Evangeline Lilly Says Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant Man’ Would Not Have Fit In the Marvel Universe

Evangeline Lilly Says Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant Man’ Would Not Have Fit In the Marvel Universe
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

“I thought Edgar’s idea to blend the [Hank and Scott] stories was brilliant,” Lilly told Buzzfeed about Wright’s approach. “You’re going to have fans up there who insist that you tell the story of Hank Pym, and fans up there who will be more on the Scott Lang side of it. … I think we are going to come close to pleasing them all.” But when Wright exited the movie, things were then thrown up in the air.

...

“I saw with my own eyes that Marvel had just pulled the script into their world,” Lilly revealed. “I mean, they’ve established a universe, and everyone has come to expect a certain…

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ TV Trailer

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ TV Trailer

Many are calling this latest trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings “epic.” While I understand what they mean, I have to say that this trailer would not get my attention like the last one did. This trailer seesm to focus on the action and the heart pounding. The previous theatrical trailer has much more balance and nuance and things that I was interested in. But that’s not what’s going to seel people on this film, and Ridley Scott and the rest of the team know that. So they’ve given us this trailer.

The film opens in theaters on December 12.

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

Well now, while I’m still looking forward to this film, this trailer just isn’t half as good as any of the previous trailers. I sure hope the film is better than this latest trailer suggests.

It is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who has done some quite good work prior to this. And the film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Caine, so I still think it’s going to be good.

In theaters on February 13.

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

I do not speak French so I have no idea what any of the onscreen text in this trailer is saying. Nevertheless, I enjoyed getting a look at some things we haven’t seen for this film before.

I continue to hold out at least a little bit of hope that I will like this film despite a lot of warning signs and red flags.

The film comes to theaters on February 6, 2015.

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

There are a lot of things I’m unsure of. For instance, I’m not sure what attracted Hugh Jackman to this project. I’m not sure why Rooney Mara was cast as Tiger Lily — a native American Indian whom Rooney Mara could not be further from, ethnically. I’m not sure why James Hook appears to be a good guy in this film. A tragic story about a man gone bad?

I am, admittedly, somewhat intrigued by Hugh Jackman playing Blackbeard, but that may be the only thing here I’m interested in. I literally don’t care about anything else going on in this film. But, on the off chance that any of you do, here’s…

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

I’ve got a little bit of Monday morning fun here for you. The first teaser trailer for The Force Awakens hasn’t been out that long, but we’ve already got some alternate fan and/or hate cuts going on that I’d like to share with you.

First up, it appears George Lucas has already gotten his grubby hands on the new film and plans to release the George Lucas Special Edition replete with banthas, a whole lot more storm troopers on Tatooine, Jango Fett clones, Jaba the Hut, force ghost Hayden Christensen Anakin force ghost, crazy amounts of Tie Fighters ganging up on the Falcon, and of course,…

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

Here it is guys, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer we’ve been waiting all week for. I had a little bit of a fit when I first thought it would only show in NINE THEATERS across the U.S. and nowhere else. Then they opened up the kimono a little and revealed it would be in quite a few more theaters than that, including a theater I generally like to go to in Franklin (though I probably would have driven 50 or 60 miles to some theaters somewhere in or around Nashville to see this teaser). But I had nothing to fear because it’s on iTunes Trailers, and on YouTube.

I’ll have some…

Thai Cinema Chain Pulls ‘Mockingjay’ On Account of the 3-Finger Salute

Thai Cinema Chain Pulls ‘Mockingjay’ On Account of the 3-Finger Salute
Ariana Bacle — Entertainment Weekly

Had tickets to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 in Thailand? You might be seeing a Woody Allen film instead.

Apex, a Thai cinema chain, was scheduled to begin showing the Hunger Games movie Thursday, but decided to pull the film from two of its theaters and replace it with Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight.
The decision comes on the heels of a government event where five students were detained after flashing T-shirts with protest messages and giving the three finger salute—the same salute Katniss gives in The Hunger Games to represent her district, and the salute Thai protesters took…
