The latest trailer for Pete’s Dragon has been released giving fans a more in depth look at the live action adaptation of the Disney classic, with many fans commenting on the Spielberg-ish vibe. The movie is co-written and directed by Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’ David Lowery and stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence and Robert Redford. Pete’s Dragon will be released by Disney nationwide on August 12th.
According to a report from THR, San Andreas director Brad Peyton has come on board to direct Malignant Man, a sci-fi/action project being produced by Conjuring 2 director James Wan; based on the Boom Studios comic that he co-created. The story focuses on Alex Gates, a patient dying of a terminal disease who is resigned to his fate … until he discovers that his malignant tumor is actually a mysterious alien parasite.

When the first trailer for Doctor Strange debuted, fans were given a look at a noticeably different Marvel movie, with many fans comparing it to Inception” and “The Matrix” but in the MCU. And while the final product will probably follow the familiar beats of a Marvel movie, Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the film’s mysterious villain, says the movie will be offering a twist on the what we can expect.
The idea of an Independence Day sequel changed a few times before finally getting a greenlight. Originally, director Roland Emmerich wrote multiple sequels with Will Smith in mind to reprise his role as Captain Hiller. When that didn’t happen, he had Hiller die during a test flight of new alien technology. What ended up in the final cut of Independence Day: Resurgence is a story about a team of young individuals fighting a new wave of alien invaders using alien tech recovered from the first. During a stint as guest editor for Empire magazine, Emmerich revealed the alternate concept for the movie.
Straight from E3 comes a new featurette for the Assassin’s Creed film starring Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch. While the actor and his Macbeth helmer Justin Kurzel tease the intense action sequences and the cinematic experience of the video game brought to life, the footage takes us on a trip through time and Callum’s past life, with Fassbender explaining there are two major forces in this film: the assassins who fight for freewill, and their adversaries, the Templars who “are trying to enhance human kind through science.”
When it comes to Deadpool 2, we know very little about what we will see in the sequel, other than a return of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with the Mouth alongside director Tim Miller and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick along with a promise of the bionic-armed Cable character. That’s not much to go on, but while we wait for more information to come to light, actor Ed Skrein has an idea for who the new villain should be.
