  First official picture of Liam Neeson in The Minuteman:
  
  
  
  A rancher on the Arizona border becomes the unlikely defender of a young Mexican boy desperately fleeing the cartel assassins who've pursued him into the U.S.
  
  Apologies for the double post, but a new Neeson action flick is deserving of its own post.

  He's certainly looking sharp and capable there, as usual. Neeson vs. a cartel, I cannot wait for this one.

  That looks like it would make a great double feature together with Rambo Last Blood. There is a theatre in my town that every now and then has a programme called, 'film and psycho-analysis'. They already did Dirty Harry. I should suggest these two films :-)).

  A pity on the one hand, because Hugo Weaving should be in every film, not just Matrix films. On the other hand, his character appeared quite often in the Matrix trilogy, so one could argue he´s had his time ;-).

  That trailer teaser for Fast 9 looks like melodrama. Well at least in the context of the franchise.
  
  
  Didn´t someone remake The Thing a few years ago already?

  The best Uncharted film I've seen is the opening sequence in The Mummy with Tom Cruise.

  They can never be too old, given that all the previous sequels constantly developed everything further. I already can´t stop my imagination. The only possible problem could be the rest of the cast. It could be awkward if none of the constantly growing family would be involved. But after BB for Life everything seems possible.

  It is strange these days to read of actors joining a film and that film being due for release in less than a year.

  Exactly. David Lynch giving us something like that was the disappointment, regardless of how it compares to the book.

  That is exciting news, but what´s even more interesting is the mention of the ten-part series Gangs of London.
