Special Halloween Post: My Top 5 Horror Films

I haven't done a Top post before, but in the spirit of Halloween I want to share with you guys my Top 5 Horrors Films. Horror is one of my favorite genres of film, but I feel like it is one that has lost quality over the years. I feel that today there are few horror films that are really good compared to earlier years, and sometimes movies are made out of jump scares, cheap stories and characters claiming to be horror films. When I see a really good horror film, it's one of the best experiences I have while watching a film. The films on my list will probably be ones that most of you have already seen, but just in case you find one that you haven't, I highly recommend you go watch it - Maybe today since it's Halloween. So on that note here is my list. Happy Halloween.

Top 5 Horror Films:

#1

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

#2

The Exorcist (1973)

#3

Silence of the Lambs (1991)

#4

The Conjuring (2013)

#5

The Shining (1980)

Fun Post: How the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Teaser Should Have Ended

I have been sharing videos from the YouTube channel How It Should Have Ended, and since their videos are really good I'll keep sharing the ones that stand out to me. Given that the past weeks Marvel took over the internet with the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron and then their Phase 3 announcement, it makes perfect sense for me tho share with you How the Avengers: Age of Ultron Teaser Should Have Ended. Check out the video below.

Sam Raimi and Fede Alvarez Teaming up Again for 'A Man in the Dark'

The Evil Dead team of Sam Raimi, Fede Alvarez, Rod Tapert, and Rodo Sayagues are teaming up once again for the thriller A Man in the Dark. It was announced through a press release by Ghost House Pictures (via Collider) that the horror team will reunite for this new film, which Raimi and Tapert will produce, Alvarez and Sayagues will write, and that Alvarez will direct.

A Man in the Dark centers on three teenagers who perfectly plan home robberies that they always get away with. When they plan out the last robbery that will take them out of the life of crime, they target a blind man hiding millions of dollars. During this final heist things take a turn for the worst, and the teenagers find themselves trapped and trying to escape from a psychopath with some secrets of his own.

I wasn't really big on the remake of Evil Dead, but I'm still aware that this is a great horror film team and their projects are ones to keep an eye on. The plot at first glance doesn't really sound too appealing, but I am sure the people involved will find a way to translate the plot into a great horror film, so I hope when more material from the film comes out that it catches my interest.

Steve Jobs Biopic May Add Seth Rogen as Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak

It was recently confirmed that Christian Bale would have the leading role in Danny Bolye's Steve Jobs Biopic, and it appears that the film is moving along in finding the rest of the cast. Seth Rogen has been reported to be circling the role of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

TheWrap gave the exclusive that Seth Rogen is being eyed for the role with no deal closed yet, but Variety reports that the actor has already landed the role. Both reports also include that Jessica Chastain is being eyed for an unspecified role. The Steve Jobs biopic directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, will be composed of three extensive scenes taking place before the announcements of three iconic Apple products.

None of this is confirmed yet, but if it is I will be on board with it. I think Seth Rogen can be one of those actors that can make the successful jump from comedy to drama, and this is as good a time as any. As for Jessica Chastain, she is one of the best actresses out there today so even if the role is unspecified you know she will do a great job no matter what the role ends up being.

New 'Terminator: Genisys' Images

After the magazine covers, even more images from Terminator: Genisys have been released, and people are still pretty confused as to what this film will be in the franchise. The new images also come from EW and to me they look just like a plain photo shoot to promote the film, they don't really do much for me.

Terminator: Genisys stars Emilia Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, Matt Smith, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Byung Hun Lee, it hits theaters on July 1st, 2015. Check out the new images along with the reported synopsis below.

The beginning of Terminator: Genisys, the first of three planned films that Paramount hopes will relaunch the beloved sci-fi franchise, is set in 2029, when the Future War is raging and a group of human rebels has the evil artificial-intelligence system Skynet on the ropes. John Connor (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes‘ Jason Clarke) is the leader of the resistance, and Kyle Reese (Divergent's Jai Courtney) is his loyal soldier, raised in the ruins of postapocalyptic California. As in the original film, Connor sends Reese back to 1984 to save ­Connor's mother, Sarah, from a Terminator programmed to kill her so she won't ever give birth to John. But what Reese finds on the other side is nothing like what he expected.

New 'Interstellar' Clip

The road to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar has been a mysterious one, until recently very little was known about the film. Even so, it was one of the most anticipated films of the year, and now that the release date is coming up we are getting more and more promotional material. The latest has been a clip from the film that features Matthew McConaughey defending space travel, and he makes his point loud and clear.

Interstellar also stars Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine, David Oyelowo, Wes Bently, John Lithgow, Ellen Burstyn, Topher Grace, David Gyasi, Mackenzie Foy, Bill Irwin, Timothee Chalamet, and Matt Damon, it his theaters on November 7th. Check out the clip (via YouTube) below.

First 'Ex Machina' Trailer Released

The first teaser trailer has been revealed for the upcoming thriller Ex Machina, and it is unsettling. The trailer introduces us to the main characters and the base of the plot. We find a programmer who has been chosen by the CEO of a company to be the human side in a Turing Test of his latest A.I. experiment, after that things seem to take an interesting turn. This teaser really caught my attention, I want to see more material from the film.

Directed by Alex Garland, Ex Machina stars Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander, the film is set to be released on April 10th, 2015. Check out the full synopsis and trailer below.

Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive––and more deceptive––than the two men could have imagined.

Michael Bay in Talks to Direct Benghazi Film '13 Hours'

After years of giant robots it looks like Michael Bay is ready for a change, the director's work of recent years has revolved around the Transformers franchise, but now it appears he is looking to take on a more serious project. Michael Bay is reported to be in talks to direct the Benghazi political drama 13 Hours for Paramount.

THR gave the exclusive that Michael Bay is in negotiations to direct the film 13 Hours, which will be an adaptation of the book by Mitchell Zuckoff centering around an attack on an American compound in Libya. The script for the film was written by Chuck Hogan, and is said to focus on the following:

On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked the U.S. State Department Special Mission Compound in Benghazi. The focus is on six members of a security team that valiantly fought to defend the many Americans stationed there. They only partially succeeded: Stevens and a foreign service worker were killed in one attack, and two contract workers were killed during a second assault on a CIA station nearby.

Like in all reports of this kind, we have to remember that this doesn't mean that Michael Bay will for sure direct this film, but that he is in negotiations and he may be directing if those end well. The story of the film and the events it will be based on are very interesting and could translate to a great film, no matter who gets to direct. If Michael Bay gets the job, I would be lying if I said It wouldn't worry me, this film has a very serious subject matter and it makes me nervous how Bay would handle it. But, I am willing to give him the shot, this could very well be the chance for him to make an amazing film and get rid of the bad image he appears to have at the moment.

'Terminator: Genisys' First Look and Plot Details

Terminator: Genisys has been somewhat of a mysterious project, and for a film opening next year we have seen very little of it. Not much was known about the plot other than one of the stars of the film telling us that it wouldn't be a sequel or a reboot, which didn't answer much for me. We finally get some insight from the film, with the first character images revealed and plot details given.

EW (via Collider) gave us the first look at the characters from Terminator: Genisys and shared some details from the plot that this new film will have. According to the report, the new film will take place in 2029, but will include time travel to 1984. Terminator: Genisys will be a new take on the franchise giving nods to what came before, but the film will have new twists on the story:

Twist No. 1? Sarah Connor isn't the innocent she was when Linda Hamilton first sported feathered hair and acid-washed jeans in the role. Nor is she Hamilton's steely zero body-fat warrior in 1991's T2. Rather, the mother of humanity's messiah was orphaned by a Terminator at age 9. Since then, she's been raised by (brace yourself) Schwarzenegger's Terminator—an older T-800 she calls "Pops"—who is programmed to guard rather than to kill. As a result, Sarah is a highly trained antisocial recluse who’s great with a sniper rifle but not so skilled at the nuances of human emotion.

I'm sure there will be people that will not be pleased with some of the changes the film will have on the original story, for me as long as it serves the film and helps improve on the quality of the movie I'm fine with the sounds of this. Directed by Alan Taylor, Terminator: Genisys stars Emilia Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, Matt Smith, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Byung Hun Lee, opening in theaters on July 1st, 2015. Check out the EW covers below.

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' Final Trailer Released

Lionsgate has released the final trailer for the upcoming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, showing us Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) ready to lead the rebellion in the battle of epic proportions against President Snow and the Capitol. What we see in anticipation for the film in this trailer looks great, we all want to see all the events that will go down in this first part of the conclusion and if this trailer is any indication, we are in for a good time.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Natalie Dormer, Mahershala Ali, Elden Henson, Wes Chatham, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, and Donald Sutherland, and hits theaters on November 21st. Check out the final trailer (via YouTube) below.

 

Kevin Feige Talks Phase 3 Announcement

After the big event from Marvel where they announced their entire Phase 3 roster, naturally we being the speculative, questioning, and information-hungry fans that we are, there where many other questions that arose from the announcements. Kevin Feige took some time for a small 20 minute Q&A session with the press to answer some of those concerns.

/Film was kind enough to record that session for those of us not as fortunate to be invited to the event. Kevin Feige offered as many details as he could without revealing too much about the topics he couldn't talk about. Here are a few main points that stood out from all the questions answered.

• About Civil War, he said that Black Panther will appear in costume and play a big part in the events of the film. The conflict in the film will not be about secret identities, but as to who the superheroes answer to.
• The alter-ego of Captain Marvel will be Carol Danvers (from what I understand, many characters have held the title).
• About the introduction of Inhumans, he said that we will see some Easter eggs sooner than we expect.
• Everything that wasn't revealed in the event is a rumor until it is confirmed.
• Hulk will be in all of the Avengers films, but a solo film is still in "we'll see" territory.
• Black Widow will not get a solo film, but will also appear in the Avengers films. She has an important role in Age of Ultron.

These are just some of the main points touched on in the questions, but you can see the entire session in the video below.

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Clip

Marvel intended to release the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron during this week's episode of Agents of SHIELD, but after being forced to release it earlier because of the trailer leaking online, Marvel has decided to still give us something during that time slot. The studio released a clip from the upcoming film, which is said to be very similar to what fans got to see at Comic-Con. The clip features the superhero team enjoying a well deserved party at the Stark tower before being interrupted by the title villain.

The clip was very fun to watch, the party scene with the Avengers trying to lift Thor's hammer has that humor that Marvel movies usually have, but you can taste the seriousness and darkness from when Ultron appears. The rest is basically the trailer with some different clips here and there, but still really great sneak peek.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, hitting theaters on May 1st, 2015. Check out the clip below (via YouTube).

Marvel Announces Phase 3 Release Dates

Marvel has claimed the spotlight once again, two weeks after DC announced their movie roster, during a special event for the press Marvel announced their entire Phase 3 slate. The internet was about to break with these announcements and people are going to be talking and speculating about it for a while. Here is the movie lineup that Marvel revealed:

• Captain America: Civil War (May 6th, 2016)
• Doctor Strange (November 4th, 2016)
• Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (May 5th, 2017)
• Thor: Ragnarok (July 28th, 2017)
• Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman (November 3rd, 2017)
• Captain Marvel (July 6th, 2018)
• Inhumans (November 2nd, 2018)
• Avengers: Infinity War - Part I (May 4th, 2018) Part II (May 3rd, 2019)

Like the DC, announcement, this is a lot to take in as well, specially because Marvel usually doesn't reveal so many films that far ahead. Lets go at it by year, but before that let me mention a few things that stand out. One of the obvious points that came up was that there were no Hulk, Black Widow, nor Hawkeye standalone films, and this to me makes perfect sense because Hawkeye and Black Widow I consider to be more supportive characters rather than main characters being able to take on a solo film, and Hulk I think is a bit complex to put in a standalone film so I prefer they take their time and do it right. Another thing to point out is that in the wave of superhero films coming our way from 2015 to 2020, Marvel will be putting out three films per year in 2017 and 2018, so if you love superhero films, it is a great time to be alive and you and I will be spending quite some money in theaters from 2015 to 2020. But now lets talk about these reveals.

Starting Phase 3 in 2016, we will get to see Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange. This announcement confirms the reports that the third Captain America film will be based on the Civil War storyline and that Robert Downey Jr. will appear in the film, which is great news and definitely something to look forward to when it hits theaters on May 6th, 2016. We also now know that Doctor Strange is coming, which is fantastic because fans had been asking and expecting the introduction of this character for a while, there was no confirmation that Benedict Cumberbatch will have the leading role so for that we will have to wait, the film opens on November 4th, 2016.

In 2017, we will see the return of familiar characters with Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Thor: Ragnarok, plus the introduction of a new one with Black Panther. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 had already been announced at Comic-Con with a different release date so that was the stand-out there, the film is now set to be released on May 5th 2017. Thor: Ragnarok starring Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston will follow, and the word "Ragnarok" for the film will refer to a storyline in the comics about the end of days in Asgard, it will hit theaters on July 28th, 2017. The film that pops out from the rest in 2017 is definitely Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman, this was also a character that fans were waiting to see and will be the introduction of the first black superhero in the MCU, which is a great move, hitting theaters on November 3rd, 2017. 

Continuing in 2018, we will see Captain Marvel, Inhumans, and Avengers: Infinity War - Part I. I really don't know much about Captain Marvel and the Inhumans, but from what I have read about it's great to know that Marvel will have their first female led superhero film with Captain Marvel on July 6th, 2018, and a new team-up film with Inhumans on November 2nd, 2018. Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1 will finally see the Avengers taking on Thanos as he tries to collect the infinity stones, this fight has been teased long enough and we will see the first part of it on May 4th, 2018.

Finally, closing Phase 3 in 2019, is Avengers: Infinity War - Part II. Infitiny War was described as "the culmination of everything that has come before" and it sounds epic, we will see the conclusion of the two-part event on May 3rd, 2019.

Marvel you have done it again. Like I said, people will be talking about this for a while and there is plenty to talk about and speculate. All of these announcements make me look forward to the years of superhero movies that are coming our way, and not just from Marvel, but from the other studios. Hat's off to Marvel for the great work they do, and hopefully they will continue to do so.

Kevin Feige Talks 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', Says Roster Will Change

Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron has been the talk for the past few days, with the first trailer being leaked and then released, a scene being revealed today during Agents of SHIELD, plus Marvel making a big announcement at a special event today for the press. With the whole Civil War reports going around, people are wondering what will the future for the superhero team hold, and a rumor going around not too long ago was that the roster of characters could change. Kevin Feige confirmed the rumors by commenting on the subject during an on-set interview.

While talking to BuzzFeed (via Collider) about the Avengers films, Feige confirmed that the roster of the Avengers will change, specifying that the superhero team will be altered by the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron:

"The Avengers films, ideally, in the grand plan are always big, giant linchpins. It's like as it was in publishing, when each of the characters would go on their own adventures and then occasionally team up for a big, 12-issue mega-event.  Then they would go back into their own comics, and be changed from whatever that event was.  I envision the same thing occurring after this movie, because the [Avengers] roster is altered by the finale of this film."

These comments seem to make sense from what we apparently know of the future of these films and characters. If they are heading for a Civil War storyline then we could possibly begin to see that separation and animosity between the characters by the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron leading up to Captain America 3. The question that remains is who leaves and who stays, and for that we will have to wait until Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1st, 2015.

Benedict Cumberbatch in Talks to Star in 'Doctor Strange'

After negotiations with Joaquin Phoenix to star in Marvel's Doctor Strange ended, the studio went back to the drawing board to find their star to take the role of Sorcerer Supreme. Names that were still circling around the role after the departure of Phoenix were those of  Jared Leto and Tom Hardy, but apparently Marvel's first choice for the part is Benedict Cumberbatch. The actor is reported to be about to begin negotiations to land the leading role in the film.

Deadline reported the beginning of the negotiations that could see Benedict Cumberbatch become Stephen Strange. Cumberbatch was also rumored to be a contender for the role before, but it is only now that we are getting reports that the actor is actually in talks to star, and according to the report, it is expected that Marvel will close the deal with Cumberbatch.

Before commenting it is important to keep in mind that none of this is official yet, Marvel has not yet announced Benedict Cumberbatch as the lead for Doctor Strange, nor the actor has said so either, and what happened with Joaquin Phoenix is the prefect example that we can't take anything as fact until it is officially announced. But being that the deal with Cumberbatch is closed, I would be completely happy with the choice. He is an amazingly talented actor and is no stranger to big productions, since he has been in the Star Trek and The Hobbit franchises, he is also receiving early Oscar buzz for his role in the film The Imitation Game. Doctor Strange will be directed by Scott Derrickson from a script by Jon Spaihts, no release date has been announced yet, but it is expected that the film will hit theaters in Summer 2016.

'Exodus: Gods and Kings' Posters

New posters have been revealed for the upcoming Ridley Scott film Exodus: Gods and Kings, which show us the fight of epic proportions that will go on between brothers Moses (Christian Bale) and Ramses (Joel Edgerton). The Egyptian brothers are put against each other when the defiant Moses goes against Pharaoh Ramses, trying to lead 600,000 slaves into escaping from Egypt.

Putting aside my discomfort of looking at these white actors in makeup trying to appear Egyptian, from what I have seen in promotional material I think this film looks amazing. This is a great story and you can just get a sense of the epicness this brotherly conflict will have on screen. That's what these posters show you, two brothers on the battlefield fighting for what they believe in, just a glimpse of what to look forward to when it hits theaters.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Exodus: Gods and Kings stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Aaron Paul, set to be released on December 12th. Check out the posters below (via Collider).

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' Empire Magazine Covers

The release date for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is rapidly approaching, so naturally more and more promotional material is coming our way to build up excitement for the film. The latest promotional reveals come our way by magazine covers that give us a look at Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) suited up and ready to fight, leading the rebellion against the Capitol.

The covers come from the December issue of Empire Magazine hitting newsstands on October 30th, and feature two cover versions of the same picture. We see a burning and destroyed battlefield, in which we can see logos from both opposing sides, and in the middle is fierce Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) standing tall and prepared to shoot an arrow to anyone that stands in her way (she might be a bit too clean in the picture to be fighting, let's hope that's not the case in the film).

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Natalie Dormer, Mahershala Ali, Elden Henson, Wes Chatham, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, and Donald Sutherland, and hits theaters on November 21st. Check out the covers below.

'The LEGO Movie 2' Being Written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller

The LEGO Movie 2 was announced to be developed a while ago, which shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone, since the first film was a huge success grossing $468 million worldwide. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who wrote and directed the first one, were announced to produce the sequel, but with no word on who is set to direct the second installment, that posed the question of what further involvement Lord and Miller would have in the film. That question has now been answered, since it was reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have been set to write the script for The LEGO Movie 2.

Deadline reported on Warner Bros. signing Phil Lord and Chris Miller to write The LEGO Movie 2. There has not been an announcement on a director for the sequel, so this reportedly leaves the door open for Lord and Miller to return as directors as well if they choose to do so.

When films like The LEGO Movie have such success, I think it is a good move for a sequel to bring back the people involved that made the first film perform so well, being that they bring something new and fresh that will add to the new film. So for The LEGO Movie 2 to have Phil Lord and Chris Miller returning to write the script sounds like the best of ideas. It would be great if they would also direct again, but that is still unknown for the time being.

Title and Poster Revealed for 'Furious 7', Trailer Released in 7 Days

Go 'Into the Woods' in New Featurette

If you are curious to know more about Rob Marshall's Into the Woods you can do so by watching the new featurette that was revealed, which gives a sneak peek into what the movie is really about. The featurette includes interviews with the cast and crew, who give insight about the development of the film and its meaning, along with new footage that wasn't seen before.

Adapted from Stephen Sondheim's musical, Into the Woods stars Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Meryl Streep, Jhonny Depp, Lilla Crawford, Mackenzie Mauzy, Daniel Huttlestone, Tracey Ullman and Christine Baranski, opening in theaters on December 25th. Check out the featurette below (via YouTube).

'Insidious: Chapter 3' Teaser Trailer Released

Like it was announced in yesterday's clip, today the first teaser trailer for Insidious: Chapter 3 has been released. This is a very creepy little teaser trailer, to me it was a little slow at the beginning but later on it really gives you the tease it's supposed to, and being that it is a horror film it doesn't come short of a few scares.

Directed and written by Leigh Whannell, Insidious: Chapter 3 is a prequel that takes place before the occurrences of the previous two films, following psychic Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) as she contacts the dead in order to help a teenager (Stefanie Scott) that is being targeted by an evil and dangerous supernatural entity. The film also stars Dermot Mulroney, Hayley Kiyoko, Leigh Whannell, Michael Reid MacKay, Angus Sampson, and Ele Keats, hitting theaters on May 29th, 2015. Check out the trailer (via YouTube) below.

Christian Bale Confirmed for Steve Jobs Biopic

The untitled Steve Jobs Biopic written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle was reported to have been looking for its star for a while, big talent names had been circling the role but Leonardo DiCaprio turned it down and Christian Bale was last reported to be in talks to star. Apparently those talks ended well because it has been confirmed that Christian Bale will play the role of Steve Jobs in the biopic, and that confirmation came from none other than the film's writer Aaron Sorkin.

During an interview with Bloomberg (via Variety), Sorkin confirmed that Bale would play the leading role, pointing out that the actor was not required to audition for the role but that there was a meeting. Sorkin believes that Bale was an obvious choice by saying:

"We needed the best actor on the board in a certain age range and that's Chris Bale. It's an extremely difficult part and he's gonna crush it."

I am on board with this, I have said before that I am very interested in the whole concept of this film, not just because it's about Steve Jobs, but because it will consist of just three long scenes taking place just before the launch of an iconic Apple product. Christian Bale is an incredible actor, so there is for me no doubt that he will do a fantastic job with the role. Check out the comments from Aaron Sorkin below.

First Official Teaser Trailer and Poster from 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'

Marvel had announced that they would premiere the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron next week during and episode of Agents of SHIELD, but last night the trailer was leaked online and Marvel made the best out of a bad situation by releasing the trailer ahead of time along with a poster, and with their usual Marvel charm tweeting out "Dammit, Hydra". Other than being happy for getting to watch the trailer for Avenger: Age of Ultron early, I really liked how Marvel handled this, they were so smart on dealing with this situation and took back something that seemed out of their hands, reactions like these show you why they are succeeding as much as they are.

Dammit, Hydra.
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) October 22, 2014

The trailer itself looks amazing, it has a dark tone and a sense of despair that I don't think we have ever seen from any Marvel film before. I wasn't big on the Pinocchio song but It does work for the theme of the trailer, so I can deal with it. Ultron stood out for me in the trailer, he looks menacing, and not just from what we see at the end but even the voice from the beginning of the trailer tells you that he means business. The Hulkbuster armor looks incredible, I'm very curious to what makes Iron Man and the Hulk fight but whatever it is it looks like its gonna be an epic battle. Like I said this trailer looks really dark and makes you feel that the Avengers are gonna have a really tough time dealing with Ultron, they look really desperate and beaten in the trailer so I can't wait to see how they get out of this one, did I mention I loved this trailer? You can check it out with the poster below.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, hitting theaters on May 1st, 2015.

'Insidious: Chapter 3' Poster and Teaser Trailer Announcement Clip

A couple of days ago we got behind the scenes images from Insidious: Chapter 3, now we get a clip that announces the premiere of the first teaser trailer tomorrow and a poster. The clip doesn't show much but it does its job in announcing the teaser trailer with little flashes from what we might get tomorrow.

Insidious: Chapter 3 will be a prequel that will take place before the occurrences of the previous two films, following psychic Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) as she contacts the dead in order to help a teenager (Stefanie Scott) being targeted by an evil and dangerous supernatural entity. Directed by Leigh Whannell, Insidious: Chapter 3 stars Lin Shaye, Stefanie Scott, Dermot Mulroney, Hayley Kiyoko, Leigh Whannell, Michael Reid MacKay, Angus Sampson, and Ele Keats, the film hits theaters on May 29th, 2015.

First Look at Jhonny Depp as The Wolf in 'Into the Woods'

Out of the main characters we were given a look at in the Into the Woods trailer and other reveals, Jhonny Depp as The Wolf is the one we were still waiting to see. Now we finally get the first look at the character, who is included in one of the four magazine covers that also feature the other main characters.

Entertainment Weekly shared the exclusive covers which show us the main cast of characters and gives us the first look at Depp in full costume. Director Rob Marshall had a couple of comments about the film:

"I didn't want this to look like a cartoon world.  It's not sunny, sunny, sunny — we wanted a sense of danger. I've been offered many witches over the years, starting when I was 40, and I said no to all of them.  But this was really fun because it played with the notion of what witches mean.  They represented age and ugliness and scary powers we don't understand.  So here's my opportunity to say, here's what you wish for when you're getting old."

I have said that I am not looking forward to this film, and I am still not, probably less from seeing Depp in costume. The director said that he didn't want this to look like a cartoon, but to me The Wolf and the rest of the cast look exactly like cartoon characters, specially The Wolf. Into the Woods stars  Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Meryl Streep, Jhonny Depp, Lilla Crawford, Mackenzie Mauzy, Daniel Huttlestone, Tracey Ullman and Christine Baranski, hitting theaters on December 25th.
