Coming Soon 2013 Entertainment Movie Capsules Round Up from West Coast Midnight Run

Marvel and Walt Disney are slating the next Captain adventure for mid 2014 with Evans as the lead and Scarlett Johansson from the Avengers and Iron Man series. Captain is a mini version of The Hulk and the most naive of the modern superheroes. The sequel has a touch of Candide goes to Washington DC and teams up with the female Sherlock Holmes in battle gear.

Award-wining lead Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor are part of the cast for this independent production on corporate lives in three different cities around the world at the time the Dow Jones took a meteoric rise on the financial stock exchange. UTA, the production company is saying little except that filming is in New York, London and Mumbai with acclaimed director Roger Donaldson. Owen has been in movies such as the Bourne Identity, Sin City, The International and Children of Men and will be working with Robert De Niro in Intruders.

Antonio Banderas has starred in many high profile adventure films including big budget films such as Zorro and Desperado.

Automata is a small budget film that revisits themes from I, Robot with hopefully a more interesting angle. Banderas is a high tech insurance agent assigned to investigate cases of robot foul play and stumbles on a problem that could threaten all of Humanity. One thing is for sure it won’t be shot in IMAX and it definitely will not be in 3D surround sound format.

One of the more difficult superhero characters to bring to the screen is The Flash. Previous efforts have always looked silly if you are familiar with the 1990s TV series. Talk about this production has been forever it seems. David Goyer (Dark Knight and Man of Steel) was hired in 2004 to start work on a script. In 2007 Goyer parted company with the project and two directors were hired to

oversee the script development and interpretation efforts. Goyer’s work was thought to be partly difficult to adapt.

In 2009 Dan Mazeau was brought onboard as screenwriter to re-develop the story and three writing consultants from DC Comics publishing house were also attached to the production.

In 2010 three new writers from Green Lantern were brought onboard to work on the script for The Flash.

Rumors are widespread that the movie is slated for mid 2014 however no casting announcements have been made as of yet and principal photography is nowhere in sight.

This science fiction film is based on famed physicist Kip Thorne’s theories on gravity holes and wormholes. From the Dark Knight team, Chris Nolan teams up with Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine scheduled for November 2014.
