Batman’s Flying Vehicle In The Dark Knight Rises Has A Name
For those of you wondering what Batman’s latest airborne toy is called in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, you can put all of your speculation to rest. It’s not the Bat-Plane, the Batwing, the Bat-Copter, the Bat-Jet or anything along those lines. It’s simply The Bat. Hot Wheels filed some documents with the FCC regarding their [...]
The Dark Knight Rises Is Already Selling Out Midnight IMAX Showings
To say that people really want to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in its entirety as soon as possible is probably an understatement. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that, as a select few IMAX theatres around the country have begun putting their tickets up for the midnight show of TDKR on July 20, [...]
Thor 2 Gets A Rewrite
No, there’s nothing wrong with the sequel to THOR, so don’t be concerned about word of a rewrite. Deadline reports that Robert Rodat, who penned the screenplay for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, has been hired by Marvel Studios to take a pass at Don Payne’s original script for THOR 2. This was to be expected with [...]
UPDATED WITH CORRECTION!!! You Should Be Able To Understand Bane Better In The Dark Knight Rises Prologue With A New Sound Mix In Place… NOT!!!
UPDATE: Well, it looks like Collider shit the bed on this one, sourcing their story back to someone who was less than truthful and then receiving firm denials from both Warner Bros. and IMAX that the new sound mix simply doesn’t exist and isn’t happening. Awesome. So while they now have to issue an apology [...]
Batten Down The Hatches – The New Trailer For The Dark Knight Rises Has Come
If you were fortunate enough to catch MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL in 70mm IMAX this weekend, you got to catch the six-minute prologue for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. However, if you were unfortunate enough to have spent your money on SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS, the one benefit you got from throwing your money [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Dark Knight Rises Prologue
I’ve been really torn about the idea of watching any minutes of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES this far in advance. It’s still seven months before we get the movie in its entirety, and, while we’ll get little tastes along the way – be it trailers or posters or a viral marketing campaign that you know [...]
Want To See That Prologue For The Dark Knight Rises? Here’s The Official List Of IMAX Theatres Showing It
Six minutes of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, thought to be the beginning of the film and the introduction to Tom Hardy’s rendition of Bane into Gotham City… Who isn’t excited about the possibility of seeing that? I still have mixed feelings about watching THE DARK KNIGHT PROLOGUE that’ll be attached to IMAX prints of MISSION: [...]
The Dark Knight Rises Will Take Place In The Future
There is always a hunger for news concerning THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. I don’t care what’s happening on any particular day, I will drop whatever I am doing at the moment to soak up any tidbits of information that are made available concerning Christopher Nolan’s Batman finale. With December 16 getting closer and closer, and [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 1 – The Fellowship of the Podcast
It’s been a long time coming, but after a much extended hiatus, Infamous Radio has returned. About a year and a half ago, I made the decision to furlough what was then a live version of Infamous Radio, where we were able to field calls on the air, interact with our readers/listeners in a chat [...]
The Avengers Assemble In Their First Epic Trailer
I knew that we’d finally be getting our first look at THE AVENGERS in action today, but I wasn’t exactly sure when that would happen. I was hoping it might happen first thing this morning, or perhaps sometime right in the middle of the afternoon. I didn’t quite expect it to drop right smack in [...]
New Set Photos Show Off Anne Hatheway’s Slinky Catwoman In The Dark Knight Rises
The Internet erupted this morning with some fresh news from Christopher Nolan’s DARK KNIGHT RISES camp. We’re finally getting a good look at Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman outfit, courtesy of a series of set photos that feature her, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman all in costume. The pictures were taken on the set during a shoot [...]
Monster Helmer Patty Jenkins May Direct Thor 2
With the very talented Kenneth Brannagh leaving production of THOR 2, it left the sequel without a director, thereby making me a sad panda. THOR was a great comic book adaptation and Brannagh really knew how to bring the Norse God to life without making him too ridiculously campy. No, thankfully he didn’t channel the [...]
Rhys Ifans Talks About Wearing A CG Suit And Cardboard Head For The Amazing Spider-Man
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN is a year away and it’s not uncommon to find someone like me who’s not entirely convinced of either the need or the effectiveness of this reboot. One thing I can say with no exaggeration though is that I am extremely excited about finally seeing Lizard make his big screen debut. One of [...]
Marion Cotillard States She Is Not Talia al Ghul In The Dark Knight Rises
At this point, I’ve kind of stopped guessing as to what might be going on with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Even with all of the set photos and videos that have been surfacing from the on-location shoots, there’s still no way to make heads or tails out of any of it until next July when [...]
The New Superman Suit For Man Of Steel Has A Bit More Design
Alright, Superman fans… it’s time to get your bitch on. Superman fans are among the most traditional superhero fans to have ever lived. They don’t want anything changed ever. They don’t want the look of Superman changed. They don’t want the origin story of Superman changed. In fact, they’d just keep making the same movie [...]
Production For The Wolverine Pushed Back To Next Spring
The drama surrounding the production of Fox’s sequel to X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE continues. After having a big toss up to try and find a director, which ultimately went to KNIGHT AND DAY director James Mangold, the latest complications will have production start later than originally expected. Deadline has it that the film which was originally [...]
Superman Goes Commando And Other On-Set Photo Revelations For Man Of Steel
Earlier this month, Warner Bros. treated up to the first official photo of Henry Cavill in full costume for the lastest Superman movie, MAN OF STEEL. And the overwhelming consensus of those who saw the photo was: dark. This isn’t the spandex/tights look that Supes has been sporting on the silver screen for fifty-something years. [...]
Ghost Rider Literally Pees Fire In First Spirit Of Vengeance Trailer
I’m not really sure what to say after running through the teaser trailer for the sequel to GHOST RIDER, SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE. It certainly looks like a film directed by the guys who made the two CRANKs (Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine). The action looks a lot better than it did in the first GHOST [...]
Anne Hathaway Supports Catwoman’s New Catsuit In The Dark Knight Rises Amid Criticism
If you hate the new catsuit, you’re full of shit. Sorry. Just my personal opinion. And Anne Hathaway’s too, for that matter. If you hadn’t noticed, Warner Bros. released the first official photos of Hathaway as Selena Kyle/Catwoman in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES last Friday, and as was expected, fans and critics alike took to the [...]
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Set To Swing Into Action For Summer 2014
Hopefully this turns out better than the Warner Bros. plan to move forward on a sequel to GREEN LANTERN while the first film was still shooting, failing to take into account that the initial offering might suck, and audiences might not return for a follow-up in a couple of years. That’s what we call “putting [...]
Anne Hathaway Sports Catwoman Costume; Looks Awesome
God bless insomnia. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have had to wait for later this morning to catch this photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and/or Selina Kyle in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Warner Brothers just released this first glimpse of Hathaway in what seems to be the full Cat-suit. The file, as it [...]
Your First Look At Henry Cavill As Superman
Zack Snyder can do all the impressive casting he wants – from Amy Adams to Michael Shannon to Kevin Costner to Russell Crowe to Morpheus – but none of that is going to matter if he hasn’t gotten his Superman right for MAN OF STEEL. We won’t know if Henry Cavill is the right man [...]
Tom Hardy Talks Bane In Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises
It’s amazing how much attention the stars of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES get whenever they discuss the film with the press. Especially because none of them have managed to say much except praise Christopher Nolan and promise that the third film in the Nolan trilogy will knock us into submission. Take for example Tom Hardy’s [...]
Green Lantern 2 Needs To Be “A Little Edgier And Darker”
When a superhero movie succeeds, right away the studio is quick to pat itself on the back, to lay claim to being geniuses when it comes to capturing the essence of the comics and transferring it directly onto the big screen. When it fails, the excuse is always “Well, we should have made it more [...]
The Avengers Fully Assemble At Comic-Con In New Concept Art
All weekend at Comic-Con, Marvel has been assembling the Avengers piece by piece, releasing new concept art each day until they’ve finally brought all the heroic characters we’ll see next May together. Ryan Meinerding and Charlie Wen, Co-Visual Development Supervisors for Marvel Studios, created this series of seven concept art images that were given out to fans [...]
