    "In Secret" Poster Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac, Tom Felton & Jessica Lange

    Based on Émile Zola’s scandalous novel, Thérèse Raquin, IN SECRET is a tale of obsessive love, adultery and revenge set in the lower depths of 1860s Paris. Therese (Elizabeth Olsen of "Martha Marcy May Marlene"), a sexually repressed beautiful young woman, is trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille (Tom Felton of the “Harry Potter” franchise), by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin (two-time Academy Award winner Jessica Lange). Therese spends her days confined behind the counter of a small shop and her evenings watching Madame play dominos with an eclectic group. After she meets her husband's alluring childhood friend, Laurent (Oscar Isaac of “Inside Llewyn Davis”), she embarks on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences.

    Official Poster For "The Right Kind Of Wrong"

    Leo Palamino has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic... An idealist. A dreamer. And to dream big, impossible dreams you can’t listen to the people who tell you that’s what those dreams are.

    It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wife Julie to blog about Leo’s flaws as their relationship broke down. A blog... called Why You Suck that would become a cultural phenomenon. And so when we meet Leo Palamino, he is a romantic dreamer, a dedicated writer, a dishwasher in a tourist trap, and a celebrity...

    A man famous for his flaws.

    Then one afternoon, as the very dejected Leo watches Julie being interviewed on a talk show about her upcoming book, he lays eyes on the woman of his (impossible) dreams... COLETTE is on her way into a wedding across the street from Leo’s house.

    Her wedding.

    Sort Of New Poster For "Paddington"

    Loved Paddington Bear as a kid so I'm pretty excited they are working on a film version. Interesting that the studio is comparing the project to E.T. in the synopsis released last year; this either sets unreachable expectations for Paddington or sets a foundation for a brilliant marketing campaign.

    Below is a sort of new poster. Same image as the one released last year but the previous version featured no actors and read "The Adventure Is About To Begin" and "Arriving 2014" Maybe not such brilliant marketing after all...

    From the producer of HARRY POTTER, a modern take on the iconic and beloved adventures of Paddington bear, translated into 40 languages worldwide.

    Adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved books, PADDINGTON tells the story of a polite young bear from Peru with an endearing talent for comic chaos, who arrives in London in search of a home.

    Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to cook marmalade, listen to the BBC World Service, and dream of an exciting life in London.  When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides the time has come to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life.  Trusting of the kindness of strangers, she ties a label round his neck which simply reads ‘Please look after this bear.  Thank you.’

    Lost and alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that London is not the welcoming, well-mannered land of his dreams, but a rather busy, bustling metropolis where nobody even notices him.  Luckily, he meets the Brown family who feel unable to abandon this homeless young bear to his fate.  They name him after the station where they found him and offer him a place to stay while he searches for the only person he knows in London: the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy years before.

    But little do the Browns realize just how much comic mayhem one young bear will bring to their family life, and when this rarest of bears catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – is under threat…

    Following in the footsteps of E.T., Paddington tells the universal tale of an outsider trying to find his place in the world – and gives it an exuberant comic twist.  Like Mr. Bean, Paddington promises to delight and enchant the whole family.

    Wonder Woman Lynda Carter Hands Off The Lasso To Gal Gadot

    When Man Of Steel 2 went from Batman Vs Superman to a loose take on a Trinity film with the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, I was hoping we would here from Lynda Carter. She is basically the Christopher Reeve of the character.

    The actress kicked ass in short star spangled shorts on TV from 1975 to 1979. The METRO caught up with the actress who was gracious in passing the lasso off to Gal Gadot.

    On The Everlasting Appeal Of Wonder Woman:

    "There's an identification factor. She's not your average superhero. It's not so much about her super powers as it is about her ethic. I always thought of her as a figure who stands for what's right. We all know what's wrong with the world today, so maybe we need her right now."

    On Somebody Playing Wonder Woman Other Than Herself:

    "I don't think so. It was a long time ago. I care more about the character continuing than holding on to my piece of it. I hope she has fun with it."

    On Sharing The Screen With Batman & Superman:

    "And maybe that's better. She won't have to carry the whole film. It takes the pressure off. I wish her well. I'm just glad she's going to be out there again. Maybe she'll get her own show again."

    First Look At Brandon Routh's "Superman: Flyby" Screen Test

    With Man Of Steel becoming a high flying box office success and Henry Cavill at the forefront of The Brothers Warner reimagining of the Superman mythos, I am sure some of have forgotten about Superman Returns and the previous owner of the red cape, Brandon Routh.

    Routh's career didn't necessarily soar after Superman Returns, but the actor is set for the rest of his life financially and is doing what he loves, acting. I personally thought he was solid in the role of Superman/Clark Kent and was looking forward to more, but am more than pleased I was able to enjoy two different Superman films in the past 8 years.

    The career paths of Cavill and Routh are forever intertwined since both screen tested for the role of Superman during McG's Superman: Flyby pre-production in 2004. When that project unraveled Bryan Singer cast Brandon Routh in Superman Returns and Henry Cavill ended up as Superman years later in Man Of Steel. Can you imagine a world where the roles were reversed? Think about it.

    We already gave you a glimpse at Henry Cavill's Superman: Flyby Screen Test and below is a shot from Brandon Routh's screen test. This screen shot gives us a more complete look at the suit. Note what looks like a red belt. The Flyby suit screams action figure and Routh certainly looks the part. The screen test was only months before his test for Superman Returns which you can compare and contrast below.

    Universal Doesn't Care What You Think "Bourne 5" - August 14, 2015 

    When I walked out of The Bourne Ultimatum in August of 2007 I was satisfied. I feel like my questions and those of Jason Bourne had been answered. Jason grew and changed and we grew and changed with him. It was the same feeling you had after a hearty Thanksgiving dinner; you were full and you were content. I had the same reaction to The Dark Knight Rises, I was contentment.

    Then Universal woke us up out of our tryptophan inspired slumber and released The Bourne Legacy. The TV spots and trailers featured some of the familiar characters of the Bourne universe, even randomly shouting out the name "Bourne", but featuring Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross. You really fooled us studio suits, we thought Jason Bourne was in it.

    You would think the lack of interest on the general public's behalf as evidenced by the average box office take, (113 Million + Domestically), would have been a red flag to the studio. Not so much. Universal has officially decided to bring back Aaron Cross for Bourne 5 on August 15th 2015, our lack of interest be damned.

    It's nothing against Renner, the guy is a really solid actor, sometimes you just need to leave it alone.  I would have rather they just recast Bourne with Jeremy Renner, similar to what they are doing with Ben Affleck in Batman Vs Superman but they don't give me a corner office in Hollyweird.

    Dalton To Rip Out Somebody's Throat Again In "Road House" Remake

    Road House is a guilty pleasure. It's cheesy. It's corny. It's badass.

    It was the late 80's, so lines like "Pain don't hurt." & "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.", gave you goosbumps and were quoted to your teachers under your breath. When Patrick Swayze aka Dalton ended up ripping a man's throat out during a fight scene you didn't question the logistics of it you simply celebrated the badassery. Now MGM wants you to enjoy the table smashing, throat mashing, bar battle royal all over again.

    Rob Cohen (The Fast And The Furious) has been hand the camera to shoot the Michael Stokes script is a reimagining of the original about a bouncer with an indecipherable past who is hired to wage against the dunker population in a small town Missouri bar.

    I can see Dwayne Johnson taking on this roll but he might be a little too intimidating. Might need somebody like Chris Pine or Jeremy Renner in the role to sell it.

    New "Fast & Furious 7" Images Remind Us Dwayne Johnson Is Massive

    Most everybody I know has Twitter. From the four-year-old genius in the making tooling on his mother's pink iPhone 5c to the entire blue haired bingo team at Shady Pines, Twitter is everywhere. Not many people have a Twitter account like Dwayne Johson though. Almost 6 Million Followers and he's following nobody, not any of his famous actor friends, not even the President. So when Johjnson tweets, people are retweeting.

    The powers that be behind Fast & Furious 7 are taking advantage of "The Behemoth Formerly Known As The Rock's" high profile Twitter status just like Hercules before it. See the photos below as Johnson hints at a return of his character Hobbs and an epic battle between himself and Jason Statham.

    “I didn’t bring the cavalry.. I AM the cavalry” – #HobbsTheBeast #FastAndFurious7 Call action…

    Olympic Gold medalist, UFC/WWE Champs & lunatics – I’ve fought ‘em all. This was fun. #FastAndFurious #RockVsStatham
