MOVIE ROUNDUP
Here is some of the latest and hottest news to come out this
week!
THE FUTURE OF MARVEL… THAT THOR TRAILER!
Since their beginning Marvel has always looked to the future
to plan what comes next even before their present obligations have been fully
realized.
We already know that there will be Two Marvel films in 2016
and one in 2017, yet there still no word on what those films might be. Nevertheless
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says they've got things mapped out even
further down the road.
"I could arguably say what we're planning for the year
2021," Feige told WIRED. "Will that happen? I don't know. But what we
planned for 2015 in 2006 is happening." Marvel's 2015 plans include
Avengers: Age of Ultron and the long awaited Ant-Man feature.
Feige also teased further expansion of the Marvel Cinematic
Universe with future films. "Five years ago, looking at our plan, we knew
that if Avengers was going to work, the movies had to stand alone," he
says. "Now we have to prove to the studio that we're more than just these
five characters, these five franchises."
It has been hinted in the past that Marvel has plans for new
characters in Phase Three like Doctor Strange and The Black Panther, while many
fans have been eagerly waiting to hear Marvel announce a Captain Marvel and
Heroes for Hire feature.
In other Marvel related news, a new Trailer for THOR: THE
DARK WORLD released, and MAN! IT LOOKS GOOD!

Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, and Jaimie Alexander all return

WHATS NEXT FOR LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce and potentially star in
King Harald, a historical biopic about Harald Hardrada, the 11th century Viking
king.
DiCaprio, who recently appeared in Quentin Tarantino's
Django Unchained and Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, reteamed with Martin
Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street, which would be releasing a little later
this year.
Leonardo DiCaprio has also been said to be in talks for a
live-action, Hollywood adaptation of Robotech. Latino Review reports that Leo
turned down a role in Star Wars: Episode 7 to potentially star in this Robotech
adaption.
This certainly isn’t the first time that Leonardo has been
linked to an anime adaption, as he has been in talks to produce Ninja Scroll as
well as produce and potentially star in an Akira adaption, in the past.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
"Brightest set I've ever filmed on," Singer
tweets, following with the hashtags, "#3600framespersecond
#Quicksilver"
It appears that, to capture Evan Peters' (aka Quicksilver) turn as the fast-moving son
of Magneto, Singer is capturing footage in extreme slow motion. The end result
of 3600 frames per second will appear 150 times slower than standard film and,
as such, requires significantly more lighting to expose each frame. Although
it's hard to see exactly what he's filming, you can check the basic setup in
Singer's image below.
Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy,
Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore,
Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing and Boo Boo
Stewart also star in the mutant ensemble, set for release July 18, 2014.
EXPENDABLES 3
Stallone tweeted recently that Harrison Ford would be making
his debut in the latest Expendable film, with Bruce Willis exiting the
franchise.
Stallone stated that he has “been waiting years for this” re:
working with Ford
Stallone followed the news up with a tweet that appears to
be aimed squarely at Willis: “GREEDY AND LAZY... A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER
FAILURE.”
Red Hill director Patrick Hughes is poised to direct the
sequel with a cast that includes Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes,
Kellan Lutz, and Milla Jovovich. There have been rumours that Mel Gibson will
be playing the villain, but nothing has come of that as yet.
Production on Expendables 3 should begin later this year or
early next year, as the film is slated for release on August 15, 2014.
THE WOLVERINE
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) was originally supposed to helm
the latest Wolverine adventure, alas he passed on the film and as a result
James Mangold took the reigns.
Recently Aronosfky tweeted
With James Mangold replying,
Awww isn’t that lovely! The Wolverine got Aronofsky’s
approval, as well as my own, CLICK HERE FOR MY REVIEW.
Definitely an awesome film, I suggest you check it out, and
if you did already check it out again!
