Must Watch Full Trailer for PENNY DREADFUL

Screen Shot 2014-02-14 at 5.13.24 PM.png

Showtime has released a full trailer for their awesome-looking new psychosexual horror series, Penny Dreadful. I love this kind of stuff, especially when it's done well. The show revolves around some of literature's most terrifying characters, such as Dorian Gray, Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula. The show is set in Victorian London, and it "weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation."

It stars Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Reeve Carney, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, and Harry Treadaway. The series is set to premiere on May 11th, and it definitely looks like one that will be worth watching. 


1980s Style Pop Culture Movie Action Figures

Back in the 1980s most action figures were crude-looking toys with four whole points of articulation. These days the toys being made are insanely cool, with an incredible amount of detail. But there's still a certain charm in those old figures that has been lost over the years.

I'm happy to say that ReAction Figures is bringing back the '80s style toys. They plan to released a line of 1980s carded action figures from several pop culture classic movies such as Back to the Future, The Goonies, Pulp Fiction, Firefly, The Terminator, Friday the 13th, Predator, The Rocketeer, Escape from New York, and more.

The figure you see here are currently available for pre-order now on Entertainment Earth. They will hit stores in June and will cost $10 a piece.

Trailer for Doc that Centers on JODOROWSKY'S DUNE

DUNE-HEADLINE.jpg

Dune is one of my favorite sci-fi novels, and I've always wanted to see an adaptation of it that blows my mind. In the 1970s director Alejandro Jodorowsky almost made it happen. Unfortunately it didn't, which is such a shame, because it looks like it could have been amazing.

Sony Pictures Classics has just released a new feature-length documentary called Jodorowsky's Dune that focuses on the development of this adaptation of Dune

Directed by Frank Pavich, Jodorowsky's Dune explores legendary cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre) and his staggeringly ambitious, yet ultimately doomed, mid-1970’s film adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel "Dune." The tale of Jodorowsky and his Dune is a fascinating trip through creativity and imagination, a story about the relentless pursuit of a dream, and the necessity of art. In pre-production for over two years, the film was to star Jodorowsky's own 12-year-old son Brontis alongside Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and even Salvador Dali, set to a musical score by Pink Floyd and art-design by some of the most provocative talents of the era, including H.R. Giger and Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud. 

I liked David Lynch's version of Dune, but I still think the Jodorowsky version could have been so much better. I'm still waiting for a Dune film to love.

Marty McFly's Nike Power Laces Coming in 2015!

BTTF2 3.JPG

The year 2015 is upon us. The future of Back to the Future Part II is almost here, and the world is no where near the future they envisioned. There are no hover boards, flying cars, futuristic-looking '80s clothes, or people wearing their clothes inside out. But, it looks like Nike plans on having power laces! Nike designer Tinker Hatfield showed up at the Jordan Brand's Flight Lab space in New Orleans recently, and when he was asked about power laces this is what he said,

"Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say YES!"

Hatfield didn't go into any details on whether the power laces will show up on the Nike Mag or some other product, but does it really matter?! Power laces are coming! That's enough to get me excited. 2015 just got even more awesome.

I wonder how long Nike has been holding on to this power laces technology.

Trailer for Angelina Jolie's Great-Looking UNBROKEN

Screen Shot 2014-02-16 at 3.23.16 PM.png

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for director Angelina Jolie's new film Unbroken. The movie is a period drama that tells the real life story of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini who, "along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp." I love this kind of movie, and this one looks It looks pretty incredible.

Jack O’Connell takes on the role of Zamperini, and it also stars Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as Phil and Mac, "the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific." It co-stars Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as "fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as 'The Bird.'"

The film is an adaptation of of a novel from Laura Hillenbrand, and it sounds like an incredibly inspiring story. The script for the film has been worked on by a few talented screenwriters including Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men), William Nicholson (Les Misérables) and Richard LaGravenese (HBO’s Behind the Candelabra).

The movie is set to be released in theaters on Christmas Day 2014.

Lucasfilm has released the first two promo trailers for their new animated series Star Wars Rebels, and it looks like it could be fun. The footage released features the lead character Ezra, who is voiced by Taylor Gray. They also give us a glimpse at a few other characters and ships that we'll see in the series. 

Set between the events of "Episode III" and "IV" — an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen – "Star Wars Rebels" takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape.

Star Wars Rebels will be premiering this fall as a one hour special on the Disney Channel, followed by a full series run on Disney XD. This series has a lot of potential to be awesome, and I've really liked what I've seen so far.

I've also included a couple of behind the scenes videos for last night's episode "Inmates."

As you know, Joss Whedon is currently in Johannesburg, South Africa shooting a few scenes for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The footage being shot reportedly involves The Hulk, and in one of these set videos you'll see a truck get knocked around as if Hulk is slamming into it. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more set photos over the months the film is shooting around the world. It would be nice if Marvel just released some official photos of the process. The movie is set to be released on May 1st, 2015.

Lots of Guardians of the Galaxy toys are on display at Toy Fair 2014, covered here, here, and here. Collider has video of Chris Pratt’s Star Lord action figure saying a couple phrases. The movie cast doesn’t always provide the voice for their toy counterpart, so this is a rare treat. All the official photos of Pratt as Star Lord so far haven’t displayed the signature long coat. But as all the toys have, I’m hoping we get to see it in the movie. Guardians of the Galaxy open August 1st (USA).

What If DOCTOR WHO Starred American Actors?

Over all these years it's kind of surprising that the U.S. hasn't made their own version of Doctor Who. I doubt it would have ever been as good, but it's hard to know because it has never happened. In case you were wondering what American actors might have starred as the Doctor over the years, Tumblr blogger Smug Mode imagined what the 13 incarnations of The Doctor might have looked like as an American series. This is a fun "what if?" scenario to help spark a discussion among fans of the classic sci-fi series. Are there any other American actors you think would have made good Doctors?

Trailer for Tom Hardy's Thriller LOCKE

locke_poster1.png

For those of you who are fans of Tom Hardy, we've got the first trailer for his new thriller Locke for you to watch. The movie showed at Sundance last month, and I heard a lot of positive buzz. It looks like a really intense film. It was directed by Steven Knight, and here's the synopsis:

Ivan Locke has crafted a nearly flawless life. Professionally, he is an obsessive perfectionist, respected by his coworkers and loved by his bosses. He cherishes the bond he shares with his two sons and the unshakeable partnership he has developed with his wife. This is the life he always imagined, an ideal existence built with painstaking care. Hours before the biggest day of his career, Locke receives a phone call that threatens to destroy the life he has worked so meticulously to create. As he struggles to keep his world intact, he is forced to confront his imperfections and the fractured foundation where they are rooted.

This is one of the film I wanted to see while up at the festival, but never got the chance. A couple of our other writers did though, and this is what Mily Dunbar had to say about Hardy's performance in the film in her review,

"It is lucky that Hardy is maybe the most charismatic actor currently working, so he holds your attention. And he’s playing fairly extreme distress and anxiety, which isn’t anything I’ve seen from him before. He kills it. He isn’t over the top–he is very, very controlled. He is precise and meticulous and gentle. His projection of calm reassurance rarely breaks, and almost never when he is interacting with another character. This is a bravura performance, maybe the best of his career. He manages to get the audience on his side right away, and somehow keeps them on his side through all of his problems, which, it should be noted, are entirely of his own making. "

Locke hits U.K. theaters on April 18th and will then be released in U.S. theaters a week later. The movie also stars Ruth Wilson, Olivia Colman, Andrew Scott, Tom Holland, and Bill Milner.
