When Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) was attached to direct Marvel’s latest ANT-MAN my pulse was racing and my excitement for a comic book adaption could not be any higher, the craving to see this excitable talent thrown into the comic book arena was immense, but then disaster struck, after years of planning Wright left the project citing creative differences (in my Darth Vader voice “Noooooooooooo”) and was replaced by Peyton Reed the filmmaker behind Jim Carrey’sYes Man and 2000’s Kirsten Dunst cheer leading flick Bring it On – having spent the last few months doubting Marvel and doubting Peyton Reed’s ability to take the next step in what so far has been some what of an ordinary career behind the camera, a new poster and the first trailer has landed and you know what? – it’s actually very encouraging – Paul Rudd looks comfortable & every bit Scott Lang, Michael Douglas oozes the style & mystery of Dr. Hank Pym and it’s obvious from this first trailer that Peyton Reed’sANT-MAN will combine the action with serious doses of comedy as is the way with any script written by Anchorman’sAdam McKay – take a peak at the films poster, some stills and the film’s new trailer and enjoy….
“Armed with the amazing ability to shrink in scale but increase his strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world”

“In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “In the Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down”

“An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There’s Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland”
