Has THE CROW Finally Landed A Star?

Warner Bros. There’s good news for fans of the 1994 cult fantasy action thriller, The Crow who have been waiting patiently for the reboot of the hit underground graphic novel.

Now, word from Variety brings actor Jason Momoa into the fold to possibly play the title character – a musician whose heinous murder ensues his resurrection at the behest of a mystical crow, to take flight with his own brand […]

Antoine Fuqua's THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Adds Two More To The Cast!

I will be the first to admit that I am old at 52 and I happen to love Westerns. Growing up with a father born in Kentucky, and a mother from Oklahoma, my tastes in music and film partially stemmed from their influence. And one of those influences is the appreciation of country music. I get that from my mom and dad. Films on the other hand, were directly influenced by my father. I grew up watching John Wayne films that my father enjoyed. And I enjoy them too. The last Western I watched was the intriguing Cowboys vs Aliens that I found “amusing,” to say the least. My dad would have laughed at this. So, normally, whenever a new Western was on TV that my father had not seen before, my older brother and I made a family night together with dad. One of my father’s favorite films was […]

Will James Wan Direct AQUAMAN For Warner Bros.?

Lee B. Golden III

July 7, 2018 is the date set for Warner Bros. to unveil its forthcoming take on Aquaman in theaters for which actor Jason Momoa is officially starring in. Plotwise, not much is known about how the film, based on the classic DC Comics character created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris in 1941, will follow its title character’s expected appearance in next year’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, but currently things may be picking up a bit in terms of who will direct. In lieu of this, the current box-office success being had by Furious Seven has undoubtedly left a mark for its director, James Wan who is currently developing a sequel to his 2013 horror flick, The Conjuring. Of course, now that his recent effort in Universal Pictures’ Fast franchise is doing so well, he has an option to return for another which won’t be filming any time […]

Lee B. Golden III

While director Zack Snyder‘s twitter account continues to be a source of major fandom for the upcoming March 25, 2016 release of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a new photo is now going viral presenting actor Jason Momoa as the King Of The Seven Seas himself, Aquaman. Momoa was finally confirmed for the role last summer after months and months of fleeting press coverage denying his involvement with Warner Bros’s DC Movie slate. The pic’s virility has already generated a massive response from fans, though there are a few folks who still have their opinions on why he doesn’t look like his usual comic book self… Seriously, some people are just silly. There is only one true King. #unitetheseven pic.twitter.com/RDFG8jbuI6 — ZackSnyder (@ZackSnyder) February 20, 2015 Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice is the first of a new slate of films expected to arrive between now and 2020 as […]

Jason Momoa Could Be Playing AQUAMAN In BATMAN V. SUPERMAN…Just Sayin.

Lee B. Golden III

A lot of it is fan-induced static that turns out to be hype cheese, but the rest of it still leaves a lot to the imagination, and that includes previous mentions of actor Jason Momoa for a role in director Zack Snyder‘s new film, Batman V.

For the most part, the Game Of Thrones and Conan actor has been quite vocal about denying the issue to the point of expressing his irritation, even as Warner Bros. has yet to release an official statement. However, it seems that one reason or another, HitFix is able to confirm the actor will, at the very least, get a cameo role as Aquaman in Snyder‘s new film, a move which could reflect on the events of last year’s Man Of Steel regarding […]
