The season for scary movies may be coming to a close, but there are still plenty of new movies to choose from this weekend. An animated movie about arctic animals, a biopic about Harriet Tubman, the next movie in the Terminator saga is out, and much more!

Arctic Dogs

Swifty the Arctic Fox works in the mailroom of the Arctic Blast Delivery Service, but he has much bigger dreams. He yearns to become a Top Dog, the Arctic’s star husky couriers. To prove he can do it, he commandeers one of the sleds and delivers a mysterious package to a secret location. Once there, he stumbles on a hidden fortress overseen by the nefarious Otto Von Walrus. The blubbery evil genius commands an army of oddly polite puffin henchmen. Swifty discovers Otto Von Walrus’ villainous plan to drill beneath the snow-packed surface to unleash masses of ancient gas to melt the Arctic and become the world’s supreme ruler. To stop this sinister scheme, Swifty enlists the help of his friends: PB, a neurotic polar bear, Lemmy, a scatterbrained albatross, Jade Fox, a brainy engineer, Leopold and Bertha, two conspiracy theorist otters and Magda, his curmudgeonly boss.

Serendipity

Serendipity began as a book, published on the occasion of Prune Nourry’s solo show at the Guimet National Asian Art Museum in Paris in 2017. The French-born, New York-based artist has spent the majority of her artistic career creating work that deals with women’s bodies and female fertility. A recent breast cancer diagnosis led Nourry to create Serendipity-now in the form of a stunning first-person documentary-which captures the subsequent evolution of her body, her work, her soul, and her mind. This impassioned, beautiful film embodies the artist’s belief that everything is connected, coincidence is an illusion, and “the essentials to life really are health, love, and art.”

Release date: October 18 (Limited)

[Movie News] Entertainment Weekly Gives a First Look at ‘Aquaman’

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

With the release of the Aquaman solo film only six months away, more details are beginning to emerge. Today, Entertainment Weekly released exclusive first images of the film. Aquaman is the feature of their most recent issue, including two collectible covers. One of them features Jason Momoa‘s Aquaman, Amber Heard‘s Mera, and Nicole Kidman‘s Queen Atlanna.

The first image gives us our first look at Black Manta, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The photo shows his character in a lab working on the iconic helmet of his super-suit. Director James Wan says about the character, “He’s part mercenary but full-time pirate who in his suit will look like some crazy alien from outer space… Black Manta is a really interesting character who is somehow factored into this story but our main story is about Jason and Patrick.”

Next is a photo of Aquaman staring down his ambitious brother King Orm (Patrick Wilson), also known as Ocean Master. He will be the film’s main antagonist, wanting to wage war on the surface world.

In a behind-the-scenes photo, director James Wan frames a scene between Aquaman, Mera, and Aquaman’s mentor Vulko (Willem DaFoe).

In the next photo, we see Aquaman and Mera on land. She is holding what could be a map. Her red hair appears much brighter than in her brief Justice League appearance, but I am a firm believer in waiting to see the final product before judging something.

The final image shows Queen Atlanna protectively holding her son as a child. She is clealy on the surface, but we do not know to whom she is speaking. In Justice League, we learn that Arthur Curry has been away from Atlantis for quite some time. Could this scene have something to do with that? It seems like we will have to wait until December to find that out!

In another EW article, Wan spoke about how he addressed the Atlanteans speaking underwater. In Justice League, Mera created a bubble of air so that she and Aquaman could speak. However, Wan decided to simplify things. “People are overthinking it,” Wan says. “They’re just gonna talk!” Fans have pointed out that Atlanteans would not need to breathe, making the bubble of air unnecessary. They would simply be able to speak as easily as you or I. Wan will add a bit if visual effects to suggest sound waves, but that is it. This is proof that sometimes the simplest solution is often the best one.

What do you think of these first Aquaman images? Are you excited to see Aquaman get his own movie? Let us know in the comments?

Aquaman will be in theaters December 21.

‘Aquaman’ Director James Wan Shares First Set Photo

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

Wonder Woman has another month before it hits theaters, but DC’s next solo superhero film has already started production. Aquaman began filming Tuesday, and director James Wan shared the first set photo on Twitter to celebrate.

“Months of intensive prep have led to this. Here we go. #DayOne #Ahab,” he wrote, sharing a photo of what appears to be the inside of a submarine.

 

Starring Jason Momoa as Aquaman Arthur Curry, the film synopsis is still very vague, stating, “Arthur Curry learns that he is the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, and must step forward to lead his people and to be a hero to the world. ”

The cast also includes Amber Heard as Arthur Curry’s love interest Mera, Patrick Wilson as Aquaman’s half-brother Orm (aka Oceanmaster), Willem Dafoe as Aquaman’s advisor Dr. Vulko, Nicole Kidman as Aquaman’s mother Queen Atlanna, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus of Xebel, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta.

Before his solo film, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman can be seen in November’s Justice League. Aquaman was originally scheduled to be released October 5, 2018, but will now come out December 21, 2018.

by May
written by May

Netflix recently released a teaser trailer for their upcoming film Death Note.  Inspired by the Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note tells a story of Light Yagami — a high school student who comes across a notebook that isn’t so ordinary, at least not the kind you would use to take notes during math class.

Light soon finds that the notebook is of a supernatural nature and allows the beholder who pens an individual’s name while imagining their face, that individual will die.  Seduced by this new ability and responsibility he holds, Light begins to eradicate those who he believes do not deserve to live.

Directed by Adam Wingard, Death Note stars Nat Wolff, Margaret Qualley, Lakeith Stanfield, Paul Nakauchi, Shea Whigham, and Willem Dafoe.  This original film is set to be released on Netflix on August 25th of this year.
