Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan Join Political Drama ‘The Last Full Measure’

Samuel L. Jackson and Sebastian Stan have joined political drama “The Last Full Measure,” which begins shooting in Atlanta and Costa Rica later this month.

Todd Robinson is directing from his own script. Stan is in the lead role and the rest of the cast includes Christopher Plummer, William Hurt, Bradley Whitford, Michael Imperioli, and Linus Roache.

Stan portrays a Pentagon investigator who reluctantly teams with veterans of the 1966 Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger, who is seen saving the lives of over 60 Marines ambushed in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War.  As the battle waged on, and after the last helicopter left, he continued to save lives until his own was sacrificed.

Producers are Timothy Scott Bogart, Mark Damon, Lauren Selig, Julian Adams, Nicholas Cafritz, Robert Reed Peterson, and Shaun Sanghani. Tamara Birkemoe, Jenna Sanz-Agero, Louis Steyn, T.J. Steynand Sidney Sherman are executive producing. Pen Densham and John Watson are co-executive producers.

Foresight Unlimited is handling international sales and producing in association with Provocator and SSS Entertainment. Foresight Unlimited’s Damon said: “When I read Todd Robinson’s exceptionally moving script and heard the real-life interviews of the many men whom William Pitsenbarger saved, I felt this could be a great film. With the award-winning cast that has been assembled, I am now sure of it.”

Jackson can next be seen in Legendary Entertainment’s “Kong: Skull Island,” which Warner Bros. is releasing on March 10. Stan is currently in production on “Avengers: Infinity War” for Marvel Studios/Disney and “I, Tonya” starring Margot Robbie.

Plummer can next be seen in “The Exception” for A24. Whitford stars in “Get Out” and is in post on “Three Christs,” starring Richard Gere, and “Unicorn Store.” Imperioli most recently starred in “Lucifer” and Roache appeared in “Vikings.”

Stan is represented by ICM Partners and Brookside Artist Management. Jackson is represented by ICM Partners and Anonymous Content.

Plummer is repped by ICM Partners and Lou Pitt at the Pitt Group. Hurt is represented by ICM Partners, Whitford by ICM Partners and Greenlight Management and Production, Imperioli by ICM Partners and TMT Entertainment Group, and Roache by ICM Partners, Artists Independent Management, and Tavistock Wood Management.

Thor: Ragnarok: Meet Cate Blanchett's Hela, the franchise's first female villain

For more on Thor: Ragnarok, stay tuned to EW.com this week and pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday, or buy it here now – and don’t forget to subscribe for more exclusive photos and interviews.

Cate Blanchett doesn’t really feel like she needs to explain her character Hela in Thor: Ragnarok — she’s the Goddess of Death. Quips the actress, “I think that’s where you put the period in the sentence, right? She arrives with a lot of baggage. She’s a little bit cross.”

Hela is more than “a little bit cross” as she is freed from her prison early in Ragnarok and causes all sorts of chaos befitting her name. “She’s been locked away for millennia, getting more and more cross, and then, with a mistake, she get unleashed and she ain’t getting back in that box,” says Blanchett.

Hela may be a monster, but Blanchett is a delight and clearly had a blast tapping into her dark side. EW talked to the two time Oscar-winner about playing Thor’s first female villain and making weapons out of her body.


ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What made you want to be part of this?
CATE BLANCHETT: Well let’s face it: as a woman, these opportunities have not in the past come up very frequently and I think there’s a revolution happening from within Marvel. I’ve seen so many of the Marvel franchises, particularly being the mother of four. They tend to be the only type of film particularly having young boys. But for me as an actor, this is separate is my desire to work with [director] Taika Waititi.


How did he sell you on this?
Well I had seen his vampire movie [What We Do in the Shadows] and Hunt for the Wilderpeople. I was trying to get my head around the collision of his sensibility as a director and what had previously existed in the Thor franchise and I thought that’s going to be interesting to say the least and I thought it could produce an interesting combustible connection because tonally his work is so different from what previously existed. Obviously they wanted to do something fresh and different, which is always exciting.

What was it like working with Taika? What does he bring to this?
He’s sort of part sumo wrestler, part showgirl, part father you always wanted to have. He’s so nimble. I keep saying the word irreverent. He takes the work seriously but he doesn’t take himself seriously. So there’s music on set the whole time. There was hilarity but he knew every single time when to focus.


You’re Thor’s first female villain. Was that part of the appeal?
Can you believe it? Can you believe we’re having this conversation and it’s 2017 and we’re talking about the first female villain? It’s ridiculous. There’s so much untapped potential villainy in women. It’s really exciting. I think finally it’s beginning to be acknowledged that women and men want to see a diverse array of characters, and that’s race, gender across the sexual spectrum.


Did you go back and read the comics and look at old versions of Hela?
Oh yes. I mean, you gotta know the history of the character. And there are so many iterations of the origin story. For any of these characters, there’s never one origin story. But yes, it was really interesting to go back. Most of the time she was masked. So that’s what I really talked to the Marvel team and Taika about was when we would chose to have her masked and when she wouldn’t be masked.


And that headdress is more than just an accessory right?
Yeah. She’s able to manifest weapons. Her headdress can be weapons. She can manifest weapons out of different parts of her body. I won’t tell you which — I’ll leave that hanging.


Hela comes in and sort of takes control of Asgard away from Loki, right?
Well, Asgard is so good. I mean one only need to have a mildly unpleasant thought and you’re considered evil. Everyone is too perfect. Why not mess it all up? It’s easy to play bad but, like when I was in Cinderella, like what makes the stepmother evil is interesting. So, it was trying to in the screen time I had to tease that stuff and to give her a journey really. So hopefully we’re given her a journey, like how you understand why Loki is as screwed up as he is. Hopefully, there’s that satisfaction in watching Hela.


Do you have fight scenes?
There’s a bit of wire work. I worked with the legend Zoe Bell (Grindhouse). I did as much as was humanly possible for a middle-aged mother of four [laughs]. I learned so much. All sorts of capoeira stuff. All the stunts and the fights were really interestingly choreographed. But I did train, ostensibly, so I wouldn’t injure myself.

Thor: Ragnarok Footage Shown By Disney Teases Mjolnir's Fate

Apparently it doesn’t take much to get a sneak peak at some Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel’s most anticipated film offerings of the year, except for a lot of money invested in the entertainment giant.

With news of the various clips and sizzle reels from the latest Disney shareholders meeting trickling out, the company treated investors to clips of many of their forthcoming movies, including Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.


But they also revealed some of the first footage for the third film in Marvel’s Thor franchise, Thor: Ragnarok, which is currently ranked the 6th Most Anticipated Film based on votes from ComicBook.com readers.

The footage in question depicted some shots already shown in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, including both Thor and Hulk in their gladiator garb when they’re about to do battle on the planet Sakaar for the entertainment of Jeff Goldblum’s the Grandmaster.


And perhaps most interestingly, the footage also depicted Cate Blanchett’s Hela holding Mjolnir.

Description of the footage states that she doesn’t wield it typically, but that she’s holding it by the powerful hammer’s head with the handle extended away from her, as if she caught it after it was projected toward her.

Details of the film’s plot indicate that Chris Hemsworth’s character would be separated from his trusty weapon before being cast to Sakaar. Now we might have an idea of how.

Hela might not be “worthy,” but as an avatar for Death and ruler of a realm of afterlife known as Hel, she is immensely powerful. Whether she is able to wield Mjolnir or simply stop it in its tracks isn’t known. But the film will likely explore the character’s abilities and connection to Asgardian magic.

Up until now, Asgardian has been referred to as “highly advanced technology,” but with the introduction of Doctor Strange—as well as the existence of the Infinity Stones—Marvel Studios films have taken slow steps into the magical and mystical territory.

We’ll see if that expands in Thor: Ragnarok when it releases November 3. Are you excited for the latest adventure in the Mighty Thor's worthy saga? Let us know with your vote below in the Anticipation Rankings!

Samuel L. Jackson annonce le retour de Nick Fury parmi les Avengers
 
Ce n’est pas parce que Nick Fury n’a pas pointé le bout de son nez depuis Avengers : L’ère d’Ultron qu’il a raccroché les gants ! Le comédien Samuel L. Jackson précise d’ailleurs comment son personnage s’est occupé depuis.

Avec ses multiples participations dans le MCU, sa voix dans Les Indestructibles et trois épisodes de Star Wars à son actif, Samuel L. Jackson est le King Kong du box-office mondial. C’est justement dans le cadre de la promotion de Kong : Skull Island qu’il fait actuellement la tournée des médias américains.

Au cours d’une interview accordée à la radio Hot 97, l’acteur légendaire a donné un indice sur l’éventuel retour tant attendu de son personnage de Nick Fury dans les prochains films regroupant les Avengers. Comme le présentateur de l’émission s’inquiètait du sort réservé à son personnage pour l’avenir de l’univers Marvel, Samuel L. Jackson s'est montré plutôt rassurant :

"Je suis toujours dans les parages, à surveiller ce que le Skull va faire..." a-t-il dit, en référence au personnage joué par Hugo Weaving dans Captain America : First Avenger et à son organisme secret, l’HYDRA. Le Red Skull serait-il sur le point de faire son grand retour dans le MCU, lui aussi ? Samuel L. Jackson précise par ailleurs qu’il a un contrat de neuf films à honorer avec Disney et Marvel et qu’il n’en est qu’à sa septième apparition. Il doit donc encore revenir au moins à deux reprises.

Quels seront ces deux films dans lesquels on retrouvera le directeur du SHIELD, toujours bon pied, bon œil ? Probablement les deux prochains Avengers, à commencer par Infinity War, actuellement en tournage, et qui sortira en France le 25 avril 2018 !

Thor 3 : Kevin Feige explique l'absence de Natalie Portman
 
Kevin Feige, le big boss de Marvel Studios, vient d'expliquer pourquoi le personnage de Jane Foster, incarné par Natalie Portman, ne serait pas au générique de "Thor 3: Ragnarok".

On le sait depuis plusieurs mois : Natalie Portman ne sera pas de l'aventure Thor 3, même si elle a ensuite indiqué ne pas fermer la porte à un retour au sein de l'univers Marvel. Aujourd'hui, Kevin Feige, le big boss de Marvel Studios, explique au micro d'Entertainment Weekly pourquoi son personnage de Jane Foster sera absent de ce troisième opus.


"Nous voulions que Thor rencontre quelqu'un qui soit un peu plus son égal et que sa relation avec Jane ait évolué de manière inattendue entre Thor : Le Mondes des ténèbres et Thor 3: Ragnarok", déclare Kevin Feige, qui précise ensuite les contours de la relation qu'entretiendra le super-héros avec le personnage de Valkyrie, jouée par Tessa Thompson. "Nous voulions le confronter à un personnage qui soit clairement davantage son égal et, à plusieurs titres, son supérieur. Valkyrie essaie de ne pas s'approprier son propre héritage asgardien. Thor pense que cela créera peut-être une passerelle entre eux mais, au contraire, elle veut mettre ça complètement de côté."

Si Jane ne sera pas au générique du troisième opus de la saga, c'est donc simplement parce qu'elle a rompu avec le super-héros et qu'ils étaient peut-être trop différents. Chris Hemsworth, qui retrouvera ce dernier le 25 octobre prochain, déclare que Thor "apprécie sans nul doute le fait d'être un vagabond, un cow-boy solitaire."
