I'll admit, this made me feel a little bad. I not only haven't read this book, I don't even remember the original film. Now we get to hear what these books mean to the actors in the film with some more looks at the film. March 9th is really high on my list of anticipated days thanks to A Wrinkle In Time . I was skeptical at first, but the more & more I saw, the more & more I had to see this movie. The thing I loved about this video though, is that you can see & hear how much love for this the people involved have. To me, that speaks volumes for the potential of this film. Anyway, check it out, let me know what you think? Are you as excited for this as I am? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
New Trailer For "A Wrinkle In Time" Lives Up To The Title "Gift"
I didn't think they could top the last trailer for Disney's upcoming A Wrinkle In Time . However the newest trailer "Gift" does just that. This movie could be horrible, but to judge it by it's last set of teasers & this thing looks epic. I'm dialed to 11 for this film, & I really hope it can live up to that. The visuals are stunning, & just going off the trailers, this film seems like it's going to have a sense of urgency to it. Like it's going to be a mindwarp slash fast paced action movie that takes place in a fantasy environment. This is a strong year for Disney in Live-action with Winnie The Pooh & Mary Poppins Returns . That said, & as much as I love Pooh & Poppins, I'm more excited for this, than either of those. This is looking like it has a chance to really be something spectacular. We won't know for sure until March 9th. Anyway, check this out & let me know what you think. Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Thoughts On Disney*Pixar*Marvel*Lucasfilm Line-up For The Year
Disney released their line-up for the year along with these pics, some new & old, last night. I thought it would be a great time to go over what's coming out, & go over our anticipation going in. Now, they put them from first to last. Which to me was messed up, because after you read the last ones you're all the sudden most excited for the stuff that's furthest away. So I'm going to do it in reverse. That way when the list is done, what you read last is the closest release. See, I'm always thinking of y'all..
Mary Poppins Returns (Dec. 25) - Christmas will be a "Jolly Holiday" with Mary Poppins Returns, where everyone's favorite nanny gets a reprise by Emily Blunt. She'll be joined by Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack the lamplighter, Ben Whishaw & Emily Mortimer as Michael & Jane Banks, Julie Walters as Banks' housekeeper Ellen, Colin Firth as Fidelity Bank's William Weatherall Wilkins, & Meryl Streep as Mary's cousin, Topsy. A new generation of Banks children will be played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, & newbie Joel Dawson. Mary Poppins has to have some drop-ins, so we'll also be getting an appearance from Angela Lansbury as the Balloon Lady while Dick Van Dyke will be playing the retired chairman of the bank now ran by Firth's character, Mr. Dawes Jr.. This is one I want to say I'm super excited for, like the kids in this pic, but I'm a little hesitant still on this one. Everything looks great, but we're talking a lot of time that has passed between these. Not only that, but this was a period piece even then. I just hope a Mary Poppins can still come off as relevant today. Lord knows, the right amount of talent is involved, so if it's going to happen, this is the way to do it. I can't wait to see more of this to help me really reach a decision.
Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (Nov 21) - This one has John C. Reilly & Sarah Silverman coming back together as Ralph & Vanellope von Schweetz to save Sugar Rush by finding a replacement part on the World Wide Web. They will be joined in their adventures by Taraji Henson as website owner Yesss, head algorithm & heart & soul of "BuzzzTube". I think we all know where they're going with that one. This is something I couldn't believe when it was announced. I LOVE some Wreck-It Ralph, but I never thought we'd be getting a sequel. I mean, look how long we had to wait for The Incredibles. The first Ralph blew me away though. Not only was it hilarious, it had a lot of heart & soul. If this sequel is half as good as the first, it will still be a great film. November 21 is going to be a long, hard wait. Love this image of the internet though.
The Nutcracker & the Four Realms (Nov 2) - If there's one on this list that I'm worried about not even liking, this is the one. Now, I've said before I've never actually seen the Nutcracker fully in any form. When I heard the story it just never seemed that intriguing to me. The trailer didn't do anything to help me either. If I didn't know better, & there was no sound, I would have swore it was a new chapter to Chronicles of Narnia. Which in all honesty, makes me wonder if I won't be the only one to think that, & if it will affect the box-office? Anyway, Clara (Mackenzie Foy) is on a quest for a one-of-a-kind key, leading her to a parallel world. Once there, she encounters soldier Phillip, a gang a mice, & the regents presiding over three realms: the Lands of Snowflakes, Flowers, & Sweets. However, she must brave the Fourth Realm, home to what will probably be the best part of the film, the tyrant Mother Ginger (Hellen Mirren). Along the way she'll also run into the Sugar Plum Fairy (Keira Knightly) & a performance from Misty Copeland. I'm not sure I'll be excited for this one even if I see more. Here's the pic of the Sugar Plum Fairy along with some very elemental looking fellas. I think the stills are coming off better than the teaser.
Disney's Christopher Robin (Aug 3) - I'm all about some Winnie the Pooh. In fact, my wife makes fun of me for loving two kiddie movies as she calls them. One is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh & the other is Cars. This live-action film will follow Christopher Robin, played by one of my favorite actors Ewan McGregor, now an adult who has lost his way. His old friends from the Hundred Acre Wood will help him try to find the loving, playful boy within. That's about all the plot we're getting at this time, but what else do we need? A pic of the title logo you say? Well you're in luck because that came out to. This sounds great though. I mean, it's a Hundred Acre Wood version of TED, I'm super pumped to see how this works out.
Marvel Studios' Ant-Man & the Wasp (Jul 6) - The first Ant-Man caught me way off guard. I'm a big Paul Rudd fan so I figured I was going to dig it, but it blew me away. It really pulled off being an awesome superhero flick, while also being a great comedy film at the same time. This pic of Rudd & Evangeline Lilly as Ant-Man & the Wasp totally helps build up my excitement too. Her suits not only look great, it totally compliments his giving it that same tech feel. This come right off Captain America: Civil War, where Lang will not only have to deal with his decisions there as a hero & father. He'll also team up once again with Hope & Dr. Hank Pym to uncover secrets from the past. I'm guessing Hank's lost wife most likely?? Hoping this one can be as funny as the first. Can't wait to find out.
Incredibles 2 (Jun 15) - To say the wait has been long & hard for this one to happen would be an understatement. While we don't know much about the actual plot, we do know that the fam will be having to figure out how to handle Jack-Jack's new multi-set of powers & Brad Bird's returning to helm the film. This is going to be, well, incredible! Couldn't pass that up. Here's a pic of the fam looking like they're about to take on something big. We've waited so long, that this one seems really close now.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25) - Oh man, this one has gone through some things hasn't it. To say the Star Wars movie no one asked for has had it's problems is definitely short-changing the situation. Still no trailer, & this title pic is the most we've really even got so far. We've at least now been told we're getting the meeting of Chewie, some Lando, & the Falcon, but they really need an awesome trailer to get A New Hope going on this one. It's rumored it's coming, & I still have my fingers crossed for this one. Disney's Lucasfilm hasn't done me wrong yet, if anyone can pull this one out the gutter it's them.
Marvel Studio's Avengers: Infinity War (May 4) - This is the one on this list for me this year. All the build up to Thanos comes to an end here setting up Avengers 4, which will be a soft ending for the Marvel Universe as we know it. The trailers to this thing have been epic. I know this is going to be an awesome set-up for all hell to break loose in the next film. This has been described as a heist film, with Thanos gathering up the stones for his Infinity Gauntlet. This pic looks straight from the trailer with the battle on Wakanda. One of the many grand action spots I'm sure this film is going to give us.
Disney's A Wrinkle in Time (Mar 9) - The more & more I see of this, I'm finding myself looking forward to seeing it. Director Ava DuVernay's adaption of Madeleine L'Engle's novel looks absolutely beautiful. I don't remember the original, & I'm holding off to compare afterward, as to not spoil anything considering I don't remember. It follows struggling to fit in high school student, Meg Murry (Storm Reid). She & her brother Charles Wallace are extremely gifted in ways they don't know. Their parents are world-renowned physicists, & Mr. Murry (Chris Pine) has went missing. Following his disappearance three celestial beings Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), & Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) journey to Earth to guide Meg, her brother, & classmate Calvin to tesser through time & space to confront an evil force of darkness that is rapidly enveloping the Universe. This synopsis came with this pic of said celestial beings hanging out in a wheat field. They look so out of place, but the film looks awesome nonetheless.
Marvel Studios' Black Panther (Feb 16) - This movie is another one that the more I see of it, the more my interest has grown in it. Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther is Billy Dee Williams cool. Just as he comes home to Wakanda, (Which looks awesome by the way!) to take his rightful place on the throne following his father's death in Civil War, he also has to deal with the re-emerging of a powerful old enemy. This image released captures the cool I was speaking of with T'Challa alongside bodyguards Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o, left) & Shuri (Letitia Wright, right). They will be joined by Michael B Jordan, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, & Andy Serkis. I've already got my tickets, & from the Marvel-record-breaking pre-sales, I'm not the only one. The trailers have put all my worries to rest really on this one now. I'm looking forward to a really good origin story.
That sums up my thoughts on this years releases. I think we're going to have a really great year at the movies this time around. What I really want to know is, what's your thoughts? Which one of these are y'all looking forward to the most? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Behind The Scenes Featurette For "A Wrinkle In Time"
Man, I'm getting way more excited for this movie the more I see. In fact, this is probably the most excited I've been in awhile for something without animation, Marvel, or Star Wars in the name. Even if this movie winds up being horrible, it's going to do it beautifully. This thing is visually stunning. The on-location sites are absolutely amazing. I've said before I don't really remember the original A Wrinkle In Time, but I'm not going to refresh my memory this time around. I'll probably revisit it afterwards, I just want a clean slate going in. You can tell from this featurette, a lot of passion was crammed into this film. I can't wait to see if it pays off, & March 9 is getting closer & closer. What do y'all think though? Does this look like more than a pretty coat of paint to y'all?

This Golden Globe Trailer Is The Best I've Seen "A Wrinkle In Time" So Far
This newest TV spot for the Globes is probably the best put together trailer for Disney's A Wrinkle In Time to date. All it's missing is a shot of the creepy suburbia in there & it'd be perfect. Everything in this trailer looks great. That's just judging this trailer though, I still have some performance worries from previous trailers. This does put them a little more at ease though. I'm thinking this is going to shape up do be a pretty decent family flick. Not great, but it looks like it's going to be good, & a little something for everyone. That said, I hope it blows me away, but my expectations are at a solid good until then. Whay do y'all think though? What's your excitement level for A Wrinkle In Time?

Really Digging These New "Wrinkle In Time" Posters
So far I've been a little stand offish when it comes to Disney's upcoming remake of A Wrinkle in Time. Not that anything looks totally bad that they've put out so far. It's just something keeps giving me a Tomorrowland vibe. In which, I loved that movie, but we all know how many people didn't go see it. EW released these new posters though, & I can't help but really like them. The way they almost convey the title visually without words is pretty cool. You're basically watching the main cast of Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, & Mindy Kaling touch wrinkles in time. It's also a beautiful effect. Neat posters aside though, I really hope they knock this one out of the park. I'm still going to hold off watching the original until I see this. I can't remember for the life of me any details of the first, so I'm hoping when I watch that one after I can say, "Man, they did that so much better this time around." Effects-wise, I'm already sure of, let's just hope the substance is there to back it up. Beautiful posters though, what do y'all think? Put it I the comments, like, & share.
"Wrinkle In Time" New Trailer Still Leaves Me Wondering
The second trailer for Disney's A Wrinkle in Time has dropped, & for me it comes with mixed feelings. It's visuals are stunning to say the least, this thing looks beautiful. The story sounds very intriguing, I can't wait to dive into this. I was going to watch the original, but I remember it so little I don't want to spoil this one by doing so. My only worry, just from the trailer, is the performances come off kinda hollow. I don't know if that's just in the fact that there's no real context or what. I just felt like the actors were actors, & that's never good. You want to lose yourself to the fact that those are the characters, & like I said, with more context, not just clips, that could come through. I'm actually more concerned this winds up like Tomorrowland. I thought that movie was great, something Walt would've loved, & no one went to see it. That was a real shame. I hope this one is just as good, better even, but even more so, I hope people go to find out. Dug the trailer overall, caught my attention, & my imagination. Question is what did y'all think?

Disney Throws Us Some New & Updated Release Dates
Disney released the newest upcoming release date line-up, & it now includes dates for Aladdin, Christopher Robin, Artemis Fowl & more. I was just going take the easy way out & list the new ones, but I figured why not list the whole thing? Here's Disney's upcoming release line up:
- Thor: Ragnarok (November 3, 2017): Literally already have tickets for this one.
- Coco (November 22, 2017): I was worried at first with this being so close to the material of Book of Life, but I can't get enough of what I've seen so far.
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 15, 2017): Every time the trailer for this film plays I stop what I'm doing. Doesn't matter where I am. I can't wait for this.
- Black Panther (February 16, 2018): I didn't know much about the Black Panther until I watched the cartoon mini-series from awhile before the MCU. I loved that series though. Hoping this follows suit.
- A Wrinkle in Time (March 9, 2018): I'm not sure what to think of this yet. The trailer showed they've definitely got the means & the budget to make this, this time around. It's a very intriguing story.
- Dolphins (April 20, 2018): Saw my first DisneyNature film in theaters with the China one this year, & I'm thinking that's going to become our new Earth Day thing. Beautiful film.
- Avengers: Infinity War (May 4, 2018): Can this just happen already?
- Untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story (May 25, 2018): Hopefully this movie will overcome it's many developmental problems & have a name by the time it's released.
- Incredibles 2 (June 15, 2018): Why have we waited so long? This should've been a thing already.
- Untitled Christopher Robin Project (August 3, 2018): This is probably one of the most intriguing films on this list. This will either be great or just wrong on so many levels. Love Ewan McGregor though.
- The Nutcracker & the Four Realms (November 2, 2018): I had never heard of this until today, but with Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, & Morgan Freeman, I will make a point to hear more.
- Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (November 21, 2018): Loved the first. Heard the sneak peek at D23 was great.
- Mary Poppins Returns (December 25, 2018): Fingers crossed. It's been a long time. Emily Blunt & Lin-Manuel Miranda though? It's gotta be good right?
- Dumbo (March 29, 2019): Tim Burton? Really? Have you heard about the new story? This is the one on this list, if any, that I just don't know about this one working at all.
- Untitled DisneyToon Studios Film (April 12, 2019): Aviation. That's everything known about this movie. I have more faith in that than Dumbo.
- Live-Action Aladdin (May 24, 2019): This one is shaping up to be ever so strange. I have to see it just for that fact. Can all the peculiar choices work?
- Toy Story 4 (June 21, 2019): Can I get tickets for this now? Only question I have is will this coincide with the opening of Toy Story Land?
- Artemis Fowl (August 9, 2019): I kinda see this as Disney's answer to Harry Potter. I hope this is good enough to make me want to read the books as well.
- Nicole (November 8, 2019): This is the weird daughter of Santa Claus movie starring Anna Kendrick. This thing is still happening.
- Star Wars: Episode IX (December 20, 2019): Newest test in J.J. Abrams ending something as good as he begins them.
Any of these stand out? Any of these you want to go away? Hit the links for everything heard so far, & then put your thoughts in the comments, like, & share.
A Wrinkle In Time Trailer Shows They Definitely Have The Means This Time Around
A Wrinkle In Time released it's trailer, & this movie looks really good. I mentioned earlier in the week that Disney had tried this before, but came up short. Even as a kid I was convinced that was because they just didn't have the means to pull it off. This trailer proves they can definitely pull it off now. This has me fully intrigued about this March 9, upcoming film. At times this thing looks flat out creepy. Based on Madeline L'Engle's classic, directed by Ava DeVernay from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee, this film will star: Oprah Winfrey, Reese Wtiherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Pena, Levi Miller, Deric McCabe, Andre Holland, Rowan Blanchard, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Pine, & introduces Storm Reid. Awesome trailer though, I hope this doesn't go the way of Disney's usual live-action, non-animated classic, movies. I still have to convince people to give Tomorrowland & John Carter a chance. They're really good, but no one will watch them. I hope this doesn't just jump on that list. Anyway, let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments, like & share.
New Photos From Disney's "A Wrinkle In Time" Feature Heads Looking At Seemingly Very Interesting Things
Yeah, not to much to this one. Entertainment Weekly released these pictures from the upcoming Disney remake A Wrinkle In Time. Thankfully, there is a trailer coming soon, because this is nothing. You get some heads looking off at something that is probably really interesting. Nonetheless, it's still just basically mugshots. I want to see what they're looking at. Although, Oprah should rock the bedazzled eyebrow thing she's got going all the time. Really though, I remember seeing the original as a kid. Even then I thought it was intriguing. Teen Meg (Storm Reid) tries to find her missing father (Chris Pine). She's then transported through time & space via a tesseract due to three supernatural ladies, Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), Mrs. Whasit (Reese Witherspoon), & Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey). Back then they just couldn't quite pull it off though. That's why I say I want to see what they're looking out. I think with today's effects they can really do something with this. Can't wait for the trailer, I hope this leads to more old Disney classics that they didn't have the means or budget for to be revisited. What do you think of these heads? And what are they all staring at? Any Ideas? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.
