Poster — The Nine Realms — Snipes n Snarfblatts

Inhumans got a new poster a couple days ago followed by the announcement of a trailer to release today. First of all this new poster is way better than the last one. It at least gives you a look at something for someone who don't know who the Inhumans are. Then we get to this trailer. I had already talked about the first picture released, & how I had seen cosplay done better than what was put forth. I bring this back up now because, I feel almost the same about this trailer. I still have high hopes for this, but to me it came off as being almost fan made. Even Lockjaw the Dog, which I thought was the best part of this trailer by the way, came off looking like a special effect. Even the sets screamed fan film. I know this is a television series & budgets aren't going to be the size of the theatrical films, but I figured with this thing being shot in Imax & debuting in Imax they'd come with it. At least for the pilot. Fingers crossed this thing has enough story to get past all that. We won't know for sure until Sept. 1 when this thing debuts in Imax theaters, but I'm a little worried. What do y'all think of this trailer? Yay or nay? Are we all still excited for Inhumans or am I right to be a little concerned? Let us know in the comments, like. & share.

Marvel Studios released their first Black Panther trailer & poster yesterday, & I'm beginning to think Marvel can do no wrong. This looks really good. I mean, look at Chadwick Boseman in that poster down there. He's got regal written all over him. Andy Serkis looks amazing reprising his role as Ulysses Klaue. We get a look at Martin Freeman's Everett K. Ross & Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia. Wakanda looks great, with it's mix of "tribal" Africa & the hidden "science fiction" Africa of Wakanda. As a teaser this is awesome. I can't wait to get a full trailer so we can get some a couple story nuggets to go with these visuals. I don't know much about Black Panther except the basics, & I usually don't get to say that much when it comes to these Marvel movies. So I'm a little more excited than usual for this one, as I don't really have a clue as to what's going to happen. Other than the obvious someone wants Wakanda's vibranium. The only worry I have so far going in is every time I saw Michael B. Jordan in the trailer I couldn't help but think, hey it's Apollo Creed's son. So if anything I hope as we get into the film I can put that thought aside, & get into this new character. Can't wait for more, but even more importantly what do y'all think of not only this trailer, but the poster too? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.

Michelle Rejwan Now Senior VP Live Action Development And Production For Lucasfilm

Hollywood Reporter reports Michelle Rejwan is now the Senior VP of Live Action Development & Production. She will oversee new feature films as well Disney+ series while still producing with president Kathleen Kennedy. That seems like a hefty responsibility to drop on someone who's previous credits at Lucasfilm are producing The Force Awakens & The Rise of Skywalker. Kennedy really sees something in her though, having “seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I've been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects.” Can she be the Feige of Star Wars? Time will tell. After the hate Kennedy got from the last installment, which I loved by the way, one could think this is just to give her a scapegoat if things don't go as well over the next few projects. Curious to see how much influence this winds up having as a whole. What do y'all think? Trust in Kennedy? Or do you think maybe a more vetted choice would have been better? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Disney Reveals Name of Tokyo DisneySea's 8th Port

After breaking ground in what is to become Tokyo DisneySea's 8th port, we now have its official name. Fantasy Springs will be the title, but that's not all Dismey released on the subject. They also released some beautiful day & night concept art depicting the look of the new lands. Oriental land is investing 250 Billion Yen on this project that will feature lands themed to Frozen, Tangled, & Peter Pan. Frozen's land of post film Arendelle will feature an attraction that tells the story of Elsa and her beloved sister, Anna. Sounding like the familiar Epcot ride, suests will board boats and experience the sisters’ heartfelt journey, enjoying songs from the film, and encountering surprising thrills. There will also be a restaurant set inside the beautiful Arendelle Castle. Tangled's land will naturally feature Rapunzel’s tower rising above the forest. It will also include an boat attraction where guests will board gondolas for a romantic boat tour of Rapunzel’s “Best Day Ever” as she journeys with Flynn to the lantern festival. Flickering lanterns illuminate the attraction’s climactic scene while Rapunzel and Flynn sing an iconic song from the film. The pand will also feature a restaurant, inspired by the hideout of the band of thugs who appeared in the film in the "I've Got A Dream" sequence. Neverland will also be home to two attractions and a restaurant. Featuring landmarks including verdant mountains, Captain Hook’s pirate ship and Skull Rock. One attraction will fly over the jungles of Neverland into a battle with Captain Hook and his crew of pirates to rescue Wendy’s younger brother, John, who has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. You'll board boats and follow the Lost Boys down a river until Tinker Bell sprinkles the boats with pixie dust, & you take off flying through Neverland on an adventure that featuring iconic music and dynamic 3D imagery of the characters from the film. The second attraction immerses us in the oversized world of Pixie Hollow, while the restaurant is inspired by the Lost Boys and their hideout. There will also be a new Disney Hllyel in the park. Themed to Disney fantasy, it will rise above and around the magical springs that serve as the core of the new themed port’s story. Offering 475 deluxe-type and luxury-type guest rooms, this park facing hotel will also feature a merchandise shop that helps share the story of the magical springs. One day I'll make it out here to see all the amazingly beautiful things TokyoSea has to offer. Luckily, I have one more reason to postpone that adventure until this amazing new addition is done.
