HENRY CAVILL JOINS MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6 (AND PREPARES FOR DC’S MAN OF STEEL SEQUEL)



It’s hardly breaking news, but it’s worth noting that some of Hollywood’s (and, by extension, America’s) biggest movie stars, dating all the way back to the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Cary Grant, are actually, you know, British. Henry Cavill, who plays one of the pop culture icons that most represents “truth, justice and the American way” in movies, is among them, and his Hollywood presence expanded even more this week with the news that he will join the Mission: Impossible ensemble for the franchise’s sixth outing (alongside Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner, all expected to return). Cavill has played Superman in two movies thus far (Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), and is expected to reprise the role in Justice League (ixnay on “spoilers” for last year’s movie!). Yes, both Man of Steel (55 percent) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (27 percent) have Rotten Tomatometer scores, but this week’s other news is the potential silver lining that might turn Superman’s Tomatometer scores around someday. That’s because it was reported that Warner Bros’ top choice to direct the Man of Steel sequel is Matthew Vaughn, the British former producing associate of Guy Ritchie who made his directorial debut with Layer Cake before helming three Fresh comic book adaptations: Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, and 2015’s Kingsman: The Secret Service. Of course, we should note that this doesn’t mean Vaughn will direct the Man of Steel sequel, but even the idea suggests that Warner Bros might be considering a thematic shift away from the darker, Nolan-influenced movies that Zack Snyder has been directing and producing. (A fan can hope, anyway.) Matthew Vaughn also dropped an odd hint on Instagram this week, saying that he is on a mission to get “bigger than Green Lantern,” inspiring writers and fans alike to wonder if this means Green Lantern himself might appear in the Man of Steel sequel.

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. After 2 parts of this movie franchise, audience is waiting f

Stranger Things: M. Night Shyamalan Wants To Direct In Season 2

Well  here's  a plot twist we weren't expecting — though maybe we should have been:  M. Night Shyamalan  — whose new film,  Split , is getting some of his best reviews since  The Sixth Sense  — has expressed an interest in directing episodes of  Stranger Things ' second season. The reason we shouldn't be surprised is that the Duffer Brothers, creators and guiding force of the Netflix series, used to work  for  Shyamalan on the television series  Wayward Pines , which represented their first TV work. While promoting  Split , Shyamalan commented, "My boys who do  Stranger Things , they did  Wayward Pines  for me. They were round my house and I was, like, 'Well, you can hire me back, guys.'" No word on what the Duffers have to say in response. The series is expected to return later this year and will reportedly consist of nine episodes, compared to season one's eight. Elsewhere on the  Stranger Things  news front, Millie Bobby Brown, who pla
