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?

 

Cheers!

Gareth Edwards Will Direct Two More Godzilla Movies PLUS A Star Wars Spinoff

With the monster hit of Godzilla, both in critics and box office (which has garnered more than $300 millions world wide on its second week), sequel is more or less a confirmed project. The good news is, Gareth Edwards will continue to helm the directorship for another two Godzilla movies.

 

Not only that, he will be also directing a spin-off movie from Star Wars (from Lucas Film). I am pretty excited about the news and I personally quite like Godzilla and hope that he can outdo himself in his next projects.

Rumored Subtitle of Star Wars VII - The Ancient Fear

While the casts for the upcoming reboot of Star Wars franchise, Star Wars VII has been confirmed (the "oldies" like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew etc.. will meet the "new forces" like Domhnall Gleeson, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver etc..).

 

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU (I meant J. J. Abrams, the director).

 

After the casts, the next thing that comes to our mind is what would the next instalment of Star Wars called? Basing on some insider news, the working title is called THE ANCIENT FEAR.

 

Personally, don't really like the subtitle as it doesn't give me a sense of Star Wars like. What do you think? In any case, this is only the working title and it can be changed anytime.

[News] Sneak Peek Of The Avatar Land at Disneyland

Still remember the Pandora Planet from the monster hit 3D film, Avatar? Soon (ok, not that soon, in a couple of years' time), you can step into the Pandora world and immerse yourself in this beautiful land full of mythical yet beautiful creatures. Just wonder do we need to turn blue to get inside? ;-)

This upcoming Avatar Land will bring the Pandora to life at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Both Avatar's creator James Cameron and Walt Disney's Imagineer Joe Rohde are involved in this monstrous project and it set to wow the audience/fans again and again.

Following is the released statement from DisneyParks along with their promotional sneak peek and concept art:

"From the moment AVATAR was released, people were captivated by the mythical world of Pandora. When we announced that we’d be working with James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment to bring this world to life in our parks, we felt certain that this partnership and combination of talent and imagination would produce an experience unlike any other ever created. 

Our combined team has taken huge steps forward in “imagineering” Pandora as a real place for our guests to see, hear and touch. At the first-ever D23 Expo in Japan, we shared an early glimpse of the plans for AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park and I wanted to share some of these breathtaking images and a short preview of what’s to come with all of you. 

As these concept renderings show in epic scale, in the world of AVATAR guests will encounter awe-inspiring floating mountains and wander through a nighttime jungle of bioluminescent plants that are alive with light and sound. Guests will also discover what it feels like to soar into the sky riding a Banshee." 

Now, keep reading to get into the sneak peek and the video clip.

[New] Iron Man Ride Is Coming To Hong Kong Disneyland

I am pretty sure many of you folks have watched the highly popular Iron Man or The Avengers films, in 3 years time (2016), you can get more up-close and personal with him in the form of amusement ride at Hong Kong Disneyland.

 

As per the news, it will send guests flying alongside Iron Man himself, fighting off bad guys throughout the skies and the streets of Hong Kong. Thus, more localised concept is expected. In fact, I like such movie-turned-ride kind of concept, just like the Transformers ride in Universal Studios Singapore. I am looking forward to it.

 

Keep reading for some concept art of the ride...

 

[News] The fourth Chronicles Of Narnia Is A Confirmed Project Now

Are you a fan of The Chronicles Of Narnia novel or movie adaptation trilogy? If yes, good news for you as the fourth installment is a confirmed project now. If no, well, I guess no harm learning more on what's coming up in the movie scene.

In fact, the movie title is also already confirmed and it is called The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair. Just to recap, the previous trilogy are The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008) and The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader (2010), .

Producer of the upcoming film, Douglas Gresham said in a statement:

“I have a great deal of respect for Mark Gordon’s work and am confident that together we can bring the beauty and magical delight that Narnia engenders in the hearts of those who read the books to the screen in ‘The Silver Chair”, Gresham said. “I am very much looking forward to diving once more into Narnia, this time with Mark Gordon and his team.”

Gordon went on to say that :

“Like many readers, both young and old, I am a huge fan of C.S. Lewis’s beautiful and allegorical world of Narnia. These fantasy stories inspire real-world passion among millions of devoted fans around the world. As we prepare to bring the next book to life, we are humbled and excited to contribute to the outstanding legacy of Narnia.”

The casts have not been finalised yet but I hope it will be a solid adaptation. 

The Chronicles Of Narnia - The Silver Chair

By the way, following is the brief extract from The Silver Chair:

Narnia ... where giants wreak havoc ... where evil weaves a spell ... where enchantment rules.

 

Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends are sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.

Cheers!
