Tyrese Gibson Talks Legion and Luke Cage


Tyrese Gibson Talks Legion and Luke Cage

Tyrese Gibson, talks about his latest movie “Legion.” The film, opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, is about an “out-of-the-way diner” where battle ensues for the survival of the entire race. Interested yet? God sends a “legion” of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Tyrese plays Kyle Williams, an innocent bystander that stops for directions at the wrong time, at the wrong place. He ends up getting sucked into the madness, and ends up fighting for survival.

Tyrese credits having great agents to get him the role in LEGION.
“I give my team love all the time,” he said. “They keep their radars out there for projects like this. Once Paul Bettany signed on to a Sony Screen Gems project, it was like, okay, this is like the heavyweight actor that’s classically trained in all of this stuff and coming off of the Da Vinci Code, it’s like, what’s this project that Paul Bettany has signed on to. Everybody was buzzing about it and then Charles Dutton and then Dennis Quaid. And then that’s when they came at me and I was like, man, that’s just a heck of a cast just in general. Let me see this script because if they signed on, more than likely I’m going to want to sign on. I read the script and it was done.”

In the movie, Tyrese acts alongside Charles Dutton and Dennis Quaid. On his experience with the actors, he said
“I worked with Dennis Quaid before on Flight of the Phoenix, so that felt like a family reunion. I said, ‘Dennis, what is it about me and you and deserts? What the heck is going on there? How do we keep ending up working together in the deserts? This is crazy.’ But Charles Dutton, a lot of people might not know this, but he’s like a historian, that guy. He has dates and times and he has information about all of this stuff. He’s a real historian. You could sit up and talk with him for hours. Honestly, when I end up doing a scene with him on the roof and it felt like a mentoring moment where he was teaching me and making me aware of stuff as a much older figure, that’s the way it felt on the set. I said to Scott, ‘This time you caught a mentoring session on camera.’ So it was a pleasure working with Charles. I definitely want to do another one with him because I learned a lot. I was a student.”

In the past, Tyrese has mentioned being interested in a role that Marvel was developing, named Luke Cage. He said that he is definitely still interested in playing the part.
“I will absolutely play the role of Luke Cage when that opportunity presents itself. I will take that in a heartbeat. It’s in development hell right now. It’s one of the most famous black superheroes out there. It’s a lot of pressure to get that script right in particular. Especially with all of the stuff going on with Disney buying Marvel and all of this, it’s in development hell. But I’m excited about the possibilities. I would love to help bring that to life in a heartbeat.”

Many people do not know that Tyrese has a comic book called “Mayhem.
” About the hero, he says that “he’s a very strong black superhero. I’m really proud of the momentum and the energy behind this comic book creation. I went to Comic-Con when I was out there promoting Death Race with Jason Statham. That energy out there was so infectious. I was like I have to figure out a way to be a part of this world and try my best to contribute to this world. So me and my partner got together, we went through some images of some really strong comic book characters and here we are, we sold at least 40-some thousand comic books with the combination of all three series.”

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
