That’s right. It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. Get excited. It’s a great day.
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new stuff including more about Game of Thrones, Netflix’s The Defenders, The Punisher, the new Star Trek, revenge as a motive and more. Plus, the usual even more.
No beer selections again this week because the boys are recording in the morning again. And drinking in the morning is, well, probably a bad idea. Probably. Anyway, if you do drink beer (or whatever), try to buy local. It helps and it’s just a nice thing to do.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of an item that everyone should have: a first aid kit. Joe’s pick this week is a challenge to all to donate to a relief organization like the American Red Cross or the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new and recurring topics. Some of these include the new Jurassic World trailer, Chris Pratt’s wardrobe, the new director of the Wonder Woman movie, the teaser for the trailer for the next Star Wars movie, more observations on AMC’s The Walking Dead, Christophe Waltz as Blofeld in the next James Bond movie and a whole lot more, more, more.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director Philip Kaufman’s classic film The Right Stuff, based on the book by Tom Wolfe, and Joe’s pick of the novel The Year of Dan Palace by Chris Jane.

As it happens with most successful action franchises, the main star eventually gets tired of making the films, or gets too old, and wants to move on to something else. A prime example of this is, of course, the James Bond series which has had several actors playing the titular hero.
Another example is the Bourne franchise which featured Matt Damon as the title hero Jason Bourne. He wasn’t interested in returning for another movie so producers turned to another actor, Jeremy Renner, to carry on the franchise. The result is the upcoming The Bourne Legacy, which Universal has just released a new trailer for.
In it we see Renner in action as a different member of the Treadstone team and we also get some new faces, including Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, as well as established franchise players like Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn.
Plus, surprise, Matt Damon is also in the trailer as Jason Bourne. Weird. I wonder what that could mean?
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The Bourne Legagy to arrive in theaters on August 3.

This week’s pick is the John McTiernan thriller The Hunt for Red October (1990). Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Sam Neill, and James Earl Jones star in this Cold War classic about a Soviet naval commander and a new invincible Soviet sub which threatens peace between the two super powers.
Set in early 1984 before Gorbachev came to power as the new Soviet premier, the new ballistic missile submarine Red October sets sail from port in the arctic and makes its way to the north Atlantic for a training exercise. Its captain, Marko Ramius (Connery) selects his officers and the crew for a daring mission that they believe will test the might of their old adversary, The United States navy.
The Red October is equipped with a new type of propulsion system, a caterpillar drive, which renders the sub virtually silent to sonar. This feature and its nuclear payload, represent a clear and present danger to U.S. policy in the north Atlantic at the height of Cold War tensions between both the U.S and Soviet Union.

While all of this Superman news has been surfacing for Zack Snyder, most should remember that between now and then, we’ve got a full world of cerebral kung fu and militant battle sequences to look forward to with Sucker Punch.
For those who don’t know, Snyder’s world of hot chicks with guns has a pretty intricate plot. Here’s a synopsis:
Set In The 1950’s into the vivid imagination of a young girl placed at a mental institution by her step-father some time after her mother died, with only her dreams providing the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.
Between the chick-heavy, star-studded cast, Inception-style plot, and tons of machine guns, dragons, and robots, this is setting up to be one of the most fan-friendly films in theaters for quite some time.
Take a look at the new trailer after the jump, and catch Sucker Punch in theaters on March 25th.

Like his movies or not, make no mistake, Zack Snyder is one of the most interesting directors working today. His trademark visual style and imaginative creations, honed with the release of 300, are remarkable in so many ways. Sure, his films don’t always make a ton of money (like in the case of Watchmen) but they do pack a visual punch and in most cases it is difficult to look away from the stunning images unfolding before your eyes.
Snyder’s new film Sucker Punch looks to further enhance his reputation as a visual virtuoso. Previously, we brought you some pictures of the main female cast of the film. Now, we’ve got the new trailer for Sucker Punch which promises to capture your imagination.
In the trailer there is so much going on I had to watch it several times to try and digest it all. I would try to describe it for you here but in truth it’s just better if you watch and digest it yourself. Then, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
Check out the new trailer after the jump. Sucker Punch opens in March of 2011.

“A Western like you’ve never seen before … An exciting new look at the Old West.”
Oh, taglines. I like when you do my work for me. You just described what Silverado isn’t!
I’ve had this one on my queue for quite awhile. I’ve anticipated it greatly. It was written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan, who is no slouch with pulp-oriented films like The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark to his credit. If there’s one thing Kasdan knows, it’s action adventure, right? Not when it came to Silverado, a film that misses the mark so often that I fail to see how it’s garnered 2-disc collector sets and such enthusiasm among Western fans.
I suppose it’s all due to Costner. Little baby Costner. This is the film that made him a star and a dreamy genre successor to John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. They seem to have costumed him with that very idea, because he’s wearing a variation on every famous Western and cowboy look ever filmed.
At one point, he even wears a serape. He’s a weird, goofy character — I can’t tell if he’s special or just supposed to be extremely young — and the highlight of the film is undoubtedly when he decides his horse needs to wear a hat. It just comes out of nowhere. Costner walks down the street, happy as a clam, and his horse is wearing a cowboy hat.

Seabiscuit just got some steeper competition. ‘Secretariat,’ currently in pre-production for a 2010 release from Walt Disney Pictures, has added three more actors to a cast that already boasts Diane Lane (Nights In Rodanthe). The Hollywood Reporter states that Dylan Walsh (Nip/Tuck), John Malkovich (Burn After Reading) and Scott Glenn (W.) have signed on to the film centering on the owner of the famous thoroughbred racehorse that captured the United States Triple Crown in 1973.
Malkovich will play the horse’s trainer Lucien Laurin. Glenn plays Ogden Phipps, the thoroughbred owner/breeder who famously lost the hall of fame racehorse in a coin toss while Walsh plays husband to Lane’s Penny Tweedy – also known as “the first lady of racing” – Secretariat’s owner.
While selling a film about horse racing might seem like a stretch, the aforementioned Seabiscuit managed to earn $120 million plus at the box office. By throwing in a more recognizable subject and a few of Hollywood’s more notable actors, this project should undoubtedly find its legs, thoroughbred-like or not. Still no word on who will play the title character, though.
