First Trailer For Bullet To The Head

Bullet To The Head  is a Sylvester Stallone film that was filmed before The Expendables 2, but it's release date was set back until next February. Stallone plays a hit-man on a revenge mission. Here's the new trailer:

Writer For Scorsese's Sinatra Biopic

Director Martin Scorsese has been working on this project for a long time. He has said he has always wanted to make a film about the life of the great singer Frank Sinatra, but after his Rat Pack project that had Tom Hanks and John Travolta signed to it failed to make it to the screen, people thought this dream would never see the light of day. But it is now happening, and writer Billy Ray will be writing. The question now is, who will play Sinatra? Personally, I'd like to see Pierce Brosnan have a go at the role.

Dale Dickey In Iron Man 3

True Blood's Dale Dickey will appear in Iron Man 3, though alot of mystery is surrounding her role. Apparently her IMDb page says her character is called "Mrs. Davis". Hhmm...

Casting News For Kick-Ass 2

Robert Emms (War Horse) and Morris Chestnut (Boyz n the Hood) have both been cast in Kick-Ass 2, the sequel to the hit superhero spoof movie of 2010. Emms will play Insect Man and Morris Chestnut has been cast as "essentially...the guardian". 

Chestnut has also landed a role in Brad Anderson's thriller The Hive alongside Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin.

But back to Kick-Ass 2. Another potential cast member is the brilliant funny-man Jim Carrey. Carrey is said to be a big fan of the original film, and is currently in talks to play 'Colonel Stars', a superhero with a military theme.

FILM NEWS - "The Hunger Games" Sequels, "After Earth" Teaser, "Pacific Rim" Costumes, "The Wolverine" Casting and "Oz The Great And Powerful" Trailer

And now all other film news, mostly from Comic-Con. Enjoy...

The Hunger Games Sequels
If you didn't know, because you've had your head stuck in a rock or you've been spending a long time trimming your nasal hair, Comic-Con was last weekend. And it's safe to say, it was pretty mahoosive.
So, The Hunger Games. As we all knew, after the success of the first installment earlier this year, Lionsgate plan to go ahead with the whole series, the next film being Catching Fire (due 22nd November 2013). New cast members include Amanda Plummer (who will play Wiress) and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who will play Plutarch Heavensbee).
And now onto the next film. The third and final story in the books is Mockingjay. It has been confirmed that, like Harry Potter and Twilight, the last installment will be split into two films.

After Earth Viral Teaser

The upcoming Sci-Fi movie starring Will and Jaden Smith released it's first teaser trailer at Comic-Con. It's certainly intriguing, and makes it a film to look out for.

Pacific Rim Suits
Not much is known about this upcoming Sci-Fi starring Idris Elba. "When an alien attack threatens Earth's existence, giant robots piloted by humans are deployed to fight off the menace". The team behind the film showed off some of the suits they are using in the film at Comic-Con.

New Cast For The Wolverine

The upcoming sequel to the X-Men prequel (confusing right) X-Men Origins: Wolverine has got a new cast member. Jessica Biel will play Viper in the film, who is a variation of the character Madame Hydra from the comics. Biel is also to appear in the remake of Total Recall, which also was previewed at Comic-Con.

Oz The Great And Powerful Trailer

A new prequel to The Wizard of Oz starring James Franco and Mila Kunis released this trailer at Comic-Con.

FILM NEWS - Action & Super hero & More News

Super Hero News!
The Dark Night Rises
You can listen to the full score to The Dark Night Rises by Hans Zimmer here! However some thing listening to this may spoil the film. All spoilers have been removed from the track names! A synopsis has also been revieled, this may contain minor spoilers. See it here:

"It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of DA Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane."

There is a new trailer seen bellow!


Christopher Nolan has said that The Dark Knight Rises will be it for him working with batman so i guess that means he isn't making the Justice league.


Dredd
Writer Alex Garland has plans for a possible Dredd 2 and Dredd 3. He said at comic-con:
“In the sequel. Which we can make as long as the film grosses over $50 million in the States. It might be tough – this is an 18, an R rating. The first time I sat down to do the script I did 16 drafts of Death. It didn’t feel right. We needed to set it all up first. The next version was all sort of the Long Walk and America, but we needed to get to know Dredd and everyone first. The trilogy would be this film, then Origins and then the Dark Judges".


Fantastic 4
The Director of Chronicle, Josh Tarnk, is confirmed for The reboot of The Fantastic Four. Which is good because I really liked Chronicle.


The Wolverine
Hugh Jackman is returning to play The Wolverine. The Wolverine will not be a follow-on from the not-very-popular X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Instead, this is going to be more of a standalone adventure, loosely based around the Japan saga by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont. Hiroyuki Sanada, from Lost and Rush Hour 3, will be playing Shingen. Then Hal Yamanouchi, from The Life Aquatic, amongst many other movies, will be Yashida in the movie. Brian Tee from Grimm is set to play a corrupt minister by the name of Noburo Mori. And then Will Yun Lee will be the villain. He's playing Kenuichio Harada, who will be in Silver Samurai guise probably.

Amazing Spiderman
The new reboot is set to be at least a trilogy. However is is uncertain who will be the directors for the other films.


Iron Man 3
Concept art has been revealed for the new film which has just started filming! The film will be based on Warren Ellis' Iron Man: Extremis. It will have Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall as virus-developing scientists, with Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin. (no not the fruit)


Guardians Of The Galaxy
Ok update from last week! The characters are probably Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered artificial human with super-powers. Drax the Destroyer, a human spirit inhabiting an artificial alien body created to hunt and kill Thanos. Gamora, a super-strong alien and the adopted daughter of Thanos. Phyla-Vell (aka Quasar), the daughter of Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. Rocket Raccoon, an intelligent anthropomorphic alien raccoon who captains his own starship. Groot, an extra-terrestrial plant-man. Moondragon, a telepathic/telekinetic human raised by Thanos' father, Mentor who is the daughter of Drax's human incarnation. And finally, Bug, an insectoid superhero from the microverse. And Thanos is the evil guy who looks like that guy to the right, remind you of anyone? (Avengers end credits) 

Action Stuff News!
The Man With Iron Fists
Rza's upcoming martial arts movie The Man With the Iron Fists has the Wu-Tang man writing (with Eli Roth), directing and starring in the film.


Assassins creed Movie
Michael fassbender will star in and co-produce the movie. This movie is looking to be good as Ubisoft are funding it so no one screws around with their story lines.

After Earth
First synopsis relieved for Will Smiths next movie coming next June:
“In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.”
It is directed by M Night Shayalan's who did The Last Airbender which I liked!
