    Jupiter Ascending Release, Latest News: Wachowskis Still Getting Additional Special Effects Worked Into the Movie In Time For New Feb. 6, 2015 Release Date

    Jupiter Ascending Release, Latest News: Wachowskis Still Getting Additional Special Effects Worked Into the Movie In Time For New Feb. 6, 2015 Release Date Jupiter Ascending will be released for theater on screening on February 6, 2015, a seven-month reset from the originally-set schedule of July 18 this year. According to Hollywood Reporter’s insider sources, the release postponement was made because the film still needed more special effects work done. According to Variety, the decision “was prompted by weak response to a research screening in late April and the fact that the visual effects, on which the futuristic thriller heavily relies, were incomplete.” Warner Bros.’ domestic distribution chief Dan Fellman told Variety that the Wachowskis needed more time to complete their work on more than 2,000 special effects shots in the film. Said he, “With the July release date, they were just not going to make it on time. A lot of the issue for us was getting it ready for the international release, since the foreign territories need additional time.” Warner Bros. and Australia’s Village Roadshow Pictures co-financed Jupiter Ascending, a $150 million project. Warner will pay over $100 million for the worldwide marketing of the movie while the remainder will be covered by Village Roadshow. Jupiter Ascending is written, produced and directed by The Wachowskis, the brother-and-sister team of Andy and Lana Wachowski of The Matrix trilogy and V for Vendetta fame. The upcoming film is meant to mark their long-awaited return to the science-fiction genre after “The Matrix” movies. The Wachowski-s last two films, Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer, bombed at the box office. The forthcoming sci-fi flick tells the story of Jupiter Jones (played by Mila Kunis), a lowly, unlucky Chicago cleaning lady who learns that she’s been pre-destined to become Queen of the Universe. Aside from Kunis, others in the cast include Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Boothe, Tuppence Middleton, Bae Doona, James D’Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith, David Ajala, Charlot Beaumont, Terry Gilliam, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sarah Campbell, Kick Gurry, Edward Hogg, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Luke Neal.

  • The Expendables 4
    The Expendables 4 Release, Latest News: New Cast Will Include Dwayne Johnson, Jacky Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Robert De Niro?

    The Expendables 4 Release, Latest News: New Cast Will Include Dwayne Johnson, Jacky Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Robert De Niro? The Expendables 4 movie is confirmed for go. As things now stand, producer Avi Lerner as well as director, writer and star Sylvester Stallone are already hard at work trying to put together the final cast for the fourth installment in the franchise ensemble action film series. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson admitted that he’d be open to an offer but would prefer to play the villain. Through Reddit’s AMA (Ask Me Anything), he tweeted, “If you're asking if I would consider being in the EXPENDABLES franchise - then the answer is yes. BUT.. I don't want to be on their team and be buddies with them. F*ck that noise. I want to hunt every single one of them down and tell them to "send your soul to heaven cause your ass is mine." Rousey lives cause she'd be my characters training partner and Crews lives as well cause my character would need someone to compete at pec popping with.” Pierce Brosnan told Coming Soon that he would want to do Expendables 4. He said that in a talk back in March, “I said to Avi Lerner, 'If it works out and you have a good script, Avi, you know where to find me if you still want me.' It's as simple as that really. I had a grand time in his company. Sylvester Stallone is the one that's given us these wonderful platforms for actors who have and had careers to go play and have fun and to entertain. To bring a bunch of guys together who saved the world, fought the bad guys, and put them all on the same stage, that's crazy good." Jackie Chan, in an interview with Den of Geek, confirmed that he was already asked by Stallone to do the movie and he said “‘Okay.’ Because they already asked me to be in 2 and 3, but I refused. Well, I didn’t refuse, but I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.’ Because then the audience is, ‘Oh!’ And then I’m gone.” Steven Segal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hulk Hogan, and Mr. T, along with Robert De Niro, are all reportedly in talks to join the cast of Expendables 4. Harrison Ford will likely be returning to reprise his role as Mr. Max Drummer, the Expendables’ CIA contact. And of course, the rest of the cast of the last Expendables movie are all expected to be back as well – Stallone, Jason Statham, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Kellan Lutz, Glen Powell, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, Terry Crews, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  • Bad Boys 3
    Bad Boys 3 Release, Latest News: Martin Lawrence confirms sequel according to Jerry Bruckheimer, but is Will Smith onboard too?

    Bad Boys 3 Release, Latest News: Martin Lawrence confirms sequel according to Jerry Bruckheimer, but is Will Smith onboard too? That there will be Bad Boys 3 is almost certain. When it will be shown or when it will even begin filming is another matter. Martin Lawrence who starred as Detective Marcus Lowrey in the 1995 film Bad Boys and in the 2003 sequel Bad Boys II was asked during August 13’s episode of Conan whether there is a possibility for a Bad Boys 3 movie any time soon. Lawrence told the host Conan O’Brien: “I believe so, yes. I just talked to Jerry Bruckheimer yesterday and he said it’s real; they’re working on the script, they’re getting close, and it all looks good.” Back in June, when Collider interviewed Jerry Bruckheimer about Bad Boys 3, the producer said, “Well, we’re working on an outline right now. Hopefully we’ll get a screenplay in the next three months. And that will become a movie I hope.” Also in June, Bruckheimer told Digital Spy that screenwriter David Guggenheim is currently working on the storyline for the sequel and that "he's working on an outline right now. Hopefully we'll get him started on a screenplay shortly." He added, "We'd love to get Michael Bay [but] he's very busy right now. Hopefully we can twist his arm and get him in there." Bad Boys was Michael Bay’s directorial debut. He also directed its sequel Bad Boys II. He is however now much in demand both as a director and as a producer. It seems he is fully booked at least until 2016. He may next produce a sequel to the reboot version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he may be persuaded to do a fifth installment to the highly successful Transformers film series. He may even finally get to do a personal passion project of his own, a documentary about elephant poaching. And even if Bruckheimer and Lawrence do get a script and even if they succeed in twisting Bay’s arm to work on the planned Bad Boys 3 movie, what about Will Smith? He turned down Independence 2 and will also likely not be seen in Men in Black 4. As he said in and interview with Collider, “I don’t want to be the sequel guy. I figure I’ve got about six or seven more years where I can run and jump a little bit and then I’m going butt and gut for the rest of my career. Butt and gut.”

    True Blood Season 7 Latest News, Cast Rumors and Other Updates: Last Episode Titled “Thank You” Wraps Up the Show in the Most Unexpected Way

    True Blood Season 7 Latest News, Cast Rumors and Other Updates: Last Episode Titled “Thank You” Wraps Up the Show in the Most Unexpected Way Only a few hours left before HBO releases the final episode of the series ‘True Blood’. There are many loopholes to tie up on the show, with the biggest question looming over its head ‘Will Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) die?’ Knowing that we are all just dying to find out, we scavenge every little information we could to provide it to you fans. As to not prolong the agony, here is the official plot synopsis for its very last episode titled ‘Thank You’, in which we hope will satisfy your cravings until you get to watch in on air-time. The show is very likely to open up with Sookie and Bill having a conversation to answer all the questions in our head, what of Bill’s fate. He owes it to her, to tell her the truth, that is. Through the conversation, we will likely get our answer as to whether the two will have their very own happily ever after, or if they are to have a tragic one. We know Bill has refused the drug in the previous episode and thus we have our fingers crossed. Still, the actress who plays Sookie though, Anna Paquin have told the showrunner Brian Buckner that she is okay with her character not getting a love-knot with Bill. She is okay with Sookie getting a happy ending with other characters such as Alcide or Eric. Alexander Skarsgard, the guy playing Eric have told in an interview that the last episode is the saddest one of the show, from which we speculate that it could really end up with Bill dying. With Skarsgard saying he cried like a baby, we are now preparing buckets for the possible flooding of tears as we ready ourselves for *gulp*, hopefully not, Bill’s death. Series Finale of True Blood airs tonight, August 25 on HBO.

  • Sony’s Project Morpheus
    Sony’s Project Morpheus Release Date, Latest News and Update, Sony’s Boss Said Project Morpheus Will Bring Motion Gaming Back to its Popularity

    Sony’s Project Morpheus Release Date, Latest News and Update, Sony’s Boss Said Project Morpheus Will Bring Motion Gaming Back to its Popularity The past few years had shown us how, for the most part, motion gaming has fallen kind of flat among the general video game audiences, as clearly shown with how Wii U had started focusing on its second screen, how Xbox One’s Kinect was dropped, and how PlayStation 4 is not really making much use of PlayStation Move. Even Sony studios worldwide boss Shuhei Yoshida carries the same thought, that for the meantime video gamers do not have much interest when it comes to motion gaming. However, he is particularly adamant on the belief that the PlayStation Move will become essential upon the availability and release of Sony’s Project Morpheus VR headset. Yoshida reportedly said in an interview that no matter how big of a thing motion gaming was, it is not like people are would want yet another motion game as of the moment. It is not like Yoshida meant to demean Move; he even described it as “a precise and accurate 3D input device,” saying that the PS3/PS4 motion controller was a bit ahead of its time. What Yoshida critiqued on was how it seems hard to take advantage of the 3D positional tracking it offers on a 2D screen. Project Morpheus, Sony’s PS4 virtual reality initiative was unveiled earlier this year during a Special Game Developers Conference presentation in San Francisco. However, it does not have a definite release date as of yet, nor how much it would cost. Sony said, however, that it will not be out this year 2014 and that it would surely cost less than $1000.

    Sherlock Season 4 Release Date, Spoilers & Latest News, Actor Talks about the “Growing Obsession” Between Two Lead Characters More and more spoilers of the upcoming 4th season of the hit TV series Sherlock are indicating that Holmes’s arch nemesis Jim Moriarty will be returning. And that’s not all because apparently, fans are speculating that the return of Moriarty could be brought about by nothing else than his growing obsession and brooding with everyone’s favourite detective! Even Irish actor Andrew Scott himself — who plays the role of Moriarty — had expressed surprise and disbelief at how some fans even go on portraying the detective and villain duo as having more of a “romantic” relationship in their fan fictions. The 37-year old star gave his thoughts on the matter: “There has to be a line. In the words of Erasure, I love to hate you,” Scott said. While fans are busy coming up with their dynamism of the relationship of the two characters, series creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat tried to enlighten anticipators more on the subject of Moriarty’s return. "We've had what we're going to do with Moriarty in place from before the second season. Exactly what we're going to do. I remember talking it through with Andrew Scott, who plays Moriarty. Wait and see what's going to happen," Moffat reportedly said. While Sherlock Season 4 was set to return to the screen on its usual three episodes in 2016, the exact date of the slated release is still not yet final as several cast members like lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch are busy with their other projects.

  • The Witcher
    The Witcher Movie: Release Date, Latest News: Will It Be Better Than The 2001 Hexer?

    The Witcher Movie: Release Date, Latest News: Will It Be Better Than The 2001 Hexer? What has been confirmed so far is that Oscar nominated director and animator Tomasz Baginski has admitted that he is working on a film based on Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher science fiction fantasy short stories and novels. The information was confirmed by Platige Image studio, where Baginski is creative director, after a note to that effect appeared on the Polish Film Institute's website. The studio also mentioned that the upcoming film will involve actors, but not how much of it will be animated. Platige Image specializes in computer graphics, 3D animation, and digital special effects. Baginski’s animated short film The Cathedral was nominated for an Oscar in 2003. He also created the introductory videos for both the Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 games. In the Sapkowski's books, witchers are specially trained and physically-enhanced monster-hunters with supernatural abilities. The novels and stories particularly revolve around the Witcher Geralt of Rivia and Ciri, a princess and a witcher-in-training. Sapkowski’s Witcher has spawned a video game series, a graphic novel series, a 13-episode television series, and a full-length live-action feature film. Regarding the first Witcher movie adaptation of his work, Sapkowski himself in several interviews expressed his dismay at how the film turned out. He famously said: "I can answer only with a single word, an obscene, albeit a short one. I am a Polish Catholic, it is Lent now; I cannot utter swear words.” The first Witcher movie [aka The Hexer] was released in 2001 and it was lambasted by critics and fans alike. Followers of Sapkowski’s work are hoping that Baginski will be able to come up with a much better movie version of the Witcher this time around.
