In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Henry Cavill was asked if his Superman would act differently in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as opposed to his Superman from Man of Steel. The actor’s response, in reference to Man of Steel and the controversial ending was not a simple one, saying: “Let’s say now, [if] Superman has the same threat again, that’s a different story. He would, of course, bring collateral damage to an absolute minimum, but in that, he’s just trying to survive because if he doesn’t, the planet’s gone. That’s the excuse I make for Superman. He’s fresh and he’s new, and it’s very easy to point out the faults in someone after they’ve done it, but put yourself in their shoes and see what happens.” When asked about his relationship with Batman in the movie, Cavill added: ‘That’s his weakness, that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He doesn’t want to scare anyone, and in that you can take advantage of him. It makes it very easy to take advantage of him… This is someone who is a complete amateur, and he’s facing up against someone who is very well versed in the arts of war.” During a conference call yesterday Disney head honcho Bob Iger talked a bit about the plans for the Young Han Solo movie, revealing that it will actually be an origin story about the scruffy nerfherder and an origin story about his walking carpet companion, Chewbacca. In addition to confirming Chewbacca’s appearance, Iger assured the Disney investors that the Star Wars Story films outside of the main saga would be marketed “differently, but aggressively.” The as yet untitled Han Solo movie is written by Lawrence Kasdan with his son, Jon Kasdan and directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord. The film is scheduled to be released on May 25, 2018. BUY OR SELL Back in 2010, Sacha Baron Cohen was attached to play Queen front-man Freddie Mercury in a biopic based on his life and the life of the band. In an interview on the Howard Stern Show to promote The Brothers Grimsby, Sasha Baron Cohen explained why he decided to leave the project, claiming that a member of Queen wanted Freddie Mecury to die in the middle of the movie so they could focus on how the band carried on with the remaining members. Baron Cohen explained that, no one would want to see a movie where the lead character dies from AIDS in the middle of the film. A24 has released the first trailer for The Adderall Diaries, a dramatic thriller starring James Franco as author Stephen Elliot, whose fascination with a high-profile murder case leads him to his own troubled past. The movie is the feature debut for writer-director Pamela Romanowsky, and stars Franco, Amber Heard, Christian Slater, Cynthia Nixon, Jim Parrack and Wilmer Valderrama. The movie debuts in theatres on April 15th. A new, Australian international trailer for Paul Feig’s rebooted Ghostbusters has been released. The movie, which stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones also features Chris Hemsworth, who was barely seen in the first trailer. This new look gives us a few alternative jokes and significantly more Chris Hemsworth. Ghostbusters will drop in theatres this July 15th.
