CAPTIVE STATE: Chicago Is Under Siege In The First Trailer
In pursuing how one goes about approaching alien invasion thrillers, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt has some seemingly fresh ideas. His newest, visceral new sci-fi thriller, Captive State, now has an official trailer for its upcoming release from Focus Features, offering an ample view into the seething millieu of an American city colonized by aliens, and established as a dictatorship. The PR campaign is also putting in the extra effort with this little jewel. Captive State, directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and starring John Goodman and Ashton Sanders, is a sci-fi thriller set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after it has been occupied by an extraterrestrial force. Captive State uses a grounded sci-fi setting to shine light on the modern surveillance state and the threats to civil liberties and the role of dissent within an authoritarian society. […]

Rupert Wyatt Parts Ways From Fox's GAMBIT
I’m a little discouraged by some of the news now circulating online (I’m not even gonna bother covering Pacific Rim 2 as I’ve just about run out of patience here to even ponder a thought enough to blog about it). To be quite frank, it gets tiring and a little draining when reading about projects that go awry for some reason or another. The same is the case for Fox’s current development of the Marvel adaptation, Gambit with Channing Tatum starring and producing. The word now is that it’s director, Rupert Wyatt, just walked from the film with THR citing creative and budgetary issues pertaining to the script, which was written by Josh Zetumer. So, first we lose Tatum, then we get him back, and then we lose Wyatt. And all while Fox is looking to start production soon for the sake of having a new frontman for its Marvel […]
It's Official! Channing Tatum Closes The Deal To Play GAMBIT!
Apparently NOW the word now after all the ruckus about actor Channing Tatum disbanding from Twentieth Century Fox’s production of the comic book adaptation, Gambit, is that he’s officially closed a deal to star. A new report by CBM via THR suggests there was uncertainty as to whether or not Tatum would be able to return for multiple movies seeing as how the studio is looking forward to replacing Hugh Jackman as its Marvel franchise mainstay while he finishes his last stint as The Wolverine. Gambit was created by Jim Lee and Chris Clairemont and unveiled in X-Men comic book universe beginning in 1990, sporting a cajun accent with impeccable charm and the ability to charge most objects with energy, rendering them explosive. Tatum has long been in the running to star, and much to the delight of executives at Fox, including Lauren Shuler Donner who has produced all of […]
Fox's GAMBIT Loses Its Star
It’s no fun wasting minutes of hype writing about movies and casting faves only to see such developments fall apart before our eyes. Actor Channing Tatum has long been the frontrunner for Twentieth Century Fox’s upcoming production of live-action Marvel property, Gambit, having spoken with high hopes of playing the character, followed by word that Rupert Wyatt would be directing. As of Tuesday night however, it appears it has all been for naught with a report from The Wrap stating the actor’s departure from the film. No reason has been publicly given for the fallout, although any number of reasons are imaginable considering it’s a major studio production, so, your guess is as good as mine at this point. Production is expected to begin in Louisiana this October for a hefty sum of $154 million dollars ahead of its October 7, 2016 release. There’s no word yet on who will […]
Rupert Wyatt To Direct Marvel's GAMBIT For Fox
All other things pending regarding actor Channing Tatum‘s involvement on the future Ghostbusters and Jumpstreet franchises in some capacity, the Magic Mike XXL star is currently out promoting his new film which is set to arrive on July 1. However if a male stripper drama isn’t something you fancy and would rather see the actor in something a bit more explosive, you can best count on some of this happening in the upcoming release of 20th Century Fox’s Marvel adaptation, Gambit, which has been in the works for a while now. The bright-eyed mutant character was initially created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990 and shares a history as a bit of a wild-card anti-hero in the X-Men spectrum of the Marvel universe. Hailing from Louisiana with a thick Cajun accent, the character is best known for his affiliation with the X-Men, on top of his love for […]
