Yes, 'Supergirl' is a bit similar to 'Guardians of the Galaxy', but don't tell its director: he has already noticed

In today’s entertainment world, nothing is virtually impossible, but it does seem that we will never see (unless it’s with the “imagination” of a bored 19-year-old at home tinkering with AI) Supergirl hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, after watching the first trailers, the audience has inevitably started to compare. Whether it’s the same tone, whether it’s the same jokes, whether it’s James Gunn… And in the end, the director himself had to step in to restore order. Super tired Craig Gillespie, who […]

In today’s entertainment world, nothing is virtually impossible, but it does seem that we will never see (unless it’s with the “imagination” of a bored 19-year-old at home tinkering with AI) Supergirl hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, after watching the first trailers, the audience has inevitably started to compare. Whether it’s the same tone, the same jokes, or James Gunn… And in the end, the director himself had to step in to set things straight.

Superfatigue

Craig Gillespie, known for I, Tonya or Cruella, has stated that he has no choice but to accept it: “I don’t think I can avoid it. We’re on the same stage, but I’ve always played on it. There aren’t that many space movies, and we’re in the superhero universe, with that mix of humor, darkness, and drama that I love“. Translated another way: well, okay, it looks a little bit similar.

However, he has stated that the resemblance is more or less logical, given that his boss is none other than Gunn: “It was great to have more of a director than an executive. You can roll up your sleeves and have a healthy debate. We talked about the smallest things, like the musical choices, that kind of back and forth.

Will Supergirl be a success or a tremendous failure? Is there real interest from the public in getting to know Superman’s cousin, or, on the contrary, did Gunn’s luck begin and end with his first movie? We will find out on June 26.

The post-apocalyptic adventure of Dave Bautista arrives with a star-studded cast

Dave Bautista, known for his roles in franchises like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Dune’, adds a new film project to his career titled ‘Afterburn’. This movie, based on a comic by Scott Chitwood and Paul Ens, has been in development for 15 years, finally culminating in a proposal directed by J. J. Perry, who previously worked with Bautista on the failed ‘The Killer’s Game’. Is this the big leap Bautista needs? ‘Afterburn’, which has a budget of 56 million dollars, is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where a social eruption has devastated most of the […]

Dave Bautista, known for his roles in franchises like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Dune’, adds a new film project to his career titled ‘Afterburn’. This movie, based on a comic by Scott Chitwood and Paul Ens, has been in development for 15 years, finally culminating in a proposal directed by J. J. Perry, who previously worked with Bautista on the failed ‘The Killer’s Game’.

The big leap Bautista needs?

‘Afterburn’, which has a budget of 56 million dollars, is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where a social eruption has devastated most of the technology. In this context, the protagonist Jake, played by Bautista, becomes a treasure hunter, tasked with recovering the iconic Mona Lisa for a powerful figure.

The film features a notable cast that includes Olga Kurylenko, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kristofer Hivju, whom fans will remember as Tormund from ‘Game of Thrones’. Despite the strong presence of recognized actors, Bautista’s career in Hollywood has been peculiar, alternating between high-profile productions and less successful titles that seem more aligned with the catalog of video rental stores.

The production of ‘Afterburn’ has not been without setbacks; it has changed directors and screenwriters over the years before solidifying into its current form. Although a release date has not yet been announced, box office success is crucial given its high budget, as a poor reception could mean another significant failure in Bautista’s career.

The soundtrack of the film has been composed by the renowned Spanish musician Roque Baños, adding an additional layer to the anticipation surrounding this project. With such a prolonged development, expectations are high, and it will be interesting to see if ‘Afterburn’ manages to attract the audience that has been elusive to the actor’s recent collaborations.
