Something about these film project The Rock picks for himself. No matter how crazy or ridiculous the premise seems to be, the one thing you can say is they are fun to watch. After hearing about this film adaptation of the 80’s video game, I knew this would be The Rock that jumped the shark. But just like Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and San Andreas, this movie’s crazy premise just adds to the fun.
When Columbia Pictures tried to reboot the excellent French Millenium Trilogy in 2011, it didn’t do that well at the box office. With Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara in the lead roles, it should’ve been a home run. For the second attempt, MGM and The Cantillon Company take of the production and Claire Foy takes over the role of Lisbeth Salander as they leapfrog to the 4th book in the series. Smart move. The last movie didn’t have enough Salander.
I was pleasantly surprised by Marvel’s 2014 Spider-verse cross-over event, literally showcasing every version of Spider-man in the multiverse. I don’t know how far the 2018 Sony animated movie will take the storyline, but as long as they keep Miles Morales as the central character, it should be hard to mess this up (*knock on wood).
50+ year old Tom Cruise proves he’s still one of the best in the action movie game. EPIC trailer!!!
With the success of Hawkeye on The Avengers and Green Arrow in his 5th season on The CW, Lionsgate Studios is looking to take the moment to reboot Robin Hood. But do we really need this? Is there more story to tell after Kevin Cosner in 1991 and then Russell Crowe in 2010? We’ll see in November.
After a couple of attempts at aPredator reboot (crossovers with Alien in 2004 and 2007, and then “Predators” in 2010), 20th Century Fox is trying again. In this crazy cinema environment of profitable franchises and shared universes, you can’t blame them. Unfortunately, the only successful Predator film beloved by both critics and audiences is the first Arnold Schwarzenegger film in 1987. This time around, Shane Black has picked Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, and Keegan-Michael Key to stop the alien super-hunter from massacring the planet. I’m betting they’ll have to have a Schwarzenegger cameo to tie this to the original film. This franchise has a lot of potentials if you ask me. I think they seriously dropped the ball with the money-printing Alien crossover. Is there a chance of those films tying in with this one? Probably not, but it would’ve been pretty cool.
No explanation. Just watch the trailer 😳
Giant Ants.. Bad acting. Stupid plot.. I’m loving it!
