Lionsgate’s just released the official poster for the dramatic action film Hacksaw Ridge. The film marks the return to the director’s chair for two-time Oscar winner Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and stars Andrew Garfield (99 Homes, The Amazing Spider-Man). The cast also includes Sam Worthington (Avatar), Luke Bracey (Point Break), Teresa Palmer (Lights Out), Hugo Weaving (The Hobbit films), Rachel Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters), and Vince Vaughn (True Detective). Hacksaw Ridge will open in theaters on November 4, 2016.
The Plot:Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary true story of conscientious collaborator Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He believed the war was just, but killing was nevertheless wrong; he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic, Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Dane DeHaan, Clive Owen, and Cara Delevingne star in ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’
Europa Corp is bringing its sci-fi adventure film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets to the 2016 San Diego Comic Con. The film’s based on the graphic novel by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières and was adapted for the screen and directed by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element). The cast includes Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock, and Kris Wu, with EuropaCorp targeting a July 21, 2017 theatrical release date.
The Valerian Comic Con panel will take place on Thursday, July 21 from 1-2pm PT in Hall H. Luc Besson, Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, and producer Virginie Besson-Silla are expected to make the trip to San Diego for the film’s panel.
The Plot: Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.
Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
Alexander Skarsgard swings through the trees, shirtless with rippling abs in the latest take on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic Tarzan story. With Harry Potter veteran David Yates at the helm, The Legend of Tarzan is a worthy addition to the very long list of Tarzan adaptations, and the magnificently muscular Skarsgard’s one of the better actors to ever take on the role of the Lord of the Jungle. We may not have necessarily needed a new Tarzan film, but what Warner Bros Pictures and director Yates have done with the story doesn’t feel recycled and done to death.
The story begins with John Clayton III, fifth Earl of Greystoke, and a member of the House of Lords living in Greystoke Manor and happily married to Jane Porter (Margot Robbie). He’s settled into a life of wealth and fame (everyone knows his story of being raised by apes), but this new normalcy is disrupted when he’s asked to return to the Congo by Belgium’s King Leopold II for diplomatic reasons. Initially John says no, however American George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson) convinces him that his presence is necessary as there are rumors the natives are being exploited and enslaved in order to clear the country for colonization.
John and Jane, who won’t take no for an answer and demands to go along to visit her old friends, make the trip in the company of George Washington Williams but avoid dealing with King Leopold’s envoy Leon Rom (played by the go-to actor for film villain’s Christoph Waltz) by heading straight to the village where Jane’s father taught school and where she grew up. The newly arrived John, Jane, and George quickly confirm Leon Rom and King Leopold’s despicable plans for the Congo. Unfortunately, Leon Rom’s plans for Tarzan also involve trading him to his enemy, Chief Mbonga (Djimon Hounsou), a tribal leader whose hatred for Tarzan runs deep. Leon’s set up a deal to hand over Tarzan in exchange for diamonds which will fund the troops and supplies needed to basically wipeout life in the region as the natives know it, enslaving the natives and destroying their villages. But once Jane’s taken hostage, Leon quickly learns first-hand the deep connection Tarzan has to the animals and people of the Congo, and the intense love he has for Jane.
This Tarzan’s a wild adventure with breathtaking cinematography and impressive CG animals. (No real animals were used in the film.) The blending of the CG animals into shots with Skarsgard is fairly seamless, and it’s difficult to pick out what was shot on a soundstage from what was actually shot in Gabon, Africa.
The Legend of Tarzan features a strong performance by a bulked-up Skarsgard who says little but conveys much as a man who is out of place in high society and at home among the creatures of the forest. Skarsgard, best known for playing sexy Viking vampire Eric Northman in HBO’s True Blood, adds a playful touch to the role when appropriate while also conveying the character’s love of his animal family and determination to keep them safe at all costs.
As Jane, Margot Robbie’s no damsel in distress. She’s fierce, independent, and capable of handling herself in dangerous situations. She is Jane; hear her roar. The sparks fairly fly off the screen when Skarsgard and Robbie share quieter, emotionally complex moments, and this Tarzan and Jane relationship is more of a match of equals than past incarnations of the characters.
The new movie also puts Tarzan on more of an equal ground with the Congo natives who respect him and treat him like a brother. They are fierce warriors in their own right who also know the trick to swinging from gigantic vines, and Tarzan doesn’t rescue or lead them so much as work side-by-side with men who’ve been his friends for years.
The Legend of Tarzan hits all the necessary notes with plenty of vine-swinging, ape action, and the iconic Tarzan yodel. The yodel is heard a couple of times in the film but always from afar, with Skarsgard never standing in the frame giving voice to the classic call. This actually makes the yodel more frightening and eerie, but was likely done as the yell itself was a combination of Skarsgard and other sources.
This 2016 Tarzan film will introduce the character to a new generation of moviegoers and if Warner Bros has its way and the box office justifies it, The Legend of Tarzan will probably launch a new franchise. Director Yates, working from a script by Craig Brewer and Adam Cozad, uses the tragic but true story of Belgium’s attempted genocide in the Congo as the setting for an epic story of love and loyalty. Tarzan may do the physically impossible, but it’s his connection to Jane, his animal family, and his friends in the Congo that drives the story and makes The Legend of Tarzan more than just a simple summer action film.
GRADE: B
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sequences of action and violence, some sensuality and brief rude dialogue

Walt Disney Animation Studios just confirmed a Wreck-It Ralph sequel will be opening in theaters on March 9, 2018. Original voice cast members John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman will be reprising their roles as Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz, and Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore (who also helmed the box office blockbuster Zootopia) and producer Clark Spencer are also on board the sequel. Wreck-It Ralph writer Phil Johnston is co-directing and working on the script.
“Ralph is a character very near and dear to my heart,” stated Reilly. “I’m really looking forward to playing the big lug again. Making the first Wreck-It Ralph was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever had and I’m really looking forward to bringing him back to life. So many kids I’ve met all over the world are excited to see him again, too. They tell me all the time!”
“From the moment we started working on the first Wreck-It Ralph, we knew there were so many possibilities with these characters,” said Moore. “This time, Ralph’s wrecking wreaks havoc on the Web—as only he can do. Characters we loved in the first film are back and we are ecstatic to be working with them—and the actors who voice them—once again.”
“The world of the internet is the perfect place to send Ralph and Vanellope,” said Johnston. “The scope and scale are so vast and the possibilities for comedy are endless.”
The untitled Wreck-It Ralph sequel’s release date means Disney’s Gigantic will move off of that date and will now open on November 21, 2018.
