In an interview with EW, producer Simon Kinberg spoke a bit about the sequel to Deadpool that recently revealed its new director to be John Wick co-director David Leitch. After Tim Miller exited the project over creative differences, fans wondered if the spirit and style from the first movie would be different in the planned follow up. Kinberg put those fears to rest, explaining that Deadpool 2 is aiming to maintain the exact scale of the first film saying that it was tempting to make it bigger in scale but they want to stay true to the first films personality.

The first trailer for Doug Liman‘s The Wall has landed online. The movie centers on two soldiers pinned down in the middle of the desert by an Iraqi sniper with nothing but a crumbling brick wall for cover. The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena and will be released on March 10, 2017.

According to a report from Making Star Wars.Net, it appears that Supreme Leader Snoke, played by Andy Serkis, will be brought to life via a practical effect. The report mentions that for at least part of Episode 8, a seven or eight-foot-tall puppet will be operated by several people in order to get him to walk. If the report turns out to be true it would mark a very different approach to the character who was first brought to life by motion capture technology in The Force Awakens.

According to a recent interview with The Mummy director Alex Kurtzman, there was an original plan to keep a male version of the Mummy villain for the Universal Monsters reboot. It was when Kurtzman saw the post-credits scene featuring a young Apocalypse at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past where he realized his idea for the design of the Mummy was almost exactly that of Apocalypse. Here’s what Kurtzman told Cinema Blend that when he saw the end of that film, it was the exact same design they had for the Mummy.

BOX OFFICE PREDICTIONS

Hello Collider

Besides your favorites, how many times would you say you typically rewatch a movie? When you guys do "AMC Rewind", the panel can go from "That movie is great" to "I don't remember that", and whenever Rocha, Perri, and Dennis talk about Transformers, it sounds like the latter two wouldn't want to waste their time viewing those movies a second time.
