STOLL JOIN PAUL RUDD
We're going sf today, people, starting with fresh news from San Francisco's ComicCon: after yesterday's news that Patrick Wilson has left ANT-MAN, two new stars have joined the superhero film. The film will follow biochemist Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) who uses his latest discovery, a group of subatomic particles, to create a size-altering formula. Though his first self-test goes awry, he develops an instrument that helps him communicate with and control insects. Paul Rudd is Scott Lang or ANT-MAN, and Evangeline Lilly and Corey Stoll are new cast members: Evangeline will play Hank Pym's estranged daughter Hope Van Dyne who is also Lang's love interest (she becomes villainous Red Queen in the
comics), while Corey Stoll will be the villain Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket who has taken over Pym's company! The movie is out next summer!

'THE LAST OF US' GETS
BIG SCREEN ADAPTATION
Over at ComicCom comes the news from Sam Raimi who will adapt video game THE LAST OF US into a movie. GAME OF THRONE's Maisie Williams could take one of the lead roles in the movie which follows Joel, a ruthless survivor with few moral lines left to cross,
who lives in one of the
last remaining Quarantine Zones. These walled-off, oppressive cities are
run by what’s left of the military. Despite the strict martial law,
Joel operates in the black market of the city, smuggling contraband for
the right price.

MAD MAX FURY ROAD
FIRST TRAILER IS HERE!
You can also check out the first look, also from ComicCon, at MAD MAX FURY ROAD which stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult! The movie will follow Max, a man of action 
and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a 
woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Speaking of ComicCon trailers, our tomorrow's post will be up a bit later than usual in order to put HOBBIT teaser in it which will be around 9PM Central European Time, 12PM PT, 3PM ET.

Mad Max movies always have such a savage look to them.
ReplyDeleteSadly ,yes :(
DeleteMad Max, hmmm. Hope there's a decent story to go along with all that CGI and pyrotechnics.
ReplyDeletesince it took like five years to make the film, at least, I hope that was enough time for them to come up with a good story.... Not that the old ones had complex stories
DeleteComicCon certainly has become an important part of Hollywood. It used to be just for a particular subculture, but these movies have exploded the fandom.
ReplyDeleteI'm lousy at video games, so I've never heard of The Last of Us. And it's not one The Spawn has played either.
especially this year, dear. So many unexpected teasers and info this year. But I still don't know why Warner Bros. won't show us HOBBIT and SUPERMAN teasers that were shown at the Con this weekend. I had a HOBBIT post all ready this weekend waiting for the teaser, but they didn't release it for the wider public
DeleteCan't wait for Mad Max and the Last of Us another zombie movie yay! Check out youtube there are some great videos of the game being played but it has all the cut scenes and its very much like watching an animated movie.
ReplyDeletehope they do it good!
DeleteThe Maze Runner looks like a pretty good movie. Maybe I'll try to read the book before I see it.
ReplyDeleteYou've got just enough time till Autumn :)
DeleteI just recently saw Corey Stoll's role as Peter Russo in the first season of House of Cards
ReplyDeletehe's a nice chap
DeleteOoh, lots of goodies today.
ReplyDeletePlus, it looks like they've captured the essence of what Mad Max should be. Hopefully.
I wonder how the Australians will like new Max
DeleteI really wish Mel could have come back for one more crack at Mad Max, but this does look amazing. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteMel is playing the Mad role in real life now :)
DeleteAlthough I lean towards contemporary and historical realistic films, I do appreciate these other genres.
ReplyDeletewe don't usually do tones of superheroes here, but it's ComicCon and they dominate the news from the event
DeleteIs Max a reboot, or a continuation?
ReplyDeleteI only ask because the original Max had a cool dog.
it's a reboot. I'm guessing that guy with the mask is the dog now...
DeleteHA!
DeleteI thought he was making fun of Hardy as Bane in the Batman movie!
or of Hannibal Lecter ....
DeleteThe Maze Runner books were kind of all over the place. When you think they were going in one direction, it completely turned around or the thought process or a particular part of the story was dead ended. I hope they do a better job piecing the movie together.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed. I do not read YA so I wouldn't know.. methinks all YA is pure crap :)
DeleteI never read YA as a kid, but I have read a few lately that I like. James Patterson has a few good YA books that I have enjoyed lately.
DeleteI could read only inspiring and heartwarming ones, never the ones in which kids are put in deadly situations
DeleteOkay... just a very short, well long... HAPPY DANCE!
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd say Happy Evangelina....
Deletethose movies look amazing, maze runner- I am anticpating for that one!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it!
DeleteI loved Evangeline Lilly on Lost. She was the best part of the show, I thought! Good to see she's still doing movies. She'd mentioned at one time she wanted to retire after Lost.
ReplyDeleteshe is kinda gaining a new momentum in her career, methinks
DeleteGreat trailer Mad Max !
ReplyDeleteglad you like it!
DeleteNever even saw Mad Max before.
ReplyDeletesome of them are overly gorry and violent.
DeleteMaze runner looks intriguing, can't wait to watch more.
ReplyDeleteshould be a dynamic one
DeleteThe last of us, YES!
ReplyDeleteThe Maze, Maybe!
MM:Fury Road, NOT IF YOU PAID ME!
