This weekend, composer John Powell says goodbye to a friend. With How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in theaters, Powell is closing his decade-long partnership with Toothless the Night Fury, the loveable dragon audiences met in 2010 and who helped the composer earn an Oscar nomination for original score. The Hidden World picks up with Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) trying to find the dragons a new home and save them from overpopulation. With the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, Powell appreciated that writer/director Dean Deblois talked in non-musical terms. “The easiest thing for a composer is to talk about what the characters are trying to achieve, and focus on the language of story,” Powell tells The Hollywood Reporter. “In the same regard, Dean is only interested in how the emotion of the music strikes him, not whether it’s the strings or brass that achieves it.” The conclusion of trilogy has Powell in a reflective mood, and in a … [Read more...] about ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Composer Says Goodbye to the Trilogy

Matt Reeves Reportedly Looking For An Actor In His Late-20s To Star In The Batman
x Earlier this week, the internet momentarily got very excited when it was reported that Armie Hammer was in final talks to star in Matt Reeves’ The Batman.

In fact, if a new report from THR is anything to go by, the 32-year-old Call Me by Your Name star may not even be in the right age bracket for the part.

The report adds that the new Bruce Wayne won’t be a “straight-up rookie” in the vein of Batman: Year One’s take on the character, but he also won’t be “the expert, undefeatable crimefighter of a Batman at his peak.” Never-Before-Seen Justice League Photos Fly Online 1 of 38 Click to skip MORE FROM THE WEB Click to … [Read more...] about Matt Reeves Reportedly Looking For An Actor In His Late-20s To Star In The Batman
