A WORKING MAN Trailer Pays Off With Jason Statham Bringing The Pain!
David Ayer sees you, kids! He knows you loved The Beekeeper, and whether or not we get a sequel to that remains to be seen. Nevertheless, we now have A Working Man to fawn over with Ayer reteaming with Jason Statham, and an official trailer tuned to a medley of all-you-can-eat Statham-flavored beat downs. Whee! Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life working construction. But when his boss’s daughter, who is like family to him, is taken by human traffickers, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined. A Working Man also stars Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falkow, with Michael Peña and David Harbour, as well as Noemi Gonzalez, Arianna Rivas, Emmett J. Scanlan, and Eve Mauro. Ayer directs and produces from a script he co-wrote […]
THE BEEKEEPER: Check Out The Red-Band Trailer For David Ayer’s New Jason Statham Actioner
John Wick kills people with pencils. As far as competition goes, Jason Statham’s latest lead role needs nothing more than a jar of honey to do the trick in what MGM has up its sleeve from director David Ayer with revenge and retribution thriller, The Beekeeper. This one’s been a go-to for a while now as everyone who’s kept up with Statham’s escapdes as a Transporter and an Expendable up to this point has been curious as heck to learn more about this project since its announcement last year with Suicide Squad and Bright helmer David Ayer attached to direct. Statham headlines The Beekeeper which centers on one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance, as it takes on national stakes when he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers.” The movie also stars Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, and Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, […]
THE BEEKEEPER: Cameras Roll On The New Jason Statham Action Thriller
KFTV has word that production in London has begun on The Beekeeper, from director David Ayer (Bright, Sabotage) and starring Jason Statham (Fast And Furious Presents: Hobbs And Shaw). The film marks a reunion for the action star with MGM following their previous involvement on Guy Ritchie revenge thriller, Wrath Of Man, with the company acquiring the film for U.S. distribution as of late last month. Ayer directs the film from a script by Kurt Wimmer, which “centres on one man’s campaign for vengeance – a quest that has very high stakes as he is revealed to have been associated with a secretive and powerful organisation known as ‘The Beekeepers’. Pic hails from Ayer’s Cedar Park Entertainment whose Chris Long is producing next to Miramax’s Bill Block, and with Statham also producing.

• Kieran Hawkes will direct prison drama Branded from a script by Alessandro Camon, which takes its cues from David Grann’s The New Yorker article, “The Brand”. It centers on Taylor (Alex Pettyfer), a once promising football player now serving life for murdering a drug dealer, and soon finds himself as the lynchpin of a growing major criminal empire, forcing him to choose between gang life, and a second chance on the outside. The film will also star Frank Grillo, Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova, and Tom Hopper, and hails from Identity Media and Dark Dreams Entertainment. HanWay is selling international sales at Cannes with CAA Media Finance representing U.S.. (THR) • Jolt actress Kate Beckinsale will star in Canary Black from Taken and Peppermint helmer Pierre Morel. Penned by Matthew Kennedy, Beckinsale will play top level CIA agent Avery Graves, who is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to […]
THE TAX COLLECTOR: Shia LeBeouf Pays His Dues In The Official Trailer
Say what you will of the odd trajectory Shia LeBeouf’s film career has taken. He may be an oddball, but when it comes down to doing what he does, he does it damn well, and it’s fact shared amply with director David Ayer on the heels of their latest venture, The Tax Collector. Collider debuted several stills this week along with the official poster from RLJE Films. The company is now out and about with an official trailer, featuring LeBeouf in what looks to be one of his finest, most immersive performances yet, along with Bobby Soto, Cinthya Carmona and George Lopez. David (Bobby Soto) and Creeper (Shia LaBeouf), are “tax collectors” for the crime lord Wizard, collecting his cut from the profits of local gangs’ illicit dealings. But when Wizard’s old rival returns to Los Angeles from Mexico, the business is upended, and David finds himself desperate to protect […]
EL-ALAMEIN: ‘Fury’ Director In Talks To Direct Another WWII Tank Pic
I’m still keen on a sequel to urban crime fantasy thriller, Bright. In the meantime it appears that director David Ayer will be backing another period war tank epic as he did with Fury (2014). El-Alamein is the name as reported by Deadline‘s Mike Fleming Jr. on Thursday with Ayer inegotiating to shoot early next year from James Coyne’s updated script proceeding David Self’s original draft. After British forces defeated Italian forces in North Africa, Germany tapped general Erwin Rommel to drive eastward along the North African coast to seize the Suez Canal. British forces were routed and it came down to a stand at El-Alamein. There, British forces kept the Germans bottled up and unable to overrun Egypt. After several long bloody battles, and assistance from Australian and New Zealand forces, the allies won the day. Rommel signaled Hitler that the cause was lost. He was not granted permission […]
BRIGHT Shines Online With An Action-Packed New Trailer
David Ayer’s latest fantasy crime thriller, Bright, is already full-speed ahead with its campaign until releasing on Netflix next week. We now have a third trailer to take a gander at in the days since starring actor Will Smith got a whole bunch of same-named fans to send clips of themselves for a montage also now online. Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves, and fairies have been co-existing since the beginning of time. Bright is genre-bending action movie that follows two cops from very different backgrounds. Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine patrol night and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it. I won’t share that montage here, but the trailer is what it’s about and ripe with more fantasy easter eggs and mythos introducing the hybrid world from Ayers and screenwriter Max […]
BRIGHT Shimmers With Promising Action And Adventure In The Newest Trailer
We have a brand new trailer for David Ayer’s new fantasy crime flick, Bright. For that matter, it’s a great sell as an original property for Netflix in lieu of its own move toward investing amply in its own feature film content through next year. Mixing Humans, Orcs and Elves in a way fans of properties like Alien Nation can appreciate is certainly appealing…only let’s not hope the rest of the film doesn’t befall from the same lazy writing that this trailer exhibits in the first ten seconds. Yeesh, Max. Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves, and fairies have been co-existing since the beginning of time. Bright is genre-bending action movie that follows two cops from very different backgrounds. Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine patrol night and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they […]
BRIGHT: Brutal Crime And Germanic Folklore Set The Stage In The New Official Trailer
Promising a gritty action fantasy thriller for the Netflix demographic, David Ayer’s latest, Bright, is poised for a December 22 release in a seemingly strong follow-up from his previous WBDC effort, Suicide Squad. A teaser arrived back in February bringing just a little more than enough to satisfy the curiosity of what a present day crossover between End Of Watch and Lord Of The Rings looks like, and now we have ourselves a full trailer that welcomes all takers. For this, we get Ayer in reunion with actor Will Smith in the role of a cop and human counterpart/reluctant partner to Joel Edgerton’s role as an Orc, one of the many species co-existing in the Earthbound hybrid alien crime drama – Think Gintama but without the 4th wall-breaking high jinks and so on, (although just enough homoerotic cheek from Edgerton to wager a chuckle or two) and with actresses Noomi […]
BRIGHT Scores An Official Teaser For The New Fantasy Crime Thriller
Not even I expected David Ayer’s Suicide Squad to become an Oscar winner on Sunday night. That, it has, however, and for Hair & Make Up no less which seems fitting and likely to the appeal of fans who contributed to the critically-panned DC adaptation’s box office success last year. For this, fans of the Fury and End Of Watch helmer now get to sample his latest reuinion with actor Will Smith in the first teaser for fantasy crime pic, Bright. The film pits you in a world shared by both humans and creatures in coexistence, and where Will Smith plays a cop paired with an Orc – played by Joel Edgerton – to look for a deadly weapon people will kill for. Netflix acquired the rights to the film late last year following weeks of bidding against other major studios, and now gets to exclusively premiere it on its […]
Robbie, Ayer Reunite For GOTHAM CITY SIRENS Adaptation
In the months leading up to the stellar performing release of box office hit, Suicide Squad, it was already being reported that Warner Bros. was well on the way with developing a feature spin-off focusing on a female-centric narrative primed with heroines and villainesses from the DC Universe. Three months later, Suicide Squad, in the weeks proceeding director David Ayer’s bold “F**k Marvel” commentary which he eventually recanted, the film went on to gross well over $745 million dollars worldwide, flying in the faces of critics who struck the comic book adaptation with perpetually negative reviews overwhelming some positive ones. Evidently, the film’s success only meant the discussions surrounding the future of Suicide Squad on the big screen wouldn’t be going away anytime soon, and with Robbie now on deck to produce, the word now from THR is that Ayer himself, once he wraps with Netflix-bound sci-fi fantasy cop actioner, […]
Joel Kinnaman Talks SUICIDE SQUAD 2
David Ayer’s Suicide Squad is live-streaming its red-carpet premere in New York City on Monday, just five days ahead of its release in time for Warner Bros. The film also comes off of earlier rumblings back in March of a possible sequel that Ayer himself may direct once he wraps his forthcoming reunion with Suicide Squad co-lead, actor Will Smith for Netflix’s sci-fi cop thriller, Bright. With that in mind, Suicide Squad is the talk of the town this week with word from Variety‘s latest interview with actor Joel Kinnaman on whether or not he would join the sequel or other DC Comics movies. “We’ll see. Maybe we’ll make more ‘Suicide Squad’ movies. Who knows? The audience will decide.” says Kinnaman. “If there’s like military involved in one of the other films than maybe they’ll call me. You can definitely see how Amanda Waller has a place in the other […]
Viola Davis Pulls The Strings In The Final SUICIDE SQUAD Trailer!
It’s been a terrific start to the week for all things in the world of final trailers and director David Ayer is certainly living up to it so far. His latest, Suicide Squad continues to propel forward after a great year-long campaign promoting the DC Comics inspired property about a band of villains assembled by the government in an incognito effort to cover itself should things go awry. Ayer himself wrote the script as well and while we await what forthcoming reviews have to say about it, the footage seen so far in conjunction with the costumes and overall look and vision have pretty much nailed it with most fans so far, which clearly indicates he did his homework. The film opens on August 5, which is in three weeks, and so Warner Bros. Pictures are now out with a final trailer for the film, delivering what seemingly appears to […]
David Ayer's SUICIDE SQUAD Gets A Spectacular New International Trailer
Should you need further educating on how excited you should be for director David Ayer’s take on DC Comics property, Suicide Squad, just know that it’s so far has one of the best received Comic-Con trailers of the past year next to that of Deadpool. Otherwise, and whatever may have procured from reshoots thereafter, I’m pretty certain this movie is mostly selling itself and surely Ayer will help steer things a bit with Warner Bros. currently in recovery mode after having to remind DC fans that Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice is a worthwhile film…that is, both versions of it. SYNOPSIS: It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined […]
The New SUICIDE SQUAD Trailer Blitzes Online!
Say what you will about Warner Bros, but they still have a schedule to keep with some of their films – particularly when it comes to their current slate of DC films, and it seems for the most part, they’re doing exactly that. The underperformance Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice drew somewhat of a red flag for the studio on a few levels, one of which brought about their recent decision to focus more on their franchises over original properties. As such, director David Ayer has something going for himself with the forthcoming release of Suicide Squad which, itself, still boasts quite the excitement for comic book movie fans. However, reshoots are reportedly underway at the moment to help provide the film with a more appealing action tone than what BvS invoked, which makes it a little interesting to wonder how the film would have done prior […]
Ayer, Smith Line Up Cop Fantasy, BRIGHT, With Hopes For SUICIDE SQUAD 2
Up for seeing director David Ayer’s Suicide Squad this August? You’ll be happy to know that he and actor Will Smith are more than happy to follow through according to the latest trade reports citing a new film in development titled Bright. The film, which Ayers may direct and joins Smith with actor Joel Edgerton, is described as a cop thriller with fantasy elements such as orcs and fairies with a story led by a unique protagonist in the form of an orc cop. It’s wicked stuff and it should garner some interest over time while we await to see which studio it lands with CAA shopping it following its approval as one of 13 titles by the California State Comission, nailing a $7.2 million tax credit in the process. The goal is to film Bright this Fall in time for 2017 with enough room to film a Suicide Squad […]
The New Trailer For SUICIDE SQUAD Is A Rhapsody Of Destruction!
Last year’s San Diego Comic Con trailer for director David Ayer’s DC Comics adaptation, Suicide Squad, drew anything but a mere whiff from fanboys and fangirls. Point in fact, it was one of the best and most received AND most trailers by far next to Tim Miller’s Deadpool, otherwise hyped by their respective leaks. Ergo, what you see is a show of proof that Warner Bros. has something really good on its hands, and it’s finally coming to theaters on August 5. It’s a bit of a wait, but the promotional campaign has only just begun with a slew of posters finally making the rounds on top of today’s first official team poster from Yahoo!. And as necessary as it was, we now have a full new trailer to accompany our journey into DC territory with Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice coming in March and Wonder Woman coming next […]
SUICIDE SQUAD Wraps Filming!
Director David Ayer shared an ensemble cast and crew photo via Twitter on Friday announcing the completion of principle photography for Warner Bros.’s upcoming DC Comics adaptation, Suicide Squad. Filming began back in April under the working title of Bravo 14, and just four months before it would break ground at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 with a current tally of well over 50.7 million views compared to that of the studio’s forthcoming Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice now at over 45.7 million. Take a look! It’s a wrap folks! #SuicideSquad #WarnerBros #DCcomics pic.twitter.com/1Rkvd9t3JX — David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 28, 2015 Between the epic cast photo back in May, the comic-con trailer, actress Margot Robbie‘s newfound tattoo artisanship as DC femme fatale Harley Quinn, actor Jared Leto‘s entry as the cinematic remergence of The Joker for a new generation of DC fans and superhero cinephiles alike, there’s plenty of reason […]
SDCC 2015: Watch The Crystal Clear Comic-Con Trailer For SUICIDE SQUAD!
Much to the delight of many a fan, Warner Bros finally released its San Diego Comic-Con trailer for the August 5, 2016 release of director David Ayer’s live-action DC Comics property, Suicide Squad. Granted, a statement from Warner Bros. almost surely asserted that the footage would be deemed unlikely to release due to constant leaks from the studio’s Hall-H presentation of the footage over the weekend, although now it seems that someone upstairs had a change of heart. Alas, crispity clear footage of our anti-heroic crowd of baddies resigned to a world-saving suicide mission can now be seen in the player below. Will Smith, Joel Kinnaman, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevigne, Jai Courtney and Jared Leto top line the cast with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Viola Davis, Karen Fukuhara, Jay Hernandez, Alex Meraz, an appearance by Ben Affleck as one of several expected film appearances to come in the role of Batman, and […]
