Why stop at a trilogy, these days? The Expendables franchise certainly is looking beyond that.
A new report from Variety states that Expendables 4 will begin production in 2016 and hit theaters in 2017. The project doesn’t yet have a director or cast but will likely return several of its action stars from previous efforts and introduce a few new faces to the fold. Continue reading
Now that’s for part one and two of the film…so individually he’s netting $100 mil per film. Continue reading
Sam Alexander isn’t alone anymore in the upcoming Nova #1. With his dad Jesse back in the fold, it is time for the Alexander family to get a fresh start, but there are still some mysteries as to what Jesse has been through while he was lost, and that will be the main focus of Sean Ryan and Cory Smith’s first arc. Nova has been excellent for awhile now, even without Richard Rider at the helm, and hopefully this will be a good place for new fans to hop on.
To say MacGruber is one of the best movies based on a Saturday Night Live sketch isn’t that big of a compliment, but it’s also one of the funniest, most ridiculous action movies in the past five years. Perhaps appropriately, given its hero’s (hilarious) lack of ability to avert explosions in the sketch, the movie bombed at the box office, but it gained a cult following on home video. It’s beloved by entertainment journalists, and practically every time someone interviews star Will Forte, he’s asked about a possible sequel. Continue reading

Benicio del Toro was introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Collector during a post credits scene in Thor: The Dark World. I remember a lot of audience members being like, “What the hell was that!?” When James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy was released we learned a lot more about The Collector, and we realized wouldn’t be the last we saw of him. Now it’s been confirmed that he’ll be back for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Continue reading

Rumor has it that the disappointing domestic performance of Terminator Genisys has squashed plans for future installments in the series. Speaking at a leadership conference for TheWrap, Skydance Media Chief Creative Officer Dana Goldberg says the franchise isn’t dead as much as readjusting.
“Do we intend to have a next step of Terminator? Yes, we do,” Goldberg said. “I wouldn’t say on hold, so much as re-adjusting.”
While Genisys underperformed domestically, it did stellar at the worldwide box office, bringing In $350 million overseas.
“We’re ultimately happy with overall worldwide numbers. Do I wish we would have done better domestically? Absolutely,” said Goldberg. “Happily, we live in the world where the domestic number had a level of importance 10 or 15 years ago — I’m not saying it’s not important, it is — but we have to play to a worldwide market. In terms of Terminator, the worldwide market paid attention, but we’re not taking the domestic number lightly.”
Goldberg says Skydance will try to improve on the next Terminator experience by data mining audiences to see what went right and what went wrong with Genisys.
In the end, Genisys’ success or failure is almost irrelevant. Hollywood is still Hollywood, and there seems little chance that any major studio would let a franchise like Terminator, with a pre-sold audience of nostalgia addicts and franchise diehards, sit on the back burner for long.
