    Warning : this is not the Disney version. But it looks nice all the same :



    And that one looks funny, even if we've seen that before :

    While I always have time for Scarlett Johansson, Rough Night looks like a gender switched, less funny (the same jokes can be seen to so many other modern comedies) take on Very Bad Things.

    I really enjoy Scarlett too, but I'll skip 'Rough Night' and watch this instead:

    @DaltonCraig007 - I'll still pick up a copy of Rough Night, but Ghost In The Shell* looks to be the better film by far.

    *I have heard about the complaints about the casting, but I know next to nothing of the source material. All I see before me is Scarlett Johansson in what looks like a stylish looking si fi action thriller.

    As you guys know, next year we are getting a 4th IP Man film with Donnie Yen. Now, an IP Man spinoff has also been announced, with Tony Jaa, Dave Bautista and Michelle Yeoh.

    Intriguing. Excellent potential for some truly great action.

    I smell a Hinx crossover coming. A mute man must recover his voice, through battle.

    Spoiler alert: with this cast, someone is getting kicked in the face before the credits roll.

    Wow, never thought I'd enjoy hearing 'Amazing Grace' played atop car crashes and fight scenes involving machetes and clevers. I'm in. Gotta start writing down the titles of all these martial arts movies, I'm slowly forgetting all the upcoming ones that look good.

    The action is truly off the chart in these Korean films. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys get into the big leagues soon, like Ang Lee & John Woo did.

    EDIT: I didn't realize this was a Hong Kong production and not Korean.

    Well, didn't think the film could get any more tough and manly, but there it is. I feel bad for the poor sod who goes up against Michael Jai White in that movie.

    Damn, looks like a Chinese, Thai and Korean production. Looks like it's going to be a brutal ride. Can't wait!

    Watching the trailer again made me remember that we are also getting SPL 3: War Needs Lord later this year, with Tony Jaa returning.

    Low key Spanish spy/thriller. I had never seen anything from this director before, but from this trailer alone, he should definitely direct a Bond film.



    And on the totally opposite end of the spectrum:

    I disagree vehemently.

    Apparently, Warner Bros. are rebooting THE MATRIX, with Michael B. Jordan in negotiations to star in it. None of the original crew are involved.

    Do they really need to? The Matrix Trilogy is ageless and definitely doesn't need a retelling, a sequel (what? they're gonna reveal now that Neo infiltrated the Agent program and destroyed it, the program earned a new update and is now more dangerous than ever?) or a remake. It's just pointless to the core.

    Why can't they just continue the Matrix story? There's so much that can be explored without having to reboot the damn thing. Honestly, Hollywood really piss me off at times.

    They could continue the story, but without the existence of the Agent program and a brand new "Chosen One" instead of Neo. It's been said before there have been two Matrix universes prior to the one we've seen (one was under the responsible creation of The Merovingian, I gather?) and this one could have a new and subversive take on the matter by creating a brand new universe program and a new set of enemies, the replacement of the Agent program while including The Oracle, The Architect and The Merovingian as well as the other cornerstone programs.

    That's the way to do it if they want to do a sequel. Otherwise, it's just pointless.

    I have seen the movies but to be honest? I don't know what all the fuss was about? Have to say I see no point in a reboot?

    This is probably my first major disappointment for a Christopher Nolan film before the film comes out, but his WW2 film Dunkirk has received a PG-13 rating. I'm sure the movie will still be very good, but when someone makes a war film, I expect an R rated film.

    Was the war itself R rated?

    At least if there's a series/franchise that makes sense getting endless reboots, it'd be 'The Matrix' series.

    It was NC-17, that's for sure.

    That's interesting to learn @DaltonCraig007. I wonder how they're going to pull this off. I saw the new trailer attached to Kong earlier today and it looks pretty good so hopefully Nolan delivers.
