SUPERMAN Reboot Film in Development with Ta-Nehisi Coates Writing, J.J. Abrams Producing

 
2021 is becoming quite the super year for the Man of Steel.

Less than a week after the well-received premiere of The CW series Superman & Lois, Deadline has confirmed reports that a new Superman film reboot is in the works with comics writer, journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates writing and J.J. Abrams producing under his Bad Robot production company.

According to the article, Hannah Minghella will serve as producer and there are details yet regarding the plot or casting despite reports of Man of Steel and Justice League actor Henry Cavill wanting to reprise his role as Superman/Clark Kent.

Back in November 2019, Variety reported that there had been discussions with Abrams, whose company Bad Robot signed a massive first-look deal with Warner Bros., and there was a meeting with Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan earlier in the year with Jordan pitching his vision for Superman.

Coates, 45, is the current writer of Black Panther and Captain America for Marvel Comics and is the author of the non-fiction books The Beautiful Struggle, Between the World and Me, and We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy.  His first fiction novel, The Water Dancer, was published in 2019.

Abrams, 54, previously directed the films Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness, Mission: Impossible III, and Super 8.  In addition, he created the ABC series Alias, and co-created the television series Felicity, Lost, and Fringe.  Currently, Abrams is working on a TV series based on DC Comics' Justice League Dark for HBO Max.

In 2004, Abrams wrote the screenplay for Superman: Flyby, a Superman origin story that included Krypton besieged by a civil war between Jor-El and his corrupt brother, Kata-Zor (not Zor-El). Before Kata-Zor sentences Jor-El to prison, Kal-El is launched to Earth to fulfill a prophecy. Adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, he forms a romance with Lois Lane in the Daily Planet.  However, Lois is more concerned with exposing Lex Luthor, written as a government agent obsessed with UFO phenomena.  Clark reveals himself to the world as Superman, bringing Kata-Zor’s son, Ty-Zor, and three other Kryptonians to Earth.  Superman is defeated and killed, and visits Jor-El (who committed suicide on Krypton while in prison) in Kryptonian heaven.  Resurrected, he returns to Earth and defeats the four Kryptonians, while the script ends with Superman off to Krypton, leaving a cliffhanger for a sequel.

DRUNK CINEMA 006: "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" Is Up!

 
"Khan!  Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me!  You were going to kill me, Khan. You're going to have to come down here! You're going to have to come down here!"
"I've done far worse than kill you.  I've hurt you, and I wish to go on hurting you.  I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her -- marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive.  Buried alive!"
Kirk: "KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!"
-- Admiral James T. Kirk and Khan Noonien Singh, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Hey there, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema!  This time, we reopen the Drunk Cinema Theatre to watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the 1982 science fiction film directed by Nicholas Meyer and featuring William Shatner as Admiral James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Captain Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, and Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh!

In this sixth episode, Xan and I discuss things like Roger Ebert hating just about every movie that I like, the reason why Xan's husband Chris won't read film reviews anymore, Amazon Women on the Moon, my wife Lori never listening to any of my podcasts, Nicholas Meyer's movie Time After Time, The Day After, Cold War era songs "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and "Russians" by Sting, Sherlock Holmes being a cocaine addict, my published Star Trek: Strange New Worlds II short story "Doctors Three", why Leonard Nimoy means so much to Xan, all roads leading to Star Trek, Merritt Butrick and Paul Winfield appearing on Star Trek: The Next Generation, James Horner scoring Krull, the "Aren't you dead?" line being used to throw off leaked script reports about Spock's death, Xan's homemade Romulan Ale, my turning the same age as Kirk in Wrath of Khan, Chekov moving up in the Starfleet world, Walter Koenig's son Andrew, the big plot hole of Khan recognizing Chekov's face, Scotty's nephew Peter Preston, Spock's ostentatious disco wall decor in his quarters, why Bones is my all-time favorite Star Trek character, Xan's mom realizing she's a nerd, Original Recipe vs. Extra Crispy KFC chicken, closeups on obviously fake ears, Gene Roddenberry having a problem with Kirk killing the Ceti eel that crawled out of Chekov's ear, Roy Orbison's "Ooby Dooby", Xan's husband Chris' being late to his high school graduation because he was watching Star Trek III, Xan crying during Spock's funeral, Kirk and David's awkward father-son hug, The Road Warrior vs. Mad Max: Fury Road, and more!

THE FLASH Movie Casts Sasha Calle as Supergirl

 
The DC Extended Universe just got its own Supergirl.

Deadline has word that the upcoming DC Extended Universe film The Flash, starring Ezra Miller as The Flash/Barry Allen, has cast Latina actress Sasha Calle as Superman's cousin, Supergirl/Kara Zor-El.

According to the article, Calle was chosen from more than 425 actresses who auditioned.  The actresses weren’t informed what part they were reading for, until very late in the process. Calle also did a chemistry read with Miller.

The Flash director Andy Muschietti watched all the auditions and reportedly "was blown away by the actress’ toughness and vulnerability that she brought to the role."  "I saw more than four hundred auditions," remarked Muschietti.  "The talent pool was truly amazing and it was very hard to make a decision, but we finally found an actress who was destined to play this role."

Calle, 25, is best known as Lola Rosales on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, where she was nominated last year in the Outstanding Young Performer in a Drama series category at the Daytime Emmys.  She has also appeared in the short films The White Shoes and Final Stop.

Created in 1959 by Otto Binder, Al Plastino and Curt Swan, Supergirl first appeared in Action Comics (vol.1) #252 as Kara Zor-El, the daughter of Jor-El's brother Zor-El and cousin to Superman. She was the last survivor of Argo City, which had survived the destruction of the planet Krypton until meteorites of Green Kryptonite penetrated Argo City's protective barrier. Sent to Earth by Zor-El to be raised by her cousin, Kara acquired powers similar to Superman and adopted the secret identity of Linda Lee, a young girl at Midvale Orphanage. 

In the New 52 continuity, Kara's ship lands as part of a meteor shower in Smallville, Kansas, but burrows through the Earth and emerges in Siberia. Kara has no memory of the destruction of Krypton and believes herself to be dreaming. The military tracks her arrival, and a group of American soldiers in mechanized suits immediately attack her. Her powers start emerging as the fight goes on and terrify the surprised Kara. Superman arrives after she defeats the soldiers and tries to convince Kara that he is her cousin, but Kara, still believing that only three days have passed since she last saw baby Kal, accuses him of being an imposter and attacks him. Eventually, Kara accepts that Krypton has been destroyed and that Superman is indeed her grown-up cousin.

Calle will be the fourth actress to portray the character in live action, after Melissa Benoist on the CBS/CW TV series Supergirl, Laura Vandervoort on WB/CW series Smallville, and Helen Slater in the 1984 film Supergirl that was a spinoff from the Superman films starring Christopher Reeve.  The character has also appeared a number of times in animation, including Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited (voiced by Nicholle Tom), and the Super Best Friends Forever DC Nation animated shorts (voiced by Nicole Sullivan).

The Flash is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 4, 2022.

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER Super Bowl Trailer Teases the Return of Baron Zemo

 
Where do we start?

Once again, Disney/Marvel took advantage of America's most-watched sporting event by promoting the next Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series during last night's Super Bowl LV.  The 30-second TV spot was better than the actual game, which featured the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trouncing the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, showing us more from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.  However, a spiffier extended trailer was immediately released online, giving us two full minutes of Sam and Bucky goodness.

The extended trailer opens with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) facing an unknown psychiatrist inside what appears to be an interrogation room.  "So," she begins, "who would like to start?"

As we cut to Sam and Bucky aboard a military aircraft, dressed respectively in their Falcon and Winter Soldier uniforms, we continue hearing a voiceover from the psychiatrist.  "Mr. Barnes, why does Sam aggravate you?" she asks.

"15 seconds to drop," says the Falcon, heading for the open hatch.

"So, what's our plan?" asks the Winter Soldier.

Saying nothing in response, the Falcon jumps out of the aircraft and soars away, noticeably aggravating the Winter Soldier, who mutters, "Great..."

We cut to a nighttime shot of the city of what appears to be Madripoor, a fictional island in Southeast Asia riddled with political corruption and all manner of crime.  We hear a voiceover belonging to none other than Baron Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl), whom we last saw in the 2016 MCU film Captain America: Civil War.  "Superheroes...cannot be allowed to exist," he remarks.  "I have no intention of leaving my work unfinished."

Next, we see an explosion, followed by a quick glimpse of Erin Kellyman as a young woman who dons a black mask with a blood-red handprint belonging to an anarchist anti-patriotism group called the Flag-Smashers.

We then see Bucky watching some sort of military brass announcement while Sam looks sadly at a large banner of his friend, Captain America/Steve Rogers.  "The wall's upside down right now," remarks Bucky in a voiceover.

The scene shifts to Sam hurling Captain America's shield at a tree, presumably for practice.  This is immediately followed by a shot of Bucky catching the returning shield.

In a completely different scene, Sam asks someone off-camera, "Where do we start?"

As the song "Is You Ready" by Migos starts playing, we see fleeting glimpses of Sam investigating a stylish nightclub while Bucky fights several Russian and/or Eastern European men.

We cut to the Falcon soaring above a canyon, dodging several missiles trying to knock him out of the sky.  "Buck, I have a plan," he says over an earpiece radio.

"Oh, yeah?!" asks the Winter Soldier, still aboard the aircraft from earlier.  "What is it?!"

We shift to another scene, featuring former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) stepping into view and aiming her gun at Sam and Bucky.  "Here we go again, hunh?" she remarks.  This is followed by a quick glimpse of Sharon fighting some men in the middle of some shipping containers.

We cut to a football stadium, holding some sort of patriotic ceremony featuring a high school marching band dressed in red, white and blue garb with a stylized "A" symbol.  A figure who looks similar to Captain America, the U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), marches out into the center of the field and high-fives the bandleader.

Fleeting glimpses follow of Bucky fighting more guys and the Falcon swooping into another aircraft to fight some guys, with the Falcon transforming his wings into a shield to protect himself from a hail of bullets.  We see Sam hurl Cap's shield again, followed by another explosion.

A different scene featuring the Winter Solider fighting the Flag-Smashers atop two moving trucks, with Bucky falling off and having to save himself with his mechanical arm.  Now hanging at the bottom of the truck, Bucky can only watch as the Falcon flies by and mocks him, saying, "That little girl kicked your ass."  As an oncoming car quickly approaches, Falcon swiftly soars underneath both trucks to avoid a collision.

After the show's titles, we return to the interrogation room, with Sam and Bucky now directly facing one another as the psychiatrist watches from behind the table.  "See?" she says.  "That wasn't so hard."  Sam and Bucky suddenly begin a stare fight, with the psychiatrist asking, "Okay, what are you doing?  Are you having a staring contest?"  

The two men continue, trying to outlast the other until the annoyed psychiatrist abruptly snaps her fingers between them.  "Just blink, sweet Jesus...I mean, how old are you?"

In Bucky's case, that could prove to be an interesting response.

If you'd like to see the new trailer, you can check it out below thanks to the official Marvel Entertainment account on YouTube...

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is scheduled to be released on Disney+ on March 19, 2021.
