THE FIRST PURGE Ignites War And Unrest In The First Official Trailer
Director Gerard McMurray brought viewers a darkly scintilating, brutal perspective with fraternity hazing drama, Burning Sands. He’s now back in the fray having offered up his craft at the helm once more in what looks to be an even more exciting follow-up to his work now in the good graces of Universal Pictures, Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes for the fourth and next installment of The Purge franchise with the July 4 release of The First Purge.

According to THR, producer Lawrence Kasanoff initially worked on bringing a film to life for about ten years until […]
JACK RYAN Heads To The Small Screen
Turning films into television series adaptations have become quite a thing as of late. Shows like Shooter, Limitless, Rush Hour, Galaxy Quest and Minority Report are all gaining a foothold for TV treatment away from their theatrical heyday,8 and at the rate we’re going, I wouldn’t be surprised if John Wick went to the small screen after its current theatrical growth. Time will tell when that will happen if the trend remains, but at least fans of the popular Jack Ryan novels and films will have something to look forward to thanks to former Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and scribe Graham Roland, who are currently preparing to bring Jack Ryan to full series fruition according to Deadline. Platinum Dunes, Skydance Media and Paramount TV are also in on the efforts along with executive producers from Carlton Cuse Productions and Roland, for a series that will transition the Jack Ryan we […]
