MOVIE NEWS
The latest roundup of the hottest news to come out over the
last couple of Days!
AVENGERS
 |
The Avengers Age of Ultron will be coming to us in 2015
which means 2015 will be one awesome year for movie, and comic book fans alike.
Joss Whedon recently confirmed that Quicksilver and Scarlett
Witch would be in the $1.5Billion dollar sequel, but with another chick added
to the mix what would happen to the red haired assassin Black Widow?
Whedon recently spoke
with Nerd HQ (via MTV) and revealed that Scarlett Johansson would have a lot to
play with this time around:
“Natasha is a huge part of the sequel because you do want to
concentrate on the people who don’t have their own franchises. Although she in
Cap 2, [and] she’s great. She was the most fun for me because she’s not a hero,
you know, and it’s something that I read—and I feel bad that I can’t remember
who wrote the book—but it’s in one of the books explaining, ‘These guys are
heroes, you are a spy. It’s a different thing—it’s a different skill set—and
you don’t have their moral high ground or any of that good stuff.’ And that
just makes her so interesting to me. So yeah, the stuff I’ve got going on with
her in the second one is killer.”
Whedon also revealed that Jeremy Renner would be getting a
lot more screen time as Hawkeye, as this time Whedon looks to have a lot more
fun scripting the character.
In a different interview, this time with Total Film, Whedon spoke
a little about ULTRON:
“I was pitching Ultron before I took the job on the first
movie. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this, but for the second one,
you should totally do Ultron.’ Because he’s been a thorn in their side as much
as any other character over the years and particularly back in my history.
He was great. He’s somebody who can juice things up and he’s
a real problem for the Avengers. That’s not always easy to find. It’s not like
the Vulture is really going to give them a hard time for 20 minutes.”
So we all know that Quicksilver will be in Avengers 2,what
we also know is that Aaron Johnson is being considered for the role, speaking
with Collider, the Kick-Ass star confirmed that he'd been approached for the
role and found it to be an "interesting" proposition.
"I feel really flattered and honoured that they came to
me for that role," he said. "I think he’s an interesting character
and we’re just going to keep going into that. I sat down with Joss, I think
he’s awesome, I sat down with the guys at Marvel and they’re also great; I
think it’d be interesting."
So there you have it! You got to wait a little while longer
for more on Marvel!
BUTTERFLY EFFECT
In Dumbest news for the week, it looks like there will be a
another Butterfly Effect film, and not its not a sequel, it’s a remake… I wish
I were joking.
This is where it really gets depressing, Eric Bress and J.
Mackye Gruber who wrote the original script, Variety is reporting that Bress is
on board to script the reboot. So yes the original writer is writing a new
version of the same story he got to put on the big screen 10 years ago. Talk
about a one trick pony!
There’s no director attached at this point, and hopefully
there will never be.
BEVERLY HILLS COP 4
Recently the Beverly Hills Cop TV series pilot was rejected,
meaning the show would never be developed to play on TV for a full season
unless some other network decided to pick it up!
That unfortunately did not happen but what did happen is
quite fortunate and really bizarre.
Deadline reports that Murphy’s performance “had people
talking”, so naturally, Paramount is now developing a 4th Beverly
Hills Cop TV series with Josh Appelbaum & Andre Nemec (Mission: Impossible
– Ghost Protocol) writing the script.
Guess it all worked out in the end!
X-FORCE
So just before the start of San Diego Comic Con news broke
that an X-Force film is in development, my heart jumped out of my chest with
pure excitement!
Since then we haven’t gotten much news about anything
concerning the film really. Until recently, when Jeff Wadlow, director of KICK
ASS 2, shared some of his thoughts:
"What ‘X-Force’ is – the way I talk about ‘X-Force’ is…
‘X-Men’ is about mutants, and not all the mutants get into the mansion. So I’m
curious to tell a story about the mutants who don’t make it into the mansion."
He was then asked about who his favorite characters are in
X-Force,
"Look, I’m a huge Deadpool fan, who doesn’t love
Wolverine – but obviously Cable is an iconic character we haven’t seen onscreen
yet. I love Psylocke, Domino is an amazing character – it’s a long list of
characters that have appeared in ‘X-Force’ – Colossus is in the current lineup…
There’s a lot of really exciting characters that you can use in ‘X-Force’ that
have been in other movies, that haven’t shown up, or maybe there’s ways to
re-imagine them, even though they might’ve shown up in other films."
My Personal line up includes CABLE, DOMINO, PSYLOCK,
FANTOMEX and of course DEADPOOL! So far it looks like I’m 4/5, Colossus would
be pretty cool if his in the film though, hopefully Daniel Cudmore gets to do a
whole lot more then he ever did in the Original Trilogy!
But that’s all for today! Make sure to check back here for
more!
