    It is very similar to THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD from 1951, which is a much better film.

    They were both loosely based on a novella from the 30s called WHO GOES THERE?

    Hadn't heard about that film before. You learn something new every day!

    Both films are excellent! Carpenter movie is closer to the novella. Saw it in the cinema at the time. Rob Bottins effects were superb.
    And it has a great cast with Kurt Russell in the lead.

    Sylvester Stallone will start production on Rambo 5 later this summer (once he finishes working on Creed 2), before moving unto Expendables 4, which is now confirmed to start filming in early 2019.

    Totally agree @Mathis1. To say that John Carpenter's The Thing is awful proves just how big the gap is in what some of us perceive as great cinema.

    Sisters Brothers looks good. Read the book by Patrick Dewitt a long time ago. Not sure what Riz Ahmed is doing in a western, but I'll just put it down to hokey casting?

    DTV films don't have a great reputation, but I have enjoyed (and not in a "so bad they're good" way) most of JCVDs latter films. Black Water looks like it won't disappoint.
    Looking forward to Black Water, too.

    Speaking of DTV, 6 Bullets is a legitimately good DTV film.

    Remakes have to live up to higher standards than other films, to justify their existence by taking the original film and adding something to it. A couple of remakes that do so, regardless of whether they turned out good or bad on the whole, are Sleuth and Cape Fear.

    And Assassination Games, especially that one.

    So many great films in the works. If we can get even a sliver of the sort of cool, grit and intensity so readily apparent in the trailer above in the next Bond effort I may just be able to forgive a lot

    Sicario: Day of the Soldado and MI: Fallout are the two standout movies that are top of my must-see list. The rest perhaps less so.

    MI: Fallout is the standout for me. Haven't seen the first Sicario film yet.

    Off the top of my head, they're the only two films I plan on seeing in theaters this year. The latter seems to be an IMAX must-see, so hopefully I can manage a trip.

    I agree with you there, Thunders. That does look truly awful.

    The 1st trailer for Peppermint, the new revenge action flick from Pierre Morel (Taken) & starring Jennifer Gardner in the lead role, will be released next week.

    Peppermint is a revenge story centering on a young mother who finds herself with nothing to lose, and is now going to take from her rivals the very life they stole from her.

    Should be good. I hope her 'special set of skills' are up to snuff.

    This Pooh film looks good. I've been a fan since childhood so I may check it out.

    Dave Bautista will play the lead role in the big screen adaptation of the comic book Dogtown. It will be an action/comedy.

    Bautista will play Mack Delgado, a professional bounty hunter tough enough to be called a “body bagger.” Things take a turn for him when the teenage daughter he never knew he had turns up on his doorstep, hoping to reconnect with the father she lost long ago.

    Filming to start this fall.

    The film is a drama about a family of four, in which each member has unique characteristics. Bong says that, despite the title, the film does not include either parasites or alien creatures.

    To be released in 2019, this will be Bong Joon-ho's first Korean-language film since Mother (2009).

    I haven't seen the first one yet. I have to get on that.

    Full Trailer for Peppermint

    This doesn't look too bad. A bit heavy on the melodrama but the action at least is enticing.
