Humans, Orcs and Elves Coexist in David Ayer's BRIGHT

From the director of Suicide Squad and End of Watch, David Ayer, comes a new film starring Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, and Noomi Rapace.

Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves and fairies have been coexisting since the beginning of time, this action-thriller directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, writer of Training Day) follows two cops from very different backgrounds.  Ward, a human (Will Smith), and Jakoby, an orc (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine night patrol that will alter the future of their world as they know it.  Battling both their own personal differences as well as an onslaught of enemies, they must work together to protect a young female elf and a thought-to-be-forgotten relic, which in the wrong hands could destroy everything.

Toy Fair 2013 : A NECA Preview

We are a few days away from our first "official" Toy Fair 2013 appointment, but the news is still dropping like mad and we are scrambling like fools to scoop it up! Today, we got a tip on three new action figure properties coming from the masters of movie plastics; NECA. We had some fun speculating on what licenses were available and NECA came up more than a couple of times as the ones to watch. It turns out they've deffinately got some new action up their sleeves...

Pacific Rim: We'd been told NECA had this license, but that doesn't diminish out excitement for a line of toys based on giant Kaiju monsters battling massive Yeager robots one bit. Live Action Evangelion? Yes, please. NECA will kick off their line with three 7 inch "DX" figures of Knifehead Kaiju (a massive monster that surfaces from 5 miles below the sea), Yeager "Gipsy Danger" and Yeager "Crimson Typhoon".

MIB ♥ NYC on Wednesday May 23

To celebrate the nationwide release of the action adventure comedy Men In Black™ 3, Wednesday, May 23 will be MIB ♥ NYC Day in New York City, with a special series of events culminating in the premiere of the film in the evening. Men In Black 3 will be released in theaters on Friday, May 25, 2012. Men In Black 3 was filmed on location in the New York area – the only film in the series to have the majority of the production based in New York.

The day will kick off live on “Good Morning America” from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum with the cast of Men In Black 3 celebrating the film and the start of Fleet Week. Mayor Bloomberg is expected to attend and to proclaim Wednesday, May 23 to be MIB ♥ NYC Day in the city. MIB ♥ NYC Day will then continue as Men In Black 3 rings The NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell from the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square.

Throughout the day, MIB Agents will descend upon key NYC locations, including Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, and the Chrysler Building. When people spot the agents, they can take a photo with the Instagram app and hashtag it #MIBHEARTSNYC and post that photo to Twitter. Some participants may be invited to the premiere that night in NYC.

There will be MIB ♥ NYC events at the Museum of the Moving Image, where the exhibit “Aliens, Gadgets, and Guns: Designing the World of Men In Black 3,” featuring over 25 alien masks and props from the film, is now on display and where the first MIB film will be screened; at various children’s museums, which will feature MIB craft activities and screenings of the first film; and at Sony Wonder Technology Lab, which will be offering a variety of fun activities, including an alien slime making workshop, a “special agent” photo opportunity, and the chance to check out real one-of-a-kind props from the film.

In addition, On Location Tours will offer fans the chance to follow in the footsteps of Agents J and K, passing by MIB headquarters and other locations from all three Men in Black films on the signature New York TV & Movie Sites tour. Moviegoers who need a snack can stop by Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts to try one of several Men In Black 3 inspired menu items, served up by employees wearing MIB ♥ NYC pins. Throughout the month of May, Baskin-Robbins is celebrating Men In Black 3 with Lunar Cheesecake ice cream, plus Lunar Lander and Agent 31 sundaes, while Dunkin’ Donuts is serving up out of this world Black Cocoa Creme Iced Coffee and new Undercover Black Cocoa and Chocolate Lunarmax Donuts.

The day concludes with the premiere of the film at the Ziegfeld Theatre, where the film will screen for 1150 invited guests. Simultaneously, at the AMC 42nd Street theaters, the film will screen for another 1500 people, including 500 first responders and active military. Following the screenings, 2500 guests will attend the after-party at the Intrepid Air, Sea & Space Museum. For the festivities, Fireworks by Grucci has been generously donated in honor of our nation’s military by the Generoso Pope Foundation, and following the display, Pitbull, whose single “Back In Time” is featured in Men In Black 3, will perform from the flight deck. In addition, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Trey Smith will be spinning throughout the night.

“New York City is home to 130,000 Film and Television jobs and there are few that compare in size and scope to Men in Black 3,” said NYC Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment Katherine Oliver. “MIB3 turned 2012 Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens and so many other parts of the City back in time and employed hundreds and hundreds of people. The Mayor and I are so proud that it was Made in NY.”

In Men In Black™ 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film. The film’s screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produce, and Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown are the executive producers.

Dragon Takes On Men in Black 3

Hot Toys aren't the only 12 inch action figure slingers out there! Dragon is back on the scene and is looking to re-make a name for themselves with a trio of new 12 inch action figures for Men in Black 3. So far, we have seen Agent K (2012), Agent K (1969) and Agent J 1:6th scale New Generation Life Action Figures! There are said to be around 30 points of articulation. Plenty of accessories will be packed in including the Noisy Cricket, Neuralizer, assorted guns and gadgets and Frank the Pug!













It is also worth mentioning that Enterbay ALSO have a MIB3 1:6th license, so prepare for a 12 inch action figure WAAAARRR!!! I suppose which ever Sideshow Collectibles carries will be the winner in the US, as that is the only way you'll be able to get your hands on these suckers short of importing them.
