BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE | TEASER TRAILER #1

This is what fans of Batman and Superman have been waiting for, the first teaser trailer reveal of Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. This particular trailer finally teases Ben Affleck as the new Batman, while some may like the idea of a new Batman I will always prefer Christian Bale as the ultimate Batman. Though back onto the trailer front you can definitely hear Jesse Eisenberg narrating, whom plays super villain Lex Luther, any other details surrounding the plot are shrouded in secrecy so fans are going to have to wait another year before the showdown begins. Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther, Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, and Gal Gadot as Diana Prince,

The first official teaser trailer for Crimson Peak has finally surfaced, the highly anticipated movie of a  majorly star studded cast will surely exceed expectations when it is released later in the year.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 TRAILER

Another attempt to rejuvenate Hitman, which is based off a popular gaming franchise, comes in the form of a reboot. Even though I was one of many that enjoyed the first Hitman (2007), starring Timothy Olyphant, I was hopeful of a possible sequel in the works however the studio decided to make another origins story featuring an all new cast. Hitman: Agent 47 stars Rupert Friend, Zachary Quinto, Hannah Ware, and Thomas Kretschmann.
An assassin teams up with a woman to help her find her father and uncover the mysteries of her ancestry.

How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done. 
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.” 
Day 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.

UK - May 1st
US - May 1st

Los Angeles. It’s been five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child, Emma has dedicated her life to to discovering exactly what it was that killed her parents and getting her revenge. 
Raised in the Los Angeles Institute with the Blackthorn family, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian Blackthorn. A series of murders in the city catch her attention — they seem to have the same characteristics as the deaths of her parents. Could the murderer be the same person? And her attention isn’t the only one caught: someone has been murdering Downworlders as well. The Fair Folk make a deal with the Institute: if the Blackthorns and Emma will investigate the killings, they’ll return Mark Blackthorn to his home. The catch: they have only two weeks to find the killers. Otherwise it’s open war between faeries and Nephilim. 
The Shadowhunters of the Institute must race against time to catch the killers, even as they begin to suspect the involvement of those closest to them. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica.

Despite her scars, Winter’s natural beauty, her grace, and her gentleness are winning admiration from the Lunar people that no amount of mind-control could achieve.

Despite what her warlock boyfriend, Bishop, tells her, Indie knows it's her fault her best friend was kidnapped by the Priory. And with the Priory destroyed, finding Paige feels more hopeless than ever-especially when Indie discovers that Paige isn't even on Earth. She's trapped in Los Demonios, an alternate dimension of Los Angeles filled with evil paranormals. No one who has gone there has ever come out. 
Fueled by terror and loyalty, Indie is desperate to find a way into the underworld prison. She'll worry about getting out later. But facing the dark world's most dangerous witches and warlocks on her own means keeping her plan hush-hush-and forging alliances with some sketchy people, including a seriously sexy sorcerer.

That's the list so far, if anymore crop up I will be sure to add them! What are your most anticipated books of 2015?

#0by16 Project

Over the past year I have accumulated a vast amount of books which I've yet to read, this project named #0by16 is a way to shrink your TBR (to be read) pile to zero by the end of the year. I believe the project was created by BookTuber's Dylan Books, Maureen Keavy, Well Done Books, and Liz Loves Lit. So far my combined physical and electronic books total at 78, which isn't as bad compared to some TBR piles. I will also be restricting my book buying limit to books that I'm highly anticipating this year, which will be listed up in a follow up post. Fingers crossed that I'll actually be able to read the majority of these books, though either way it is a fun project to participate in.
