The Punisher
“Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family.”
This week Netflix released a stunning trailer for the upcoming Marvel’s The Punisher series. The trailer is dark–make no mistake this show will feature guns, grit, and blood. Jon Bernthal returns at the titular character. The powerhouse trailer makes superb use of Metallica’s song One, and really sets the tone for the series. The Punisher is set for release sometime later this year on Netflix.
Tomb Raider
The reboot of the Tomb Raider movie has finally gotten a trailer! Alicia Vikander will play Lara Croft in the new film, which is loosely based on 2013 video game re-do of the franchise. Lara Croft will be on a mission to locate her missing father, putting her up against survial tirials, and of course some tomb raiding. Tomb Raider is set to be released March 2018.
Watchmen
It seems like the new HBO Watchmen series is a go! Lots of rumors have HBO ordering a pilot episode, and additional scripts. This week writer and producer Damon Lindelof posted an Instagram photo showing a familiar statue, and titled it “Day One.” Check out the picture here–and for those not in the Watchmen know, the statue is that of Nite Owl, and is featured on the cover of Watchmen #8. No other info has come out at this time, but hopefully moe will be posted soon.
