COLD IN JULY Opening in Cinemas this Friday 27/06/14

IN CINEMAS ON 27 JUNE 2014
 
Starring:
Michael C. Hall, Don Johnson, Sam Shepard, Vinessa Shaw
 
Directed by:
Jim Mickle
Set in Texas in the late 1980s, Jim Mickle’s gripping noir thriller COLD IN JULY features a distinguished cast including Don Johnson, Sam Shepard, and Michael C. Hall in his breakout film role. COLD IN JULY is set for release across the UK on 27th June through Icon Film Distribution.  

How can a split-second decision change your life? While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of low-life burglar Freddy Russell. Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father, Ben, rolls into town, hell-bent on revenge.
 
Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled badasses portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Directed with an excellent eye for the visual poetry of noir, this pulpy, southern-fried mystery is a throwback to an older breed of action film, one where every punch and shotgun blast opens up both physical and spiritual wounds. Twists and turns accelerate as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a gore-soaked dead end. COLD IN JULY is as muggy, oppressive, and hard to shake as an east Texas summer.

Thanos has been cast and it may be a bit of a surprise!

Well I certainly didn't see this coming. 

News has dropped that Josh Brolin is to play the Mad Titan Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, and presumably the next instalments of the Avengers films. Latino Review broke the news that Brolin has been officially cast in the role of Thanos. According to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, the role has been cast for a while but they weren't ready to announce it until now.

Since the release of the Phase One films, Marvel has teased the Infinity Gauntlet storyline for quite some time now. With hidden easter eggs pointing towards the five Gems that make up the Infinity Gauntlet (an insanely powerful glove that Thanos uses in the comics). 
Picture
Thanos’s next appearance will be in this summers major blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy. Although he is not the main antagonist in this film, It is likely he might be in another post credits scene to set up the events of the Avengers: Age of Ultron. But until we see the film, its to hard to tell what sort of role Thanos will actually have.

Guardians of the Galaxy is released  in Cinemas around the UK on the first of August this Summer. 


We will bring more news on the film in the coming weeks but from the shot below you can tell the Guardians will be an interesting introduction into the Marvel universe.

Ant Man's Edgar Wright to step down?

To find out more about Ant Man comics click the image above.
Strange turn of events from Marvel this evening. 

It would appear Edgar Wright has stepped down as director from the long running development of Ant-Man, one of Marvels Phase 3 films. Variety reports that Marvel does have another director in the pipeline, but aren’t  saying who at this moment in time. 

What seems strange about this development is that Wright has been attached to this project since it was announced back in 2006 and even showed test footage to an audience at Comic-Con in 2012.

In a statement given by the now former director, Wright and the studio split up “Due to differences in their vision of the film.”

It’s interesting to see what will happen now with this surprising news. But as there hasn't officially been any footage, its hard to say what can be expected from the film.

Ant-Man is currently slated for a July 2015 release.

Chris casts his eye as Batman V Superman gets a full title

Hot off the press today from Warner Bros, big news has dropped that Batman vs Superman now has an official title. 

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This new comes just days after Warner Bros released the first official image from the set, showing (finally!) an image of Ben Affleck as Batman standing in front of the new Bat-mobile. 

With the release of the film still a fair bit away however I can't help but feel this news, along with the other various casting announcements has been released far too early. 

Looks like its back to reading comics for the mean time. I’m sure we will see a trailer soon. Right……?

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is released in theatres on May 6th 2016 and supports a cast of familiar faces such as Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane reprising their original roles from Man Of Steel along with new ones such as Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

While we’re on the subject, Rocksteady released the first gameplay trailer for Arkham Knight today also. Boy does it look pretty! 

see for yourself
