Fast and Furious 6 actress (and total bombshell) Gal Gadot will be swinging the golden lasso of truth as she has been officially announced to play the role of Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman for Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL 2.
“Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.” (Zack Snyder)
C'mon lets admit it, we're a bit disappointed that they didn't cast our choice star but much like how Ben Affleck was cast as Batman there might be something that they've seen in Gadot that we're not seeing. I hear that she also beat out Elodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko for the role.
Plus she can totally kick our collective fanboy asses as she's a trained military personel.
Gina Carano might not have been picked as Wonder Woman but I'm happy with this casting news.
Oblivion is a good movie with well-used special effects and packs a punch with it's non-linear storytelling but there's still something off with my review of the movie starring Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
First of all, a big 'thank you' once again to Solar Entertainment for the invitation to see this awesome movie in advance.
Here's the new trailer for Tom Cruise's new flick "Oblivion" from United International Pictures.
Here's the official synopsis for the film
"Tom
Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event
from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the
Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved
beyond recognition, one man’s confrontation with the past will lead him
on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.
Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on
Earth.
Part of a massive operation to extract vital
resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the
Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living and patrolling the
breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence
is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a
downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces
him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his
hands. Oblivion will be shot in stunning digital 4K resolution on
location across the United States and Iceland."
So here's my initial reaction:
- First scene reminded me of the classic "A Boy and his Dog", which was cool in it's own way.
- Why does it have this "I Am Legend" vibe to it; being that he's got this imagery of being the Last Man on Earth.
- They have Morgan Freeman who channels his best Morpheus interpretation with the circular shades and all that.
- It also has the vibe of the Mass Effect series (yes even the horrible Mass Effect 3).
- Sadly no sign of Tom Cruise running anywhere in this trailer.
- OLGA KURYLENKO'S IN IT!
- There's also some semblance of Wall-E in this movie since they're on repair and cleanup duty.
Between this and Cruise's other flick "All You Need is Kill" we'll have a scientology science-fiction fueled Tom Cruise marathon!
