A new poster for The First Slam Dunk has been revealed!
The iconic anime series is set to make its comeback, this time on the big screen where the Shohoku team also gets a 3D treatment, as it was revealed in the film’s teaser trailer. Before the film hits cinemas this December, a new poster has been revealed where we finally see the team together.
Check out the new poster for The First Slam Dunk below:
Slam Dunk is a hit manga and anime series created by Takehiko Inoue that was first published in 1990, and was adapted into an anime series that ran from 1993 to 1996. The series tells the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a high school delinquent who goes head over heels for the girl Haruko Akagi. Upon learning that Haruko likes watching basketball, Hanamichi joins the school’s basketball team despite his lack of knowledge about the sport. But since Haruko is already obsessed with the ace rookie, Kaede Rukawa, the arrogant Sakuragi does not waste a second in creating a rivalry between himself and his own teammate.
Inoue has also written and directed the upcoming film, which will begin its release in Japan this December 3, 2022. Check out the film’s official website for more details.
This week, more DC heroes will land on the big screen through the film Black Adam!
Starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the titular role, the new movie features the rise of the popular antihero. After being given the powers of the almighty gods, Teth-Adam uses his newfound abilities for vengeance and is imprisoned for this, earning himself the title of Black Adam. Five thousand years later, he is freed and is determined to uphold his own form of justice.
Watch the trailer for Black Adam below:
Before Black Adam hits theaters this week, we’ve rounded up a few facts about the movie that you might want to know. Check them out below.
1. Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam already appeared on the big screen.
Even before the release of Black Adam, The Rock has already debuted as Black Adam on the big screen. The antihero appeared in a post-credit cameo in this year’s animated movie DC League of Super-Pets, where Black Adam greets Superman while his dog Anubis interacts with Krypto. In that scene, Johnson voiced Krypto, Anubis, and Black Adam.
2. Black Adam was supposed to be a part of the Shazam! movie.
As comic book fans know, Black Adam is directly linked to Shazam or Captain Marvel in the comics, with the two characters receiving their powers from the same wizard, but using these powers for different purposes and being archenemies. According to The Rock, the two characters were supposed to be in one film, but the actor suggested otherwise.
“The original plan, maybe five or six years ago I think, was to tell the two origin stories of Shazam and Black Adam in the same movie. That’s what we had worked on,” Johnson told Comicbook.com in an interview. “The script was delivered. When we all read the script, I immediately felt like, ‘We have to separate these two movies. We have to honor Shazam! and that origin story and what that is and what that can be for the fans and then we also have to tell our story, too, as well.’”
3. Black Adam received his powers from Egyptian Gods.
Billy Batson received his powers from the Wizard who had selected him as the champion to wield the powers of the ancient gods and deities Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury– whose first letters in their names make up the word Shazam. While Black Adam underwent the same process, his powers were from the Egyptian gods Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton, and Mehen. This also ties to his origin as an ancient Egyptian slave.

4. The Justice Society of America also makes its big screen debut.
As the trailers have revealed, Black Adam will also feature the Justice Society of America which consists of Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo). In the comics, the JSA is a wartime group of superheroes and is considered to be the first superhero team to appear in comics, predating the Justice League by 20 years.
DC Comics will also be releasing prequel one-shots for the upcoming film, featuring separate stories about the JSA members in the film.

5. The real evil in Black Adam.
Being an antihero who wants to uphold his brutal form of justice in a world where the likes of the JSA exist, one would expect that the film’s main conflict is between Black Adam and the JSA. However, there is a bigger evil coming to the film that Black Adam would have to face: Sabbac.
In the comics, Sabbac is the antithesis of those who received the powers of Shazam. Instead of getting his powers from six powerful gods, Sabbac draws power from six of the most dangerous demons in the DC universe.

Marvel Studios has finally given us a good look at the next Black Panther in the new trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
After the passing of lead actor Chadwick Boseman back in 2020, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that they will not recast or use CGI to bring T’Challa back on the big screen. In the first teaser for the sequel, it was then hinted that a new hero dons the Black Panther cowl, and it has now been fully confirmed in the new trailer.
Check it out below:
The new trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever not only gave us a closer look at the film’s villain Namor and the Talocan people, as well as the debut of Ironheart’s suit, but it also gave the fans a complete look at the new, female Black Panther.
While the trailer didn’t really disclose who it was under the mask, fans were quick to assume that it was Shuri inside the new suit. Not only is she next in line as the ruler of Wakanda, it is also comic book canon that T’Challa’s younger sister took the mantle of the Black Panther when her brother was in a coma.
Letitia Wright reprises her role as Shuri, alongside Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman. Also joining the cast are Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne debuting as Ironheart.
Director Ryan Coogler also returned to direct the sequel. Black Panther: Wakanda Foreveris coming to Philippine cinemas on November 9.
This week, the mystery comedy thriller Amsterdam, starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington, is coming to Philippine cinemas!
The star-studded movie follows three friends– a doctor, a nurse, and a lawyer– from the 1930s who become the prime suspects in a murder. As they try to track down the real culprit of the crime to clear their names, their investigation will lead them to uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history!
Watch the trailer for Amsterdam below:
Before Amsterdam hits theaters this week, we’ve rounded up a few facts about the movie that you might want to know. Check them out below.
1. David O. Russell and Christian Bale reunite for Amsterdam.
Director David O. Russell has worked with actor Christian Bale in his films The Fighter and American Hustle. In a report from Reuters, it was revealed that the director worked closely with Bale over the years to develop the story of Amsterdam.
“He had no script. He just had a couple of ideas. We started trading music that we would listen to, bits of history that we would learn about. David would scribble all this down. And then, over years and years, came up with this story,” Bale told Reuters.

2. The story is mixed with real historical events.
Director Russell’s screenplay mixes fact and fiction to deliver an exciting mystery caper to viewers. As for its conspiracy plot, the script takes bits of historical events from when a fascist group tried to overthrow the US government. As the film’s synopsis described it, Amsterdam is “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction for a timely, cinematic experience.”

3. The film is packed with big stars.
While the film already has an intriguing premise, movie buffs are sure excited to see its star-studded cast on the big screen. Aside from Bale, Robbie, and Washington, Amsterdam also has Robert De Niro, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldaña, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Alessandro Nivola.

4. Taylor Swift returns to acting, and sings with Bale.
Following her appearance in the highly-criticized movie adaptation of Cats, Taylor Swift is returning to the big screen through Amsterdam. According to Variety, the famous singer-songwriter is set to play a mourning daughter in the film, most likely the victim of the murder in which the lead trio has been wrongfully implicated.

Bale also told The Hollywood Reporterthat he got to sing with Taylor Swift during filming. “I went to my daughter and said, ‘You know who I sang with today? Taylor Swift.’ And she was like, ‘Wait, what? Why would you be doing that?’ Our pitch was all over the place … and then all of a sudden, David just goes, ‘How about Christian and J.D. [Washington] just shut up for this one and let Taylor do it?’ And it was like we had been drowning out an angel’s voice all day long with our cacophony and our rough, terrible voices.”
5. Bale loved the friendship between the film’s main characters.
In the film, Christian Bale’s Doctor Burt, Robbie’s Nurse Valerie, and Washington’s lawyer Woodsman crossed paths during the war and formed a pact that they will protect each other no matter what. While the film intrigues with a historical conspiracy and social commentary that stays relevant today, Bale told THR that the reason he loves the film so much is because of the friendship in the core of the movie.
“They have all suffered absolutely crushing circumstances in their life, but they refuse to be beaten by it or defined by it. So David and I just loved those characters. We want to be around them, and we want to watch them. We want to see these friends take care of each other no matter what. Oh man, that’s a friendship that I want to have in my life,” said Bale.
