The Rhythm Section is the upcoming action thriller based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Mark Burnell. Blake Lively stars as Stephanie Patrick, an ordinary woman on a path of self-destruction after her family is tragically killed in a plane crash. When Stephanie discovers that the crash was not an accident, she enters a dark, complex world to seek revenge on those responsible and find her own redemption.
Those Angry Birds are back, except only not in a new potential fun game but rather in another derivative movie that is likely to be a lot less fun.
The Predator opens on a starscape of swirling gasses and pinpricks of lights that immediately reminded me of 1980s film studio Orion’s title sequence. That awesome nostalgic reverie is quickly forgotten though as two alien spaceships, sleek silvery shapes realized in shiny CGI, blast into frame noisily as they engage in an intergalactic dogfight. Watching it at the time, little did I know I had just seen a very apt summation of the discordant film to come.
The Predator is a chance to really up the stakes and spill some blood. It’s not violence for the sake of violence, but rather a key factor in setting the mood of the film.
A hybrid between intense world-building action films like John Wick and Atomic Blonde and claustrophobic, dystopian futures like Dredd 3D, Hotel Artemis will either be an instant cult-classic or instantly slip into obscurity.
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
After being in production for what felt like ages, we finally have a proper look at Shane Black's The Predator with the first official trailer for the latest installment in the long-running sci-fi franchise.
Hotel Artemis is the upcoming sci-fi action/crime thriller from Iron Man 3 and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation scribe Drew Pearce. Set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, Jodie Foster plays The Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals.
