Coming soon to cinemas near you! - The upcoming films thread

DaltonCraig007

@bondjames Dwayne Johnson will most likely rack up the big hits in 2018 (Rampage + Skyscraper) & 2019 (Hobbs & Shaw + Jumanji 3).

bondjames

I don't doubt it @DaltonCraig007. He's the highest paid actor these days too, isn't he (it's between him and Wahlberg I think)? Ticks a diversity box too.

I'm looking forward to Rampage and Skyscraper this year. Both should be good fun.

Thunderfinger

No interest in Rampage, but Skyscraper is on my cinema list.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) is now:

- The 3rd biggest success of all time for Sony with a world wide gross of $881 million, having just surpassed Spectre and Spiderman: Homecoming
- The 5th biggest domestic hit of 2017 with $365 million.
- The 5th biggest world wide hit of 2017, having out performed every superhero films of the past year, with only Despicable Me 3, Fate of the Furious, Beauty and the Beast & Star Wars 8 ahead of it.

Truly staggering.

Yep! Definitely!

Noted! On a bit of a 70's run, now. Having just finished the 70's Columbo episodes, I'm aiming to watch as many 70's films as possible throughout the year!

Kung Fury will get a feature-length sequel, starring, beside David Hasselhoff, Michael Fassbender:

My gut feeling tells me that as a big screen adaption this is going to fail miserably. The strengths of the short film are far from cinematic.

Fassbenders career is taking a turn for the worse lately.

Was Kung Fury the martial arts parody film that got crowdfunded through Kickstarter?

There's one role in particular that he would be perfect for, and that could really jump start his career.

boldfinger

@Mendes4Lyfe, @bondjames, yes indeed, it´s frustrating to witness how that talent is wasted.



@Torgeirtrap, yes, that´s the one. It´s glorious. You can watch it on youtube:

Dwayne Johnson seems to have a ton of fun in every trailer he appears in lately.

Den of Thieves is getting a sequel:

Can't wait for more Gerard Butler badassery! I'll be seeing Den of Thieves next week.

boldfinger

Just stumbled upon this, it´s from December ´17, and shows Christian Bale in shape to play Dick Cheney. Man´s a frickin chameleon! It´s hard to recognize him at all, even though he wears no make-up or anything:




It´s also interesting to see he gained 40 pounds for this new movie, after declining for health reasons to gain weight for Michael Mann´s then-planned Ferrari film a few years ago.

Peter Berg's Mile 22, starring Mark Wahlberg and Iko Uwais, will be hitting theaters on July 20th, 2018, with a sequel and TV series already in development:

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/922625-stxfilms-sets-summer-release-date-for-mark-wahlbergs-mile-22

That'll mark two Uwais-starring films for the summer. Should be a good one, then!

As far as I´m concerned, they can postpone Battle Angel as long as they want.
But Rampage looks like a lot of fun, I´ll definitely be seeing it.

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 @bondjames @MajorDSmythe @DarthDimi @doubleoego @Creasy47 @ClarkDevlin

Stefano Sollima, the director of Sicario 2 & creator of the TV series Gomorrah, is currently in talks to direct the first big screen adaptation of the Call of Duty video game franchise.

boldfinger

Video game adaptions tend to suck. I hope this is not drawing Sollima´s talent into wasteland.

Creasy47

Plus, talk about a missed opportunity: they should've done one a decade ago when the series was much more popular. They're asking to lose money by shooting one now with so much interest lost by fans over the years.

Denzel Washington is coming back sooner than expected - the release date for The Equalizer 2 has moved up from August 3rd to July 20th of this year. It now shares the same release day as Mile 22 (the Peter Berg action flick with Mark Wahlberg and Iko Uwais), both coming 1 week before Mission Impossible: Fallout.

Time surely flies fast! I'd love me some Equalizer. :D

They probably moved it up after seeing the MI:F trailer and realizing it may have legs, so better to release first.

Interesting. I hope Columbus does it justice. Despite the cringey fanbase reputation FNAF has, I believe the series has massive potential for greatness on the big screen.
