Upgrade A Worthy Entry in the Blumhouse Film Stable

Published

on

You ever walk into a movie thinking “I just need to check my brain at the door and enjoy the ride?” well this is not this movie!

Although this movie is fast paced it is not without its intelligence.  We start out with a man (our main character Grey) working very diligently on a beautiful 1978 Trans Am, and if you love old cars you’ll LOVE the sound of that engine kicking over! 
Well, after this we see that this is a film set in the fairly distant future where nearly everything is run by computer. From cars to your house, everything is run by computers. From here we are taken to the final resting place of said vehicle an odd monument leading to a very strange house where we meet Eron a hermit computer nerd, who had commissioned the collectors piece. Now Grey’s wife is also involved in the computer field but when she tries to make small talk, she is  immediately, shut down by this very arrogant individual. 
Is it after this meeting that the film really takes off. They barely make down the road before their car is taken over and sent into the darkest part of Grey’s old neighborhood and unable to stop the car. With quick thinking Grey is able to buckle his wife and spare her from the worst part of the accident! From here they are set upon by a gang of men whose intentions are obviously not for their benefit. Words are exchanged and shots are fired and now the chase is under way, except Grey has been left paralyzed, a quadriplegic. You might think “What kind of nonsense is this?” “How can you have THIS guy save the day?”. Well, you have seen the previews, right? And the the film is called “Upgrade” right?
Well, from his coma, and subsequent time bound to a wheel chair, Grey is finally given an opportunity to be something different. An experimental procedure turns into the ability to move and walk again. 
Now the hunt. With his new abilities he seeks out the people who killed his wife. Here’s where the story gets interesting and convoluted. Almost working against the police Grey tracks down the assailants trying to get to the top.
This is a wonderful action blast of a movie with a good story, excellent acting, and one cool twist at the end! I highly recommend this movie! You will not be disappointed!

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
