Little was known about the unnamed genre film that Ryan Coogler and his Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan were reuniting for as of January. It’s been hype-inducing, even enough that it ensued a bidding war in which Warner Bros. Pictures came out on top by the following month, and now, the official trailer and key art has been revealed for the new thriller, Sinners, which opens in theaters and IMAX on March 7. From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed”—and starring Michael B.

Reports: Amazon Touting ‘Creed-Verse’ Efforts With Michael B. Jordan
Deadline‘s Anthony D’Alessandro, Nellie Andreeva, and Peter White are reporting that a more unilateral TV and film campaign is in the works at Amazon following the $100+ million box office success of Creed III. According to the report, a “Creed-Verse” is brewing to create an animated series, as well as a companion live-action series, and a possible project that centers on Amara, the daughter to our protagonist in the third film portrayed by Mila Davis-Kent in her film debut. News of this comes in the wake of concurrent developments of another spin-off from the events of 2018’s Creed sequel announced last summer, briefly igniting controversy regarding the contended rights battle between producer Irwin Winkler, and Sylvester Stallone, star of the Rocky film saga and a mainstay of the franchise whose titular character bowed from the saga in the Stephen Caple Jr.-directed film.

WITHOUT REMORSE: “Dangerous… Effective” Michael B. Jordan Strikes Back In The Official Trailer
Stefano Sollima’s new espionge revenge thriller, Without Remorse, now has an official trailer following a recent poster reveal which you can view at the bottom of this page. The latest incarnation of a Tom Clancy-created staple of literary spy thriller novels now sees Michael B. Jordan in full form, taking on the full weight of the lead role of John Clark with a deeply scarred and tortured, unhinged air and a tactical twist to boot that I think fans will purely take a liking to. The movie comes to Amazon on April 30. In a war-torn region of Syria, an elite team of Navy SEALs led by Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) rescues a CIA operative taken hostage by ex-Russian military forces. Three months later, in apparent retaliation for his role in the mission, Kelly’s pregnant wife Pam (Lauren London) is murdered in the U.S. by a squad […]

METHUSELAH: ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Team On Board Michael B. Jordan Action Adventure
The last four years of development history for the story of Methuselah have finally come to pass with director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy now leading the charge this time. The trades have maintained the project, which once saw Tom Cruise starring, has Michael B. Jordan on deck for the title role instead. As of Friday with the duo behind the highly-acclaimed Slumdog Millionaire officially on board, Jordan’s attachment hasn’t changed. What has changed, however, is the vision; A March 2019 Deadline piece described Methuselah as a story that told of “a man who has managed to survive for hundreds of years, without showing the physical signs of age. In that time, he has accumulated vast intellectual knowledge, from multiple languages to the sciences, as well as survival skills.” With Boyle now on board however, a new touch is in the works according to Variety‘s Justin Kroll who says […]

CREED II: If There’s Poetry In Boxing…
SOUTHPAW, written by Kurt Sutter of the successful, long-running show Sons of Anarchy, came out in July of 2015. Ryan Coogler’s CREED, co-written with Aaron Covington, released four months later of the same year. Before seeing either of them, I expected to enjoy Creed but like Southpaw better, aesthetically. I have always been a huge fan of the Rocky series, but I was more recently a fan of Sons, so there, admittedly, was bias filled in my assumption that went beyond my reaction to their inaugural trailers. I was wrong, it turned out. Southpaw, though I loved it and still do, was, well, written by a television writer and felt like it. This is not to say it was bad by any measure, but the emotional beats bordered a bit much on the grandiose. And while this is great for a show with the breathing room of a serial, as […]

The dark, chilling world of danger and espionage runs provenly high in his storytelling skillset – one that will now apply to his next foray in Paramount’s Without Remorse, based on the seventh book in the late Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series. As Variety noted Wednesday night, Michael B.

In the wake of one of the most applauded franchises and its rousing 2016 spin-off, it wasn’t enough for there to be just a Creed 2 in this day and age. Such a franchise dare not forget the explosive chapter that unfolded 33 years ago when Rocky IV sought to serve as the page-turning social commentary relevant for its time. It also offset a key precursor in inaugrating the events that preset Ryan Coogler’s spin-off to its own acclaim with actor Michael B. Jordan succeeding the narrative for a new generation of moviegoers. That succession continues with Stephen Caple Jr. at the helm for a new round of compelling drama dedicating to rip open new wounds by way of old scars… Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed.
