Warner Bros. Working On ‘Birds Of Prey’, Not ‘Gotham City Sirens’ For Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn

Media Release

From DC Comics News: Unfortunately, Gotham City Sirens is officially not going to happen. I really did want this movie to happen but there seems to be something else on the horizon. Last month Margot Robbie said that she was working on a new movie featuring Harley Quinn and her girlfriends that wasn’t Gotham City Sirens. Apparently, Warner Bros. is working on three movies that feature Harley Quinn, the most obvious being Suicide Squad 2, which I’m not sure how it will work considering The Joker broke her out. Anyways…

The Future Of DC Movies

Walt

Justice League is history and according to experts will finish less than 300 million gross domestically and less than 700 million worldwide. Not good for a movie with heavy reshoots that probably put their budget over 350 million with marketing costs of well over 200 million. The 400 million plus overseas country by country will not return 400 million but far less than that, so you have to say The WB lost money on the theatrical version of the movie. Yes, we still have DVD and Blu-ray release and that…

Walt

The Disney mega-deal for 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets has happened. This includes all the Marvel properties the comic company gave up to Fox to stave off bankruptcy including the Fantastic Four and X-Men characters in the cinematic universe in the 1990s. Disney’s 4 billion dollar deal to buy Marvel in 2009 has paid many dividends by forging the highest-grossing film franchise of all time with over $13 billion. They hope that the Fox deal will have the same effect on their bottom line and make them an even bigger…

New Movie Poster for Tomb Raider Featuring Alicia Vikander

Walt

I see the beautiful brown eyes of Alicia Vikander in the new posters released for the new Tomb Raider and I hope this movie is a suprise and a sleeper hit. Video game movies have not done too well in the past but there is always the exception to past trends which means I may be buying a ticket to see this movie. In the age of a successful leading woman movie Wonder Woman, it is worth a shot. Watch the latest trailer below as well! Tomb Raider has a…
