Netflix has announced that they'll be entering into what is being hailed as their biggest budget feature project to date, when they team up with Skydance Media for an upcoming action thriller entitled SIX UNDERGROUND. Directed by Michael Bay and written by writers and executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick of DEADPOOL 2 fame, the original motion picture will star Ryan Reynolds, who right now is enjoying quite the windfall from his latest turn as Marvel's Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger will produce along with Bay. The collaboration marks the first time that Skydance Media and Netflix are joining forces for an "event level" feature, as well as Bay and Reynold's Netflix Original debut. It's also to be noted that SIX UNDERGROUND is yet another move by Netflix to remain a top competitor for original, high-profile content on a streaming network. No plot details surrounding the film have been revealed at this … [Read more...] about Ryan Reynolds set to star in Michael Bay directed Six Underground feature

DEADPOOL 2 is officially in theaters now and fans agree it’s just as depraved and hilariously grotesque as the last movie. So many crass jokes and violent bits were crammed in that you can hardly believe the filmmakers had space for it all. But don’t worry, they have plenty more to cram in, and in order to fit it all the movie will be getting an extended cut, as confirmed by director David Leitch. Leitch was speaking with CinemaBlend at a junket recently when he revealed that there is indeed an extended cut of DP2 in the works and that he’s currently working with writers Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese and Ryan Reynolds (who also stars) on figuring out what goes in. There's an extended cut. And I think that they may want to spin that out as a special thing, but right now I'm sort of... we're taking our time, and it's going back to the 'director cut,' and then sort of collaborating with Ryan [Reynolds], Rhett [Reese], and Paul [Wernick], and making sure we're all … [Read more...] about Deadpool 2 director says an extended cut is coming our way

Jet Li fans were given a bit of a scare recently when a photo of the actor began circulating around the internet of him looking thin and “unrecognizable.” The photo led people to begin speculating about Li’s condition, with many saying they were “praying” for his health. However, the movie star’s manager, Steven Chasman, has come out to say the actor is doing fine, and that the photo was simply an unflattering one. Chasman confirmed to The Washington Post today that Li is in high spirits, and though he has been fighting hyperthyroidism for the last few years the illness is not “life-threatening.” He even shared photos with The Post of Li looking happy and healthy, calling initial coverage of his health after the photo "sensationalism."   He has hyperthyroidism that he’s been dealing with for almost 10 years. It’s nothing life-threatening and he’s dealing with it. For reference, here is the photo that has been … [Read more...] about Jet Li’s manager says illness is not

The first trailer for Andy Serkis' MOWGLI is here! Many have been curious about the actor/director's retelling of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale from "The Jungle Book" and how it would compare to Jon Favreau's live-action 2016 version. As you can see for yourself, the film looks to take a look at some of the many unexplored elements of the Disney version of the story, leaning more on Kipling's original story and seeking to tell a version that stands apart from the iterations that have come before. In addition to the trailer drop, we have an exclusive interview with Serkis about the film, which you can check out below, as well as a new featurette about the making of the film. I have to start with the obvious question, which is after the massive success of the Disney version what was it that kept you onboard to see MOWGLI through despite that? Oh, listen, I always had complete faith in our film and our version of this story because I was really passionate about it when I first read the … [Read more...] about First trailer for Mowgli and interview with director & star Andy Serkis
