More Boring Magazine Covers For The Avengers
I don’t what it is about the marketing over at Disney. THE AVENGERS looks to be one of the biggest movies coming out this year (I think DARK KNIGHT RISES is just a tad bit more anticipated and better.) and they seem to understand that to an extent by continuously putting out lots and lots [...]
Pumpkin Escobar Goes Fanboy Mode For These 10 Flicks Of 2012
I started writing for this website rather late in the year out of some existential crisis I was dealing with after obtaining my useless degree and after getting laid off from my job at Blockbuster. It was only then I started to really get up on the movie news. Prior to that was just knowing a [...]
Looks Like Some Toys Might Be Telling Us Of Another Villain In The Avengers
SPOILERS!!! Wow, is Disney taking lessons in marketing from Sony? I ask because Sony released their merchandise preview of 2012, thereby spoiling a shit-ton of stuff for their AMAZING SPIDER-MAN flick, and it looks like the merchandise of Disney’s THE AVENGERS might just follow suit and reveal some huge fucking detail. Digital Spy just [...]
Thor 2 Gets A New Director
So this THOR 2 director bullshit is really starting to get on my nerves. First Kenneth Branagh, who hit a home-run with THOR, left the production of it’s sequel because of “creative differences.” Then, we got MONSTER director Patty Jenkins on board and that was fine, as long as we got that THOR sequel coming. [...]
Disney Moves Release Dates Around For A Couple Super Secret Marvel Movies
I don’t really like the secretive nature of some filmmakers and studios. I find it just a waste of energy to try to be secretive about shit, when I feel like if people know what they’re going to get they’ll get more excited about what’s to come. By no means spoil everything, but I mean [...]
Joss Whedon Comments On The Avengers Being In 3D
So there have been lots of speculation for a while that THE AVENGERS was going to be post-converted to 3D. There was that clue at the end of the first trailer, with the Real D 3D logo, while it was reported that movie was not going to be shot in 3D. It looks like Disney [...]
German Avengers Trailer Is Exactly The Same, Except For One Scene
I’m not exactly sure how international marketing works, but after looking at a lot of different international trailers and banners, there often is a huge difference in them. I guess it really depends a lot on the distribution company and the movie, really. I mean, for JOURNEY 2, the U.S. got a comedic trailer, while [...]
There Isn’t Much To The New International Banners For The Avengers
I normally have no problem with Mark Ruffalo. In fact, I find him to be a pretty good actor in most of the romantic comedies he’s done. I’ve just been insanely embittered and unforgiving that he took Edward Norton’s character. Ed Norton is by the more talented actor and it’s frustrating knowing how much work [...]
Drama Ensues Regarding The Departure Of Patty Jenkins From The Thor 2 Shoot
When Patty Jenkins left THOR 2, the stories led us to believe that it was mutual because of that whole “creative differences” thing. But apparently, there’s a lot more that’s been swept under the rug for this particular story. I was wondering why the same reason was being cited for a different director, but the [...]
Game of Throne Helmer Alan Taylor May Pick Up Thor 2
It’s really infuriating seeing different comments about any woman director destroying the sequel to THOR, let alone Patty Jenkins. It’s just how the fuck does a different set of genitals automatically make you the inferior… anything?! Damn, these backward assholes really get under my skin, man. I can continue preaching what’s been said before, but [...]
Patty Jenkins Leaves The Thor 2 Shoot
There was a bit of controversy regarding Patty Jenkins landing the job as the director of THOR 2. There were some issues with the fact that she was a woman helming a superhero movie, because apparently there are some backward assholes who still don’t give any credit to women directors. Regardless, apparently those assholes won’t [...]
Get Excited Because We Got Character Posters For The Avengers
The AVENGERS are assembling and pretty quickly I might add, because even though there’s like 7 months away from the actual release, Disney/Marvel are pushing the hell out of this flick. First there was that awful cover for EW, then we got the official teaser trailer that had me squealing with glee, and now it [...]
Superhero Flick Writers To Write Top Gun Sequel
So recently, we got news that there was a post 3D conversion in the works for Tom Cruise’s classic TOP GUN. They just keep butchering this damn movie. Not only is there is a 3D re-release in the future, and now we have a sequel to look forward to. Do we really need a sequel to [...]
Marvel Unveils Thor 2 Director And Release Date
Ever since a few months back when THOR director Kenneth Branagh announced that he would not be helming the sequel, there has been a lot of conjecture about who would take his place. At one point Game Of Thrones director Brian Kirk was being looked at, but as we can see now that didn’t pan [...]
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 [...]
Jaimie Alexander And Rodrigo Santoro Get Together To Star In Schwarzenegger’s Last Stand
The time is coming when former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to recapture his lost glory and once again join the ranks of Hollywood’s action heroes. Schwarzenegger’s comeback film, Lionsgate’s LAST STAND, stars him as a small town sheriff who takes on the former leader of a drug cartel that is trying to pass through his town [...]
The Avengers Assemble For A Magazine Cover, Sort Of
THE AVENGERS is in high gear and leaks of fan pics from the set continue to surface all over the place, but while its filming, Disney and Marvel have been awfully quiet on the marketing front. Us comic book geeks, movie geeks, and action fanatics are just going to have to wait patiently until the [...]
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 [...]
The Rack – Second Week of September 2011
SECOND WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2011 Getting sick while a movie like CONTAGION gets released into theaters probably isn’t the best timing for an illness. Let’s just say that it turned me into a hypochondriac over the weekend as I lysoled everything after I used it, wore gloves around my house and effectively quarantined myself until [...]
Clark Gregg Talks Agent Coulson, Marvel One-Shots, Among Other Things
It’s not unfamiliar for a small character to gain a popular following. Well for one small character in IRON MAN that following has gotten bigger and bigger. Clark Gregg who played the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson in Jon Favreu’s IRON MAN recently talked with Crave Online about how much his character has grown in the series [...]
2011 Summer Season Box Office Winners & Losers
The 2011 summer movie season was another record-breaking summer for Hollywood with global box office receipts expected to cross the $4.4 billion mark when all is said and done. That being said, with so many movies hitting multiplexes over the four month, not every film is going to come away smelling like a bouquet of roses. So before the more prestigious fall season gets under way, here’s a look at the summer’s biggest successes and failures.
Thor Co-Star Says That A Director For The Sequel Is Not Yet Set
A little while back, Marvel was quickly looking to pick up a replacement director for the THOR sequel after Kenneth Brannagh bowed out of directing duties. At the time Marvel had its sights set on GAME OF THRONES director Brian Kirk. Well it seems like that announcement may have come prematurely as news is coming [...]
Marvel Releasing An Assortment Of Companion Comics To Coincide With The Avengers Release
The hype machine for THE AVENGERS is really starting to kick into overdrive. The film is still a year away but the you could say that advertisement for the grandiose film event began back with IRON MAN. Now that the home stretch is upon us Marvel Comics has began to contribute to the hype. Marvel [...]
