Lego Movie, Jupiter Ascending, Man of Steel 2, Steven Spielberg

Lego Movie TV Spot and Posters!
   With the upcoming Lego Movie it was only a matter of time before we got some posters showing some of the character cameos and among those we have a look at Batman)above and Superman(below). That isn't all we were given though, we also got a out first TV spot trailer which can be found at the bottom. Now I touched on this movie awhile back when I first heard about but to recap...I actually think this movie will be quiet enjoyable. It looks funny, there are tons of surprise cameos and awesome voice talents attached to it. So for now this movie has my vote as a must see. Enjoy the posters and trailer!

Steven Spielberg
   The Hollywood legend appears to have found his next project and its of a 50 year old script originally written by Dalton Trumbo, Montezuma. According to CinemaBlend  "The plot would follow the relationship between Montezuma, the Aztec King, and Hernan Cortes, the Spanish explorer who ended the Aztec empire, beginning the first wave of Spanish explorers into Mexican territory. Javier Bardem, who has had a killer run in the last couple of years working with Sam Mendes, Terrence Malick and Ridley Scott, has shown interest in the Cortes role and presumably would be a part of this package." Obviously with something as old as that it would need some serious touch-up to be viable in this technologically advanced world, and Steven is planning to have Steve Zallian do just that. How does something like this sound to everyone? Just off of that and seeing the director...I am totally in!

Man of Steel 2
   With movies that are as huge as this one and as highly anticipated as this one, rumors ranging from "Batman will die!" to "This is going to be a Batman movie!" are inevitable. When it comes to such things its up to people and sites like Batman-On-Film to sort through it all and come to reasonable conclusions about may actually be true. According to BOF and CinemaBlend, 
   "In a series of guarded statements, BOF writer Bill Ramey claims that it is not a "team" film, but in fact a Superman film with other characters, through and through. This would explain Amy Adams, Lawrence Fishburne and Diane Lane returning from The Man of Steel, joining Ben Affleck’s Batman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa’s mystery supporting character." This is a very reasonable thought, and not something I did not think about, but I am a sucker for believing someone when they say they are making a Superman  sequel and nothing more...Now in a further talk,
   "Ramey claims that, as expected, Lex Luthor is the big bad in this film, though there is a second supporting villain onboard as well. Ramsey claims he can’t reveal the other villain, but he coyly remarks that the character is "highly rumored" to be in the film. Could it be Doomsday, the role that many are linking to Momoa? It certainly isn’t Martian Manhunter or Aquaman, two other characters linked to Momoa who Ramey claims are not in the movie at all. And we all know it ain’t a Justice League party without J’onn J’onzz! You also won’t get that much Batman in this film, as none of his colorful rogue’s gallery will be making an appearance." Of course everything here and then some is still rumor and speculation no matter how you slice it but you never know how close they are on the mark until the movie is released. Also there is some rumor and talk that the Amazonian's in this reincarnation of the DC heroes will be ancestors of Krypton...recognizing their superhuman strength but also limiting it due to living on earth for long that they have been diluted and acclimated to the atmosphere. If this is true I don't like...it spits in the face of everything that makes Wonder Woman who and what she is. Here is hoping to some of there rumors being true...and others staying rumor.

Channing Tatum
   The Wachowski siblings next hopeful blockbuster, Jupiter Ascending, is set to hit theaters 1 week earlier than planned, June 18th. With that done, above is a new picture of the star Channing that has surfaced. Channing's character named Caine, a genetically engineered hunter who works to protect a young woman (Mila Kunis) on Earth from the evil Queen of the Universe looks pretty bad ass...even if he is covered in make up and fake ears. When I first heard that this movie was coming and that the people that gave us the Matrix were behind it I went full nerd...and that was before watching the trailer, now that I have seen it and done some more reading up this upcoming movie...yup, still nerding out over this I can't wait eat some over priced popcorn and watch this.


Kite Trailer!
   For those that haven't heard and or have no idea what Kite is, there is a movie starring Samuel L Jackson based on the Japanese anime, manga, and graphic novel. 

   "The film centers on the schoolgirl orphan assassin Sawa (India Eisley), who sets out to avenge the death of her father (Liam J. Stratton) with the help of his ex-partner (Samuel L. Jackson). And this plan involves blowing holes in people’s hands and heads, plus loads of flipping around and leaping from tall things." The original story/concept for the anime and manga is some what similar. Compliments to T.H.E.M Anime Reviews for the anime synopsis;  "Sawa, a typical college girl, has a dark secret. She systematically assassinates people as instructed by her mentor, a self-styled vigilante of justice. However, the moment she begins to question the reasonings behing the slayings, she must defend herself and a fellow teenage assassin, from the deadly repercussions." As a deep lover of all things anime and bloody, I am willing to give this a shot at the moment. Will it be as good as the anime...probably not but that isn't a bad thing, translating something from a Japanese anime as we found out from Dragon Ball Evolution...yeah you all remember this crap shoot...is extremely hard so lets hope for the best here.
