“Keloid” Is Young, Black, And Super-Powered! Binge Season 1. Here. NOW! (Video)

Holy sheeeit! This “Keloid” series could very well cause Blerdgasms (Blerd = BLack nERD, and if you don’t know ‘gasms’ go Google or ask your parents or some sh!t) across the Interwebs! Have you peeped it out yet? A really compelling take on the coming of age, coming into one’s own, story of a youngster with abilities. Right in keeping with young hero sagas like Gotham already on Fox Television and The Gifted and Cloak & Dagger hitting the tube soon. And see, “Keloid” is already on YouTube, thanks to continued crowdfunding.

In episode 1, Keloid and his mom disagree about the emergence of his special abilities – telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation and the control of electricity. Meanwhile his girlfriend Aisha appears at his door unannounced. Is she right on time, or is it the worst time possible?

CRAZY! Check out Episode 1 above. More (like, the rest of the season!) after the jump, after the funding link below… where you can support if you like.

Action/Fantasy/Thriller: Natalie Portman Stars In “Annihilation” (Teaser Trailer)

The teaser doesn’t give much away about the story, but it might give you a case of the heebies and the jeebies (that ‘music’ though)! A little digging… so Natalie Portman’s character’s husband got into a spot of trouble in a spot that’s like a dark Narnia meets the Savage Land meets the Bermuda Triangle. Guess the rest of the story will come to us on or before 1st quarter 2018.

Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, “Annihilation” stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (“Ex Machina,” “28 Days Later”).

Watch The Hatchfund Campaign Video For “Yasuke: Birth Of A Samurai” (Trailer)

Dude. DUDE! It’s legend meets line-and-ink in this animated Black Samurai joint in development. Gotta make this happen! If Tom Cruise can be “The Last Samurai,” can we please get the first Black Samurai project greenlit & funded… please?

(Watch above and see how YOU can help, too.)

Lionsgate has put into development, a feature film based on Yasuke’s life, with “Highlander” creator Gregory Widen on board to script the project which they are currently calling “Black Samurai.” Described as an action drama, Mike De Luca and Stephen L’Heureux are producing, and the film is a co-production between Solipsist Films and De Luca Productions.
– Shadow and Act

Good feeling about this. Lionsgate Films AND the dude that brought the Kitana blade-swinging, head-decapitating ‘Duncan MacLeod Of The Clan MacLeod’ to life (Gregory Widen) are already attached. Dope!

In Advance Of “Blade Runer 2049,” Watch This Prequel Short ‘2048: Nowhere To Run’ (Trailer)

Yep, this “Blade Runner” reboot is pushing in all the chips. Star-studded cast, as we saw in the trailer we posted earlier (here). And Dave Bautista is featured prominently in this clip. Truth be told, folks probably barely remember him as a pro ‘rassler. Doing pretty well in action/sci-fi, don’t you think?

‘Hunger Games’ Director Francis Lawrence Directs Jennifer Lawrence Again, This Time Starring As The “Red Sparrow” (Trailer)

From playing shape-shifting infiltration specialist mutant Mystique to ‘Hunger Games’ insurrectionist, it’s like Jennifer Lawrence’s roles have been a demo reel for a blood pressure-raising spy thriller like this. Especially when it is being directed by the same guy that helmed the ‘Hunger Games’ blockbusters, Francis Lawrence. Check out the trailer for “Red Sparrow” above. Looks like it goes sultry to gritty faster than 0-to-100… real quick!

Dominika Egorova is many things.
A devoted daughter determined to protect her mother at all costs.
A prima ballerina whose ferocity has pushed her body and mind to the absolute limit.
A master of seductive and manipulative combat.

When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother are facing a bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons. After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust.

In Theaters March 2, 2018

Netflix Teases Marvel’s “The Punisher” Series (Coming Late 2017) [Trailer]

Not sure if you got your binge on with all “The Defenders” episodes yet, but apparently Netflix is not playing with y’all on the Marvel Universe front. Already dropped that new trailer for “The Punisher” – Marvel’s deadly antihero series set to release later this year. And for those who know, that sledgehammer wouldn’t just be for show).

According to ScreenRant, the episode titles will be 3 AM, Two Dead Men, Kandahar, Resupply, Gunner, The Judas Goat, Crosshairs, Cold Steel, Front Toward Enemy, Virtue of the Viscous, Danger Close, Home and Momento Mori.

Of course, these are TEASERS, so don’t expect all the red meat from what you see. Just enough to pique your interest… But recognize, some very bad people’s lives are gonna end very badly… on Netflix this year.

Comic-Con 2017 Debuted An Extended Official Trailer For “The Gifted” (Video)

Ought to categorize this under MMM, Mutants Making Money! We know Logan and X-Men movies do well at box office cash registers, but will mutants help Fox TV sell cereal and soap? Oh, you can count on it.

As an (intended, or not) counterweight to its DC-based pre-Batman “Gotham” series, the network is now set to give us another hero genre series, but from the Marvel side this time, “The Gifted.” We posted a trailer on here earlier, but this was the one folks saw at this year’s San Diego Comic Con… where sci-fi and fantasy shows always go bigger and better with the teasers.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (Trailer)

New “Kingsman” movie! Now, don’t get me wrong… I loved the first one, but I am kinda worried about the franchise with this one. They have already KILLED THE F*CK out of everybody in the last one (world leaders, including the U.S. President, all the baddest bad guys, and all but three Kingsmen and that’s if you include ‘Eggsy’).

But I am breathing a bit easy seeing that this trailer is teasing a sequel just as dope as its predecessor. Watch “The Golden Circle” trailer for yourself.

Watch The Full Comic-Con “Justice League” Sneak Peek Teaser (Trailer)

Oh snap! I just caught something around 1:30… before dude said “no Kryptonians”… he said “no LANTERNS!” Think they might try to make up for that Green Lantern goof-up a few flops back? Maybe.

Or maybe let The CW add it to their #DareToDefy line-up. The John Stewart kick-azz Marine Green Lantern (who dated Vixen, another #DareToDefy character on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow already, on the Justice League Unlimited cartoon series back in the day). And maybe that story ties into the new Black Lightning series arc. Just an awesome idea.

Okay, so above is the 4+ minute trailer folks saw at SDCC for the upcoming “Justice League” movie. Here’s to hoping that the best part of this thing ain’t the trailers… again.

Dave Bautista & Brittany Snow Are Trying To Make It Through Martial Law In ‘Bushwick’ (Trailer)

Martial Law in Brooklyn, New York. Sure, that’ll go down smoothly. Eff Sparta… This… Is… Bushwick! A lot of crazy with a promise built right into the trailer above that there is ‘no let up.’ So, we will see Dave Bautista do some more azz kicking outside the wrestling ring, on the big screen, sans any body paint.

(Well, does blood count?)

See The “Black Lightning” Series Join The Arrowverse And Learn ‘Where Heroes Are Born’ (Trailer)

Nice work done for San Diego Comic Con 2017 a while back. Sure they could have just delivered a trailer. By why not beef it up and give the people SO much more. Like an ‘Arrowverse’ lead-in (with all the DC TV heroes on The CW)… THEN hit ’em with the “Black Lightning” in there!

Season 4 Of ‘Gotham’ Premieres Thursday, September 28th, On FOX (Series Trailer)

I’m a Marvel head for the most part, but The CW network’s lineup of DC hero shows AND this FOX series “Gotham” have me looking at DC on TV regularly. Season 3 ended with the young Bruce Wayne character getting into his eventual Batman-like crime combatting business (by giving a couple of thugs the business on the season finale). Here’s the network teaser trailer for the upcoming season.

Looks dope!

‘Team Flash’ Is Trying To Hold Central City Down, But The World Needs Barry Allen Back (Season 4 Trailer)

DC is so wrong for making fans like me wait so long for “The Flash” to return, but this trailer is letting me know the wait is worthwhile. Still think TV Flash (Grant Gustin) should have been in that “Justice League” movie coming up. Ready-made following. Plus the TV show is dope.

Dah well. Gotta wait on them both now anyway. Enjoy the full trailer.

Hulk And Thor Are Fighting? Loki Is Teaming With Both Of Them? It Must Be “Ragnarok” (Video)

Careful Marvel. The Hulk is doing a LOT of talking in this trailer. That’s one of the several ways Ang Lee messed up in ‘that movie we Marvel fans don’t talk about’… and I’m REALLY trying hard to forget that Hulk movie. Keep it to two or three words at a time. Like ‘Hulk SMASH!’

That said, it looks good. The trailer I mean. A lot closer to a “Guardians Of The Galaxy” look and feel. Watch and get ready for November!

Marvel’s “The Defenders” Launches Globally On August 18, 2017 (Trailer)

Alright, so I am finally caught up on all my backlog of “Arrow” episodes (didn’t get into it until Season 3, shout to the homie SuperKing for recommending it). Thank you Netflix! Caught up on DC watching for now. But I have SOOOOO much Marvel binge watching – Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, AND Iron Fist – to do before Marvel’s The Defenders comes out. Netflix, no chill!

Blind ninja. Smart-ass detective. Bulletproof ex-con. Kung Fu billionaire. Marvel’s The Defenders centers on four outsider heroes that have to put aside their personal issues and come together when a villainous sect threatens to destroy New York City as we know it. The Netflix original series launches globally on August 18, 2017.

If Looks Could Kill… Oh Wait, They Do! “Proud Mary” Features Taraji P. Henson’s Killer Looks And Lots Of Bullets (Trailer)

Something about the way that “Proud Mary” song builds up. The energy. And this namesake movie trailer matched visual to auditory energy beautifully. Speaking of beautiful – one time for Taraji P. Henson (whew)! Her work in “Smoking Aces” should be enough of a resume to let folks know that she is gonna kill in this movie. Well… that… and all the guns in the trailer above.

Working for the man every night and day. #ProudMaryMovie in theaters January 12.

Get Ready Sonequa Martin-Green, Starring In The New ‘Star Trek’ Series This Fall (Series Trailer)


Watch the explosive trailer for the next chapter of the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek: Discovery premieres September 24th on CBS All Access.

I hope you haven’t sleeping on Sonequa Martin-Green, esp. when she was on Talking Dead, as a guest talking about her role on AMC’s The Walking Dead. She’d be dressed up and made up like WHOA! – in direct contrast to her necessarily understated look on TWD. Well, she is far from dusty on her new show Star Trek: Discovery, though they still play down her beauty (you see it though).

Her ‘death’ on TWD did not hit fans as hard as ‘losing’ other characters because they knew Sonequa would be okay joining an ‘enterprise’ like the Star Trek franchise (see what we did there?). This dope trailer is just more evidence supporting how great this next chapter in the Star Trek lore is gonna be!
