise!
Although the most recent big screen adventure, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was not entirely a hit with critics, the fourth film in the series managed to gross more than $786 million worldwide when it was released in 2008. Shortly thereafter, George Lucas hinted that plans were underway for a fifth cinematic adventure, but he admitted that he had yet to decide on a MacGuffin (A term popularized by Alfred Hitchcock, referring to a narrative element that drives the story forward, such as the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark). Following the sale of Lucasfilm to Walt Disney Pictures and Lucas’ own subsequent retirement, however, hints regarding plans for the future of the franchise have been few and far between. Ford, however, has suggested that he’s quite eager to reprise the role himself, despite turning 73 this year.
Pratt, who also starred last year in The LEGO Movie, is rapidly rising as a Hollywood star. He’ll appear this summer in director Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World and is set to star opposite Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming remake of The Magnificent Seven.
What do you think of Pratt potentially playing Dr. Henry Jones? Is there anyone else you’d like to see in this role? we want to know who you would pick for the reboot!
The Ghostbusters Reboot Cast Revealed!
It’s official! Meet your new Ghostbusters! Paul Feig, the director of the upcoming reboot, just took to Twitter to reveal his new cast. Headlining the supernatural comedy are Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), Melissa McCarthy (The Heat, Tammy), Leslie Jones (“Saturday Night Live,” Top Five) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live,” Life Partners).
A remake of director Ivan Reitman’s 1984 comedy classic, Feig’s take on the property is said to be targeting a scarier tone that will not maintain any continuity with the original film or its 1989 sequel (or the surprisingly continuity-heavy animated series “The Real Ghostbusters,” for that matter).
Back in September, original Ghostbusters star Bill Murray revealed his own “fan cast” for a female-driven franchise reboot, which included both McCarthy (his St. Vincent co-star) and Wiig alongside Linda Cardinelli (“Freaks and Geeks,” “Mad Men”) and Emma Stone (The Help, The Amazing Spider-Man).
Plans call for Ghostbusters to shoot this summer in New York. Check back for further details on the production as they become available!
I have to say as a big fan of the ghostbusters i am not really happy with the choices that have been picked its just not going to be the same. Maybe its me but i feel that this is not going to work out! What do you think of this line-up? Is there anyone else you’d like to see? Share your thoughts we want to know!
