Top Films For 2019: Part One.
Written by Adam Roberts.
Hellboy Reboot.
This upcoming reboot was originally meant to follow Hellboy II: The Golden Army, but as that turned out to be a flop in the box-office, they decided to ditch the whole thing all together. In this film, Hellboy comes against a medieval sorceress known as Nimue the Blood Queen, who seeks out to destroy all of mankind. Superseding the cast for this upcoming reboot will be David Harbour as Hellboy, alongside Ian McShane as Trevor Bruttenholm, Hellboy’s adoptive father, Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan who displays magical abilities, Brian Gleeson as Merlin the Wizard and Milla Jovovich as Nimue the Blood Queen.
Hellboy is set to be released on January the 11th, 2019.
Glass.
First, M. Night Shyamalan gave us Unbreakable. Then he gave us Slit. Now he wraps things up with Glass, the third instalment of this epic trilogy. Don’t ask me how but it all leads up to all three of them ending up together in a psychiatric ward and if I’m right, this should truly end up being one hell of a finale. Here they come back to reprise the roles of David Dunn (Bruce Willis), Kevin Wendell Crumb/The Horde (James McAvoy) and Elijah Price/Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson).
As Elijah stated in Unbreakable, the worst kind of villain is the one with the brains, the one who uses his mind. I wonder what plan Mr. Glass has installed this time!
Glass is set to be released on January the 18th, 2019.
