‘Birds of Prey’ Will Be a Harley Quinn-led “Girl Gang” Movie and Now We Know the Characters Joining Her
Even those who loathed David Ayer’s Suicide Squad agreed that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was the standout highlight, so it’d be smart for DC/WB to heavily rely on the character going forward. Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey will indeed prominently feature Quinn.
Announced earlier this year, the film will pair up Harley Quinn with other female characters from the DC Universe, and The Wrap just got the scoop on those other characters.
According to the site, the “girl gang” will include Harley Quinn, Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain and Renee Montoya.
“In addition, TheWrap has learned that the villain in “Birds of Prey” will be a Batman comics villain who has never before appeared on the big screen.”
Christina Hodson is working on the script. Robbie is also producing.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
