The 3 S's of The Suicide Squad: What We Know... And What We Don't
Suicide Squad is setting itself up to be one of the most highly anticipated superhero films of the year, as well as a movie that could make or break DC's vision for the future of their extended universe depending also on the success of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Suicide Squad has been a part of DC's animated universe through Justice League Unlimited and Batman: Assault on Arkham. We've also seen the Squad on the small screen in both Smallville and Arrow. Yet, this is their first major cinematic appearance even thought they debuted in the comics in 1959 within The Brave and the Bold, and then re-imagined in 1987's Legends #3. Take a look at the first trailer, if you haven't seen it already.

3 Reasons Why The Great Wall Is Going To Be An Epic Monster Movie
Let me start of by saying that if you haven't heard of The Great Wall yet, I wouldn't be totally shocked. The Great Wall is the brainchild of legendary Chinese director Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers, Flowers of War & Hero) Universal Studios, Le Vision Pictures and Legendary Pictures, who most recently brought us The Dark Knight trilogy and Gareth Edwards' Godzilla. The pairing of Chinese and Western film-making is like nothing Hollywood has seen and it's incredibly the most expensive Chinese movie to date. Check out the first trailer below.

Hunter S. Thompson Didn't Like Tobey Maguire in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'
You've probably heard of the man, the myth and the legend that was Hunter.S.Thompson. He lead an incredibly unusual lifestyle (to say the least) as a Gonzo-rock-star-esque writer in America during the swinging 60's, 70's and up until his suicide in the mid noughties. In 1998 his, arguably best, novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was brought to the BIG screen directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Benicio Del-Toro and Johnny Depp who played a version of Hunter. In one drug fueled scene early on in the film, as the characters race to Vegas they pick up a hitchhiker played by a fresh-faced Tobey Maguire.

The Dark Tower Movie Will Not Be a Direct Adaptation, and That's a Good Thing
The wheel of Ka is ever turning, fates are always in constant motion as life moves and brings people in and out of our lives. Situations change, but Ka remains. This is a sentiment that every fan of Steven King's The Dark Tower has held on to over the past decades as we've waited for the cinematic adaptation of this masterpiece to be developed. The production has seemingly been forever halted as numerous studios and directors have tried and failed, but now it seems that our patience has paid off since Ka never closes a door without opening a new one: all that's old will be renewed.
