Millenium Films made the announcement on Wednesday following news updates building up since late last year with last month revealing Red Hill and The Expendables 3 helmer Patrick Hughes would be sitting in the director’s chair for the film’s production in London. via ComingSoon.net The Hitman’s Bodyguard is an action comedy about the world’s top protection agent (Reynolds) and his new client: a notorious hitman who came in from the cold (Jackson). They’ve been on opposite ends of a bullet for years. They hate each other. Now they’re stuck together and have 24 hours to get from England to The Hague. The only thing standing in their way is everything a murderous Eastern […]

DAREDEVIL Season 2: Summary And Review

Lee B. Golden III

Taking notes from shows like Law & Order and The Wire to layer up its comic book-layered thematic storytelling, the first season of the Marvel series adaptation, Daredevil, proved uniquely entertaining, as well as fundemental in realizing how studios and directors could better flesh-out superhero source material. I had my own doubts about this kind of thing long before this show existed, and my doubts were personally regarding programming decisions with some networks and not so much as creative direction, but that’s another can of worms I won’t get into right now. Netflix is center stage this week for all things comic book in entertainment, and the second season continues to brim with grit and a high caliber vision that takes the comic book TV genre to an impressive level. Actor Charlie Cox is back in uniform as our title hero with a story that otherwise continues the events of […]

Trust Runs As Thin As Blood In The New Trailer For DAREDEVIL: SEASON TWO!

Lee B. Golden III

The current run up to Netflix’s second season premiere of Marvel’s Daredevil has been nothing short of exciting. The first season was a pure blast and now things are about to get piping hot in Hell’s Kitchen with actor Charlie Cox and newly added actress Elodie Yung portraying fellow Marvel anti-heroine, Elektra. The two now pair together in this week’s newest trailer and I, for one, am sure that fans are going to love Yung’s performance as we are sampled with a bit more of it since her character poster and animated graph came out this week. This, coupled with the brewing debut of actor Jon Bernthal as the heavy-handed vigilante known as Punisher, only adds to the intensifying drama as we further witness how our lead character deals with his personal plight with actor Elden Henson returning as the beleaguered best friend Foggy Nelson. SYNOPSIS: Just when Matt thinks […]

Lee B. Golden III

Netflix Roughly over three weeks remain for the second season of Marvel series, Daredevil and a slew of character posters and cinemagraphs have been rolling out ever since. The latter has just been updated with its roster complete with animation featuring actor Charlie Cox in the title role followed by, Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll, Jon Bernthal debuting as Punisher and newly added Elodie Yung kicking around the badies in a new look as Elektra. Phil Abraham directs the new season which now forces our hero to continue questioning his purpose with the rise of a new vigilante and the return of an old flame in the midst. The show is building up to further the advancement of The Defenders in the next few years along with other shows, but what’s more interesting is what could happen for a spin-off for Bernthal in his own Punisher series since it’s […]

Reynolds's HITMAN'S BODYGUARD Adds Salma Hayek And Elodie Yung

Lee B. Golden III

With everyone hung up on actor Ryan Reynolds’s then-forthcoming lead role in 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool, in its good graces awaited further news on one other project, Kick-Aas 2 director Jeff Wadlow’s Hitman’s Bodyguard. Such a project is befitting for Reynolds in the wake of his latest success with Deadpool which maintained its number one spot for two weeks in a row. Moreover, it’s just the kind of momentum that can be used here as production on Hitman’s Bodyguard is now set to begin in London on April 2, 2016 for Lionsgate to distribute. For this, the film is now boasting the additions of actresses Salma Hayek (Everly) and Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation). The two join Reynolds and actors Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman with a script from Tom O’Connor that sees Reynolds in the role of the world’s top protection agent now forced to help his arch-enemy […]

GODS OF EGYPT Gets A Trailer Full Of British Accents And Some White People. And Chadwick Boseman.

Lee B. Golden III

Director Alex Proyas‘s latest, Gods Of Egypt is poised for a February 26, 2016 release which is just three months away. Reasonably that means its time to get the promotional campaign going and so it’s off to the races as of last week when posters started going viral. Ok so all well and good. But let’s not forget this is still an eyebrow-raiser for history buffs and people critical of Hollywood’s interpretations of Egypt and all things anicent Africa, so the fact that we have a largely white cast with actress Elodie Yung and actor Chadwick Boseman as the few exceptions in the posters, and all seemingly in the company of British accents, are all still very much an laughable eyesore harkening back to the look of last year’s Exodus: Gods And Kings. Be that as it may, its The Crow and I, Robot helmer Alex Proyas‘s new film and […]
