Willem Dafoe has signed on to join Matt Damon in Legendary East's The Great Wall. Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal was in talks to join the cast in December, but The Hollywood Reporter's story does not mention that he is involved, so it's possible he dropped out. No details were given for Willem Dafoe's character, but he may be taking over the role that Bryan Cranston was once in talks for before departing the project.The story follows a soldier (Matt Damon) who is part of a group of mercenaries travelling to China on a mission to bring gunpowder back to Europe.

It was on the fifth or fifteenth major sequence of extraordinary outer space somethingorothers doing something extraordinary in Jupiter Ascending that I realized I no longer cared about visual effects as a category of achievement.

In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, the main characters use a magical book to give themselves superpowers: SpongeBob becomes The Invincibubble, Patrick becomes Super-Awesomeness, Squidward becomes Sour Note, Mr. Krabs becomes Sir Pinch-a-Lot and Plankton becomes Plank-Ton.
They could've looked a lot different if producers had chosen to go with Larry T. Quach's designs instead. Back in 2012, when he was working for Rhythm and Hues he designed them as The Avengers: SpongeBob SquarePants as Captain America, Patrick Star as The Hulk, Squidward Tentacles as Thor, Mr.

Good or bad, the films of the writing/directing sibling duo, The Wachowskis, have always struck a chord of interest. Even their less respected works either present noteworthy, sci-fi questions or deliver cool, sci-fi extravaganzas for the senses. Jupiter Ascending is their film most deserving of deep deconstruction. It’s a messy film, one that seems to have been sadly cut to shreds by post-production meddling. Its frantic structure and goofy accents keep it on the fringe of landing as highly as many of their previous works, perhaps all of them.
