5. MONSTER HUNTER ALICIA VIKANDER SCHEDULED FOR THE FREAKSHIFT



Every once in a while, I come across a news item that really feels like it was lost in the shuffle. This week’s top candidate for that distinction is a supernatural monster action movie called Freakshift, and the reason it’s baffling how little attention it got is because recent “It girl” Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl, Jason Bourne) is now in talks to star in the film. This monster hunting actioner will be the next film from director Ben Wheatley, whose career to this point has included genre fare like Kill List and High-Rise, and Freakshift could be his breakout film in the US. If Vikander signs on, she will transition to Freakshift in August after wrapping another ambitious action movie, the reboot of the video game franchise Tomb Raider.

300 Part 3 Release Date 2018

Image
The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes.

'Draft Day' box office: Why can't more football movies make it?

"This is the day when lives change, fates are decided, dynasties born," Berman intones. If you are expecting a plot that deals with locker room harassment and the life-changing effects of concussions, you have come to the wrong place. Berman is not the only real-life figure playing himself: "Draft Day's" cast includes more than two dozen of these folks, including legendary players like Jim Brown and even Commissioner Roger Goodell himself. And the film features enough lovingly burnished in-flight photography of NFL stadiums to occupy a six-person aerial unit, including four pilots. The team names and stadiums may be real in "Draft Day," but the characters who work for them are all fictitious, starting with Costner in his most successful big-screen role since his portrayal of "Devil" Anse Hatfield in TV's feud-centric "Hatfields and McCoys" revived his career. Costner is not the athlete he played in "Bull Durham" and ...

Stephen Colbert replacing Letterman: 5 of his memorable movie guests

Image
Stephen Colbert's "Colbert Report" has never been the most comfortable place for Hollywood stars to promote their movies, given the somewhat niche audience and Colbert's own purposefully bombastic, playfully antagonistic persona. But now that Colbert is stepping up to succeed David Letterman as the host of "The Late Show" in 2015 and dropping his conservative blowhard character, audiences could see a different side of him. Time will tell how Colbert gets along with Hollywood's A-list stars in his new role, and how much of his trademark quirk carries over, but it will certainly be an adjustment both for him and the studios that want their stars on the show. In the meantime, here's a look at how Colbert has handled some memorable movie guests in the past. Darren Aronofsky Colbert regularly welcomes directors on his show, with recent guests including Alexander Payne, Errol Morris and Godfrey Reggio. Last month, Darren Aronofsky stopped by to promote his...
