FILM & TV: FACE/OFF & MORE:

If you can recall, the reboot to Face/Off, John Woo‘s 1997 blockbuster action flick, was first announced two years ago with little information, but new details of the project have now surfaced.

The reboot has found itself a director: Adam Wingard, the same person responsible for the much-anticiapted Godzilla vs. Kong. On top of directing the film, Wingard, alongside Simon Barrett, will be writing the script. The movie is being described as a “re-imagining” of the original movie but is also being treated as a sequel. Paramount Pictures will be producing the movie again but the original stars, Nicholas Cage and John Travolta, are likely to not return, according to sources.NBCUniversal‘s Brooklyn Nine-Nine is coming to an end with its upcoming eight season.

The sad news was announced by executive producer Dan Goor in a lengthy statement, where he expressed his gratitude to the network, the cast, crew and fans. “I’m so thankful to NBC and Universal Television for allowing us to give these characters and our fans the ending they deserve,” he wrote. “When Mike Schur and I first pitched the pilot episode to Andy, he said, ‘I’m in, but I think the only way to tell this story is over exactly 153 episodes,’ which was crazy because that was exactly the number Mike and I had envisioned. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for eight seasons. They are not only among the most talented people in the business, they are all good human beings who have become a family. But most of all, I feel lucky that we have had the best fans in the world. Fans who literally saved us from cancellation. Fans who fill us with joy. Ending the show was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honor the characters, the story and our viewers. I know some people will be disappointed it’s ending so soon, but honestly, I’m grateful it lasted this long. Title of my sex tape.”

The comedy cop show’s final season will consist of 10 episodes and will see Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Lo Truglio, Dirk Blocker and Joel McKinnon Miller reprise their roles one last time as the core group of the NYPD’s fictional 99th precinct.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered on FOX in 2013 but was infamously cancelled after its fifth season in 2018. Much to the relief of viewers, NBC picked it up the day after its cancellation. The series managed to tackle sensitive topics such as sexuality, racism and sexual assault, but received backlash for not focusing on police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Goor ended up scrapping four new episodes after Floyd’s death and the cast and crew donated $100,000 USD to the National Bail Fund Network in June 2020. They also previously confirmed that the final season will address the issues.

Stay tuned for a season eight trailer and release date.

The latest Godzilla vs. Kong trailer features new footage of the epic smackdown between Legendary Pictures‘ two titans.

Audiences see geologist Nathan Lind reintroduced at the beginning of the clip, enlisting Kong to save the world from the atomic lizard, Godzilla. The fight shifts to the Hong Kong cityscape, where both behemoths fight it out between the towering skyscrapers for the tile of King of the Kaiju.

Though the latest trailer presents a streamlined version of the initial debut trailer, fans are treated to snippets of additional footage. Audiences see a different side to the legendary battle, as Kong struggles to hold on after Godzilla capsizes the boat in the first attack. Kong is also seen with the young girl, who is able to use sign language to communicate to Kong, begging him to be careful.

The original trailer set new records for Warner Bros., amassing over 25.6 million viewers across all platforms. Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard and written by Max Borenstein and Eric Pearson. The film stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall and Brian Tyree Henry.
