The CW 2017 Fall TV Trailers: Valor Life Sentence Dynasty
With the film recently arriving on DVD, I had the chance to talk to co-director Scott Waugh and star Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver about the release, the critical reaction to the film, and the rumors that Waugh would be directing the upcoming video game adaptation, **Need for Speed
Julia Roberts’ turn in **Mirror Mirror ** failed to find much of an audience, scoring a mediocre $19 million. The $85 million fairy tale’s launch was a far cry from the $116 million that Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland had in 2010 and Mirror Mirror ’s debut was also below the $32 million that Immortals banked on its debut. That was the last feature from visualist director Tarsem, but Mirror Mirror ( read our review ) has the potential to have legs – if mothers and daughters decide to show up in the coming we
They also spoke out about the criticism that the movie received as a recruiting tool for the military. Denver said that he " wouldn’t really put a lot of stock in " such critiques, adding that if young men and women see the movie and decide to sign up to be members of the military, " the country, I think, would be better for it ." Waugh was more direct in his thoughts, adding that, " if you think sacrifice is a recruitment video, then obviously [you] completely misconceive about what that word mean
Some users have gone on forums such as Reddit to criticize the game, calling the art style far too minimalist and impersonal. Others criticize the nature of the game itself, calling it an amalgam of two styles that simply don’t go hand-in-hand and saying that the CS:GO style of gameplay doesn’t fit with game-changing abilities which could create an unfair environment and unequal playing field. While Counter-Strike involves fast reflexes , Overwatch has a slower time-to-kill ratio and is oriented around character abilities and their impact on the battlefield. Some of the users on Twitter have even complained that Viper's abilities appear too powerful, especially considering how enemies inside of her toxic could become easier for her to
In terms of the DVD and Blu-ray that arrived in stores nationwide last week, Waugh noted that they are packed with extras including deleted scenes, a director's commentary and the interviews that were conducted with the SEALs before the film went into production. Waugh noted that audiences will " get to really learn intimately about each of the operators on these interviews ," and added that " the Blu-Ray is so packed that we had to leave some things of
As far as story beats and character development goes: Act of Valor , so far, seems pretty standard. Because of the nature of its narrative, there's a risk the film could feel very video game-like, with serviceable (if unremarkable) dramatic exchanges and character beats largely serving as the glue that connects each new mission undertaken by the Bandito Platoon. That won't be a problem for moviegoers who are just looking for a more accurate, but still stylized portrayal of military ops onscreen; however, those who are hoping for a richer exploration of the average Navy SEAL's mindset may walk away disappoin
When the film **Act of Valor ** arrived in theaters earlier this year it became a surprise hit, opening at number #1 at the box office. The film went on to earn over $70 million domestically (on a $12 million budget) and brought recognition to both the real life Navy SEALs who starred in the picture and co-directors Scott Waugh and Mike Mc
Rise of the Rakghouls , the first major game update for Star Wars: The Old Republic , released today. Mere hours after the update went live, players discovered an exploit in Ilum that allows Valor to be gained at a massively accelerated r
Director Lasse Hallstrom’s **Salmon Fishing In Yemen ** cracked the top ten, despite playing in less than 500 locations. Ewan McGregor stars in the film which grossed $1.2 million over the weekend, taking its gross to $3.1 million, a number which should swell in the coming we
As mentioned before, most of the Act of Valor cast members are actual SEALs. However, there are a few familiar faces (and voices) in the crowd, including Roselyn Sanchez ( Rush Hour 2 ), Emilio Rivera ( Sons of Anarchy ), Nestor Serrano ( 24 ) and Call of Duty video game series voice actor Alex Vea
On the official Valorant skins|Https://valorantfocus.com/ Twitter page, a teaser for the soon-to-be playable character Viper was recently posted. Viper seems to use poisons and toxins as a way to shroud herself from enemies, and the integrity of her poison gas field drops when she isn't inside of it. Over the course of the last two weeks, Valorant has uploaded other teasers as well. One was for Phoenix, a fire-slinging character, while others were clips of gameplay and even previews of certain maps. This clip, showcasing the end of a round, was longer than the one posted for Phoenix and is embedded be
I couldn’t find a better brand than Need for Speed . I mean it's a huge franchise and to direct under the leadership of Steven Spielberg is just- to me- probably one of the coolest things that could ever happen in my career. I'm just really excited to bring my filmmaking style and authenticity to that kind of ge
