Last night Warner Bros. released their newest trailer from Shane Black’s The Nice Guys. The movie is being described as a black comedy with action set in 1970’s Los Angeles. The film about a down-on-his-luck private eye played by Ryan Gosling must team up with a hit-man played by Russell Crowe to solve the case of a missing girl and an unrelated death of a porn star.
With Star Wars firmly launched to great success over at Disney, they are next turning their attention to Indiana Jones, with another movie release date set for July of 2019. Harrison Ford will reprise his role as the famous Archeologist and is excited to do so. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, in reference to Indiana Jones 5, Ford said he’ll be ready and is excited for the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg again on his character.
Warner Bros. has announced that Ben Affleck’s long-awaited directorial follow-up to Argo, Live by Night, has been given the Oscar friendly release date of October 20, 2017.
Affleck writes, produces, directs and stars in the Dennis Lehane adaptation, which follows the son of a Boston police captain in the 1920s as he makes the rise from bootlegger to notorious gangster.

The movie opened this past weekend to its lowest total yet in the series, with $29.1 million dollars, down 44% from the previous Insurgent’s $52 million opening. Age of Adaline director Lee Toland Krieger takes over Ascendant with a release set for June 9th, 2017.
When news broke that Suicide Squad director David Ayer was attached to direct Will Smith and Joel Edgerton in a supernatural cop flick called Bright, which was at the center of a bidding war among studios, many assumed he would agree to stay at Warner Bros.
