The next installment in the Apes series, War of the Planet of the Apes is set to hit theaters on July 14th 2017 and it looks like we may have our villain for the film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hunger Games and True Detective star Woody Harrelson has been cast to play the new antagonist called The Colonel. Harrelson joins Andy Serkis who returns as the Ape Caesar for the third time with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves returning to helm as well.

As some of you may know, actor Channing Tatum is developing a feature film biopic of Evel Knievel, the motorcycle stuntman who dazzled the world for years with his death defying stunts and ended his career with a world record 433 broken bones. According to reports, director Darren Aronofsky is currently in talks to direct the film. Tatum and Aronofsky have reportedly been looking for a project to work on together and Tatum even offered him the director’s chair for his upcoming Gambit movie but Aronofsky turned the project down.

The first trailer for the upcoming The Divergent Series: Allegiant has hit the web. After the Earth-shattering revelations of Insurgent, Tris (Woodley) must escape with Four beyond the Wall that encircles Chicago to finally discover the shocking truth of what lies behind it.

It looks like Charlie’s Angel are heading to the big screen once again. No, not with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu again, but rather a reboot. According to a report in TheWrap, Sony Pictures is developing a new Charlie’s Angel and it targeting Elizabeth Banks to direct the project. Banks recently made her directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2 which made over $285 million worldwide, more than doubling the box office of the first film.

I think he's hilarious and a "ok" actor but I can't picture him as Gambit at all. I think this by far will be his toughest role and I don't know if he'll be able to deliver. What do you all think?

Zachary Tremblay writes: Hey guys, love the show, i just recently saw the Creed trailer and was very interested by it. Do you think that with Stallone taking back his role as Rocky in this movie that we can maybe get another Rocky movie? Thanks a lot!
