Also featured are Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus, along with Ian McShane, […]

Wiseman Set To Tackle DIE HARD: YEAR ONE; UNDERWORLD TV Reboot In The Works
Len Wiseman is the man being tapped to helm the forthcoming fifth installment of the Bruce Willis-led Die Hard franchise. Plans for a sixth film have been developing since 2013 upon the release of John Moore’s A Good Day To Die Hard. The film was tentatively titled Die Hard: Year One a few years later by Wiseman on Twitter upon news of the director’s deal with Twentieth Century Fox and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura for the film as a prequel set in 1979 focusing on a young iteration of New York City police officer Jon McClane. The Die Hard franchise launched in 1988 with each film adapted from respective novels, articles and screenplays, with the additional involvement of helmers such as John McTiernan and Renny Harlin. Wiseman would helm the 2007 installment that would also re-introduce McClaine’s all grown-up daughter, Lucy, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The most known draft for a sixth […]
SIN CITY Is Heading To The Small Screen
Taking their cues from Frank Miller’s 1991 neo-noir graphic novels, at least two live action adaptations of Sin City arose and while the first was a hit in 2005, its 2014 sequel, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, fared way, way less. Fast forward three years later and now it appears there’s something to salvage in a serial reboot from TWC/Dimension now in development according to Deadline. Len Wiseman, know prolifically for either directing, writing and/or producing the Underworld film saga, will helm the series with new writing by Glen Mazzara (The Shield, The Walking Dead, Damien) that will focus more on the source material with original characters and timelines. Stephen L’Heureux who produced Sin City: A Dame To Kill For will oversee the series as well as produce with Miller, Mazzara and Wiseman and TWC/Dimension’s own Bob and Harvey Weinstein. To be frank, really, I’ve only ever seen the […]
Fox Ramps Up Pilot, A.P.B., Natalie Martinez To Star
It’s been a quite a minute since we’ve last heard anything on actress Natalie Martinez’s upcoming bid in the martial arts drama, Warrior. That’s something I’ve been looking forward to since they filmed a pilot and those hopes haven’t waned on me since, although nowadays fight fans will find her throwing down on the hit Audience Network MMA drama, Kingdom. As for all else this week, Deadline is now reporting that the actress will be wearing a badge in her forthcoming stint in Fox’s new cop drama pilot, A.P.B.. The show’s focus stems centrally from New York Times writer David Amsden’s July article, Who Runs the Streets of New Orleans, which covered the steps a rich entrepreneur took toward advancing privatized police in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. The premise of the show will follow Martinez in the role of Amelia Murphy, a NOLA detective with a penchant for sarcasm and […]
DIE HARD: YEAR ONE Is In The Works At Fox, Len Wiseman To Direct
I don’t have much else to add on the Die Hard franchise seeing as how the fifth one damn near put me to sleep throughout the whole act, but I am looking forward to what lies ahead for a possible sixth film. That said, previous efforts left us with the prospect of actor Bruce Willis being re-introduced to the franchise’s roots dating back to the Nakatomi Corporarion, originally introduced in the first film. I haven’t really kept up with the updates since then, but apparently the project is now being re-developed by Fox as the tentatively-titled Die Hard: Year One, based on a pitch from filmmaker Len Wiseman to Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Deadline reports a screenwriter is currently being sought after for the film which will, instead, leave room for Willis to appear with another actor to portray classic action hero John McClaine in his younger iteration as a New […]
Beckinsale And James Set To Return For 'Underworld 5'
The action horror genre remains ever more ripe with lycan and vampire fandom for the current four-movie installment of the Underworld franchise which began in 2003, and it was just last August that Lakeshore Entertainment stated they were rebooting the franchise with a fifth film tentatively titled Underworld: Next Generation. At the time, a cast wasn’t in place, but updates have arrived on this end and the franchise is officially going forward with two of its principal cast members. THR writes that actress Kate Beckinsale is set to reprise her role as vampire warrior ‘Selene’ with the Divergent Series co-star, actor Theo James returning as her ally, David. Cory Goodman wrote the script for Anna Foerster, who directed episodes for Starz series, Outlander, and served as director of photography for the 2004 disaster flick, The Day After Tomorrow and 2013 hostage flick, White House Down, to helm with a story […]
Lakeshore Entertainment Will Reboot UNDERWORLD
Eleven years doesn’t really seem too far off when recalling actress Kate Beckinsale’s portrayal of a vampire warrioress in director Len Wiseman’s 2003 hit, Underworld, on top of its fourth installment, Underworld: Awakening, just two years ago. However, the franchise has had some success over the years, and there was once a time when a then-skeptic Beckinsale may have wanted to a return for a possible fifth addition to the Vampire V. Lycan war/romance saga. Nevertheless, Lakeshore Entertainment is ordering a complete revival of the franchise once again, with Priest scribe Cory Goodman providing the screenplay for the new reinterpretation of the sci-fi horror saga, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The previous four films began as the brainchild of author and creator, franchise co-star and actor Kevin Grevioux, with Beckinsale principally starring in the franchise along with actress Rhona Mitra in the epic story of forbidden love amidst a long […]
