The Kid Who Would be King is almost here. Get your tickets now! Right from its opening text, Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur seeks to abandon the notion that this interpretation is rooted in the classical legend, instead opting for, as the film suggests, “recently discovered archeological evidence…” This approach brings the film closer to something akin to historical fiction placing King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table at the very end of a long journey to acquire freedom from Rome. The film, which was released in 2004 right after a renewed interest in the epic fantasy genre with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, is a complete reinterpretation of the Arthurian legend, one that decides to ignore all previous material from classic sources like Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur or the Alliterative Morte Arthure. These two seminal texts shaped the King Arthur myth for a long time and established classic ideas (the Quest for the Holy Grail, the … [Read more...] about Historical Myth: Recontextualizing Antoine Fuqua’s KING ARTHUR

1 minute ago While every summer box office season brings some big hits that has moviegoers constantly throwing cash in their direction, there's always a few films that have to endure the title of summer bomb. Among the first of 2017's summer movie line-up was King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which made a mere $15 million at opening, despite being helmed by Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie and lead by Sons of Anarchy stud Charlie Hunnam.

Last week it was rumored that Jeremy Renner was up for the lead role of Detective 'Twitch' Williams in Todd McFarlane's Spawn. Well, Deadline is now reporting that the rumor is true. Renner has officially been cast in the movie and joins Jamie Foxx, who was previously cast as Spawn. McFarlane had this to say in a statement regarding the casting and why he ended up bringing Renner to the role: "As a first time director, I wanted to surround myself with the most talent and the most skilled people I can on all fronts. I was lucky enough to land Jason Blum and then Jamie Foxx, and I knew the person on screen the most is this police officer, Twitch Williams. We needed as strong a person as possible because he will be the face of the film. I took my naïve Hollywood approach again, and said let’s start at the top and work down. Jeremy was at the top.

I was looking for somebody … [Read more...] about Jeremy Renner Officially Cast as Twitch in Todd McFarlane’s SPAWN

It's been three and a half years since the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Three slate of movies was announced, and we're finally entering the home stretch. Avengers 4 will conclude this era of the franchise, but before that, we'll be winding the clock back to the 1990s (approximately a decade before Iron Man launched the modern MCU) and meet Carol Danvers for the first time in Captain Marvel.
