First BLACK ADAM Trailer Asks If The Hero We Need Is Our Destroyer, Or Our Savior!
“The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam.” Such is the tagline for Jaume Collet-Serra’s debut contribution to the DC movieverse with Warner Bros.’s latest tentpole effort starring Dwayne Johnson who’s been actively updating followers on social media since the film’s announcement. The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”). Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world. It’s been about fifteen years since Johnson stepped up to mantle, and a lot has changed over at Warner since then now that the long-heralded Snyderverse has been uprooted from the studio’s slate. There’s certainly more DC to come with the Shazam […]
THE COMMUTER: Non-Stop Thrills For Liam Neeson In The Official Trailer!
It’s reasonable to expect actor Liam Neeson to end his run as a star in action films any time now. The 65 year-old actor has spoken on this issue before and so what better way to exit than to give the fans another go as he’s doing these days with the new thriller, The Commuter. In this action-packed thriller, Liam Neeson plays an insurance salesman, Michael, on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding and is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy. One that carries life and death stakes, for himself and his fellow passengers. The film marks Neeson’s fourth effort with Jaume Collet-Serra […]
THE COMMUTER: Liam Neeson Is Taken For A Deadly Ride In The First Teaser Trailer
“Taken”. Get it? Ha. Whatever, I’m funny. As for the film? Not quite as the circumstances are for the hostage role actor Liam Neeson takes on in his fourth pairing with director Jamue Collet-Serra since starring in Unknown in 2011. Neeson stars here in The Commuter which opens next year on January 12, and Lionsgate has brought the first official teaser trailer which you can view below.

Take A Bite Out Of The New Trailer For THE SHALLOWS
Long far and away from any further mention of remaking Akira, director Jaume Collet-Serra, has sunk his teeth into actress Blake Lively who leads his latest thriller, The Shallows. Sony is opening the film in June from a script by Anthony Jaswinski that sees Lively in the role of a wounded surfer forced atop a rock out to sea and into a battle of wits with a hungry great white shark 200 yards from her secluded beach getaway. Sony has released its official trailer this week and it doesn’t really hold back much as it reveals plenty about the film in a few of its twists. Otherwise, it hypes something different and pretty thrilling for Collet-Serra fans in need if a change from the usual Liam Neeson buttkickery. Personally, horror films rarely do anything for me, but this feels as intriguing as it looks. Check it out!
Neeson To Re-Team With Collet-Serra For THE COMMUTER
Universal Pictures Are you ready for some more Liam Neeson action? Lionsgate has already set up The Picture Company’s The Commuter since their acquisition last November from Studiocanal at the American Film Market, and judging by early reports, filming will soon begin in early 2016 if it hasn’t already. For this, we now bring the news from Deadline that Neeson will be rejoining director Jaume Collet-Serra, making this their fourth pairing since Unknown, Non-Stop and last year’s Run All Night with co-star Alex Kinnaman.

Warner Bros.'s AKIRA Gets New Life With A New Writer
Writer Marco J. Ramirez will be stepping in with Doug Petrie to carry on the story for Netflix’s Daredevil series upon its forthcoming second season. Beyond that, Ramirez’s name bares mentioning with reports now making the rounds that he’ll be penning the script to revive Warner Bros. long-awaited film adaptation of the 1982 classic manga/anime property, Akira. The report comes less than six months after it was reported that original author Otomo Katsuhiro would be launching his own efforts to get a live-action film going, ultimately in response to the last thirteen years of stops and starts in Hollywood. Much of the stagnation had been reportedly due to budget, scheduling and script issue, with Non-Stop and Run All Night helmer Jaume Collet-Serra eventually stepping down at the time after being attached back in 2013. Proceeded by its feature-length anime in 1988, Akira centers on a post-apocalyptic future in the city […]

There's No Place To Hide In The New Trailer For RUN ALL NIGHT!
Actor Liam Neeson is getting some big screen this weekend with the latest run of Oliver Megaton’s new film, Tak3n. Bearing this in mind, while it should also be noted that Neeson is not entirely ruling out a fourth film, clearly the actor’s penchant for playing gristled badass roles extends beyond the franchise with any number of his movies in the last several years, and his upcoming third film with Unknown and Non-Stop helmer Jaume Collet-Serra for the new eye-for-an-eye crime thriller, Run All Night, is no exception. Set in the urban jungle of New York City, Brad Inglesby wrote the script which pits Neeson and Robocop star Joel Kinnaman, as former mob hitman, Jimmy, and estranged son, Mike, on the run for their lives when the actions of the son of old friend, aging crime boss Shawn, force Jimmy’s hand. Ed Harris, Vincent D’onofrio and Common also star, and […]
RUN ALL NIGHT Gets New Stills With Liam Neeson And Joel Kinnaman
Actor Liam Neeson is eagerly kicking a lot of ass in the last several years. The Taken Trilogy wraps this weekend with the third film starring Neeson as a CIA operative whose retirement essentially died with every kidnapping and murdering asshole he’s had to kill in his career afterlife. It’s entertaining in all it’s delight while Neeson himself has taken (no pun intended) on this image in similar fashion in films like the recently released crime thriller, A Walk Among The Tombstones, as well as Jaume Collet-Serra‘s Unknown and Non-Stop With that in mind, the year will move on with Neeson and Collet-Serra having paired once agian back in late 2013 for the production of the Warner Bros. hitman thriller, Run All Night with Robocop actor Joel Kinnaman. Having been too damn busy with my own hectic day-in/day-out worklife, I was unable to stalk the set myself as it was […]
Move Over Hollywood, THE AKIRA PROJECT Fan Trailer Has Arrived!
Twelve years after Warner Bros. acquired the rights to Japanese comic book publisher Kodansha’s 1982 publication of author Katsuhiro Otomo’s six-volume manga, Akira, and two years since we still don’t have a live-action film. But for director and producer Nguyen Anh Nguyen, that’s just fine by him, with the reception he is currently receiving from his own inspired take on the property in the form of a brand new trailer-style fan film now circulating the internet in pure, buzzworthy fashion! If this keeps up, Hollywood might as well just give up and let Nguyen and his team take it from here. Just sayin. Director’s Statement via THE AKIRA PROJECT Official Website: The Akira Project is a crowd-sourced, non-profit project meant to create a live action fan trailer of AKIRA, the renowned manga-turned-anime film from the late 1980′s; a stunning example of both mediums as art forms.
