]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2018 22:49:54 GMT https://movieweb.com/joker-movie-cast-brett-cullen-thomas-wayne/ Alec Baldwin is not going to star as Thomas Wayne in the upcoming Joker origin movie. News recently broke that Baldwin was set to play the father of Bruce Wayne, the young man who ultimately becomes Batman in the DC universe after his parents are gunned down in an alley, in the Warner Bros. production, which has Joaquin Phoenix on board in the title role. Now, in a pretty quick turn of events, Baldwin says that he's no longer doing the movie.

]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2018 23:30:25 GMT https://movieweb.com/joker-movie-alec-baldwin-exits/ The upcoming Joker origin movie has added yet another impressive member to its growing cast. Alec Baldwin has signed on to play Thomas Wayne, the father of Bruce Wayne, the young boy who ultimately goes on to become Batman in the world of DC after his father is gunned down in an alley. The project is set to begin production in two weeks under the direction of Todd Phillips, who previously helmed The Hangover trilogy. He co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver (8 Mile).

]]> Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:14:04 GMT https://movieweb.com/joker-movie-cast-alec-baldwin-thomas-wayne/ Back in January 2015, we reported that Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon had signed on to join Matt Damon in director Alexander Payne's Downsizing, which was ironically the second time she had boarded the project. The movie was originally set up back in 2009, but it never moved forward. Today we have a report from Deadline that Reese Witherspoon has dropped out once again due to scheduling conflicts, with Kristen Wiig set to take her place.

When that will actually happen hasn't been announced. But director Tim Burton has confirmed that the long-anticipated sequel has finally gotten the green light at Warner Bros. and the cast is firmly in place. As he's stated in the past, he will definitely be back in the driver's seat. This is what he had to say in a recent interview with ShowBIzSpy.

]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:45:04 GMT https://movieweb.com/beetlejuice-2-green-light-michael-keaton-winona-ryder/ Concussion focuses on an important topic. But is it the movie people want to see on Christmas Day? Perhaps it will pull in NFL fans, and it could garner a few Oscar nominations. But this is not the feel good family movie you and your family will want to sit and enjoy this holiday season. As the second trailer teases, Concussion is going to weigh heavily on your brain. This drama stars Will Smith and is based on a true story that delves into NFL brain trauma.

]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2015 23:08:49 GMT https://movieweb.com/concussion-movie-trailer-2-will-smith-nfl/ Beetlejuice 2 is without a doubt happening, though Warner Bros. has not issued a start date or a release for this highly-anticipated sequel which will see the return of the Ghost with the Most, originated by Michael Keaton. In previous interviews over the course of the last two years, actors Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, as well as director Tim Burton, have all confirmed they will return. But we haven't ever heard from the rest of the original cast. Until now. It seems Geena Davis is very open to returning.

]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2015 22:21:04 GMT https://movieweb.com/beetlejuice-2-geena-davis/ The NFL probably isn't going to like this. But it's a topic that must be discussed, and what better forum than a crowded movie theater on Christmas morning. Sure there will be plenty of fun movies opening on December 25. But with the NFL season really heating up, a lot of fans are going to want to go behind the scenes of one of the more controversial issues. Concussion stars Will Smith and is based on a true story as it delves into NFL brain trauma. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for this important topic.

]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2015 14:49:29 GMT https://movieweb.com/concussion-movie-trailer-will-smith/ Ever since the original Beetlejuice hit theaters way back in 1988, die-hard fans have been demanding a sequel. In recent years, we've been getting closer than ever to Beetlejuice 2 coming to fruition, with screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith revealing back in January that the movie sequel may start filming by the end of this year. Michael Keaton has long been confirmed to come back as the title character, with Tim Burton set to direct, but we haven't heard anything definitive about his original Beetlejuice co-stars, such as Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Winona Ryder. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night, Winona Ryder confirmed that she is in fact coming back for Beetlejuice 2 as Lydia Deetz.

]]> Tue, 11 Aug 2015 16:52:06 GMT https://movieweb.com/bettlejuice-2-winona-ryder/ After two straight weeks atop the box office, Marvel's Ant-Man will surely be dethroned this weekend, with the arrival of two new releases, Paramount's Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation and New Line Cinema's Vacation. Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation will easily take the top spot, somewhere in the low $50 million range, in its first week in theaters. The fifth installment of the lucrative Mission: Impossible franchise is heading into theaters with a strong wave of critical buzz, with a 93% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Even though Vacation debuted on Wednesday, and the reviews haven't been favorable (25% "Rotten" rating), it should still easily take the second place spot.

]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2015 17:37:32 GMT https://movieweb.com/box-office-mission-impossible-5-vacation-movie-2015/ Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation has crisp action and pacing, but suffers from a slightly nonsensical plot. It's likely that the script was written around the action pieces. While any movie this fantastic needs suspension of disbelief, there's a point in the story where everything could have been wrapped up neatly. But then you'd have a seventy-minute film without the explosive climax. Tom Cruise, who hasn't aged in a decade, will thrill audiences with his death defying stunts. Hanging from airplanes, pummeling Euro baddies bare chested, hurtling through Morocco on motorcycles; this latest installment is a clear testament to Cruise's viability as an action star.

]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2015 14:46:10 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-review/ You want to see more of Mission: Impossible 5? We got a whole lot more! Paramount Pictures has released 3 featurettes, 2 new clips, 6 TV spots and a look at the Vienna premiere for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, with just seven days left until this action movie hits theaters on July 31. The first clip features a closer look at one of the scenes we've seen in practically every trailer, the daring E-brake maneuver pulled off by Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt, while a frantic Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) loses his cool in the passenger seat. What we haven't seen before from this sequence is Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa drawing some of the enemy motorcyclists away from Ethan and Benji, before Hunt takes out two enemies with one precise move.

]]> Sat, 25 Jul 2015 00:34:06 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-clips-chase/ Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation hits theaters in less than two weeks, so to get fans ready for all of the intense action on the big screen, Paramount Pictures has released a slew of new photos. Some of these images tease the death-defying plane stunt that Tom Cruise pulls off in this action-thriller, where he is strapped to a moving cargo plane as it takes off into the sky. After scaling the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, the actor has truly taken his stunts to, literally, new heights.

]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:49:09 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-photos-tom-cruise/ Actor Alex Rocco, best known for playing mobster Moe Green in the 1972 classic The Godfather, passed away on Saturday in his Studio City, California home at the age of 79. The actor's stepson, Sean Doyle, confirmed to The Los Angeles Times that the actor passed away after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. The actor's long career spanned 50 years, with over 150 TV and film credits.

]]> Mon, 20 Jul 2015 16:47:42 GMT https://movieweb.com/alex-rocco-dead-rip-obituary/ Tom Cruise is still alive and well, and living the highlife somewhere in California as he awaits the theatrical debut of his latest action-packed sequel Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. But, as a new featurette proves, just one wrong move or split second decision gone wrong could have twisted this happy-ending scenario in the opposite direction. A sneak peek at the stunts seen in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation proves that Tom Cruise went to the edge of death in bringing Ethan Hunt back to the big screen. And that makes for one of the most breathless, jaw-dropping action spectacles of the summer!

]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2015 22:59:11 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-stunts-featurette/ Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation didn't have any presence at this weekend's Comic-Con, with Paramount opting to sit this year out. But they have deployed a neat tactic, by releasing a cool 40 second TV spot on the last day of the Con, just so you don't forget that the movie is coming out at the end of this month. And boy, what a video! It combines a lot of the footage from the previous Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation TV spots, giving us nothing but pure, unfiltered action, and it's glorious!

]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2015 21:46:19 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-tv-spot-stunts/ Following the three Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation TV spots released earlier this week, Paramount Pictures has debuted two new clips featuring a pair of epic chase sequences. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, who is seen alongside tech specialist Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) in one of the scenes, which we've seen part of in the trailer, where Ethan takes out a pair of gun-toting motorcyclists with a simple e-brake maneuver. The second clip shows Ethan on a motorcycle of his own, weaving through highway traffic while trying to dodge more nefarious pursuers.

]]> Fri, 03 Jul 2015 20:18:31 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-clips-motorcycle-chase/ Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt learns why the Syndicate has been so hard to find in the first of three new TV spots from Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. The video reveals that the Syndicate is comprised of IMF agents who were already thought to be dead, along with more footage of Tom Cruise hanging off a moving plane, in what may be his most daring stunt yet. Each new TV spot and trailer we see features the actor/daredevil hanging off the plane at a higher altitude then the next, but it remains to be seen how high up Ethan Hunt gets before actually "boarding" the plane.

]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2015 00:01:02 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-tv-spots/ Paramount Pictures and Skydance today announced that five minutes of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation will debut exclusively in IMAX theatres one month prior to its theatrical release.

This footage gives us an extended look at Tom Cruise's death-defying plane stunt, and more insight into how The Syndicate operates, essentially setting them up for a big fall. If this trailer is any indication, Mission: Impossible 5 could surely be the most action-packed movie in the storied Mission Impossible franchise.

]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2015 18:37:17 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-trailer-international/ Following the Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation trailer that debuted yesterday, Paramount has released even more footage from the action-thriller in the latest TV spot. This video includes new scenes showing how Alec Baldwin's character clearly isn't a fan of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team, along with tech specialist Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and new addition Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson) all going to work. We also get another glimpse at the underwater sequence first shown in yesterday's trailer, and, from a recent interview, Tom Cruise reveals exactly how long he had to hold his breath underwater for these grueling action set pieces in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. Take a look at what the actor had to say:

We also get a more extensive look at Tom Cruise's death-defying stunt, where he is seen hanging on for dear life as a cargo plane takes off.

]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:28:37 GMT https://movieweb.com/mission-impossible-5-rogue-nation-trailer-3/ Following the new Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation photos released earlier this week, Paramount Pictures has released six new character posters from the sequel.

These images also feature Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn and new cast member Alec Baldwin, who is administering what appears to be a lie detector test to Benji. With the July 31 release just two months away, hopefully we'll get at least one more trailer and even more images from this highly-anticipated action-packed sequel.

Aside from the first trailer released back in February, we haven't seen much from director Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy, but with the May 29 release date exactly one month away, we can be sure to see even more footage. This scene features Brian reuniting with his ex-girlfriend Tracy (Rachel McAdams), as he casually mentions that he can't remember why they broke up, which leads to Tracy giving him a brief refresher about the events that transpired.

Kirk in Star Trek, relaunching the franchise with a series of new sci-fi adventures that reimagine that entire universe, he was unable to reboot Jack Ryan as a viable film series. Released in early 2014, it only earned $50.5 million domestically off a $60 million budget. Its not one of the biggest bombs of the year, as it recouped globally, bringing in a worldwide total of $135.5 million. But there just wasn't enough interest in this version of the espionage thriller. And it disappeared quite quickly and quietly. While it made money overseas, Chris Pine doesn't think a sequel will happen. And he holds it as one of his biggest regrets.
