Entertainment Link-Off: Through the Wormhole

irina shaykThis weekend, the second (and apparently much better) of the two Hercules films hits the theatres. This time, you get to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson take on a whole bunch of animals! Anyway, you can also catch Irina Shayk in a small role in the film. 

After the jump, more troubles for Ant-Man, the next Spider-Man film is delayed, there is no endgame in plan for Sons of Anarchy, Mary Poppins is tired of getting paid minimum wage, watch for a faux Rob Ford cameo in Sharknado 2, we find out the reason for the lens flare in JJ Abrams’ movies, and a whole bunch of videos to check out.

More trouble behind the scenes for Ant-Man. Patrick Wilson has exited the movie due to scheduling conflicts. So the prospects for this film isn’t looking so good now. (Deadline)

So far the buzz for The Maze Runner is looking good. If all goes well, the sequel The Scorch Trials will start filming this fall. At least the concept art so far looks promising! (Slashfilm)

The new 50 Shades of Grey trailer has caused a social media frenzy and here is a collection of some funny reactions. (News.com.au)

Sure, Roberto Orci does not have the intention to ruin our childhoods but he does so anyway. Next up, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! (IGN)

Sure the folks at Greendale got a last minute revival for the sixth season on Yahoo but it is still up in the air in terms of when the show will start airing new episodes in its new home. (TV Line)

Fans of Sons of Anarchy. Should you worry? Creator Kurt Sutter does not have an endgame in mind yet and the final season is approaching! (Entertainment Weekly)

Kristen Bell channels Mary Poppins and gets politically correct in this hilarious short. Turns out Ms Poppins is grossly underpaid and she is trying to campaign for a higher minimum wage. (Funny or Die)

Well if you’re up for a few more chuckles, here’s a fun little mockumentary explaining the lens flare in JJ Abrams’ films. (Vimeo)

There’s one very good reason to see Sharknado 2. Rob Ford gets eaten by one of those flying sharks! (Zap2it)

More stuff to look forward to. Produced by Ridley Scott, have a look at Halo: Nightfall, which will serve as a bridge between Halo 4 and 5.

Last time, Morgan Freeman spoke after inhaling helium under his own terms in Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. This time though, it is under the request of Jimmy Fallon and he didn’t look too pleased (well I’m sure it’s just acting).
