The race to make a film about racing against race
Watch God's Not Dead Online Mexico, South Korea and the United Kingdom are all hot spots where the movie has made double-digit millions, but it's in China where the blockbuster is doing amazing abroad, making $39 million as of May 25th.So how exactly is X-Men: Days of Future Past doing against the previous X-Men and Wolverine films? Let's take a look at some charts! Discounting inflation, the latest sequel has made the fourth most in the series here in the USA - which you'll notice makes it the highest grossing post-2010: Astin participated in the Reddit AMA in an effort to promote a documentary, which is in need of some funding. Titled Sultana, the documentary is about "the greatest U.S. maritime disaster you've never heard of." Sultana has only three days left on its Kickstarter campaign, and it still needs more than $10,000 in order to meet its goal.
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online This is the macro version of the neighborhood whose house is a shitbox but he puts it up for sale 20% over market value because it’s his and who the hell wouldn’t want it? We treat alien-taking-over-Earth flicks much the same way. Who wouldn’t want to come live here? It’s not like it isn’t over-polluted, resource-drained and spilling over at the seams with self-absorbed humans. Man are we clueless.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online I’ll get more into it in a second, but for now check out the Edge of Tomorrow trailer:This plot flaw aside, Edge of Tomorrow looks awesome. Tom Cruise is such a fascinating dude. To be kind of considered a joke in the public eye and yet just consistently crush on the big screen seems almost impossible. It probably means he’s an even better actor than we think because he’s got to overcomes the "crazy Scientologist and just general weird" baggage right at the start of every performance. And yet here he is again in a movie the critics are flipping out over. Amazing.
Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online In what appears to be a Groundhog Day meets Independence Day scenario, Cruise’s character is tasked with saving the world from an alien species that can rewind the day and train to defeat their opponent. And yet they still saw Earth as a solid upward move. Nice.Director Doug Liman has had his wins like The Bourne Ultimatum (94%) and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (59%-and probably unfairly skewed low by critics) and his losses like Jumper (16%). Edge of Tomorrow is going to join the former group without a doubt. It’s sitting in the mid 90’s through more than forty reviews. That’s a huge number for a sci-fi flick (or really any movie). Critics love it (including our own Kristy Puchko). I can’t wait to see it. Now let’s clean this place up so aliens want to take it over. That should be our goal.
Watch Neighbors Online Anthony Mackie is a busy man, but apparently he's not busy enough. With some spare time in-between Marvel movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and his upcoming project with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, he's lined himself up to be in two different biopics. The first is Jimi, one of two upcoming biopics about famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The second, more recent project, is one that Mackie himself is developing and presenting to studios and will have him starring as famed Olympian Jessie Owens. While the project doesn't have a title as of yet, it does have two other films to compete with, and proves to be a golden opportunity for whomever gets it right.
Watch Captain America The Winter Soldier Online Deadline ran the story about how Anthony Mackie is teaming with writer Jamie Linden (who shares the film We Are Marshall as a common link between himself and Mackie) to co-produce a film from a script by writer George Olson. With three films on his plate, and this one aiming to start shooting this fall, Mackie is going to have a lot of of running to do before he stars in a movie where he'll literally have a lot of running to do. If Joss Whedon listens to his pleas and casts him in a role for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, you may as well stop calling him The Falcon and start calling him The Flash.
Watch Frozen Online If there were an actor that could be sympathetic to Anthony Mackie's workload, it would have to be up and comer John Boyega, who in addition to featuring in the current run of 24: Live Another Day has landed himself a part in J.J. Abrams' new independent science fiction drama Star Wars: Episode VII. In fact, if it weren't for the length of time and commitment that project requires, Boyega might have been racing Mackie to the finish line in Race. The Wrap reports that Race is currently being looked over by Focus Features as a possible distributor, and Steven James (who is also set to star in the civil rights drama Selma) has filled the title role of the Olympian who defied Adolf Hitler himself by winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
Watch The Raid 2 Online The race to make a film about racing against race is on. (Say that five times fast.) There's no clear winner as to who will get the head start, but if the films are staggered enough, we may see very different films and with great actors nominated for the various awards that a biopic like this tend to attract. No release dates have been set, but you can next see Steven James in When The Game Stands Tall and Anthony Mackie in A Many Splendored Thing. John Boyega, as mentioned previously, is hard at work on Star Wars: Episode VII.
Watch Heaven is for Real Online Next year just added a new must-see movie to its lineup: the thriller Sicario. This film, directed by Denis Villeneuve, stars Emily Blunt as a cop who recruits two tough mercenaries on a journey into Mexico to stop a drug lord. Earlier, Benicio Del Toro signed on to the project, and now another heavy hitter is about to join the cast, bringing his specific brand of machismo with him.
Watch That Awkward Moment Online The Wrap reports that Josh Brolin will co-star in Sicario, which shoots this summer. It also reveals the particulars of each role. The mission is a CIA-fronted one, with Blunt starring as a Tucson SWAT officer who is recruited on a cartel-destroying mission with the aforementioned duo of mercenaries, one of them played by Del Toro. Brolin would play the CIA operative who recruits Blunt, which means there is still one mercenary role left to be cast, and a couple of bad guys who might require big name actors as well. In other words, casting is not be complete for this exciting-sounding project.
Watch Vampire Academy Online It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood. Which means Mrs. Rotten Week has a laundry list of outdoor jobs needing be done. They’ll have to wait though. We’ve got a lot of business to take care of with movies coming out this week. Cruise goes Phil Connors and Shailene Woodley gets sick.Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at what This Rotten Week has to offer.One of my favorite parts of movies like this is the assumption that some alien race would actually want to come and take over Earth. We are so completely wrapped up in ourselves (universally) as to presuppose that a vastly superior race of beings would travel long distances and die for a chance to take over a planet that’s been slowly and painstakingly destroyed by the current inhabitants.
From the sound of it, the kids weren't exactly in high spirits on the set of the music video."Moping...I retract the other phrase," Astin clarifies, when asked what 'hang dogging' means. "We were spaced out because it was saturday after a long week. but we flipping loved that song and wanted to do lots of vids with the Great Cyndi Lauper!!!"So I guess the song was good enough for the Goonies. Heh. (Sorry). But when factoring in how well the movie is doing overseas, the reality is that Bryan Singer's return to the comic book movie series is actually the most profitable X-Men movie yet.The latest numbers are in over at Box Office Mojo, and when including the $32 million it made here in the States over the last three days and more totals from around the world, X-Men: Days of Future Past has made more than $500 million. Here in the US, the movie has made $162 million - accounting for about 32% of its total - but it's overseas where the film is really crushing, pulling in $338 million.
