20th Century Fox has debuted a new trailer War for the Planet of the Apes. The third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise finds Andy Serkis’ Caesar and his apes forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel played by Woody Harrelson. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. The film also stars Steve Zahn, Terry Notary and Karin Konoval. War for the Planet of the Apes opens nationwide on July 14, 2017

Deadpool 2 is finally coming together however the sequel has yet to find an actor to play Cable. Michael Shannon is the rumored frontrunner, with Stranger thing’s David Harbour also reported to have screen tested for the role. But probably the most high profile actor to be considering the role was found in none other than Brad Pitt himself.

According to a report from Jeff Sneider via The Tracking Board, Warner Bros wants Get Out helmer Jordan Peele to take the reigns on the new Akira adaptation. Warner Bros. has been trying to adapt the popular 1988 anime for a while now, passing through many directors in the process.

According to Showbiz411, Jeremy Renner won’t be able to appear in the upcoming Mission Impossible 6 because of his commitments to Marvel with Infinity War, Avengers 4 and a rumored appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Netflix has released a new trailer for War Machine; the highly anticipated, first Netflix feature to star Brad Pitt. The dark and satirical story directed by Animal Kingdom‘s David Michôd, is based on the book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan, and stars Pitt as decorated U.S. general Gen. Glenn whose ultra-confidence was cut down by a journalist’s exposé.

Disney•Pixar has released the short Dante’s Lunch - A Short Tail, which introduces the dog from their upcoming new release for Coco. Dante will feature in the movie Coco, which stars the voices of Gael García Bernal, Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt and Renee Victor, and centers on a family’s generations-old ban on music and Miguel, who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz.

Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon recently tweeted an image showing a director’s chair with the name “Freddy” written on it, in front of a screen featuring the banner for Blumhouse Productions, teasing a possible adaptation moving forward at the specialty horror production house.
