Check Out a Behind The Scenes Look at the Epic MOUSE GUARD Movie We'll Never Get to See[teaser]Test footage from the now canceled film has been revealed.[/teaser] Though Disney's recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox might have some cool implications for Marvel fans, the merger has also resulted in its fair share of unfortunate creative casualties. Case in point: Director Wes Ball's now canceled CG motion capture adaptation of the Mouse Guard comic book series. While the film was in development at 20th Century Fox with stars like Andy Serkis and Idris Elba attached, following the Disney buyout, the movie was abruptly canceled just two weeks before it was scheduled to start production. An exact reason for the cancellation has not been given, but reports indicate that the movie's budget or similarities to other Disney projects in the works may have been the culprit. And though the filmmakers were free to shop the title around to other studios, Ball recently revealed via Twitter that the project is now officially dead. Check out the tweet below which includes a quick tour of the film's production offices. Yes sadly, its true. Our #mouseguard movie is dead. Seems it's too big a risk. It’s a damn shame really. We had something special. To my hella talented cast/crew: I’m sorry I couldn’t push this one through. The past year with you all has been a blast. May the Guard prevail! pic.twitter.com/MGRq54uI6O — Wes Ball (@wesball) June 26, 2019 In the wake of the movie's cancellation, however, fans of the property have been left with at least one small consolation in the form of an early proof of concept demo. Meant to act as a previz test to experiment with the film's potential visuals, the footage was all rendered in realtime using Epic's UNREAL engine. With that said, the demo was only designed to serve as a testing ground for the film's look and was never meant to represent the final style. Instead, the talented folks at WETA were slated to handle the actual CG work, which would have aimed for a photorealistic appearance. Sadly, we won't ever get a chance to see what the team could have accomplished. Check out the video below for a bittersweet glimpse at what could have been... The Mouse Guard comic book series is written and illustrated by David Petersen. The comic is published by Archaia Studios Press on a bi-monthly basis. Here's a synopsis of the first collected edition via Amazon: In the world of Mouse Guard, mice struggle to live safely and prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live. Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, three such Guardsmice, are dispatched to find a missing merchant mouse that never arrived at his destination. Their search for the missing mouse reveals much more than they expect, as they stumble across a traitor in the Guard’s own ranks.

Elizabeth Banks Assembles a New Team in First CHARLIE'S ANGELS Trailer[teaser]A new big-screen version of the series will hit theaters in November.[/teaser] Sony has released the first trailer for Charlie's Angels. This new take on the franchise is directed by Elizabeth Banks, and is set to premiere on November 15, 2019. In Banks’ bold vision, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska are working for the mysterious Charles Townsend, whose security and investigative agency has expanded internationally. With the world’s smartest, bravest, and most highly trained women all over the globe, there are now teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys taking on the toughest jobs everywhere. The screenplay is by Elizabeth Banks from a story by Evan Spiliotopoulos and David Auburn. Check out the trailer below! In addition to Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska, the movie also stars Noah Centineo, Sam Claflin, Djimon Hounsou, Elizabeth Banks, and Patrick Stewart. Meanwhile, Banks also serves as a producer, along with Max Handelman, Elizabeth Cantillon, and Doug Belgrad. Charlie's Angels is based on the television series of the same name created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, and produced by Aaron Spelling. The original show ran from 1976-1981 and starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, Tanya Roberts, and David Doyle. A previous big-screen adaptation starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Bill Murray was released in 2000, and was followed by a sequel in 2003. Likewise, a rebooted TV series starring Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor, and Ramón Rodríguez ran briefly in 2011 before being canceled. Though initially expected to be a complete reboot, reports now indicate this new film will feature connections to the original show and previous films.
