Why We Love The Flash – Grant Gustin’s Open Letter To Fans
The CW hit a home run with The Flash this season because the show makes you remember why we love superheroes at the core level, they inspire. You want to help an old lady across the street after watching an episode (that’s not a bad thing).
There is an honest emotional struggle with Barry Allen and you root for him to succeed and get the girl. What makes the show work is the casting of Grant Gustin as Barry, through every high and low of his superhero career the moments are genuine. Now Gustin comes in with his own genuine moment posting an open letter to his fans on Facebook thanking them for their support and continuing the excitement for the season finale on Tuesday.
Grant Gustin Open Letter:
It’s happening, guys. The finale is finally here. THIS TUESDAY. It was a long, emotional season and it’s all about to come to an end. Well, there will be some closure at least. It is the season finale of The Flash after all.. it can’t be ALL sunshine and smiles. You’ll just have to come back for season 2.
Check out the trailer if you please. I do suppose it could be considered SOMEWHAT spoilery. As usual though, it does not reallyyyyyy give away any of the big reveals..
AGAIN, I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for tuning in to our show all season and making it the hit that it has become. Every time I stop and think about the fact that I get to play The Flash and Barry Allen and there are people out there that love our show… I can’t even fully explain it to be honest. It almost feels like I’m watching it happen to someone else at times. I will always feel grateful for getting to do what I love to do and now I have all of you to thank for helping me get to do that, AND on what I think is a ground breaking show led by geniuses Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns. I really believe they are the perfect people to be bringing this iconic character to life. They love this character & they’re incredibly passionate about getting him right. They’re also pretty okay guys and I love working with them. I feel incredibly lucky.
I also feel very lucky to get to work with the cast & crew every single day on this show. We have spent some lonnnggggg days & nights together and we all know how challenging it was to make every single one of the 23 episodes we made this season. I have so much respect for every person I got to work with on this first season. It was no joke.
I especially love our cast. Jesse, Tom, Candice, Danielle, Los & Pretty Ricky. The “we moved to Canada to make this tv show” group. I love you all. You inspire me every day and getting to work with you is a dream. Our show doesn’t accidentally rock. It’s because you all bust your butts because you want to and it’s fun. I can’t wait to start season 2 with you.
I can’t not mention awesome cast members John Wesley Shipp, Patrick Sabongui, Robbie Amell, Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, Brandon Routh, Paul Blackthorne, Katie Cassidy, Wentworth Miller, Dom Purcell, Victor Garber, Liam McIntyre, Malese Jow, Clancy Brown, Michelle Harrison, Logan Williams, Greg Finley, Chad Rook, Nicholas Gonzalez, Andy Mientus, Emily Kinney, Paul Anthony, Anthony Carrigan, Dani Nicolet, Britne Oldford, Micah Parker, Devon Graye, Chase Masterson, Doug Jones, Peyton List, Kelly Frye, Roger Howarth, Michael Smith, Matt Letscher, Michael Reventar, Amanda Pays, Isabella Hofmann, Jeremy Schuetze, Robert Knepper, Vito D’Ambrosio, Al Sapienza, David Ramsey, William Sadler & Mark Hamill. I realize that’s a long list of people, but for me being relatively “new” to the business and having never been a regular a show before, getting to work with all of those actors and watching them help bring our show to life always made it feel like that much more of an authentic world to me. Those are some heavy hitters and bad ass actors on that list. SO i guesses I should also thank David Rapaport for bringing all of them to us and for jump starting this opportunity for me as well.
OKAY.
I apologize for the ramble.
Thank you for putting up with it if you made it through all of my poor grammar and absurd train of thought.
Point is…thank you & watch the season finale please.
George Miller Already Has A Title For His ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Sequel
Mad Max: Fury Road mastermind George Miller already has a title for the inevitable sequel: Mad Max: The Wasteland.
It seems the delays in production of Mad Max: Fury Road gave Miller and his team enough time to draw up backstories and flesh out the fringes of this world that a sequel may be moving faster than usual. In his interview with The Playlist, Miller said “We’ve got one screenplay and a novella. It happened because with the delays [on ‘Fury Road’], and writing all the backstories, they just expanded.”
Tom Hardy has stated on several occasions that he has signed on for multiple Mad Max sequels, and is ready to get going whenever production starts up again. Fury Road took in $45 million domestically, a solid and respectable haul for an R-rated film, and has taken in over $100 internationally, so thankfully sequels will be on the way. Of course, the title could always change, but this is the most current title idea from Miller himself so we’ll go with it.
As much as I enjoy Fury Road as a standalone film, I am excited to see where we go in this vivid George Miller universe. Bring on The Wasteland.

“Let Us Prey” Brings “Game Of Thrones” Blood-Bath
Liam Cunningham is Davos Seaworth on Game of Thrones, and in his latest film from Dark Sky Films Let Us Prey it looks like he brought some of the blood and death from his HBO show.
Let Us Prey will be available on VOD on May 26.
Rachel (Pollyanna McIntosh; The Woman, Filth), a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a backwater town. Surrounded by both disgruntled officers and irate petty offenders, her job becomes all the more difficult and terrifying when a mysterious man (Cunningham) is brought in and strange things start happening to everyone in the station.
As it becomes clear that the enigmatic stranger, known simply as Six, has something to do with the supernatural, terrifying events, Rachel finds herself in a fight for her life against cop and criminal alike as one by one they turn on each other. Now she must survive the night and uncover the stranger’s true plans for the station’s hapless denizens before she too falls prey to the unholy power that seeks to destroy them all.
Taylor Swift Creates A Bad Action Movie In New Video
If you’ve seen Mad Max: Fury Road over the past weekend and then you wake up Monday morning and watch Taylor Swift’s new video Bad Blood, you’re like WTF! That’s exactly how I felt this morning.
Watch the video below and count how many concepts Swift rips off and then poorly executes them. With no original ideas Swift creates a bad action movie.
With more than a million views in the first 12 hours the song will get airtime. For the 15,000 the gave the video a thumbs down, I applaud you.
Every Easter Egg & Reference From “Mad Max: Fury Road”
Mr. Sunday Movies goes through every Easter egg and reference from Mad Max: Fury Road. Did you catch them all?
Minimalist in characterization and dialogue, over-the-top and bombastic in direction and action choreography, Mad Max: Fury Road is exactly the sort of masterfully schizophrenic film making that fans of George Miller’s original trilogy of “Mad Max” films would and should expect in a new entry in the iconic series. Unlike so many sequels that take too long to produce and thus arrive far too late to add anything of value to the series, Fury Road takes advantage of modern film making techniques to ratchet the intensity up an insane notch while retaining the tone and spirit of the original films. There’s no mistaking that what we’re seeing is the same dystopian world and the same “Mad Max” Rockatansky that Miller introduced us to decades ago.
Check out our complete Mad Max: Fury Road film review.
“Suicide Squad” Jared Leto Joker Video
The one thing we have established is that the Suicide Squad movie needs better security. By the time the film comes out the audience will have seen tons of production footage.
The video below is the best view of Jared Leto’s Joker and his purple sports car, but there were at least three to four people filming from this vantage point based on conversation and camera shutter noise recorded in the video.
Do you like the paparazzi style video or do you want to wait for the first trailer?

Suicide Squad stars two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith (“The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Ali,” upcoming “Focus”) as Deadshot; Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg; Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Focus,” the “Tarzan” movie) as Harley Quinn; Oscar winner Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Alexander”) as the Joker; Jai Courtney (“Divergent,” upcoming “The Water Diviner”) as Boomerang; and Cara Delevingne (“Anna Karenina,” upcoming “Pan”) as Enchantress.
An all-star roster of actors has joined Warner Bros. Pictures’ new action adventure “Suicide Squad,” bringing DC Comics’ super villain team to the big screen under the direction of David Ayer (“Fury”). The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.
In making the announcement, Silverman said, “The Warner Bros. roots are deep on this one. David Ayer returns to the studio where he wrote ‘Training Day’ and brings his incredible ability to craft multidimensional villains to this iconic DC property with a cast of longtime Warner collaborators Will Smith and Tom Hardy, and other new and returning favorites: Margot, Jared, Jai and Cara. We look forward to seeing this terrific ensemble, under Ayer’s amazing guidance, give new meaning to what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero.”
Ayer is also writing the script for “Suicide Squad,” which is being produced by Charles Roven (“The Dark Knight” trilogy, upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”) and Richard Suckle (“American Hustle”). Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Colin Wilson and Geoff Johns are serving as executive producers.
The film is slated for release on August 5, 2016.
