BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Hitman Reboot Starring Paul Walker

Fox International Productions is rebooting Hitman , the live action film adaptation of the hit Square Enix video game. They’ve set The Fast And The Furious‘s Paul Walker to star in Agent 47 , an action film that was written by A Good Day To Die Hard‘s Skip Woods and Michael Finch and will be directed by Aleksander Bach, a highly regarded commercials director making his feature helming debut. This gives a new start to Hitman , which was turned into a 2007 film that starred Timothy Olyphant as the genetically engineered elite assassin with the barcode tattooed on the back of his head. Woods wrote that movie, which wasn’t a rave with the critics, but grossed $100 million worldwide. The new film, with Walker playing the lethal protagonist, will shoot in Berlin and Singapore this summer after Walker completes a global press tour for Fast And Furious 6. Walker will shave his head and make this his first big film after Fast 6, whose trailer has been generating 20,000 tweets an hour sin

Star Wars Stand Alone Film In The Works

"Yoda: Jedi Master" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Or maybe just " The Jedi Master ." Well, before it can have a title, it has to actually exist, and for now a stand-alone "Star Wars" film that puts the powerful pint-sized denizen of Dagobah front and center is just the latest rumor to come out of a galaxy far, far away (well, not that far anymore -- it's now at Disneyland, after all). Ain't It Cool News first brought word that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy might be doing a lot more than just having secret meetings with J.J. Abrams as she's apparently in the early stages of what Disney does best: milking a brand for all it's worth. Sure, Abrams is going to be directing " Episode VII ," but there's more than just a new "Star Wars" trilogy in store -- we're going to be getting a bunch of spinoff films as well, and if Zack Snyder's rumored (and since denied) Jedi-centric riff on " S

Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again. See all the images after the Jump...  Please Leave A Comment- Sour

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

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
