Sylvester Stallone Is Back To Developing THE EXPENDABELLES

A lot remains unanswered for the window of time between now and the last reports we’ve heard on various female-centric projects themed on actor Sylvester Stallone’s success with the Expendables trilogy. Dating back to 2012, folks like Dredd 3D producer Adi Shankar were said to be circling one such project while it was made clear a few years later that Killers helmer Robert Luketic would sit in the chair with Millenium Films for the aptly-named The ExpendaBelles. The latter project replaced its premise a day later with what read like a truly meaty action comedy contender for an all female cast, inspired by Stallone’s action franchise with our heroines forced to knuckle up when a rescue mission turns into a deadly fight to topple a mad dictator. Filming was expected to commence that summer with Stallone serving as one of the producers and actress Sigourney Weaver potentially up to star. […]

Lee B. Golden III

Actress Michelle Rodriguez is still a leading mainstay in Fast And Furious franchise having just begun her return for the production of F. Gary Gray’s Fast 8. In the meantime, her prospects beyond Universal Pictures’s road-thriller franchise are also coming to fruition courtesy of 48 Hours and Bullet To The Head helmer Walter Hill’s newest, Tomboy, A Revenger’s Tale. The film is certainly a double-take inducer given its premise: An assassin who seeks revenge after he’s double crossed by gangsters and given gender-reassignment surgery at the behest of a sinister plastic surgeon, played by actress Sigourney Weaver. This one already has some nifty new images now viral as of earlier this year following various acquisitions already made in Berlin, and now the word from Deadline reports on the film’s North American landing at Saban Films. “This is a revenge action thriller with a twist,” said Saban Film’s Bill Bromiley. “Tomboy, […]

Neill Blomkamp Officially Announces ALIEN Sequel

Lee B. Golden III

Put a little concept art online and people lose their minds! In this case, we veer over to the viral artwork of District 9 and Elysium helmer Neill Blomkamp whose conceptual pieces have been making the rounds for sometime now with reference to the once short-lived prospects of an Alien sequel. The original franchise launched by director Ridley Scott in 1979. Starring actress Sigourney Weaver, the film spawned massive cult acclaim among sci-fi geeks, as well as a four-film series in addition to two vs. Preadator-crossover films between 2004 and 2007 before Scott took the helm for the 2012 release of Prometheus, attempting to establish an origin telling in the process. Generally speaking, it wasn’t exactly what fans wanted but the film did enough for a sequel which is now in development…but that’s not all. It was during the production of Blomkamp‘s upcoming March release of Chappie that several discussions […]

CHAPPIE Takes On Big Robots And Bigger Dreams In A New Trailer!

Lee B. Golden III

If not for the fact that District 9 and Elysium helmer, South Africa’s own Neill Blomkamp was the go-to-guy at one point earlier on for an Alien film, there’s a reason why filmgoers love him. Simply put, while the former title does outweigh the latter in some areas, he’s good at what he does, and clearly it shows. Alas when you look at his latest offering in the new sci-fi thriller, Chappie, of course you might be thinking Short Circuit by way of iRobot and Robocop, and you may be right, as well in for another possible cinematic treat! SYNOPSIS: Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find […]

It’s been ten years since award-winning director James Cameron began his journey into the world of Pandora for the production of his 2009 milestone success story, Avatar. With time on his side and the technological advancements in film pending, it was only a matter of time the filmmaker would soon reap the benefits of such filmmaking and entertainment innovations, from motion capture and 3D technology, to the implementation of 4D entertainment in select theaters worldwide. Evidently, the film was a record-breaking box-office victory for Cameron and the distributors at 20th Century Fox, earning well-over $2.7 billion dollars between 2009, and its re-release in 2010, and ultimately becoming the highest grossing film to date. Moreover, on top of its Academy Award, Golden Globe, Saturn Awards and BAFTA accolades, the film drew mostly positive reviews for its environmentally-centric and anti-war message on top of its emotionally-charged delivery, packed with explosive visual spectacle […]
