FURY Trailer

After his supporting roles in the hugely successful 12 Years a Slave and Ridley Scott’s very underwhelming The Counselor last year, Brad Pitt is ready to take on the lead part again. His next big upcoming project is Fury, written and directed by David Ayer, famous for crime/cop movies like End of Watch, Harsh Times and Training Day. Other cast members include Shia LeBeouf, Logan Lerman and Scott Eastwood.

A Superb Animated Mash-Up of LOTR, Star Wars & More

In the following animated video, a dozen and more story worlds are mashed together as Gandalf and Gollum fight, Batman goes into battle with the Joker and Two Face, Sith battle Jedi, Superman and Superwoman fight crime together. This must be one of the best promo-reels I’ve ever seen, and it’s definitely a must-see! Watch the video – you’ll definitely enjoy it.

What happened to FRANCIS?

In this animated short film called Francis, a young man tells us about his memories of a camping trip. As he grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, he’d often go camping in the Quetico Provincial Park, up on the border of Minnesota and Canada. However, he won’t be going back there any time soon, not after what happened there to Francis Brandywine.

THE DROP Trailer

Short after completing the shoots The Drop in June 2013, legendary actor James Gandolfini sadly passed away. In a few months’ time, we will finally see his last appearance in film. The Drop is directed by Michaël R.

Mockingjay
Stunning Mockingjay Propaganda Posters

If you’re a bit like me, you’re eagerly awaiting the release of the third part of the The Hunger Games film franchise: Mockingjay Part 1. I was already a fan of the books before the films came out, and I’m a satisfied fan – in my opinion, they’re doing really good at translating the original trilogy to the screen.

ENEMY is Denis Villeneuve’s Beautiful, Twisted Mind-Bender

Last year, Denis Villeneuve directed one of the most pleasant surprises of the year with Prisoners, an unrelentingly tense film about child abduction that presented intriguing moral questions while also providing satisfying twists and turns throughout. That filmed starred Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal has teamed up with Villeneuve again in Enemy, a much smaller and much, much more mind-bending film than Prisoners.
