The Incredibles 2 Has Been Announced!!

HALLELUJAH!!

Do I really need to say more?! The sequel Pixar fans have been waiting for since 2004 (ten freakin’ years ago!!) is now finally a reality! With no release date confirmed and unsure whether or not Brad Bird will return at the helm of directing, this movie has had numerous rumours and amounts of speculation surrounding it since the release of the original and I for one cannot wait.

Now some may argue that Pixar are starting to lose their golden touch that catapulted themselves to such a stellar reputation, with recent releases including the critically panned Cars 2 and the mildly-received Scottish fantasy Brave. But I remain optimistic because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, what Pixar are capable of doing. They’ve produced some of my all time favourite films, let alone favourite animated films. They have the potential to create quite possibly their most spectacular film in years; that is if we’re basing our opinions on the quality of the Oscar winning original.

Oh. And in other news, Cars 3 has also been announced. Woop de doo. This side news has (for good reason) been overshadowed by the aforementioned announcement, and has been widely ignored due to the fact that most of us don’t really care if we’re getting a third film after being bitterly disappointed after the second installment.

But before we indulge ourselves into the awesomeness of The Incredibles 2, we will have to sift through The Good Dinosaur (which was pushed from a 2014 spot to a 2015 release) and 2016’s Inside Out as well as the other much anticipated sequel Finding Dory.

So much to look forward to! I can hardly contain myself!!

 

R.I.P Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Yes, you’ve read that correctly.

Oscar winning actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who starred in films Capote, Boogie Nights and The Master, has passed away at the tragic age of 46.

It is suspected that he died from a heroin drug overdose after he was found in his New York apartment with a syringe in his arm. Hoffman had been struggling with a heroin addiction for many decades after revealing he checked himself into rehab last year. He had managed to remain clean for 23 years.

He leaves behind a fantastic legacy as well as his wife and three children, who are in my thoughts and prayers during this emotional time.

Rest in peace to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. You will be greatly missed by film fans all over the world.
