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 Photos From The Set Of Avengers
Following that ridiculous Entertainment Weekly cover, where we find the Avengers’ weakness is a bad Photoshop job, and they made sure to compensate by providing photos in the same issue. The photos look fantastic, the sets look crazy realistic and still maintains a comic book charm, the costumes look great, and the actors look like [...]
Matthew Vaughn Wants To Make A Movie About A Superhero With MS
I loved KICK-ASS. It pretty much touched base with something we’ve all thought about once or twice in our lives, making it a personal story whether we wanted to enjoy it or not. Granted, it was a bit more violent than most people can take, but that’s just a quirk of the comic that doesn’t [...]
Marvel Studios Pres Says Thor Will Travel In Space For Sequel
So the big announcement yesterday was that Patty Jenkins was closing in a deal to be the director for THOR 2, which was met with some lukewarm reception here. That news may or may not be the best for our Norse Thunder God. Nevertheless, following that report, Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios commander-in-chief, started spilling on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The Kidd Isn’t Scared To Talk Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark With Bailee Madison
I was a little apprehensive about sitting down to talk with Bailee Madison, the 11-year-old star of the big-screen remake of DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, co-starring Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes. It’s difficult enough sometimes to have a decent and intelligent conversation with an adult trying to promote their new movie, but, in [...]
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 [...]
The Avengers May Be The Reason Why Marvel Put The Runaways On Hold
There has been some talk for a while now about a big screen version of Marvel comic’s RUNAWAYS. In fact the film was supposed to have started filming last year, but it unexpectedly got put on hold. Well script writer Drew Pearce may have some insight as to what may have halted the production of [...]
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 [...]
Marvel Bringing The Guardians Of The Galaxy To The Movies
And the Marvel news continues! Twitch is reporting that one of the lesser known comic properties that may have a future on the big screen is Marvel’s THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. The news is that THE GUARDIANS is in active development, which probably means that writers have been hired to draft up a script. [...]
Marvel Is Eyeing Brian Kirk To Direct The Sequel To Thor
There has been a ton of Marvel news coming through the pipeline lately and with THE AVENGERS a year away it’s just about time to start speculating about the future. If we’ve learned anything from this summer’s blockbusters it’s that THE AVENGERS will undoubtedly be a success. In response to the success that THOR and [...]
Marvel Developing A Dr. Strange Movie
The Marvel universe is huge with a catalog hundreds of mutants, aliens, vigilantes, and just about anything else you can think up. Now that pretty much all of the immediately recognizable superheros have had their chance on the big screen it’s time for Marvel to dig into their catalog and bring to light some of [...]
Kenneth Branagh Walks Away From Thor Sequel Much To Star’s Dismay
The film version of THOR has earned it’s place as one of the best comic book to film adaptations that has been made and it continues to reap the benefits of it’s place in history by making bank at the box office. It’s success may have claimed it’s first victim though and Thor himself is [...]
Captain America De-thrones Harry Potter To Top The Box Office
The summer of the superhero went out with a star-strangled bang this weekend as the fourth and final superhero film of the year, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER exceeded most box office expectations to comfortably top the charts with a cool $65.8 million.
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 [...]
Raven McCoy Proudly Salutes Captain America: The First Avenger
One of the people I admire most in life is my grandfather. He is educated, funny and adventurous at 80 years young. He’s been married to his college sweetheart for over 55 years, raised four great kids and continues to provide for his family well into retirement. He is everything I hope my husband will [...]
Hugh Jackman Reveals The Villain For The Wolverine
It shouldn’t have come as a shock that Hugh Jackman made a “surprise” visit to Comic-Con yesterday to be part of the panel for REAL STEEL, which is dropping later this year. It’s not like the Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots that fight in the film were going to sit and answer questions from the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
