The King’s Man Trades Gadgets For A Network Of ‘Cleaners’

Possibly the greatest challenge that writer/director Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman prequel The King’s Man will have to face, besides figuring out where Elton John could possibly sneak in a cameo, is coming up with something to replace the series’ usual litany of gadgets. Which is why it’s probably a good thing that rather than try to come up with some sort of World War I-era tchotchkes that could ruin a person’s day, this new film will have more of a human factor, as evidenced by actor Gemma Arterton’s Polly and a network of “cleaners."

While some of these operatives do indeed have skills that could straighten your closet and keep your study straight, Gemma Arterton explained to CinemaBlend and a group of journalists who visited the set of The King's Man that these “cleaners” are more of the Michael Clayton/Ray Donovan type:

Gemma Artherton’s Polly and Djimon Hounsou’s Shola seem to have quite the group of busy bees that can get them any information they need from even the most fortified corners of power. Considering they’ll be helping Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson fight a war against Grigori Rasputin himself, it’s a good thing too, as they’ll need all the information they can get.

We learned about this development firsthand, as CinemaBlend’s own Gabe Kovacs was able to observing the magic being crafted to bring to life the first point of history in the Kingsman universe. In the new movie, the foundation for the series and its titular warriors is being laid out to potentially tell other stories in the past history of Mark Millar’s graphic novel universe.

It’ll also be interesting to see how both Polly and Shola’s characters are eventually tied into the more modern era of the Kingsman franchise, as the third and final film in the Harry/Eggsy relationship is the next order of business. With each film, the series has expanded quite adeptly to the new factors thrown in each time.

As The King’s Man is set to throw it all back to World War I, Matthew Vaughn’s hyperkinetic style of action is going to make an interesting contrast to the style and weapons used in combat at that moment. With Gemma Artherton’s Polly employing her network of cleaners in the name of intelligence gathering, that’s just another exciting difference that will make the movie as different as Vaughn has promised in previous interviews.

The King’s Man defends king and country in theaters on February 14, 2020; and there’s plenty more where that came from in terms of box office action for next year! If you want to see what else is headed our way, take a look at the 2020 release schedule to get a glimpse of the future.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu
