BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Confirmed: #FrankGrillo Will Star In #BeyondSkyline

Frank Grillo will star in “ Beyond Skyline ,” a spin-off to 2010’s alien invasion adventure, “ Skyline .” Grillo will play a detective who fights to free his son from a terrifying alien warship. O’Donnell said he wrote the role with Grillo in mind, because he wanted someone who could be a “throw-back action hero battling his inner demons while outwardly kicking ass.” The signing comes on the heels of Grillo’s role in the DirecTV mixed martial arts series “ Kingdom ,” as well as roles in box office hits “ The Purge: Anarchy ” and “ Captain America: The Winter Soldier .” “ Kingdom ” has been picked up for 20 additional episodes. The film is currently in pre-production in Indonesia and Singapore and will begin shooting in December.

Iron Man Returns In #CaptainAmerica3

Film to kick off the Civil War storyline from the comicbook miniseries Robert Downey Jr. is on the verge of signing on to “ Captain America 3 ,” a move that would bring the Civil War storyline from Marvel’s comicbooks to the bigscreen and trigger the start of a new phase of movies from Marvel Studios. The actor is in final negotiations to play billionaire Tony Stark in the third installment, which is slated to begin production in the Spring for a May 6, 2016, release. Downey is already set to suit up as Iron Man for next year’s “ The Avengers: Age of Ultron ” and “ The Avengers 3 .” The deal is significant for the Marvel cinematic universe considering the plot will pit Stark against Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, as they feud over the Superhero Registration Act, which forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their identities to the U.S. government and agree to act as a police force for the authorities.

A Third Purge Film Is On It's Way

The original low-budget horror thriller The Purge scored healthy returns at the box office and spawned sequel The Purge: Anarchy . So it’s not that shocking to learn that Anarchy’s own success has itself now led Universal and Blumhouse to kick off development on a third film. Writer/director James DeMonaco , who has overseen both of the movies so far, will be back on duty for the new outing, likely working once again with a thrifty budget in the hopes of scoring big. The Purge films take place in an alternate America where the government has decreed that on one night a year all crime – up to and including murder – will be legal and emergency services will be suspended. The idea is that allowing citizens to loose their violent, vengeful impulses once a year will keep order the rest of the time. There’s also an undercurrent about people targeting the poorer factions of society… Originally focused on one family in a home invasion tale, the franchise then moved to the streets o

The Purge: Anarchy Review: Smart Thriller Elevates This Killfest

The Purge: Anarchy is a smart thrillride that elevates its own game. I've spoken to you several times of the renaissance that's been occurring in horror films: once a place only for slasher and cheap scares, the genre has evolved by returning to the creation of terror and uncertainty as the engines that fuel these new machines. Films like The Conjuring and Sinister are recent examples; but The Purge: Anarchy can now happily align itself to these well-built submissions, generating plenty of terror without necessarily needing to show it. With the ninth anniversary of The Purge - a single evening in which anyone can murder another without going to prison - about to get underway, we learn of three different groups struggling to survive it. Liz (Kiele Sanchez) and Shane (Zach Gilford) become the hunted when their car breaks down on the way home, while mother Tanya (Justina Machado) and daughter Cali (Zoë Soul) are nearly murdered before a grieving father (Frank Grillo)
