Judas and the Black Messiah , a movie about the betrayal and assassination of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Black Panther Party. Starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield . Only in theaters 2021. “You can murder a revolutionary, but you can’t murder a revolution."  Chairman Fred Hampton was 21 years old when he was assassinated by the FBI, who coerced a petty criminal named William O’Neal to help them silence him and the Black Panther Party. But they could not kill Fred Hampton’s legacy and, 50 years later, his words still echo…louder than ever.  I am a revolutionary!   In 1968, a young, charismatic activist named Fred Hampton became Chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, who were fighting for freedom, the power to determine the destiny of the Black community, and an end to police brutality and the slaughter of Black people.   Chairman Fred was inspiring a generation to rise up and not back down to oppression, which put him dir...

New Trailer For The Amazing Spider–Man 2

Here is the second trailer for The Amazing Spider–Man 2 . We get our first look at the Green Goblin, The Rhino & Electro. The second film finds Peter embracing his superheroic side and finding the fun in Spidey, at least at first. There’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen ( Emma Stone ). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only he can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro ( Jamie Foxx ), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn ( Dane DeHaan ), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. Please Leave A Comment-

New Images From The Amazing Spider–Man 2

Though it has stayed quiet recently as other big movies got their hype machines geared up, The Amazing Spider–Man 2 is ready to leap back into the game with a series of new images, a huge banner showing off some intriguing elements and a second trailer promised for Thursday. "I wanted to create something operatic, something huge,” Webb tells the paper’s site. “And if anything, this film is about the greatest battle Spider-Man's ever had to face. You'll understand and feel the intensity and the overwhelming nature of the obstacles in Spider-Man's path." The franchise’s Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield , also chimed in: "Our story deals a lot in choice. The power that you attain as a human being, it is your choice about what to do with it. And what's great about Spider-Man is he went from having no power, and the idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely, that is an incredibly rich idea to explore." Well, you know what they say about great pow...

Could There Be Spider-Man Spin-Off Film In The Future?

We do very much have the ambition about creating a bigger universe around Spider-Man . There are a number of scripts in the works” involving characters and villains in the series, Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Michael Lynton told analysts in a Q&A session wrapping up his operation’s first meeting with investors. But he didn’t offer details, except that Sony is “working closely with Marvel and Disney.” But lest fans of the Marvel world take that to mean that Spider-Man could finally join his buddies in an upcoming The Avengers or other Marvel/Disney film — think again. Sony’s longtime rights deal with Marvel for Spider-Man allows them to exploit any character within the superhero’s universe — including villains, girlfriends or even Aunt May. But Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009, owns merchandising rights to Spider-Man and those related characters, so any further exploitation would have to involve Disney. While Sony today promised to hold down costs, especially for films,...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Comic-Con Recap

There's been a big presence at this year's Comic-Con for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , but the press conference today with director Marc Webb, producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach and stars Andrew Garfield, Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaan was the first real word on what the film has to offer. "The universe that we conceived of began before we started shooting the first movie," said Webb of the over-arching story, "but the primary focus was executing this movie as best we could. This is operatic. There's a hugeness of scale to this movie. The ensemble is extraordinary, but it's cohesive and direct, and there's a simple unifying theme at the heart of the film that I think will be impactful. But it's fun teasing other characters, and if you pay attention to this movie you'll see what we're setting up what might come next." He also discussed the film's take on new bad guy Electro, played by Jamie Foxx. "There are a lot of incarnat...

The Showdown. Electro VS Spider-Man

With Comic-Con now mere days away, the various movies set to make an appearance at the event are getting a start on pimping what audiences can expect. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is just one of the projects hitting the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue, with a proper first look at Jamie Foxx as Electro. Looking like a living plasma globe, Foxx certainly comes across as effective, even if the real test will be how the makeup works on film. Chances are we’ll get to judge that with some footage at the Con, and maybe even an early trailer hitting the web. Director Marc Webb, meanwhile, seems happy to have the birth pangs out of the way and relishes the chance to focus on the future. “People aren’t scared. With the first one I felt it was important to retell that origin story,” he says. “But that was kind of brutal because people were so familiar with it. Now that the origin story is done? We’re off to the races. It’s incredibly liberating.” We’re hoping that means a les...

Jennifer Lopez Joins Antonio Banderas In The 33

Jennifer Lopez has signed on to join Antonio Banderas in the Chilean miner film The 33 . Mike Medavoy is producing the drama, based on the true story of the 33 Chilean miners who were rescued after being trapped for 69 days in 2010. The film will mark Lopez's first big-screen role since starring opposite Jason Statham in this year's action-thriller Parker . Martin Sheen and Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro also have boarded the ensemble film, which was presented to foreign buyers at last month’s Cannes Film Festival. Good Universe is handling international sales. Patricia Riggen (La Misma Luna) is directing from a screenplay written by Mikko Alanne and Jose Rivera, with production scheduled to begin in the fall in Chile. In 2011, Medavoy nabbed the rights to the 33 miners, whose remarkable rescue from the San Jose Mine garnered headlines worldwide. The men were trapped half a mile beneath the Earth’s surface. Banderas is playing the role of Mario Sepulveda, the ch...

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 & 4 Are In The Works

We hope Andrew Garfield didn’t have too many movie roles planned for the next five years or so, because Sony wants to keep him in the Spidey suit for a while yet. Displaying the typical confidence of big studios in keeping their franchises swinging, the company has just announced that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will arrive on June 10, 2016 and the fourth on May 4, 2018. Yes, even though the second film – due to touch down here next year – isn’t finished and the reaction to the first wasn’t quite as positive as all involved likely hoped, nothing is stopping the superhero momentum. “ Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years,” said Sony marketing boss Jeff Blake in a statement. It’s also a sign of the studio wanting to wrangle those dates before anyone else can lock them down. So while we don’t yet know who will appear in the new movies, or...

First Image Of Jamie Foxx As Electro From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

Thanks to Superherohype , here are first pictures of Jamie Foxx lookin like a crazzy Smurf, literally, as the villain Electro on NY set of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN . Foxx   addressed his costumed appearance in the "Spider-Man" sequel. Though Electro is best remembered by comics fans for his tight green outfit with a jagged yellow mask, Foxx revealed that the "Amazing" sequel is ditching that classic look in exchange for something considerably more modern. "It won't be like that," Foxx said when asked about the character's costume from the comics. "Marc Webb and all of those guys, they're smart. They know that it has to make sense in 2013, so the suit is really slick. It's actually black. It's a new age." See all the images after the Jump... "I'm really excited about it," the actor added about his upcoming "Spider-Man" appearance. "My daughter is excited about it ...

Chris Cooper Joins The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The actor joins an all-star cast of villains that includes Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti . Chris Cooper has signed on to play Norman Osborn in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for Columbia Pictures. The character of Osborn is pivotal in the franchise because he is the alter ego of the Green Goblin, which was played by Willem Dafoe in the original Spider-Man movies. It is unclear whether Cooper will make his villainous turn in this film or in a sequel. Osborn starts out as a mentor to the superhero before turning bad. The film stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the webslinger and his love interest.11 The screenplay is by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. The film will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. The sequel is set for release May 2, 2014. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

Paul Giamatti Could Play "The Rhino" In The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Paul Giamatti is in talks to join The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as the villain known as The Rhino. The duo would bolster an already impressive cast. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are back as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, Jamie Foxx is portraying bad guy Electro, Shailene Woodley is Mary Jane Watson, and Dane DeHaan is Harry Osborne. The Rhino first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #41 in 1966 as a thug from a Soviet Bloc country who wore a superhuman suit that made him invulnerable while giving him superstrength and superspeed. It also had a deadly horn on top. In more recent comics, he became a sympathetic figure who found himself allying with Spider-Man. The role is a dream part for Giamatti, who in the past has said The Rhino was one of his favorite characters when he was a boy. “I thought Rhino was the greatest thing when I was a little kid,” he told ShowbizSpy in March 2011. “It was a guy who was basically in this rhinoceros outfit, and I always thought, ‘Why don’t the...

Jamie Foxx Talks Electro From Upcoming Spider-Man Sequel

Jamie Foxx is in full-on hero mode with " Django Unchained ," but it won't take long for the Oscar winner to tap into his inner villain. Foxx is slated to cross paths with Andrew Garfield's friendly neighborhood web-slinger in director Marc Webb's upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel. The "Django" actor stars in the superhero flick as Max Dillon, alias Electro , a criminal with the ability to manipulate electricity for his own nefarious needs. But to hear Foxx tell it, the movie version of Dillon isn't just an out and out bad guy; he's just a big thinker who never got recognized, until it was far too late. "You'll see that in his whole life, no one is talking to him. People have stolen his ideas at the big company. He's a nobody," Foxx told MTV News about Electro's back story in the "Spider-Man" sequel. "At a certain point, Spider-Man bumps into him and says, 'You're my guy. You'...

Uncle Ben To Return In Amazing Spider-Man 2

At the risk of spoiling both 2002's Spider-Man and 2012's Amazing Spider-Man , Uncle Ben dies. Okay, so you knew that already, but it's an important point to remember now the news that the actor playing Mr. Ben ( Martin Sheen ) will return, somehow, for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 . Speaking to RTÉ's The Late Late Show , the actor still best known by many as Jed Bartlet revealed that despite his character's unfortunate stumble off his mortal coil in the previous Spidey adventure, he's been called back for more wise words-dispensing by director Marc Webb: "Well, they called me back. I don't know what the part's going to be but I'm going to be Uncle Ben once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot in February." Now though comic book plot lines aren't above bringing characters back from the dead, it's a pretty safe bet that's not going to happen this time around. Think memories-of-advice-given-in-times-gone-by flashb...

Jamie Foxx Confirmed For The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Alongside the news that Chronicle's Dane DeHaan has been cast as Harry Osborn is the official confirmation that Jamie Foxx , long mooted as a potential Electro, will indeed by playing the high voltage villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . The director of the original Amazing Spider-Man , Marc Webb, is also back on board — perhaps no surprise considering its $751 million box office haul earlier this year — who essentially let slip that Foxx was on board in early November. Talking to ET, Foxx is reported as saying his character is "a genius electrician-type person and he gets the short end of the stick from the whole world... The next thing you know, he turns it on."11 Marvel's official line on the character, however, goes a bit more like this: "Raised by his overprotective mother, after his father abandoned them, Max had ambitions of being an electrical engineer. However, after being convinced by his mother that he was not smart enough to pursue such a ...

Dane DeHaan Cast As Harry Osborn In The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Well, that didn't take too long: mere weeks after the search for someone to play Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hit the news radars, director Marc Webb has announced his choice of Dane DeHaan . Most readers will probably recognise the actor as Andrew, the troubled, telekinetic teen who causes so many problems in Chronicle . But he’s also been seen this year in the likes of Lawles s and, briefly, Lincoln . He’s a great choice for the role, especially given his work on Chronicle , and the intensity/humanity he brought to the role. Harry, of course, is the son of Norman Osborn and who becomes a friend to Peter Parker ( Andrew Garfield ). But we all know that things go decidedly sour down the road. Right now, the filmmakers are largely keeping quiet about what we can expect from the further adventures of Spidey, but with Garfield and Stone back as Peter and Gwen, and Shailene Woodley all but confirmed as Mary Jane, the plot will surely thicken. The job of chuc...
