Here’s What the New Ghostbusters Will Look Like
Production is already underway on the new Ghostbusters remake, and director Paul Feig has tweeted the first pics of the new Ghostbuster uniforms and proton packs. Neither one is going to be nearly as iconic as the originals, but hey, at least they’re trying.
Personally, I’m fairly confident that nothing in this movie is going to be nearly as iconic or as amazing as the original. When do remakes ever work? But hey, whatever, I’m not in charge of Hollywood. This is the all-female remake starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
It’s also starring Chris Hemsworth as the new receptionist, and there’s something kind of funny I’d like to point out to you all about that. In researching this little post, I scoped out the film’s IMDB page and found something rather perplexing. This is film is making waves for being an all-women remake, and Chris Hemsworth is only playing the receptionist, not a Ghostbuster. Yet Hemsworth is listed first among the actors. I realize he’s Chris Hemsworth…but should he really be listed as the star of this movie? Doesn’t that kind of defeat the point? Just sayin’…

Literal Trailers are Back!
It’s been a year since Internet comedian Tobuscus made one of his awesome Literal Trailers, and I’d all but given up hope that any more were coming. But I was browsing Youtube yesterday and stumbled upon the fact that he’s made three in the past month!
Enjoy!

New Spider-Man Cast! On This Totally Random Tuesday!
Our new Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man is going to be Tom Holland! I’ve never heard of him, but apparently he’s appeared in The Impossible and Wolf Hall, which I assume are movies!
Still would have preferred Miles Morales
The next Spider-Man movie is also going to be directed by a guy named Jon Watts, who has worked on almost nothing! He’s got a movie, Cop Car, coming out soon. Maybe Marvel saw a preview and liked it? Or maybe they saw his credits working on The Onion News Network? I don’t know.
I just find it very curious that this casting was announced today, a random Tuesday at the end of June.
It’s not like anything else important was happening today…possibly involving Marvel’s biggest competitor…

I’m Not Sure Why the Ant-Man Movie Doesn’t Do More With Its Dad Angle
Ant-Man is a single father, and that’s pretty rare when it comes to these superhero movies. I’m not sure why Marvel aren’t focusing on that a bit more in the marketing.
Possibly because they just want to focus on the action and humor? Does that stand a better chance of getting butts into seats? Maybe! But Cassie Lang looks adorable in this movie.
Happy Father’s Day, too!

Did You Hear They’re Making a Third Kung Fu Panda?
I like the Kung Fu Panda series. I like the first movie, I like the second movie, and I’m jazzed for a third movie. What’s not to love? They’re fun and funny films, with a really likable cast and great moments. That ‘there is no secret ingredient’ moment at the end of the first movie is phenomenal, as is the cannonball sequence at the end of the second. Just gorgeous.
So what will the third movie bring?
Bryan Cranston!
Though I’m a little confused why Kung Fu Panda 3 would come out in January. That’s a movie dead zone. Do they not have any faith in this movie? Is the Kung Fu Panda series not a tentpole franchise? Or is Hollywood trying to make January movies a thing now?
Also, if you’re so interested, a Chinese trailer was also released which shows a ton more footage, some of it pretty amazing. Bryan Cranston is great, and all, but check out the action in this trailer.
Now that’s a Kung Fu Panda movie!
