Into The Woods – Meryl Streep ventures into the woods as the witch who wishes to reverse a curse so that her beauty may be restored.

And here’s the official plot synopsis:

Plot:
“Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.”

About the cast:
– Meryl Streep as the witch
– Emily Blunt as the baker’s wife
– James Corden plays the baker
– Anna Kendrick plays Cinderella
– Chris Pine plays Cinderella’s Prince
– Johnny Depp plays the big bad wolf
– and Lilla Crawford plays Little Red Riding Hood

I can hardly recognize Meryl Streep with that make-up! Can’t wait to see her performance, I’m sure she will nail it! Plus there’s Johnny Depp, so the film will definitely be a must see!

The release date of Into The Woods is set to December 25, 2014.

This new featurette for Spike Lee’s upcoming remake of Oldboy will give you a better understanding of what to expect from the film:

OldBoy – What’s the story?Plot:
“Oldboy is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of Joe Doucette (Josh Brolin), a man who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement, for no apparent reason. When he is suddenly released without explanation, he begins an obsessive mission to find out who imprisoned him, only to discover that the real mystery is why he was set free.”

Are you impatient to see Spike Lee’s version? Or do you think Chan-wook Park’s version is the only one worth seeing?

The film will hit theaters on November 27,2 013.

Plot:
“The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drisella into the family home. But, when Ella’s father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who abuse her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an employee at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears as if her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming “Kit.” Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever.”

The story will largely follows Disney’s 1950 cartoon adaptation, but we may expect a few twists…

Here’s a trailer for the 1950 animated movie:

The release date of Cinderella is set for March 13, 2015.

The Expendables 3 Movie Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge.)

Plot
“Barney (Sylvester Stallone), Christmas (Jason Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney.
Stonebanks is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy.”

Wesley Snipes can kill vampires and Somali pirates, that’s no big deal for him, but there’s one enemy he still can’t really get rid of: the IRS, the U.S. government agency responsible for tax collection and tax law enforcement! LoL!

In theaters: August 15, 2014.

Plot:
“After Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew helped take down Owen Shaw in F&F6, his brother Ian Shaw (Jason Statham) now wants revenge.”

Tony Jaa is a martial arts expert, but he’s a puny man next to Statham and Diesel…

Anyway, a few words from Tony Jaa:

“I have been a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. The films are fast-paced, fun and keep the audience involved. There is a great mix of humor and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to be involved in for a first U.S. studio production.”

Actor Tony Jaa

Unfortunately we don’t know yet what his role will be in the film. Do you think he’s going to join Dom Toretto’s team? Or is he going to play an antagonist?

In theaters: July 11, 2014.

Warner Bros has officially announced that Actor Ben Affleck is taking over the role of Bruce Wayne aka Batman in the upcoming superhero movie that’s set to pit Superman against Batman! Director Zack Snyder is in charge of the project which is being scripted by David S. Goyer from a story he co-created with Zack Snyder. The film is a sequel to Man of Steel. There’s no official title yet, possibly “Batman vs Superman”.

Ben Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who is reprising his role as Clark Kent aka Superman.

A few words from Director Zack Snyder about Ben Affleck:

“Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry Cavill’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.”

Director Zack Snyder

Since they’re going for a “mature” actor, the film will likely be inspired by Part 2 of “The Dark Knight Returns”, watch the trailer below:

Are you glad to hear about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman? Share your thoughts below!

Production should start in 2014 and they’re hoping for a release in Summer 2015.

(Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Plot:
“Set in the days leading up to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the slave Milo (Kit Harington), on a ship heading for Naples, works to get home to save the woman (Emily Browning) he loves and his best friend, a gladiator trapped inside the city’s coliseum.”

Here’s a description of the picture by Actor Kit Harington:

“This is the first scene you see me in. It’s set in London, in fact, and it’s a scene where my character is a gladiator fighting in an arena. That’s his gladiator look. It’s a great little fight against three masked gladiators and sets up who he is and where he’s going. You see me display my skills quite early on.”

For a slave, he’s in really great shape: look at that six pack!
