JARED LETO COULD BE STARRING IN DISNEY'S TRON REBOOT!


Considering Jared Leto’s crazy antics during the filming of last year’s Suicide Squad, it’s natural to speculate how far the method actor will go to prepare for any given role. 

 For example, if he landed the lead role in a video game movie, would he do all he could to immerse himself in the gamer culture? Well we could have the chance to see as the news broke yesterday afternoon that Walt Disney Pictures is now “circling” Jared Leto to possibly star in a new reboot of their TRON franchise. 

 The TRON movies, for those unfamiliar, involve electronic characters inside the world of video games. If the project does move on, it would be Disney’s third TRON movie, following the first film in the 1980s (starring Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner) and its direct sequel, TRON: Legacy in 2010 (starring Garrett Hedlund as Bridges’ character’s son). A third movie, then called TRON: Ascension, had reportedly almost started filming in 2015, but it was scrapped soon after filming began. 

 Curiously, director Joseph Kosinski revealed details of that film earlier this week, saying that it wasn’t dead after all and that it was sort of like an “invasion movie.” Today’s news about Jared Leto and the new reboot doesn’t mention anything about the Ascension script being used, although Leto’s “Ares” character reportedly was introduced in Kosinski’s previous screenplay. It’s also not known if Joseph Kosinkski will return to direct this reboot.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
