Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow is about Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlett Johansson, in her quests between the films Civil War and Infinity Wars.
Ned Benson and Jac Schaeffer co-wrote the screenplay based on Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Don Rico comic books.
Rachel Weisz and David Harbour play critical roles in the movie – Weisz as Melina Vostokoff and Harbour as Alexei Shostakov and Red Guardian.
Weisz’s most recent role was in The Favourite, and she is married to James Bond, Daniel Craig. David Harbour played the Sheriff in Stranger Things and played Hellboyin the remake.
Black Widow is Shortland’s first major movie, though it looks like she directed a couple of arthouse movies.
Not a lot of information about the movie, so we watch the trailer to figure out what is happening in the story. It looks like the Black Widow goes home and spends time with her family.
The TV spot is 90 seconds long, almost the length of a trailer, and it contains what is in the above trailer and a little bit more.
I am impressed with these presentations, and I am hoping for a great movie.
The poster shows the movie is a parody of superheroes, or at least, the movie is about an anti-superhero.
Directed by David Yarovesky, who brought us, Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither draws our attention to a new genre he’s started called “Superhero Horror.”
Not for the weak heart who dreams of Superman and Captain America, a child, played by Jackson A. Dunn, from another world crash-landed on Earth. A couple, played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman, adopt him, and instead of becoming a hero to humanity, he proved to be something far more sinister.
Horror fans will go crazy over this movie, and they’ll demand a sequel after sequel. With that, I warn you to be careful when you watch the movie trailer. The ending is similar to The Prodigy trailer.
The movie is scripted by cousins Mark and Brian Gunn, who may relate very well to the producer James Gunn. The Gunn cousin’s credits include quite a bit of episodic TV shows.
The rest of the cast looks strong, including Matt Jones and Meredith Hagner.
The second trailer is much better and scarier, and it shows us a lot of what happens in the movie. That is good, and that is bad. It is good because we can see it is a blood-curdling horror movie. When his eyes turn red, oh boy, lookout, it is bad because we know what happens in the movie. Spoilers!
The “Indestructible” movie clip shows Brandon discovering his alien talents. The look on his face says it all, “Look out, world, here comes an evil superhero.”
I’ve included the Elizabeth Banks soundbites because she articulates the story so well. She understands this movie and knows what it means to create a horror-superhero movie. She shares with us what it’s like to work with Yarovesky.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel follows Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in a galactic war between two alien races.
Brie Larson is from my hometown and an Oscar winner for the movie Room, which I highly recommend. She works hard at her craft and believes in the roles she plays.
Captain Marvel is not the first film Boden and Fleck collaborated on. Half-Nelson, starring Ryan Gosling, is their first movie. It is about a drug addict teacher whom a student discovers. Boden and Fleck collaborated on other short films. All are garnering their nominations and awards, including Half-Nelson. Please scroll down and watch their interview about directing the latest Marvel movie.
Taking on a blockbuster movie production such as Captain Marvel is a bold but exciting move for these two crackerjacks. Boden wrote the screenplay with the help of over half a dozen other writers.
The second trailer is much better and tells the story of Larson’s character, which I like and find refreshing. The first trailer is farther down and just as fun to watch.
Also cast in the movie is an impressive talent such as Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, and Annette Bening.
Larson worked out for nine months before shooting the film. She immersed herself in the role, which included super jets.
The three movie clips give us a feel for how the movie flows. I can’t tell if Jude Law’s character is a good or bad guy yet. Only time will tell, but I hope he’s a good guy.
It’s leaning toward Law’s character being a good guy because it looks like they are having fun. A playful fight scene like this doesn’t move the plot along. I hope the plot is exciting and not a typical superhero story.
Jude Law talks about what it means to be in a Marvel movie and how it influences the box office. He refers to all the Marvel movies interloping in each other’s movies. He dressed down for the red carpet premiere, and I like it. He seems to understand the superhero movie-making process.
In the following movie clip, we don’t get a good look at the bad guy. From what I see, he seems innocuous without the mean kicks.
From 15 interviews available on my YouTube Channel, I picked these two interviews for here. One is with the directors, and the other with Brie Larson. I chose these two interviews because the directors explain how they approached the topic to make an authentic movie. In Larson’s interview, she talks about how hard she physically trained for this role.
The featurette about the cast is pretty simple and doesn’t indicate anything new about Marvel. The camaraderie is evident and a pleasure to see during the quick cuts to the different actors. It looks like an excellent movie for popcorn entertainment.
This is an excellent interview with Samuel L. Jackson about working with Larson and Gregg again. He talks about how this Marvel movie is different than the rest. His character, Nick, is younger in this Marvel movie because it takes place in the 1990s.
The world premiere of Captain Marvel included an Air Force fly to acknowledge Carol’s Air Force background in the movie. Two interviews with Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson at the world premiere recognize the Air Force and the young men who protect our country.
I like Jackson more and more. This guy rocks. He is so comfortable in front of the camera, unforgettable.
I am including Pinar Toprak’s soundbites regarding her music composing. She discusses her journey from presenting a demo to creating the theme song. Anyone who loves movies will appreciate this interview.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, who helmed movies like Zombieland and Gangster Squad, the movie’s storyline took some time to become fully available. The overall story is amazing with Tom Hardy adding his dynamic talent. You can watch the trailer and get a feel for what is happening in Venom. Each trailer gradually tells about the story, and it is cool to watch as it unfolds.
You might recall Venom in the Spider-man comics. Comic book fans will tell you that Venom arrived on the streets in 1993 with Lethal Protector. David Micheline wrote the limited series and Mark Bagley, Ron Lim, and Sam DeLarosa designed the art.
In the comic book story, it is understood that Venom turns into a complete anti-hero. Heading to San Francisco, Venom and Spider-man team up and fight some villains. My curiosity wanted to know if the movie followed the comic books. After watching the movie trailer, I doubted it, which was correct.
The first poster from the top shows a sinister and very dark character. The second poster shows Tom Hardy’s transformation. The movie is streaming now or available on Blu-ray and DVD.
One thing is for sure, the movie is about one of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and distinctly threatening superheroes to ever come to the comic world. Hardy stars as the destructive protector called Venom.
Michelle Williams, and Riz Ahmed star alongside Brady. At what capacity their roles are, there is no word as of yet, though in the trailer there is an indication Williams plays a former girlfriend. It seems the overall storyline is hush-hush, which is written by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel.
The fourth trailer is three minutes long with a full-length frame of Venom. He is wicked and totally anti-superhero.
The second trailer is scary, like a horror movie. Tom Hardy is good as the reluctant anti-hero. The Venom looks a lot like the alien in Aliens. I just don’t like that tongue.
I wanted to post both the green and red trailers, but the red one is blocked for now. I will post it as soon as the production company allows me to do so.
With that, Kingsman: The Golden Circle looks like a fun movie with enough wry humor to keep the edge off of another superhero movie.
I am curious about Sir Elton John’s appearance in the movie as well. I hope he has enough screen time to make the viewing worthwhile.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, who directed the last Kingsman, the trailer pretty much tells the story as we follow a young protege becomes a part of the independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe.
In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, our heroes, played by a stellar cast of Oscar winners, face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both established. In a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for
The trailer shows the usual green screen effects claiming a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world.
There are two green trailers but both are different.
Directed by Chris McKay, the release of The Batman Lego Movie is proving that Legos are still in the saucy spirit of fun and a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – Lego Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure.
But big changes are brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from the Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others, and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Batman, lighten up? It’s hard to imagine.
The voices starring in this movie are Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, and Ralph Fiennes.
The trailer begins with a grim story and continues to worsen, but smiles and laughter appear toward the end. Almost titled Wolverine 3, Logan takes place in 2024. Mutant births are severely in decline, and people aren’t sure why.
A government-type operation is turning mutant children into killing machines. From this, Logan emerges as a mentor to a mutant girl with two claws instead of three. Marvel’s superhero movies are developing into a very supernatural human side, which is good to see.
Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Sienna Novikov star with direction by James Mangold. His impressive credits include Walk the Line, which he also co-wrote, The Wolverine, Cop Land, Girl, Interrupted, Knight and Day, and 2007 remake 3:10 to Yuma.
Check out the Super Bowl Ad. I love the song.
I like this trailer, and it appears this movie is nothing like the Marvel movies we’ve seen for some time. Tom Felton, Harry Potter alumni, is looking mighty fine all beefed up and ready to be the bad guy again.
I love Paul Stewart’s line, “She’s eleven, and I am fucking ninety.”
The trailers’ music with its tongue-in-cheek lines can assume Guardians of the Galaxy’s next installment, directed by James Gunn, will be just as silly and crazy as before. But this time, Star-Lord gets a girlfriend. Fun stuff all around, with a solid cast including Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Kurt Russell.
This is the real trailer…for now.
Comic-Con Experience 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, James Gunn, movie’s writer, and director, premiered the new Teaser Trailer for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
