Black Adam

Description

Black Adam is a 2022 American superhero film that follows the story of an ancient superhuman named Teth-Adam or Black Adam. Produced by New Line Cinema, DC Films, Seven Bucks Productions, and FlynnPictureCo. and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the movie is a spin-off to Shazam! (2019) and the 11th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Dwayne Johnson plays the role of Black Adam, who is released from his magical imprisonment by a group of archaeologists to free the nation of Kahndaq from a crime syndicate known as Intergang. Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan appear in supporting roles.

Johnson was initially set to portray the villain Black Adam in Shazam! but later convinced the producers to give the character his own film. The screenplay was written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani, with Jaume Collet-Serra directing. The film was originally planned to be released in December 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays. Filming took place from April to August 2021 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and also in Los Angeles.

Black Adam had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, 2022, and was released in the United States on October 21. The movie received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $393 million worldwide. However, the film was widely labeled as a box-office bomb after marketing and distribution costs were factored in. Despite the mixed reviews, Johnson's portrayal of Black Adam was praised by many viewers, and a sequel is currently in development.

Star Trek into Darkness is the twelfth film in the Star Trek franchise, and the second one in the contemporary saga of Star Trek directed by J.J. Abrams. The movie plot follows the story that has begun in 2009's Star Trek. Crew of the Enterprise makes its journey back home after the series of epic events that has been taken place in the first movie. When Captain Kirk and his team approach the Earth they see unspeakable destruction made by the invaders of internal origin. The Starfleet is under a violent attack and the real purpose of the attackers' interests is unknown. Star Trek into Darkness is shot as a 2D movie, and then converted to 3D format. The film also features 9 minutes of the high-end action scenes that were shot by IMAX cameras. As for ensemble cast – in 2013's Star Trek into Darkness we enjoy the play of all the actors of previous Star Trek, excluding the villain roles, of course. The leading antagonistic role of Khan, was taken by Benedict Cumberbatch who may be known to you by his roles in The Hobbit saga of 2012-2014 as Necromancer and, what is more remarkably as Sherlock Holmes in the extremely popular British television series of the same name. As for Enterprise crew we see familiar faces: Chris Pine (Rise of the Guardians, People Like Us, This Means War) as James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto (The Invitation, What's Your Number?, Margin Call) as Spock and Zoe Saldana (Avater, Out of the Furnace, Nina) as Nyota Uhura.
