20th Century Fox has released the latest
X-Men: Apocalypse trailer which sets the
Four Horsemen of
Magneto,
Storm,
Angel and
Psylocke against the
X-Men led by
Professor X.
Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant, amasses the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he finds and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. X-Men Apocalypse lands in theatres this May 27th.
According to an exclusive at TheWrap,
Warner Bros. and
DC Entertainment have hired
Wonder Woman and Pan screenwriter
Jason Fuchs to write their Lobo movie. Sources for the Wrap suggest Fuchs will start from scratch with his own take on the Lobo character, an alien who works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter.
The project was originally developed by
San Andreas director
Brad Peyton with
Joel Silver and
Akiva Goldsman producing but no word on whether or not any of them will remain on the project.
Director Michael Mann, known for his gritty crime dramas like
Collateral, Heat and
The Insider has expanded his resume to include books now, with
Deadline reporting he will launch the imprint Michael Mann
Books, which will simultaneously develop books for film and television. The first book to movie project will be a prequel to his
1995 crime thriller, Heat. The story will center on the characters of played by
Al Pacino and
Robert De Niro.

While big
Hollywood heavyweights such as
JJ Abrams and
Steven Spielberg have publicly backed
Sean Parker’s movie streaming service, Screening
Room, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron and his producing partner are not feeling the same way. In a story from
Variety Nolan,
Cameron and his
Titanic producer
Jon Landau, have declared early opposition against the proposal with Nolan agreeing with Landau’s statement released earlier that they need to protect the sanctity of in-theatre experience.
THR is reporting that
Dana Brunetti, who was hired to reorganize and run
Relativity Media after its bankruptcy, entered into a dual with The Crow movie right holders as to how exactly to reboot the franchise for the studio. And now, according to TheWrap, the latest director to
sign on, Corin
Hardy, has been removed from the project by Brunetti, adding yet another name to the list of stars and filmmakers who’ve left the project over the years. With lawyers now on both sides of the property looking into the rights, it looks like it will be a long time before we see a
Crow movie again, if ever.
The long rumored second sequel to Bill and Ted’s
Excellent Adventure just got an update from Ted himself. Speaking with
IGN, Keanu Reeves offered his positive vibes on the movie, revealing that they now have help from the studio. Reeves said they are trying to figure it out with the script.
