Day: December 23, 2021

Another much, much delayed movie victim of COVID is finally getting ready for release. Fourteen months ago we had a trailer for this movie, and now, finally, we get a follow-up trailer for Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile from Fox Studios.

This is a follow-up to Murder On The Orient Express and Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh is back as detective Hercule Poirot. Like that movie he also directs.

Poirot is aboard a luxurious river steamer in Egypt, among the glamorous passengers, when violent deaths rip through the ship.

This is the second big-screen adaptation. A 1978 film starred Peter Ustinov, David Niven, Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith, and George Kennedy. It has also been adapted in the UK for television with David Suchet in the role of Poirot.

They have a unique challenge here. Since the movie was shot, there were some allegations made about one of the stars of the movie, Armie Hammer, and a scandal enveloped the actor. Allegations were investigated and, to date, no charges have been brought. However, this is Hollywood and with PR teams in full flight innocent until proven guilty does not apply.

Agents dropped him and filmmakers removed him from projects. This movie was already in the can, so what to do?

The new trailer seems to play down his involvement, particularly from the first trailer. His character is essentially the second male lead if the story is presented as per the novel so it will be interesting to see how they play this.

Annette Bening, Letitia Wright, Russell Brand, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Rose Leslie, Tom Bateman, Sophie Okonedo, Emma Mackey, and Ali Fazal co-star in the film.

The release date is February 11th, 2022.

Sam Mendes is one of those directors that doesn’t make a lot of movies, but when he does make one, it’s usually pretty good. Quality over quantity. American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Skyfall, 1917 to name a few. He has only made 8 feature films in the space of 22 years.

His first big movie, American Beauty, earned him an Academy Award for Best Director, and the movie won Best Picture. In total, his movies have racked up a combination of 12 Oscars and 31 nominations. Not to mention that he directed two of the highest-grossing James Bond movies ever.

His newest movie, Empire of Light, is now spinning up and cast announcements have been made. So far the cast includes Olivia Colman, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Michael Ward, Crystal Clarke, and Tanya Moodie.

Personally, I love Toby Jones. He’s been in huge movies, like Captain America: The First Avenger, but is also happy to star in smaller British TV roles like the Detectorists. If you have missed that, it’s worth checking out. It’s a very sweet comedy from the UK written and directed by Mackenzie Crook (The Office, Pirates Of The Caribbean).

The plot of Empire of Light is still very much under wraps, but is…

Described as a love story set in and around a beautiful old cinema on the South Coast of England in the 1980s.

Maybe something like Cinema Paradiso? You can read a Retro Review of that movie here.

Mendes has written the screenplay alone, which is a first for him. He did write 1917, but that was alongside Kysty Wilson-Cairns. He will be working with Roger Deakins again, the cinematographer known for 1917, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Skyfall, True Grit (2010), No Country For Old Men, and The Shawshank Redemption, to name just a few of his 88 movies.

There is no news on when Empire of Light will be out, but it’s thought to be around the autumn (or fall, for our US readers) of 2022.

Marvel Studios’ latest posters for Spider-Man: No Way Home feature Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange and the mirror dimension.

Tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home are finally available. In celebration of the event, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have released three new posters from Tom Holland’s latest Spidey adventure, as well as a cheeky promotional video. We’ve known for a while that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is set to be a main player in No Way Home, but the latest posters solidify his presence in the Spidey threequel.

Doctor Strange is seen alongside Spider-Man in two new posters. The first poster sees Spider-Man in the Iron-Spider suit hanging from a web with Benedict Cumberbatch’s good doctor levitating alongside him. The Green Goblin looms in the background as Doctor Octopus’s tentacles and Electro’s lightning strike the Avengers duo. Behind them, the mirror dimension is seen folding into itself.

The second poster features the exact same make-up but Spider-Man is rocking a traditional suit as opposed to the Iron-Spider one. The final poster is an exclusive IMAX one-sheet. In the poster, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is by himself, swinging through the trippy mirror dimension.

Here is the synopsis for Spider-Man: No Way Home:

For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is umasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.

Directed by Jon Watts from a script written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Marvel’s latest stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Benedict Wong, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Alfred Molina.

Spider-Man: No Way Home will hit theaters on December 17, 2021. Stay tuned for all the latest news surrounding the film, and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.

The first episode of Hawkeye features a hilarious continuity error that you won’t believe you missed.

Marvel Studios may be the biggest live-action producer in the world but that doesn’t mean the company isn’t prone to mistakes. Just ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s release, fans found a major goof in Spider-Manhttps://heroichollywood.com/spider-man-homecoming-mistake-internet-storm/: Homecoming that was hidden in plain sight. It turns out that there are some goofs and errors in Marvel’s latest as well.

Hawkeye opened its first episode with a flashback to Kate Bishop’s childhood. The year? 2012, when the Avengers fought in the battle of New York. Despicable Me hit cinemas in 2010, which means that Bishop was probably a huge fan of it. In fact, she was such a huge fan of it that she has an activity book from the franchise tucked in her room. Except, the activity book in question didn’t arrive until 2021. ComicBook.com was the first to discover the goof.

If you go on Amazon, you can see that the activity book became available for purchase in 2021. The activity book is also for Minions: The Rise of Gru, a film not slated to hit cinemas until next year. Kate Bishop is either a time traveler.

Here is the synopsis for Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye:

Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit.

Hawkeye stars Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld, Tony Dalton, Fra Free, Brian d’Arcy James, Aleks Paunovic, Piotr Adamczyk, Linda Cardellini, Simon Callow, Vera Farmiga and Alaqua Cox. Florence Pugh is expected to return in her Black Widow role.

The first two episodes of Hawkeye are now available to stream on Disney Plus, with new episodes dropping on Wednesdays. Stay tuned for all the latest news surrounding the Jeremy Renner series and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.

The Graham Norton Show shared a fake poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home featuring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

The press tour for Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently underway. Tom Holland and Zendaya made an appearance on The Graham Norton Show to promote the film, and the official Twitter account for the talk-show shared an interesting poster to promote their appearance.

In a now-deleted tweet, The Graham Norton Show Twitter account shared an unofficial poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home that features Tom Holland’s titular superhero alongside the suits that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield wear in their respective films:

With the marketing campaign in full swing, Sony Pictures is looking to heavily promote the appearance of its five villains from different universes of Spider-Man.

“For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero’s identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk. When he enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse.”

Smoove, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Benedict Wong, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Thomas Haden Church, and Rhys Ifans with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield heavily rumored to appear.
