FIRST 'DARK TOWER' TRAILER
SETS IDRIS ELBA AGAINST MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
Your second movie treat for today is the long awaited first trailer for Stephen King's latest adaptation THE DARK TOWER, a Ron Howard produced science fiction film highly stylized epic adventure, which should finally arrive into theatres across the world after many years of problematic production at the beginning of August!
ELUSIVE DARK TOWER
The story of the movie actually continues the one from the books
rather than directly adapting one of them, and follows Idris Elba's
The
Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, who roams an Old West like and post
apocalyptic landscape where "the world has moved on" in pursuit of the
man in black played by Matthew McConaughey. Also searching for the
fabled and powerful Dark Tower, in the hopes that reaching it will
preserve his dying world.
Located in the End World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark
Tower is a link to other worlds and a bridge in the time space
continuum. The studio is envisioning this as a movie trilogy with two
seasons of a TV series in between the films. 
Going to have to check out Murder on the Orient Express. Also, my hubby has been waiting (not so patiently) for that trailer to finally come out. He waited even longer for the darn book series to finally be completed. We even read the last book together. Looking forward to the movie.
ReplyDeletehope we get Orient Express trailer soon too! Dark Tower one came unusually late for a big movie, just two or three months before the premiere.
DeleteWhat a star-studded cast for Orient Express! It will be such a treat to watch these lions of the theatre and movies go through their paces!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope Dame Judi and Sir Derek have some scenes together in it!
DeleteI liked the Dark Tower trailer. Hopefully the movie is actually good.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed! Although it does seem like the studio wasn't satisfied with the product for a long time
DeleteI like KB, so I would be interested but I don't like Depp anymore.
ReplyDeleteI never actually liked him, he always seemed like a smelly drunkard to me :)
DeleteOhh, I never got that from him. But if I saw a character like that, I would not enjoy him or her, either.
DeleteMurder on the Orient Express does have such an amazing cast. I'll be patiently awaiting the trailer.
ReplyDeleteI do love train movies, and have had my share of train horrors as well!
DeleteI imagine you have. Any form of public transportation give me the heeby jeebies!
Deletelast time I travelled to Belgrade by bus, it was me and about 50 asylym seekers from Syria in it! The driver told them to sit in the back and the rest of us in front, like in the era of racism in USA.
DeleteNow I have Outkast's Rosa Parks song stuck in my head. Did they tell them not to use the public bathrooms or drink from the fountains too? Geesh!
Deleteadmittedly, they do bring crime with them. Ever since they arrive in our, generally peaceful town, we had a number of cases where they tried to rape or kill people. Even tried to rape a little girl here :(
DeleteOh no! That's terrible and very frightening! We haven't received any in my area that I've heard of and I haven't heard of anyone having any issues with the refugees in other parts of the country. Then again, we have our own mess of thugs right here in my own city, so maybe we did get some and they are just contributing to the crime that's already running rampant in my neck of the woods. Our mayor is more focused on making the town look pretty, blowing money on stupid river walk lights and building overly expensive condos to try to draw in new residents instead of putting the money towards more police presence in the bad part of town and fixing our terribly broken school system. Honestly, I would not see my city as a hot commodity with luxury condos and swanky downtown when we have homeless begging on damn near every corner, thugs killing each other every other day, and a school system that is barely functioning. Of course, he wants to open the flood gates and just let anybody in without proper vetting, even going so far as to issuing city i.d. cards to anyone who can't "legally" get an identification card through proper channels. I have a feeling he's trying to make our city a sanctuary city, which I am totally against. Of course, we welcome properly vetted refugees (who aren't trying to kill us or rape our children) with open arms, but to encourage the thugs to come and line the streets? No thank you.
Deletewe are the very gate to Europe, so all of those millions that went to Europe have passed through my city as well, and thousands have remained still because Hungary has build up walls around their border.
DeleteWhat a casting for the MURDER ON ORIENT EXPRESS...most impressive!
ReplyDeleteJudi rules them all
DeleteDark Tower looks promising. Like the cast and director. Woo!
ReplyDeleteglad to see you excited
DeleteI saw the trailer for Dark Tower yesterday. Looks good. And Lady Densch should be fab!
ReplyDeleteI published it yesterday myself :) We all bow to dame Judi and sir Jacobi, I wish they were my first neighbours or grandparents...
