In the film, Veronica Mars has put Neptune and her amateur sleuthing days behind her on the eve of graduating law school. While interviewing at high-end law firms, Veronica gets a call from her ex-boyfriend Logan who has been accused of murder. Veronica heads back to Neptune just to help Logan find an attorney, but when things don’t seem right with how Logan’s case is perceived and handled, Veronica finds herself being pulled back into a life she thought she had left behind.
Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman are the stars in the latest set of character posters from February's The LEGO Movie, featuring Wyldstyle and The Vitruvius.
The film stars Chris Pratt as a lowly LEGO builder, Emmett, who after a case of mistaken identity is believed to be "The Special", and must team up with other Lego Figures such as Batman (Will Arnett), Superman (Channing Tatum), Wonder Woman (Colbie Smulders), Vitruvious (Morgan Freeman), and mystic warrior Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) against the evil President Business (Will Ferrell) and his henchman, including Good Cop/Bad Cop, played Liam Neeson.
Earlier today it was reported the late Paul Walker was to be replaced in the Agent 47 film, now comes word that James Marsden (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, X2: X-Men United) might replace the deceased Fast & Furious star in The Best of Me, the latest in a long line of films that girls with post quotes to on their Facebook/Twitter for years to come.
Marsden’s deal needs to be negotiated, but the offer was just made for him to star alongside Michelle Monaghan. Relativity had been quietly looking to recast since the tragedy that took Walker’s lifelate last year. This had boiled down to a short of Marsden and Magic Mike’s Joe Manganiello.
As for the plot, well, it sounds like a Nicholas Sparks thing:
Book is about two former high school sweethearts reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of the beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the sparks, but the forces that drove them apart back then still get in the way.
Will Fetters (The Lucky One, Remember Me), J. Mills Goodloe, and director Michael Hoffman (A Midsummer's Night Dream, The Last Station) are writing the script, based on Spark's novel.
In a time of remakes, prequels, preboots, requels, semakes, and super-hero films, one thing will always guide us through the difficult future ahead: There will ALWAYS be a Late 80s-Early 90s film that needs to be redone for whatever reason.
The latest comes from Variety, who reports that Gerard Butler (Olympus Has Fallen, Law Abiding Citizen) is in talks to take the role of Bodhi, the character played by the late Patrick Swayze in the 1991 Kathyrn Bigelow classic.
Ericson Core has been attached to direct Kurt Wimmer’s screenplay, set in the world of extreme sports. The remake will retain the original story of an FBI agent infiltrating a ring of criminals.
Butler will play Bodhi, the thrill-seeking surfer portrayed by Patrick Swayze in the original. Butler also surfed in the 2012 drama “Chasing Mavericks” as Frosty Hesson.
No word yet on who might play Quarter-back punk Johnny Utah, played by a young Keanu Reeves; but I'd say you might want to see if Johnny Manziel is interested in a film career.
Though 20th Century Fox is handling distribution, Fox International and Square Enix were the driving forces in getting the film up and running. Walker’s commitment was a major part of the film getting a greenlight, and after the actor died it looked as if this film would not be able to move forward, since the production start date was set for February and there was no major star involved.
The film, AGENT 47, is being directed by Aleksander Back off of a script by Skip Woods (A Good Day to Die Hard, Swordfish) and Michael Finch (Predators) and based off of the best-selling Square Enix video-game franchise which follows a nameless clone who works for "The Agency", recognizable only by a bar code on the back of his head. The games rely on disguise and theatricality as the player navigates through open maps to complete an assassination.
Friend certainly looks the part, a lot more than Walker did, and I loved Walker; but always felt him as Agent 47 was strange. Friend is a diabolical badass on Showtime's Homeland and could definitely bring the menacing cold of Agent 47 to screen perfectly.
The first film, HITMAN, made $92 million world-wide.
If Quicksilver had lightning bolts in his hair or as a belt, or most importantly if this was exactly how Aaron Taylor-Johnson appeared in The Avengers: The Age of Ultron, no fanboy freak-outs.
Instead it's Evan Peters (AKA: the future Mr. Emma Roberts) for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Bryan Singer is a more polarizing figure in the dweeb-o-sphere than Joss Whedon. They can't help but bitch. It is all they know, and they conveniently forget the seizures induced when Singer opted out of blue-and-yellow spandex for the black leather suits. He looks fine.
Entertainment Weekly has debuted their 2014 Preview cover and it features cinema's newest Batman, Ben Affleck, snuggling up to his dead wife's body (Rosamund Pike) for David Fincher's adaptation of the Gillian Flynn best-selling novel, Gone Girl.
Yeah, sure it's a bit weird, but it's David Fincher who photographed the still exclusively for the publication. That man's name alone gets me in the theater, and this creepy looking image seems to give a sense of the tone the great director is going for.
For those unfamiliar, Gone Girl tells the story of Nick Dunne (Affleck) whose wife (Rosamund Pike) goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary, only to have all eyes point towards him as the killer.
I am yet to read the book but will likely stay away until I see the film to not spoil any plot twists.
Gillian Flynn also wrote the screenplay which is pretty rare for today's modern moviemaking when an author pens the script for their own feature-film adaptation.
Gone Girl opens October 3rd so expect a trailer and poster to be released fairly soon.
Matt Reeves (Let Me In, CLOVERFIELD) will apparently be directing the follow up to his own film, this summer's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Deadline has reported.
This news comes after (apparently REALLY positive) early screenings of the film, and 20th Fox was apparently REALLY seeing dollar signs, as it's expected Reeves will begin production immediately, although this time Reeves will go on with Mark Bomback, not bringing Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa (Jurassic World, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) along with them.
Bomback also co-wrote Dawn, as well as this summer's 50 Shades of Grey, The Wolverine, and Total Recall. The deal is apparently locked, and no release date or title has been dropped; but hell, I'd wager $50 that Battle of the Rise of the Conquest of the Planet of the Apes will probably drop with a Summer '16 release.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes hits theaters July 11, coming off of 2011's surprising pre-boot of the franchise, which went on to gross $482 Millon, and stars Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, and Andy Serkis as Caesar in a story that follows the remaining humans in and uneasy truce with Caesar's followers after the Simian Flu has wiped out more than half of Earth's population.
The LEGO Movie recently dropped posters for Lego Batman (Will Arnett) and Lego Superman (Channing Tatum), as well as a brand new TV Spot, well now we have a character poster for Benny, or as he was named in the trailer, '1980s-Something Space Guy' played by Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses, Pacific Rim).
What's stunning is the attention to detail we've seen in these minifugures so far, especially with Benny here, having bite-marks, a broken helmet, and the chipped painting of the eyes and mouth.
One thing is certain above all else, The LEGO Movie will bring home an animation award from almost any ceremony it's nominated at.
The film stars Chris Pratt as a lowly LEGO builder, Emmett, who after a case of mistaken identity is believed to be "The Special", and must team up with other Lego Figures such as Batman (Will Arnett), Superman (Channing Tatum), Wonder Woman (Colbie Smulders), Vitruvious (Morgan Freeman), and mystic warrior Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) against the evil President Business (Will Ferrell) and his henchman, including Good Cop/Bad Cop, played Liam Neeson.
Cortesy of The Wrap comes news of a promising "psychological thriller" that takes place during World War I, starring Victoria Summer (Saving Mr. Banks, Transformers: Age of Extinction), Chris Klein (American Pie, ROLLERBALL) and Werner Daehn (xXx, Speed Racer).
The indie movie stars Klein as an American pilot flying for the French under the Associated Powers during WWI. He’s sent to the Arabian Desert to recover a downed German pilot (Daehn) and the top-secret information he’s carrying.
Accompanying him is an inexperienced English nurse and German translator (Summer). All three are thrust into a web of lies and deceit that sets in motion a deadly game of survival.
The film also marks the directorial debut of Damien Lay, who has amassed a fair share of documentaries under his belt, mainly in the mysteries of World War II in M24: The Last Sunrise and He's Coming South as well as the Vietnam War doc, The Battle of Long Tan.
I'm a sucker for World War-set mysteries, so The Uber Kanone sounds like something I'll watch day one.
