TODAY on POPCORNX (July 23.2021 Edition)

Brand new movie poster for James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD feature film, since scheduled for a August 6th release. And if you had any doubts on whether the giant frickkin'Kaiju "Starro" we saw in the trailer would e anything like it's comicbook-incarnation, THIS essentially is the answer!

STARRO IN COMICBOOKS: "Starro (also known as Starro the Conqueror) is a fictional supervillain that appears in comic books published by DC Comics... Starro is an intelligent alien lifeform resembling a giant starfish with a central eye and prehensile extremities...Being able to asexually spawn, Starro created millions of miniature duplicate "spores" of itself, which attached to the faces of the entire population of New York and rendered them under its mental control." (Wiki)

"Everything" you need to know about "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" in 60 Seconds (courtesy of the stars of the series: Chris Wood, Tony Todd and Tiffany Smith), as the 5-episoder in "Part 1" is now streaming on Netflix! I just posted about a new poster & stop-motion clip too...



Witness the glory with the masters of mischief, in Marvel Studios' “Assembled: The Making of Loki” - now streaming on Disney+. If you've not yet watched this 6-episoder in Season One, don't hesitate...!

Meanwhile, Marvel concept artist Wesley Burt (@wesburt) shares THIS glorious painting of LOKI-variants...!

Loki was a truly wonderful project to work on, I have heaps of concept art of all sorts for it & hopefully will get to show more in the future, but for now, this Loki trio!

"Gunpowder Milkshake" is currently streaming on Netflix (While inSingapore it's in cinemas - no wonder it's not on local Netflix), and there are two promos for it, including the above "Chillin With Gillan" - where Karen Gillan hosts her very own talk show with special appearances from Lena Headey and Jack Black ... while featured below is Michelle Yeoh talking about her films; "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", "Reign of Assassins" and "Tomorrow Never Dies"...!





Featured above is the Official Trailer for "Disney's Jungle Cruise" - starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in a movie based off a ride in Disneyland (premieres July 30 on Disney+ and in cinemas), while seen below are the licensed ReAction figures from Super7!

All the teasers, trailers, stills & behind-the-scenes has since led "Kingdom: Ashin of the North" launched and streaming now on Netflix! I know what I'm watching this Friday night...!



Look, this might not be your typical "film" or television" project, in fact it is a outright "Kpop music video" (*Which I only recently recently posted on TUNESTALK, with screengrabs) ... but look at the visuals and cinematography for brother and sister duo AKMU's "전쟁터 (Hey Kid, Close Your Eyes)" with soloist Lee Sun-hee...!

This'll be the first blog-entry into what I'll call "TODAY ON POPCORNX", comprising a selection of cinematic and streaming entertainment news, instead off piece-meal singular blogposts (which will still happen, if the content are enough for a post). Thank You for looking :)

Cheers,
