Young Han Solo Movie Grabs ‘Fleabag’ Starlet Phoebe Waller-Bridge

You should watch Fleabag. If you watched it already, perhaps consider watching it again. Above all else, the Amazon/BBC Three dark dramedy gives show creator/lead actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge a tremendous calling card, which she’s already ready to cash. The British actress/writer joins Phil Lord & Chris Miller’s currently-filming, still-untitled young Han Solo movie. She’s set to play a key, undisclosed performance-capture character.

Variety (via EW) broke the casting news. It’s unclear how exactly she’ll factor inside the film, but comparisons towards Maz Kanata, Chewbacca, C-3PO and, most recently, Rogue One‘s K-2SO were made regarding the mysterious new character. Waller-Bridge joins fellow cast members Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke and Woody Harrelson.

Waller-Bridge is also known for Broadchurch, Drifters and Crashing, in addition to Fleabag. The latter show, however, is how she’s known best in the United States and abroad. She’s an excellent screen presence with a dynamic range and a variety of facial expressions. It’s exciting to see her play such a prominent role in this much-anticipated prequel. Here’s hoping it’s just one of many that’ll soon come her way as she climbs up that mountain.

We’ll have to wait to see how sparkling red lipstick enters into a galaxy far, far away. For now, however, catch up on Fleabag before this new Han Solo movie comes out next year.

IGN caught up with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn, where he commented on Baby Groot’s role in the film.

First, Gunn talked about the character’s difference from the original Guardians of the Galaxy.

“I think he’s a better written character then the first Groot in some ways,” Gunn said. “He’s just more complete character.”

Then, he briefly discussed how “stupid” Baby Groot is.

“He’s a little jerk. He can kick some a–. He’s also an idiot. He’s a baby. He’s not very smart. So, he’s stupid.”

Now, lastly, Gunn elaborated on why he made the choice to keep Groot a baby.

“When I first started thinking about it, when I was jotting down ideas, I thought Groot was maybe going to be an adult,” said Gunn. “And I thought ‘God, what if I just make Groot a baby for the whole movie. Like he’s a baby.’ And I think that just felt right.”

What are your thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? Do you think Baby Groot will be a compelling character? Let us know in the comments below.

Unfortunately, it looks like Vincent D’Onofrio won’t appear in this year’s Punisher Netflix series.

A Twitter user by the name of Sal Marra asked about the character appearing in the show, and here was D’Onofrio’s response.

Nope not a chance. No plans. Zero https://t.co/MC5oqdKekk

“Nope not a chance. No plans. Zero”

The Punisher is set to hit Netflix at some point in the year. Iron Fist launches in March and The Defenders debut on the streaming service in summer, so following Marvel’s track record, The Punisher will likely be released in the Fall.

Despite the fact that D’Onofrio denied the character’s appearance in The Punisher, do you think there’s still a chance for a cameo? Does this piece of news lower your expectations for the show? Comment below!

‘Netflix’ Invites You To ‘Castlevania’

February 8, 2017

Netflix has truly been friendly to the geek community. On top of the plethora of Marvel Cinematic TV Series they have produced, the company also launched original animated features such as Voltron: Legendary Defender which easily found an audience. Now, they has a new idea in mind. They will soon release an original animated series based on the video game franchise Castlevania.

The Castlevania series revolves around the the story of Dracula and his generation long fight against the vampire hunting family known as the Belmonts. This will not be the first time the series has been animated. The titular character Simon Belmont was featured prominently in the late 80s cartoon, Captain N: The Game Master. Unfortunately, a lot of fans would prefer to forget this incarnation of the character, even more than they would the less impressive installments of the franchise.

Previously, rumors circulated Netflix had been in talks to create a live action series based on the Legend of Zelda franchise but sadly these speculations turns out to be dismissed. Hopefully, this series will be met with some amount of praise as Nintendo could stand to have more of its properties be turned into movies or TV series. The company just seems to not be able to let go of a certain film from the 90s. You know, the one which had two guys from Brooklyn trying to save a princess. Yes, its The Super Mario Bros. movie. A film which still garnishes a 15% on Rottentomatoes.com and has been a haunting memory every time Nintendo even tries to think about making another live action version of any of their products. Come on Nintendo, its not like video game movie adaptations have been mostly bad or anything. What’s there to be afraid of?

Are you excited about Netflix’s new Castlevania series? Leave a comment below and let us know.

‘DragonBall’ and ‘Sailor Moon’ Named The Olympic Anime Ambassadors

February 8, 2017

The 2020 Olympics are scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan. To honor the event, the official Olympic YouTube video announced a special group of Ambassadors for the event. Although the country will also create a forgettable mascot (does anyone remember Izzyor Wenlock) many different anime characters have joined forces to help to get the country excited about the event.

The team includes Astro Boy, Son Goku (Dragonball Z/Super), Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece), Sailor Moon, Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto), Jibanyan (Yo-kai Watch), Shin Nohara (Crayon Shin-chan) and Cure Magical and Cure Miracle (Maho Girls Pretty Cure). The group will be appearing on different merchandise in an effort to help promote the event.

The team seems built around bringing recognizable characters together to help with the promotion. Son Goku, Naruto, and Luffy are the main characters of the three biggest animes series in media’s history. The female demographic is represented by Sailor Moon, one of the most recognized anime characters in the world and Cure Miracle and Cure Magical, from 13th Pretty Cure series which has been the definitive magical girl series for years. Astro Boy, the oldest character in the group helps to represent the heritage of the media. While Shin has risen to be a culture icon in the country which easily explains how made the team.

The real surprise to come from this announcement is the last spot being covered by a character from the Yo-kai Watch series. Many would think Pikachu from the Pokemon franchise would have made the cut. This could be viewed as more evident of the shifting popularity between the two series. Sorry, Pikachu. You just didn’t qualify.

Are you happy with these anime ambassadors for the Olympics? Which character do you think should have been part of the team? Leave a comment below and let us know.

‘Teen Titans’ Face The ‘Judas Contract’

Titans Together! The team is set to reunite in an effort to take on their greatest foe: one of their own. A new animated film will soon be released chronicling one of the most infamous story lines of the Titans publication history. In the film, the Titans work to take down Brother Blood and the H.I.V.E., they soon find they are being targeted by Deathstroke and he’s not working alone and is getting help from someone on the inside.

The new film is set in the new animated DC Universe which is based on the characters from their New 52 origins but still remain faithful to the characters origins. The cast includes Stuart Allan (Robin), Brandon Soo Hoo (Beast Boy), Sean Maher (Nightwing), Jake T. Austin (Blue Bettle, Kari Wahlgren (Starfire), Taissa Farmiga (Raven), Christina Ricci (Terra) and Gregg Henry (Brother Blood). The film will also be the last performance of Miguel Ferrer (Deathstroke) after his death from cancer earlier this year.

Saying this production took a long time is an understatement. The Judas Contract was originally supposed to be the third DC animated movie to be released in the continuous stream of films the Warner Brothers Animation has produced. Details of it were released back in 2006. Many fans had given up hope they would ever get a chance to see the movie ever get made. For those who did wait, they may not even be as excited as it will follow the new animated DC Universe format instead of sharing any similarity to beloved Teen Titans TV series which aired on Cartoon Network. Of course after the more comical in tone Teen Titans Go!, even more have given up hope of their ever being more of the Teen Titans they know and love.

What are you thoughts on the Judas Contract? Leave a comment below and let us know.

Nicolas Winding Refn Developing His First TV Series, ‘Too Old To Die Young,’ For Amazon

By

February 8, 2017

Like quite a few filmmakers before him, Nicolas Winding Refn is moving to television. The Danish writer/director behind the Pusher trilogy, Drive, Only God Forgives and, most recently, last year’s divisive The Neon Demon reconnects with Amazon for Too Old To Die Young, the 10-episode American crime series which he’ll direct, produce and co-write.

Variety (via Indiewire) reported on the development. Too Old To Die Young returns Refn to the City of Angels, Los Angeles, to explore its criminal underbelly. It’s reportedly closer to his Pusher trilogy than anything else. It’ll explore various existential journeys from “being killers to becoming samurais.” As per usual, Refn has something interesting in store.

Ed Brubaker serves as co-writer and executive producer on the project. There are currently no actors attached to the project, although Refn is apparently eying a few notable names. There are even three actors who’ve been offered roles, though no deals have been set. The goal is to start production this fall in LA (of course). We’ll likely hear more details shortly.

Refn is one of our most cinematic working directors, but TV is easily more cinematic than ever these days. With the amount of creative freedom given to filmmakers by Amazon, we’re sure he’ll get full creative license to go crazy with his first-ever television series. We’re excited, to say the least. There are few filmmakers willing to go crazy like Refn.

Everyone and their grandma seemingly shares a different opinion on The Neon Demon, but I, personally, considered it a nice return-to-form after stumbling with the inefficient, aimless Only God Forgives. Knowing he’s returning to the trusted hands of Amazon gives me great comfort during these dark, troublesome times. I welcome 10 new hours of Refn.
