Joker Spinoff Starring Jared Leto Heads To Development

It’s no surprise that Jared Leto‘s Joker in Suicide Squad was one of the most interesting takes on the character. It wasn’t like the comic books or the dark and grungy Joker. And that is one thing you have to respect in David Ayer’s film. But it also wasn’t a well-received character.
That being said, he is a part of the DCEU now. And for those who have been dying to know if he would get his own film, well, the studio has answered that question. New reports are saying WB is putting a Joker movie into development with Leto starring and executive producing. More on the story below.

Playboy’s Hugh Hefner Biopic Put On Hold Due To Brett Ratner Sexual Assault Allegations

The dominoes continue to fall in the Hollywood industry, as more and more victims are coming out to reveal sexual assault allegations towards producers like Harvey Weinstein, directors like James Toback, and actors like Kevin Spacey. If anything, victims will not put up with the threats of being blacklisted or shamed anymore, nor should they. And this won’t be stopping anytime soon. In fact, you can expect to hear more stories.
The latest one comes from six women, Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge among them, who are now accusing Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men: The Last Stand) of sexual assault. As a result, Playboy Enterprises will be putting a halt on the production of the Hugh Hefner biopic, which would have starred Jared Leto in the title role. More on the story below.

Movie Review: Blade Runner 2049
|
 |

Blade Runner 2049
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Screenwriter: Hampton Fancher, Michael Green
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista, Jared Leto
Distributor: Warner Bros.
Rated R | 163 Minutes
Release Date: October 6, 2017
Blade Runner doesn’t have all the flashy substance that makes up what some would say is a traditional sci-fi film, but it sure does have all the nuances and subtleties that would make for a great sci-fi noir. Slow-burning detective stories still continue to unravel even in the distant future. You still have the stark monochromatic colors, a constant stream of pessimism, and a character that is drawn into the world of crime. You add a splash of sci-fi, that not only mixes well together, but proves that the elements can work in the right hands.
Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve‘s strikingly visual follow-up, takes place 30 years after Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. The filmmaker stays true to the themes explored by Scott’s adaptation of the Philip K. Dick book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), while also building upon the mystery and intrigue, as well as adding even more themes that will have audiences talking, even well after the film has ended. Check out the full review below.

Watch: Final ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Prequel Short “Black Out 2022”

The final of three Blade Runner 2049 prequel shorts, titled “Black Out 2022,” was released recently.
This one is a little different from the previous two shorts, “2036: Nexus Dawn” and “2048: Nowhere to Run.” For one thing this short is much longer, clocking in at nearly 16 minutes in length. The other two were only around six minutes in length. It’s also not live-action like the previous two were. The final prequel short was instead created in the style of Japanese anime. In fact, it was made by Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo fame.
You can find more on Blade Runner 2049 and check out the new prequel short below.
