Will Smith Says Jared Leto Stayed In Character As Joker Throughout Suicide Squad Filming

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22336:]]

We learn a tidbit about the Suicide Squad in that Jared Leto stayed completely in character as Joker during filming — so much so that Leto never even spoke to Will Smith as the two worked on the film together for six months.

Will Smith told Complex the following:

[Suicide Squad] is insane. I’ve never actually met Jared Leto. We worked together for 6 months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ He was all in on the Joker.

For fans of Smith’s Bad Boys series, the actor is currently involved in a third film and offered up the next one should be coming out in 12-16 months.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Batman Vs. Superman Viral Marketing Kicks Off With Lex Luthor

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22333:]]

We’re about six months away from Batman Vs. Superman, and now WB has launched the first viral marketing campaign for the movie which kicks off with Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor.

A Lex Luthor LexCorp Twitter Account has been created which links to an article over at Fortune featuring a LexCorp sponsored article with: “Lex Luthor Jr.: Not Just His Father’s LexCorp.” The article features an “interview” with Lex, which makes mention of Lex Sr. having passed away and more.

“Well, Dad was a complicated guy,” his down-to-Earth son notes as we pass a tasteful display of his world-famous collection of meteorite crystals. “He came from a country where the government, in the guise of protector, had absolute control over the citizens. That drove him. I get it. Heck, I’d hate to see that sort of thing happen over here.” 

 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22334:]]

“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. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Jonathan Nolan Comments On Batman Begins Teaser

With Batman Begins now on Netflix, the movie has been receiving some new attention.

The latest is regarding the above Batman Begins teaser trailer that WB used to convince audiences of their different approach to the Dark Knight, which was no longer campy, but darker, grittier and more serious in nature.

The trailer is currently topping Reddit, with Jonathan Nolan, brother to Christopher Nolan and writer on The Dark Knight Trilogy, offering an inside look.

A fan commented:

Damn the movie was already awesome but I wouldn’t have minded having that little speech in the movie. That being said, it was the perfect teaser. Built interest without giving away too much.

With Jonathan Nolan responding:

thanks dude. I wrote this in a couple hours in my brother’s trailer while he was shooting the scene in which Bruce is arrested for stealing Wayne corp supplies on his ‘journey.’ Remains some of my favorite writing from these films. Was written specifically for the trailer. Wouldn’t have worked in the film.

Another fan commented:

Thanks Jonathan. We have genuine respect for the craft you and your brother have brought to cinema over the last decade, and more. All the best for the future; you guys are writing the future of cinema.

With Jonathan responding:

Thank you! Appreciate it. Hopefully my future also includes a nap. edit — I really need that nap.

Jonathan Nolan is currently involved with HBO’s Westworld series and is currently directing, producing and writing episodes.

Dave Bautista Wants Drax In The Avengers

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22324:]]

With Thanos set to take on the Avengers in Infinity War, Marvel’s street-level heroes are probably going to need some Marvel Cosmic assistance to handle the Mad Titan.

Dave Bautista, who previously let it be known he hopes his Guardians of the Galaxy team collides with the Avengers at some point, now says more of the same in that he hopes they do appear together on the big screen.

“Yeah, come on, man. Hell yeah. Yeah, of course I would,” Bautista tells Screen Rant in the following video while promoting his latest movie, the James Bond Spectre film. “At the core of me is the biggest geek you’ve ever met. I’m a superhero fan first and foremost, and…of course, man, I want that to happen. It’s rumors right now, but, you know, I pray every day…and night, and afternoon, and after you walk out the door I’ll go pray and say, ‘Please let Drax be in ‘The Avengers.’ [Laughter] Yeah, I hope it’ll happen.”

It’s presently unknown whether or not any of the Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in Infinity War or side-by-side the Avengers, and even James Gunn said a while back that the Guardians teaming with the Avengers hasn’t been decided, but if we had to guess, we would say it’s probably a good bet at least two members of the Guardians will appear with the Avengers down the road. There’s also the fact that Thanos and Drax are mortal enemies in the comics, which adds fuel to the fire…

Tom Hiddleston Reveals Why Loki Was Cut From Avengers 2 (Video)

Darn it all.

It turns out Loki’s Army is to blame for Tom Hiddleston being cut from The Avengers: Age Of Ultron after all.

Check out the above video where Hiddleston reveals why he was cut from Avengers 2.

Hiddleston says he filmed the Thor dream sequence for one day, but when test audiences viewed Loki in the scene, they figured Loki played a larger role in the movie and was responsible for Ultron.

Hiddleston offers that Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige came to the conclusion that having Loki in The Avengers 2 would be too confusing for people, as it changed their expectations, so they had to cut Hiddleston out.

So essentially the reason for Loki being cut is because he’s too popular.

There is also question if Tom Hiddleston will be back for Thor 3 as Hiddleston actually questioned if fans want him back as Loki, and he also said he isn’t sure when he’ll play the role again.

My response would be that if Marvel thinks Hiddleston and Loki have grown too big — would be to give him his own darn movie.

Studio Wants Cabin In The Woods 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22322:]]

Even though Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon had a tough time getting Cabin In The Woods green lit, now it’s learned Lionsgate wants a sequel to the horror movie that surprised and shocked viewers back in 2012.

Director and co-writer Drew Goodard told Den of Geek the studios wants a sequel.

“The studio wants to do it. They’ve come to us,” Goddard said. “The funny part is, I don’t think we planned that movie to do a sequel, you know?”

As noted, if you saw the end of the movie, it really didn’t leave anything open for a Cabin sequel, but Goddard continues with mention anything is possible.

“That being said, the fun thing about Cabin is, the rules are pretty crazy. We get away with a lot of crazy stuff. So, I’m sure we could figure it out if we got inspired to,” Goddard offered. “I know Joss and I both feel like we don’t want to tarnish what we did with the first one. With a sequel, we’d only do it if it made us laugh hard enough, I suppose.”

Goddard does offer there is “nothing in the hopper right now,” but notes that could always change.

“The way Joss and I work, we might wake up tomorrow and go, ‘let’s go do that,’ or whatever.”

Perhaps Goddard and Whedon will wake up and want to do a Cabin In The Woods prequel?

Steven Spielberg Once Again Says Superhero Genre Will Collapse

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22318:]]

About a month ago saw Steven Spielberg make mention that the superhero movie genre will go the way of the Western genre and die.

Now while speaking with USA Today, Spielberg offers up more of the same sentiments.

In clarifying earlier statements he was thought to have said about the film industry as a whole, Spielberg offers that he was actually talking about the collapse of superhero films.

“To clarify, I didn’t ever predict the implosion of the film industry at all,” he explained. “I simply predicted that a number of blockbusters in one summer — those big sort of tent-pole superhero movies — there was going to come a time where two or three or four of them in a row didn’t work. That’s really all I said. I didn’t say the film industry was ever going to end because of them.”

Spielberg also continued with mention again of comparisons to Westerns.

“[The superhero genre] doesn’t have the legs or the longevity of the Western, which was around since the beginning of film and only started to wither and shrivel in the ’60s.” 

Spielberg’s comments caused Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder and Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige to respond.

Regarding Snyder’s response, which also contained a jab at Marvel, Snyder said he felt Batman and Superman were bigger than the superhero genre.

Kevin Feige’s own response didn’t seem to worrisome about the matter as Feige stated if Spielberg’s words hold true, that would mean Marvel is still in its infancy.

Lex Luthor Is Scary in Batman Vs. Superman Says Jesse Eisenberg

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22317:]]

Update: WB has launched a Lex Luthor viral marketing campaign.

 

If there was any question as to what kind of bad guy Lex Luthor will be in Batman Vs. Superman, Jesse Eisenberg offers up further evidence that this version of the Superman villlain will be none like previously seen on the big screen.

Talking with Vulture, Eisenberg reiterates Batman Vs. Superman‘s Lex Luthor will be different than the Richard Donner and Gene Hackman version, and even some of the comic books, which admittedly, have been a bit campy.

There is this trove of stuff about this guy. A lot of it’s repetitive, like he always winds up on the roof of his building giving some faux benevolent talk about how he’s going to change the city. It’s fun to take that campy cartoony stuff and try to put it into a real person and try to reconcile the two.

Eisenberg goes on to offer up a clue that Lex Luthor will come off as a bad guy, but just how so remains to be seen.

this movie is so different … it has real psychological underpinnings, and this movie character feels like a real scary person.”

“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. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs.

Watch: Knock, Knock “Breakfast” Clip

I’m sure this is just about every guy’s dream: You are home alone on a rainy night and lo and behold a knock (knock) at the door reveals two beautiful stranded girls who are in a bit of distress and need some assistance. Well, what turns out to be a dream quickly becomes a nightmare as the two girls turn out to be a bunch of psychos, which is pretty much the premise behind Eli Roth’s latest flick, Knock, Knock.

Check out the latest clip above with “Breakfast,” which reveals the morning after…

Knock, Knock has an October 9, 2015 release starring Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas.

Knock, Knock synopsis:

Evan Webber (Keanu Reeves) is living the dream. Just look at his beautiful, successful wife, his two wonderful kids, and his truly stunning house—which he designed himself. Of course he did. Things are going so well, Evan doesn’t even mind spending Father’s Day alone while the rest of his family heads out for a beach weekend. And then there’s a knock on the door.

The two young women (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) standing on Evan’s doorstep are where Evan’s dream takes a nightmarish turn. Given co-writer/director Eli Roth’s well-deserved reputation for creating cinematic discomfort, it should come as no surprise what happens next: Things get weird, and then dark, and then much, much, much darker. But this is no splatter film, so Roth keeps the horror nice and psychological as Evan’s life—and house—get ripped apart, piece by beautiful piece.

Attack On Titan screens in select U.S. theaters this month (part 1) and next month (part 2).

Info:

Attack On Titan Part 1

Japan, present day. The sudden arrival of the Titans – mysterious, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour human beings one after the other – brings mankind to the brink of extinction.

Fast-forward 100 years. What remains of the human population now survives in relative peace behind massive walls erected in defence against the Titans. Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Colossal Titan, measuring over 50 meters tall, smashes through the wall and allows a horde of other Titans to enter.

Eren Yeager had resigned himself to a life confined behind these walls. “Nothing I do would make a difference”, he thought. But when he joins the ‘Outer Wall Restoration Team’ set up to fight against the Titans, he is reunited with Mikasa, a childhood friend and someone he had long rued not being able to save. The new recruits embark on a mission to plug the gaping hole in the wall and stop the waves of titans once and for all. With humanity’s survival on the line, will there be a future for Eren and Mikasa, and for mankind itself?

Attack On Titan Part 2:

Eren and the others set out on a mission to restore the Wall that had been destroyed by a colossal Titan, but they’re suddenly faced with a quagmire when they’re attacked by a horde of Titans. Shikishima, the Titan-slaying captain of the Scout Regiment, arrives to save the day, but the Titans show no sign of letting up. During the battle, Eren is badly injured, and in the process of saving his friend Armin, he’s swallowed whole by a Titan. Just as all hope seems to be lost, a mysterious Titan with black hair suddenly appears and begins annihilating the other Titans.

If this mission fails, it will spell the end of humanity. Why did the Titans appear? Why do people continue to fight? The last counterattack to save human civilization is about to begin.

Fox Wants Kingsman: The Secret Service 2 To Film This Spring

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22303:]]

After grossing over $400 million worldwide, the sequel to Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service looks to start filming early next year.

THR reports Fox Studios wants Kingsman 2 to film this April, even though there is not a script and Taron Egerton may have a scheduling conflict.

It’s noted Fox has first dibs on Egerton, so that would mean as long as the script is ready, Kingsman 2 would kick off in the Spring.

Kingsman: The Secret Service debuted this past February and took the world by storm with a budget of $81 million. Egerton plays Gary Unwin. The movie also starred Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Michael Caine, Samuel L. Jackson and Mark Hamill.

Ghostbusters Animated Movie Rumored To Be In Development

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22302:]]

Joining the female Ghostbusters reboot and potential new male Ghostbusters film, it’s being said an animated Ghostbusters feature film is in development at Sony.

The news comes from the Tracking Board which states the animated Ghostbusters film is being produced by Tom Pollock and Ivan Reitman through their Montecito Picture Company, with Ali Bell and Kristine Belson overseeing for Sony Pictures Animation.

It’s said that the animated Ghostbusters movie will be similar to the 1984 original film which sees a “group of scientists teaming up to fight off ghosts, using gadgets and gizmos to capture the menacing ghouls who have invaded Manhattan.”

The rumor may have some merit as Sony is also developing an animated Spider-Man feature film.

Sony’s new Ghostbusters kicks off with Paul Feig’s female cast on July 15, 2016 starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth and Neil Casey.

The original actors are also set to cameo with Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver returning.

An animated Ghostbusters TV series aired back in 1986-1991 and in 1997.

Terminator “Universe” Said To Be On Hold Indefinitely

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22300:]]

With Marvel’s success comes everyone else trying to hop on the bandwagon.

Of course it makes sense for Warner Bros. to do it with their DC properties, but now Transformers is trying to create a shared universe and, up until now, a Terminator Universe was also being planned (both by Paramount, BTW).

Prior to the release of Terminator Genisys, in addition to two more sequels, it was said a Terminator TV series was also being planned.

However, that isn’t the plan anymore.

Terminator Genisys tanked with its release in the U.S. ($27 million opening weekend), and while it did well overseas, it’s said the film will still loose money.

So who’s to blame?

According to THR, it’s 32-year-old billionaire David Ellison, who financed Terminator: Genisys.

According to the report, Ellison offered his “two cents” a bit too much which resulted in a sub par movie. The report notes that this is the current trend in Hollywood (save for Disney) in that studios get outside financing, which in turn sees the financiers (i.e. “producers”) getting directly involved with the movies — resulting in flops.

Another example given is Thomas Thull of Legendary Entertainment who scored success by parterning on the Nolan Batman movies, but ended up losing money on Pacific Rim, with the sequel in question as the release date was recently shelved.

Ryan Kavanaugh is another example given, with it noted his Relativity Media is in bankruptcy. 

The moral of the story seems to be for these billionaires to “put up” and “shut up,” but the report mentions that might be difficult due to their billion dollar egos; so there may very well be a lot more subpar movies on the way.
