Marvel, Keanu, and Dragons oh my!

Marvel

Del Toro & Reilly from Guardians of the Galaxy

 James Gunn confirms that John C Reilly and Benicio Del Toro will not return for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Gunn stating that neither character fit into the mold for Volume 2. Del Toro has a role in the upcoming Star Wars Episode 8, which is well underway. As for Reilly he has Kong: Skull Island in post-production and a couple other films in pre-production, needless to say the guy is busy!

Keanu

This weekend the movie Keanu purred it's way into theaters. The cat-tastic move stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele and the plot focuses around Key and Peele and a do-rag wearing cat named Keanu, coincidentally who is voiced by Keanu Reeves. But that's not what our title of Keanu is about. We're actually wanting to talk about Mr. Reeves himself and John Wick 2. The next John Wick movie is still over a year away, but that doesn't mean Keanu Reeves hasn't started thinking about more sequels. He already has ideas and it looks like there may not be an end in sight for the action packed flick

Season 6 poster

Season 6 of Game of Thrones premiered last Sunday. While we're still not sure of John Snow's fate, the fate of the series itself is becoming a bit clearer. After Season 6 we may only have 13 episodes left in the series! Many fans are upset about this news, but it could be a smart move. Instead of dragging out the story, fabricating things-- away from Martin's vision since he has yet to release another book, and making us feel like the show has gone past it's life expectancy just the opposite is happening! Instead of feeling dismissive of the characters we have grown to love, we will be left wanting more. That's a high note to go out on!

Changes for the Globes

     Golden Globes is Changing

The Golden Globes last year allowed The Martian to enter into the Best Musical or Comedy. Before Ridley Scott’s outer space drama The Wolf of Wall Street too got to enter the same category. Both should have specifically been competing for Best Drama. The Hollywood Reporter posted about the new guidelines that will be applied to the Golden Globes for next year: “Motion pictures shall be entered in the category that best matches the overall tone and content of the motion picture. Thus, for example, dramas with comedic overtones should be entered as dramas”.  That definitely is a pointed comment toward The Martian.  While this may make picking a winner harder, it is fairer to the actual films in their respective categories. 

Civil War TV Spot

Roll Call!

Roll Call!!...wait what?! I guess for anyone who hasn't seen any of the last several Marvel flicks then this could help them out.
Here's a new TV spot that shows us who's who.

Who Won't Be Han Solo?

Who's Not Solo?

Dave Franco (Now You See Me) says he auditioned for the role of Han Solo in the spinoff project. How does he think he faired? Not so well. He thinks his name is no longer on the list or even being talked about.

Who Hasn't Seen It Yet?

Which Batman V Superman Star Hasn't Seen The Movie Yet? 

Jesse Eisenberg isn't one to watch his own movies. He only say Zombieland because Woody Harrellson, one of his co stars in the film, physically forced him to go into the theater with him. So has he seen Batman V Superman? Well, no. No he hasn't. So just because we see a star on the red carpet doesn't mean that they actually go take a seat in the theater.

Robbie and Quinn, how long will it last?

Recently Margot  Robbie said she wants to play Harley Quinn as long as she can physically keep up with the role. Considering she's in fantastic shape and seems to keep herself that way there shouldn't be an end in the near future of this 'twisted' relationship.

AMC Backs Down

AMC thought allowing viewers to text while watching a movie in their theaters may be a good idea, in order to keep people coming back to to watch at their establishments. But they quickly changed their minds when they got backlash from patrons and the internet. The idea has been kiboshed for now.

 The Mummy Adds More!

Courtney B Vance (Terminator Genisys and O.J. Simpson), also known as Mr. Angela Bassett, has been added to The Mummy cast! This 2017 release is getting stacked!

Dr. Strange Trailer

Dr. Strange Trailer Dropped

The Dr. Strange trailer was released this week and Marvel fans are jazzed about what's to come. Looking like a mix between Inception and The Matrix it definitely will make for an interesting film. Oh and Benedict Cumberbatch actually fakes a pretty good American accent.

Who Could Mr. Green Be?

The Grinch Stole Christmas is amongst the movies on the classic films on the re-make list. The actor to voice the Grinch himself has been chosen and the choice is perfect!

He has not yet been introduced in the Despicable franchise. Gru and Drew are identical twins and the only things that set them apart physically are their wardrobe and Drew’s blond hair. Trey Parker (South Park) has been cast as the bad guy, Balthazar Bratt. This new antagonist is a former “’80s child star who has been pissed at the world since he hit puberty and his show was cancelled” (cinemablend.com).

Have The Stars Aligned?

Arachnid Production Team Knows What Bad Guy They Want

Spider-Man: Homecoming May Have A Villain

The Spider-Man: Homecoming production team wants Michael Keaton as the villain in the movie. There are a couple theories as to who he could play. Some theories of who he may play are Carnage, Morbius, The Jackal, or Vulture. How ironic would it be if Keaton played Vulture?! After all he did just play Birdman.

Sir Elton John's New Role

Sir Elton Becomes A Kingsman

Sir Elton John is going from melodic piano man to actor? Rumor has it he is in talks to join the cast of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. While negotiations play out someone else has definitely signed on, Channing Tatum. His role is unknown.

Suicide Squad Spot

Suicide Squad Has Lightened Up

Last night the newest Suicide Squad trailer dropped and there's been some great buzz! The cast and crew are currently re-shooting some scenes to make the movie a little less dark, especially after Batman V Superman didn't make as much as the studio wanted it to. Now Suicide Squad will have a more fun feel so that it can separate itself from Zach Snyder's dark world. The only thing negative I've heard from fans (which really isn't even that negative) is one question, 'are the trailers giving too much away?' It's the worst when you go to a movie and realize that only the best parts, the parts worth watching were in the trailer and everything else really just doesn't amount to much. Many people, the faithful, are confident that not everything has been given away. For everyone's sake hopefully they're right. Check out DC's next blockbuster.

Rogue One Trailer

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer dropped just days ago, GMA getting the first chance to do so. Fans have been biting at the bit for its arrival in theaters and now that the trailer has dropped the want for the next galactic movie has increased. Surely everyone has gotten a chance to check out the trailer, so here's another look at the highly anticipated Rogue One.

Terminator 6 Still Possible

Schwarzenegger Says Terminator 6 Still Will Happen

Last year Terminator: Genisys  was released as a beacon of hope to revive the franchise, but it tanked (unable to gross over $90 million). Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator) thinks there could still be another movie. But studios have remained quiet about any future plans.
