Many parents will accidently take their children to see this film on August 12.
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is two weeks away, and some mystery still surrounds the film. While we know that Cyborg and Flash will make an appearance, we are still unsure about Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)
Dan Amboyer is the actor who’s rumored to playing the iconic role in the film. In fact, we covered all our reasons why this made so much sense a week ago. Many have dismissed the idea of Amboyer playing the role because producer Charles Roven was quoted as saying.
“Every beat of the movie is not yet worked out,” Roven says. “So there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in Justice League 2,” said Roven. “For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after.”
However, as we stated previously, he never mentioned anything about Hal Jordan. Well, Dan Amboyer certainly added fuel to the speculation with this Instagram post.
As I’m sure you caught on with the green light and usage of the phrase “find your limelight”, he’s dropping some serious hints that he’s indeed playing Green Lantern. However, he could be playing another character that incorporates the color green.
Maybe he’s playing Metallo, a kryptonite-fueled cyborg who would pose an enormous threat to Superman. The “Limelight” that he could be referring to might be the light from Kryptonite.
What role do you think he’s playing? Do you believe the producers and think he’s not going to be in the Green Lantern Corps? One thing is for certain, the odds of Dan Amboyer just playing the role of a drone pilot are slim.
Despite the rumors the show would return for its second season this year, new developments have made it appear as if fans will have no choice but to wait for more Attack on Titan anime. According to sources, the original creator Hajime Isayama wants to make sure the original manga is four full story arcs ahead before the new anime starts airing. His intention is to make absolutely sure the anime doesn’t catch up to the manga and create some type of filler episodes which could result in negative feedback from the fans. This situations seems like a double edged sword as fans will react to this news of a delay in a similar negative fashion.
Though the creator is looking at the importance of using the story arcs as a staple for how much anime should be made, it may be more important to look at the number of chapters involved instead. The first season of the anime adapted 34 chapters of manga and the 80th chapter will be released in the coming weeks. There is plenty of material for a studio to adapt into an anime. As a matter of fact, adapting another 34 chapters would put the series at chapter 68 which is at the tail end of one of the arcs. Perfect place to wrap up a season and allow for a third season which will give fans the proper ending they deserve.
Though this news may be depressing for fans of the series, keep in mind it’s only March. There is still plenty of time in the year for a studio to make a decision to go ahead and get the show up and running sometime for 2016. Who knows? The Attack on Titan season 2 may just be the best show of the Fall 2016 anime season. For now fans will have no choice but to rewatch the first season on Crunchyroll.

Yes, of course there will be spoilers here. We’re talking about the end!
10 Cloverfield Lane is a tremendous film, a claustrophobic and balanced thriller, soaked with paranoia fueling the flames of apprehension. It’s a masterfully-composed chamber horror with stellar performances from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman, and a pretty solid supporting turn from John Gallagher Jr.
At least it is for about 85% of the time.
That final reel of 10 Cloverfield Lane is nothing but problematic. As it stands on its own it’s a thrilling showdown between Winstead’s Michelle – free from her very troubled and ultimately layered captor, Howard – and one of the alien ships, or creatures, who has invaded the planet. But that’s precisely the problem, it stands on its own.
The buildup to the final few minutes is some of the most incredible 90 minutes of tension and misdirection I have seen in some time. As Michelle transforms from fearful prisoner, to accepting daughter-figure, to ultimate problem solver with a way to break free from Howard, Winstead never allows her character to lose focus. More observant than interactive, Michelle is forever thinking, moving her eyes as the gears in her brain churn out solutions to problems. Winstead is fabulous. And Goodman does what Goodman does; he is clearly a disturbed person in the end, but we run the gamut of trust and mistrust as Howard’s past reveals itself through deft touches in the screenplay. He is a layered, fascinating antagonist, and Michelle’s escape is earned and cathartic.
But once Howard is out of the picture in the end and Michelle is free outside, everything 10 Cloverfield Lane had worked so feverishly to perfect in the first two (and a half) acts is upended. Now, tension is thrown to the side in lieu of some heavy effects and what seem to be forced action. Michelle spots the alien ship, or creature, roaming the fields outside Howard’s home, and realizes she must now fight off this ship and the sentinel it dropped in the nearby stalks. The complete shift in tone is jarring. A suspenseful thriller has now become an alien invasion action film for the sake of shoving CGI in our face and – feebly – branding this film with the original.
Fine, shift the tones, have Michelle fend off aliens and take off to Houston to help the resistance. But doing it in the final fifteen minutes of a film that had been basically a stage play to that point? It’s a caboose slowing down the entire train. When Michelle jumped on top of Howard’s car and saw the alien craft in the distance, I hoped that would be the final shot. Because it’s chilling to realize Howard was right, and you don’t know Michelle’s next move. Instead we have another ten minutes or so of action that, while well staged, is unsatisfying. And Michelle’s Molotov cocktail into the mouth of the beast is weak. Yes, I know, it’s similar to War of The Worlds. Much of this film is (the first 90 minutes are basically a riff on the Tim Robbins scenes in Spielberg’s film), but War of The Worlds was a large-scale film told on a broad canvas with hundreds of moving parts. And it was a clear allegory for human nature post-9/11. 10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t interested in all that, so aesthetically it may owe itself to Spielberg’s film; emotionally and tonally, it is something entirely separate. At least until the end.
There was another end to the film Collider detailed today, where Michelle finds herself looking over a destroyed Chicago skyline. She removes her gas mask, takes a breath, and the credits roll. This would have been a perfect ending, adding mystery to a film steeped entirely in mystery. But reshoots and rewrites happen in Hollywood. So 10 Cloverfield Lane became part of a brand, a spiritual sequel to an existing film that has less than 1% to do with the first go round. But the movie is solid work from Dan Trachtenberg, a film that deserves credit for creating a thrilling, intimate look at some great characters in a weird situation. It just seems like that final reel was out of his hands in the end.
Star Wars Episode VIII continued filming in Dubrovnik today and with that brought a whole fresh set of photos to along with it. For those who may not have seen yesterday’s article, we posted videos and pictures of what looked to be a land speeder chase. We also wondered why everyone was wearing black. Well, that trend continued today. Let’s take a look but be forewarned; these are certainly spoiler filled pictures that I’m about to post.
Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn all of you.
These costumes seem to have an imperial feel to them. What are your thoughts?
Anyone recognize who’s on what looks to be some space horse? It certainly seems to be Finn and Rey or it could be their stunt doubles. Still check out the guys jacket and tell me that doesn’t look like Finn to you.
A couple of really cool shots of people in these scenes. Again more photos of people in black but the part that sticks out to me is that we have that one lady who’s in white. Who is she? Any theories? Also, we have more men in black robes that look similar to a Jedi robe. Why? Then we, of course, have the group gathered on the street all in black. Is this some funeral that we are witnessing?
Lastly, we have shots that map out an explosive land speeder chase. Who are the actors in these pictures? Stunt doubles?New Actors?
Let us know what you think about all these photos as we continue to countdown the days till Star Wars Episode VIII is released.
CINEMAX announced Monday that Robert Kirkman’s ‘Outcast’ will debut on June 3 with a 10-epiosde first season, and the network also announced it has picked up the series for a second season.
“OUTCAST has been a passion project of mine for many years. Seeing it come together has been a huge thrill for me. What we’ve been able to achieve on CINEMAX, with its unprecedented creative freedom, frankly, almost scares ME at times,” said Kirkman.
“Going into the first season of OUTCAST, we knew that Robert Kirkman had once again created a world that would scare us to our core. But what he, Chris Black and the rest of their team have delivered has exceeded even those high expectations. We believe our viewers will immediately be sucked into OUTCAST’s intense and creepy landscape, which is why we have chosen to pick up a second season,” said Kary Antholis, president, CINEMAX Original Programming.
Outcast is based on the Skybound/Image comic title by creator Robert Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta. The book follows Kyle Barnes, a young man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Now, with the help of the Reverend Anderson, a preacher who has personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a journey to find answers and regain the normal life he lost. But what Kyle discovers could change his fate — and the fate of the world — forever.
CINEMAX also provided character descriptions:
Patrick Fugit stars as Barnes, a man searching for answers, and for redemption, who sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt.
Philip Glenister stars as Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth. An inveterate drinker and gambler, he doesn’t believe God intends people to sweat the small stuff.
Gabriel Bateman stars as Joshua Austin, an eight-year-old who lives across town from Kyle. To his family’s dismay, he appears to be in the clutches of demonic possession, but there’s something very different about this possession and its connection to Kyle Barnes.
AMC is at SXSW this week, and the network announced Garth Ennis’ Preacher will make its small screen debut on May 22, following the mid-season finale of Fear the Walking Dead. AMC also released a new poster for the series.

Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together, and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.
Preacher stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, Ruth Negga as Tulip, Lucy Griffiths as Emily, W. Earl Brown as Sherriff Root, Anatol Yusef as DeBlanc, Tom Brooke as Fiore, Derek Wilson as Donnie Schenck and Ian Colletti as Arseface, and Jackie Earle Haley as Odin Quincannon.
AMC’s Preacher is an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
The 10-episode season was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg
Since its premier at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival the French thriller Disorder (Maryland in France and Belgium) has garnered a lot of praise, competing for the Un Certain Regard section and being one of Variety’s top 21 movies at the festival. It is worthy of most of the praise.
Vincent (Matthias Schoenaerts) is a French soldier who is suffering from hearing loss and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He also moonlights as a private security contractor in between missions and after working the security detail for a wealthy Lebanese businessman, Whalid’s (Percy Kemp) party he is hired to protect Whalid’s wife (Diane Kruger) and their young son, (Zaïd Errougui-Demonsant) while he is away. But Whalid’s dodgy business dealing start to catch up with him and Vincent’s simple job seems to become more complicated. Or is it a case of Vincent’s paranoia running amok? Disorder is the second feature from writer/director Alice Winocour and shows she is a filmmaker with great potential. With Disorder she delivers A compelling psychological thriller with a realistic social twist. It is a surprisingly effective mix as it provides the thrills and drama. At the beginning of the movie, the doctor asks Vincent to return if he suffers from anxiety or hallucinations which leads to questions about whether there really is a conspiracy or if it’s just a figment of Vincent’s imagination.
Winocour gives Disorder a down beat look – one of the first scenes in the movies is Vincent undergoing medical tests, followed by him nearly losing it on a bus and going to his rundown apartment in a rough estate. It sets out a bleak tone, and it is kept throughout the movie. Even when Vincent enters into the wealthy Maryland estate there is a voyeuristic quality as he looks at Kruger’s character who remains nameless for most of the movie. When Vincent observes Kruger and the rest of the house through the security cameras, it was very reminiscent of the excellent British film Red Road, using the cameras to follow Kruger and others while also acting as a way to see events in the house.
Most of Disorder is told through Vincent’s eyes. It is focused on the relationship with Kruger. Any information about Whalid and his criminal activities is kept in the background, either overhearing Whalid and his guests at the party or through news reports. There is an element of political corruption which explains a lack of action from the police and the spectre of crime and political corruption is kept ever-present. But the focus is on the relationship between Vincent and Kruger – they are just pawns in a larger scheme, and their only objective is to survive. There are not planning to expose a conspiracy.
Violence is infrequent in Disorder but when it does appear it is quick and very brutal. Disorder has a very realistic depiction of violence, when people get stabbed or shot it has an impact as blood splatters on the walls. There is no glorification of the violence; we are not meant to cheer when it shown on screen – it is shown to be a struggle for life and death, and there is shock when an act is committed or seen. Vincent is a soldier, and he is shown to be very skilled when fighting off attackers and can break limbs with the best of them. This is the biggest concession Winocour makes to the genre’s tropes. Disorder has two excellent leads. Schoenaerts is best to English language audiences for his roles in The Drop, Suite Française and Far from the Madding Crowd, but he truly shows his range as Vincent. Schoenaerts was able to portray Vincent’s psychological distress, having small outbursts of anger and acting irrationally, putting others in danger. He was perfect at being the unhinged soldier and the unflinching badass. Kruger was great at giving Vincent looks of disdain and holds him in contempt but depends on the soldier to protect her and her son – warming to him as the movie progresses.
Disorder is a taut thriller that has the look and feel of a gritty European drama while also being a strong character study and an intriguing thriller. It delivers with some hard hitting action sequences and shows that Alice Winocour is a filmmaker to watch, whether she decides to work in action, drama or horror.
