The Huntsman Winter’s War Character Posters & Synopsis Released

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22956:]]

Character posters, the synopsis and the official title for the Snow White and the Huntsman spinoff have been announced.

The movie is officially titled The Huntsman Winter’s War which will feature Chris Hemsworth reprising as the titular character. As it is a spinoff, and not a direct sequel, Kristen Stewart will not be back as Snow White from the 2012 movie. 

The Huntsman Winter’s War has a April 22, 2016 release directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan also starring Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron.

Synopsis:

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

Ezra Miller & Charles Roven Talk Differences With Grant Gustin’s Flash

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22953:]]

Even though the movie and TV universes are separate, Warner Bros. may run into the problem of having two actors play The Flash as the Grant Gustin version is extremely well-liked and popular amongst the fans (something Marvel won’t have a problem with).

Now while on the set of his latest movie, the Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Ezra Miller talks about his version of The Flash with EW.com:

“Well, [first] it’s going to be a movie, I’d like for it to be an exploration of a human being, a multi-dimensional human being, to speak…Wow, I just made such a pun, without meaning to…. I’d like the character to have many dimensions. But really, I’d like him to have the usual dimensions we know and love, and then some extra ones that are part of the amazing consideration of this superhero. I hope to realize him as a person, and I think what’s most exciting for me in superhero mythologies is when we feel the humanity of someone who is heroic — or the heroism of someone who is a flawed, deeply human person.”

Last week also saw Batman producer Charles Roven weigh in on the popularity of The Flash, with Roven confirming there are separate universes. Interestingly enough, Roven states he doesn’t have the answer regarding the popularity of The Flash TV series affecting the movie. Check it out below.

Ezra Miller will be featured as Barry Allen/possibly The Flash next March in Batman Vs. Superman followed by the 2017 Justice League Part 1 film and then the March 3, 2018 Flash standalone movie.

Plot Synopsis:

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Friday the 13th Video Game Footage Released

Check out a pre-alpha sneak peek at gameplay footage for the crowd-funded Friday The 13th video game.

First Pre-Alpha Gameplay reveal for Friday the 13th: The Game. This is a RARE glimpse into a game development prototype build that we’re using to test and prove out gameplay design concepts. All of the assets, character models, animations, etc… are temporary assets, put in place so we can test in a reasonable context. The art, sound effects, music and gameplay are not final by any means and are not indicative of what the game will look and sound like at release. We are focusing on fun first and foremost during the pre-alpha stage, and using this time to nail an authentic Friday the 13th experience featuring Jason Voorhees. Models, animation, UI/HUD, etc… will improve as the project moves forward. Thank you for all your support! 

It’s also been announced the game has exceeded it’s funding bringing in a whopping $823,704.

An announcement trailer has also been released.

Info:

Developed by Gun Media and IllFonic, Friday the 13: The Game will deliver a terrifying combination of features designed to satisfy gamers and fans of the Friday the 13th franchise alike. In addition to bringing the tension and horror of the movies to life, the game will also let players don the mask of Jason Voorhees for the first time and control all new levels of brutal action! The development team had earlier collaborated on the unreleased survival horror-themed game Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp and plans to integrate much of that design into the new Friday the 13th game.

Friday the 13th: The Game is being developed for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, for release in Fall, 2016.

Scott Adkins Cast In Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22932:]]

With Doctor Strange currently filming in Nepal, it’s being reported martial artist Scott Adkins has been cast in the movie; however, the role is currently unknown.

Adkins is a fan-favorite actor who recently auditioned for the role of the new Batman, which went to Ben Affleck. Adkins has also been featured in Universal Soldier, The Expendables and The Bourne Ultimatum.

According to The Wrap, Adkins will be featured in several major action scenes featuring hand-to-hand combat.

The news of Scott Adkins getting cast in Doctor Strange will certainly bring about speculation the actor is playing Iron Fist, especially following the recent rumors of Marvel Studios said to be putting a stop to the use of the character in the Marvel Netflix series. To add to that, with Iron Fist having a supernatural background, the character would fit in pretty well with Doctor Strange, which is more than likely spearheading the supernatural side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release directed by Scott Derrickson.

Johnson apparently comes on board Aquaman to do rewrites as Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad were hired to write separate scripts for the project. It’s possible Johnson could be incorporating ideas from both of them.

Christian Bale Shoots Down Crazy Batman Vs. Superman Fan Theory

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22930:]]

About three weeks ago saw a crazy fan theory hit the net stating Christian Bale is still playing the Batman, that Ben Affleck is really playing Deathstroke, and that Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is actually the fifth of the Christopher Nolan movies (“v” being the Roman Numeral five).

Now word of the theory has actually made its way to Christian Bale, thanks to Yahoo who caught up with the actor and questioned if his return was even possible.

“I haven’t heard that. This is the first I’ve heard of it,” Bale said. “I think it’s pretty clear that Ben [Affleck] is playing Batman now.”

Well, the theory did state that Ben Affleck was playing Batman – just as Slade Wilson – which happened in the comic books; however, don’t get your hopes up Nolanites as Christian Bale says a definite no his return.

 “No, it’s not happening,” Bale said.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.

Suicide Squad Is Rated PG-13 & Joker Details (Video)

Batman producer Charles Roven confirms that Suicide Squad will have a PG-13 rating as well as offers details about Jared Leto’s Joker and more.

You can watch Roven talk about Suicide Squad in the above video, with some of the text found below (via Collider).

On Jared Leto’s Joker:

“Look, you know, it was different, it was fun. The group first wasn’t sure because the AD’s had to call him ‘Mr. J’ to get him to come to the set [laughs]. And he did in many ways isolate himself from the rest of the group, but that’s really what his character was, the purpose of his character in many ways, other than when he was with Harley or trying to get Harley. It was very entertaining, it was fuel for a lot of good sport and a lot of laughs, and his isolation bonded the squad, and we wanted the squad bonded.”

David Ayer pitched the idea to do Suicide Squad:

“He had a close relationship with [Warner Bros. executive] Greg Silverman and Greg said, ‘He’s got an idea on Suicide Squad, he wants to come in and pitch it.’ Having a guy like that who’s been able to—all of his films have had a certain level of groundedness to them, really feeling very richly real. And so having that sensibility, which is along the lines of what we were talking about earlier how we like to have things grounded in science or whatever, I was very anxious to hear what his take was gonna be on Suicide Squad and I was very happily surprised, but it was right exactly in the pocket that we were looking for. Honestly that movie was essentially greenlit in the pitch meeting.”

On David Ayer being the writer and director for Suicide Squad:

Surprisingly, one of the things that is a natural benefit of having a writer-director is that when you meet with him, if he’s trying to meet with an actor and explain to them what the role’s gonna be, there’s a lot of confidence that the actor has that the man who’s telling him what’s it’s gonna be is gonna deliver because he’s both the writer and the director. So David was very fresh off the heels of a movie that he could show called Fury, which was a fabulous picture, and he was able to talk about these really—as he says ‘it can be fun to be bad’ and ‘just because they’re bad doesn’t mean they’re evil’, and so he was able to convince all of the actors that we went out to that he was gonna be able to make these characters so compelling that they would wanna be played more than once by these actors.”

On the atmosphere on set:

“I have to say, it was one of the most fun sets ever. I’ve been doing this for a while, and the camaraderie that was built on that set—everybody couldn’t wait for the next day to come back to work.”

Suicide Squad having a PG-13 Rating:

The intention of the film is definitely to be PG-13… We really want to make these films tonally consistent so that, as I said because this is a shared universe, at least our current thinking—and again, we’re not dealing in absolutes because while this is business it’s also a creative endeavor, so you want to leave yourself open to changing your mind, doing something different, being inspired, that’s the whole process of filmmaking is you have to allow for inspiration as well as having a road map for what you’re gonna do. So our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13.”

What will surprise audiences the most?

“There’s a lot of characters in Suicide Squad, and I think you’ll be engaged with them. They all have fabulously different arcs, they’re all very individualistic, and I think that also they’re very, very human in their own dysfunctional ways. And I think that the personal individuals stories and how they relate to each other will be surprising.”
