TODAY on POPCORNX AUG31.2021



ABOVE: Yet another new poster - this time for IMAX - to add to the myriad of others, which includes individual character posters, leading up to the October 22nd-premiere of this Denis Villeneuve-directed feature film, adapted from the classic novel (again). And then there is THIS...



ABOVE: New poster for VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, this time featuring the "human" characters alongisde the Symbiotes. CLICK HERE for coverage on POPCORNX.



NON-PLAYERS ASSEMBLLLLLLLLE! "Free Guy" starring Ryan Reynolds now in theaters...



According to Wikipedia, "Free Guy" is scheduled to be released on digital on September 28, 2021 (45 days after its theatrical release), as well as on 4K, DVD, and Blu-ray on October 12, by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (two months after its theatrical release)... so until then, here's "Fantasy" featuring Jodie Comer;



From an "original-IP" (and by that I meant "Free Guy"), to jumping aboard the REMAKE-train continues with "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" feature film! ign.com reports this upcoming film (written and directed by Johannes Roberts) "is based on the first two Resident Evil games. The movie chronicles how Raccoon City went from being a city of industry to a dying Midwestern town that’s become ground zero for the t-Virus outbreak."



Above: New stills released featuring "Leon S. Kennedy" (played by Avan Jogia), "Claire Redfield" (Kaya Scodelario), "Jill Valentine" (Hannah John-Kamen), "Albert Wesker" (Tom Hopper from "The Umbrella Academy"), and more on ign.com... and Milla Jovovich's "Alice" is nowhere in sight, as this remake will be a focus on the GAMES, rather than any connection to the prior film franchise. I reckon "REBOOT" is the game, or mayhaps "REIMAGINING"? Too much labels lah... Will wait for the moving visual trailer to judge, cheers :p



ABOVE: A new poster for Episode 4 of Marvel Studios' What-If (animated series currently on Disney+) featuring the Sorcerer Supreme "Doctor Strange"! I'll certainly add to this OST+Poster post when said OST is released...!

And taking about "WHAT IF...?" ...





ABOVE: DUG the DOG (from Pixar's "UP") returns for a new animated series on Disney+ ... SQUIRREL! ... with "DUG DAYS" featuring a new collection of shorts of everyday events that occur in and around Dug’s backyard. Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Bob Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, the shorts premiere exclusively on Disney+ in Fall 2021.



Above features a fan-made 2-minuter video of "Ip Man" (played by Donnie Yen) from "Ip Man 4" but edited with him possessing super-powers!



ABOVE: Bruce Willis is "Doraemon" in the above (30 sec) TVC for "SoftBank" in Japan. Bills need to be paid... At least they are not making him wear a "helicopter-beanie", yeah?



THREEZERO does RAMBO FIRST BLOOD in 1/6th (above / Priced at US$199.00 per), along with their continued release of characters from THE WALKING DEAD with "Carol Peletier" and "Rick Grimes" (below) from Season 1 of the AMC Series - both priced at US$179.00 each. Purchase links in all embeds, cheers.





And while it is expected to have the character "Shang-Chi" (from Marvel Studios’ "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings") adapted into 1/6th-scale, featuring the likeness of actor Simu Liu (above), what is likely more excitable is the reveal of Shang-Chi’s father "Wenwu", featuring the likeness of Hong Kong actor Tony Leung. Let that sink in a little bit more ... Now we'll have a sculpt of Tony Leung to own! Time to check in with your retailer contacts...!
