										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turn up the Metallica. Pour a Guinness. And brace for impact: because Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa have come to wreck it all in <em>The Wrecking Crew</em>, a big, bruising, beer-soaked buddy-action brawler that storms onto screens with unapologetic swagger. This is old-school action energy injected with modern punk attitude, and it delivers one hell of a ride.</p>
<p>Set against the sun-drenched paradise, and shadowy criminal underbelly, of Hawaii, <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> hits the gas hard and never lets up. Director Ángel Manuel Soto (<em>Blue Beetle</em>) pulls from the greatest hits of the buddy-cop genre while gleefully tearing up the rulebook, crafting a film that feels familiar yet feral, classic yet unhinged. The result is a pure adrenaline rush that kicks off 2026 with a resounding, knuckle-cracking bang.</p>
<p><em>Two half-brothers, Jonny (Jason Momoa), a loose cannon Tribal cop and James Hale (Dave Bautista), a disciplined Navy SEAL, must work together to unravel a conspiracy behind their father&#8217;s murder in Hawaii.</em></p>
<p><strong>Brothers In Arms (And At War)</strong></p>
<p>At the heart of <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> are estranged half-brothers forced into an uneasy alliance. Jason Momoa plays Detective Jonny Hale, a reckless, undercover tribal cop with a devil-may-care attitude and a long trail of broken rules behind him. Dave Bautista counters as Commander James Hale, a disciplined, tightly-wound Navy SEAL whose life is built on structure, control, and honor.</p>
<p>The brothers couldn’t be more different — and that’s exactly where the spark ignites.</p>
<p>When a sprawling criminal conspiracy threatens to tear Hawaii apart, Jonny and James are forced to confront not just the bad guys, but years of unresolved resentment, clashing worldviews, and shared blood they’d rather forget. What follows is a combustible mix of fists, bullets, and brotherhood, as Soto mines genuine emotional weight beneath the carnage. Yes, bodies pile up fast: but <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> is just as invested in what it means to be men, warriors, and brothers bound by duty and sacrifice.</p>
<p><strong>Ángel Manuel Soto Goes Full Throttle</strong></p>
<p>Soto directs this film like a man with nothing to lose and everything to prove. There’s no restraint here; just booze, bullets, and badassery delivered with raw confidence. While the film tips its hat to genre staples, <em>Lethal Weapon</em>, <em>Bad Boys</em>, <em>Tango &amp; Cash</em>, it refuses to play by their rules.</p>
<p>There’s a gritty punk-rock edge coursing through <em>The Wrecking Crew</em>, giving the film a wild, unpredictable pulse. Soto balances explosive action with surprisingly thoughtful character beats, and that contrast is what elevates the film beyond a simple shoot-’em-up. Between the mayhem, there’s humor, pain, loyalty, and the bruised intimacy of family ties that refuse to stay buried.</p>
<p><strong>Bautista &#038; Momoa: Peak Action-Star Chemistry</strong></p>
<p>Simply put: Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa are having an absolute blast — and it’s infectious.</p>
<p>Momoa leans hard into his rebel swagger, playing Jonny Hale as a charming, loose-cannon outlaw who thrives on chaos. Bautista, meanwhile, anchors the film as the stoic counterbalance, bringing quiet gravitas and controlled fury to James Hale. Together, they generate electric chemistry, with razor-sharp banter and physical presence that dominates every frame.</p>
<p>Whether they’re trading insults, cracking skulls, or bulldozing through hordes of bad guys, their back-and-forth is endlessly entertaining. When the bullets start flying and the explosions kick off, both actors remind audiences exactly why they’ve become modern action royalty. This is movie-star energy, plain and simple.</p>
<p><strong>A Stacked supporting cast bring the Heat</strong></p>
<p>Backing up the Hale brothers is a stacked supporting ensemble that brings serious heat. Jacob Batalon pops as Pika, a cheeky, pesty, yet endlessly lovable wildcard who injects humor and heart into the mayhem, while Morena Baccarin commands attention as Valentina, a dangerous flame from Jonny’s past who’s more than capable of holding her own in a firefight. Frankie Adams adds grit as Haunani, the cousin the brothers didn’t know they needed until everything goes sideways.</p>
<p>On the villain front, Claes Bang oozes sleaze as the calculating Robichaux, a man begging for his inevitable skull-caving, while Miyavi steals scenes as Nakamura, a rogue Yakuza enforcer dripping with sadistic menace.</p>
<p>Rounding things out, Stephen Root brings weary authority as Detective Rennert, and Temuera Morrison delivers gravitas, and a hell of a surprise, as Governor Peter Mahoe. It’s a deep bench, and everyone shows up ready to brawl.</p>
<p><strong>Action that lives up to the title</strong></p>
<p>If you came for action, <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> delivers it by the truckload.</p>
<p>Soto stages his set pieces with scale, clarity, and brutal impact. From bone-rattling hand-to-hand combat to full-blown vehicular warfare, the film revels in destruction. The third-act highway chase turns Hawaii into a literal war zone, while the penultimate commando-style raid is pure action-movie nirvana; Jonny and James fully tooled up, unleashing hell in a storm of bullets and fists.</p>
<p>This is old-school action reborn, muscular and unapologetic, delivered with modern ferocity. Every explosion lands. Every punch hurts. And when the dust settles, the title has never felt more earned.</p>
<p><strong>Final Verdict</strong></p>
<p><em>The Wrecking Crew</em> is loud, proud, and gloriously excessive, exactly what a great action film should be. With Ángel Manuel Soto firing on all cylinders and Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa operating at peak charisma, this is a high-octane blast that knows its mission and executes it with ruthless efficiency.</p>
<p>If you’re chasing an early-2026 adrenaline fix, look no further. Because <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> goes all out.</p>
<p>So once again: turn up the Metallica, grab a Guinness, and get ready to roll out — <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> has arrived.</p>
<p><em>The Wrecking Crew</em> is streaming NOW on Prime Video.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/2026/01/06/jason-momoa-and-dave-bautisa-are-ready-bring-the-action-in-the-wrecking-crew/" target="_blank">Following a set of first look imagery</a>, we&#8217;ve not got a brand new trailer for Prime Video&#8217;s all-out heavy metal, Hawaiian set action thriller <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33046197/" target="_blank"><em>The Wrecking Crew</em></a> starring Hollywood heavyhitters Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, and it&#8217;s totally WILD! </p>
<p>Watch the all-new and totally wild trailer for <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> below: </p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="385" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v8R0xDczERo?si=k6FaZIp6I-4vl-R4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis: </p>
<p><em>Two estranged half-brothers, brazen undercover cop Jonny (Jason Momoa) and disciplined Navy SEAL James (Dave Bautista) are forced to reunite after their father’s mysterious death. As they set out to uncover the truth, buried secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, unveiling a conspiracy that can tear their family apart. Together, they are ready to WRECK anything that gets in their way.</em></p>
<p>The trailer starts off with a hell of a BANG, and just grows form their as estranged brothers Jonny (Momoa), a wild undercover cop and James (Bautista), a disciplined Navy SEAL find themselves targeted by the Yakuza in the wake of their father&#8217;s death in Hawaii, and once pushed, they push back and the result is plenty of bullets, booze and brazen explosive fun, and The Wrecking Crew will leave audiences amped. </p>
<p>Along with it&#8217;s all out action mania, <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> is also incredibly funny, with both Momoa and Bautista trading quips, but the film also benefits from the spot on comedic timing of Jacob Batalon, while head turning stunner Morena Baccarin deliver splenty of sex appeal and gives both Jonny and James a run for their money. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s just awesome to see Momoa and Bautista teaming up together in a picture that is a throwback to classic buddy-cop action series such as <em>Lethal Weapon</em>, while also finding new room to grow and explore within the genre, and <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> really goes for it as filmmaker Ángel Manuel Soto finds new room to explore, and blow up, within the genre. </p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis:</p>
<p><em>Two estranged half-brothers, brazen undercover cop Jonny (Jason Momoa) and disciplined Navy SEAL James (Dave Bautista) are forced to reunite after their father’s mysterious death. As they set out to uncover the truth, buried secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, unveiling a conspiracy that can tear their family apart. Together, they are ready to WRECK anything that gets in their way. </em></p>
<p>While we&#8217;re still waiting on the first trailer, <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> is tapping into that classic Lethal Weapon/Tango &amp; Cash energy that audiences know and love and with Momoa and Bautista stepping up together you know it&#8217;s just going to be wild.</p>
<p>Another rason to get excited is because we&#8217;ve got Ángel Manuel Soto on as a director, along with Jonathan Tropper as the film&#8217;s screenwriter, who produced the superb Warrior and Banshee television series, and if you know what kind of action these series delivered then you can have an idea of what kind of wild and carzy fun we&#8217;re in store for with <em>The Wrecking Crew</em>.</p>
<p>A top-notch cast including Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, with Stephen Root and Morena Baccarin provides key support, and it&#8217;s awesome to see action cinema back, and kicking serious ass for 2026.</p>
<p>Prime Video has delivered some great action cinema over the last year with the likes of <em>Roadhouse</em> and <em>The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare</em>, and if you&#8217;re looking to have your adreanal gland kick into high gear then this is the time to make a plan to check out The Wrecking Crew in 2026.</p>
<p>So thrown on the shades, pour a Tequila, crank the Metallica and get ready for ACTION when <em>The Wrecking Crew</em> arrives on Prime Video on January 28.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In recent years writer-director M. Night Shyamalan has found new energy and tempo as a filmmaker and has re-acquainted himself back with audiences as a master of suspense. Now his terrifying new work, <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> has arrived and it will definitely leave audiences feeling uneasy.</p>
<p><em>While vacationing at a remote cabin in the woods, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand they make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. Confused, scared and with limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.</em></p>
<p>Balancing issues of family loyalty with stark horror and the arrival of an apocalyptic event, <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> is an intense, sinister and shocking piece of cinema. And writer-director M. Night Shyamalan brings out the fight in this distressing horror picture. Adapting the best seller from author Paul G. Tremblay, <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> is an intimate yet tension-filled watch as a young family struggles with horrific events and the seeming end of the world that draws on every ounce of them to make it through. Best described as a &#8216;siege movie&#8217;, Shyamalan places audiences right in the midst of the unfolding horror of this picture and leads heavily on the suspense and outcomes of the actions of the &#8216;Strangers&#8217;, and minute by minute the strain and suspense of this picture builds upon the audience.</p>
<p>A key figure within <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> is Dave Bautista who steps out of his comfort zone with an incredibly dramatic performance as the benevolent yet threatening Leonard. And audiences will be wowed by his performance. With his colossal figure and intimidating presence, Dave Bautista always presents a certain way, but with the character of Leonard, we find him giving an altogether different kind of performance. Soft-spoken, polite and nervous in his presentation, Bautista&#8217;s Leonard is not a dark and savage monster but an ordinary &#8216;good man&#8217; placed into a devastating choice. His actions and demeanour throughout the film slowly draw on the audience and we soon see his plight and the horrors he has to commit and this instead only gives way to immense sympathy on the part of the audience. It&#8217;s a hell of a performance from Bautista and audiences will be flawed by his presence within the narrative.</p>
<p>While not trying to give any shocks or twists away, I will say that <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> is a classic M. Night Shyamalan film, and audiences looking for a surprise will get it. It&#8217;s a picture that moves quickly, and its third act is a confronting watch. <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> has a flavour and style that I would attribute to those classic horror films of the 1980s. It&#8217;s a film that gives audiences the unexpected in both its narrative structure, characters and horror action, and there are plenty of bombshells that audiences won&#8217;t see coming.</p>
<p>For those who need their horror fix, <em>Knock at the Cabin</em> is a film that delivers it with a hell of a punch, and this is one horror watch that you won&#8217;t soon forget.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zack Snyder is back and after the triumphant success of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>, the blockbuster director has made his Netflix debut with big-budget zombie action thrill ride <em>Army of the Dead</em> and this makes for a very fun watch.</p>
<p><em>After a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries takes the ultimate gamble by venturing into the quarantine zone for the greatest heist ever.</em></p>
<p>Returning to the playground of zombie horror which first started his career with 2004&#8217;s <em>Dawn of the Dead</em>, long-time blockbuster filmmaker Zack Snyder makes the shift to Netflix with <em>Army of the Dead</em>, a quasi-sequel of sorts to his original work on <em>Dawn of the Dead</em> which re-imagines a new zombie outbreak in Las Vegas and mixes in a high-octane, larger than life casino robbery with a group of very out-there and electric characters. Snyder is once again on point with this new adaptation in <em>Army of the Dead</em> and he seriously blows things up thanks to a mixture of hard-hitting action, intense character development and freakishly inventive zombie horror gore.</p>
<p>While we all think we understand and know what a zombie horror movie is, Snyder throws that out the window this time with <em>Army of the Dead</em>. Yes, there are zombies, and yes there is gore, but he really shifts things up with his creativity and imagines a brand new zombie world after the fall of Las Vegas. While we have the dead and ghoulish &#8216;scramblers&#8217; in <em>Army of the Dead</em>, we also have a new species of zombie, The Alpha, a set of creatures who show extreme strength, speed and intelligence and who are this hyper-primordial new species of fearsome monster. These &#8216;Alpha&#8217; zombies are legitimately terrifying and Snyder&#8217;s use of them throws the action of his movie in a brand new direction, and it&#8217;s a solid addition to a genre where we thought we had seen everything. And yes there is a ZOMBIE TIGER!</p>
<p><em>Army of the Dead</em> is first and foremost a &#8216;men on a mission&#8217; type of movie, and Snyder assembles a large ensemble cast to break into Las Vegas for the ultimate heist job. Leading the pack is Hollywood heavy-hitter, Dave Bautista, as Scott Ward, a former Special Forces soldier turned mercenary who faced the initial zombie outbreak head-on and who has been left broken by it. Finding a last-ditch effort for redemption he jumps at the chance to enter Vegas, to not only provide for himself and his team with a massive score but also to re-connect with his long lost daughter Kate (Ella Purnell).</p>
<p>While Bautista has long proven that he could handle heavy artillery and high action sequences, it&#8217;s the emotional connection of a father trying to protect and reconnect with his daughter where he really shines in here. Bautista brings considerable depth and emotional weight to his performance as Scott, and it&#8217;s a side of him that we are beginning to see more and more of and he&#8217;s proving that he has a real talent for performance. Bautista&#8217;s team-up with Snyder produces a great working relationship that leads to a great performance on Bautista&#8217;s behalf. Whether he&#8217;s kicking zombie ass or leading an emotional scene, Bautista gives it his all and the film&#8217;s penultimate moments between Scott and Kate are sure to leave you on the verge of tears. It&#8217;s a great turn for Bautista and I hope like hell we see him working with Snyder down the road again.</p>
<p>Joining Bautista in <em>Army of the Dead</em> as his rag-tag merc crew are Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Nora Arnezeder, Tig Notaro and Matthias Schweighöfer. Each of them is a stand-out in their own way, and each of them gets to put their own mark on <em>Army of the Dead</em>. As Vanderohe, Omari Hardwick brings a considerable philosophical stoicism that counterbalances his alpha-male standing, while Ana de la Reguera has a can-do attitude as soldier-mechanic Maria who jumps head-first into the chance to rob Vegas. Nora Arnezeder is the tough-as-nails and scrappy coyote Lily, who helps Scott and his team breach Vegas and she&#8217;s a definite dangerous woman. Then there&#8217;s Tig Notaro whose pithy comments and smirky attitude as helicopter pilot Peters lead to plenty of off-kilter humour. But the scene-stealer is definitely Schweighöfer as German safecracker Ludwig Dieter who has a blast as this high-strung character and he injects so much fun into the movie.</p>
<p><em>Army of the Dead</em> is a film that really goes its own way and it&#8217;s not the movie that you expect. Its action, drama, humour and zombies really defy the conventional genre setting and that results in a very fun watch. All throughout Snyder zigs and zags with this story and the kill count rises quickly, with plenty of gore thrown in for good measure and audiences seeking action-zombie-horror fun at the height of its insanity, which is amplified even more thanks to the film&#8217;s Las Vegas setting, will be well-impressed by the results. Snyder and his cast clearly had a blast working on this project and it absolutely shows on screen in all its blood and guts, hellfire zombie-mania glory.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re seeking some late-night fun and are looking for a double dose of action and horror goodness then <em>Army of the Dead</em> is a film you seriously need to check out&#8230;.because this one is crazy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Denis Villeneuve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune</em></a> has long been touted as our most anticipated film of 2020 and following a <a href="https://spicypulp.com/2020/04/14/behold-our-first-look-at-dune/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first look image</a> at the film&#8217;s lead hero Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet), we now have an expanded look into the world and characters that exist within it.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/behold-dune-an-exclusive-look-at-timothee-chalamet-zendaya-oscar-isaac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> once again brings a brand new selection of images to audiences, alongside an expanded look into the creation of this epic science fiction film, which will be split into two parts at the insistence of director Denis Villeneuve, whom has long sighted this adaptation as his passion project.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,” says Villeneuve. “The world is too complex. It’s a world that takes its power in details.”</p>
<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26412" src="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-05.jpg" alt="Dune New Look SpicyPulp" width="999" height="635" srcset="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-05.jpg 999w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-05-300x191.jpg 300w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-05-768x488.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></p>
<p>To bring this film to life the director has assembled an incredible cast of talented performers who include the likes of Timothee Charalemt as Paul Atreides, Dune&#8217;s central character; Rebecca Ferguson as Paul&#8217;s mother Lady Jessica; Oscar Isaac as Paul&#8217;s father, Duke Leto Atreides, Lord of the House Atreides; Josh Brolin as Gurney Helleck, weapons master of House Atreides; Jason Momoa as Duncan Idado, swordmaster of House Atreides; Stephen McKinley Henderson as Thufir Hawat, a Mentat loyal to House Atreides; Chang Chen as Dr. Wellington Yueh, a Suk doctor in the employ of the Atreides family; Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, sworn enemy to Leto and former steward of Arrakis; Dave Bautista as &#8216;Beast&#8217; Glossu Rabban, the brutish nephew of Baron Harkonnen; David Dastmalchian as Piter De Vries, a twisted Mentat loyal to the Baron; Zendaya as Chani, Fremen daughter of Imperial Planetologist Liet-Kynes and Paul&#8217;s love interest; Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Liet-Kynes, Imperial Planetologist and Javier Bardem as Stilgar, leader of the Fremen.</p>
<p>In addition to this unbelievable cast that Villeneuve has assembled for <em>Dune</em>, the director has also pulled together an incredible line-up of behind-the-scenes collaborators for this project including cinematographer Greig Fraser and composer Hans Zimmer, who are bringing their talents to bear in a big way on this production. From thee new images it&#8217;s clear that Fraser&#8217;s lens will capture some extraordinary images, and the film&#8217;s production and locations, including the likes of Jordan and Abu Dubai, and these crisp vistas and seemingly unending desert landscapes will truly transport audiences to a new realm and landscape.</p>
<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26413" src="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-03.jpg" alt="Dune New Look SpicyPulp" width="450" height="639" srcset="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-03.jpg 450w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-03-211x300.jpg 211w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></a></p>
<p><em>Dune</em> has some of the most amazing character ever committed to the printed page, and Villeneuve is working his own magic here to expand on them, and make them his own. One such character is Rebecca Ferguson&#8217;s Lady Jessica, mother to Paul and Duke Leto&#8217;s concubine, who has immense power within the narrative. Villeneuve has described Lady Jessica as a &#8216;warrior priestess&#8217; and the importance of Lady Jessica to the success of <em>Dune&#8217;s</em> narrative was not lost on actress Rebecca Ferguson.</p>
<p>“She’s a mother, she’s a concubine, she’s a soldier,” says Ferguson. “Denis was very respectful of Frank’s work in the book, [but] the quality of the arcs for much of the women have been brought up to a new level. There were some shifts he did, and they are beautifully portrayed now.”</p>
<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26414" src="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-04.jpg" alt="Dune New Look SpicyPulp" width="455" height="637" srcset="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-04.jpg 455w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-04-214x300.jpg 214w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px" /></a></p>
<p>The other character whom Villeneuve spent considerable time developing for the film was <em>Dune&#8217;s</em> chief antagonist, the brutal and monstrous Baron Harkonnen, who will be played by Stellen Skarsgard, and for the moment, along side Dave Bautisa&#8217;s &#8216;Beast&#8217; Rabban and the rest of the Harkonnen host, is yet to be seen.</p>
<p>Considerable prosthetics have been used to bring the character to life, and Villeneuve&#8217;s take on the classic bad guy character sees the Baron as less of a mad man and more of a predator. “As much as I deeply love the book, I felt that the baron was flirting very often with caricature,” says Villeneuve. “And I tried to bring him a bit more dimension. That’s why I brought in Stellan. Stellan has something in the eyes. You feel that there’s someone thinking, thinking, thinking—that has tension and is calculating inside, deep in the eyes. I can testify, it can be quite frightening.”</p>
<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26415" src="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02.jpg" alt="Dune New Look SpicyPulp" width="894" height="638" srcset="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02.jpg 894w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02-300x214.jpg 300w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02-768x548.jpg 768w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-02-560x400.jpg 560w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px" /></a></p>
<p>Some of the coolest images from this new set released by Vanity Fair highlight the film&#8217;s supporting cast including the likes of Oscar Issac&#8217;s Duke Leto, Josh Brolin&#8217;s tough-willed warrior Gurney Helleck and Jason Momoa&#8217;s elegant swordmaster Duncan Idaho. The new look at these characters gives us an insight into the world of the House of Atreides, which seems to meld ideas of both classic European and Japanese design with their incredible full-plate science fiction armour, and their perfectly crafted weaponry. Both Isaac and Momoa look particularly great in <em>Dune</em>, with Isaac possessing this commanding presence of command as Leto and Momoa having this Samurai elegance to him as Duncan.</p>
<p>One of the most beautiful images also showcases one of the film&#8217;s most important central characters, Chani, a native Fremen daughter of Arrakis, and the love interest for Chalamet&#8217;s Paul. This image is absolutely stunning and Zendaya perfectly captures the very essence of Chani and the Fremen people. There&#8217;s a beauty to her, but also a savageness, and a sense that perhaps she has seen more than she has supposed to see and you can feel that she&#8217;s a survivor. It&#8217;s a beautiful image and one that so clearly captures the very essence of what this <em>Dune</em> film is going to be like.</p>
<p><a href="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26416" src="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-06.jpg" alt="Dune New Look SpicyPulp" width="603" height="638" srcset="https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-06.jpg 603w, https://spicypulp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/dune-new-look-spicypulp-06-284x300.jpg 284w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px" /></a></p>
<p>Everything about this first set of images for <em>Dune</em> is cause for excitement, and these images showcase a beautifully rendered science fiction universe that will be amazing to explore and watch when <em>Dune</em> arrives in cinemas on December 26.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani bring plenty of laughs to the big screen in a BIG way in <em>Stuber</em>, and it is a flat out piece of comedy genius.</p>
<p><em>When a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) picks up a passenger (Dave Bautista) who turns out to be a cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer, he&#8217;s thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he desperately tries to hold onto his wits, his life and his five-star rating. </em></p>
<p>Noted comedic director Michael Dowse takes audiences on one hell of a crazy ride share through the streets of Los Angeles with <em>Stuber</em> and the results are utterly hilarious. Dowse&#8217;s work on <em>Stuber</em> pays homage to buddy-cop action comedies of the 1980s such as <em>48 Hours</em> and <em>Lethal Weapon</em>, and he takes that genre and really dials it up here. Dowse has a great understanding of how to use his cast, narrative and the genre itself to really get the most out of this crazy mismatched buddy-cop film, and the resulting experience is something that audiences won&#8217;t be able to contain their laughter with.</p>
<p>Taking the lead in <em>Stuber</em> is Dave Bautista as hardened detective Vic Manning and it&#8217;s a great reinvention for this rising action star! While he&#8217;s packed out with muscles and is known for kicking some serious ass, Bautista really gets to show off his comedic chops here and the result is something incredibly crazy. Part of the fun of Bautista&#8217;s role in <em>Stuber</em> is that he really invests in the comedy and is willing to go to plenty of zany places, allowing his tough guy persona to be a leading part in the laughs. Whether he&#8217;s flying through the air with a gun or falling into some new bumbling situation, Bautista definitely brings the comedy and audiences will just love his performance here.</p>
<p>Standing next to Bautista&#8217;s Vic, or more likely under him, is Kumail Nanjiani as Stu, a mild-mannered part-time Uber driver, whom Vic continually calls Steve, and he gets taken for one serious ride here. Nanjiani does a very convincing job at portraying the ultimate doormat here, and he gets one hell of a shock as Vic tries to man him up! The resulting trade-off between these two performers is just hilarious to watch, and it&#8217;s fun to watch Nanjiani get to be this accidental hero, and his resulting police activity is extremely funny to watch.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for comedy, well, you&#8217;ve absolutely come to the right place with <em>Stuber</em>! Seriously, the hilarity involved in this film will make your jaw ache because you&#8217;ll be laughing so much, and Dowse sets it up right from the start. Whether it&#8217;s the hilarious accidents that Vic gets into on account of losing his vision thanks to laser eye surgery, Stu&#8217;s desperation to achieve a five-star rating, the life advice that Stu receives from a male stripper or a crazed sporting goods store fight, <em>Stuber</em> absolutely delivers on the laughs! I seriously haven&#8217;t laughed this hard in a long, long time, and audiences will definitely be in hysterics here.</p>
<p>Also as <em>Stuber</em> is set firmly in the action/comedy buddy cop drama and bears a big influence of 1980s cinema you can be assured that there&#8217;s a considerable amount of boom here. From crazed gunfights to somewhat high-speed car chase scenes that involve Stu&#8217;s leased electric car, <em>Stuber</em> gives audiences plenty of entertainment to keep them amped and it sure is fun to watch. Dowse also knows how to handle the action properly and it&#8217;s fun to watch him use it to his advantage where it feeds into the comedy on display. Bautista is definitely quick on the trigger here and there&#8217;s plenty of visual spectacle to really give audiences a treat.</p>
<p><em>Stuber</em> is just a great all-around fun watch and there&#8217;s so much comedy to keep audiences entertained that they&#8217;ll definitely want to get in on this ride.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The galaxy&#8217;s biggest misfits are back to save the universe one more time in <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2</em>, but a few curve balls are likely to be thrown their way as revealed in the latest trailer for James Gunn&#8217;s blockbuster.</p>
<p>The fan-favourite director has packed the trailer with some fantastic unseen footage, which places greater emphasis on Nebula and Yondu, while teasing the appearance of a strange new alien race led by the gilded Ayesha, who has intentions of purifying the cosmos.</p>
<p>But the coolest part of the trailer arrives in the form of Kurt Russell&#8217;s Ego the Living Planet, a literal cosmic entity who has assumed a humanised form, and reveals himself to be Peter Quill&#8217;s father.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="900" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BVLo_hQMHh4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Dave Bautista, plus featuring the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, this sequel to 2014&#8217;s <em>Guardians of the Galaxy </em>is likely to be Marvel&#8217;s biggest release this year.</p>
<p><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2</em> arrives in cinemas on April 27 in New Zealand and Australia, and on May 5 in the US and UK.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You only get one chance to save the galaxy&#8230;.twice.</p>
<p>So says the brand new TV spot for James Gunn&#8217;s <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, </em>which is amped up with a rocking beat and plenty of kick ass footage. Check it out below:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="900" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eX0KjDFvDAY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Not only do we get to see some great new fooatge including Dave Bautista&#8217;s Drax completely losing it, and Vin Diesel&#8217;s Baby Groot messing around with Peter Quill&#8217;s walkman, but we may just have an insight into the third track for the eponymous Awesome Mix Volume Two.</p>
<p>If anyone would be rocking out to David Bowie it would of course be Star Lord himself, and Gunn appears to have selected the late rocker&#8217;s thumping track <em>&#8216;Suffragette City&#8217;</em> from his legendary 1972 LP <em>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars </em>for inclusion in the film.</p>
<p>Gunn has openly admitted that he entertained discussions about casting Bowie in the film before the singer&#8217;s tragic death in 2016. While it&#8217;s sad that we never got to see the multi-talented artist appear in a Marvel film, it&#8217;s a great tribute from Gunn to include such a wicked song in <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. </em></p>
<p>The film will arrive in cinemas on April 27 in New Zealand and Australia, and on May 5 in the US and UK.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2</em> is THE film we&#8217;re looking forward to seeing in 2017, and after months of fans badgering him for a proper taste of the flick, director James Gunn has now unleashed the first full length teaser trailer.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the synopsis:</p>
<p><em>Following their initial defeat of Ronan and their encounter with an Infinity Stone, the Guardians are struggling to keep their new found family together, while half-human/half-alien adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) searches for his real father.</em></p>

<p>If there is one reason why we love this new trailer, it can be summed up in two words: BABY GROOT!</p>
<p>This adorable little space tree steals every single moment in the trailer, mostly in the way he just wants to press the big red death button. Baby Groot&#8217;s new appearance and personality also appears to have redefined his relationship with Rocket, with the latter now more of a parental figure than a friend. But don&#8217;t let Baby Groot fool you — he can still deal to any enemy no matter their size&#8230;as an unlucky Ravager appears to find out.</p>
<p>This trailer is a rock n&#8217;roll extravaganza from beginning to end, and is set to the thumping tune of Sweet&#8217;s &#8216;Fox On The Run&#8217;, and I&#8217;ve got a feeling that this track will also appear on the elusive Awesome Mix Vol.2.</p>
<p>And while the teaser mostly revolves around the Guardians fighting a giant space alien, we also get to see more of the Ravagers, and are introduced to Pom Klementieff&#8217;s Mantis, along with her unique powers. But naturally when she levels them at Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), his playboy feelings get the better of him.</p>
<p><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2</em> will be released on May 5, 2017.</p>
