DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES Unleashes Buzzworthy Final Trailer
I’m actually surprised and humbed at this point with the buzz being received by film duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley following their SXSW premiere of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. That’s no BS either apart from the buzz quotes being used in the final trailer now online for the Paramount Pictures release opening next week. Admittedly, I wasn’t sure of how all the big and fantastical spectacle would bode with moviegoers what with the prominence of superhero fandom and its creeping fatigue now made just a little clearer WB’s Shazam sequel. Yeah, I’m still a little unsure, but if the buzz tracks and general viewer reactions match, at least we’ll know either way that this film’s success was deserved. A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of […]

The film stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, […]
Kyle Chandler Promises A GAME NIGHT To Remember In The Official Trailer
In prior weeks I was a little shocked at how violent John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein’s new film, Game Night. I missed out on Vacation and figured this was going to be a straight up, goofy comedy only to spot a trailer tease in weeks prior of a stunt goon getting sucked into the propellers of an aircraft engine. Yes, you do see that and a whole lot more in the official trailer now online featuring actor Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams as a competitive couple who find each other, fall in love, make friends and as the narrative would have it, find them way in over their head. Cue gunshots, blood everywhere, automotive calamity, a bound-and-gagged Chandler amidst the ruckus… ah. Fun times. Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges […]
DC Adaptation, FLASHPOINT, Circles ‘Vacation’ And ‘Game Night’ Directors
Warner Bros. Variety’s exclusive on Tuesday revealed that Spider-Man: Homecoming scribes John Francis-Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in talks to finally crew-up the directors’ chair Warner Bros.’s long-gestating Flash movie. The film, Flashpoint, will be their third pairing as directors after Vacation and upcoming action comedy, Game Night, hailing the latest development in a stained period of preproduction for the film after Ezra Miller became attached to the role in 2014. Brief delays ensued in the last few years as the revolving door of known directors in talks swung with “creative differences” becoming central to the respective departures of Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), and thereafter with Seth-Grahame Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), and even DCEU staple Ben Affleck who currently lays claim to the role of Batman in the franchise. Further production details remain pending for the film which takes from the 2011 DC publication by Geoff Johns in which our hero […]
Bateman, McAdams, Chandler Star In Action Comedy GAME NIGHT, Now Filming
Vacation helmers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are back in the saddle at Warner Bros. Pictures with principal photography is underway in Atlanta, Georgia for the new action comedy, Game Night. Jason Bateman (Horrible Bosses) and Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams (Marvel’s Doctor Strange), are leading a cast from a script by Accepted scribe Mark Perez and with Bateman producing with John Davis, and with Marc S. Fischer, John Fox and James Garavente executive producing. From New Line Pictures, Game Night stars Bateman and McAdams along with Kyle Chandler (Manchester By The Sea) in the respective roles of Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks, arranges a murder mystery party with all the trimmings, including fake thugs and faux federal agents. With the game already underway, Brooks supposedly gets kidnapped which is supposedly part of the “script” as all […]
