Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder have revealed the official title for Batman Vs. Superman, and it is Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice! They also released the official logo for the film above.
I like the title and the fact that it teases the Justice League film that will follow it. I’m really curious to see just how many Justice League characters they introduce or tease in Dawn of Justice. So far we have Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher).
The film also stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred, as well as Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne,Diane Lane, and Holly Hunter.
There are still no official plot details, but it’s set to be released on May 6th, 2016.
Seems like the movie is getting alot of hype! What do you think? Do you like the tittle?
Following a huge first weekend at the box office for Godzilla, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman revealed today that a sequel is already in the works.
Legendary Pictures, which put up 75% of the money to make the film (Warner Bros. took care of the rest), is now Universal Pictures’ partner, but Legendary and Warner Bros. will team on the sequel again. It is assumed that director Gareth Edwards would return to direct.
Made for about $160 million, the film earned an impressive $196.2 million worldwide this weekend, with $93.2 million of that coming from the domestic box office and $103 million from international markets.
Godzilla stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston. Edwards from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, story by David Callaham. Thomas Tull produced the film, along with Jon Jashni, Mary Parent and Brian Rogers. Patricia Whitcher and Alex Garcia served as executive producers, alongside Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira.
I think the movie was epic every moment godzilla was on scene it was intense and great! I know i would like to see more would you? and who would you like to see him go up against?
Earlier this month Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that three standalone Star Wars films are in development. He didn’t mention what any of them were, but there has been speculation that they could feature Yoda, Boba Fett, and Han Solo. There has been a very interesting update on this news and what the three standalone movies could be. It’s pretty exciting stuff if true.
A German website, Star Wars Union, recently attended a Hasbro event where they talked about the future of their products. Hasbro is the maker of the Star Wars toys, and they released some really interesting information at the event. According to the site they revealed the Star Wars movie release schedule for the rest of the decade!
If the information is accurate, it confirms that the first two spin-off movies are for Boba Fett and Han Solo. It also reveals that the third spin-off movie could be about the Red Squadron X-Wing fighters.
Other Star Wars websites such as Jedi News and Making of Star Wars ran the news, but they were asked to take down the information. This tells me that there could be some truth to all of this. If so… AWESOME! Of course, we will treat it all as a rumor for now, but it’s hard not to feel excited about it.
Here’s the release date breakdown that was apparently revealed by Hasbro:
2014: Rebels
2015: Episode VII
2016: Boba Fett
2017: Episode VIII
2018: Solo
2019: Episode IX
2020: Red Five
Just in case you forgot, Red Five was Luke Skywalker’s call sign in A New Hope, but he’s not the only member of the Red team to have that call sign. As explained on Wookieepedia, “Red Five was the call sign of the fifth member of Red Squadron. There were a number of starfighter squadrons with this name, and several beings went by the name Red Five.” So the movie could be about anyone. I assume if this movie happens it will end up following a group of X-Wing fighters on a mission. There’s always a chance that “Red Five” could just be a filler name for a movie they haven’t decided on yet.
As for the first name on the list, Rebels, it refers to the new animated series that will be released later this year. So Red Five could also be another TV series being developed.
I think its a pretty cool idea, i like the concept. i know it takes away from the general star wars theme but its interesting how it can take a spin for the group.. i guess in tiem we shall see. What are your thoughts?
Nazis are a classic short-cut. Put a Nazi in your game, and you’ve got a reason to shoot things without curling up into a morally conflicted ball and questioning whether you’re a good person. So quite why MachineGames has gone to such extraordinary lengths to make this Wolfenstein revival something bigger, more thoughtful and, well, touching than that, is anyone’s guess. Perhaps it cares about what it does.
The story begins during a familiar World War II. The skies are filled with bombers, and a movement tutorial takes place against a backdrop of explosions, unlikely stunts and profound bruising of the torso. And from the outset, it’s obvious that Wolfenstein’s scriptwriters are not just competent – they’re actually really good. I felt more for my squad of multicultural heroes in the opening 90 minutes than I managed for Lara Croft’s crewmates over the course of the whole game. It’s so good you won’t even care that a man coming around from a 14-year vegetative state can run around. We forgave Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, we can forgive a man who’s virtually a cartoon.
Speaking of which, Blazkowicz steals Lara Croft’s tiara as videogames’ ‘most battered hero’. The sheer number of blunt impacts and vivid lacerations he tolerates would test the regenerating health of the most resilient protagonist. There are times when this feels a little needless. But you don’t come to Wolfenstein expecting moderation – and seeing your iconic megadude suffer gives you a little connection, in a way that Duke Nukem never managed.
Besides, The New Order is willing to address some problematic themes, and ducks predictable tropes in a way that’s clever and gratifying. A conversation with a fellow guitar-playing resistance member briefly demolishes the good versus evil rhetoric that Nazi-themed videogames like to indulge in. The good guys don’t have a spotless track record with human rights, he points out, in language powerful enough to make you raise an eyebrow. A scene where Blazkowicz picks up a guitar, against all odds, isn’t excruciating. And praise be! The women in this story have their own tales of challenge and empowerment, and tease you with obvious plot developments that never come. It’s nothing short of great.
And yet, this is still a game where you dual-wield guns, and roam through levels like a wandering cloud of muzzle flare. The weapons all handle brilliantly, and the framerate is as smooth as you’d expect from the id Tech engine. If you played RAGE, you’ll recall what a buttery dream that was; Wolfenstein is the same, with better close-up textures. It doesn’t score so highly in the enemy AI department, but then RAGE was truly exceptional there, and Wolfenstein is only ‘very good’. Enemies run, reposition, and keep you guessing. And just enough of them stand cheerfully out of cover to give you a chance to blast them. It feels less like bad AI, and more like deliberately giving you something to shoot.
Wyatt, were you thinking?
A decision made in the first chapter will subtly change your game throughout. No plot spoilers here, but every chapter has two versions across two timelines, unlocked separately. It’s a cheeky trick, really – your decision affects which exploration skill you learn. One way, you learn to pick locks, in a mini-game that’s short and pleasantly annoying. The other path teaches you to hotwire certain panels. So to get 100% you’ll have to play through twice. Cutscenes will also be changed to reflect your decision. It’s a good reason to replay, perhaps on a more difficult setting.
Juliette Lewis and Molly Ringwald are the latest cast members to join Jon M. Chu‘s live-action feature adaptation of the classic 1980s cartoon series Jem and the Holograms.
The join the previously cast Aubrey Peeples, Stefanie Scott, Aurora Perrineau, and Hayley Kiyoko, who are set to play Jem and her bandmates the Holograms. Ryan Guzman has also been cast in the film, and he will play the love interest, Rio. We don’t know who Lewis or Ringwald will be playing in the film yet. They seem like they would make a great fit in this world though.
According to THR, the film is being described as “a modern take on the mysterious pop star and will follow the band through Los Angeles on a music-driven adventure.”
Unlike its predecessors, The Expendables 3 has received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA.
Sylvester Stallone confirmed the rating during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival.
“We want to reach as many people as possible,” Stallone said. “It’s very close to an R, believe me, it’s right there. But I think we owe it to the next generation. We thought we’d join that club for a while.”
So in other words, they want to reach the next generation’s wallets.
This may also be due to The Expendables 2 grossing over $85 million domestically which is $18 million less than the the first Expendables which grossed over $103 million domestically.
Maybe a PG-13 rating and the youth will help boost ticket sales.
We all know rated R movies don’t perform as well as they use to causing many films to purposely tame their content… although most PG-13 films are just as violent as an R film just without the blood splatter and swearing.
Are you disappointed in the PG-13 rating? I think its going to bite him in the ass! You can’t have a movie like this and dumb down the violence. this is a violent film! thats like taking a musical and take the music out of it! I see a sad day for this film and the films to follow unless Stallone changes his tune! What are your thoughts?
It looks like Blade Runner 2 is ready to move into production! According to Variety, Alcon Entertainment has invited Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the long-awaited sequel to the Ridley Scott directed film!
Over the last few months it has been rumored that the actor was in talks to join. Ford himself said that he was both curious and excited about the sequel,
“I’m quite curious and excited about seeing a new script for Blade Runner if in fact the opportunity would exist to do another, if it’s a good script I would be very anxious to work with Ridley Scott again, he’s a very talented and passionate filmmaker. And I think it would be very interesting to revisit the character.”
As far as we know he hasn’t officially accepted the offer, but if the script was good then it sounds like he’ll take it. The latest version of the script comes from Green Lantern co-writer Michael Green and Hampton Fancher, who worked on the script for the first film.
All we know about the story at this point is that it’s set several decades after the conclusion of the original, which took place in 2019.
Alcon executives, Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, had this to say in a statement:
“We believe that Hampton Fancher and Michael Green have crafted with Ridley Scott an extraordinary sequel to one of the greatest films of all time. We would be honored, and we are hopeful, that Harrison will be part of our project.”
what are your thoughts of a second blade runner film? do you want to see harrison ford return to the role?

The next chapter of Master Chief’s saga will launch autumn 2015
Happy Friday to one and all. It’s a big one for OXM, as it’s Log’s last day in the office before he runs away to Nottingham to run a pub. Sad times, for those left behind by him here in London at least. On a cheerier note though, here’s an extra tasty morsel of news: the next Halo game has officially been announced as Halo 5: Guardians.
“Any time you transition to a new platform, there is the opportunity to look at things with a new perspective,” wrote 343’s GM Bonnie Ross in a post over on Xbox Wire. “For us at 343 Industries, the launch of the Xbox One was an opportunity to think about what stories we wanted to tell, how to tell them, and how best to push the Halo franchise to showcase the platform. And maybe, most importantly, combining our passion for Halo with the vocal and informative input from our fans.
“Halo isn’t simply a perennial game franchise, it’s a part of the Xbox platform itself,” she continued. “In terms of innovation and ideation, it’s sometimes important to people who might not even play Halo. In the past, Halo games have pushed the Xbox forward, showcasing the console and its ecosystem in entertaining and innovative ways. Making a Halo game that runs at 60 frames per second, on dedicated servers, with the scope, features and scale we’ve been dreaming of for more than a decade, is non-trivial. It’s a task that we, at 343 Industries, are taking very seriously to ensure we deliver the Halo game that fans deserve, and a game that is built from the ground up for Xbox One.
“I’m happy to reveal that Halo 5: Guardians, the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every Halo game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.”
Ross promised to give further details on the game, and the Halo TV series tie-in, at the Xbox E3 Media Briefing next month in LA, but she did say that Halo 5: Guardians was “a bigger effort than Halo 4. That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what’s now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we’ve invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One’s hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.”
“We’re not meant to save the world. We’re meant to leave it.”
The first full trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s sci-fi film Interstellar is finally here, and it looks incredible! The trailer gives us a much better idea of what story this movie is going to tell. It takes us in space, and it’s breathtaking. I love Nolan’s stories, and he has a remarkable talent of bring them to life on the big screen. I can’t wait to see this one!
The story is set in the near future, and Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper, an engineer, a pilot, and a father of two. After climate change brings on a global food crisis, he sets his sights on farming. An old mentor (Michael Caine) comes back into his life and recruits him to join a mysterious space mission with the goal of finding another planet capable of sustaining human life.
The movie is scheduled to be released on November 7th, 2014.
