Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 were both major hits critically and financially, which wasn’t really a surprise. What may surprise you, however, is that one of the main characters, Gamora, nearly had a much different look. Concept artist Andy Park took to Instagram to reveal his initial look for the character: This is the same version I posted previously but with a cloak on. I always thought she’d look great with a more mysterious feel to her like the assassin she used to be #guardiansofthegalaxyvol2 #gamora #gotg #conceptart #design #costume #illustration #digitalart #digitalpainting #photoshop…

After we just learned that The Batman will reportedly be going into production early next year, we now have another interesting rumor about a key DC Comics character appearing in the film. That character? Will Smith’s Deadshot. In a recent article from Latino Review (that was taken down) the site said that Smith’s Deadshot would have a major role. It’s also worth nothing that the report said it was rumble behind the scenes at this point and that it’d happen IF things pan out. The report also stated that Deadshot in the film would create a The Good, The Bad,…

One of the most anticipated movies for The DCEU is The Batman. Though it’s gotten off to a slow start with a few delays, a new rumor suggests that the film could begin production rather soon. Umberto Gonzalez recently had a Periscope session in which he revealed that the film would start production if “if everything falls into place”.  Ben Affleck will still be Batman as far as we know, as Affleck praised director Matt Reeves back in July: “Trying to do that, and direct, would probably be too much. Something would be compromised. I think it came off, optically, to the broader world,…

Darren Aronofsky first drew critical acclaim with 1998’s Pi, a film about a paranoid mathematician searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature. The critical acclaim and success of that film gave him the opportunity to produce 2000’s Requiem For A Dream, a film that by all accounts isn’t something the average moviegoer would want to watch more than once. It’s an awful film – but that’s why it’s so good. It’s been classified as a “drug” film by most reviewers, but Aronofsky himself has stated this isn’t the case: “Requiem for a Dream is…

Before Batman Begins, Darren Aronofsky was set to direct a Batman film for Warner Bros. The studio ultimately went in another direction after one draft was written (more on that below). Aronofsky, however, has revealed (via First Showing) that the upcoming solo Joker movie planned by the studio is in the same vein as his Batman film: “I hear the way they’re talking about the Joker movie and that’s exactly — that was my pitch. I was like: We’re going to shoot in East Detroit and East New York. We’re not building Gotham. The Batmobile — I wanted to be…

One of the bigger hits of this year was definitely John Wick: Chapter 2. It was acclaimed by critics and fans alike, and was also a Box Office smash, so naturally, another film is on the way. A new report from Variety confirms that John Wick: Chapter 3 will be released in 2019: Lionsgate has set a release for the Keanu Reeves action movie “John Wick: Chapter 3.” The film is expected to hit theaters on May 17, 2019 — the first title to land on the date. Director Chad Stahelski spoke about the production back in May: “It’s more…

David Harbour is playing Hellboy in the upcoming reboot of the film – replacing Ron Perlman. While getting rid of Perlman caused quite an uproar on the internet, fans might be pleased to learn that the new actor looks very similar to the previous version we saw on screen. The first look at the character was revealed via Twitter: Holy crap #Hellboy #FirstLook pic.twitter.com/dpryXiHDHE — Hellboy (@HellboyMovie) September 13, 2017 The film is said to be a much more gruesome and violent version of the character – according to Screenwriter Andrew Cosby: “I can’t really talk about specifics with regard…

Thor: Ragnarok is a pretty highly anticipated movie for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It can’t, however, hold a candle to the anticipation of Avengers: Infinity War, a film that will undoubtedly change the MCU as we know it. In a recent interview with Screen Rant, producer Brad Winderbaum gave a little insight as to how Thor: Ragnarok paves the way for Infinity War: “In Winter Soldier we broke down some of the real fundamental ideas about the MCU that you took for granted, specifically S.H.I.E.L.D.. I think that also in phase one, we established this cosmology that involved Asgard and…

For those of you who are unaware, Stephen King’s novel, IT, has some pretty graphic content in it. And when we say graphic, we mean graphic, as it features a child orgy scene. The fact that it wasn’t in the movie has caused people to talk a great deal about it, and now Stephen King himself has responded. In an interview with Vulture, the author said: “To it I’d just add that it’s fascinating to me that there has been so much comment about that single sex scene and so little about the multiple child murders. That must mean something,…

If you haven’t seen IT yet, what are you waiting for? Everyone else did, as it made the most money ever for a Horror film in one weekend. Though a sequel hasn’t officially been greenlit yet, writing is already underway, and director Andy Muschietti already has some interesting new plans for IT: Chapter 2. While speaking to EW, he revealed: “I want to make his character the one pivotal character who brings them all together, but staying in Derry took a toll with him. I want him to be a junkie actually. A librarian junkie. When the second movie starts,…
