That ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ Movie Casts James Marsden, Seemingly as the Token Human

Image
Paramount is really going ahead with this whole live-action  Sonic the Hedgehog movie idea, and now they’ve found their lead: James Marsden , of  Westworld and X-Men fame. There’s no word on who Marsden is playing, though. Just how will a live-action  Sonic the Hedgehog movie work? I don’t know, but we’re about to find out. Paramount has loaded up on chili dogs and they’re ready to run full speed ahead towards their set November 15, 2019 release date, and now they’ve found just the man to get them there: James Marsden. Variety reports Marsden has joined the cast of the live-action/animation hybrid. But who is he playing? If Marsden is “starring” in the  Sonic the Hedgehog movie, as reports indicate, that could suggest he’s  playing Sonic the Hedgehog. But that seems unlikely, so he’s probably just playing a human character Sonic encounters. Why are there humans in a  Sonic the Hedgehog movie? Beats me! Only  Patrick Casey , Josh Mille...

‘Top Gun 2’ First Look: Tom Cruise Feels the Need for Speed All Over Again

Image
This month marked 32 years since Top Gun flew into theaters. The Paramount Pictures film directed by Tony Scott is still a favorite of action movie fans, and for decades they’ve wanted to see Tom Cruise get back in the cockpit for a sequel. It’s been a long road to get here, but production has finally started on Top Gun 2 , and the first photo from the film has been revealed. Check it out below. Top Gun 2 First Look Photo Tom Cruise posted the above image to Twitter accompanied by the hashtag #Day1. Since production on movies usually begins before the studio makes an official announcement, we should be getting some news about the rest of the cast besides Tom Cruise (returning in the lead role as the hot shot pilot Maverick) very soon. But let’s break down what we know about the sequel so far. The sequel is called Top Gun: Maverick , and it’s being directed by Joseph Kosinski . For awhile, it was expected that Tony Scott would get back behind the camera, but the filmmaker tragi...

Chris Pratt Defends Star-Lord From 'Infinity War' Blame: 'I Wouldn’t Change a Thing'

Image
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Like Peter Parker, Chris Pratt doesn't feel so good. Pratt's " Avengers: Infinity War " character has been roasted hard for his hotheaded actions during a key moment against Thanos. Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Spider-Man almost had the Infinity Gauntlet off! But Star-Lord/Peter Quill was so angry at Thanos for killing Gamora -- Thanos' daughter and Peter's twoo wuv -- that he clocked Thanos, snapped the guy out of his helpful trance, and ruined everything. Fans have not been happy with Star-Lord since. Chris Pratt is now promoting " Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ," and he weighed in on the angry fandom in a talk with RadioTimes.com . As you might expect, he defended his character's rash behavior: "Look – the guy watched his mother die, he watched as his father-figure died in his arms, he was forced to kill his own biological father. And now has suffered the loss of the love of his life. S...

Tom Cruise has had a need for speed for more than 30 years. But now he's finally getting back in the sky for " Top Gun: Maverick ," sequel to the 1986 hit " Top Gun ." Production just started for its July 2019 release in theaters. Cruise has been talking about this sequel forever.

Cruise teased a photo from "Day 1," taking us right back on that highway to the danger zone: #Day1 pic.twitter.com/7jjPL277Es — Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) May 31, 2018 That loving feeling is rushing back!
