According to a new report, actor Channing Tatum and Fox studios have apparently run into problems which may result in Tatum leaving the upcoming Gambit feature film. The story claims that an individual close to the project said that Tatum’s reps are still in active discussions with the studio but acknowledged that something is up. The situation is a confusing one considering that just a few weeks ago Tatum was at the San Diego Comic Con promoting the upcoming project for Fox.
As many of you know a feature film project based on the popular mobile game Five Nights at Freddy’s is currently in development and it now looks like they’ve found their director. According to a report in Deadline, Gil Kenan, director of such films as Monster House, City of Ember and the new Poltergeist, has been brought on to write and direct the new film. Five Night’s at Freddy’s challenges players to survive for five nights as a security guard in a demented pizza entertainment restaurant where homicidal, possessed animatronics roam the halls in search of their next victims.

Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are already set to return to the Bourne film universe and will begin production on Bourne 5 shortly and now they’ll be joined by Academy Award winning actor Tommy Lee Jones. Little is known about the new film other than it will not feature a crossover with Jeremy Renner who starred in the previous installment of the franchise.
Star Trek star Chris Pine is heading to the DC Cinematic Universe as Steve Trevor, the traditional love interest of the most iconic female superhero of all time, Wonder Woman. The assumption is that Pine will make his debut at Trevor in the stand alone Wonder Woman movie on June 23, 2017.
A couple of new red band trailers have surfaced and we start with comedy as the first trailer for The Night Before has hit the web. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie as friends since childhood, and for a decade, their yearly Christmas Eve reunion has been an annual night of debauchery and hilarity. Now that they’re entering adulthood, the tradition is coming to an end, and to make it as memorable as possible, they set out to find the Nutcracka Ball – the Holy Grail of Christmas parties.
Next up is the first trailer for the new Michael Bay film 13 Hours. The film is based on the book of the same name which is described as follows: 13 Hours” presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack.

We seldom talk about the performances of Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Clarke Gable et al. and movies like 12 Angry Men, Rear Window, Roman Holiday, To Kill a Mockingbird, Mutiny on the Bounty, Judgment at Nuremberg, Casablanca etc. these days. Why don't we refer those classic era films and performances in our movie talks nowadays? Have they lost modern relevance? What are your thoughts?
