BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Fast & Furious 6 Extended Trailer Is Here

Get behind the wheel everybody, because the full trailer for Fast & Furious 6 is online and it's every bit as dementedly action-packed as we could have hoped for. Prepare, ladies and gentlemen, for vehicular warfare. The story, of course, sees lawman Luke Hobbs ( The Rock ) enlist Dominic Toretto ( Vin Diesel ) and his gang to help him stop a gang of much worse drive-addicted thieves, led by Luke Evans. The carrot? A full pardon for all their own past crimes and a solution to the mystery of why the presumed-dead Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez ) is walking and talking after all. But enough talking! Cue tanks, crashing military vehicles, speeding cars, speeding cars that flip other cars, speeding planes that explode and eject speeding cars and much more. It looks like the action quotient will be as high as the subtext is low - which is how we like it for this franchise.  Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Chris Pratt Lands Lead In Guardians Of The Galaxy

After a long search, Marvel Studios has found its lead for its next big superhero franchise, the James Gunn-directed Guardians Of The Galaxy . I hear the role will go to Chris Pratt , the Moneyball star who bulked up and played one of the hero Navy SEALs in Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty . The role is Star-Lord, the Guardians leader who is the offspring of a human mother and an alien father. A puffier Pratt plays Andy Dwyer on the NBC series Parks And Recreation . He certainly has the charisma to hold the screen. Marvel had made test deals with Zero Dark Thirty‘s Joel Edgerton , Boardwalk Empire‘s Jack Huston , Cloud Atlas‘ Jim Sturgess , Lee Pace (who has roles in both Lincoln and The Hobbit), and Eddie Redmayne from Les Miserables. More recently, Zachary Levi was identified as a candidate. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was pursued, but he has other plans. An August 1, 2014 release date for the pic is planned. Guardians Of The Galaxy first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1969 but

Check out the official US poster for MUD , directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon and Reese Witherspoon ! MUD is an adventure about two boys, Ellis ( Tye Sheridan ) and his friend Neckbone ( Jacob Lofland ), who find a man named Mud ( Matthew McConnaughey ) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Mud describes fantastic scenarios—he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper ( Reese Witherspoon ), who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him. It isn’t long until Mud’s visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow. MUD was an official selection of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Please Leave A Comment-

New Image From The Wolverine

We like to think that when Wolverine gets dressed up, he calls it getting "snikted out". Sadly, we doubt that's the case - but at least he's looking spiffy in this new image from The Wolverine , which shows the adamantium-clawed mutant in atypically respectable form. Also in the new issue of Empire , we spoke to X-producer Hutch Parker, who told us a bit more about the plot. "We pick up Logan in a very isolated state, full of self-loathing. He is sought out by a young Asian woman for reasons he doesn't fully understand, who is asking him to follow her to Japan where he is meant to reconnect with someone from his past. "And what you'll come to find is that this is someone he spent prison-time with in Nagasaki. And the legacy of that experience - effectively Logan saved him - is that this man is on his deathbed, and is looking to give him a gift, to thank him for the life he's had. "But this gift draws Logan into a very complex and ve

Thunderbirds Returning To TV

New Zealand-based Pukeko Pictures and Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop have been tasked with re-inventing the classic puppet children's show Thunderbirds for a fresh generation of TV viewers. The company is teaming with the U.K.'s ITV Studios to co-produce Thunderbirds Are Go! , an update of the classic 1960s cult kids' show. Twenty-six half-hours have been ordered for broadcast on ITV's children's channel CITV in the U.K. in 2015. The original Thunderbirds was created by Gerry Anderson, who died in December last year. Anderson made two seasons of his show, which aired on ITV in the 1960s, before it went on to international syndication. The re-invention will be produced using a unique mix of CGI animation and live-action model sets. Featuring the show's family of heroes, International Rescue, Thunderbirds are Go! will see the five Tracy brothers back on TV screens piloting their Thunderbirds vehicles in rescues across the globe. Thunderbirds are

Johnny Depp Attached To Black Mass

The trouble with some projects lingering in development is that other filmmakers can come along and get their version of the story produced before the other has a chance to see the light of day. Take Ben Affleck and Matt Damon , who have been working up a film about notorious Boston mob man Whitey Bulger for years. Now Johnny Depp is attached to Black Mass , a competing project, which has Barry Levinson set to direct. Mass is adapted from Dick Lehr and Gerald O’Neill’s book, subtitled The True Story Of An Unholy Alliance Between The FBI and The Irish Mob . Mark Mallouk wrote the script, which will track Bulger’s life masterminding a violent gang in Boston while also turning federal informant to take down rivals. But when the FBI began making arrests, agents double crossed Bulger and prosecuted him. He fled in 1994 and was captured in 2011 in California. Levinson, who produced the Depp-starring mob project Donnie Brasco , is set to start shooting in May, with production compa
