The Lord of the Rings, the famous book by J.R.R. Tolkien of fantasy mold, has recently returned to vogue with the arrival of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the new television series by Prime Video that brings to the small screen some fascinating and in some cases original stories related to the Second Age of Middle Earth.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most successful and spectacular adaptations in the history of cinema

Well, not everyone knows that Jackson was actually a great lover of the works of the British philologist and writer and this, in reality, can be understood by thinking about how he managed the adaptation in a precise and perfect way. In a recent interview with a podcast of The Hollywood Reporter, the author himself said that in the past he seriously considered the hypothesis of being hypnotized to forget the work done with The Lord of the Rings and thus see the three films with a fresh mind, like any fan. Below you will find his words in detail.

When we made the Lord of the Rings movies, I always felt that I was the unfortunate person who never got to see an up-and-coming film. When there were projections, I was immersed in them for five or six years. It was such a loss for me not to be able to see them like everyone else.

In fact, I seriously considered the idea of going to a hypnotherapy guy to hypnotize myself to make me forget the movies and the work I had done. for the past six or seven years so I could sit back and enjoy them. I didn’t follow him, but I talked about it with [British mentalist] Derren Brown and he thought he could do it. “

It’s been news that has been around for years, but now it looks like something is finally stirring up at the Warner Bros offices. The company is reportedly considering the potential return of star Henry Cavill as Superman for a new foray into the DC Extended Universe!

In a conversation on Twitter Spaces between reporters Erik Davis of Fandango and Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap, the coveted update on the future of Henry Cavill’s Superman (recently busy with Netflix filming the Witcher season 3) was given. “The Multiverse has to stay, if they want to keep [Supergirl actress] Sasha Calle and bring a new Superman to life or bring Cavill back to life or something, this has to be a reality,” Gonzalez said.

Davis responded by saying he heard Cavill was asked to return to the role, but he refused. Gonzalez, however, said that Warner Bros. Discovery adores the actor as Superman and is not very willing to let him go. Words that are striking, given that Cavill has always said he is more than willing to return in the role of the iconic hero of the DC house. Just last December he revealed that he is still waiting for the “fateful call” from Warner Bros.

Is Henry Cavill’s Superman Really Coming Back?

“This will probably turn into a story, I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure maybe they’ll try to bring it back…” the reporter from The Wrap said. “I could be wrong, I just don’t think they’ve had a chance to get him back yet. But again, it’s all in the hands of whoever is overseeing the DC universe, and this committee reports to David Zaslav [CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery]. It’s been almost ten years since we saw him in Man of Steel, but personally, I don’t think it’s over yet ”.

Tomb Raider 2: the movie with Alicia Vikander canceled by MGM, starts the auction war

Tomb Raider, the sequel with Alicia Vikander in crisis: MGM loses the rights and the auction opens for them

MGM loses the rights to the sequel to Tomb Raider 2, in theory, the sequel to the first (passed on the sly) with Alicia Vikander, Oscar winner and wife of Michael Fassbender. But what happened and what exactly will be the future of this action film based on the famous video game of the same name? Alicia Vikander, who played Lara Croft in the 2018 reboot, is no longer tied to the project, thus definitively giving up playing the adventurous archaeologist and video game heroine. The saga will be fully relaunched and there are no directors or authors announced for the future project.

A few weeks ago, Alicia Vikander herself announced a delay and deadlock in the release of the film due to issues with MGM

However, in 2021, Vikander talked about the new film in slightly different terms, assuming it existed and clearly saying she was a part of it.

When the studio told me they were interested in making a sequel, I was thrilled… When given the name of Misha, I chose to see Lovecraft Country, which left me strongly impressed. During the meetings on Zoom that I had with Misha, we immediately found each other well, it is nice to finally be able to confront a woman of my age.

The Tomb Raider sequel was first announced in 2019 and, according to forecasts made at the time, was due to go into production in the first quarter of 2020. The advent of the global pandemic, which has completely blocked the film industry, has forced production to temporarily abandon the project. However, after an initial recovery, it seems that the stalemate has become a full stop and that we are ready to look elsewhere, with new production and new staff on the horizon.

Aquaman 2: is the return of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne inevitable? The image seems to confirm this!

It appears that Jason Momoa accidentally revealed Batfleck’s return in Aquaman 2!

Aquaman 2: It seems that Jason Momoa has wrongly disclosed the presence of Ben Affleck and his controversial Batfleck in the sea hero film played by the Hawaiian actor starting in 2017. This news, despite contrasts with the fact that Affleck has several times said he would not be returning to the role, fills many fans with glee. In fact, after the first controversial reactions to it, Affleck was finally loved for playing the role of him. A return of him, after the recent pleasant events in his life such as his marriage to girlfriend J.Lo, brings Big Ben back to the Hollywood scene after a few dark years.

Thanks to Jason Momoa’s interpretation, Aquaman has begun to occupy a crucial role in DC storytelling.

Of course, Arthur Curry will return as Aquaman for the next film, but the return of the Batfleck would also be foreseeable. Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight could also return in The Flash movie, so it could appear in more than one movie in 2023. A post in the company of Momoa seems to confirm Ben’s presence in the next episode of the successful DC franchise.

The caption makes clear the intentions of Momoa, who failed to keep the big comeback hidden for long. “We tried to keep it a secret,” Momoa says, and the post is presented with a cheering “Bruce and Arthur reunited”. Affleck’s involvement in the project, however, hasn’t been confirmed by either Warner Bros. or DC Films. It had been hinted that Batman’s last appearance as Ben Affleck would be for The Flash 2, especially with the return of Tim Burton’s Masked Knight, played by Michael Keaton.

Star Wars and the desire of Wesley Snipes: will the Blade actor be in the saga?

The actor, who has played the role of Blade in three films, has revealed a burning desire for him.

Star Wars is an increasingly complex franchise, even though a very long time has passed since the arrival of the first film in the saga (we are talking about 45 years, in 1977 A New Hope was released). That said, over the years, this science fiction universe, initially conceived by George Lucas, has involved more and more names from the world of entertainment in the most varied projects.

And while, just yesterday, the possibility of seeing actress Millie Bobby Brown, Eleven of Stranger Things in Star Wars was discussed, another well-known Hollywood star also discussed the opportunity to enter the galaxy far, far away.

We are referring, in particular, to Wesley Snipes, a famous African American actor who during his career is best known for having played the role of Blade in three films: Blade (1998), Blade II (2002), and Blade: Trinity (2004). ). In detail, the artist, interviewed by ComicBook, confessed.

Well, it would have been nice to be part of the Star Wars universe. Clearly, I’m a fan of the 70s. I remember going to the theater, I had no idea what my friend was taking me to see, and mad at him for taking me there initially, because I thought there was a Kung Fu movie it was a much better choice, and then being totally immersed in the world they created, amazed at how they made it, inspired by an actor’s point of view. It would have been fun to be a part of it.

Well, what about? The doors of Lucasfilm are also potentially open for Snipes, also because the franchise lately is expanding in completely new and experimental directions. We must therefore see what the future of Star Wars holds.
