CREED Is More Than A Name In The Brand New Trailer!

Remaking, rebooting or sequelizing classic hit films can always feel like a gamey thing to try and achieve. However, a concentrated effort with central focus on all the right ingredients can lead to great things. Take this to heart when contemplating the last 39 years and what filmmaker John G. Avildsen and actor Sylvester Stallone accomplished with the breakout hit film, Rocky, a true underdog story at its core with boxing as its main centerpiece. The franchise that followed with five more movies up until 2006 embody just the kind of legacy a great film can carry for its fans; Symbolically, it’s the same amount of weight we now see being lived on through newly-added Michael B. Jordan now taking the lead under director Ryan Coogler for the new spin-off, Creed. We’ve already seen at least one trailer so far, so we now know what we’re in for and clearly […]

Is A Fourth EXPENDABLES Filming Later This Year?

Lee B. Golden III

The trades haven’t said much, though international news outlets are being forwarded by Expendables fansite, Expendables Premiere, which suggest a fourth installment may commence filming as early as this November. Action star Sylvester Stallone is reportedly flying out to Colombia by then where principal photography will begin, with Bulgaria also slated through 2016 by way of NuBoyana Studios’s announcement. The 2010 film, The Expendables led to a trilogical resurgence of popular R-rated action on the big screen with exception to last year’s PG-13 affair, and there have been but a few stumbles in that regard; The latter film ended up being pirated over a month ahead of its official theatrical release, an act questionably related to the fan response over the film’s watered-down rating, although the film did manage a global box office comeback to the tune of over $206 million dollars to overcome its domestic shortfall. Other names mentioned […]

Stallone And Jordan Meet In The First Official CREED Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

Close to forty years since actor Sylvester Stallone paved the way for one of his biggest most successful movie franchises to date, his latest puts new blood into the ring that nonetheless aims at revitalizing the spirit and tone of a young and driven protagonist. For this, we seek to wonder if Fruitvale Station helmer, Ryan Coogler‘s latest, Creed, will begin to accomplish what four decades have done for Stallone in the longstanding Rocky saga, though it’s safe to suggest that our leading man, Michael B. Jordan, has stepped up to the plate and is, as much of this may sound as a pun to many, going for it! SYNOPSIS: From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.” The film explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story and stars Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role. The film also reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale […]

Hulk Hogan Talks Potentially Joining THE EXPENDABLES 4

Lee B. Golden III

A fourth installment of The Expendables franchise has had its fair share of on-again/off-again treatment since the third film released last August. However, knowing how passionate franchise star Sylvester Stallone is about his projects, it’s fair to say that it isn’t too late for another movie, especially since the previous one showed some strength at the global box-office. That said, I guess we can start taking note of just which faces we can speculate would be in the running to join the film on either side of the hero/villain coin, and there are plenty to go around, and as of this week, former wrestler Hulk Hogan is reportedly looking for a spot in the line-up. According to Uproxx, Hogan was on hand recently at the Body Pro Expo in London where he talked about WresleMania 32 among other things, as well as his reported discussion with Stallone on the matter […]

Fox Orders THE EXPENDABLES To Script For Television

Lee B. Golden III

May 2015 be the age where all things action make way for the small screen! Ironically, the last franchise you would expect to be going straight to television would be The Expendables, considering its R-rated ensemble back in 2010 and 2012 promising a revitalized era of the glory days of old-school action from the 80’s and 90’s…before this happened. Well, times have changed and the franchise’s lead action star, Sylvester Stallone and partner Avi Lerner have since decided to take whatever prospects there may have been for a fourth to see if the formula will work on television, thanks to a new report from Deadline. Word has it that the two will now be executive producing a potential television series based on the franchise for Fox from Lionsgate TV. Shane Brennan, who worked on NCIS will be showrunning as well as scripting with Ride Along write Greg Coolidge and Kirk […]

Film Of The Week: THE EXPENDABLES 3 (2014)

Lee B. Golden III

SYNOPSIS: Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet. REVIEW: In 2010, filmmaker Patrick Hughes earned the spotlight for his then-directorial debut Western thriller, Red Hill. It earned several nomimations and became a hit among audiences, including actor Sylvester Stallone who went […]

Following up on reports from June, the official Facebook page from Millenium Films is reporting that the next installment of the Rambo franchise may begin filming sooner than many of us think. The update came in response to a Facebook post on Friday that confirmed the news: (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’)); Post by Millennium Studios.

Lee B. Golden III

Director Patrick Hughes‘ next big action thriller, The Expendables 3 comes out in a few weeks. The reviews are in from various websites with the film hitting some highs and lows, but Lionsgate is still debuting the upcoming third installment on the big screen on August 15 as planned.

Stallone On Johnson For Expendables 4: "Bring It On"

Lee B. Golden III

August 15 will be the day that moviegoers will get to officially see the iconic who’s-who of blockbuster fanfare with the release of director Patrick Hughes’s new film, The Expendables 3. Ironically, it will also be the day that the filmmakers and studio involved will see if whether or not the film’s recent illegal leak with affect its box office earnings before ever moving forward with a fourth film. Lionsgate is suing a slate of unnamed defendants for allocating the film through torrent sites two weeks ahead of its release, while the Department Of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also opened up a federal investigation on the matter. It’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions, and needless to say, this all would never be an issue if a bunch of selfish bastards online didn’t steal the film. Personally, I would rather talk about the movies, and that includes the […]

Is RAMBO V Happening?

Lee B. Golden III

Comingsoon.net has forwarded new updates pertaining to the long-awaited production of the fifth film in the epic eponymous war commando saga, Rambo. Franchise actor Sylvester Stallone successfully reinvigorated the character back in 2008 film, Rambo, twenty years after three feature-length installations were made, ultimately putting the actor on the map for blockbuster action stardom. As of 2009, with a TV-show previously reported to be in development with Stallone also potentially starring, producers at Nu Image/Millennium Films had already greenlit the film, especially since Stallone already owns the rights to the 1999 novel, Hunter, from which the film was once thought to be based on. With this, the official synopsis now deviates from the novel for the film, tentatively titled Rambo V, and reads as follows, courtesy of the film’s new rights holders, Germany-based Splendid Film: With ‘Rambo V’ Sylvester Stallone returns in his iconic role. This time he goes up against a […]
