Remember "Hammer Films"...well they are coming back! Universal to Relaunch Classic Movie Monster Franchises

Fantastic news for all classic horror movie fans (such as yours truly)!!!
Latest news coming out of Deadline.com,

EXCLUSIVE: In recent years Universal Pictures has become defined by its The Fast And The Furious, Despicable Me, Bourne and Jurassic Park franchises. But the studio’s most enduring legacy is its library of classic movie monsters that include Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man, Creature Of The Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, Bride Of Frankenstein, and The Mummy. Universal is now dedicating renewed resources and an unprecedented, far-reaching commitment to revitalize its monster heritage.
The studio is in early stages of developing a substantial new production endeavor that will expand and unify a network of classic characters and stories. The architects of that narrative will be Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan. Kurtzman recently broke with partner Roberto Orci, but his big-scale projects have included Transformers, Star Trek and The Amazing Spider-Man. Morgan is the writer behind five installments of The Fast And The Furious, which has been Universal’s most reliably lucrative franchise. It’s not set in stone yet if either will write, but they will soon be going around town enlisting talent to bring new cinematic life to these enduring characters from lore, literature and Universal’s own library. While Universal has selectively tapped its Movie Monster library for The Mummy, Van Helsing, The Wolfman, and the upcoming Dracula Untold, this will be the first time that the studio has formalized an approach to these classic characters in a cohesive, connected way rather than as a series of stand-alone projects by disparate filmmaking teams.
They’ve begun the meetings to put together an interconnected slate of Monster films, and the first will be a reboot of The Mummy, which will be released April 22, 2016. Part of their duty will be to work closely with production, marketing, promotions and consumer product to support the revival. They will also reevaluate projects which have preexisting attachments, and bring it under one cohesive strategy.
While some of those monster pictures haven’t panned out, this seems like a smart move. If Marvel Studios and Disney can build a billion-dollar business relying on the Marvel Comics superhero character library, why shouldn’t Universal redouble its efforts to dust off and modernize the classic movie monsters that inspired many of the movie monsters we see today?

Brad Pitt's /Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkey" TV series trailer watch it on SYFY

Terry Gilliam's '12 Monkeys' is the one movie that made me appreciate the acting abilities of Brad Pitt and the wacky imagination of the insane and charismatic Terry Gilliam.

If you were a fan of the original 1995 "cult"classic (cult may be a long shot as it was a box office success), you will surely want to catch this new series premiere on the ever ambitious SyFy channel.
Here is the trailer for the upcoming TV show

Star Trek 3 News and plot details. Release date confirmed

From an interview with  Star Trek star Zachary Quinto.
Variety online was able to get some plot details out of the Spoke actor.

"Director Roberto Orci has already promised that the upcoming “Star Trek 3″ will head back into deep space and star Zachary Quinto has now teased slightly more about the plot.
Quinto told audiences on Friday at the Television Critics Press Tour that the latest installment of the rebooted franchise will most likely revolve around the five-year mission. As narrated by James T. Kirk in the opening to “Star Trek: The Original Series,” the five-year mission is “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
“I think the five-year mission will be a part of this next film in some way,” Quinto said while promoting his new Starz docuseries “The Chair.” “We’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic sci-fi series in entertainment history so it’s inherently an ongoing story. But I do think that we’ll feel some sense of evolution in these characters that’s been building through the first few films.”
The mission was an assignment given to Starfleet starships to explore uncharted space in the original series.
Quinto, who plays Spock in the franchise, also described new helmer Orci as a Trekkie purist.
“Bob (Orci) is definitely sort of a purist about the ‘Trek’ universe so I’ve spoken to him a number of times about his ideas and they’re really exciting and I’m really excited that we get to be a part of his feature directorial debut,” he said. “It’ll be a different world without J.J. (Abrams) on set every day, but this is a family and Bob is an essential part of that family and we’re all really excited to see where it goes. … The script is being tightened and polished and finished, and I imagine that the phone will be ringing in the next few months to see when we’ll go back into production.”
The sequel marks Orci’s directorial debut. Orci, who co-wrote the first two movies, will also help pen “Star Trek 3.” He co-wrote “The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ and the first two “Transformers” movies. Abrams will produce this third installment after directing the first two films.
“Star Trek 3″ is set to hit theaters in 2016.

Breaking Bad "Better Call Saul" spinoff, behind the scene pics & plot details revealed

If you were a fan of Breaking Bad, you should have probably heard by now that show favorite Saul Goodman is getting his own spin-off series.
Better Call Saul has been in development almost as soon as the series came to an end.
AMC has released some plot details as well as behind the scene production images from the upcoming show.
Details out of AMC are as follow:

"AMC today released 2 photos from the set of the "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul," currently in production in Albuquerque, NM.

The photos feature series stars Bob Odenkirk and Michael McKean.
  In addition, the network confirmed the line-up of series regulars for Saul, set to premiere in early 2015. Joining Odenkirk are Jonathan Banks as "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut, Michael Mando  as Nacho,  all new and old characters will represent both legitimate and illegitimate sides of the law.

Although it has been said that the series will jump around in time, "Better Call Saul" is described as being a prequel "Breaking Bad". Gilligan and Peter Gould created the show together and serve as co-showrunners of the premiere season. The series is set six years before Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) meets Walter White. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is Erhmantraut (Banks). The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in criminal lawyer.  The series tone is dramatic, woven through with dark humor.

As previously announced, Gilligan directed the first episode of the series, which has already been greenlit for a second season of 13 episodes. The debut season will consist of 10 episodes.
