Seriously, how many weeks are left in the 2015 summer movie season that do not have a huge ass movie opening??
Paramount has announced that the fifth film in the Terminator series will be released on June 26, 2015 and be the beginning of a new trilogy of films. Whether this will be a completely new story or try to link back to the Arnold films is not known. The script has been written by Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalorgridis and Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted to some involvement, but there are rumors that say that this will be a complete series reboot. We will just have to wait and see if Arnold will ask for someone’s clothes, boots and motorcycle.
Here is the first trailer from the Stallone and Schwarzenegger action flick Escape Plan. It looks like pretty standard fare when it comes to the two vets, but that’s not really a bad thing. Stallone plays a prison expert who is tasked with breaking out of incarceration to show weak points in security. When he is kidnapped and put away in a special prison called “The Tomb” he must find a way out and figure out who put him away. This is not to be confused with the wonderful Playstation Vita game of the same name.
The movie also stars our Lord and Savior Jim Caviezel, the giant cockroach from Law & Order, a guy that used to be a famous rapper and Michael Scott’s girlfriend.
Escape Plan releases on September 27th.
20 years ago on a random Friday night in September, a thirteen year old boy sat down to watch two new shows that would become some of the most memorable TV viewing of his life. One only lasted for one season (The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.) and the other would go on to run for nine seasons and 202 episodes reigniting the world’s obsession with aliens and the unknown.
20 years later The X-Files still stands up to most shows on the air today and to celebrate the anniversary there will a special panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. On Thursday, July 18th creator Chris Carter and Gillian Anderson will be joined by writers and producers David Amann, Vince Gilligan, Howard Gordon, Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan, John Shiban and Jim Wong to discuss the series and its place in sci-fi and TV history.
David Duchovny is not scheduled to appear…yet.
*UPDATE*
David Duchovny has confirmed that he WILL BE at the Comic-Con panel. So now it is a true reunion.
Vin Diesel, who is riding high off the success of Fast & Furious 6, surprised a lot with a message on his Facebook page yesterday which shows the star may be headed towards something even bigger than his Fast series.
“Marvel has requested a meeting … no idea what for … haha, you probably know better than me … “
Let the speculation begin!
Of course, the obvious thing that will be mentioned first is the role of Thanos that has yet to be cast for James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, but honestly there are so many Marvel movies in the pipeline that there are a dozen roles that could be discussed. Also, this could not be a meeting about a specific role, but seeing if Diesel would want to get involved with the Marvel Universe at some point. Only time will tell.
What do you think about this development? Is there any role you would like to see Diesel take on for Marvel or should he stick to fast cars and Riddick?
Maybe you were not excited at the news of a sequel to Independence Day a few days ago, but that is all about to change. Not only is Bill Pullman returning we also will get an actual Jeff Goldblum sighting in 2015. This is a rare thing. It is like seeing a rainbow colored unicorn pissing chocolate into a giant bowl of ice cream. I mean how many times do you see something like that in your life? Once, maybe twice considering how many times you ride the white pony?
Frankly I say it is a good thing Will Smith is off doing horrible Shaymalan movies because that just means more screen time for The Goldblum. Independence Day 2 just got good. Real good.
To celebrate next week’s July 4th holiday and the fact that we will get the ass end of an alien attack in 2015, have a quick laugh at the Honest Trailer for Independence Day.
Max Landis, son of Hollywood legend John Landis and screenwriter of [amazon_link id=”B005LAIGPU” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Chronicle[/amazon_link], loves Superman. This is no secret. Last year his YouTube video, The Death and Return of Superman, became an internet sensation garnering over 2 million views. It is funny as hell.
Now he is back giving his thoughts on this year’s blockbuster, Man of Steel, which he is (obviously) very opinionated about. I personally loved Man of Steel and yet still find Landis makes many valid points. It eventually becomes an indictment on superhero movies in general and will surely get some folks riled up.
I like Max Landis. I loved his Death and Return of Superman video and enjoyed the hell out of Chronicle. We didn’t enjoy Man of Steel the same way. Guess what? That is OK. Everyone has opinions and 98.3% of the time they will not be changed by bitching or arguing.
Variety is the spice of life people.
For those of you that want to relive the intense heartache that was the third season of Game of Thrones, you will get your chance to next year. HBO has announced that Season 3 will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on February 18, 2014, just over a month before the premiere of Season 4.
To keep you invested while you wait HBO is letting you vote on what exclusive packaging will accompany the set at Best Buy’s nationwide. There are three different sets to choose from including three character covers and two different sets of house sigils. All you have to do is go and like the HBO Facebook page and like which set you want to occupy your shelf space.
Of the three I prefer the character profiles, but if I had my druthers, I would go a different route.
Look below to see, but be warned!
Do Not Scroll If You Have Not Finished Season 3!!!
Last Warning!
I would like a hologram cover where you turn it from side to side and this happens:
