Netflix Continues To Punish The Competition

June 10, 2015 by Arnaldo Reyes Leave a Comment

netflixlogoWith the increasing amount of “cord cutters” (I am myself joining that fray real soon), the battle for scooping up that market is becoming a one-horse race recently. With its foray and concentration to original programming and a low affordable streaming rate, Netflix has blazed a trail that others are trying to keep up with. More notably, the returning Orange Is the New Black has received countless awards and allows viewers to binge watch a whole season without having to wait for drawn out episodes spanning over several months. House of Cards has also made its mark on the consumer and, just recently, Marvel TV teamed up with Netflix and released the already popular and acclaimed Daredevil series as part of Marvel’s growing cinematic universe.

It’s quite a lineup that Netflix has going for it but there is more to come. Original movie are set to follow their original series. They’ve recently reached a deal with Weinstein Co. for the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and now have announced an exclusive movie deal with Brad Pitt to make War Machine. They also have a pact with Adam Sandler for four original movies. Needless to say, their stock is at an all-time high. These plans are making Netflix the front runner in streaming media and one can clearly see more down the road.

Back on the “TV series” side, Netflix had already acquired the rights for Fuller House reuniting the cast of Full House and have now picked up the just recently cancelled Degrassi: Next Class, keeping the long-running Canadian teen drama alive. Also, there are reports that the creators of Top Gear are leaving BBC and reuniting for an exclusive new car show series for Netflix (I don’t care for rumors but this seems to be picking up steam).

On top of that, Marvel fans can rejoice with the official announcement that Joe Bernthal (Walking Dead, Fury) has been cast as fan favorite Frank Castle aka The Punisher for season 2 of Daredevil. That leaves some credibility to rumors that Marvel and Netflix have plans for Blade and possibly Ghost Rider as well. Also, the next series in the Marvel/Netflix slate has gotten a name change dropping the “AKA” and strictly calling it Marvel’s Jessica Jones. Let’s not forget, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and a Defenders series are also already confirmed and in the mix.

That is tons of news, and I’m sure I’ve probably missed some, so leave us some feedback and let us know what you are more excited about from Netflix. And leave us suggestions as well!

May 28, 2015 by Arnaldo Reyes 1 Comment

StarWars_AndySerkisEver since Andy Serkis was cast for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, many have been wondering who he will play. All that wonder is over as the folks over at StarWars.com have revealed it along with an exclusive Vanity Fair photo (seen above) of Serkis in his motion-capture garb.

Andy Serkis will be playing the role of Supreme Leader Snoke. We still don’t have many details, but at least fans can now fill the interwebs with ideas about who this leader is and what “stuff” he’s actually been through.

What do you think? Are you excited to see what the character will be like and how Serkis brings him to life?

Joking Around – New Images from Set of Suicide Squad

May 28, 2015 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

The Squad is on the move.

In Suicide Squad, director David Ayer tells the story of a team of super villains, which includes DC characters Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), who are ordered by a government agency to work together or else. Of course, there is one character within the team that is making waves over the internet already–the iconic villain, The Joker (Jared Leto), returns to the screen. While not much is known about Squad’s story other than this context, filming of this highly-anticipated, action tentpole continues around the streets of Toronto.

And ScreenFish was there.

Taken last night, we have some clear views of the Joker’s new Lamborghini as the crew films some stunt work. While stars Jared Leto and Margo Robbie weren’t on the set, we did get some exclusive footage of their stunt team showing Joker’s escape through the streets of Gotham in his custom vehicle.

Suicide Squad will be released August 5, 2016 and is directed by David Ayer.

Star Wars Rogue One: Stars Announced

May 13, 2015 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

rogue oneHere’s a little bit of Star Wars news to satiate you until the next trailer is released (and we can endlessly pick it apart for clues to the real thing). However, it’s not for The Force Awakens.

Per Variety, the director of Star Wars: Rogue One, Gareth Edwards, has announced some casting for the film that’s set to debut on December 16th, 2016. We already knew Felicity Jones and Riz Ahmed were going to be in lead roles, but we’ve now learned that Diego Luna (Y tu mamá también) will play the role of a rebel fighter in the film. Ben Mendelsohn (The Dark Knight Rises; Bloodline) will play the main villain.

So far, Edwards has mentioned that the plot will involve the acquisition of the Death Star plans by the Rebellion. The film will take place between Episodes III and IV, but will be closer to the latter.

The struggle between good and evil will be quite interesting if Edwards can pull off the delicate balancing act of re-bridging the prequels to the main trilogy.

To get caught up, here’s AMC’s Movie Talk on what Rogue One means:

First Look at CBS Supergirl

May 13, 2015 by Arnaldo Reyes Leave a Comment

supergirlWhen it was first announced that CBS was taking on the pilot for Supergirl, I was shocked. Considering the CW’s success with Smallville, Arrow, and The Flash, one would have thought that Supergirl would fit in right with them (especially since it would be a female-led show). However, CW passed and CBS decided to get in on the comic book phenomenon and today they give us our first look.

It’s a long trailer, but we are able to get the feel of the show. One thing is for certain, it is not completely aimed at the comic book community as a whole. Most male fans probably won’t tune and I can see actual Supergirl fans (male and female) ignore it, too. But if CBS can capture their 2 Broke Girls fans to tune in, this show will succeed.

It is definitely a coming-of-age show that will fall under comedy with some action thrown in. Can Melissa Benoist carry a show on her own? Although she was on Glee, it didn’t seem like the new crop of cast that she was a part of captured the magic of the original cast.

So, what did you think?
