On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (April 28th, 2016) Dennis Tzeng, Kristian Harloff, and John Rocha discuss the following: -Alicia Vikander cast as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider reboot -New trailer and posters for LAIKA’s Kubo and the Two Strings -X-Men video goes behind the scenes of the X-Mansion -New retro trailer for The Nice Guys (http://collider.com/the-nice-guys-new-trailer/) -The Omen prequel in development -New Werewolf horror comedy The Wildness in development -Box Office Predictions -Mail Bag After a slew of reports pegged Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley as the new Lara Croft in the rebooted Tomb Raider movie, THR debunked that casting, revealing Oscar winner Alicia Vikander as the one to nab the role. The project, which has The Wave director Roar Uthaug on board to direct, will tell the story of a young and untested Croft fighting to survive her first adventure. The story mirrors a similar plot line from the 2013 reboot of the video game, which saw young Lara stranded on an island, having to fend for herself against animals, the weather and a ton of bad guys. BUY OR SELL Focus Features has unveiled the final trailer and four new posters for Kubo and the Two Strings, the LAIKA studios highly anticipated stop-motion animated film. The Japanese based, supernatural story is noted as being the studios most ambitious film to date. LAIKA’s previous films include Coraline, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls. The film follows a young storyteller named Kubo who accidentally summons a spirit from his past who arrives with a serious vendetta. Kubo must then team up with Monkey and Beetle to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father. A new behind the scenes featurette for the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse has been released and sponsored by Coldwell Banker. The video gives fans a tour of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, with comments from director Brian Singer, stars Sophie Turner and James McAvoy, as well as production designer Grant Major and others. Warner Bros. has released a new retro trailer for the Shane Black directed The Nice Guys. The noir thriller-comedy takes place in 1970s Los Angeles, revolving around a down-on-his-luck private eye played by Ryan Gosling, who must team up with a hired leg-breaker, played by Russell Crowe, to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. The new trailer harkens back to the films of that time, giving us a real taste of what we can expect from Black’s movie. In a report from THR, a prequel at Fox is being developed for the 1976 Richard Donner directed Omen movie entitled, The First Omen. Ben Jacoby wrote the script with David Goyer producing through his Phantom Four production company. The original movie spawned two sequels and a reboot, but the franchise has yet to explore the origins before Damien’s arrival. 6) In a report from The Wrap, Bron Studios’ genre label The Realm has signed on to produce a werewolf-infused horror/comedy entitled The Wildness. The movie revolves around a ski bum who’s pushing 40 and “still has a penchant for drugs, babes and transcendental meditation.” However, he’s forced to become a hero in order to save a mountainside community that’s “too drunk on wild parties and over-development to notice that their kids are being systematically turned into werewolves.” BOX OFFICE PREDICTIONS MAIL BAG LIVE TWITTER QUESTIONS Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ColliderVideo Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ColliderVideo Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliderdotcom Follow Dennis: https://twitter.com/ThinkHero Follow Kristian: https://twitter.com/KristianHarloff Follow John: https://twitter.com/TheRochasays Follow Natasha: https://twitter.com/Natashalexis_ As the online source for movies, television, breaking news, incisive content, and imminent trends, Collider Videos is more than an essential destination.
