Samuel Jackson is not in ‘Captain America: Civil War’, doesn’t know why. Wants contract extension.
One of the biggest, most looming personalities in the MCU is going to be absent from Captain America: Civil War. And the man himself has no fucking clue why. I have, I have to hope there is a narrative explanation for this, and it isn’t Marvel not wanting to pay the actor. Shit. Even if their is a narrative explanation for the absence, I have a hard time swallowing it.
James Wan officially directing ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Robotech’
I don’t think James Wan is a particularly good director. His aesthetic choices in Furious 7, especially following the master auteur Justin Lin’s vision of the franchise, were certainly off-putting to me. But he’s accessible enough, and capable of helming an enormous flick. Now he’s helming two.

Eddie Redmayne starring in ‘Harry Potter’ spin-off, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’
This news isn’t for me, folks. I’m just imagining there’s some portion of our non-existent fanbase that may find this relevant. Cause me? Didn’t read the book, may not see the movie.
The Rock starring in ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ remake. Oh?
I love Big Trouble in Little China. I love The Rock? But I don’t know if I love this.
‘Layer Cake’ sequel starring Jason Statham filming in 2016
Remember Layer Cake? I do! And I enjoyed it. So I’m a little excited that we will be getting a sequel to the flick, though the absence of Daniel Craig bums me out a midge.
Chris Pine in talks to join ‘Wonder Woman’ as character’s love interest
An actor IDGAF about is joining a movie I don’t have much faith in. How you taking this news?
