Trinity Unites in Latest BvS Dawn of Justice Trailer

2015-12-04T01:04:00.000+08:00

Just in case you missed it, Warner Bros. releases a new trailer for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. New footage are revealed with Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and a shocking addition of another villain. Watch it for yourself.

From director Zack Snyder (“Man of Steel”) comes “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” starring Oscar winner Ben Affleck (“Argo”) as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”) as Superman/Clark Kent in the characters’ first big-screen pairing.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film also stars Oscar nominees Amy Adams (“American Hustle,” “Man of Steel”) as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”) as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane (“Unfaithful,” “Man of Steel”) as Martha Kent, and Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It,” “Man of Steel”) as Perry White; Oscar winners Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) as Alfred, and Holly Hunter (“The Piano”) as Senator Finch; and Gal Gadot (the “Fast and Furious” films) as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince.

Snyder directed from a screenplay written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, based on characters from DC Comics, including Batman, created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, and Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film is produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, with Wesley Coller, Geoff Johns and David S. Goyer serving as executive producers.

Snyder’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Larry Fong (“300,” “Watchmen”) and production designer Patrick Tatopoulos (“300: Rise of an Empire”), and from his “Man of Steel” team, editor David Brenner, costume designer Michael Wilkinson and visual effects supervisor John “DJ” DesJardin. The music is by Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer (“The Lion King,” “Man of Steel”) and Junkie XL (“Mad Max: Fury Road”).

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, a Zack Snyder film, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. The film opens nationwide in RealD 3D, and in 2D, and in select IMAX 3D theaters on March 25, 2016.

This film has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality.

In case you are confused, yes that is Doomsday. And it appears that Doomsday is none other than a reanimated Zod (Michael Shannon). Basically, Doomsday is a Kryptonian Zombie now. Am I happy about it? Honestly, I don't care that much of the changes from source material. No matter how fans object on these changes, studios still havethe final say. So I just wish, it will work for the best.

Coming in March 26, 2016, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Alice Through the Looking Glass Teaser Trailer now Out

2015-11-06T22:59:00.002+08:00

I could be one of those few who actually like Alice in Wonderland when it came out in the theaters five years ago. Because of the mix to bad feedbacks, I really thought Disney scrapped the idea of making it a franchise. Good thing now I don't need to worry about it because the follow up is finally here. Watch the teaser trailer after the jump.

In Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter.

It is also a treat that almost everyone is coming back for this project. From Mila Wasikowska (Alice), Johnny Depp (Hatter), Alan Rickman (Absolem), Anne Hathaway (White Queen Mirana), Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen Iracebeth) and many more. And it is an added delight to know that Tim Burton is coming back even if it is just as a producer. James Bobin (The Muppets Movies) is directing this sequel.

Be ready for another journey to Underland next year as Alice Through the Looking Glass premieres in local cinemas on May 2016 to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

WB and Legendary Officially Launched Godzilla-King Kong Franchise

2015-10-15T16:32:00.001+08:00

Warner Bros. Pictures together with Legendary Entertainment announces a film franchise that will star Godzilla, King of Kaijus and Kong, the Legendary Ape. KONG: SKULL ISLAND is confirmed for a 2017 release while GODZILLA 2 will follow in 2018. And lastly the most anticipated clash will happen with GODZILLA VS. KONG for 2020. Read Warner Bros. Official press release after the jump.

Burbank, CA – October 14, 2015 – Following Legendary’s and Warner Bros. Pictures’ 2014 success with the global reinvention of the Godzilla franchise, the companies have come together to create an epic, new shared cinematic franchise. All-powerful monsters become towering heroes for a new generation, revealing a mythology that brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new. Monarch, the human organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film, will expand their mission across multiple releases.

The announcement that the reinvention of monsters continues was made today by Legendary CEO, Thomas Tull and Kevin Tsujihara, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. The initial trio of films are 2017’s KONG: SKULL ISLAND, GODZILLA 2 in 2018 and then GODZILLA VS. KONG, arriving in theaters in 2020. While Legendary maintains its new home at Universal Pictures, the GODZILLA films remain in partnership with Warner Bros., who will now also distribute KONG as a part of this franchise. Production on KONG: SKULL ISLAND begins October 19th.

Warner Bros. and Legendary released Godzilla in May 2014 with an agreement to release Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018. Both films feature the human Monarch organization. Shortly following Legendary’s pact with NBC Universal, Legendary acquired rights to additional classic characters from Toho’s Godzilla universe, including Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. This paved the way for developing a franchise centered around Monarch and anchored by Godzilla, King Kong, and other famous creatures.

When Legendary announced films centered on Godzilla and Kong, fans all over the world speculated these two characters might one day meet in the same film. Classic Toho monsters including King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, as announced at Comic-Con 2014, may also join the Legendary pantheon of giant monster mayhem going forward.

“Audiences really responded to Godzilla,” stated Tull. “Today, I’m excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I’ve always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we’re pleased to be announcing that and more.”

“Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla,’” said Tsujihara. “It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”

About the Productions

KONG: SKULL ISLAND stars Tom Hiddleston, Sam Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Shea Whigham, and Toby Kebbell. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and written by Max Borenstein, John Gatins, Dan Gilroy, and Derek Connolly, KONG: SKULL ISLAND will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce with Mary Parent. Alex Garcia and Eric McLeod will executive produce. Warner Bros. will distribute the film in 3D and IMAX 3D on March 10, 2017.

History Unfolds: Felix Manalo Movie

2015-10-07T09:47:00.000+08:00

In celebration of the Church of Christ's (Iglesia ni Cristo) Centennial foundation, and in partnership with Viva Entertainment comes a story about a man in search of the truth that led him to a great calling as God's last messenger. This is the story of the Church of Christ, this is the story of Felix Manalo.

Felix Manalo is a sprawling historical epic that traces the origins and growth of The Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) that was officially established here in the Philippines from its humble begginings in 1914 to the present day. It is framed by the life of its first executive Minister, Felix Manalo, from the time of his birth in 1886 until his demise in 1963.

In the movie, Dennis plays the lead role of Ka Felix Manalo, Iglesiani Cristo’s first Executive Minister, while the gorgeous Bela Padilla plays the role of his wife, Ka Honorata.

Dennis and Bela are supported by over a hundred big stars, like Gabby Concepcion, Gladys Reyes, Jacklyn Jose, Snooky Serna, Lorna Tolentino, Richard Yap, Dale Baldillo and more.

“Felix Manalo” was skilfully directed by the multi-award-winning director, Joel C. Lamangan (Filipinas). It was shot for 58 days over a period of eight months with only the best and well-respected names in the local film production scene doing tedious work to ensure world-class quality.

Direk Joel's team includes director of photography Rody Lacap, production designer Edgar Littaua, set design and construction Danny Red, costume designer Joel Marcelo Bilbao, hair and make-up Juvan Bermil, musical director Von de Guzman, sound engineer Albert Michael Idioma, film editor John Wong, visual effects supervisor Adrian Arcega, assistant director Arman Reyes and associate director Julius Alfonso.

The official theme song "Ang Sugo ng Diyos sa mga Huling Araw" is written by Joan E. Solitario and Ryan A. Solitario with the arrangement of Louie Ocampo and performed by the Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo.

“Felix Manalo” is monumental as it traces the beginnings and growth of the church since 1914. It meticulously brings events and locations to life as early as 1886 when Ka Felix was born until his passing in 1963. Church administration promises that everyone including those who are not members of the church will enjoy this movie and it can help to share how this church grew from a very small town in Rizal to a worldwide spiritual phenomenon.

Follow his journey. Felix Manalo officially opens today in almost 300 cinemas nationwide from Viva Entertainment.

BvS: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con Trailer Now Online!!!

2015-07-12T07:49:00.000+08:00

So just in case you are one of those who hit the sack early last night and missed this monumental release from Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Here comes the new trailer for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice with first footage of Wonder Woman. Watch it after the jump.

Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

I'm more of a Marvel guy but this trailer just gave me all the shivers. If this translates perfectly to the final product, I will not be ashamed to say that DC is catching up really fast even with just 2 movies on their Cinematic Universe. Coming in March 26, 2016, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

First Look: Robert Kazinsky as Orgrim Doomhammer from Warcraft Movie

2015-05-19T15:31:00.000+08:00

Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures releases the first look on Orgrim Doomhammer to be played by Robert Kazinksy (Pacific Rim) from the upcoming film adaptation of Warcraft. Se the amazing life-like CGI renders after the jump.

Now I'm definitely in for this movie. I'm not even complaining how many times the movie is being pushed for a later date. If it is for the good of the film then so be it. Take all their time as long as the end product is epic. Coming in 2016 from Universal Pictures to be released locally by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures Philippines.

Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice Artwork Reveals Batman Armour

2015-05-01T13:07:00.000+08:00

After the leakage of the Batman portrait yesterday, now an official Merchandise Artwork companion is released online revealing the first full look of the Batman Armour Ben Affleck is using on that bout with Supes. See the artworks after the jump.

Coming in March 26, 2016, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

First Look: Nightcrawler in X-Men Apocalypse

2015-04-28T01:34:00.000+08:00

The camera just started rolling for the production of the next X-Men Movie, X-Men: Apocalypse. Bryan Singer is more than excited to share things from the set but one stood amongst the other, the first look on Kodi Smit-McPhee as the Mutant Teleporter Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler. See the photo after the jump.

Nightcrawler became an instant hit ever since his debut on the franchise in X2:X-Men United with the actor Alan Cumming. But due to some internal problems, Cumming didn't return in Last Stand and Kurt's lovable character is shelved until they decide to include him once again in X-Men Apocalypse. But of course this is the 80's so Cumming can't play Kurt so instead a younger actor is chosen in Kodi Smit-Mcphee (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes).

I'm so happy with this first reveal. Being one of the most agile X-Men, we expect that Nightcrawler will be getting some awesome fight scenes. That is what makes him an instant favorite back in X2. So I hope we get the same amount of action for him. Let's hope for the best.

Coming in Summer 2016 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed through Warner Bros. Pictures.

UPDATED: First Look: Full Batsuit from Dawn of Justice

2015-04-21T22:10:00.000+08:00

Zack Snyder just dropped the biggest reveal of the week. The reveal is too big that it makes me forgot that Age of Ultron is coming tomorrow in cinemas. So here it is guys. The first look in Ben Affleck's Batsuit for Dawn of Justice.

Also here is the first teaser trailer.

Now that is one hell of a batsuit. In my opinion, it is better than the Nolan Batsuit. Finally, the Batman I know is here. I hope Affleck won't disappoint us on his performance.

Set to open in the Philippines on March 26, 2016, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines.

Update:

First Look on Ben Affleck's Batman frontal portrait. Looking good so far!!!

A Surprisingly Awesome Fantastic Four Trailer Premieres

2015-04-20T09:30:00.000+08:00

I'm one of those people who remains skeptical about Fantastic Four's decision to become a bit edgy both in plot and cast. But surprisingly I'm impressed with the first trailer and it definitely gave me enough reason to see the film. Watch the first full trailer here.

The trailer also introduced Dr. Franklin Richards played by Reg Cathey. Now this actually shed some light how Johnny Storm becomes black, because his father is black. Now how come Sue is white?

Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and Dr. Franklin Storm (Reg Cathey)

Well there could be a lot of possible answer to that. She could probably be adopted, or the unseen (or yet to be introduced) mother is white or my favorite theory that all of this race mixing is a result of mutation, which now gives the potential of connecting Fantastic Four and the X-Men Franchise.

We also got the first look on Doom played by Toby Kebbell. Judging the trailer, looks like he is the one who is left behind. I hope there is more that before he becomes Doom.

Fantastic Four” (3D) opens in the Philippines nationwide on August 6 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Cinematic Heroes First Looks: Thing, Daredevil, Deadpool and Vision

2015-04-10T01:17:00.000+08:00

We've been intrigued how will these heroes finally look like on these upcoming films and Netflix series and finally their respective studio finally revealed a first look on these characters. Fresh from Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox, here comes The Thing from Fantastic Four, Daredevil from the Netflix series, Deadpool from Deadpool, and Vision from the Avengers Age of Ultron.

I know I've been late about Deadpool, but still just in case you missed it. 20th Century Fox releases first Looks of Deadpool and The Thing. I'm not so excited about Deadpool or Fantastic Four but I will lie if I will say I will not see it. And this photos just gave me enough reason to just give them a try. Plus those designs are just spot on.

Now going over the fence to Marvel's own home Marvel Studios/Walt Disney, we are treated with the final costume of Daredevil and one clear look of the Vision. Not a big expert on Daredevil but I think the suit looks nice. Can't wait to see more of that suit specially in action. And that Vision? I guess probably it is the most boring poster of Vision but still we got a closer look of Paul Betany as the android avenger.

How about you, what do you think about their designs. Share your thoughts on the comments section or let's discuss it on my facebook page.

In “Pixels,” when intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (James) has to call on his childhood best friend, ’80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Dinklage and Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist.

The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the original short film of the same name by Patrick Jean. The film is produced by Adam Sandler, Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, and Allen Covert.

This movie is based on a short film created by a French Animator/Director back in 2010 and back then the short already have this dark nature. Behind all those colorful pixels, most of the people already think that the movie will become some kind of a virus infestation rather than an exact Alien Invasion. Not sure how Sony's writers will pull out this Alien plot thingy but I'm concerned that now it is becoming a comedy. And I'm more worried because it is an Adam Sandler brand of comedy. I hope everything works well together. Let us all cross our fingers.

Coming in cinemas in August 2015 from Sony Pictures to be distributed by Columbia Pictures.
