Watch: New Black Widow Promo Kicks Off The 100 Day Countdown

Get ready, True Believers, because Black Widow is officially hitting cinemas in exactly 100 days! We haven’t had an MCU movie since last July, and we’ve still got another few months to go yet, but this abnormally-long gap between Marvel films is shrinking, as the counter will be on double digits from tomorrow. And to celebrate, the studio has dropped this new short promo, promising that Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff is on her way.

The teaser features a small bunch of clips, all of which have been plucked from previous trailers. There’s Nat and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova escaping from pursuers on a motorcycle, David Harbour’s Red Guardian suiting up again and the heroine jumping out of a plane, but with an armed Taskmaster on her tail.

Despite being ScarJo’s eighth appearance in the MCU, this is the first movie to bear her character’s name. Obviously, Natasha met her end when she sacrificed herself on Vormir in Avengers: Endgame, but Black Widow will serve as a prequel – set prior to the events of Avengers: Infinity War, to be precise – following her as she gets caught up in an adventure that will dig up her past, put her back in contact with some old friends and bring her face to face with a new enemy.

Black Widow is the first of two MCU films reaching cinemas this year, with The Eternals – which is still shooting – arriving in November. Though we won’t have the typical third movie in 2020, we will have two TV shows dropping on Disney Plus in the later months of the year – The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision. Plus, there are four Marvel Studios flicks coming in 2021 to make up for it. Suffice it to say, there’s much to look forward to.

Robert Englund Was Responsible For Mark Hamill Being Cast In Star Wars

Robert Englund will, of course, always be remembered as Freddy Krueger. The blade-fingered villain of A Nightmare on Elm Street is a bona fide horror icon and there’s persistent talk that he’ll reprise the role one more time. But for a long while, there’s been a rumor that Englund’s career could have been very different.

Longtime Hollywood gossip says that he auditioned for Han Solo in Star Wars. But now, in an interview with Fantha Tracks, he’s set the record straight. First of all, he explains that everybody gets this story wrong. He did indeed meet with George Lucas during the casting for the 1977 classic, but he never specifically auditioned as Han.

In fact, he only met Lucas as he was in the building to audition for a role in Apocalypse Now. The two films were casting at the same time in the same location, so Englund popped into the Star Wars room to see if he’d be a good fit for any character in the film.

“I wasn’t right for anything,” said the actor. “They didn’t think I fit, but they took my photo. They took a Polaroid of me and they talked to me for five minutes. I later on discovered that Tom Selleck or somebody like Tom Selleck had turned them down for Han Solo. I’ve read all sorts of names including his in connection with Han Solo. My understanding is that in the very early drafts, he wasn’t even human. Solo was some sort of alien… I presumed, I say presumed, that they took my Polaroid for Han Solo. I didn’t read. I didn’t read any script. They just took my picture and talked to me for a few minutes.”

But despite not being in the movie, Englund would indeed go on to shape the entire course of the saga. While reading through the roles, he realized that Luke Skywalker sounded like a great fit for his roommate at the time, one Mark Hamill.

“I came home. Mark’s laying on the couch, watching TV, and I told him because Mark loved American Graffiti and George Lucas, too. I just told Mark about this new George Lucas movie – that’s all. Mark got on the phone and called his agent.”

And boom: history was made. Without Englund’s involvement, Hamill might never have gotten the memo about Star Wars, we’d have a completely different Luke Skywalker and the course of the following movies would probably have been quite different.

Here’s Englund summing it up:

“That’s the story. I was not up for Han Solo, and I wasn’t up for Luke Skywalker. I was in the office for five minutes over there, but I did come home and tell Mark about it, he called his agent, and the rest is history.”

If you’re hungry for more of the horror icon, you can check him out in True Terror with Robert Englund, beginning March 8th on the Travel Channel.

Bad Boys For Life Directors Offer Update On Beverly Hills Cop 4

I think it’s safe to say directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are having a great year so far. Who are they, you might ask? Well, they’re the hot new filmmakers behind Bad Boys for Life, the third installment in the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence buddy cop franchise, which is exceeding all expectations both financially and critically.

The action flick raked in more than $62 million over its four-day holiday weekend, which is far greater than analysts predicted. It’s also getting the best reviews of the series, scoring a 75 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Not bad for a franchise that’s been dormant for two decades, eh? A fourth entry is already in the works too.

But you’re only as good as your last film and El Arbi and Fallah are looking to ride that wave of success to their next project. The pair have been long rumored to be in the running to direct another ancient property, Beverly Hills Cop. Jerry Bruckheimer is a producer on both franchises and according to the directors, he wants them to keep their schedule open.

The duo spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the possibility of taking on another popular series recently, saying:

Fallah: I think Jerry [Bruckheimer] asked us to be available.

El Arbi: Jerry said it in a press conference in Germany, like, ‘Yeah, sure,’ So I’m like, okay!’”

Fallah: We ready, we ready.

El Arbi: Because it is our first Hollywood movie, we gotta wait until it comes out to know what the reaction is. And I think that Jerry’s waiting just for that, God willing, it becomes a success, and then he has momentum, and then it’s jump right at it. And we met Eddie Murphy twice and he seems to like us.

Fallah: We were doing the reshoots at Tyler Perry’s studio, and we were shooting Bad Boys, and Eddie was there shooting Coming 2 America.

El Arbi: So we said, ‘We gotta make this happen, we gotta make this moment happen.’ Will, Martin, Wesley Snipes was there too, and Eddie Murphy.

Fallah: We said, ‘Come on everybody, let’s take this fucking epic picture!’

El Arbi: We said, ‘This is gonna be a great social media moment, so let’s do that.’

Their enthusiasm is palpable. Recognized primarily for independent movies up to this point, you wouldn’t know Bad Boys for Life is their first big budget studio film. After all, they were able to maintain Michael Bay’s visual continuity from the first two efforts while also putting their own stamp on the trilogy.

And dare I say, they did a better job than Bay. Bad Boys for Life is the most mature, coherent and enjoyable entry in the series. There’s even a couple of interesting twists that you wouldn’t think to find in a movie from this particular franchise. Could they bring that same balance of youthful energy and nostalgia to Beverly Hills Cop? Tonally, it’s right on par with Bad Boys, so why not? It’s just a matter of convincing Eddie Murphy. This would be the time to do it, though.

After laying low for a number of years, the actor’s had a nice little comeback with Dolemite is My Name earning high praise and a terrific return to Saturday Night Live. All the pieces seem to be lining up nicely, then, and as soon as we hear more about the much-anticipated sequel, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Google designed an envelope you can use to hide your phone from yourself

Image: Google

Today, Google launched three new experimental apps to help you use your phone less as part of its Digital Wellbeing initiative, including one that actually has you seal up your phone in a phone-sized paper envelope (via Android Police). It sounds similar to the pouches some artists require fans to put their phones into at concerts, except it’s something you make at home — and Google’s envelope should at least let you make a call, if you need to.

If you want to try Google’s envelope technique out for yourself, it only works with a Pixel 3A right now — and we can’t think of a reason that’s the case. If you do have a Pixel 3A, though, download the required Play Store app for the envelope, called Envelope, then print out the PDF for the...
