Daniel Craig confirms he'll be back as James Bond for "Bond 25"


Looks like James Bond fans who were wondering about Daniel Craig's tenure as 007 continuing for the next film can breathe easy, as the English actor appeared in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and confirmed that he is returning as the British Secret Service agent in the as of yet untitled "Bond 25" sequel.


Taking to Twitter to share the very good news, here is Craig saying "YES" to Colbert's question of whether or not he's coming back... And shaking hands afterwards!
With Colbert asking if this is the last James Bond he'll be doing, Craig answered "I think this is it". His latest performance as the character was in 2015's "Spectre", which was once again directed by "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes.


The untitled 25th James Bond film is expected to be released on November 2019.

Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills in first poster and trailer to "Tak3n"


They took his daughter in the first movie. Then they took him and his wife. Now, Liam Neeson returns as ex-government operative Bryan Mills to clear his name from a murder he did not commit, in the new sequel to the Taken film series with "Tak3n", or better known as Taken 3.

Via the official Facebook page of the movie, 20th Century Fox has released the first trailer and banner poster for the new film. While the former name certainly is a strange choice, it still shows that Neeson is back in his element and will be playing Mills once more. Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen return as Mills' family, while Forest Whitaker joins the cast as Franck Dotzler. Olivier Megaton returns to direct with Luc Besson once again producing.

TAKEN 3 | Exclusive Trailer

Now, here is the first trailer to the third film where Mills employs a "particular set of skills". Taken 3 will be released in theaters on January 9, 2015.

Scarlett Johansson explodes with power and skill in the first trailer for "Lucy"

What would you get if you had a movie from the guy who directed Nikita, The Professional, and The Fifth Element and wrote/ produced the Transporter and Taken films, and put Scarlett Johansson in the lead and Morgan Freeman thrown in for good measure as well?



Simple... You get LUCY.

Directed by Luc Besson, "Lucy" is a sci-fi action film that sees a girl get abducted and turned to a drug mule... And suddenly gains powers and skills beyond our comprehension after the cargo is accidentally ingested into her system. You can think it's like "The Matrix" meets "Wanted" and "Taken", but with the beautiful actress who plays Natascha Romanoff/ Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... And Lucius Fox/ God added in the form of Morgan Freeman.

Watch the trailer via MovieClips Trailers and GeekTyrant... And simply be AMAZED.

Lucy hits theaters c/o Universal Pictures on August 8, 2014.

The Expendables 3: Official Press Release reveals full cast and plot synopsis


Looks like Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the rest of the gang from the first two Expendables are set to return to heavy duty action next year, along with new cast additions Harrision Ford, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, and Mel Gibson for one intense and personal adventure with The Expendables 3!

As seen in Slash Film and other movie news sites, Lionsgate and Stallone have released the official press release for the upcoming new sequel as production officially begins this month, revealing who's set to appear (minus Bruce Willis of course), as well as what exactly the plot is and what kind of villain Mel Gibson plays versus Sly's Barney Ross and his ragtag team of Expendables!

The Expendables 3 loses Bruce Willis, but gets Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, and Antonio Banderas

3 legendary names in Hollywood and the action film business have joined Sylvester Stallone's "Pure Testosterone Action" club, and it looks like we're in for some heavy hittin' awesomeness come next year!


After rumors and reports of their participation swirling for months, it's now official that Harrison "Indiana Jones/ Han Solo" Ford, Mel "Martin Riggs/ Braveheart" Gibson, and Antonio "El Mariachi/ Puss in Boots" Banderas will be joining Sly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and the rest of the gang for "The Expendables 3"! The news comes via Superherohype and Entertainment Weekly, and is pretty much looking good for fans of these guys itching to see a reunion of sorts for some very familiar names in Action Movie History.

Uniting many familiar names from the action hero genre together, this will be the third film in the franchise set to be released by next August, and we can only wonder where Barney Ross and his ragtag crew of mercenaries will do next! What's confirmed is that Mel will be playing the villain, much like what he's doing this year for Machete Kills.

On the other hand, it appears Bruce Willis isn't saddling up for a return as Church for the new sequel, as he and Stallone haven't come to an agreement and it didn't pan out. Read more on the story via Superherohype's article here. Rumors are also swirling that Wesley Snipes, Steven Seagal, and Jackie Chan may join the club, but we'll have to wait for more official word on that in the future.

The Expendables 3 is set for release on August 15, 2014.

Escape Plan: Stallone and Schwarzenegger team up to escape a tough prison


Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Rambo and Commando.

Rocky and The Terminator.

They're two of the biggest names in Action Hero film history, and back in the day, made a lot of people want to see the films they starred in just by their names alone. They've appeared together for the first time thanks to Stallone's testosterone action hero love letter team up film that was The Expendables and it's sequel, The Expendables 2. However, Schwarzenegger's role there was more of a cameo than a co-star, so it technically doesn't count.

All that changes this year however, as Sly and Ahnold have to work side-by-side to escape the toughest prison ever built, in a new action thriller that'll test their skills and limits - Escape Plan.

Via IGN, here's the very first trailer to the film.
