New Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer Debuts At CCXP Brazil

DC and Warner Bros. have a couple of comic book movies coming out in 2020. The first is Birds Of Prey arriving on February 2, and the second is the highly-anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 debuting on June 5. During Comic-Con Experience in Brazil over the weekend, we finally got some more info about the movie, some new images of characters like Maxwell Lord, and a trailer–which we knew had been coming for a while.

Aside from the new images that were revealed, the Wonder Woman panel featured Wonder Woman 1984 star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins who briefly discussed making the movie and using practical effects. Then, Gadot and Jenkins unleashed the new trailer upon the world.

Prior to the trailer, we knew Wonder Woman 1984 took place during the ’80s, like the title suggests, and somehow, Steve Trevor plays a major part in the movie. It’s crazy to actually see the character back in the movie, but what’s the twist. Outside of the casting, very little info had been released to the public prior to this trailer.

It’s obvious that Trevor had jumped through time or something along those lines, as he’s very confused about the trash can at the end of the trailer. Also, there were lots of shots inside a mall, and who doesn’t love a 1980s mall sequence?

The upcoming movie stars Gadot as Wonder Woman, Pedro Pascal as Max Lord, Chris Pine as Steven Trevor, and Kristen Wiig as Cheetah. Patty Jenkins will return to direct featuring a screenplay by Jenkins, Geoff Johns, and Dave Callaham.

Full-Size Commodore 64 Revival Coming Soon

Homebrew enthusiasts will be happy to know that a proper Commodore 64 is on its way. Unlike last year’s Commodore 64 mini, this updated version dubbed “THEC64” includes a full-size keyboard and an updated joystick controller, something we weren’t too fond of in its mini counterpart.

As reported by Polygon, Retro Games Ltd., the creators of THEC64, say the updated unit will begin shipping to Europe sometime this month. No word has been given on a US release as of this time.

Wonder Woman 1984 Images Revealed For Maxwell Lord, Cheetah, And More

It’s a big day for Wonder Woman 1984. The first trailer for the 2020 movie was revealed to the world, and it had a lot of Steve Trevor in it, who isn’t looking very dead. During Comic-Con Experience Brazil, four character posters were unveiled.

Director of the upcoming June 2020 movie Patty Jenkins helped kick off the event, but before we got to see the trailer, Jenkins gave us our first look at Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord. Check out all four of the images from CCXP below.

In addition to Pascal as Lord–who is almost unrecognizable–images for Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman–who has a new costume this time around–Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, and Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah were also debuted.

Jenkins explained during the panel that most of the effects in the movie are practical; however, some of the moments with Wiig’s character that needed a little bit of help. However, many of the stunts, locations, and more were practical effects.

Sadly, not much more was revealed about one of the villains in the movie, Lord. Gadot and Jenkins both tip-toed around questions about Pascal’s character during the event. But it’s apparent from the first trailer he’s a media personality who wants power and the means to get it–through some sort of magic crystal.

Caroll Spinney, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch actor, Dead at 85

Caroll Spinney, the longtime puppeteer and voice actor for Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, has died at the age of 85, according to a press release from the Sesame Workshop.

Spinney was a staple of Sesame Street from the show’s inception in 1969, where he inhabited the roles of the 8’2’’ Big Bird in a full-body costume and the curmudgeonly Oscar the Grouch for nearly half a century.

Spinney died at his home in Woodstock, Connecticut following complications from a history of dystonia, a common muscular condition which causes contractions.

Free Guy: Ryan Reynolds’ New NPC Adventure is Basically GTA: The Movie

In Free Guy, Ryan Reynolds stars as an unassuming NPC in a chaotic open-world video game who becomes self-aware and sees himself as a hero fit to thwart all the rampant crime — which sounds a lot like if you were to make GTA: The Movie.

Not only does the footage remind folks of other “break the system from within” flicks like The Matrix, Wreck-It Ralph, Tron, and even The LEGO Movie, but its virtual world seems to be heavily influenced by a mega game franchise – Grand Theft Auto. In fact, the film’s composer, Christophe Beck, told SYFY WIRE that the movie was a “cross between Grand Theft Auto and The Truman Show.” Watch the trailer again below if you haven’t seen it yet:
