‘Power Rangers Reboot Details Revealed

ourtesy of Collider, sources close to the film have provided the names of the five protagonists in Power Rangers, along with a brief biography for each one. Check out the descriptions below, though do so with a grain of salt as nothing official has been confirmed yet.

Jason – 17 years old, the makings of someone or something great if he would just get out of his own way. Jason was a legend of this town—a freshman quarterback with the skills to take him all the way. People knew his name. Children wore his jersey. Until, one night Jason wrapped his car around a pole and busted out his knee. Everything Jason was going to become ended in an instant. And with it, he lost himself. When we meet him at the start of the film, he’s a kid in need of redemption. By the end, he’ll be leading this disparate group of teens to shed their individual baggage and find who they truly are.

Kimberly – 17 years old, unconventionally cool all in a way the popular girls wish they were. In fact, she was one of those girls, but isn’t anymore. Not since she’s returned to school after an absence of 6 months. Rumors are flying as to why; rumors she seems not to care about, because she’s come back with this new rebel-without-a-cause, edgy attitude. But the truth is, it’s all masking a deep secret that makes her feel profoundly vulnerable.

Trini – 17 years old, mysterious and extremely bright. Her parents constantly move for work, making Trini the perpetual new girl to any school. A loner who owns it, Trini is self-sufficient, contemplative, but always observant. All she wants is to find her gang of friends, but she’ll never admit it – least of all to herself.

Billy – 17 years old, slight and awkward. Billy is challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart and sweet, but always odd. Sometimes in a fun way, sometimes not, Billy is a kid with no filter. Showing his emotions, understanding sarcasm, and dealing with his OCD is a constant challenge. Has never really had any friends and instantly gravitates towards Jason.

Zack – 17 years old, always the life of the party. Filled with bravado and swagger, Zack’s tough and cool on the exterior. A charming guy who’s never had trouble with the one-liner, nor lacked confidence around women. A great athlete that’s never wanted to play on any team but his own. Zack advertises everything about himself, except the truth, which is that he lives in a trailer park with his single mom, and because of it, feels deeply inferior to all his peers.

Dungeons and Dragons reboot in development

The Wrap is reporting that Warner Bros. has (after a year-long legal struggle involving the rights) started development on a new Dungeons & Dragons film. Teaming up with Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment, WB will base the project on an existing script by David Leslie Johnson (Wrath of the Titans). Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis, along with Roy Lee (The LEGO Movie) and Courtney Solomon are attached to produce. The movie does not currently have a director.

Greg Silverman, Warner Bros. Pictures’ president of creative development and worldwide production, had the following to say:

“We are so excited about bringing the world of ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ to life on the big screen. This is far and away the most well-known brand in fantasy, which is the genre that drives the most passionate film followings. D&D has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property.

Stephen Davis, Hasbro’s executive vice president and chief content officer, confirmed that the film will be based on The Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

This is such an enormous opportunity to bring the rich fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms to life and, together with the creative powerhouse of Warner Bros., use movies to tell the stories that have enchanted passionate D&D fans for decades.”

the Crow reboot in Jeopardy floowing reletive media bancruptcy

According to THR, inside sources are claiming that pre-production on The Crow in the UK has stalled and an entire production team has left the project, along with several department heads. Sources also said that Relativity is currently preparing an official statement on the status of The Crow, though one insider said that Relativity “continue[s] to be excited” by the property.

Relativity has bigger problems right now, however. The company is currently filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to owing hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, and this week confirmed that 75 people – a fifth of Relativity’s total staff – have been laid off. The studio’s financial woes have obviously had an impact on its current projects, and the latest reports indicate that The Crow has been hit hard.

Green Lantern reboot ‘Green Lanter Corps’ update

Speaking with Collider, Tyrese Gibson addressed his potential involvement with Green Lantern, and though he could not offer any concrete updates, other than he has discussed the possibility with the powers that be at WB:

“I’ve already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we’ll see what happens. I do believe that there needs to be more black superheroes out there, but that’s not even my motivation. I think I would be the best Green Lantern and based on my fans and supporters that spent around $6 billion in box office receipts, I feel like there’s a fanbase of fans out there waiting to see me put on this green suit and do my thing. So I would love to confirm something today but I can’t. We’ll just keep following up.”

Martyrs remake planned for 2015

Martyrs is a special kind of movies and by that I mean that even for a die hard horror genre afficinado as myself, watching the fim, is like a insane, violent, bloody, almost obsene stress test that has gone horribly wrong.Let me explain it this way, the director said in an interview the most difficult part of the film was not the film itself or ever the special effects, but was in fact having to constantly keep the lead acctresses CRYING.   And this is being said by a person who has watched such films as All the Human Centipede films, The I spit on you grave remake and its sequel, and even the Siberian Filmand come out basically unscathed. It is also one of the first films to be associated with the fringe film making style affectionatily called “New French Extremity”  and includes such other pieces of “ultra violence” such asÀ l’intérieur, a.k.a. Inside“and “Frontiere(s)

I highly recommend all the aformentioned films, but only in moderation and only for the stong willed and those with stong stomachs and even stronger nerves.

Now come news that an american remake of the original Martyrs is currently being developed for an assumed 2015 release In February 2015 the new productions company’s Blumhouse Productions and The Safran Company announced that the movie was already filmed and that the Goetz Brothers, Michael and Kevin, had directed with the leads stars Bailey Noble, Troian Bellisario, Kate Burton and Blake Robbins.

Gremlins and Goonies reboots in development…??!

Columbus told ScreenCrush that he is “heavily developing” both a new Gremlins and Goonies film alike, but acknowledged that the process has been slow. He added:

“The stuff that I’m involved with — the Gremlins and Goonies reboots, for instance — they would do that without me. So, I’m staying involved just so I can be protective and actually protect what people love about those movies so it doesn’t go off track.”

Cube remake in development at Lionsgate

Cube, the independent minimalist scifi sleeper hit that launched the feature career of director Vincenzo Natali in 1997, has already been followed by a sequel and a prequel. Now. Lionsgate is setting up a Cube “re-imagining” from producers Roy Lee and Jon Spaihts, and relatively new filmmaker Saman Kesh is set to direct. The Cube reboot is currently called Cubed,

Using the original setup of seven strangers trapped in a giant cube-like structure, Cubed is described as a sci-fi survival thriller about artificial intelligence, humanity and the birth of a new “digital” race. – THR (source)
