Chris Messina Cast As Victor Zsasz In BIRDS OF PREY (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)

All it seems we have now is time with Warner Bros. as fans of all things DC await further notification on the studio’s long (and often quietly) talked-about plans to reboot its DC Comics-based cinematic universe. For now, the banner is playing in a few universes with at least one character sharing her way in from Suicide Squad with Margot Robbie now staking her claim in Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn). Cathy Yan is directing from a script by Christina Hodson, and previous reports have all but outlined our primary headliners Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress and Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary. Others include Rosie Perez in the role of Renee Montoya, while Ewan McGregor is set to reign as the villain, Black Mask. As of Tuesday however, that roster grew by one with the addition of Chris Messina (Sharp Objects, Argo, The Newsroom) […]

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn/Birds Of Prey Movie Lands A Director

Lee B. Golden III

Screenwriter Christina Hodson is currently penning Batgirl for Warner Bros.. In the meantime, she’s also been busy with the studio’s efforts toward more female-centric DC filmlore following Margot Robbie’s own performance in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. That film would be inspired by Birds Of Prey, a female-centric culmination of DC characters from the Batman universe in which Robbie is producing as well as possibly star. For this, we turn to an exclusive at Deadline that now states a deal is on the way for Robbie’s attachment along with that of former Wall Street Journal reporter-turned-filmmaker Cathy Yan to direct. The film would be Yan’s own sophomore turn at the helm for a feature following her debut, Dead Pigs, starring Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2) and for which Yan earned a World Cinema Dramatic Award For Ensemble Acting at Sundance last year. It also makes her the first Asian director of a superhero […]

Harley Quinn Inspires Fashion Courtesy Of Celebs Clothing

Lee B. Golden III

While I don’t particularly delve into cosplay, it’s certainly understandable how influential it is in today’s era of film and television entertainment. Moreover, it also leaves from for matters of fashion, paving the way for business like Celebs Clothing who are currently promoting their line of clothing based on DC Comics properties, namely Suicide Squad which opens in theaters on August 5 from Warner Bros. Celebs Clothing’s own Chris Jackson contacted us to help model one of their articles – a Harley Quinn jacket you can now find at their official website among other items. That said, special thanks to actress, stuntwoman and cosplayer Kealani Marie (Dark Haul, Fight Valley) who clearly – and thankfully – has a figure more befitting of Harley than I do! I sought her a little over a week ago to take a few at-home photos with the jacket and you can check those out below, along […]

Warner Bros. To Expand On DCCU Through SUICIDE SQUAD's Harley Quinn

Lee B. Golden III

Just months away from David Ayer’s Suicide Sqaud, THR is now reporting that Warner Bros. is opening up to the prospects of expanding its DC Comics universe. The angle? Actress Margot Robbie’s debut as Harley Quinn who appears in Ayer’s upcoming film on August 5. The move in question, however, will be to spin her character off toward the center of a brewing vision for a female superheroine line-up, including titles centered on Batgirl and Birds Of Prey. Batgirl has often had her moments since the 60’s TV show led Adam West while the latter’s most recent small screen efforts in 2002 lasted one season. The move comes just in time after a year of public dialogue over female representation both in front and behind the camera. Batgirl and Birds Of Prey are definitely a few opportinities worth exploring in this case while the studio moves forward with Ben Affleck’s […]
