Wonder_Woman_1984

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman takes the spotlight once again in Wonder Woman 1984, and the first trailer is finally here. At the end of 2017’s Wonder Woman, the titular hero had just defeated Ares, who stoked the fires of both sides in World War I. In 1984, we fast-forward to America in the 1980’s.

It’s a decade filled with shoulder pads, big hair, Ghostbusters, lots of neon, and the Cold War. This time, Diana takes on her character’s well-known nemesis Cheetah, as well as businessman Max Lord.

There is not much in the way of an official synopsis, but here is what Warner Bros. had put out for the movie:

Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah.

Wonder Woman 1984 is directed by Patty Jenkins. It stars, Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen. It will be released June 5, 2020.

[Movie News] ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Changes Its Release Date

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

The sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman certainly has a lot to live up to, and Wonder Woman 1984 has been filming since this summer. We have been given glimpses of Kristen Wiig’s villain Cheetah, as well as the surprising return of Steve Trevor. Today, the film’s lead star announced a change in the movie’s release date.

Gal Gadot announced today via social media that the release of Wonder Woman 1984 is being moved back from it’s original release date of November 1, 2019. Now, it will come out six months later on June 5, 2020. The actress said, “Super excited to announce that, thanks to the changing landscape, we are able to put Wonder Woman back to its rightful home. June 5, 2020. Be there or be square!!!”

 

The change in the release date means that a full three years will have passed since the release of the Amazon princess’s first solo film. Since then she has also appeared in last year’s Justice League alongside her male counterparts. This also means that the DCEU will only have one film coming out next year – Shazam! – as the standalone Joker film has been separated from the DCEU timeline.

As of yet, no major details are known about what we can expect to see in Wonder Woman 1984 other than what we have already shared with you. But given the fact that it has the same director Wonder Woman, I think that it’s safe to say that we can expect great things.

Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Pine.

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

The new Blade Runner movie comes to theaters on October 6th and so far it promises to be every bit as good as the original.

Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after the original.

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

From executive producer Denis Villeneuve and director Denis Villeneuve, #BladeRunner2049 stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, MacKenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, Carla Juri, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto.

Blade Runner 2049 – Everything We Know

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

Blade Runner 2049 doesn’t come out until October, but we’ve been getting a few tidbits on it. They are giving us just enough to whet our appetites without actually telling us anything.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
L-R: Ana de Armas and Ryan Gosling

We know that director Denis Villeneuve minimized the CGI and was trying to keep the same feeling as the original, which we are grateful for.

We also know that Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after the original and Deckard (Harrison Ford) has been missing that whole time. LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling) has uncovered a secret that endangers society and Deckard may have the answers K needs.

We know that Jared Leto is involved and will be playing a character named Neander Wallace, thanks to a small comment Mr. Leto made in an interview with the London Evening Standard,

“‘I play a character called Neander Wallace — to be honest they had me at the name,’ he says. In the trailer, he appears as a black-eyed medium, murmuring a monologue to Harrison Ford. ‘I read the script and fell in love with the character. But I don’t think I’m allowed to talk about it — I may have already got in trouble for telling you the name…”

What we do know is that his character seems a little creepy and from the trailer he seems like he may be the main antagonist.  All we really know about the character is that he creates replicants. We can only hope that he doesn’t get edited like he did for Suicide Squad.

We also know that Edward James Olmos will be returning to the role of Gaff, a veteran Blade Runner. However, it will only be for one scene. Ana de Armas appears as a character named Joi, who is K’s love interest…and possibly a replicant.

Other actors in the film include Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Mackenzie Davis, David Dastmalchian, and Barkhad Abdi, unfortunately we don’t even know their characters names at this point.

Anything else at this point is speculation and rumor.

There are also rumors circulating that there was an ultra-secret pre-screening of the film, which included iron-clad disclaimers. I’m still pushing my sources for more information on that, as all I have so far is “We won’t deny it.”

Watch: Final ‘Wonder Woman’ Trailer Shows the Rise of the Warrior + Doctor Poison

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

“Be careful of mankind, Diana. They do not deserve you.” – Queen Hippolyta

At last night’s MTV Movie & TV Awards, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment used the event to premiere the final trailer of the upcoming epic action-adventure Wonder Woman.

Set to the song “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons, this final look which director Patty Jenkins tweeted last night as “#WonderWoman – Rise of the Warrior” is our best look at Gal Gadot as the Amazonian princess in the most action seen in any previous trailer.. Not only do we catch glimpses of Diana Prince’s backstory and rise to ascension as the warrior, we also get a better look at the film’s antagonist, Maru/Doctor Poison (portrayed by Elena Anaya). A recurring enemy for Wonder Woman in the comics, Princess Maru became Doctor Poison in 1942 and was the head of a Nazi group hellbent on posioning the US Army’s water supply with a chemical called Reverso, which would override the infected person’s mind to force them to do the exact opposite of what they wanted. Good chance we’ll see at least some of this villain’s origin revealed in the film.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot as Diana, princess of Themyscira, and Chris Pine as fighter pilot Steve Trevor. Also appearing in the film are Robin Wright as General Antiope, David Thewlis as Sir Patrick, Danny Huston as General Erich Ludendorff, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy.

Wonder Woman arrives in theaters June 2, 2017.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
