    Bourne 5 Will Be A Continuation of Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne’s Story, But Sequel to Jeremy Renner’s The Bourne Legacy Film Still a Go

    Bourne 5 Will Be A Continuation of Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne’s Story, But Sequel to Jeremy Renner’s The Bourne Legacy Film Still a Go Bourne 5 is still scheduled for release to theaters on July 15, 2016, according to an official announcement from Universal Pictures. However, that Bourne film will no longer be the follow-up movie to 2012's The Bourne Legacy which starred Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, another Treadstone agent. Instead, it will be a continuation of the original Jason Bourne saga which started with The Bourne Identity, followed by The Bourne Supremacy, then by The Bourne Ultimatum, which all starred Matt Damon. Bourne 5 was originally scheduled for an August 14, 2015, release but was reset because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so that the earlier date “could be used by Universal for Straight Outta Compton, the upcoming film about the rise and fall of gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A.” However, according to a June post by El Mayimbe at Latino-Review, “the reason Bourne 5 got pushed to July 15, 2016 is because Matt Damon is in fact back to play his signature role as Jason Bourne for director Justin Lin!” However, Matt Damon has not changed his mind that he won't play Jason Bourne again unless Paul Greengrassalso returns to direct, and they they have a good story to tell. Right now, Damon and Greengrass are in the process of developing a good story to tell. The fifth Bourne novel is entitled “The Bourne Betrayal” so most likely the Bourne 5 movie will also be called The Bourne Betrayal following the precedent set in the four earlier Bourne films which were all named after the books on which they were based on. In “The Bourne Betrayal” novel storyline, Jason Bourne will be seen going on an unexpected mission that will have him pitted against ruthless Islamic terrorists. Damon and Greengrass may also likely borrow some key elements from the book for their movie version given its relevance to the reality of present day concerns about the threat of the ISIS movements all across the globe. Even though Bourne 5 will now be a continuation of the original Jason Bourne story, the Jeremy Renner-starrer sequel to The Bourne Legacy movie is still a go as far as Universal is concerned, but it will be given a different release date. The film which is still at the development stage will be directed by Justin Lin, who is anyway currently still busy directing for the True Detectives TV series, based on a script to be written by Andrew Baldwin from a draft previously done by Anthony Peckham. Frank Marshall is producing with Jeffrey Weiner, Ben Smith and director Lin. In a talk with Crave Online, Renner confirmed that “it’s still moving. Yeah, it’s still moving. We have our director who’s actually run off to do the “True Detective” series right now, and then while that’s happening they’re finishing writing the script.”

    Luke Wilson to play Roger Goodell while Will Smith as Bennet Omalu in a film that tackles CTE in football players

    Luke Wilson to play Roger Goodell while Will Smith as Bennet Omalu in a film that tackles CTE in football players Luke Wilson, is said to be in negotiations to play Roger Goodell in a NFL movie about NFL’s concussion problem. The Legally Blonde star will star alongside Bad Boys Will Smith, who will play Bennet Omalu in the said movie. The film will be directed by award winning, Gladiator director, Ridley Scott.

The film would be based from a GQ article by Jeanne Marie Laskas titled “Game Brain”. Smith’s character is the neuropathologist who was the first one to diagnose on the first case related to CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) among professional football players. Mike Webster will be played by David Morse. Webster was an ex-Pittsburgh Steelers center, whose autopsy shows the appearance of CTE. NFL neurologist Joseph Maroon will be played by Howard. It has been speculated that Webster's ailments were due to wear and tear sustained over his playing career; some doctors estimated he had been in the equivalent of "25,000 automobile crashes" in over 25 years of playing football at the high school, college and professional levels. According to synopsis by Slash Film: “Wilson’s Goodell is the incoming NFL commissioner who reacts by convening a summit to investigate the medical matter. (GQ notes Omalu was not invited to the event.) Eventually Goodell comes to acknowledge the connection between football and CTE, and donates lots of money to scientific research.” Roger Goodell was the one who headlined the lawsuit regarding accusations made to the league of not doing any preventive measures for NFL players’ head injuries. The lawsuit was amicably settled at the sum of $756million. Watch out for more news and updates on this Luke Wilson and Will Smith starred movie.

  • Fury 2014
    Fury 2014 movie Release date: Intense Second World War Film Set for Release this Friday!

    Fury 2014 movie Release date: Intense Second World War Film Set for Release this Friday! Fury, the new movie by Brad Pitt, is said to be most extreme film ever made in the Second World War genre. Fury stars Brad Pitt as Sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier, Shia LaBeouf as Bible Swan, Logan Lerman as Cobb Ellison, Michael Pena as Gordo Garcia and Jon Bernthal as Coon-Ass Travis. The film is set during the last month of the European Theater of war during World War II in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push into Nazi Germany, a battle-hardened U.S. Army sergeant in the 2nd Armored Division named Wardaddy commands an M4A3E8 Sherman tank called "Fury" and its five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. According to Producer Bill Block, “Fury is not your grandfather’s war movie.” “It’s a different world from your usual war movie where we celebrate victorious campaigns like d-day or the Battle of The Bulge,” revealed by writer-director David Ayer, according to a report by Express.co.uk. Brad Pitt himself said about the Film 2014 film: “If our stuff wasn’t together we had to pay for it with physical forfeits. We’re up at five in the morning, we’re doing night watches on the hour.” “One of the forgotten time periods is this last gasp of the Nazi empire with an American army that has been fighting for years and is on its last reserves of manpower. Everybody knows the war is over. They’re fighting to the last man, woman and child. It’s really pointless and nobody wants to be killed in the last couple of weeks of a war. That’s what I’m trying to capture, that sense of tragedy and consequence which I feel so often is missing from these movies.” Fury movie release date is this Friday, October 17, 2014.

    Fantastic Four Reboot News and Updates: Comics Cancelled, while Reboot is a Go!

    Fantastic Four News and Updates: Comics Cancelled, while Reboot is a Go! Marvel seemed to have cancelled the Fantastic Four Comic release where it was announced by Marvel at the recent New York Comic Con. The cancellation perhaps can be explained because Marvel is prepping the quartet in future Avengers films. The Fantastic Four movie reboot line-up is expected to produce more films. It has been said that there would be a follow up by 2017, according to Deadline. Since the last two Fantastic Four movies were highly successful and the last released 7 years ago, will this convince the viewers that a Fantastic Four reboot would still be a hit? Considering Marvel pulling the plug on the Fantastic Four comics? Fans of the comics could help boost the popularity of the quartet. But, based on recent reports, the Fantastic Four Comic Book has been said to be selling below par. Fox took this cue to reformulate the Fantastic Four characters in the younger generation. Last month, an amicable settlement was made between the estate of Jack Kirby and Marvel over some royalties owed on Fantastic Four, Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, the original X-Men. Though the terms agreed was a discreet one, a joint statement was released: “Marvel and the family of Jack Kirby have amicably resolved their legal disputes, and are looking forward to advancing their shared goal of honoring Mr. Kirby’s significant role in Marvel’s history.” Both Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four movie release date is on August 7, 2015.

    NBA News: MVP Kevin Durant May Need To Undergo Surgery For Foot Fracture

    NBA News: MVP Kevin Durant May Need To Undergo Surgery For Foot Fracture Reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant will be out six to eight weeks with what is being described as a "Jones fracture" in his right foot, according to official league news. Sam Presti, Oklahoma City Thunder’s executive vice president and general manager, on Sunday said: "After practice yesterday, Kevin made us aware of discomfort in his right foot. We proceeded to perform the necessary imagining studies to determine the cause of his discomfort. At this stage, Kevin has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture. Traditional treatment of this injury requires a surgical procedure and recent NBA cases have resulted in a return to play in 6-8 weeks. We are in the process of collaboratively evaluating the most appropriate next steps with Kevin, his representatives, and Thunder medical personnel. Until a course of action is determined, we are unable to provide a timeline specific to Kevin's case." Durant will be the latest addition to the Thunder’s list of injured players which now already includes point guard Russel Westbrook who has a torn meniscus, rookie forward Mitch McGary who also has a fractured bone in his foot, and backup point guard Reggie Jackson who has an injured wrist. Durant averaged 20.8 field goals and 9.9 free throw attempts per game last season so his being out for the first two months of the season will be a major setback for the Thunder. The foot fracture is the first significant injury Durant, who missed only six games over the last five years, has ever suffered in his entire career. In related news, following being named NBA MVP, Durant was also chosen to be the NBA 2K15 cover athlete. Of course, the modest Durant told his fans in a Twitter message that “"I begged them to put me on the cover. I don't think anybody plays the game [@NBA2K] as much as I do. It's so authentic." -@KDTrey— NBA 2K 2K15 (@NBA2K) May 6, 2014.” Durant also made the cover of the 2K13 video game but back then, he shared the glory space with two others – Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose and Los Angeles’ Clippers’ Blake Griffin. On his Facebook page, the 25-year old proudly posted, “2 life goals in the same day! So grateful. #YourTimeHasCome #MVP # NBA 2K15 2K.” For more NBA news, NBA live streaming, as well as for the latest NBA Kevin Durant stats and other NBA Kevin Durant highlights, fans can visit ESPN, Rotoworld, among other sports sites.

    Kung Fu Panda 3 Movie Latest News; Potential Plot Rumours and Sneak Peek: Will Po go on a New Journey? The Kung Fu Panda movie franchise has been such a huge success that, in fact, a Kung Fu Panda 3 is now on its way. The news about an upcoming Kung Fu Panda sequel was just announced recently and as such there is not much information regarding the plot, release date and much less about the production of the much anticipated hit animated film. However, there are still a few rumours and speculations that have been going around these past few days to fill us up on what we could expect about the movie. For those who have seen the previous movie, you know that it ended with Po’s father realizing that he was still alive. Again, very little is known about this, but what is widely speculated is that Kung Fu Panda 3 will involve Po going on a journey to a new land. Additionally, fans are also very much looking forward to a possible addition of a new character—which, by this time, we still do not have any idea about. However, this just proves that there really is much to look forward to. With majority of the production keeping mum about it, we can only expect that the upcoming Kung Fu Panda 3 is going to be nothing short of its hit movie predecessors. Rumours are suggesting a Kung Fu Panda 3 release date on December 23, 2015. Until then!

Speculations and rumors about the game has been around too long that the game fans are getting exhausted. Yet, it’s recently reported that there’s a leak of new information that almost seems like a confirmation of the game. The latest news is that someone witnessed a number of concept art pieces of the rumored upcoming Half-Life 3, along with other pieces for the upcoming “Left 4 Dead 3” game. The said witness is Minh Lee, a former employee at Valve. Venture Capital Post reported the said latest news. Several sources are debating regarding the claim, stating that the supposed latest art may just be one of the first ones from the years back. Yet there’s another hope. In an interview with Washington Post, Valve founder Gabe Newell shared what seems like a hint of Half-Life 3 development: "When we started out we were a single-player video game company that could have been really successful just doing Half-Life sequel after Half-Life sequel, but we collectively said let's try to make multiplayer games even though there's never been a commercial successful multiplayer game." “Then we tried to do Steam. There were a bunch of people internally who thought Steam was a really bad idea, but what they didn't think was that they would tell the people who were working on Steam what to do with their time. They were like "that's what you want to do with your time, that's fine, but we're going to spend our time working on Half-Life 2. We think you're kind of wasting your time, but it's your time to waste.” Keep yourself posted for more Half-Life 3 updates.
