47-ronin

From ancient Japan’s most enduring tale, the epic 3D fantasy-adventure 47 Ronin is born. Keanu Reeves leads the cast as Kai, an outcast who joins Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), the leader of 47 outcast samurai. Together they seek vengeance upon the treacherous overlord who killed their master and banished their kind. To restore honor to their homeland, the warriors embark upon a quest that challenges them with a series of trials that would destroy ordinary warriors. 47 Ronin is helmed by visionary director Carl Erik Rinsch (The Gift). Inspired by styles as diverse as Miyazaki and Hokusai, Rinsch will bring to life the stunning landscapes and enormous battles that will display the timeless Ronin story to global audiences in a way that’s never been seen before – Rotten Tomatoes

Carl From The Walking Dead Is Stone Cold

Derek

This new cover image from an upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly shows a Carl Grimes that is so far removed from the annoying little snot who never did what he was told in Season One. Carl is now looking like a bonafide sociopath who is eager to pop a cap in the ass of any zombie (or human) who has the misfortune of shambling into his view and young Chandler Riggs has really mastered that dead-eyed stare. He’s also my favorite character on the whole show now.   Continue reading Carl From The Walking Dead Is Stone Cold
