HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
More superhero news today as well! I told you yesterday that the official title for the sequel of last year's blockbuster will be CAPTAIN AMERICAN: THE WINTER SOLDIER, and a new update says that rising star Anthony Mackie (you can currently watch him in ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER) will join Chris Evans in
it. According to "MovieWeb" he will play Sam Wilson, a.k.a. The Falcon. He was first introduced in 1969, and is one of the first African American superheroes. His power comes from a suit that gives him super strength and allows him to fly, along with the telepathic ability to communicate with birds. The new title also hints that Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes will be brought back to life as The Winter Soldier.
GRABBERS TRAILER
Your second trailer for today is for a delightful and slightly crazy Irish comedy GRABBERS which hits cinemas over at Ireland this August and has two famous British stars Russell Tovey (from BEING HUMAN) and always brilliant and hilarious Richard Coyle (COUPLING) in the lead roles. This rather unusual, but highly original,
film is a mix of comedy, action and science fiction. The story is set on an island off the coast of Ireland which, for reasons unknown, gets invaded by horrid bloodsucking aliens, after which the heroes of the story discover that getting drunk is the only way to survive.
I knew Bucky would come back. His shock death and crappy fall was all but convicing. I hope Halye Atwell comes back as Sharon Carter
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see Sebastian Stan again too. Haylee not so much, never liked her, but I know that most guys do... for certain reasons :)
DeleteThe Day looks very scary. Kind of like a deeper look at one of the more disturbing scenes in McCarthy's The Road.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a big fan of Russell Tovey after seeing him in Being Human, but I'm not sure Grabbers, uh, grabbed me. :PP
we do love Russell, don't we? Don't know how could anybody not love him :)
Deletekind of happy for the captain 2 film, i felt the first was a great american super hero film... i am not sure about falcon though, i sort of remember his character but i though he was dc comics.
ReplyDeletecan't help you on the Falcon history, Zombie, not a huge fan of superheroes, but Antonie would be a nice addition to any film, methinks
DeleteGrabbers is perfect! It's funny that they don't attack drunks and they happen to attack Ireland, fancy that!
ReplyDeletethat's alien irony :)
DeleteI'm really lovin' that banner you've got up there, Dez :)
ReplyDeleteit's lovely isn't it? :) But since it has been there for almost a week now, I will soon replace it with something equally epic :)
DeleteSeems legit
ReplyDeletetotally
DeleteHmmm so the leader in The Day, great title, I wonder how many marking execs it took to come up with that one haha, is Rick hmm big walking dead wannabe maybe? Drunk to stop the aliens, hey I'll turn to alcohol if it stops the probe haha
ReplyDeleteI have a strange feeling our dear Annzie was the mentor of that alien repelling method :))))
Deleteand yes, I was also stunned with the originality of the film's title :)
DeleteThe Day trailer looks scary and dark..yikes ~
ReplyDeleteThe second trailer was drunkenly funny ~
it was funny, wasn't it :)))
DeleteThe Day looks a bit too blood thirsty for me, but Grabbers looks like fun.
ReplyDeletetotal fun, Lyndy!
DeleteThe preview for The Day rocks!!! That is my kind of movie although I know it's not quite yours.
ReplyDeleteGrabbers puts a whole new twist on things...love the idea!
I'll probably watch it, Elsie, since I do love me a lot apocalyptic movies.
DeleteThe Falcon?? Holllaaaaa!!! I love all these Marvel movies that they keep putting out. They all make me smile :) :)
ReplyDeleteAnthony will make a great Falcon, won't he? Just imagine him in tight spandex.....
DeleteOh, oh!! I likeeeee!!!!
DeleteLove the look of The Day, I'll be checking it out for sure.
ReplyDeleteCould not care less about Captain 2. I loathed the first as it had more cheese than the state of Wisconsin.
I must admit, Melsy, that I still haven't seen the film. I do adore Chrissy Evans, but there's no way I'm gonna watch a film about a hero named America....
Delete"An island off the coast of Ireland which, for reasons unknown, gets invaded by horrid bloodsucking aliens, after which the heroes of the story discover that getting drunk is the only way to survive. " Anyone else detect a political analogy in this movie, LOL?
ReplyDeleteI did detect it, Debs, that's why I put it :) It's the satire on the British invasion of holy Irish territories :(
Delete'The Day" reminds me of the premise for the HBO series, "The Walking Dead." Still, I'll be checking it out come August.
ReplyDelete"The Grabbers?" Not so much.
Have you seen "Bernie" with Jack Black yet? I can't find it anywhere here in Manila.
that would be AMC show, not HBO, Jerry :) Yes, even the visual style is similar to the show, the colours....
DeleteI haven't, Jerry, I don't do Jack Black...
Woot. Can't wait for the new Captain America movie.
ReplyDeleteyou will wait for about two years :)
DeleteBOOOOO! You mention Captain America and Chris Evans and don't show me some bare-chested Chris Evans?! BOOOO! I say. BOOOO!
ReplyDelete*Throws tomatoes and storms out of here.
booo indeed, booo on me, go to Google Image Search and write in HOLLYWOOD SPY CHRIS EVANS and you will get your daily dose of hotness, and I don't mean just Chrissilicous hotness....
DeleteDamn. It's like a Chris Evans shrine. I approve Dezzy. Now send me a completely nude one. I wanna see what he's got under the trunk.
ReplyDeleteand me is the high priest of it :)
DeleteI've just sent you a nude Chris Evans in a Tweet over at Twitter :)
The Day is in a genre that I like. Looks like a cross between the original Night of the Living Dead and The Road. Hope it's not overly derivative. Looks like it could be disappointing.

yes, it does look a bit cheap... but I think it is frightening enough to watch :)
