Keanu Reeves was relatively quiet on the big screen front, but that all changes with the film 47 Ronin on the horizon. Reeves stars as the rejected half-breed named Kai, who the others eventually reach out to for help against otherworldly enemies.
Check out the trailer. 47 Ronin looks like it’ll be a fun martial art fantasy film. It hits theaters December 25, 2013.
Ben Affleck’s casting as Bruce Wayne/Batman has caused a lot of rage, and my knee-jerk reaction was close to that. The first thought in mind — and for many others — was the dreadful Daredevil movie Affleck was in. But that was 10 years ago. Affleck has arguably grew as an actor, and even more so, grew as a director.
Director Guillermo del Toro’s next project is the horror film, Crimson Peak. The haunted house will shelter the likes of Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam, and Burn Gorman.

After much waiting, the trailer for the remake of RoboCop was released. Directed by Jose Padilha, the film stars Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy, who becomes RoboCop, Gary Oldman as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Michael Keaton as the CEO of OmniCorp.
Vin Diesel was always passionate about the character Riddick. After Chronicles of Riddick, he produced video games on the character. And now, nine years after the sequel to Pitch Black, Diesel and writer/director David Twohy are bringing him back in the movie simply titled Riddick.
Director Ridley Scott’s next epic sci-fi is bringing Moses back on the big screen. By “sci-fi” I mean “biblical”, but “epic” stays because of the cast for Exodus.
Christian Bale stars as Moses. I really hope he uses his Batman voice to demand, “Let my people go!” and “Where is the promised land?”
My knee-jerk reaction to Ben Affleck being cast as Bruce Wayne (Batman) in the sequel to Man of Steel could be summed up with “What? Why?” The first thing that comes to mind is Daredevil, which isn’t exactly a notable comic book movie.
