Pacific Rim 2 Is A CONFIRMED Project (Apr 2017)

Personally, I like last year's MEGA blockbuster (even though the box office in US is not as mega but the international box offices are piercing hot) from Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim.  The good news is, the sequel is a confirmed project now, as announced by the director himself.

 

He will be working together with Zak Penn (screenwriter) on the sequel and is expected to be released on 7th April 2017.  The other piece of good news is that he is also working on an animated series for the franchise.

 

Can't wait for the sequel!

 

Still not convinced? Check out the video clip below to see for yourself on how Guillermo del Toro said it:

Predator Reboot Will Be Directed By Shane Black

20th Century Fox has officially confirmed that the Iron Man 3 director, Shane Black will helm the directorship of the reboot of predator. Oh, he will be the writer too. Black also directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and wrote the Lethal Weapon movies and Monster Squad.

 

If you still remember, the last reboot of predator is in 2010 by Robert Rodriguez and its called Predators (not an innovative name though). The movie is so-so only and I hope Black can successfully bring back the raw fear/excitement that tormented the movie-goers (me included) when it was first screened in 1987.

 

Shane Black - to direct Predator reboot

 

Are you excited about this upcoming reboot project?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - New Trailer Plus 3 New Character Posters (Aug 2014)

As expected, since my sharing of the new character poster of Leonardo (click here to view), here come even more character posters plus a cool new trailer.

 

Produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans), this reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set to repaint how the turtles (or the ninjas, whatever) looks like, facially!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be released on 8th August 2014 in 3D and following is the short synopsis (source : GeekTyrant.com):

 

The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan. 

 

Now, check out the new trailer and character posters below:

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - New Character Poster of Leonardo (Aug 2014)

When the first trailer was released sometime back, many fans are criticising the "ugly" version of Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I can understand why. It just don't have the cuteness that the ninjas used to have.

 

Recently, Paramount Pictures has released a new character poster featuring Leonardo (leader of the Ninja Turtles and voiced by Johnny Knoxville) and to be frank, it doesn't make it any cuter! ;-)

 

The reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be released in the big screens on 8th August 2014 and following is the short synopsis (source : Geektyrant.com) :

 

The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes - Awesome Final Trailer (Jul 2014)

In less than one month time, human being will be facing with the fierce apes for the final face-off in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

 

Fox has since released the final trailer which looks stunning and awesome. There are plenty of new footage (too much for my liking) and we can deduced that there are "villains" in both the human and apes gang.

 

I like the reboot in 2011, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and am looking forward to the sequel, which will be released on 11st July in IMAX 3D.

Following is the short synopsis of the movie (source : GeekTyrant) :

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier.  They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

 

Now, enjoy the trailer below :
