Fox Orders New X-Men Series From Bryan Singer

Fox Orders New X-Men Series From Bryan Singer
We had heard rumors that there was a new X-Men series coming and that it would take place in the X-Men cinematic universe. Well, it turns out that it was true. In fact, Fox has officially ordered the pilot for the series from producer Bryan Singer, and they’ve hired Matt Nix (Burn Notice) to write as well as produce.

Variety says that the pilot “will focus on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.” So obviously the pilot will serve as an origin story for those involved.

Fox had already picked up the upcoming series Legion, which looks pretty darn good. So this would be there second. Are they headed the way of the CW? That would be awesome. I am a firm believer that these properties work much better on television. I can’t wait to see where this goes. Although I am kind of done with Singer.

Rian Johnson Teases Photo of Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Opening Crawl

Rian Johnson Teases Photo of Star Wars The Last Jedi's Opening Crawl
Damn you Rian Johnson. Why must you tease us? We have almost a full year to wait for this movie still. I guess stuff like this gives us something to do in the meantime. Director Rian Johnson released a neat behind-the-scenes photo teasing the opening crawl for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. We are still speculating what that title could mean. It probably just refers to Luke being the last since Rey isn’t a Jedi yet. We will have to wait and see.

This cool photo was posted on Instagram with the following caption:

“Felt so good to drop this into the cut this morning.”

It is going to be so hard to wait until December.

Episode VIII Gets a Title – Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Episode VIII Gets a Title - Star Wars The Last Jedi
At last Star Wars Episode VIII has a title. That title is… Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It is a rather striking title given that this movie falls in the middle of a trilogy rather than the end. It is a cool title, but it really gives us no hint as to what we can expect. This does not mean that Luke or Rey have to die, because Jedi can refer to one or several. We don’t know what it means, but an official title brings us at least one step closer to the movies arrival, which is in December.

The Making Of Arrival FX Breakdown Video

The Making Of Arrival
If you enjoyed Arrival, Oblique FX has released The Making Of Arrival video showing off the VFX work on the film. Many Bothans died to- I mean, a lot of work went into telling this story on the big screen and much of that was special effects work. This video gives us a look at what was real and what was not. They did an amazing job on this film and without these effects it would not have been the awesome movie that it is. Many people consider this to be the best Sci-Fi movie of 2016 after all.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Promo Shows Off Spidey’s Suit

New Spider-Man Homecoming Promo Shows Off Spidey's Suit
Here is a cool short promo video for Spider-Man: Homecoming. It highlights the new Spidey suit and all of it’s upgrades. Tony Stark packed it full of neat tricks and gadgets. I can’t wait to see Peter Parker play with them all in the film. This movie really looks like they have made Spider-Man fun again and taken things back to basics. Spider-Man has always been about the struggle of balancing his home and school life with being a superhero. That’s when Spidey works and so far I think they have nailed it. This movie should be great.

New Justice League Photo Shows Off Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Flash and Aquaman

New Justice League Photo Shows Off Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Flash and Aquaman
A new photo from Zack Snyder’s Justice League has made its way online and it features the whole gang. This is the first image of these characters gathered together as a team. Where is Superman? I guess he took the photo. We will find out soon. I really want to like this movie and I hope I do, but it just doesn’t feel right. The tone seems all wrong. The Flash’s armor still bothers me too. I don’t think he looks cool at all. Maybe this movie will surprise me. I sure hope so. It just seems like it is overcompensating.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League will arrive in theaters on November 17, 2017.

Batman v Superman VFX Reel Is A Must Watch

Batman v Superman VFX Reel Is A Must Watch
Okay, so Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn’t go down well with many of the fans, but I think we can all agree that we were impressed by the visual effects. The effects work was simply top notch and there are more effects in the movie than you might think. This fun video will show you a lot of it and you will be impressed all over again. Whether you like the movie or not, the work that went into it must be respected.
