Tom Cruise announces Mission: Impossible 6 title

Fans of Tom Cruise can rejoice that the MI star has joined Instagram and used his first posts on it to unveil the official title of Mission: Impossible 6.

“Get ready,” the actor said alongside a photo of an on-set slate board that included a logo for Mission: Impossible — Fallout. The action-packed sequel is set to arrive in theatres on July 27.

Cruise also posted a second photo of himself performing a stunt from the movie, which involved the 55-year-old hanging off the side of a helicopter.

“We’ve upped the ante for the sixth #MissionImpossible. I can’t wait for you guys to see more,” he said.


Teen Titans GO! to the Movies

The Teen Titans dress up as Wonder Woman and make fun of Aquaman in the first trailer for Teen Titans GO! to the Movies.

The clip gives fans their first look at the film, which is based on the Cartoon Network animated series of the same name that follows a group of young superheroes, including Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven and their whacky adventures.

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is set to release on August 3, 2018. “It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick,” reads the synopsis.

“If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!”


Sword In The Stone to have a remake

Disney has so many remakes planned that a few of them have become lost in the shuffle. Disney’s announced that Sword in the Stone would receive a live-action remake, and the project may be very close to locking in a director, specifically Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

Disney’s original Sword in the Stone was released in 1963 and followed Arthur as a boy who becomes a pupil to Merlin and is taken on unusual adventures thanks to Merlin’s magic.

Disney’s current live-action remake slate consists of the Winnie the Pooh movie, set for later this year, with Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King all set for 2019.
