Abigal Hardingham Set To Join The Crow Reboot

Speaking at the British Independent Film Awards in London, Most Promising Newcomer winner Abigal Hardingham and director Corin Hardy both confirmed that they will be working together.

With Corin Hardy’s next project set to be the long delayed Crow Reboot, it seems highly likely that the Nina Forever star may be the female lead opposite whichever male star finally agrees to tackle the iconic gothic hero.

While both the director and award winning actress deliberately stopped short of officially confirming that the project they were referring to was indeed The Crow, judge for yourself from Hardingham’s reaction below to some very direct questioning on the subject.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Sequel Trailer

16 years after the original won the Best Foreign Language Oscar, Netflix has released the official trailer for the straight to streaming sequel to the iconic martial arts classic. The unlikely rebirth carries the title Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.

The trailer confirms the return of Michelle Yeoh and copious amounts of gravity defying kung fu elegance. However it also abandons the use of subtitles in favour of going full English language for more mass audience appeal.

Fans of the original may remain optimistic, though undoubtedly their biggest concern may be the odd choice of soundtrack for the trailer. It’s a weird miss match of period setting  and synthesized classic rock cover, awkwardly reminiscent of fan made trailers most often guilty of such  misguided pop culture mashups.

Star Trek Beyond Trailer Arrives With Star Wars

In an ironic twist of callous marketing, the first official trailer for Star Trek Beyond will debut before screenings of Star Wars The Force Awakens, the film director JJ Abrams abandoned the Star Trek Franchise to make.

While it’s unsurprising that the studios are looking to cash in on the potentially record breaking crowds turning out for Star Wars, time will tell if it’s ill advised to invite audiences to draw direct comparisons between Star Trek and the triumphantly resurgent Star Wars saga. Setting phasers to stun up against lightsabers  and a good blaster is always a risky strategy…

Ex Machina was the big winner at the Moët British Independent Film Awards this evening. The film won four awards: Best British Independent FilmBest Director and Best Screenplay for Alex Garland and Outstanding Achievement in Craft for its Visual Effects, by Andrew Whitehurst.
