Ant-Man to Fall to Third

Ant-Man to fall to third in its second weekend. The latest installment in the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe had a good debut, but it was “low” for Marvel standards at $57.2 million.

“The media expects a lot, maybe too much, from Marvel movies,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “This is not a B-list character. It’s barely even a C-list one. It’s a comicbook that hardly anybody collected.”

Ant-Man - The Super Hero Movie

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man."

"Ant-Man" doesn't have the same superhero appeal as Captain America, Iron Man, or Thor.

He's not as big, or strong, or super powered. But as the star of his first standalone film, people might soon look to Ant-Man as their favorite Avenger.

Much as in “Iron Man,” the scientist, Dr. Hank Pym, has a rivalry with a more diabolical tech genius (Corey Stoll) who is on the verge of duplicating the shrink-suit but plans to use it for world domination via a different insect: He’s Yellow jacket-Man. Someone needs to open up a can of whoop-ass on this guy, or at least a can of Raid.

First Look: X-Men: Apocalypse

The end is pretty much always nigh in the X-Men universe, but next year our superheroes will truly face the Apocalypse — that is, a 5,000-year-old mutant who goes by the name Apocalypse, played by Oscar Isaac.

As a second bonus, we have some first-look photos for X-Men: Apocalypse, which reveal the official designs and costume of the titular villain, Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) – as well as iconic X-Men ladies Storm (Alexandra Shipp) and Psylocke (Olivia Munn).

Fox has released the first official images of the young mutants debuting in X-Men: Apocalypse

Chris Pratt Wanted As New Indiana Jones

Before we go any further, we must caution you that this is strictly a rumour, and nothing concrete has been dug up yet. In fact, just by considering the idea, we may all be under threat from a giant boulder. Still: Deadline is reporting that Disney, fresh from bringing the original flavour Han Solo back for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is now looking to put someone else in the trademark battered fedora as Indiana Jones. That someone – and don’t say you didn’t see this coming – is Chris Pratt.

The man who many compared to Solo in Guardians Of The Galaxy and, from what we’ve seen of the film so far, invokes some thoughts of Doctor Henry Jones Jr. in Jurassic World, is apparently the Mouse House’s choice to succeed Harrison Ford in the iconic role. The company bought the rights to make and distribute any new Indy adventure from Paramount shortly after it closed the big Lucasfilm deal in 2013. Back then, there were rumours that Ford might return for a fifth (wait, there was a fourth?) instalment of the franchise. Now, though, while it’s very, very early days for the idea, and there's no news on whether Indy overlords Steven Spielberg and George Lucas would be invoolved this time, Disney is reportedly pondering someone new, and Pratt fits the bill nicely. He’s a much better known name these days and has proved he can carry off the much-needed blend of self-deprecation and derring-do required for the character. Naturally, any deal will have to take into consideration his busy schedule: he’ll be out and about promoting Jurassic World this summer, is gearing up to shoot the Magnificent Seven remake with Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua and is committed to return as Peter Quill for the next Guardians Of The Galaxy, already scheduled for an April 28, 2017 release here.

Kill Bill 3 ?

Kill Bill is an American two-part action/thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill was originally scheduled for a single theatrical release, but with a running time of over four hours, it was separated into two movies: Kill Bill Volume 1, released in late 2003, and Kill Bill Volume 2, released in early 2004.

Kill Bill is often noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, anime, girls with guns, and rape and revenge films.

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill franchise is just like its own heroine, it's not yet dead. The supposed to be 4-hour-long movie was then cut into two parts; the first one was released in October 10, 2003 and the second half in April 16, 2004 with over $330 million box-office. So, what's more to come?

A third installment was planned this year to be possibly released in 2015, despite Tarantino's comment saying that there might not be a sequel for the movie. Though the third installment title has been publicly released as "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair", the story plot has yet to be announced. In fact, Tarantino said that the he and the Weinstein Company had already met to finalize the film.

Still, the fans might come up with a possible plot continuing The Bride's (Uma Thurman) vengeance to her ex-colleagues who attempted to massacre almost everybody during her own wedding party. Her journey of revenge over multiple characters including Lucy Liu (as O-Ren Ishii) and the search for Bill (David Carradine) with her shock over finding out her daughter, whom she thought was dead, is alive. Followed by an intense interrogation between Beatrix (The Bride) and Bill, filled martial arts scenes until the bride herself wins and takes her daughter back, which was then the end for Kill Bill Volume 2. The question is what could possibly follow after that? Are the characters going to be the same?

 Well, one thing is for sure, the movie will be filled with amazing martial arts, stunts and guns. Also, Tarantino will be there to work on it.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2

 

In a major vote of confidence for director James Gunn and his motley crew, Marvel chose the closing moments of Saturday’s Hall H Comic-Con panel to cheekily announce a sequel is on the way in 2017. Relayed in typically informal fashion by Gunn and Chris “Star Lord” Pratt, the news took the form of a video in which the two men joke about blowing the lid on a GOTG 2 release date. This was revealed to be Jul 27th.

It’s certainly going to generate more buzz for a movie with stronger advance word than a cupcake baked by Nigella Lawson. We’ll bring you all the news on the development of the project as it flies in accompanied by a gun-toting raccoon.

Malayalam titles for Mollywood Movies

Now the new generation flicks have to disappear from the scene as the panel headed by eminent filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan has recommended Kerala government to make titles in the mother tongue mandatory for getting subsidies.

The committee, set up to study the problems faced by the industry and provide suggestions to revamp the Malayalam Film Industry. Director Shaji N. Karun, producer Suresh Kumar and former minister Pandalam Sudhakaran were the members of the panel. They observed that it has become a 'fashion' among many filmmakers to opt for English titles. The trend would affect the prestigious status of Malayalam, which had been awarded classical language status recently and create an aversion among youth about the mother tongue.

Majority of the about 80 movies released in the last six months including some blockbusters, had English titles, Pandalam Sudhakaran said. In some states, including Tamil Nadu, it was mandatory to have titles in their regional language to get subsidy. The committee also suggested to enhance the subsidies for quality moviesls.
