First up is action movie '3 Days to Kill' starring Kevin Costner and Amber Heard:
I saw this described on a website as potentially being "Kevin Costner's Taken". It does look quite promising, and it's great to see Costner back in a leading role. It was a nice to see Costner return to box office success in 'Man of Steel' earlier this year, and for a man who dominated Hollywood in the early 90s, this could be his opportunity to remodel himself as a born again action hero just like Liam Neeson did. The film also appears to have some comedy moments and it seems like it would be a great "popcorn flick" to watch with your mates.
Next, we have the long awaited 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes':
By contrast this doesn't give too much away, but it certainly gets the heart racing. After laying the groundwork in 2011's prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes, we now pick up on the story 15 years later with humans and apes engaged in all-out war. This sequel is highly anticipated and though we're not sure what it will entail altogether, the menacing sight of Caesar at the head of an ape army and the gravitas tones of Gary Oldman screaming that he needs to speak with him has us counting down the days until its release next year.
Finally we have romantic comedy 'Blended' with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore:
The premise reminds me a little of 'Just Go With It', another Sandler venture, but I'm convinced that if Sandler and Barrymore can recapture some of the chemistry we saw between them in '50 First Dates' then this one will guarantee plenty of laughs. Blended is also due out next year.
As for today's news:
Warner Bros. are said to be interested in casting Joaquim Phoenix in the role of Lex Luthor for their upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie. With 2000's 'Gladiator' Phoenix proved he had the acting chops to take on the role of the lead villain, and this speculation seem to startle anyone in the same way the Batfleck scandal did earlier in the year.
Keeping with superhero movies Marvel are said to be holding talks with Paul Rudd over the casting of the titular character 'Ant-Man' in the forthcoming 2015 movie, directed by Edgar Wright. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's name was also in circulation a few weeks ago, but it now seems Rudd has established himself as front-runner for the role.
And to finish just thought I'd share this video of this guy I came across on Facebook, I think he's pretty talented. Enjoy!
