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 [...]
Andrew Garfield Is Truly Humbled To Be Spider-Man
At yesterday’s big presentation for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN at Comic-Con, an excited fan dressed in a Spider-Man costume of some sort wanted to share a special message with all of Hall H before the panel took to the stage. They began telling of what this experience meant to them and how much Spider-Man meant to [...]
The Kidd Vs. Captain America: The First Avenger
At the beginning of the summer, CAPTAIN AMERICA was the one movie I was concerned with the least. After initially being a little disappointed that Chris Evans was being recycled as a superhero (similar to Ryan Reynolds’ double superhero turn), he began to grow on me from everything I had seen in advance. CAPTAIN AMERICA [...]
The First Avengers Poster Gets An A For Effort
The teaser trailer for THE AVENGERS is all set to be on the tail end of CAPTAIN AMERICA this weekend (disappointment ran through our early screening when it wasn’t attached), and that also means with the summer beginning to wind down and no other superhero franchises left to debut that it’s time to get everyone [...]
The Amazing Spider-Man Teaser Trailer Swings Your Way
Out of all the superheroes out there, Spider-Man has always ranked as my favorite. I learned to read from a Spider-Man coloring book that I still have to this day, which probably also explains my love for Dr. Octopus as my favorite super-villain, since he’s been there with me since the beginning. The story and [...]
The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer Is Here!!!
If you were one of the masses who went to see HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2 over the weekend for the first or second or eighth time, you most likely got to lay your eyes on the first teaser trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. If you hate wizards or [...]
One More Captain America Poster For Good Measure
I’ve never been a fan of those final theatrical one sheets the studios put out, jamming as many cast members as possible into the artwork, so that you can see all the characters they managed to fit in. It’s as if they’re trying to let you know just how plush the world they’ve created is. [...]
A Web’s Worth Of New Pics From The Amazing Spider-Man
Even with the first teaser trailer set to debut next week at Comic-Con, I remain incredibly skeptical on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, regardless of how amazing it might actually look. SPIDER-MAN didn’t need to be restarted or rebooted or relaunched, because, even with the after taste of SPIDER-MAN 3 still lingering, interest remained in Sam Raimi’s [...]
The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Poster Has Arrived!!!
I just got back from our screening of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2, which didn’t have any trailers attached to it on the front end as sometimes Warner Bros. screenings do. And, at the end of last weekend, I reached out to our official contacts at Warner Bros. to ask them [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! There’s Nothing More American Than Winning Tickets To See Captain America
I don’t know that they get much more American than Captain America. Oh, sure… Superman fights for “truth, justice and the American way,” but he wasn’t born here. Captain America is a natural born United States citizen upgraded through the Super Soldier program to fight Nazis. That’s pretty American. Everyone always says that something is [...]
Iron Man 3 Will Be More About Iron Man Than Iron Man 2 Was
After building a solid foundation to rest the Marvel Movie Universe on, Marvel Studios really dropped the ball with IRON MAN 2. Jon Favreau deserves a solid chunk of the blame for the way the sequel played, but, following a successful jumping-off point, IRON MAN 2 should have been able to further the solo franchise [...]
A Kenneth Branagh-Less Thor 2 Gets A Release Date And A Writer
THOR really was a pleasant surprise this summer. I’m well aware that Paramount and Marvel Studios had positioned the film to be a big blockbuster right at the front of the summer months, but, prior to actually seeing it, I was a bit uneasy about the movie, fearing the worst. I was getting WOLVERINE vibes [...]
Feel The Eyes Of Red Skull Upon You In The Captain America International One Sheet
I’m never a big fan of posters that just jam the whole cast of the movie into the artwork, which would explain why I’m not really digging the international one sheet for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER from Paramount and Marvel Studios (via Empire). Show some style… show some creativity… don’t just show me that [...]
Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman Outfit Unlike Any Other Variation
I’ve been keeping up with most of the news regarding Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and this next bit of potential info has my interest exceptionally piqued. Hollywood Life has reported that Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman outfit will be unlike any other one we’ve ever seen in a Batman film. We would all love to see Hathaway, [...]
Christopher Meloni Is The Next To Fly Onto Man Of Steel
After leaving LAW AND ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT after 12 seasons, Christopher Meloni has find a nice safety net project to fall into as he furthers his acting career – MAN OF STEEL. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Meloni is in final negotiations with Warner Bros. to join the cast of MAN OF STEEL, Zack [...]
Warner Bros. Still Plans To Make Another Green Lantern
It’d be easy for Warner Bros. to write off the GREEN LANTERN franchise as a lost cause, forming their argument around the slams of critics and the weak box office of the first film. They could put Hal Jordan on the shelf, concentrate on THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and MAN OF STEEL for next year, [...]
Captain America Throws His Shield And An Awesome New Trailer Your Way
After releasing a new one sheet earlier in the day, Paramount and Marvel Studios put forth the newest trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, and The Kidd is really hyped up to see Chris Evans don the suit, throw the shield and battle for the American way of life against Red Skull and the [...]
Superman May Soon Call Julia Ormond Mommy
Superman’s birth mother on Krypton is the last domino to fall for Zack Snyder’s reboot of the franchise, and Warner Bros. may be on the brink of finding her. Julia Ormond is in talks with the studio, Snyder and Christopher Nolan to play Lara in MAN OF STEEL, according to Deadline, and barring a monumental [...]
The Avengers Is Not Shooting In 3-D
Let the post-conversion worries begin on yet another Marvel Studios release. Last week, Mark Ruffalo, who is taking over the role of Bruce Banner and inherently the Incredible Hulk, took to his Twitter to announce that THE AVENGERS was not being shot in 3-D. And that would be perfectly fine with me, seeing how subpar [...]
The Kidd Vs. Green Lantern
It’s alright for a movie to be so-so. Not ever film has to be great, and not every film has to be terrible. They don’t even have to be good or bad. Sometimes they just fall somewhere in the middle, in that range that calls in average, mediocre and okay. In most cases, you move [...]
James Mangold Digs His Claws Into The Wolverine
THE WOLVERINE once again has a director. After Darren Aronofsky departed the film, 20th Century Fox went on a hard target search to find a quality filmmaker to fill his shoes, and, from their short list of finalists, James Mangold is their final choice. Deadline reports that Mangold is about to enter negotiations after settling [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Your Green Lantern Oath Could Win You A Limited Edition Xbox 360
I know every time we get something truly awesome that tops anything we’ve done before, we call it the best… but what can I say? Up to that point, it is absolutely the most awesome thing we’ve ever done. We’ve given away all kinds of cool stuff in the past that has easily ranked as [...]
Russell Crowe Will Birth Superman As Jor-El In Man Of Steel
I bet you never looked at Superman and pondered whether he could have ever come from Russell Crowe’s loins. Well, all that is about to change. Russell Crowe is in negotiations to join the cast of Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot MAN OF STEEL in order to play Superman’s biological father Jor-El. Variety reports that, while [...]
The Avengers Assemble For This Early Licensing Poster
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit if we see some sort of teaser trailer for THE AVENGERS attached to CAPTAIN AMERICA later this summer. After all, that’s the last Marvel picture hitting theatres before next summer, so it’d make the most sense to make sure the mainstream and casual audience aware of what [...]
Fox’s Daredevil Relaunch Has A New Writer & Storyline
All I keep hearing is that the director’s of DAREDEVIL is soooo much better, and that the movie sucks far less with everything included… but guess what? That’s not the version I originally saw. And if it is the superior version, then 20th Century Fox is to blame for putting out a lesser cut of [...]
