Shia LaBeouf is reportedly in talks to join writer/director David Ayer's Fury, an action-thriller set at the end of World War II involving a battle-hardened Sergeant and his five-man crew who - with command of a Sherman tank - cross over enemy lines to face-off against the heart of Nazi Germany.
Brad Pitt is already on-board to play the lead role of Sgt Wardaddy (wow?) while LaBeouf will play a military officer under the command of Pitt's character.
Ayer - coming off the very underrated End of Watch - is currently prepping the film while finishing up his next flick, Ten, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, set for release next January.
LaBeouf can currently be seen in the Robert Redford directed, The Company You Keep, while Pitt has the summer blockbuster, World War Z, coming out June 21st.
Filming on Fury is set to begin in September with a firm release date set for November 14th, 2014.
A new-ish trailer for The Wolverine has arrived, this time for the film's Japan release, which is scheduled for September. Basically, it's a mashup of the previous domestic and international trailers, with more of the film's Japanese setting and minus the Jean Grey cameo. The movie is apparently also called The Wolverine: SAMURAI in Japan, which is extremely cool and should totally happen here, because that is awesome:
The new trailer for THOR: The Dark World has landed online and it's fucking awesome. Spoiler alert Thor is a total badass throughout. When I first saw Thor back in 2011 I wasn't immediately sold on it, I knew right away that I liked it a lot more than Captain America: The First Avenger, but it wasn't until after last years Avengers that I really came around on the demi god turned bad motherfucker. I'm looking more forward to this than the follow up to cap. The new trailer is only a teaser, but it gives us just enough to get excited for.
The story centers on Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, "Carrie" is directed by Kimberly Peirce with a screenplay by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
The supehero fan community has been granted a large amount of goodies during the past week. Top of the heap has to go to the new Man of Steel trailer, but following that there has been a ton of new images, first looks, and posters to go along with it.
We've seen new images from the upcoming Spider-Man flick, getting first looks at Harry Osborn and Electro with the latter villain raising more than a few eyebrows around the web. Even today Bryan Singer tweeted out the first look at Halle Berry as Storm from his return to the X-Men film franchise while Iron Man is plastered all over our tv's with the 3rd installment less than 2 weeks away now.
So in all of this mix of superhero goodness where has the almighty Thor been? Much of The Dark World is still under wraps as far as officially released images, but a pretty standard poster for the movie was released last week with Thor summoning lightning in the snow.
These two new images from USA Today very well have seemed to be lost amongst all the other comic related properties right now. They don't reveal a whole lot except that Jane Foster looks to be taking a trip to Asgard. I'm sure they will find a way to explain how she is able to be there after Thor destroyed the Bifrost in the first movie, or maybe they will just gloss over it like Whedon did in Avengers. Hemsworth even commented on how Thor may be in the doghouse a bit for not finding Jane once he returned to Earth.
"Thor still has lot of explaining to do, and a lot of making up," says Hemsworth. "Even demigods end up in the doghouse, mate. So none of us is safe."
And he also mentions Loki's return as well, showing that no matter how often the brothers are at odds, there will be times when they have to look to each other for help in dire situations.
"Needing Loki's help turns everything on its head," says Hemsworth. "And it allows us to explore the underlying complexities of their relationship. It really ends up being a kind of chess match."
Movies benefit from the combination of great direction, tone, acting and easily as importantly the music. So many great movie moments have been made as powerful as they are by the backdrop of the music. I’m not talking about an amazing score by a composer, because if that were the case John Williams would monopolize the top 3-4 spots on my list without even thinking too hard on it. I couldn’t write about great scores without it turning into a John Willams dick sucking marathon, so I opted out of going that route. I mean popular music used in the place of a score to add weight or levity to a scene.
Originally I planned to write a top ten list, but a few entries in I realized I couldn’t rank any one over the other. So the list is in no real order, just random choices of great uses of music in movies. I should also note some of the language and or wording in the article may be considered politically incorrect or ignorant etc. If you’re offended and not entertained by anything in this article; you can either grow a pair of balls and quit being so hypersensitive, or continue to be the little bitch you are and cry about it in the comments section below.
Drive “Various Artists - The Entire Fucking Soundtrack”:
Pretty well every song in drive works perfectly. The movie wouldn't be as good as it is without the music. It's not for everyone though. My mom brought up to me that she thought Drive would have been a great action flick had it not also been a gay fucking musical, her words. Granted she might be a little out of touch with current movies, but she sort of does have a point. Drive is like a modern art film fucked an 80s/90s action flick and had a gay fucking musical throwback action flick baby. On the other hand she also thinks they need to "remake" not reboot Batman (1989). She says it’s because the batman movies now don't "get it".
Reservoir Dogs "Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You":
The torture scene between Michael Madsen and the cop in reservoir dogs still cracks me up every time I watch it. The song playing throughout surely adds to the twisted hilarity of the scene. Without that song there I don't know that it could have been as entertaining or hilarious as it is. The comedy however dark it may have been would have been a lot tougher to sell without such an up tempo song to be cutting peoples ears off to.
Fight Club “The Pixies - Where Is My Mind”:
In the final scene of Fight Club it’s revealed that Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden character and Ed Norton’s unnamed narrator are one in the same. After nearly killing himself while killing off his schizophrenic alter ego Ed Norton watches out the window with his girlfriend as skyscrapers start to fall to the sound of The Pixies “Where is My Mind”. At that moment that song became my ‘end of the world’ song. If the Mayans had been right or North Korea had a bigger set of balls and/or brains and we really were facing the end, then that would be my go to last song. It probably meant drastically different things for everyone, but for me it made the end of that movie amazing and gave me my apocalypse anthem.
Armageddon “Areosmith - Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”:
I don’t give a fuck if you hate Michael Bay, Armageddon is still a good fucking time. Yes he made a shitty Transformers movie with racist robots (I like the first and third entries), but that motherfucker still delivered a few great flicks, Armageddon being one of them. Despite the glaring and obvious plot holes if you can shut your brain off for a couple hours and become emotionally invested in the characters, then when you hear Areosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” you’re able to connect with Horse Mouthed Liv Tyler and Ben Afleck just long enough to actually give a shit when Bruce Willis sacrifices himself for them to be together. That shit still makes me sad every time I watch it.
Goodfellas “Eric Clapton - Layla”:
Goodfellas is one my all-time favorite movies. Part of the reasoning behind that is the iconic ending narrated by Ray Liotta to the backdrop of Eric Clapton’s Layla. The montage of people wacked by DeNiro’s Jimmy played out perfectly with music you wouldn’t otherwise associate with mass mafia murder. Scorsese is the fucking man when it comes to picking music to end his movies to.
Casino “The Animals - House of the Rising Sun”:
Similar to Goodfellas Casino ends with murder and an unconventional but fitting song to accompany it. House of the Rising Sun is my bury motherfuckers in the desert alive after beating them to death song. So if we’re ever fighting and I call you out of the blue to go on a road trip out of town, think nothing of it.
Cruel Intentions “The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony”:
Following the scene in Cruel Intentions when Sebastian is killed while saving Annette’s life is his funeral. During the funeral the camera closes in on a portrait of Sebastian and then ‘Bitter sweet Symphony’ by The Verve starts up as it pans back out. The first time I saw it I expected Sebastian to be outside alive and well with the same shit eating grin on his face, but that fucker actually was dead. Now every time I watch that fucking movie I get bummed out when he dies because I know him and his shit eating grin are no more. That song just does it for me during that scene though. If you liked Cruel Intentions like I did, then you know exactly what I’m saying.
Skyfall “Adele - Skyfall”:
Before having heard the theme to Skyfall by Adele I hadn’t actually heard of her or any of her music. I have now, and fuck is she one talented fat British chick! The opening song to Skyfall was fucking amazing. I’m a huge Bond fan and I can say that Adele’s Skyfall is by far one of my favorite Bond Themes for the entire franchise. When you first heard it if you didn’t just think to yourself or even say out loud “fuck yeah!”, then you’re dead inside, and you’re dead to me too.
8 Mile “Eminem - Lose Yourself”:
The semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile loosely based on rapper Eminem’s life may not have been an amazing film. But the soundtrack was pretty fucking great. This song in particular plays more like an anthem than a backdrop to a particular scene or moment. It gives you chills when you hear it, especially in the context it’s used in the movie. It’s inspirational and emotional and might actually be the best part of the movie.
Titanic “Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On”:
Every time I watch Titanic already knowing how it will end I get bummed out at the sound of this fucking song. I know that dumb bitch Rose with let Jack die every god damn time I hear it. Celine Dion is such a dirty cunt for having a song that makes me give so much of a shit about these fictional characters. I love the movie and the song does fit quite well, but still fuck you Celine, you did this to us!
Watchmen “All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix”:
I had a tough time picking any one song from Watchmen, but Hendrix in this case trumps all. I loved all the unintentionally hilarious scenes with the blue cock swinging Dr. Manhattan, but this scene was one of my favorites. Backing out and seeing the huge ass smiley face he carved in the moon was fucking priceless. Thanks to Jimi Hendrix it was fucking awesome too.
Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
In case you have been living under a rock, there's a new Spider-Man movie and, as we reported a few days ago, you've seen Electro, so now you get to see Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon, and Daniel DeHaan as Harry Osborn for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 also stars Paul Giamatti as The Rhino and Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane-Watson.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, opening in theaters on May 2, 2014, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
Is that not what you wanted? Did you want Dinklage or Fassbender or a Sentinel? Too bad, nerds.
All things considered, I'm loving the gruff kind of "armor" the future X-Men seem to be wearing that we kind of saw with Xavier and Ice-Man, and can't wait to see the full cast all decked out.
It's been a good few days for getting glimpses of upcoming movie characters like Electro, Harry Osborn, and now Storm.
I'm still hoping for a pic of Fassbender...please...
