BATMAN V. SUPERMAN, THAT'S RIGHT ANOTHER POST...

AFFLECK, GADOT, & CAVILL

A SMALLER SCALE PREMIERE HAPPENED IN LONDON LAST NIGHT. AFTER THE ATTACKS IN BRUSSELS THE EVENT WAS THOUGHT TO POSSIBLY BE CANCELLED, BUT THE STARS STILL ARRIVED--THERE WAS JUST NO RED CARPET.
BATMAN V. SUPERMAN HAS ALSO SURPASSED THE PRE-SOLD TICKET SALES FOR BOTH AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON AND THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. THE 2.5 HOUR LONG MOVIE COULD POSSIBLY RAKE IN $350 MILLION ACCORDING TO THE WRAP AND CINEMABLEND.COM.
  

ALSO IN THE DC WORLD

SUICIDE SQUAD MOVIE PROMOTION

SUICIDE SQUAD WILL KEEP THE PG-13 RATING...FOR NOW. AFTER DEADPOOL'S SUCCESS AS AN R-RATED COMIC BOOK FLICK, SEVERAL OTHER MOVIES HAVE CONSIDERED FOLLOWING IN IT'S FOOTSTEPS AND CHANGING THEIR RATINGS. BUT SUICIDE SQUAD WON'T BE ONE OF THEM.

A SIDE NOTE FOR ALL YOU HARLEY QUINN FANS, THE ACTRESS WHO WILL BE HITTIN'

TONYA HARDING (LEFT) & MARGOT ROBBIE (RIGHT)

G THE SILVER SCREEN AS JOKER'S CRAZILY FUN SIDEKICK HAS BEEN ON FIRE! MARGOT ROBBIE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY SINCE HER DAYS IN THE WOLF ON WALL STREET (OK SO MAYBE IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO, BUT BOY DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT CONSIDERING HER SWAMPED SCHEDULE).  SUICIDE SQUAD, THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT, AND TERMINAL ARE JUST THE MOVIES SHE'S PREMIERING IN THIS YEAR. SHE'S ADDED ANOTHER FILM TO HER RESUME THIS WEEK--I, TONYA. ROBBIE WILL BE PLAYING TONYA HARDING, THE WORLD RENOWN FIGURE SKATER WHO FELL INTO OBSCURITY WHEN INVOLVED IN PLAN TO INJURE FELLOW SKATER NANCY KERRIGAN. A RELEASE DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN ANNOUNCE AND PRODUCTION HAS YET TO START.

THE CAPED CRUSADER GOES LEGO

THE TRAILER FOR THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE HAS FINALLY HIT THE WEB AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT REALLY IS AWESOME. AFTER THE OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF THE LEGO MOVIE, FANS WERE LEFT SALIVATING FOR MORE. DIRECTOR CHRIS MCKAY AND WILL ARNETT AS BATMAN WILL RETURN. RALPH FIENNES ALSO HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CAST AS ALFRED ALONG SIDE MICHAEL CERA
AS ROBIN, ROSARIO DAWSON AS BATGIRL, AND ZACK GILIFINAKIS AS JOKER. MCKAY IS COMPARING THIS MOVIE TO ABOUT A BOY, AS DIRECTED BY A WELL KNOWN ACTION GUY MICHAEL MANN. IF ANYTHING THE TWO THINGS WE DO KNOW IS THAT IT WILL BE HYSTERICAL AND EMOTIONAL. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO HERE'S THE TRAILER FOR THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE.

RUMOR ALERT:

RENNER IN MISSION IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION

AVENGERS STAR JEREMY RENNER MAY RETURN FOR THE 6TH INSTALLMENT OF MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. CHRISTOPHER MCQUARRIE WHO'S HEADING THE PROJECT AS BOTH WRITER AND DIRECTOR HAD A CONVERSATION VIA TWITTER WITH RENNER HINTING AT HIS RETURN. WILL RENNER WEAR THOSE FANCY SUITS AND ADD SOME CHEEKY WIT TO M:I 6? WHILE THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE YET SET WE HAVE TO IMAGINE THE CAST WILL HAVE TO BE STACKED WITHIN THE COMING MONTHS.

 INDIANA JONES 5 RECRUITS...

INDIANA JONES 5 HAS PICKED UP NONE OTHER THAN JURASSIC PARK WRITER DAVID KOEPP. KOEPP HAS AN EXTENSIVE RESUME INCLUDING MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, SPIDER-MAN, WAR OF THE WORLDS, AND CARLITO'S WAY. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M ON BOARD IF THIS GUY IS TAKING THE PEN TO THE PAPER FOR THIS ONE. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DIDN'T SEE THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS. BUT I MAY BE MORE ENTICED TO WATCH THIS ONE. ESPECIALLY IF HARRISON FORD IS ON BOARD. LET'S JUST HOPE SHIA LA BOUF GETS LEFT OUT OF THE CAST FOR THIS ONE AND SOMEHOW THE RUMORS OF CHRIS PRATT WINDING UP IN THIS ONE AREN'T JUST RUMORS.
