I love superheroes. And I love superhero movies (even the trash like the Amazing Spiderman movies and Avengers). And I really like LEGO. Those worlds collided with many others in the fantastic film The LEGO Movie. Now, one of its stars is getting his own movie. Will Arnett stars as the titular LEGO Batman -- making him the 20th-ish person to play or voice the caped crusader. The trailer was released today alongside several pictures from earlier this week. It features a Batman that can beatbox, eat lobster and save the world. The film itself also features a robust cast with Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Michael Cera as Robin, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, and Zach Galifianakis as the Joker. What The LEGO Batman Movie aims to answer that no other movie has even tried is can Batman be happy? We'll have to find out when the movie comes out February 10, 2017.
Chris Rocks' 'Top Five' To Be Bought By Paramount
Paramount is in talks to buy Chris Rock's latest film. THR reports that Top Five could be bought for over $13 million dollars.
Rock starred, wrote, and (why not) directed the film that premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. It garnered hugely positive reviews which prompted nearly all major distributors to chase after the film.
Top Five is about a comedian trying to reinvent himself as a serious actor. His reality-TV star/fiance talks him into broadcasting their wedding on her reality show. The film stars Rock with supporting actor Rosario Dawson. Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld and Kevin Hart are among a few people to make cameos.
