‘Jungle Cruise’ Dueling Trailers: Dwayne Johnson vs Emily Blunt

By
Rebecca Murray
-

Dwayne Johnson introduces the “Skipper Frank” trailer (#TeamFrank) by calling Jungle Cruise the epic summer movie event. “The timing of this movie getting released couldn’t be better as we are all trying to get on the other side of Covid,” says Johnson before showing off one of two new trailers released a month out from the film’s premiere.

Emily Blunt introduces the other trailer spotlighting her character, Dr. Lily Houghton (#TeamLily). Blunt is sure her trailer’s the official one and labels Johnson’s trailer desperate, delusional, and sad, and claims it bears no relation to the film they made. “It was like the trailer had lost its mind,” says Blunt. “This is the true-to-life trailer of our extraordinary film that follows my character, Dr. Lily Houghton. She’s like Indiana Jones – she is brave and fearless and wild and she’s brilliant-minded and humble, and she’s going to be the one to take you down the Amazon River on this adventure of a lifetime.”

In addition to Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, the cast includes Edgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. Jaume Collet-Serra directs from a screenplay by Michael Green, Glenn Ficarra, and John Requa (story by Ficarra, Requa, John Norville, and Josh Goldstein).

Disney’s Jungle Cruise sails into theaters and Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021.

The Plot:

Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney’s Jungle Cruise is an adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila — his ramshackle-but-charming boat.

Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities — possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate — and mankind’s — hangs in the balance.

The death of Gwynn is going to change everything for Talon in the upcoming fourth season of The CW’s The Outpost. Season four episode one, “Someone Has to Rule,” was directed by Milan Todorvić from a script by Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin and will air on July 15, 2021.

The CW’s just released the first photos from season four’s first episode and confirmed plot details. (The network is labeling this new batch of episodes season 3B). Season four will air on Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT.

The cast is led by Jessica Green as Talon and includes Jake Stormoen as Captain Garret Spears, Anand Desai-Barochia as Janzo, and Reece Ritchie as Zed. Izuka Hoyle is Wren, Jaye Griffiths is Yavalla, Georgia May Foote is Falista, Maeve Courtier-Lilly is Luna, Nikki Leigh Scott is Vorta, and Adam Johnson is Munt.

“Someone Has to Rule” Plot: WHO WILL RULE? – Garret (Stormoen) wants Talon (Green) to take the throne, while a mysterious assassin seeks revenge. Falista (Foote) mourns for Tobin (Aaron Fontaine) but hatches a new plan. Zed (Ritchie) wants Wren (Hoyle) to be High Priestess and uncovers a secret about her.

The Season 4 Plot:

After Gwynn (Imogen Waterhouse) sacrificed herself to destroy Yavalla, the Outpost needs a new ruler. But while Talon and Garret try to establish new leadership, a sinister threat awakens, revealing the true origin of the mysterious kinjes. Talon and her kinj-bearing friends all share dark visions from god-like beings who are hell-bent on reclaiming the kinjes for themselves. A would-be assassin named Luna hunts Talon down to get vengeance for crimes of the past, but soon discovers that her own heritage is wrapped up in Talon’s fate.

Mourning the recent loss of her beloved Tobin (Aaron Fontaine), Falista is mentored by Two to dedicate herself to the new “gods” in exchange for a costly favor. But when the Lu Qiri go missing, Talon and Zed track them down to discover the greatest threat the Realm has ever faced… a new race of beings that will ultimately explain Talon’s own dark origins.

When Janzo and Wren are forced to unlock an ancient city beneath the Outpost, they struggle to uncover who their real allies and enemies will be, while a secret they share gives them new motivation to save the world.

As she and her friends are hunted down one by one, while diabolic forces are tearing her world apart, Talon endures the darkest challenge she has ever faced, as she struggles to embrace the heroes of her past and somehow survive the villains that only she has the power to destroy.

Tanner Wiseman, Chelsea Laden, Dakota Laden and Alex Schroeder at Waverly Hils Sanatorium, as seen on Travel Channel’s ‘Destination Fear’

Paranormal explorers Dakota Laden, Chelsea Laden, Tanner Wiseman, and Alex Schroeder return for another season of Destination Fear premiering on Saturday, July 24, 2021 on Travel Channel and discovery+. The upcoming season finds the intrepid explorers visiting a jail, a sanitorium, a reformatory, and the Villisca Axe Murder House.

“We’ve been through a lot together but even after all of our dark encounters, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s out there,” said Dakota Laden. “I usually save the worst location for last, but this time I am throwing us head-first into one of the scariest places in the entire country. And I have a few surprises up my sleeve to fuel the terror even more.”

The eight-episode third season will pose even bigger challenges and tests for the team, according to Chelsea Laden. “It’s really forced us to exceed those limitations and do the unthinkable,” said Laden.

“I think this is the most vulnerable we’ve ever been,” revealed Tanner Wiseman. “Even our pit stops are challenging. It adds a whole new layer to our experience.”

“Everything is extreme, even the locations,” added Alex Schroeder. “And as much as we try to ready ourselves for each situation, nothing can really prepare us for what comes next.”

Destination Fear Season 3 Details and Episode Guide, Courtesy of Travel Channel:

Across this season’s eight one-hour episodes, the fear-chasing foursome will be driven to the edge of endurance. Exploring under the harshest conditions they’ve ever faced, and using sensory deprivation tactics to augment their paranormal experiment, this trip will test their mental, emotional and physical strength to the extreme. Venturing inside notoriously haunted locations such as Ohio State Reformatory, the Villisca Axe Murder House and Odd Fellows Home, the team confronts intense supernatural forces – and they quickly learn these entities do more than go bump in the night.

In the season premiere, Dakota takes the team to one of the most frightening and infamous places in America: Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. The death rate was so high at this former tuberculosis hospital that a “body chute” was created to hide the constant flow of deceased bodies from those who were living in the facility. Dakota, Chelsea, Tanner and Alex have dreamed of visiting this location for years, but they’ve always been too afraid to confront the sinister forces lurking within, until now. Facing a dark history of brutal deaths and paranormal violence, the team is taunted by several tortured souls still looming within the abandoned halls. Physical afflictions and ghostly apparitions put the group through the ultimate test of strength and endurance.

‘Good Omens’ Earns a Well-Deserved Season 2 with Michael Sheen and David Tennant

Good Omens Season 2 Poster

Great news for Good Omens fans…Michael Sheen and David Tennant will reprise their roles as the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley in a second season of Good Omens! Amazon Studios and BBC Studios announced the renewal (which fans have been pleading for since season one ended) and confirmed season two is expected to shoot in Scotland later this year.

“Personally I’m against it, but the world isn’t going to just save itself, is it? If David and I can manage to not fall out too badly this time it may even have a chance of getting finished,” stated Michael Sheen.

“The return of Good Omens is great news for me, personally. As I get to work with Michael again, and I get to say Neil’s wonderful words once more. It’s probably less good for the universe as it almost certainly means there will be some fresh existential threat to its existence to deal with, but, you know – swings and roundabouts…,” said David Tennant.

The critically acclaimed series is based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Gaiman is involved as an executive producer and a co-showrunner along with executive producer/director Douglas Mackinnon. Gaiman’s also co-writing season two with executive producer John Finnemore. Rob Wilkins and BBC Studios Productions’ Head of Comedy Josh Cole are also executive producing.

Season two is an Amazon Studios, BBC Studios Productions, The Blank Corporation, and Narrativia production.

“It’s thirty-one years since Good Omens was published, which means it’s thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel,” explained Neil Gaiman. “I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens — that’s where our angels came from. Terry’s not here any longer, but when he was, we had talked about what we wanted to do with Good Omens, and where the story went next. And now, thanks to BBC Studios and Amazon, I get to take it there. I have enlisted some wonderful collaborators, and John Finnemore has come on board to carry the torch with me. There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are the answers you’ve been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery, which starts with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory.”

“Taking Good Omens to my home country of Scotland to film a second season is an exciting dream come true for me. And with Michael Sheen and David Tennant returning as Aziraphale and Crowley, we really have an angel and a demon on our side,” added Douglas Mackinnon.

Season one debuted in May 2019 and was an immediate hit on Prime Video. Sheen and Tennant were joined in the first season by Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Jack Whitehall, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Anna Maxwell Martin, and Mireille Enos.

“Terry and Neil always knew that Crowley and Aziraphale wouldn’t remain content to appear in only one story, and long harboured plans to expand upon their adventures. David and Michael’s stellar performances made this an absolute necessity. Terry would have been delighted with how they brought their characters to life, and just as delighted as I am that a second season is now underway,” said Rob Wilkins.

The Season 2 Plot, Courtesy of Amazon Studios and BBC Studios:

Multi-award-winning actors Michael Sheen and David Tennant are confirmed to reprise their starring roles as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, an unlikely duo that teamed up to save the world from the apocalypse.

The new season will explore storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley. Having been on Earth since The Beginning and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.

‘Fantasy Island’ New Trailer: Be Careful What You Wish For

By
Rebecca Murray
-

The new trailer for the updated Fantasy Island series coming to Fox this fall shows this vacation paradise is a magical place in which all your dreams come true…but at a price. Roselyn Sanchez (Devious Maids) stars as Elena Roarke, a relative of Mr. Roarke (played by Ricardo Montalban in the original TV series), who welcomes guests to this island getaway and promises to transform their lives for the better. But the trailer suggests there’s a good reason not to trust Elena.

The cast of season one also includes Kiara Barnes and John Gabriel Rodriguez. Bellamy Young, Dave Annable, and Odette Annable guest star.

Filming is now underway in Puerto Rico. Liz Craft and Sarah Fain (The 100) are executive producing the Sony Pictures Television, Gemstone Studios, and FOX Entertainment production.

Fantasy Island will join Fox’s primetime lineup on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 9pm ET/PT.

Fox released the following season one description:

“Fantasy Island takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. Delving into the ‘what if’ questions – both big and small – that keep us awake at night, each episode will tell emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island. Serving as steward of this mysterious island is Elena Roarke (Sanchez), a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke. Elena set aside her own ambitions, and even the love of her life, to uphold her family’s legacy. Sophisticated, insightful and always charming, her calm exterior masks the challenges of the responsibilities she has assumed.

Assisting Elena is Ruby Okoro (Kiara Barnes, The Bold and the Beautiful), a young woman with an old soul who arrives on Fantasy Island with a terminal illness and is given a new lease on life there; and pilot Javier (John Gabriel Rodriquez, Rosewood), who also is the head of island transportation and a jack of all trades.”
