										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Denis Villeneuve’s <em>Dune</em> saga has defined cinema since the early 2020s, standing as a crowning achievement of modern filmmaking and a powerful reminder of why the theatrical experience still matters. Now, in a surprise reveal, Villeneuve has unveiled the first teaser for <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31378509/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune: Part Three</em></a> &#8211; an ambitious and emotionally charged final act that promises to be nothing short of awe-inspiring.</p>
<p>Check out the full trailer for <em>Dune: Part Three</em> below:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_9vCamtuPY?si=OYNBMBZK6PnnE4Xs" width="640" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Drawing from <em>Dune Messiah</em>, the story follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), now deified as Muad’Dib and ruling as Padishah Emperor. His holy war has torn across the galaxy, leaving devastation in its wake, and Paul now finds himself encircled by enemies, conspiracies, and the ever-present shadow of death. At the centre of this rising storm is Scytale, a Tleilaxu Face Dancer (Robert Pattinson), whose calculated and deeply personal conspiracy begins to unravel Paul’s fragile grip on power—and sanity.</p>

<p>With <em>Dune: Part Three</em>, Villeneuve leans fully into Herbert’s most provocative ideas: that charismatic leaders are dangerous, that hero worship breeds ruin, and that even the most powerful figures are undone by their own inner flaws. It’s a bold thematic pivot that promises a darker, more introspective conclusion to the saga.</p>
<p>Once again, the scale is staggering. Arrakis returns in all its harsh majesty, while the consequences of Paul’s interstellar jihad echo across a broken universe. The returning ensemble is as formidable as ever, with Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Bardem all reprising their roles. Notably, Jason Momoa returns as Duncan Idaho; reborn as the ghola Hayt, a haunting echo of the warrior once loyal to House Atreides.</p>

<p>New faces further elevate the drama, including Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Paul’s sister; a formidable, almost otherworldly presence of immense psychic power. Opposite her, Pattinson’s Scytale emerges as a cunning and ruthless adversary, one who sees the fatal flaw in Paul’s empire and moves to exploit it.</p>

<p><em>Dune: Part Three</em> is shaping up to be an immersive, visually spectacular, and emotionally charged finale—one steeped in political intrigue, existential reckoning, and the devastating cost of absolute power. Following the monumental achievements of <a href="https://spicypulp.com/2021/12/04/dune-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune</em></a> and <a href="https://spicypulp.com/2024/02/28/dune-part-two-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune: Part Two</em></a>, this final chapter looks set to close Villeneuve’s epic with seismic force.</p>

										<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>If there was ever a game that screamed pure, unfiltered creativity, it’s <em>Minecraft</em>. With its boundless sandbox world, limitless potential, and universally beloved aesthetic, bringing it to the big screen was no easy feat. But, thankfully, <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> rises to the challenge and delivers a wildly entertaining, family-friendly experience that is packed with humor, heart, and an undeniable sense of adventure.</p>
<p><em>Four misfits — Garrett &#8220;The Garbage Man&#8221; Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) — find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they&#8217;ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like piglins and zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative&#8230;the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.</em></p>
<p>Helmed by director Jared Hess (<em>Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre</em>), <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> embraces the offbeat humor and energetic storytelling that he’s known for, crafting a film that is as zany as it is endearing. Fans of the game will be in awe at the dazzling level of world-building, as the Overworld is brought to life in all its pixelated, blocky glory. This is <em>Minecraft</em> as you’ve always imagined it—a realm of infinite creativity where anything is possible, and <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> taps into that sense of wonder with pure joy.</p>
<p>Jason Momoa sheds his usual brooding action-hero persona to let loose as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, a washed-up 1980s video game champion desperately attempting to rebrand himself as a modern-day life coach. Swept up in the bizarre and unpredictable chaos of <em>A Minecraft Movie</em>, Momoa delivers a comedic tour de force filled with offbeat charm and some truly hilarious motivational misquotes. Seeing Momoa take on a role so utterly different from his usual stoic warrior archetype is refreshing, and he proves he has comedic chops in spades. His performance is filled with energy and just the right amount of self-awareness, making Garrett an absolute scene-stealer.</p>
<p>If you thought <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> couldn’t get any wilder, enter Jack Black as Steve, the Overworld’s guardian and resident master builder. Black is in full <em>School of Rock</em> and Tenacious D mode here, radiating the infectious, larger-than-life energy that only he can bring. Whether he’s belting out epic rock ballads or guiding our heroes through a series of increasingly ridiculous block-building escapades, he is a joy to watch. Steve is equal parts mentor, shaman, and chaotic wildcard, and Black relishes every single moment. His performance is the beating heart of the film, and audiences, both kids and their parents, will love every second of his antics.</p>
<p>Adding another layer of hilarity to the mix is Jennifer Coolidge as Vice Principal Marlene. Ditzy, delightfully off-kilter, and as eccentric as ever, Coolidge is an absolute riot. Her character’s involvement in the Overworld’s collision with the real world results in one of the movie’s most outrageous (and surprisingly heartwarming) subplots, including a very interesting love story that has to be seen to be believed. Coolidge has a gift for stealing scenes, and here, she’s in peak form, delivering some of the biggest laughs of the film.</p>
<p>Beyond the comedy, <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> is a visual spectacle. The seamless fusion of live-action and CGI gives the Overworld an immersive, tactile feel, capturing the blocky, pixel-perfect aesthetic of <em>Minecraft</em> with incredible attention to detail. Every biome, every build, every mob is brought to life with stunning accuracy, ensuring that fans of the game will feel right at home. The special effects work is nothing short of dazzling, and whether it’s explosive creeper encounters or elaborate Redstone contraptions, everything feels pulled straight from the game itself.</p>
<p>At its core, <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> is more than just a wacky adventure, it’s a celebration of creativity, imagination, and community. The film carries a powerful message of inclusivity and open-mindedness, reminding audiences that the only limit to what we can achieve is our own imagination. It’s wholesome, uplifting, and leaves you with a sense of boundless possibility, much like the game that inspired it.</p>
<p>With its perfect blend of laugh-out-loud comedy, stunning visuals, and heartfelt storytelling, <em>A Minecraft Movie</em> is a must-watch for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Whether you’re a hardcore builder or just looking for a fun night at the movies, this film delivers in every way. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to 2021&#8217;s biggest blockbuster of the year it&#8217;s clear that Denis Villeneuve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune</em></a> is that movie. And now we have a final epic trailer for audiences to look upon.</p>
<p>Check out the full trailer below:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w0HgHet0sxg" width="640" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis:</p>
<p><em>In the far future of humanity, Duke Leto Atreides accepts stewardship of the dangerous desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune, the only source of the most valuable substance in the universe, “melange” (also called “spice”), a drug that extends human life, provides superhuman levels of thought, and makes faster-than-light travel practical. Though Leto knows the opportunity is an intricate trap set by his enemies, he takes his Bene Gesserit concubine Lady Jessica, young son and heir Paul, and most trusted advisors to Arrakis. Leto takes control of the spice mining operation, which is made perilous by the presence of giant sandworms. A bitter betrayal leads Paul and Jessica to the Fremen, natives of Arrakis who live in the deep desert.</em></p>
<p>The final trailer presents an amazing new amount of gorgeous new footage for audiences to look upon and really places the audience in a mindset for an unbelievably epic piece of cinema. There&#8217;s a tremendous sense of scale and size in this new trailer and it builds on that promise that Dune will be an epic for our time.</p>
<p>Along with the new trailer, <em>Dune</em> star Jason Momoa who stars as Duncan Idaho, a swordmaster sworn to protect the House of Atreides and who is very much a knight/samurai warrior of pure honour and skill has released a brand new video on his very popular YouTube channel which takes audiences inside the making of Dune, which Momoa has called one of the greatest creative experiences of his life.</p>

<p><em>Dune</em> is set to arrive IN CINEMAS on December 2.</p>

<p><em>In the far future of humanity, Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) accepts the stewardship of the dangerous desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune, the only source of the most valuable substance in the universe, “melange” (also called “spice”), a drug that extends human life, provides superhuman levels of thought, and makes faster-than-light travel practical. Though Leto knows the opportunity is an intricate trap set by his enemies, he takes his Bene Gesserit concubine Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), young son and heir Paul (Timothée Chalamet), and most trusted advisors to Arrakis. Leto takes control of the spice mining operation, which is made perilous by the presence of giant sandworms. A bitter betrayal leads Paul and Jessica to the Fremen, natives of Arrakis who live in the deep desert.</em></p>
<p>This new <a href="https://spicypulp.com/2021/07/20/new-posters-emerge-for-dune/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dune</em></a> trailer gives audiences a key insight into the events of this blockbuster movie and mark my words, this film will be an event that all must witness up on the big screen. Having been lucky enough to have witnessed a special IMAX preview event of <em>Dune</em>, and having witnessed the first 10 minutes of footage I can say that without-a-doubt this film will very much be a cinema defining event movie. And audiences the world overr will be enthralled by what they witness.</p>
<p>With a phenomenal cast that includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Javier Bardem and Stellen Skarsgard, <em>Dune</em> is a cinematic event for the ages, and this new film will totally blow your mind away with the images and story that it brings to life.</p>
<p>The new trailer has terrific energy and action attached to it, and the scope and scale of this project and the attention to detail that Villeneuve&#8217;s brings to this futuristic and planet-defining tale of science fiction is sure to leave a big impression on audiences, both those new to the material, along with established <em>Dune</em> fanatics.</p>
<p>With its grand visuals, impressive characters and unique designs and artistry, <em>Dune</em> is shaping up to be something incredibly bold and dynamic, and its impressive themes of power, loyalty, ecology, identity, civilization and destiny are sure to hold you in its grasp. The trailer is also set to Hans Zimmer&#8217;s beautiful new score which replaces earthly instruments of human construction with organic percussion sounds, alongside resampled vocalisations of many different performers to establish a sound that is unique to the film&#8217;s vast future setting.</p>
<p><em>Dune</em> is an event movie that will hold audiences in awe and wonder and will arrive IN CINEMAS on October 21&#8230;.and the spice must flow.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To achieve an ultimate vision is to fight for it, and that is what director Zack Snyder has done, in more ways than one, with the completion and presentation of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>, a four-hour cinema epic that brings to life his true vision for superhero blockbuster <em>Justice League</em> and it&#8217;s AWESOME.</p>
<p><em>Following the death of Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman and Wonder Woman recruit the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg to form the Justice League and protect the world from Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons, who seek the three Mother Boxes.</em></p>
<p>As a director, Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing figures to step behind-the-camera. Right from the beginning, he has done things his way, and he&#8217;s always worked to make movies that carry his own unique artistic expression. And this is a director who will not compromise on his artistic vision. But through no-fault of his own and a deeply personal tragedy, he had to walk away from 2017&#8217;s <em>Justice League</em> and so could not bring his ultimate vision to life. But through a commitment and desire from the fans, who held a burning desire to see Snyder&#8217;s true vision for this movie come to life, we now have<em> Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>&#8230;and it has been well worth the wait.</p>
<p>If you are a Zack Snyder fan you&#8217;re going to love this movie. With the presentation of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>, our director gets to show-off his unique visual presence, and all of his trademark calling cards are present here. From his unique grim dark setting to the exploration of mythic archetypes, to the frequent use of slow-motion action sequences and impressive, grand visual effects, all of it is present in <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>, and Snyder dials it all the way up. While audiences may have seen this film before, Snyder&#8217;s new presentation presents the film in a far different light, and we get to go much deeper into the story he is telling and are able to gleam new insights, narrative points and character developments because of the new cut.</p>
<p>At just over four hours long, Snyder really takes his time in crafting this cut of <em>Justice League</em>, and it&#8217;s an entirely different watch. Snyder is able to pace out the gigantic presentation through the use of an innovative chapter system, and this gives the film a rhythm and energy that keeps the film moving forward. While I won&#8217;t go into any type of strong specifics around the narrative, I will say that he places his attention of capturing the mythic quality of the Justice League and the characters that make up the DCEU. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have always been presented as iconic, archetypal characters, and Snyder presents them so in this way in this cut. And the appearance of these characters, as they are truly meant to be, makes for a far more engaging viewing experience as an audience member.</p>
<p>Along with presenting a new side to this story, Snyder also presents it in a whole new way thanks to his use of the 1.33:1 aspect ratio, which leads to a much fuller image. Snyder has long been a fan of this aspect ratio and it takes the scale and scope of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> to a whole new level. The images are fuller, with more detail being captured, and the result is a far grander presentation of an epic blockbuster cinematic event. Snyder&#8217;s focus on capturing these iconic characters in this new format creates an experience that I can relate back to the grand vision of David Lean and cinematographer Freddie Young, and their ability to inspire epic cinematic moments, and that&#8217;s exactly what Snyder has done here in his new cut of <em>Justice League</em>.</p>
<p>One of the most exciting parts about witnessing <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> is the new presentation of the core six members of the Justice League. Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are all presented in a bold new light, and these new narratives and character developments are very fun to watch. But it&#8217;s the villains that keep things interesting in this one. Not only do we see a far more aggressive and demonic presentation of Ciaran Hinds Steppenwolf, who mercilessly hunts for the Mother Boxes, but we also get a deeper look into the sinister character of DeSaad and the world of Apokolips, and Jack Kirby fans will be pleased with what&#8217;s on offer. But it&#8217;s Ray Porter as intergalactic tyrant Darkseid who really steals the show and let it be known that Darkseid Is.</p>
<p><em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> also delivers heavily on the spectacle and action fans will be very pleased with the result. Snyder dials everything up, and the outcome is a bigger, meaner action push that is sure to give you a rush. Plus there&#8217;s also the helpful addition of a coveted R-rating, and this gives the film&#8217;s fight scenes some serious edge. Snyder doesn&#8217;t over-do his R-rating, and he&#8217;s certainly not aggressive with it, but like everything else present in this film, an R-rating is beneficial to Snyder in that it allows him to go into greater depth within this narrative and push it further. Snyder presents previous action scenes from the 2017 film in a completely brand new light and this again leads to a far more engaging and complete experience for audiences.</p>
<p>While I won&#8217;t go into any specific points on actual scenes from the film or dispel any serious plot points I will say one of my favourite parts of the film was a brand new &#8216;Knightmare&#8217; sequence. Following in the footsteps of the Knightmare sequence from <em>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice</em>, this Knightmare sequence features a meeting between two legendary characters, and it&#8217;s utterly epic. This scene, and in fact the whole film are a tribute to Zack Snyder&#8217;s immense creativity and desire to push the envelope with the possibilities of the narrative of <em>Justice League</em> and the result is a very exciting watch for long time DC Comics fans and for those who want to see these characters portrayed as the icons that they were created as.</p>
<p>But ultimately, <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> is a gift from a father to his daughter. It was during the production that Zack Snyder lost his adoptive daughter Autumn to the tragedy of suicide and it was a shocking event that rocked the production to its core and had an immense impact on Snyder&#8217;s family in the most devastating way possible. But through a strong sense of resilience, determination and love, Snyder was able to complete his vision for this epic film, and the final result is a way for the filmmaker to honour his daughter. It&#8217;s this ultimate act that makes this film so compelling and heroic and you can&#8217;t help but be moved by the director&#8217;s actions to honour his daughter this way.</p>
<p><em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> is a massive film of breathtaking scale and epicness and is the result of a filmmaker&#8217;s grand vision brought to life. It&#8217;s an utter masterwork, and fans will be extremely pleased by the final product and the experience of seeing these icons re-envisioned in all their heroic glory. It&#8217;s simply awesome.</p>
<p>Catch <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> on <a href="https://www.neontv.co.nz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEON</a> and SKY GO on Thursday 18 May.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re just over two weeks away from the release of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em>, an ambitious four-hour cut that is true to director Zack Snyder&#8217;s complete vision for this film and its characters. And now Snyder has taken audiences behind-the-scenes of the film in a special fan event.</p>
<p>As a part of IGN&#8217;s Fan Fest event, audiences got up close and personal with Snyder in a special Q&amp;A presentation where Snyder took audiences behind-the-scenes of the making of this film, and he gave us some fascinating insights into his process as a director.</p>
<p>Watch the full interview below:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="900" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8qBQvwXLoQk?start=5&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Discussing a range of topics from the official run time, which Snyder hinted was just over four hours, &#8220;four hours and a few minutes, including titles&#8221;, the creation of Superman&#8217;s Black Suit, the path of Bruce Wayne taking to find redemption, and just how Ray Fisher&#8217;s Cyborg is in the director&#8217;s eye the heart of the movie.</p>
<p>Fan questions streamed in from around the world, including a question from big-time <em>Justice League</em> fan and actor Henry Lennox, who portrays General Calvin Swanwick and who acquired about his possible position as fan favourite character Martian Manhunter.</p>
<p>To which Snyder replied, &#8220;in my mind, I think he&#8217;s been, Swanwick and Martian Manhunter, it&#8217;s like his alter ego. That&#8217;s kind of the way I see it. And the way he&#8217;s kind of if you notice the way he kind of, he&#8217;s manipulated both Lois and Clark to kind of do their best. Y&#8217;know to be the best they can be. Cause I think in this incarnation he wants humanity to kind of do it themselves with this new hero in Superman. And that&#8217;s kind of the way I think about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Snyder also gave a major insight into Academy Award winner Jared Leto&#8217;s return to the DCEU as The Joker, and discussed the inspiration behind his new look in the Snyder Cut.</p>
<p>&#8220;So what inspired the look was sort of the post-apocalyptic world that I&#8217;m a huge fan of, and really the idea what that as the movies progressed, the next movie if there ever was one, and it doesn&#8217;t;t seem like there ever will be, but if there was, it would primarily be set in that world with them trying to set it right. We played around a lot with a lot of different things, I did a bunch of drawings, we pulled a bunch of different costumes and tried a bunch of different looks, Jared had great ideas and we all kind of mashed that together and sort of settled on this cool version of Joker,&#8221; said Snyder.</p>
<p>One of my favourite parts of the interview had to be when Snyder discussed his plans for the multi-arc <em>Justice League</em> saga, which unfortunately fans never got to see, but he did discuss how he would have handled the additional two film&#8217;s.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, it was meant to be two more movies. [Justice League] doesn&#8217;t encompass any more of the additional movies other than little hints as you would at a potential other world. Y&#8217;know like when you, y&#8217;know like I plant the seeds I wanted to of what would come in the later films. So that&#8217;s in there, but as to those stories that would be yet to come if it happened, which is not like it would, It&#8217;s easy to speculate based on that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Snyder also commented about cliffhangers saying, &#8220;it is a cliffhanger. The movie ends in a massive cliffhanger. Yeah&#8221;, said Snyder grinning widely.</p>
<p>Discussing the presence of further environments and characters in <em>Justice League</em> including Joe Manganiello&#8217;s Deathstroke and the Knightmare sequence, Snyder elaborated saying, &#8220;well, Joe&#8217;s character in this movie when we find him, clearly he and Batman have struck some sort of a deal, y&#8217;know they have a bit of a partnership, there&#8217;s a bigger enemy I guess. That&#8217;s the big difference they&#8217;re not locked in mortal combat, they&#8217;re actually working together to try and figure out how to make this world work.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the Knightmare sequence, which the director confirmed was the setting for the entire second <em>Justice League</em> movie in his proposed trilogy, Snyder said &#8220;it&#8217;s relatively minimal, but I think it&#8217;s appropriate for the movie, it&#8217;s not anything crazy. But it um, it definitely y&#8217;know doesn&#8217;t overstay its welcome but definitely does what I needed it to do for the story and for us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fans can also expect to view the film in Snyder&#8217;s original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, of which the film was shot, and of which the director is a massive fan of when it comes to viewing media.</p>
<p>Alongside all the details we got from the director himself, fans were also lucky enough to enjoy a brand new piece of footage termed The Mother Box Origins, which presented a new look at our central six characters, and which is set to the strong vocals of Tom Waits <em>&#8216;Time&#8217;</em>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>One of 2021&#8217;s most anticipated releases is Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League, also affectionately known as the Snyder Cut, which will present a brand new, unseen side to 2017&#8217;s Justice League with Snyder re-cutting the film to reflect his personal vision of the story and its characters.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of 2021&#8217;s most anticipated releases is <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12361974/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em></a>, also affectionately known as the Snyder Cut, which will present a brand new, unseen side to 2017&#8217;s <a href="https://spicypulp.com/2017/11/16/justice-league-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Justice League</em></a> with Snyder re-cutting the film to reflect his personal vision of the story and its characters.</p>
<p>And the official trailer has now arrived. Check it out below:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="900" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vM-Bja2Gy04?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Here&#8217; the official synopsis:</p>
<p><em>Following the death of Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman and Wonder Woman recruit the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg to form the Justice League and protect the world from Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons, who seek the three Mother Boxes.</em></p>
<p>This new trailer is nothing short of epic and presents a completely new vision on behalf of Snyder. Not only do we finally get to get Henry Cavill&#8217;s Superman in the Black Suit, but we also get to see a newly designed Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds), alongside the appearance of Darkseid, and audiences also get their first look at a confrontation between Ben Affleck&#8217;s Batman and Jared Leto&#8217;s Joker in a hellish new landscape.</p>
<p>hile the basic framework of the story is the same, dozens of additional scenes, backstories, mythos, worldbuilding elements, new characters, and teases for upcoming films are present in Snyder&#8217;s version but not the theatrical release. This includes new scenes with characters including Iris West (Kiersey Clemons), the love interest to Barry Allen/The Flash, alongside Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello), who will be given new material to work with by Snyder.</p>
<p>This first glimpse of <em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> is incredible to behold, and Snyder has also confirmed that the film will be presented as a one-shot event movie, instead of the four-part series that was initially rumoured.</p>
<p><em>Zack Snyder&#8217;s Justice League</em> will arrive on HBO Max on March 18.</p>
