    Terminator Genisys 2015 updates: Terminator Genisys set between 1984 to 1991; actor Jai Courtney shares it's a completely different movie

    Terminator Genisys 2015 updates: Terminator Genisys set between 1984 to 1991; actor Jai Courtney shares it's a completely different movie Terminator Genisys updates: Actor Jai Courtney, who plays Kyle Reese in Terminator Genisys, reveals that the movie won't just be a reboot of the old Terminator movies. He tells Empire : "What I can say is that we start in a place we're familiar with from the early films and then, you know, circumstances change. It somewhat shifts the course of events from that point. It's not necessarily a sequel or a reboot. I don't even know how you brand it correctly. We're not remaking one of the early 'Terminator' movies. And it doesn't necessarily carry on from the point where we left off." Terminator Genisys plot is set sometime between 1984 and 1991, and will focus on time traveling T-800 robots. Producer Paramount Pictures has announced that Terminator Genisys release date has been set for July 1 2015, with sequels coming out in May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018. The original Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, reprises his role as the iconic cyborg. Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Dayo Okeniyi, Matt Smith, Byung-hun Lee, and J. K. Simmons also join the Terminator Genesis cast. The sci-fi action franchise, which focused on time-traveling cyborgs and their power to change the future, catapulted Schwarzenegger and director James Cameron to stardom. The original Terminator was followed by Terminator 2: Judgment Day in 1991, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, and Terminator Salvation in 2009. A spinoff TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, featured Lena Headey as Sarah Connor and Thomas Dekker as John Connor. Terminator Genisys is directed by Alan Taylor and is co-written by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier.

    The Latest Star Trek 3 News: J.J. Abrams Passes on the Director’s Chair to Bob Orci for the Star Trek 3 2016 Release

    The Latest Star Trek 3 News: J.J. Abrams Passes on the Director’s Chair to Bob Orci for the Star Trek 3 2016 Release Are you still wondering if William Shatner, the original Captain James Kirk of Star Trek 3 will really ever make a reprise of his role? Well, that remains unconfirmed. But here’s the newest buzz about the remake of Star Trek 3: the Search for Spock. Fans are guaranteed that director Bob Orci will definitely make the film phenomenal. Yes, there’s a change in who’s going to direct the remake. J.J. Abrams who was supposed to take charge of the movie passes on his directorial duties to Orci while he handles Star Wars: Episode 7. The new director is the most “trekkie” of all, so the Star Trek 3 cast members have no qualms that Orci will unquestionably make people blown away. According to Christian Today, “Some of the cast members set to reprise their roles in the third title have only words of admiration for the new director that will come to the Star Trek set. Karl Urban (Bones), Simon Pegg (Montgomery Scott) and John Cho (Hikaru Sulu) are confident that Orci's fine work will further transpire in the film now that he will be sitting in the director's chair. And as Urban put it, Star Trek 3 is going to be phenomenal and it's going to rock.” Since the new director had worked with the remake of the popular Star Trek franchise in 2009, it does make a lot of sense that he takes the rein with this installment. Star Trek 3 is set for release in 2016.

  • Top Gun 2
    Will Tom Cruise Return to the Big Screen as Maverick for Top Gun 2 Movie? Fans are Still Waiting for a Top Gun 2 Preview

    Will Tom Cruise Return to the Big Screen as Maverick for Top Gun 2 Movie? Fans are Still Waiting for a Top Gun 2 Preview Jerry Bruckheimer mentioned in an interview with Digital Spy that the storyline for the Top Gun 2 movie has been in the works for three and a half decades. He really wants a sequel to happen, even Tom Cruise who played Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the original 1986 film wants to reprise his role as a bold and brave young aviator of the US Navy. However, at the present, there is no concrete news as to whether or not the rumored Top Gun 2 full movie will materialize soon. Don’t get flabbergasted if you don’t find any Top Gun 2 trailer on the Internet because there is none yet. As far as we know, Cruise is very busy filming the fifth installment of Mission Impossible. The latest bit of news we have for now is that the original Top Gun movie director, Tony Scott left the movie’s producer and lead actor (Bruckheimer and Cruise, respectively) a concept to work on before his death (by jumping off a bridge). The storyline is about drones, which Cruise, as what Bruckheimer said in the interview, will prove that they are not outdated in the Top Gun 2 movie. Bruckheimer admitted that earlier they tried to develop something out of the plot given by Scott but were not successful. Now they are back to work on it. We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed for a Top Gun 2 release to happen. Both Jerry Bruckheimer and Tom Cruise are enthusiastic about it so that leaves us with something to look forward to.

  • Teen Titans TV show
    Teen Titans TV show joins the Superhero TV hype! No Teen Titans Cast Revealed Yet

    Teen Titans TV show to join the Superhero TV shows trend as ‘Titans’! Perhaps one of the biggest TV trend lately has been all about superheroes – well not yet really but it’s going there. We have Arrow, which was then followed by a spin-off based on the DC Comics character The Flash (let’s not forget Supergirl soon too.), then that’s when a bigger chance of expanding the DC universe becomes a good idea where the Teen Titans will be part of this hype, as the ‘Titans’. It was earlier announced that a television adaptation of the Teen Titans would be on air soon via TNT, according to producer Akiva Goldsman. The show is said to focus on Dick Grayson giving up being Robin to become the vigilante NightWing where along his journey he would then meet and recruit younger superheroes (Hello Starfire and Raven!) in helping him fight crime as they become the ‘Titans’. Another reason why the Teen Titans TV show is made possible would be because it’s one of the most popular comic books for quite a long time. While there isn’t any full length information for the Teen Titans TV show cast, it’s probably obvious it would be led by Nightwing. But we’re left wondering on, who would be joining him? Definite possibilities are Starfire and Raven, but come on, Beast Boy? Cyborg? Aqualad? Speedy? Bumblebee? There’s definitely a long list to consider including the original and current ones. Also, even though Teen Titans TV show is produced by TNT, it was reported that CW president, Mark Pedowitz says that the show might still take place in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash saying, “I cannot tell you yet. There are discussions going on”. Teen Titans TV show on TNT would soon air and would probably give out different plots for every episode to keep the audience in suspense.

    Supergirl TV Series: Joining the trend of superhero TV series; Plus Laura Vandervoort to play Supergirl?

    Supergirl TV Series: Joining the trend of superhero TV series; Plus Laura Vandervoort to play Supergirl? Another DC comic superhero is up for the TV screen to join the trend of superhero mania going on TV lately. Now here comes Supergirl who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped from its destruction. Supergirl is Superman’s cousin, where since she arrived on Earth, hid her own powers and later on embraces her superhuman abilities to become the hero she really is. Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler’s Supergirl TV series will hit the small screen with CBS. The Supergirl TV show on CBS is reported to be penned by Berlanti and Adler making all five networks having a superhero-themed series that will air next season, signaling a trend that would might work or not, but its Supergirl, there’s a big possibility it would work too. Supergirl TV show doesn’t have a lead character yet, but the actress who played the same character previously on The CW’s ‘Smallville’ – Laura Vandervoort has her own thoughts on the upcoming show. Vandervoort, in an interview with IGN at New York Comic Con 2014 according to sources, speaks out about the future Supergirl saying, “I just go for the women that are strong and can take care of themselves, so sci-fi sort of lends a hand to that… When I was cast in ‘Smallville’, that was awesome and a great start for me as Supergirl and it’s an iconic superhero. Playing her, I really had to fill some shoes that people had specific ideas on how she should come across and I think people were happy with that.” During the interview, many fans had asked if she would reprise her role once again and answered, “I saw a lot of Twitter comments when that was happening. People wanted me to play Supergirl and, you know, I don’t know what their plan is for it. I wish them well and maybe I can show up on it at some point.” Well, there’s a possibility. But whoever the next Supergirl to wear on that red boots, would surely be a kickass girl to join much more superheroes to come.
