Take a look to the official logo of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the upcoming science-fiction movie directed by Luc Besson and based on the 1967 French graphic novel “Valerian and Laureline”

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS

Plot:
“Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him. Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.”

Luc Besson, who now heads Europacorp, previously brought us The Big Blue, Nikita, Leon, The Fifth Element, and Lucy. So there’s reason to hope that Valerian will a hell of an epic movie!

Maybe I’ll give a try to the original comic book it’s based on.

The release date of the movie Valerian is set to July 21, 2017.

Sneaking off to a secluded mansion to party, the young girls are faced with dire choices after they unexpectedly encounter the property’s groundskeeper.

The official title of the sequel to Prometheus has been revealed by 20th Century Fox! The second chapter in the Alien prequel trilogy that began with Prometheus is officially titled Alien Covenant:

(Click on the poster to enlarge.)

ALIEN COVENANT

Plot:
“Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the ‘synthetic’ David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.”

Let’s hope we will learn even more about the Engineers in this sequel!

There are four character posters for The Huntsman Winter’s War (aka Snow White an the Huntsman 2), the upcoming prequel movie set in the world of Snow White and The Huntsman:

(Click on a poster to enlarge.)

Plot:
“Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Charllize Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Emily Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.”

From what I heard Actress Kristen Stewart who played the role of Snow White in the first film won’t show up in The Huntsman movie. Hopefully they will meet again in a third installment later on.

The release date of The Huntsman Winter’s War is set to April 22, 2016.

A trailer of A Perfect Day, the upcoming comedy drama movie written and directed by Fernando Leon de Aranoa, has been released online, watch it below:

A PERFECT DAYPlot:
“A group of aid workers tries to remove a cadaver from a well in an armed conflict zone. The body was thrown into the well to contaminate the water and cut the water supply to the local population.But circumstances soon turn a simple task into an impossible mission.
The workers cross the frenzied war landscape like guinea pigs in a maze, and there might be no way out. A war inside another war, in which the only enemy could be irrationality.
The crisis they’re trying to solve is humanitarian, but they’re only human. Humor, drama, tenderness, routine, danger, hope: it all fits into a perfect day.
This film’s only genre is life itself. Like a Russian doll, it’s a drama inside a comedy, inside a road movie, inside a war movie.”

Actor Tim Robbins is totally stealing the show!

Here’s the film poster:

It was filmed entirely in Northern Ontario, and features icons of the screen like Diahanne Carroll and ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper alongside stars Brett Granstaff and Lara Jean Chorostecki.”

We’ve got our hands on the first official pictures of Detour, the upcoming psychological thriller movie starring Tye Sheridan, Bel Powley, and Emory Cohen:

(Click on a picture to enlarge.)

Plot:
“Law student and all round good guy, Harper, suspects that his scheming step-father, Vincent, is responsible for the car crash that sent his mother into a coma. Drowning his sorrows one evening in a seedy L.A whiskey bar, Harper is interrupted by a tough looking redneck called Johnny Ray who offers to “take care” of his step-dad for the cool sum of US$20,000. Angry, intent on revenge and fuelled by alcohol, Harper agrees to the deal and spends the rest of his evening downing shots with Johnny Ray.

The next morning, Harper wakes to the mother of all hangovers with hazy memory of the previous night’s events. Answering a knock at the front door, he is surprised to find Johnny Ray and his beautiful but distant girlfriend, Cherry, ready and waiting to drive to Vegas to kill Vincent. Harper’s claims that he was drunk and didn’t know what he was doing mean nothing to Johnny Ray who is more threatening than ever in the cold light of day. Harper quickly realises that there is no easy way out; if he wants to survive this, he has no choice but to go along with the plan.

What follows is a tense and deftly constructed noir thriller in which Harper’s story takes an unexpected detour, presenting the audience with two alternate versions of events with two very different outcomes. Did Harper really want to kill his step father and which road did he actually take?”

We’ve also spotted three new teaser posters:

ZOOTOPIA

A crazy tale of conspiracy and corruption…
with animals!

Plot:
“The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.”

Will the fox outfox the rabbit cop?

The film will be released on March 4, 2016.
