Jason Momoa to have a cameo in upcoming Cliffhanger reboot

Everyone loves a cliffhanger. We might get an itch to know things beforehand, but there is excitement in watching something unravel with pure uncertainty. Game of Thrones was a series of cliffhangers that led us through eight seasons, always on the edge, finally concluding with the much-debated ending. Another thing that strikes us when we hear that word is the 1993 film, Cliffhanger. Starring Sylvester Stallone, it was an action ride through the mountains that kept us on the edge of our seats till the end. We can now get ready to range the mountains again as a reboot is in the works. It will have a female lead and a cameo by Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones.

The new film started its course last year from Cannes Marché du Film (a global film market), as reported by Deadline. It went underway with Ana Lily Amirpour donning the director’s hat, Sascha Penn writing the script; and Rocket Science and Original Film producing the film. The hunt for a female lead is still on while there seems to be a definite cameo by Jason Momoa; confirmed by his Instagram post. The shooting was supposed to begin in spring this year, but it’s postponed, we guess, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Ana Lily Amirpour also confirmed her involvement with the project with an Instagram post last year. The Iranian-American filmmaker made her debut with the successful film, ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night’ in 2014. She has worked with Momoa before in her second film, The Bad Batch; which also starred Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey.

Ana Lily had said some interesting things about the movie. “We are setting out to create a thrill ride on the mountain which taps into the primal side of an action movie, where you see what a person is capable of doing to survive in the most extreme situations, pushed to the limits. Add to that a high-stakes espionage and a badass female mountain climber as the lead and it becomes a truly epic reinvention of what made the original Cliffhanger movie so fun and so thrilling.”

The description really sounds like something to “hold on” to. We feel certain that Jason Momoa would fit right in with the rugged, sharp adventures of the film. It’s perfectly in line with other amazing things lined up for Momoa such as Aquaman 2; which is on the way and set for a December 2022 release. And a rumored role in Spider-Man. Keep going Jason, is all we have to say!

Game of Thrones was the biggest TV show of the 21st century. It set the bar for quality TV shows really high. The fantastical epic became a household name and caused a gigantic rise in HBO’s viewership. The series won tons of awards during its run, making the show a popular franchise. However, HBO has suffered a steep decline in ratings and viewings since the conclusion of Game of Thrones.

The 50 top-rated networks of 2020 by adults in the 18-49 age range shows that HBO suffered a 52 per cent drop. Linear viewing (i.e. watching shows at scheduled times) on the US premium network saw an overall demographic drop of 38 percent. Other US networks were also hit with declines as reported by Variety. However, cable news networks were high up on the list owing to big stories in 2020. Fox News Channel reported a 43 per cent increase in viewing figures.

HBO is planning to make a huge comeback post the Red Wedding year 2020. The television giant released their epic line up for upcoming shows and movies. The list included much-awaited movies like Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It also included a teaser for Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon.

Game of Thrones fans are already hyped up for the prequel series. The epic line-up shows huge promise and will definitely put the network back on top. Are you excited about the upcoming shows and movies? Talk to us in the comments below!

The world is a boxing ring where you fight to keep yourself on your feet. People all around the world had to box really hard through the Red Wedding year 2020. The new year comes with huge expectations and promise. Game of Thrones’ Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson has already started preparing for the bouts he has to face (quite literally). The strongman faced Irish boxer, Steven Ward, in an exhibition match and astonished everyone with his skills.

The duo went head to head at a sold-out Conrad Dubai on Friday. As it was an exhibition match, there was no victor declared. Ward was knocked down by Björnsson in the second round of the match. However, he bounced back in the final round with a flurry of punches that left Björnsson with a bloody nose.

Thor was full of praise for cruiserweight Ward after the lively draw: “Steven is unbelievable. I doubt many people would want to step into a ring with someone my size. Stevie has a big heart. To come here and do this exhibition with me means a lot. I needed that experience. Steven is the same height as my opponent in September, and this was great.”

Björnsson will face long time rival Eddie Hall later in September this year in Las Vegas. Are you excited about the World’s Heaviest Boxing match? Talk to us in the comments below!
