A New Terror Rises

By Franco Dionisio



Take a look at three new pieces of promotional material for the upcoming monster reboot, The Mummy from Universal.






Universal Official Press Release:

Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy. 

Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.


From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television’s Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV’s American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).


The creative team on this action-adventure event is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in the Transformers, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on. Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, produces alongside Kurtzman and Morgan. www.themummy.com


The Mummy is set for release June 9th, 2017.

New Pirates 5 TV Spot and Featurette 

Swashbuckling Franchise Returns 

By Steven Cater



Take a look at some new promotional material for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales including a look at the Legacy of the blockbuster franchise.







Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack's only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.

Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg are directing “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” with Jerry Bruckheimer producing. The executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Joe Caracciolo, Jr. and Brigham Taylor. Jeff Nathanson wrote the screenplay. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” drops anchor in U.S. theaters on May 26, 2017.

DC Go Digital with New Titans Show & Young Justice: Outsiders

DC Go Digital with New Titans Show & Young Justice: Outsiders

New Streaming Service Incoming

By Alex Burns



Here's an interesting piece of news, according to The Hollywood Reporter, DC Entertainment are launching a new digital service in 2018 by teaming up with Warner Bros. Television.

With DC Comics properties already well represented on film and network television you may be wondering what heroes could feature on such a platform. The early answer appears to be sidekicks. The two shows set to launch the new service will be Titans and Young Justice: Outsiders, both projects focusing on teams of the more youthful heroes in DC's stable.

A new live-action series, Titans will be produced by Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, and overseen by DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns. Focusing Batman's protege, Dick Grayson, the series will follow this young hero as he emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes, including Starfire, Raven and many others. This has been a project long in-development as TNT originally looked set to move ahead with a series pick-up before pulling out around a year ago, with the success of The Flash, Supergirl and Arrow on the CW, there's always been rumours that DC Entertainment hadn't given up on the show, this new digital service looks to be the perfect launchpad for property.


Young Justice: Outsiders is a continuation of the Young Justice show that originally aired on Cartoon Network before being cancelled after two short, but very well received, seasons. Fan power really gave this third season the grenlight as continued streaming of the show on Netflix proved to DC that the audience was ready for more. For this new batch of episode the young heroes will face their greatest challenge yet in the form of a sinister meta-human trafficking organisation. This new threat spells serious trouble for a society now caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning not only the globe but the entire galaxy.

These new shows will air exclusively on DC's digital platform. The service is described as an "immersive experience designed just for DC fans."

There are sure to be more announcements on this exciting revelation so keep it locked at Cape and Cowl. What DC shows would you like to see on this digital service, is it even something you'd subscribe to? Let us know!

Dick Grayson is set to play a pivotal role in this new service and also his own solo film, check out our thoughts on how a Nightwing film should play out in the podcast below.

Disney Announces Film Schedule

By Franco Dionisio



Disney have revealed their upcoming tent-pole film movie slate and two big announcements are the release dates for Star Wars: Episode IX and the fifth Indiana Jones film!

Previously locked for a 2019 release date, Star Wars Episode IX will now officially hit theatres around the world on May 24th, 2019. The change of scheduling from the Winter season is a big move for Disney as it looks to cement Star Wars in the Summer blockbuster landscape - The Force Awakens and Rogue One both released in December and Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is set for a December 19th release this year. It will be interesting to see if a return to Summer release window for the Star Wars franchise boosts an already very healthy box office return. Star Wars: Episode IX continues the new saga Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow is directing.



Making way for Star Wars is the still untitled fifth Indian Jones feature. Originally set for a July 19th, 2019 release, the iconic adventure franchise will now debut on July 10th, 2020. Harrison Ford is set to return in the titular role and Steven Speilberg is back to direct, hopes are high for this one after 2008's The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull failed to live up to high audience expectations.
