On the cover we see Joker from head to toe with the words “Psycho Killer”. Suicide Squad opens in theatres on August 5th. BUY OR SELL As some of you may know, a remake of the 1995 Robin Williams film Jumanji has been in development and now we have some more movement. According to a report in Deadline High Fidelity and Con Air screenwriter Scott Rosenberg has been brought on to rewrite the script and a release date of December 25th 2016 has been set. The December 25th release date will have the Jumanji remake opening against Tim Burton’s next film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. A North American remake of the hit Asian film The Raid has been in development for some time with Frank Grillo and Taylor Kitsch attached to star and Expendables 3 director Patrick Hughes on board to helm the Screen Gems release. However, troubled times have hit the production as reports claim that Taylor Kitsch has left the project as well as director Patrick Hughes. On top of that it’s now being claimed that Screen Gems has dropped the project as well and is now no longer interested in distributing the film.

Fortunately, the Milk is told from the point of a view of a young boy and his sister, who listen as their father recounts the story of exactly what happened when he stepped out briefly to purchase some milk. That story includes aliens, pirates, piranhas and, of course, time travel. The new Disney Animated film Zootopia is hitting theatres on March 4th with Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin and Shakira already announced in major voice roles. Now, Disney has revealed more of the voice cast. Idris Elba voices Chief Bogo, head of the Zootopian Police Department. Octavia Spencer is Mrs. Otterson. J.K. Simmons is Mayor Leodore Lionhearted. Tommy Chong is Yax the Yak, “a most enlightened, laid-back bovine.” Alan Tudyk is Duke Weaselton, “a small-time weasel crook with a big-time mouth.” MAIL BAG Adam McGregor writes: Hey collider! I was wondering, what ever happened to the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's, The Stand? Wasn't Matthew McConaughey rumored to be the main villain? William Atangana writes: Hello Collider crew, love the show. My question is now that Marvel can use Spider-Man to appear in future films as a guest appearance or a bigger role, do you think he'll appear in Infinity War Part 1 & Part 2? Thanks.
