Wonder Woman Movie Revealed in New Photos

Warner Bros has released a brand new still from the upcoming Wonder Woman solo film. In a move that some think is both an attempt to capitalize on her current popularity, and potentially to distract fans from the critical bashing that BvS is taking, the studio released the image through Entertainment Weekly- which they own. The photo features Gal Gadot, flanked by the Amazon warriors that trained her- played by Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, and Lisa Loven Kongsli. [hit the jump to continue]

Michael B. Jordan takes on The Thomas Crown Affair

Fast-rising actor Michael B. Jordan (not to be confused with the basketball legend, okay?) has proven time and again just how talented he is, especially with the recent success of "Creed" and his previous roles in films such as "Fruitvale Station" and "Chronicle" (just dont count his involvement in last year's awful "Fantastic Four"). MGM, the studio that produced CREED, is very pleased with the actor that they've decided to attach him to one of their upcoming films, "The Thomas Crown Affair" which is the second remake of the 1968 classic of the same title, which starred Steve McQueen. This film was also remade by Die Hard and Predator director John McTiernan back in 1999, and it starred Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. The result was decent, but not quite remarkable. The premise, however, is simple and timeless, and so long as the writing, directing, and acting talent is in place, there's no reason why this film shouldn't be something quite appealing.
