n the film, Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.
Machete (Trejo) is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator (De Niro). The film was teased as a faux trailer that was directed by Robert Rodriguez in Dimension Films' Grindhouse, which featured a full-length film from both Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.
The story centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.
When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor, Black Dynamite is the one hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.
THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Doctor Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr Nick

Heath Ledger as Tony: A mysterious outsider who joins the group. When Ledger died in the midst of production, the role was recast to have Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portray "physically transformed versions" of the character.
Depp, Farrell, and Law opted to redirect their wages for the role to Ledger's young daughter, Matilda, who had been left out of an old version of Ledger's will. Gilliam altered the part of the credits saying "A Terry Gilliam film" to "A film from Heath Ledger and friends."
I'm kind of upset.
I don't like going to the movies.
Black Dynamite makes its Canadian theatrical premier on the 14th, and on the 16th in the same cinema they have Dead Snow as a Toronto theatrical premier. Well I can't watch Dead Snow because I have a closing shift on that day, but Black Dynamite??? *shrug*
I will just have to wait for their Bluray releases.
Black Dynamite is "One Screening Only". Whatever that means.

This sweeping fantasy epic, a remake of the 1981 hit, was penned by screenwriting legend Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) and has visual effect from people involved in The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Incredible Hulk, Gladiator & Saving Private Ryan.
I just saw the first one recently, it was really good but should not under any circumstances get a sequel.
After warlords slay his parents and the rest of his family, young Thai nobleman Tiang (Tony Jaa) escapes his kidnappers and joins an eclectic band of outlaws, who instruct the revenge-minded youth in a variety of deadly fighting styles. Now a master of weapons and hand-to-hand combat, Tiang hunts down those who robbed him of his kin. Jaa also directs and Sorapong Chatree co-stars in this martial arts thriller set in 15th-century Thailand.

Night Shyamalan directs this live-action adaptation of the animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
I actually got really bored with One Piece. I watch the first 10 episodes and decided that the story is going nowhere and ditched it.
They ave the 1st season on Netflix Instant watch, so I think I might check it out, just so I can have some source material for the upcoming movie, and because Stogi praises it so highly.

After falling down a rabbit hole, young Alice (Mia Wasikowska) gets lost in an incredible fantasyland, where she experiences strange ordeals and encounters peculiar characters, including a caterpillar (Alan Rickman), Cheshire cat (Michael Sheen) and Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). Based on the Original Novels by Lewis Carroll 'Alice In Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There'.
I really don't think there is an argument that the look has changed for the worse.

After he discovers that he's the son of the Greek god Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), 12-year-old Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) strikes out on an action-packed adventure to rescue his mortal mother and negotiate a peace treaty between his father, Zeus (Sean Bean) and Hades (Steve Coogan).
Based on the Critically Acclaimed book series by Rick Riordan
The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation.
By using the flipped perspective of the camera-equipped troops, Balagueró and Plaza have designed a shocker meticulously calculated to set your nerves on edge. [REC] 2 is Aliens to Alien, a sequel that ramps up the action but does not defile the spirit of its predecessor. Balagueró and Plaza have proved themselves exciting additions to the gory canon of Euro-horror masters, and they can't wait to drag the Midnight Madness audience into the darkness, screaming at the top of their lungs.
After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.
Zombieland (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=57753)
Studio: Columbia Pictures
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin
Release: October 9, 2009Quoten the film, Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.
Reviews Counted:56 | Fresh:50 | Rotten:6 | Average Rating:7.5/10
Consensus: Wickedly funny and featuring plenty of gore, Zombieland is proof that the zombie subgenre is far from dead.
Some films would be content to strike the perfect mix of comedy and above average zombie effects, but Zombieland adds another dimension with just the right amount of back story for each character. These scenes remind us of the tragedy of their situation, eliciting everything from a chuckle to an awww to a downright yank on your heart strings. The dramatic elements are never overly milked and strike just the right chords, complementing the scenes they piggyback like a snug-fitting puzzle piece.
It’s a joy to watch a film that seems to get everything right, has an audience howling with laughter to the point where you have to struggle to hear the lines that follow a gag, and STILL provides some extra gory eye candy for the horror fan who said, “You had me at Zombie.” The running undead look fantastic and are dispatched in a never-ending, ever-evolving innovative shopping list of carnage. You’ll applaud every crunch. Zombieland is a killer comedy with a vicious sense of humor. It’s the kind of movie where, halfway through, you’ll wish you already owned the DVD. Grab six horror-starved friends and meet me at the movies for opening night. It’s time we made a deserving film #1!
If you were to take Zombieland at name value - ie as a zombie movie - it's one of the weirdest I've ever seen. For one thing, it's completely hopeful. Zombie films are, by their nature, almost always bleak. There may be a glimmer of hope at the end, but usually it feels like a band-aid on a gaping chest wound. Every good zombie movie has a sociopolitical layer, and Zombieland is no different, but this sociopolitical layer is about Obama, and about the end of the recession. This is a movie about making it through the bad times and seeing the other side. That's kind of cool, but I have to admit that it left me a touch disoriented at the finale, because I'm just not used to walking out of zombie films feeling... good.
The chemistry between Eisenberg and Harrelson is so good it's almost obscene. This is a tough relationship to pull off - Tallahassee immediately senses that Columbus is a bitch - but they navigate the waters well, without ever becoming too touchy feelie or even chummy. It's a real relationship that maybe wouldn't happen in the normal world, but in the chaos of Zombieland these two opposites together make perfect sense. Breslin and Stone are good, and Stone particularly has a great sort-of bad girl thing down, but they don't come close to matching the wattage of their male co-stars.

Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton’s high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton’s crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.

1.Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary, got tired of all the discussion and decided chingate, let's do it. So he went to Goyer and Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN! So Tull got Goyer hired.
2.The film will not be called Superman and will be called THE MAN OF STEEL.
3.Brandon Routh will not star in the film.
4.Nic Cage will NOT star in the fllm.
5.Bryan Singer is not expected to direct.
Conoces como Mark Millar walks around acting like he was going to write it? El Taco discovered that this was always BULLSHIT. Paul Levitz hated the guy and he was never even discussed to write it. He made all that "almost" stuff up.
I can tell you that Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac. It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry. I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet. And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology.
XCLUSIVE UPDATE: IGN has heard from reliable sources that Tull is downplaying this report. Goyer is in fact on the project, but not only that -- his The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan will also be scripting Superman: The Man of Steel along with him. Nolan's brother Christopher is expected to only executive-produce, and not direct, the film. That said, he will be "hands-on" as a producer. Since the Superman film is under the gun because of the ongoing legal entanglements involving the property, Warner Bros. wants the pair to get started on their script on the double.
Our sources add that Warners is confident in the early work that Goyer and Jonah Nolan have done so far on Batman 3, and that as a result Superman has now taken on a higher priority status at the studio than it had since Superman Returns was released.
Am I the only non-comicbooker that liked 3?

The film tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).
Cracking conversation is pointless if delivered by a cast of no-hopers, however, and mercifully Kick-Ass features note-perfect performances throughout, both from the seasoned pros and the many fresh faces on display.
[...]
For that very reason, Kick-Ass is as good a superhero movie as has yet been made -- storytelling of the very highest order, crafted by experts who know, love and treat the subject matter with the respect it deserves.
The result is utterly compelling from start-to-finish; an adaptation that perfectly captures the anarchic nature of the comic while at the same time eliciting unexpected emotions from a film about a crime-fighting kid in a wet-suit.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll squeal in delight at the outrageous behaviour of a little girl in a purple cape. But most of all, you'll wish that all superhero movies were like this.
I know there must be flaws in Kick-Ass. Maybe when the final score is put over the film it won't have quite the propulsive quality that this temp track gave it. Maybe a second viewing will reveal some cracks in the veneer. All I know is that the moment the film ended I wanted to see it again. It took me a couple of minutes to really get into the movie, but once I was in I was completely sold. Kick-Ass ends with the possibility of more adventures, and I want to see them all. I want to return to this hyper-violent, awesome world and get lost in laughs and sympathetic pain again. Kick-Ass is a movie that will have you on your feet, cheering your fucking guts out.
The expendables sounds awesome just for the cast!

new trailer
http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi4021356313/
Pretty much recreating the surprise of when Cloverfield burst from the shadows with a mysterious trailer before Transformers, it looks as though a new secret project
from JJ Abrams is going to be officially unveiled this Thursday, when Iron Man 2 takes its first bow at midnight screenings.
This is curious enough. There are, however, some other small, teasing details to discuss and they’ve gotten me even more interested.
Note that all of this comes from Drew McWeeny at Hit Fix who, if I read the situation right, was actually considering not posting the story and keeping the trailer secret (see: Twitter). Has he done the wrong thing? Has he undercut the magic a little?
I don’t think so. He certainly hasn’t got any info to share on what is actually in the trailer, or even a hint of what the film might be about. Drew has only given the hype and anticipation a kick-start. Then again, I would say that - look what I do for a living.
Okay, maybe there are some tiny hints of what the film might be about. There’s a title for one thing: Super 8. This might be, I’m thinking, just a code title, though I assumed the same about Cloverfield. And there’s some suggestion of rumours (which rumours? where?) that the film is somehow a Cloverfield sequel.
One theory would be that the film is a Cloverfield prequel - Super 8 home movies being a precursor to the video we associate with the first film. I think that theory is likely wrong, but you never know.
I also wonder if Super 8 is the same thing as 500 Rads, a previously reported secret Abrams project…? Very possibly, I think. How many mystery boxes can one man be prepping?
Since Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass burst onto screens a few weeks ago, speculation has swirled as to whether or not the film performed well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. A recent press release (via Forces of Geek) for the forthcoming CLiNT magazine, a joint venture between Millar and Titan Magazines, suggests that the sequel to the film, Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall, will begin production in 2011 for a 2012 theatrical release.
CLiNT is a new monthly anthology magazine that Millar is spearheading. “I’ve worked on everything from Spider-Man comics to the Iron Man movie for Marvel in New York,” Millar said in the release, “but what really excites me is the gap I see in the UK market at the moment. There are absolutely no comic-books aimed at 16-30 year old guys and I think CLiNT has potential to make an enormous impact, bringing a new type of magazine to a new generation.” The magazine will feature interviews and write-ups encompassing all forms of entertainment, along with four serialized comic strips.
The press release announcing the magazine’s launch also features this tidbit:
Millar is also launching his sequel to the hit Kick-Ass movie in the first issue of the comic. “Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall” has been scheduled for production in 2011 for a 2012 cinema release

Super 8 as in the motel chain or
Super 8 as in some sort of super hero movie starring 8 people?
Our sources tell us J.J. Abrams is actually directing this time around, although nothing is confirmed. Earlier today news broke about a top secret trailer for a new J.J. Abrams project entitled Super 8, which would premiere in front of Iron Man 2 this coming weekend. No other details were available at the time. An update at Vulture CONFIRMS that Super 8 is in fact a quasi-prequel to the smash-hit viral monster movie Cloverfield!! "Our sources...say that Super 8 is absolutely connected to 2008's Cloverfield (possibly a prequel, but not a sequel)." They continue with the plot details, which sound awesome. "Insiders familiar with the trailer tell us that it shows a bunch of kids who are shooting a movie with a Super 8 camera in the seventies or eighties. When they develop the film, they notice that there's an alien creature in the frame." OMFG. To put the icing on the cake, this sounds exactly like the Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration announced back on April 28th. Did I say OMFG?! Have your say below.
Hired to assassinate a politician, vigilante and ex-Federale Machete (Danny Trejo) nearly dies when a sniper shoots him during the job. Out for revenge, he's joined by a reluctant old buddy (Cheech Marin) who's become a pacifist priest. Written and co-directed by Robert Rodriguez, this homage to exploitation films based on his fake trailer in Grindhouse co-stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba and Steven Seagal.
and she a FOX.

Cloverfield prequel/sequel Trailer before Iron Man 2?
http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/04/secret-jj-abrams-film-to-be-unveiled-with-trailer-before-iron-man-2/ (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/04/secret-jj-abrams-film-to-be-unveiled-with-trailer-before-iron-man-2/)QuotePretty much recreating the surprise of when Cloverfield burst from the shadows with a mysterious trailer before Transformers, it looks as though a new secret project
from JJ Abrams is going to be officially unveiled this Thursday, when Iron Man 2 takes its first bow at midnight screenings.
This is curious enough. There are, however, some other small, teasing details to discuss and they’ve gotten me even more interested.
Note that all of this comes from Drew McWeeny at Hit Fix who, if I read the situation right, was actually considering not posting the story and keeping the trailer secret (see: Twitter). Has he done the wrong thing? Has he undercut the magic a little?
I don’t think so. He certainly hasn’t got any info to share on what is actually in the trailer, or even a hint of what the film might be about. Drew has only given the hype and anticipation a kick-start. Then again, I would say that - look what I do for a living.
Okay, maybe there are some tiny hints of what the film might be about. There’s a title for one thing: Super 8. This might be, I’m thinking, just a code title, though I assumed the same about Cloverfield. And there’s some suggestion of rumours (which rumours? where?) that the film is somehow a Cloverfield sequel.
One theory would be that the film is a Cloverfield prequel - Super 8 home movies being a precursor to the video we associate with the first film. I think that theory is likely wrong, but you never know.
I also wonder if Super 8 is the same thing as 500 Rads, a previously reported secret Abrams project…? Very possibly, I think. How many mystery boxes can one man be prepping?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THUNDERCATS, HO!
WARNER BROS. ANIMATION ANSWERS THE CALL WITH A NEW
TAKE ON THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES “THUNDERCATS,”
TO AIR ON CARTOON NETWORK
(June 3, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) has begun production on “ThunderCats,” an all-new animated series for Cartoon Network, based upon the iconic 1980s action classic. “ThunderCats” is the newest series from WBA, joining “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” which was recently renewed for a third season, and the following forthcoming programs: “The Looney Tunes Show,” “MAD,” “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated” and “Young Justice.” The announcement was made today by Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Animation.
“In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ‘ThunderCats’ marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” said Register. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience.”
The 21st century reimagining of the series marks a creative collaboration between WBA and Studio4°C, one of the most vibrant animation studios in Japan, with credits including “The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights” and “Halo Legends.” WBA is working closely with Studio4°C, utilizing the latter’s expertise to give the “ThunderCats” characters a new cutting-edge look while remaining true to the compelling storylines and mythology of the original series.
“We at Studio4°C are excited to be in this creative partnership with Warner Bros. Animation to bring ‘ThunderCats’ to life,” said Eiko Tanaka, President and CEO, Studio4°C. “This collaboration combines the strengths of our two companies – high production values and great storytelling – toward reintroducing this classic fan-favorite to a new audience.”
Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.
“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.
I loved the fake trailer from a couple years back. ;D
Did you guys know that the writer for the animated series was murdered: http://ca.kotaku.com/5549990/thundercats-writer-murdered (http://ca.kotaku.com/5549990/thundercats-writer-murdered)
Perry also wrote the 1985 comic book series Time Spirits, which gained renewed interest last winter when similarities (http://io9.com/5427104/avatars-neytiri-has-a-striking-comic-book-twin/gallery/) between it and Avatar were discovered.
The biggest problem with the old batman series is they are so bad (excluding part 1) that there really is no laziness with a reboot, thats really what they should and did.
There is no excuse for Sony's move on Spider-Man (4) :P though, as the original series is good and doesn't need a reboot. Things only need a reboot if they suck and that is the Reason why they didn't reboot Superman with Superman Returns. Although, Superman Returns wasn't Spider-Man 2, Iron Man, or The Dark Knight quality, so a reboot is necessary, but really only a half reboot, i don't need a damn origin story. I just need it to not suck.
From the recent interviews from Nolan, the next Batman movie might also be a Superman movie, Superman would totally make Batman irrelevant, and thats a pretty good angle for a movie. I think Batman is going to end up dying in the next movie :P See, I hear 2 things and the mind goes crazy. Though, even if that path is intriguing theres only a
25% chance of them actually doing it.
An unconnected sequel using the same name for familiarity.
An unconnected sequel using the same name for familiarity.
That is my point. It has nothing to do with the past movies, it is just using the names get try and sucker people into seeing the movie thinking they will be getting a Karate Kid movie. If they called it something else (like "The Kung Fu Kid", which would be more truthful since it is kung fu being taught instead of karate), fewer people would go to see it.
The old cartoon was good when was a kid, it aged like milk left sitting in the sun though.

A spinoff from Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is in the works.
The channel said Wednesday the new animated TV series will premiere in 2011. It has the working title, "The Legend of Korra."
Nickelodeon says the series will build on the "mythology" of the original "The Last Airbender" series, which inspired this summer's live-action movie from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH-muh-lahn).
The "Legend of Korra" is from the creator-producers of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world."
"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has ranked among the highest-rate series on the Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels.
Nickelodeon said in a release that “The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra.”
Korra’s quest eventually leads her to Republic City–the epicenter of the world of “Avatar.” A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds thatRepublic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang’s son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending.

I forgot what its called, but its like No More Heroes! Only instead of killing assassins this kid has to defeat evil ex-boyfriends of some girl. The whole classic video game score boards and point system is all uncluded. For the life of me I can not remember what it is called. But it absolutely HAD to be inspired by No More Heroes.
Edgar Wright: I haven’t told you this yet, but Shigeru Miyamoto (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto)—the Mario creator from Nintendo—has seen part of the film. We had to get his permission to use this piece of music from The Legend of Zelda for that dream sequence. So when I was writing to Nintendo to get permission, I was saying, “This music is like nursery rhymes to a generation.”http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/06/ff_cerawright/all/1

Looks like it.
Nope, not her. Anyway...
its not Michelle Rodriguez, you can clearly see the girls face, but im not sure who it is even then..it looks like Eva Mendez, there is another actress who looks just like her, but i forget her name.
They're making another Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Three was already too many.
In this mind-warping action thriller, Baby Doll (Emily Browning), a girl slated for lobotomy in a 1950s-era asylum, leads a group of young female inmates in an attempt to escape both their mental fantasy worlds and the actual institution where they are prisoners. To accomplish her plan, Baby Doll must steal five objects -- but is the man who's trying to stop her real, or a figment of her imagination? Zack Snyder (Watchmen) directs.
I am a little reluctant since every movie Michael Cera has been in has sucked IMO. It's like he he stopped being funny after Arrested Development ended. I will likely wait for it to come out on DVD and Netflix it.
We can look forward to "Freddie Mercury" appearing on lots of talk shows (Cohen almost never makes public appearances as himself, he is always playing his current character when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as Borat rather than as himself).

I doubt he's going to run around pretending to be Freddie Mercury... did he go on talk shows pretending to be his characters in Talladega Nights or Sweeney Todd?
Is that supposed to bode well?
I was bored out of my mind with Shaun of the Dead, easily one of the worst movies i've ever seen (and easily the worst zombie one). If that is a example of what Edgar Wright does with films, then my interest in Scott Pilgrim just dropped even more.
please name a few, I've seen a lot and SotD is one of the better ones.
Another one off the top of my head that was really good was the Dawn of the Dead remake.
28 Days later was cool and so was the 1980 remake of NotLD.
But SotD was anything but boring and even though it wasn't gut-busting funny, it was still very humorous.

I'm sure many will agree with me when I say "Your opinion in movies sucks".
I feel the same way about Southpark.
Completely bored an unintersted in most episodes unless I'm watching it with someone that enjoys SouthPark, then it's usually very funny.
SotD may be a similar type movie where it helps to be in a good mood, ready to be entertained and it never hurts to watch the movie with someone else that is also likely to enjoy the movie. But that is why I don't usually watch comedies alone, I'll watch horror instead... & SotD is not a horror.
and why hasn't Steve Austin been in a western?
Btw, why do thwy always pick white people to play Cleopatra? I know the ruling class in Egypt were lighter skinned, but the meant they were Middle Eastern looking as opposed to 'typical African' black, just like Jesus...

How will this work with the butchered continuity that they create din X-Men Origins? Deadpool is a great character, but that Wolverine movie sucked so bad that just about every character involved was drug down with it.
But what about Wolverine, and the mess that film made of Wade's origin? While they don't say exactly what happens, it sounds as though Deadpool breaks the fourth wall to let the audience know that he thinks it sucked too. So let's all pretend it never happened.
NT. APARTMENT - DAY - PAST
MATCH CUT TO:
a CLOSE-UP of a Deadpool ACTION FIGURE from 'Wolverine Origins.' Mouth sewn shut. Blades implanted into the wrists. In the exact same POSE we just saw the real Deadpool.
WADE (0.S.) A little piece of me curled up and
died the day this came out.
We PULL OUT to reveal that Wade is referring NOT to the action figure, but to WHAMl'S 'Music From the Edge of Heaven' LP, which he is now holding.
He tosses the LP into a near-full TRASH CAN, right on TOP of the Deadpool action figure.
DEADPOOL BUM-RUSHES Colossus and POUNDS him across the face with a brutal fist ••• CLANG •••
•••instantly BREAKING his own WRIST.
DEADPOOL: Ooooo-rlando Jones.
Deadpool fires an UPPERCUT with his OTHER FIST ••• BANG ••• •••BREAKING that wrist, too.
DEADPOOL: Gah.
Deadpool backs off Colossus and holds up two little limp wrists like an effeminate boxer.
DEADPOOL I promise. This gets worse for you.
Colossus SIGHS. Deadpool CIRCLES him.
DEADPOOL (re: useless wrists)
All the dinosaurs feared the T-Rex.
forget about deadpool, Green Lantern is going to be huge and Ryan Reynolds should just focus on that, with which they could just reboot deadpool in not sucky form.
The Black Dynamite Animated Series further chronicles the exploits of Black Dynamite and his crew. Executive produced by Carl Jones (The Boondocks, Freaknik: The Musical), the series features the voice talents of Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Kym Whitley, Byron Minns, Clifton Powell and JB Smoove.and Bullhorn is back!
The Mirror (via Film School Rejects) spoke to actor/writer Michael Jai White who revealed that he's working on a sequel to the blaxploitation action parody Black Dynamite. White said, "I've had the idea for Black Dynamite 2 for quite a while now, and it's gonna start where Black Dynamite left off . There's lots of things we didn't get a chance to do in the first one." After pimp-slapping the First Lady, what else is there?
White wasn't exactly forthcoming with details, but did say: "You know how Black Dynamite just grows in ridiculousness? Well, this will be a fitting sequel."
A cartoon, and a movie? Oh hell yeah!and a comic book
The movie is being directed by Darren Aronofsky
I suppose that it won't be in continunity with the other X-men movies...either. Wasn't Lady Deathstrike already in X-men 2, or am I misremembering?
Comic book writer-artist Rob Liefeld has taken to Twitter to rip 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the feature film adaptation of his comic Deadpool.
CinemaBlend points out a steady stream of insults hurled by Liefeld at the studio, the reasons for which aren't immediately apparent but obviously Fox did something to piss him off.
Here's a taste of what Liefeld tweeted today:
"Dear FOX studios, get your act together. Deadpool is not Green Lantern, not a family film. DP is "filthy" think Expendables $$ w/ RR"
"Also FOX, find your balls and film the script from Rheese and Wernick. You will make loads of money and thank yourself later."
"It boils down to this, Ryan Reynolds, Mr. Sexiest Man alive paired with best comic script ever written, no-brainer....make Deadpool happen!"
well the first 2 spiderman movies only had 1 villain, unless you count cameos which i don't.
What about 3D detracts from the movie?
I have no links or anything to support this, but I have heard rumors that the new spidey will be set in the ultimate universe. Take that with all the salt you like.

As long as Lex Luthor is not the villain that is awesome. It's about time we get to see Superman punch someone.
I just read about the proposed Superman Lives movie. Producer Jon Peters wanted to ditch the red and blue costume (calling it "faggy") in favor of a black costume, wanted to make Superman not fly, give Lex Luthor a space dog, and have Braniac fight polar bears and have a sidekick that Peters called a "gay R2-D2 with attitude". Ugh, that would have been a disaster.

It looks so deliciously horrible! I love how they try to rationalize the story. ;D
So much for the proposed Mortal Kombat remake that Warner Bros. Pictures had hoped to get off the ground. Still, fans of the bloody battle are in for a treat as Bloody Disgusting learned that director Kevin Tancharoen - who directed the awesome online short - will return behind the camera for a 10-episode web series dedicated to the popular video game. Penned by Tancharoen, Todd Helbing, and Aaron Helbing, star Michael Jai White leads the cast as "Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs. Shooting will take place in Vancouver this coming February. Contested expected to be cast are: Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana/Mileena and of course Scorpion. No release date is planned, and there's no word on that R-rated remake. The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.

The Dark Knight Returns news:
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman)
Tom Hardy as Bane
http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/01/19/batman-hathaway-catwoman-hardy-bane-dark-knight-rises/
Regarding Batman. The reason to cast Anne Hathaway is because she is a big star. She's pretty and she can act fine but the reason they are casting her is star power. That is a big problem with blockbuster films. They think about the star-\ power first and the question of whether the person looks or fits the part is secondary. But then when I heard they were casting Heath Ledger as the Joker I thought that was retarded. I figured they cast him entirely because at the time he was hot and had star power. In the end it became an legendary performance that will forever be his most famous role. So you never know. Though hopefully Hathaway's Batman experience ends up better for her then it did for Ledger.
cliff notes - a tire that has the psychic ability to explode living things
Quentin Dupieux directs this inventive twist on low-rent revenge flicks, which follows a car tire named Robert that rolls through the desert Southwest using its strange psychic powers to blow up birds, bunnies, human beings and more. But when Robert spies a gorgeous woman motoring down the highway, he decides to follow her and take a chance on love. This gleefully over-the-top black comedy stars Cecelia Antoinette and Thomas F. Duffy.
There is some debate about whether the pic is real or not, but The Hollywood Reporter says it is. A pic of the cast in X-Men: First Class has surfaced:

I've yet to see Will Smith in anything that wasn't terrible.
I really disagree with your taste in movies. Off the top of my head, I love these Will Smith movies: Men in Black, Men in Black II, Hancock, Ali, Hitch.
and an older movie I'm drawing a blank on where he tricks rich families into letting them into their homes.
I liked Will in Independence Day. He is playing the up and coming guy who has to prove himself, but at least it wasn't a tentpole character for him at that point. I Am Legend throws that character off, which is good. Really, the bad part of that movie was the creatures. Though watching the original Omega Man, I think I prefer the CG ones. And if you haven't, go see Made In America with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson. Its Will's second film and you get to see a glimer of the movie star he is today.

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures have found their new Man of Steel. Henry Cavill has been set to play Clark Kent/Superman in the film that Zack Snyder will direct. Warner Bros is targeting the film for December, 2012 release. Cavill recently wrapped production on The Cold Light of Day and the upcoming Immortals. He has a past with Superman. Before Bryan Singer came on to direct Superman Returns and cast Brandon Routh, Cavill had been one of the frontrunner choices for Brett Ratner and McG before they left the picture. That Superman was younger, and this time, the intention was to cast an actor near 30. Cavill is 27, so things worked out just right for him.
The picture is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder, with a script by David S. Goyer, based on story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are exec producers. Cavill's repped by CAA.
I liked Taken but a sequel? It's one of those movies where you shouldn't make a sequel.
A new movie I suggest people check it out is Rosedale. It's low budget direct-to-DVD horror/action movie about a cult trying to sacrifice a victim to summon a demon. The victim's only hope is Victor Whiskey, a gun toting badass who specializes in the occult.
One the key reasons I have an interest in this film is that I'm in it! I play the leader of the cult. The film was written and directed by my brother.

I'm looking forward to Game of Thrones, as well as The Borgias on Showtime, which comes out April 3, and Camelot on Starz which debuts April 1.
I've mostly grown tired of what's on 'regular' T.V. With few exception (Fringe) it's all recycled stroylines and plebian drama. The shows on premium T.V (I'm also looking forward to the return of Nurse Jackie, and The United States of Tara) push the envelope with new ideas and relatable drama. Anyway, that's my two cents.
First they came for your brick-and-mortar Blockbusters, then they gunned for your pay cablers, and now they’re making a bid to become their very own network: Netflix has just made a surprising move into original programming by outbidding the likes of HBO and AMC for the rights to House Of Cards, David Fincher’s adaptation of the British book and miniseries of the same name. Acquiring the drama (which, as previously reported, stars Kevin Spacey as a ruthless politician) reportedly cost Netflix an estimated $100 million up front and a commitment to two seasons at 26-episodes—the sort of deal no one’s ever had the guts to make before. Obviously it’s an expensive gamble, but more importantly, it’s one that could herald the tectonic shift from traditional TV networks toward an Internet-based, streaming future should it prove successful. Next up: Netflix handles your dreams.

The only hope we have here is that the country's new money will oppose the old money. You'll see companies like Google and NetFlix & Facebook(who depend upon fast, available broadband) stepping up their political games against the entrenched telecom dinosaurs.
fIDK im back to being interested in Spider-man. Marc Web is too good of a director, and Andrew Garfield is too good of an actor for this to not turn out decent. I heard rumors months back of them taking liberties and moving Daredevil to the UK and having Jason Statham play him, which sounds awesome to me, though I think they're just rumors.
I feel people create entertainment to entertain and to share a creative part of themselves, not to make money.
That is capitalism, and none of the people who create the art would agree with you at all and they would probably hate you for it because you are stealing from them.
When people start playing music and recruit a band together, what's there number 1 objective? To have fun.
No, Radiohead was the exception that proves the rule.

Please don't tell me you are naive enough to think that most artists would be willing to give away their work for free? Radiohead hadn't been relevent for years, that was a successful publicity stunt.
I don't know of any painter, who truly loves their craft, who would just give their paintings away for free or for any amount of money for that matter. But I'm sure they'd love for you to appreciate its subtleties up close.

Your syntax is wrong. Giving it away for free and letting people enjoy it for free, are completely different things.

Also, free unicorns for everyone.
For a regular average person this just is not a possibility.
In my view, the subclass of amateur musicians who make music with no expectation of major financial success is larger than ever, given the ubiquity of powerful and fairly cheap music technology. The internet is chock full of musicians who care only about the craft. I think that's awesome, but I also think it's not morally superior or inferior to trying to sell your music.
copyright wars strike another thread.
does someone demand a copyright when music plays in our heads?
THOUGHT CRIMES!!!!
it was written and processed by someone hired to study todays trends and crank out something that will appeal to the masses and make all involved a ton of money.
I wish there was an article to back me up, but my intuition tells me that the cost to release your own album has plummeted and is soon to be negligible.

See, that is something I could never imagine doing. When you're going to that kind of calculated effort to craft a hit, how can there be an passion for it? The funny thing is I find it's really easy to tell if a song has commercial value or not. If you love music you know when the chorus should come in and how many bars the intro should be. It's all feel and it just feels right or it doesn't. If you have to study and analyze then you're "faking" it. You should know what you want to hear on the radio and what you want to listen to on your iPod. If you love the art you make then you will also have similar tastes to the audience that loves your work so crafting a "hit" with that audience should be somewhat instinctive.
I didn't think Dexter and Supernatural was new.
ANYWAY ON-TOPIC GUYS YOU KNOW LIKE NEW TV SHOW/MOVIES WE SHOULD KEP AN EYE OUT FOR?
Yeah. Watch Raising Hope. It's pretty damn hilarious.
haha you must be new. The only thread that can't be derailed is the "I Can't Be Derailed (Rail-less)" Thread.
Look up Rebecca Black with her song Friday on ARK music or whatever their name is. They are a company comprised of several 35+ year old men who employ kids between 8-13yrs old to sing the songs that they have written for them. I thnk they had something like 5 or more artist at teh moment and all their videos are up on youtube if you look. They are HORRIBLE and crafted to be sold to other children that don't know any better.
Raising Hope is pretty good, i was trying to ignore it..for fear that if i watched it they would take it off..now what type of damn sense does that make. Damn networks!!! Fucking with my mind.

Pull something like that again and I'm going to smack you with the banhammer. Seriously, that's worse than tubgirl or something.
Darren Aronofsky has announced that he will no longer be directing The Wolverine. He said the reason is that the schedule would have kept him out of the country for almost a year and he did not want to be away from his family for that long. He said he loved the script and was looking forward to working with Hugh Jackman.
It's people like you who are killing network television.
Most costumes look like they came from a halloween store.
I noticed "Mr. Stark.' Iron Man's father, I assume?
In fact, a treatment has already been done to continue the events that take place beyond "X-Men: The Last Stand". Donner says “We took the treatment to Fox and they love it… And X4 leads into X5."
I'm interested to see what the X-Men universe looks like without Cyclops.
I think there should be reboots allowed, what about like Ultimate Spider-man, or the X-Men in Cable's universe, or an alternate take on the Avengers. I think the movies should be like the comics with confusing alternate storylines and multiple origin and death stories.
Oh, and get rid of the outfit...
They did the same thing with 2012 only one was low budget and the other was big hollywood studio.
7 Zwerge is the best Snow White movie.Is that a kid friendly movie?
FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.
At the center of the series is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed in the initial attack, and one of his three sons has been captured. Determined to get his son back and to ensure the safety of his other two sons, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the leaders of the resistance movement known as the 2nd Mass, because of their location in Boston, Mass. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.
Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) co-stars as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic upheaval in their lives. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT's Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. The series also stars Drew Roy (Secretariat) as Hal, Tom's oldest son and a growing fighter in the resistance movement; Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom's youngest son; Connor Jessup (The Saddle Club) as Ben, Tom's son who was captured by aliens; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps Anne in the group's makeshift medical clinic. Colin Cunningham (Living in Your Car) is John Pope, the leader of an outlaw motorcycle gang and Sarah Carter (Shark) is Margaret, a wary survivor of Pope's gang.
FALLING SKIES focuses on the resilience of the survivors and their determination to maintain their humanity when all else has been destroyed. It is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. They may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit. Most of all, the series is about the ties that bind people together in the most difficult of circumstances.
The aliens in the series are mighty, mysterious and merciless. They are highly intelligent and use military-like tactics, which makes them an overwhelming force against the 2nd Mass. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. Combining live action and special visual effects, the Skitters have spider-like bodies and incredible strength and agility. The deadly, robotic Mechs stand upright and can shoot bullets from their arms. The aliens control captured children, like Tom's son Ben, through bio-mechanical harnesses but have yet to reveal their ultimate plan for them.
FALLING SKIES is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Graham Yost (Justified, The Pacific) and screenwriter Robert Rodat. Rodat, who earned an Oscar® nomination for his screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Mark Verheiden (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica) and Greg Beeman (Heroes, Smallville) are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed by Carl Franklin (One False Move, Out of Time).
Did they rip off the set from Starship Troopers?
New Xmen: 1st Class Trailer
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/x-men-first-class.html
good acting directing can turn a **** script into something amazing.
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion...until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes...
I have no desire to see that film after the atrocity that was Transformers 2. Michael Bay can suck a fat one. There is no way I'm giving that piece of **** another dollar.
I don't recall there being any monkeys in the series...I thought Monkeys where part of the backstory but Apes won out.
"Rise of the" only looks marginally better than that terrible Tim Burton "Planet of the".
And c'mon, CGI?! No thanks, I'll take the superior makeup from the original film adaptation any day.
Sometimes it's accurate.
How 'bout that Terra Nova show? Also could be called "Avatar 66MYA" because it's the same guy playing the general. I've only seen two dinosaurs in the trailers: Brachiosaurus and Carnotaurus. Now, the latter is my FAVORITE dinosaur of all time. However, I'm disappointed that they're just pulling dinosaurs from every continent and era. If you're going to land in a specific time, you're going to deal with a very specific faunal makeup, sorry.
The Late Jurassic Morrison formation (where Brachiosaurus lives) would've been great. Where Carnotaurus is from? Not so much. There aren't as many dinosaurs there.
And as my friend Matt Wedel said on his blog, he bets money that there will be "others" encroching on the human settlement, some unknown dino-like humanoid creature, or maybe Sleestacks. The thing that REALLY makes me cringe is that they're actually going to make some of their dinosaurs up: some kind of super-raptor called an "Acceleraptor." God, just use Deinonychus!

Why is making up new species that bad? Aren't there almost certainly tons of species from back then that we don't know about because we haven't found their remains?
Despite what you may have heard, John Witherspoon said "The Boondocks" will be returning for a fourth season!
Before season 3 of "The Boondocks" aired on Adult Swim, there were notices that it would be the cartoon's swan song. And with over-the-top episodes like "The Booty Warrior" and "Pause", which lampooned Tyler Perry, it seemed that show creator, Aaron McGruder, was taking no prisoners since he presumably wasn't coming back.
John Witherspoon, who voices Granddad, was under the same impression.
"They was telling me all the time, for the last six months, that it's not coming back," the comedian said in a recent interview with Huntsville's Hot 103.5. "I talked to Aaron McGruder the other day; it's coming back."
And, according to John, the new season will be bigger and better than ever before. "They're going to do 20 shows this time instead of 15," he revealed.
John's excited to get back in the booth to bring Granddad back to life because of the awesome compensation he got in comparison to the amount of work he actually did.
"I wanted to come back," John admitted. "I was missing that money. That money is good. Easy money!"
John could also be earning a few stacks from a possible fourth installment in the Friday franchise. How likely is it to happen? Find out below! [video at link above]

Jason Bateman seems to be all over the place lately.
It already looks better than Cars 2.
I read that Cars made the most money for Pixar thanks to merchandise. I don't really see why since Cars toys technically should have tons of competition because they're just, well.. cars. There should be tons of other car toys out there unless Hot Wheels went bankrupt. There should also be Transformer toys out the ass since there was even a cartoon before the admittedly not as kid friendly movies. When I was kid if you gave me a car with eyes instead of a car that transformed into a robot I would have been very disappointed.Toy car collectors are a different beast. I didn't know how different till I tried my hand at it. In Hot Wheel alone you have 2 types of cards, Cars could have 3 variety of tires, 2 different paint jobs, Treasure cards, etc... All of these just sort of randomly alotted so you have to hunt them down. Their are events for collectors where it is literally winning the rights to root through an unopenned box of Hot Wheels first. It must be a sealed box to or their will be problems.
Dreamworks is making a new movie called Me and My Shadow that combines 2d animation and 3d animation. In the movie someone's shadow breaks the rules to always follow and takes control. Apparently the real world is all 3d animation while the shadows and the shadow world is all 2d. It sounds like a great idea.
If there's going to be sequel of any Pixar movie, it has to be Incredibles.

Thunder. Thunder. Thundercats. HO! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enQXITlKRgg) According to wiki it starts July 29.Welp, they had me till they got the CGI Mechs muddled into my fairly good animation. Then the sword didn't grow when he called out that made it lose a lot of its impact. Also wish they would have just kept locked step like with the other characters with Cheetara.
Contrary to what we previously thought, it is another origin story... if the trailer is anything to go by.
I'm inclined to believe that if Sam Raimi can't make a good Spider-Man film, then no one can. :P
Too many cooks in the kitchen for number 3 and most of them didn't even know how to cookI'm inclined to believe that if Sam Raimi can't make a good Spider-Man film, then no one can. :P

Peter Parker's uncle is killed, not his grandfather.
I guess one of my biggest problems with the second movie was what they did with the Dr. Octopus character, I guess I am influenced by the fact that I grew up on the Fox Spider-Man cartoon rather than the comics.
Ice to meet you.Icy what you did there.
I see Hawkeye but is that the Wasp on the far left?
You right it is probably Black Widow. I honestly in the position that you can't really be the Avengers without Wasp. Though I guess I'm a traditionalist then.I see Hawkeye but is that the Wasp on the far left?
I assumed it was Black Widow on the far left. I don't know what line-up they're going for, but I think we can do without an Ant-Man and Wasp film. I'd rather have Vision, personally.
It's Black Widow, and I don't think she's getting her own film, she was in Iron-Man 2.I doubt she would being attached to Shield.
Whose face is that behind Hulk?I assume Bruce Banner aka The Hulk :P Simply because Tony Stark is behind Iron Man and another version of Cap is behind Captain America.
from all indications the Ant-man film is still happening, but unnattached to the avengers. I trust it will be good because Edgar Wright has been developing it. Hopefully he stays attached to it to completion.That seems like a huge loss.
Really, Ant-Man? He is like a D-list superhero at best. Well, I suppose if it's a good movie people will watch it anyways.I agree that on his own he's down there but, if they're making the movie anyways he should have been with the Avengers.
I agree there, it's the same way you wouldn't make a movie just based on someone like Mr. Terrific but would be fine with him in a Justice League movie.Yeah, Though the DC Universe in general seems to have more Stand Alone heroes. Though where is my Booster Gold or Formerly Known as the Justice League movie :P
After seeing the awesome episode of Justice League Unlimited that focused on him, I am a fan of Booster Gold.That is an awesome episode in an awesome series but, My Personal Favorite is the one with the Flash when he's getting a statue.
Hey, How about that New ThunderCats reboot? It's been pretty good so far, unlike Voltron Force ugh....
...or get worse. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
It is a pilot so the animation could improve.
I don't get GSN either, yet could somehow watch it...But you don't count for keeping the show on air.
The problem with the show is that it was on GSN to begin with. Seriously, I only randomly found out about it a week ago. Who the heck watches GSN regularly that isn't a blue-haired old lady anyway?Or a foreign restaurant owner.

The first episode, he said, could focus on Buster Bluth, the deeply neurotic brother played by Tony Hale. “The latest joke we have,” Mr. Hurwitz said, “is that it’s Cambridge, Massachusetts, and there’s all these scientists in lab coats and they’re waiting for somebody. Buster comes through the door in a white lab coat – ‘Let’s begin’ – and they say, ‘Oh, no, you don’t get to wear the lab coat. We’re experimenting on you.’”
Avengers trailer is up.Meh.

oh yeah i saw that on Reddit, that looks awesome!
Hmm, I would encourage people to stop visiting Reddit based on the content they support.
Hmm, I would encourage people to stop visiting Reddit based on the content they support.
What content would that be?
They shut down r/jailbait. And it wasn't that they couldn't because of the first amendment, it was that they didn't want to set a precedent of censorship.
They wouldn't be breaking the law by taking down the pictures. A lot of things are subjective. For example, even the law basically says that what is considered porn is subjective.
I should do a version of Snow White, its public domain haha, If i can get it out on DVD around the same time as this i can get some rentors fooled! I hear its cheap as **** to film stuff in Prague.I took a lot of German. I would have loved that.
you know I took a German class entirely on German Fairy tales, we ended up watching lots of old east German films. The East German Red Riding hood is hilarious because the grandma is sniffing ****, which i guess is tobacco but you know she's talking to a random kid in a rabbit suit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM1e0eQ7ojY&feature=player_detailpage#t=447s
Which is interesting, because Im almost fluent in German as long as they are only using Fairy Tale language.
I saw the Snow White trailer and was just confused as to how Bella is the "fairest" of them all. Does fair mean pale?
I don't like to brag but darn it my successes are few and far in between. Spielberg is directing a Lincoln movie and I just came back from working with him. It is going to be epic! Well at least the opening scene.So you actually did something in the movie?

There are 11 names and 9 faces, but the one Asian looking person looks more like a woman than it does Jet Li
So where is Hemsworth and Jet Li? and who is that chick? and who is Couture?
I am not sure how she qualifies... She has no old school cred, been in **** all action movies of note, she is effectiveky unknown in the western world. Michelle Yeoh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Yeoh) would have been a far superior pick if you were to pull names out of the hat. Seriously, what is this? Hell, Summer Glau would have been a better pick, at least she has a significant body count.

Battle: Los Angeles is Perm's favorite movie.
In this twisted thriller from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, five friends arrive at a secluded cabin with clear instructions for their anticipated mountain getaway. But when the rigid rules are broken, punishment is swift -- and everyone will pay. Kristen Connolly, Jesse Williams, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Chris Hemsworth and Brian J. White star with Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford in this surprising spin on a classic horror setup.
Still, it has the worst name ever.

I'm just wondering if they are gonna stick to the game plan and have a new family next season, or are they gonna Heroes it and run this one into the ground?

Stick to the british TV series "Sherlock". Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are considerably better than Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Less blow-stuff-up-wowzy and more wit and classy writing.
Ehh...It's honestly just Ok. But believe you me, I'll be at my local IMAX on day 5-13.
As long as it is better than Batman Begins (which was dragged down by the first half being extremely boring), I will see it eventually.
I'm kind of hoping to see the trilogy end with Bane breaking the Bat. ;)
did you see the 6 minute prologue? The trailer seems that much better if you've seen the...

Mmmmmm Anne Hathaway, I approve. Whether she has the acting chops for it remains to be seen, although her sweater puppies have been. At least she isn't a joke like Halley Berry, fucking embarrassing.
eh, actually boob size cycles throughout the menstruation cycle. So chances are when they filmed her boobs in Broke Back mountain she was ovulating. They look good sized in the majority of pictures.

Catwoman is white, I am sick of studios trying to get minority viewers by making white characters black (i.e. Kingpin and Nick Fury).
I'm not racist, I just don't want them changing the race of characters.
Didn't I just say that they did it with secondary characters and that it would be wierd if they did it with a well known main character? especially one that had never been portrayed that way in the source material?
And Shaft wouldn't be Shaft if he was white. The entire series is a blacksploitation. If you change it to a white character it would become a parody and like Donald Glover already pointed out, it would probably be hilarious.

Harry, the film is fantastic with Van Damme turning in an inspired performance... Our final battle is one for the ages. The PG13 rumor is true, but before your readers pass judgement, trust me when I say this film is LARGE in every way and delivers on every level. This movie touches on many emotions which we want to share with the broadest audience possible, BUT, fear not, this Barbeque of Grand scale Ass Bashing will not leave anyone hungry...Sly
Behind Chuck Norris's beard, there is a giant crybaby who doesn't like curse words.
I'm not racist, I just don't want them changing the race of characters.
Did the race of the character change the character in any way other than skin color?
Did finding an actor to fit the part that just so happened to be black ruin the movie for you?
Do you have a problem with either Michael Clark Duncan or Samuel L. Jackson?
Because I think they both did a great job with the roles they've been given.
It's not like they took main characters that are very well known like Spiderman or Wolverine and made such a change because that would be wierd, but they made such a relatively minor change with a secondary character that was portrayed that way in the comics to begin with, so really I don't see the problem other than you don't like the source material they borrowed from.
From writer-executive producer Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies," "Heroes"), THE MUNSTERS is an imaginative reinvention of "The Munsters" as a visually spectacular one-hour drama from Universal Television. Bryan Singer ("X-Men: First Class," "House") is the director of the pilot and an executive producer; John Wirth ("Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles") also is an executive producer.
Iron Sky is one of a new wave of productions, including Artemis Eternal, The Cosmonaut, A Swarm of Angels and RiP!: A Remix Manifesto, produced in collaboration with an on-line community of film enthusiasts, that are creating a new kind of participatory cinema. At Wreck-a-Movie, a collaborative film-making web site, the producers have invited everyone interested in "chipping in" with their ideas and creativity to read the tasks given to the community and to take a shot (write an entry).
I believe there was a trailer for Iron Sky somewhere in this thread before, glad it surfaced again. I had forgotten about it.

The Big Bang Theory is nerd blackface.
Except neither of you explain why you think that.
The IT Crowd trounces The Big Bang Theory.
it's a smart show that doesn't aim all of their jokes at the lowest class.
I think you're watching a different show, because that's exactly what The Big Bang Theory does. That's why they get the ratings they do. It's not a smart show in the slightest; it's a lowest-common-denominator comedy dressed up in nerd culture.
Why am I not surprised TJ loves BBT?
It's funny seeing so much hate, since you are clearly in the minority on the show.

The River lost me in the second episode.
I'm still gonna check out the 3rd ep, but now I'm looking even less forward to it than I was before.

I expected more out of this show, but the 4th episode was better than the last 2.
I might finish out the season a few episodes at time, but I'm not a big fan.
So far the formula seems to be
Search for missing Man
you've gone/done/seen somewhere/thing/one you shouldn't have
Certain death is upon you
Make Proper sacrifice
Now all is well again.... continue on journey. end episode.

Do you realise how big those X Factor/American Idol/reality BS shows are?
And I'd even go so far as to call America's Funniest Videos a reality show, since it's all about user-submitted tapes.
BBT does that as well ironically. Which is fine as long as its the norm. If I go into an episode and there is something for the long term fans to notice, but is self contained own thing I'm ok with that. That's actually a hallmark of a traditional American produced Cartoon compared to a Traditional Japanese produced Cartoon which is very order driven. If a show has a strong continuity where you be easily lost if you don't start from the beginning then doing the oddball episode here and there is ok, but ultimately I think its just a ticking time bomb for a Comedy. It doesn't give the writers enough room to stay funny without starting to muddle there own show.I want to have a rough idea what I'm getting into when I watch.
This is not something you get watching Community. The show's not afraid to go a little crazy and experimental, and adopt a trope for an episode and then never do it again afterward. That's one of the things I love about the show, but I can see how some people wouldn't care for it.
I haven't watched The Good Wife, but I've seen those same comparisons and they've made me interested. That and How I Met Your Mother (which I also haven't watched but have heard good things) are the only non-football and non-late night things I'd have any interest at all in watching on CBS. It saddens me that NBC backing quality shows has been so bad for them in the ratings.You may like How I Met Your Mother. Its on Netflix. I would watch whats on there. Last season and this one are not that good. Though when it first came out I just caught episodes to ogle Alyson Hannigan.
How I met your mother is like a big cock tease. I mean how many times are Ted and Robin gonna hook up?Agree. That's why the last 2 seasons haven't been that great. Everyone stories are really wrapped up and there just stalling. They should have had him meet her 2 seasons ago and been dating at this point.
NBC is in shambles right now. The AV Club posted an article recently about how NBC's ratings were tied with that of Univision. I didn't even know what network Univision was before reading the article. It doesn't matter what they're airing, people are avoiding NBC like rancid dog poop. Meanwhile, CBS is doing so good that the fucking Rob Schneider sitcom is getting 12 million viewers a week, (trouncing the also solid Parks and Rec in the same timeslot) and I don't hear ANYONE arguing that that is any good.
Before writing off the quality of CBS as a whole, I have heard from people I trust and critics that The Good Wife is one of the best shows on TV right now, it just has a terribly unappealing title. Like, I've heard serious comparisons to The Wire and Breaking Bad. I haven't seen it, can anyone confirm/deny?
So let me get this straight... NBC is a disaster, while CBS is doing very well. Where does that leave ABC and Fox?
They should put a laugh track in a hour long drama.

Comedy Central made a deal to air syndicated episodes of Community starting in 2013. (http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2012/03/14/community-comes-to-comedy-central-in-2013/?xrs=synd_twitter) This provides an extra source of revenue, and added reason for NBC to keep the show on the air. Six seasons and a movie!

Do you guys remember the scene in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray tells a psychiatrist that he's stuck in a time loop and the psychiatrist tells him that he'll see him tomorrow, leading to Murray putting a pillow over his head and repeatedly punching his pillow-covered face? Yeah, that's my reaction to this "announcement". Seriously, **** you, Michael Bay. Haven't you done enough damage already with Transformers 2 and 3 (yes, I liked the first movie. So sue me)?
I suppose it could be worse...he could be doing Beast Wars Transformers now and ruining one of the few good Transformers series.

Call your local theater and harass them. That's how I got it. :D
Bonus if one of your local theaters is AMC - call the other one, if they compete with AMC, you can tell them how much AMC sucks and how much they rock (which in my case has the bonus of being 100% true).

I've loved most of Peter Jackson's movies (Lord of the Rings Trilogy, his King Kong remake).
Those are his shitty films, though! :P:

WhatHe was being sarcastic, I hope.Those are his shitty films, though! :P: : :What
Nope.
Only if it's Sean Connery's Bond.Only if it's Darrell Hammond's Sean Connery's Bond.
There were already two superior versions of King Kong before Jackson got around to his half-assed attempt. Three if you count the first half of King Kong vs Godzilla. The movie simply did not need to be made. The fact that it wasn't even half as good as the versions that came before only served to make it that much more pathetic.
Did you seriously just say that the 70's Kong was good? Now I know that you're trolling.It was a decent enough modernization. It was leagues beyond what Peter Jackson did, at least. I know you kids today can't stand any form of media that came before 1982. :P
That's debatable...but probably true. Austin Powers in Goldmember was great because they basically just gave up on trying to tell a story and it was all jokes.Goldmember was terrible precisely because of that. Oh, and all of the needless cameos. The film really should have never been made. :(

Community is one of my favorite currently running 30 minutes shows. I'm really happy they decided to not let this be the last season.Chuck was pretty played out the by the last Season and I like Chuck. What they need is a new Chuck like concept. Something that is a fun ride for a few seasons and then move on.
I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if they resurrected Chuck at this point, because the shows they got running now really are all they have. NBC has been hurting, and sadly, it's the only reason Community survives for another season...
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR A FOURTH SEASON!!!! (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/05/10/community-renewed-by-nbc/133476/)
Only 13 episodes, but NBC isn't calling it the final season, so there's a chance it might get more. Six seasons and a movie!
MacFarlane is a funny guy, not doubt. I just think FG is the weakest of the 3 shows he has on Fox in terms of quality.
Who is the idiot that works at NBC?
Here is a new trailer to the coming Bond film, Skyfall.
I can't say I am excited by it. It's got action, but it doesn't feel very Bond at all, very generic.
Someone's going to kill M? *yawn* I want see another good Bond movie before Craig gets too old, is that too much to ask?
i've not seen any of the Craig Bond movies
The animation is done by Japanese studio Polygon Pictures, and the show itself is made by Disney and airs on Disney XD.
I noticed you edited your text before I could quote it, but I was gonna correct your comment on the quality of Korean animation. As I mentioned in another thread, some of the best quality animation is done in South Korea. Including The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Justice League.
You are right, in general the quality of animation was lower in the 1940s. I did look at the videos you posted. As for budgets, there are high budget animated shows and low budget ones. There are also far more cartoons now then there were back then.
Olga Kurylenko? No NOONNO nON NOOoo. Have you seen how ungodly unsexy she is in Hitman?
This stuff nowadays just looks simplified and cheap.
You've never heard of Avatar: The Last Airbender nor it's sequel series, the Legend of Korra? That's...actually quite surprising. Usually even someone remotely familiar with the internet has had some sort of exposure to the shows.
However, considering my age compared to your's, it may not be for you.
A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, ‘Beware the Batman’ incorporates Batman’s core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form.
Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City’s criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a “Batman show.” Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans.
With WBA’s Sam Register executive producing, and Batman Beyond’s Glen Murakami and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated’s Mitch Watson producing, Beware the Batman, based on characters from DC Comics, is coming soon to Cartoon Network
WHOA HOLY **** NEW TEEN TITANS YESSS
Edit: Ew, they're chibis. Ew, it's completely comedy driven. Ew, it seems like it won't even try to continue the original series. God dammit. I wouldn't exactly call this good news. You can bet that I'll watch it, but you can also but I'll hate it with a passion.
With the new Teen Titans Go! news, comes news of the new Batman series.
For all those who gave Brave and the Bold a hard time, **** you.
Does anyone here like Young Justice? I was kind of 'meh' on it during the first season (aside from the finale), but the recent episodes have had a few unexpected plot twists that have been pretty great.I watched all of the first season and haven't gotten to the second one yet. I thought the first season was ok. Though I wish they would have used a different Robin then Dick Grayson because that one doesn't feel like him and having Nightwing would have played well with the themes of the show.
You know - TAS was good. Great, even... but I think there's a lot of Nostalgia glossing over many of the... horrible episodes. There's the one with the Oliver Twist-style guy lives in the sewer with a bunch of kids. There's the one where you've got the three rich kids stealing for fun. The scammy prophecy guy. Anything with the Penguin - notably, the one with Batman in my basement... and the Mechanic episode that seems more fan-fiction than anything. Catwoman loses her kitty. Catwoman turns into an actual furry. Oh, let's not forget the "farmer makes giant crickets" episode...Here is the crux of the American Cartoon philosophy and the Asian Cartoon philosophy. American you either have no overarching story and just one shots or you have a continual story going on but all episodes can be watched alone and still being enjoyed. Asian you tend to have continual story arcs that will lose people just randomly jumping in. Asian Cartoon in general have a good average quality. American cartoon there really isn't a median that most cartoons hit. Your either good or bad. Personally I prefer when the American style really hits its stride, Justice League be a great example (Most episodes can be watched alone, but there is an overarching story for the fans to follow.) Asian I have to sit and watch the whole thing in an order and I can't just pop to episodes an average. This makes them in essence a lot like watching a long movie. Part of this comes from where each form roots are. Asian Manga. American Comic Books.
As for Young Justice... it's pretty darn good. The second season really takes off and I love the fact that we're getting some second stingers in here. The latest plot twist revealed in last week's episode was pretty amazing.
I'm torn, really. I like the fact that shows like Green Lantern and Young Justice have a continuing story line with character development. But I also like B:TAS and B:TBATB for the fact that you can jump in to just about any episode and not miss a beat.

Caught up a little on it, and I agree about the Robin thing. The one they used had that almost fanboyish love for Batman that you see more with Tim than Dick. I actually thought it was Tim until the time jump. In retrospect, the time jump could've forced them to introduce Damian in to the continuity, which complicates things a bit.
Now, if WB wanted to be awesome, they should have released a "Best of Batman" collection that had, say, some TAS, some Batman Beyond, some B:TBATB, some of The Batman, an episode or two of the old Live Action series, maybe some Super Friends or such... The collection we got should have been named "The Best of Batman: The Animated Series"...
Also, B:TBATB Complete Season 3 came out this week. Yay. This has a "bonus episode" featuring the "Birds of Prey" singing about Aquaman's tiny penis that went unaired on US Television.

It just doesn't give a ****. If it's funny or crazy it goes in. I mean where else are you going to see Superman's Superdickery in animated form? While focusing on Batman did constrain them a bit, I think it was done out of practical reasons. I would imagine having to recast each episode without some "Core" characters to streamline things would have been a logistical nightmare.
I loved Judge Dredd, and I thought Sylvester Stallone had the right chin for the job. Rob Schneider on the other hand, could have stayed away. Makes me wonder if he and Sly slept together after they had their collection of 90s B-grade scifi flicks (I love Demolition Man too).
This is the new Dredd:

Rob Schneider? The same guy who did those terrible "comedy" movies years ago (Deuce Bigalow, The Animal, The Hot Chick, etc.)? He's the guy that always had cameos in Adam Sandler movies, right?
He is playing Judge Dredd?!?!
The first Deuce Bigalow was pretty funny, as was The Benchwarmers, and The Animal wasn't too bad.
Talledega nights wasn't too bad. That movie was surreal as hell.
I always hated Will Ferrel more.
Has anyone seen Terriers? There's only one season, it's on Netflix, and I had heard good things.
Just saw the Grey. Anyone here see that film? I thought it was pretty intense.
How was it stupid?
Just saw the Grey. Anyone here see that film? I thought it was pretty intense.
It was shot well enough, but was otherwise terribly, terribly stupid. Predictability must have been the order of the day with the two or three "reveals" toward the end. Wolves don't act like that, period. People are actually effected by wounds they take mere moments before. Hypothermia and exposure are things that exist. Oil workers that senselessly kill wolves are not to be pitied.
I'm feel sorry for those of us who waste our time watching the film. :(

Why was Batman fighting that badguy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and why didn't he have that brain thing (Krang?) in his stomach anymore?
Hahaha and why did he have metal nipples?
Also, why did Batman have a gun at one point?
the original question isn't so much that why does batman have nipples as much as why doesn't he?
In the drawings of all superheroes the just look like they have their designs painted on their skin. So it looks like their missing nipples. Many times even shirtless superheroes don't have nipples.
Err, no. Rachel Nichols is in it so I will look out for it if and when it pops up here. Had a LOL moment when the first review on IMDB was titled: If Ayn Rand wrote SciFi, this would be it. To be honest, I read the review and this show might not be my cup of tea considering I find the political undertones utterly repugnant.
Batman should get a pass on not having nipples since he's wearing armor. Superman on the hand...Kryptonian. It hasn't been proven that the males retain nipples.
If it has Shia Leboooof it can't be that good.
Disney owns Marvel Comics, so they should just finance and produce the movies themselves. They can have other companies distribute them, but those companies would have to give Disney a spot in the credits sequence.

"Sony Pictures presents...
A Walt Disney Pictures / Marvel Studios production..."
Warner Bros. has no problems holding onto their DC Comics movie rights. So why is Disney in a tough situation?

Cap was a dick in AvX.Don't read Marvel, and reading reactions from recent Marvel events (Spock and villain Cyclops), don't feel like starting.
The plot for After Earth was written by a GAFfer, Gary WhittaWho also wrote TWD: The Game. Yeah...
who also wrote Book of Eli
Because almost every other Star Trek movie was stuck in Earth. This isn't new.Either that or you were watching "The Core" multiple times.
Who also wrote TWD: The Game. Yeah...
At least they're not letting Shyamalan write it himself.
Confused, are you maligning the writing in TWD: The Game?Me maligning it would imply it's good.
But it's Morgan Freeman... as president.No, it's Aaron Eckhart as president.

Phase 3 sounds interesting. Avengers 3 could be CRAZY.
Yeah, Oblivion will blow.now now, positive self talk
I have actually seen Oblivion. It's an alright movie. Unfortunately the plot is so sci fi generic, I guessed it in the first 5 minutes. It have a beautiful visual design where even a ruined earth looks captivating. There isn't anything wrong with the movie, it just doesn't have any greatness to it. But it is actually more Sci fi that the last Star Trek movie which was an action movie dressed in sci fi clothes.
The thing is that Netflix could get those shows if they wanted to, but they want to cherry pick the shows they want to carry but studios want wide-scale deals that cover multiple shows (which makes sense).
Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television
This is the follow-up to Avengers: Earth's Mightiest HeroesI wish this was true.
No John Nobel = Fail.
In a related note, Fringe did get a very fitting finish.
so this shield thing is basically some spinoff of a popular show featuring an elite team of people who are supposed to deal with some supernatural threat because the people from the main show never showed up...
so Torchwood with X-men
That looks pretty fuckin' bad ass.
I will be watching that in the theater for sure.

S1 plods a little bit but by the end it starts to ramp up. S2 is pretty great with some amazing acting from her later on.
I do want to ask though, is it me or does the suit feel a lot like a sonic screwdriver?
That was known since Spring.

has no place in Mickey Mouse. Yeah, let's forget 70+ years worth of animation legacy.
It would appear that Disney has some NEW Mickey Mouse shorts in production:

I still don't know hardly a thing about this franchise, but this has to be the most un-easy release Marvel has coming up. It's definitely out there with the character selection, so I see this as Marvel's hardest sell. Hope the first trailer is AMAZING....

Somehow Ultron is happening before the Antman movie....
Maybe the original rumor of Antman being a flashback movie is right, maybe Antman debut is actually during The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron
I've only read so much on Ultron, and I saw all of EMH with it's Ultron Arc, and there is rumor that Vin Diesel is signed on and he is standing infront of "Giant Man" as some sort of clue. Could he be Antman? Ultron? Vision?
who knows. But Marvel is on a roll right now, so I'm blindly on board till they severely disappoint.
Fanboys rejoice! Warner Bros. officially announced at ComicCon that 2015 will bring the union of Superman and Batman in a new film directed by Man of Steel-helmer Zack Snyder. A Flash Gordon film is tentatively set for 2016 with a Justice League movie to follow in 2017

Whoever gets the Batman role should also be in the "Justice League" movie that is tentatively being planned for release in 2017 by Warner Bros. Pictures. That movie is going to feature Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash (aka Flash Gordon), Aquaman and other superheroes to be announced.
Oh my gawd.

I'd be surprised if we'll see either of the Hawks. Could be wrong, but... I *would* love to see the Hawkworld mini-series brought to film though.
I think an Aquaman film, as a stand-alone project, *could* be promising... Just not sure how I feel about him just popping up in a Justice League movie.
I figure they'll put Cyborg in the movie. They've been pushing him as a major member of the Justice League of late and it would give the movie some diversity.

I see this being like Thor - where a lot of people just didn't try to give it a chance.
With some luck, Antman doesn't fit in anywhere. He's a terrible character and so is Wasp.
The bigger story would be if Parkinson research has been able to allow him to Truly get back to the future.
Not to keep constantly posting Cracked articles, but this one (http://www.cracked.com/article_20406_5-reasons-superhero-movies-are-bubble-that-will-soon-burst.html) kind of explains it.
As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice, and sometimes, the best thing you can do — as far as Steven Spielberg and his advice — is to defy expectations. So if everybody thinks you’re going to go for this one thing and you flip it entirely and go for the strangest Marvel character, it’s interesting. And when something is interesting, it’s inspiring.
That’s the thing — I’m so busy. The audience wanted Vin and Marvel, Vin and Marvel. But I’m too busy to do a six-month role. So what Marvel came up with was really interesting. … I am watching a social wave influence and in some ways guide their thinking.

what's funny about that article is that I saw a news story earlier today about how there is a casting call out for a reboot of JAWS!! (http://www.mandy.com/1/jobs3.cfm?v=55895613)
http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/69458/jaws-reboot-works-dear-god-no
Cooper would also be the final addition to the now filming James Gunn-directed pic. He would join Chris Pratt, Benicio del Toro, Zoe Saldana and Glenn Close among others. As I reported earlier this month, Van Diesel is talking to Marvel too about coming on board to GOTG.
Ben Affleck?! Really?! I'm raging now!
Ben Affleck?! Really?! I'm raging now!
He's been in a lot of very good movies. Get over it. He'll do fine. Remember Heath Ledger as The Joker? I bet most of you nerds were raging over that choice too.
really? Like how he did so great in Daredevil? Affleck sucks he always has. I wasn't against Ledger before the movie came out I didn't even he was in it till he died. I just think he was a terrible joker that was obvious. People only say he was great cuz he died. He was a shitty ass joker, he was a great villain, a great psychopath but a shitty ass JOKER.
So Hollywood reporter is that Affleck is has been going to the gym two hours a day. Also dude is signed for mutiple films and has the possability to direct the Batman or Justice League films.
Snyder approached Affleck months ago, reports THR. Affleck would not take on this role unless he had some say in how this script turns out. He will have a strong hand at Warner Bros., which backed him on "The Town" and the Oscar-winning "Argo" and is invested in telling the town he's sticking around the studio. Affleck signed for multiple pictures. If this works out he'll have a major franchise to play with for years ahead. And a major studio where he can hang his hat, as his hero Clint Eastwood has done for decades.
According to Warner Bros.:
"Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in 'Man of Steel.'"
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC; premieres Sept. 24
You've assumed it was going to be awesome, right? Well then, breathe a sigh of relief, because indeed it is. With brothers Whedon (Joss and Jed, along with Jed's wife Maurissa Tancharoen) behind the series, this first Marvel foray into live-action TV is, well, action-packed, full of great Whedon-y dialogue (they even poke fun at the organization's name), and features the return of Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who was killed off in "The Avengers." So, what is the org in this "Avengers" spinoff? A group of smart, but not super-powered, heroes who help thwart the evildoing of Marvel universe baddies. In other words, TV land may be safe from uber-villains, but not from wise-cracking, tech-savvy geeks. Thank goodness.
That's 3 new DC shows for next year, but only 1 of them may be connected to the DCCU
The Flash
Gotham Central (or whatever it was called)
Constantine
Based on what I know of Constantine, all from the movie, it could make for a good supernatural TV series.
Gotham could also be interesting depending on what direction they take it and who the villians are.
The Flash has been done before, and it didn't pan out too well. But this time it may tie into an overall larger DCU that will also include Arrow, and who knows... maybe the movie universe too.
I know DC is frothing at the mouth to get to that MCU/Avengers money and are really watching closely to how AoS pans out into tying the Big screen to Silver screen for 1 giant all inclusive live action Marvel Universe.
Well Marvel's approach was much more coherent.
DC should have spun Smallville into Metropolis.
Got that Gotham City show that was in the works off the ground (it was a Bruce Wayne version of Smallville).
Smallville already started a version of Justice league, so it was just a matter of spinning a few more shows and then doing a Made for TV Mini-series involving them all, then spin it off into Blockbuster movies.
DC's current approach seems much more disconnected and more of an afterthought with no real planning ahead. Kinda feeling it out as they go. They aren't even keeping their projects in house and airing it on their own network (CW is theirs I think) where they have absolute control over expectations, budget and planning.
Marvel's approach had an outline, there was a plan and they executed it. They had a long term goal in mind and every movie is working towards that. Now they have an interconnected TV show that may spawn off a few more TV shows (if rumors and chatter are to be believed) and they are all connected to an ever expanding universe that has a baseline connected to the Big Screen.
I've never been a DC fan, but I really just don't see their approach working out nearly as well as Marvel's since DC is creating puzzle pieces before the know if they are going to fit and then forcing them into the current puzzle afterwards (assuming the TV shows will be connected to the DCCU of MoS and MoS2:BvS)
Even their Animation is all unconnected.
They have only been interested in doing singular stories. They haven't been thinking big enough.
Hell, they won't even let their animation people near the movie nor TV people.
With how good their animation has been on average, you would think you would want some of the animation people consulting on storyline at the very least.
edit: They probably could have helped Green Lantern... assuming none of them had any involvement with that turd.
Funny thing is, for the most part, I'd rather watch their unconnected animation (Beware the Batman aside... this show just really isn't doing it for me) over most of the Marvel movies (which I do like, but the DC Animated Films are just awesome).
I'd be okay if Warner Bros. just did a bunch of unconnected DC Films, as long as they did them well. Man of Steel was a fun movie, but wasn't really on par with the Marvel films. The Batman Trilogy was great (even if the third one... was what it was). Green Lantern is what happens when you let people who don't really know the material handle the film. Seriously, I don't even know what they were thinking... with the full, rich history of the GL universe, they adapted one of the worst ideas from the comic and did a piss-poor job at that. While the entire "The Avengers" was fun, I'd seriously be happy if WB just made good super hero movies that aren't Batman.

While the entire "The Avengers" was fun, I'd seriously be happy if WB just made good super hero movies that aren't Batman.
The show kept trying to up the stakes for the sidekicks instead of just giving them fun adventures to go on. And the time jump was WAAY too early in the life of the show.
What that show really needed was a companion show in the same universe.
To me, the focus was always on them being caught up in some "big event". The first season was all "villains lose, but secretly still win" and then the big plan was revealed and the kids had to step up again. "Fun adventures" was the wrong word. But the show definitely needed smaller plots that still tied in to the the theme you mentioned. It felt like the show was out-scaling itself.

Yep, and pre-production starts this month.
I hear the action in The Worlds Ends was spectacular, so I have high hopes for this movie's action sequences. and if the leaked test footage (http://vimeo.com/62301418) is anything to go by, it should at the very least be quite interesting.
Godzilla teaser from Comic-Con just leaked. Lemme just say, if the movie has the same dark tone as the trailer... this movie is gonna be freaking amazing.

I Thought you were a woman! :Q
Sources tell Variety that the two actors who have emerged as front-runners to land the title role in the superhero feature are Joseph Gordon Levitt and Paul Rudd. Insiders say there is still a possibility another actor could emerge but as of now, Gordon-Levitt and Rudd are the main contenders the role.
Marvel recently moved up the release date of the comic-book feature to July 31, 2015 and Wright, following his vacation, tweeted Ann pre-production photo of the Ant-Man character, which has since reignited the anticipation that an actor would be attached shortly.
The two choices are certainly interesting. Wrights appears to want more of a normal looking actor for the role with some sort of wise-cracking personality rather than a beefed up action hero like Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans.
Sources indicate the two are expected to meet with Marvel execs and Wright one more time before a decision is made and that there’s also a possibility of one more actor being added into the mix.

I think removing Ultron from Ant-man is mistake since its really the only note worthy thing that can be done for a sequel to Ant-man.
All those shows are off the shelf for one reason or another. But with shield being popular they all should be put back on the table expect Hulk which is dead dead dead.
If they're doing this style than they should brand it Marvel Knights to seperate it from the films, one shots, and TV shows.
Marvel Knights Punisher
Marvel Knights Daredevil
Marvel Knights Ghost Rider
Marvel Knights Blade
I'm not exactly sure how Marvel plans to do magical characters seeing how in this universe the asgardians are just aliens.
Maybe something with Hawkeye and Black Widow? Something to make them look a bit more badass?
Is no one else sick of super hero movies?*puts hand up*
I don't think people are tired of super hero or Genre films.
Ant man was a founding memeber, and the wasp freakin named the Avengers, so why are they doing this now?ant man would not work! (not now any way)

Can't say I'm tired of Super Hero movies just yet. The Marvel ones are just too good, and there aren't enough bad ones. I'm sure we're getting to that point pretty quickly though. (Looking at you, DC.)
Iron man 3 and the avengers were AWESOME!!Can't say I'm tired of Super Hero movies just yet. The Marvel ones are just too good, and there aren't enough bad ones. I'm sure we're getting to that point pretty quickly though. (Looking at you, DC.)
I feel the same way. Marvel's internal production so far have been of decent to good quality.
and all of it was for the most part very entertaining.
and DC's output so far has been inconsistent.
TDK & Watchmen were pretty good. But the new Superman was only decent and that is what they are building upon with their new Cinematic Universe. Hopefully they learned from Green Lantern and allow Affleck to provide some positive feedback, but I'm not holding high hopes for Supes vs Bats or Justice League.

I really hope the super powers are handled with care and don't break this series.
The Wasp WON’T feature in Ant-Man, but Janet Van Dyne WILL. The source says, “Janet will be a love interest and a major supporting character, we would see multiple references to her future as The Wasp throughout the film.” As if this wasn’t enough, the source later told me WHO Marvel and Edgar Wright had in their eyes for the role. It seems that Parks & Recreation star Rashida Jones is on top of Marvel’s shortlist for the role of 'Janet Van Dyne'.
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are everywhere these days. The screenwriting duo seem to be attached in one form or another to just about every project out there (with varying degrees of success).
In a recent interview with IGN to promote ENDER'S GAME (on which the duo is credited as producers), Orci revealed some plans to take on Universal's classic stable of monsters. They are already on board to develop remakes of both VAN HELSING and THE MUMMY, but the information in the interview suggests those could just be the beginning. They may be creating updated versions of these classic horror tales that could grow into a universe all its own.QuoteThere’s an interesting thing that could happen at Universal where they have this amazing library of their old monsters and these kinds of heroes, and the idea of trying to create a universe. [We're doing] Van Helsing, and we’re also producing The Mummy for them. We’re kind of imagining updating these kinds of things. You don’t want to just make remakes when you’re doing a thing, unless it’s worthy of being a remake, but when you have an idea for something that can actually be made different and yet be true to what it was. We just had a notion of how to make it modern and have a slightly different tone. It’s not going to be just a remake.
Universal to follow Marvel's lead and create a "Monster Universe" for Universal's Classic Monsters!?

So... The Mummy is resurrected... and then followed up by a Van Helsing Movie which is of him going to hunt The Mummy Down, and just before that ends he hears stories of a Wolfman, which leads to a The Wolfman movie, which then leads to a Dracula Movie, which leads to another Van Helsing Movie, and so on and so on.
Hmmm. Could be interesting.
"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see," he said, adding, "I was with many members of the crew that were involved in Iron Man 3. It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family."

Marvel Studios' president of production Kevin Feige explained to IGN, in an extended interview which you can watch at the bottom of the page, that the British director is currently in the Marvel offices every day "tweaking the drafts [of the script] with Joe Cornish... and we're crewing up and prepping. There should be cast announcements, probably before the end of the year."
He also went on to explain that Ant-Man, which is scheduled for a July 2015 release, won't be your regular super hero movie as it will straddle another genre entirely - the heist movie.

Michael Arnt is off of writing Star Wars VII and is being replaced by Lawernce Kashdan and JJ Abrhams. Apparently Abrams wasn't happy and is starting the writing over from starch. Good chance this film is going to be trainwreck.
The trailer for the new Captain America movie. Look's like its going to be the best of the big three sequels. They even found away to make Falcon look cool. Apparently out of the Phase 2 films this one sets up Age of Ultron the most.

Latino review is saying the next Marvel One shot will feature Trevor Slattery coming across the real Mandarian who's none two happy about his name being used by aim.
I was imagining this short to be something where the "actor" playing The Mandarin ("The Actdarin") is seen being dragged down a hallway, into a chamber that is lit with candles and torches. He is thrown down at the feet of a shadowy figure sitting in a thrown, where he is instructed to explain his actions towards playing "The Mandarin". After groveling that he was paid well to play the part because he "looked the part" and thought of it as not more than a job, a hand reaches out of the shadow, with rings on all 5 fingers, grabbing him by the throat. The owner of the hand then leans forward (camera angle is from the side and slightly behind which doesn't reveal the face), then as he stands up, lifting "The Actdarin" up off the ground, feet dangling in the air, he proclaims "I AM THE MANDARIN!" (camera angle focusing on the sheer terror of The Actdarin's face, it swings around revealing that the face of The Mandarin is the same face). He then releases "The Actdarin" who then flies 30+ feet away as if thrown. The Mandarin, whose arm is still extended makes a fist, all the candles and torches flare up. [cut to black. scene ends.]

"The Well" - In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel's "Thor: The Dark World," Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces--one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team, on Tuesday, November 19 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." stars Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Agent Grant Ward, Chloe Bennet as Skye, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz and Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons.

The X-Men have always felt out of place in the Marvel U. I think Cyclops' dialogue with Captain America at the end (or right after) AvX summed it pretty well. The gist was that Cyclops has had to fight giant robots who had been out to kill him since he was 16 and deal with his people getting genocided and the Avengers (and Cap) did poop-squat about it.
A Sentinel problem doesn't really sound like a problem to an angry Hulk.

And where was that asshole? Out partying with the Avengers.
WB are really hoping to squeeze Wonder Woman between Supes and BatsDon't we all. Don't we all...
The november 19th episoide of Agents of Sheild will be a direct tie in to the fallout of Thor the Dark World.

WB has full control of their DC Comics properties, so why isn't Disney doing anything to regain control of their Marvel properties?
You need to see the shots from the front-left. There is no carpet to match said drapes.
EXCLUSIVE: After wrapping his fan-funded Veronica Mars movie, Rob Thomas is reuniting with the film’s co-writer Diane Ruggiero for a zombie drama series project based a DC property. The CW has put in development iZombie, which Thomas and Ruggiero will write based on the characters created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint. iZombie, from Warner Bros TV and Rob Thomas Prods, is a supernatural crime procedural that centers on a med student-turned-zombie who takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories, and with the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head. Thomas and Rugierro, who previously served as an exec producer on Thomas’ series Veronica Mars and Cupid, are executive producing with fellow frequent Thomas collaborators Danielle Stokdyk and Dan Etheridge.
Well Izombie wouldn't be connected anyway since its not a DCU book. Its a self published indie title from the Vertigo imprint.Vertigo is a DC company.

“I have approached them and they wanna do it,” says Murphy. He adds, “That’s very exciting when you can work with A.) actresses you’ve always idolized and B.) those two are loving this season. They love what they get to do. Kathy Bates sent the writers a basket of plush toys all in the shapes of disemboweled organs. It doesn’t get better than when an Oscar winner sends you a grab bag of stuffed pancreas to say ‘Thank you and job well done.’”
Looks like Nightwing could be in the Brucey & Clarky meet a Princess movie...http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=89770 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=89770)
And a front runner has been found.
“I saw the costume. More than that I saw a picture of him (Affleck) in the costume. Now, I don’t want to give anything away ’cause that is up to them and stuff, but I am going to say this I instantly bear hugged him (Snyder). You have not seen this costume in a movie on film before, and for a comic book fan it was mind bending. I was like ‘Get out of here, only you have enough power to pull this off.’ Because everyone always like does this Matrix/X-Men black armor…It was fantastic. I’m already a flag waver for this movie but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like ‘Holy S**!’ It’s its own thing, man. It’s like we haven’t been down this path at all. I was so elated….Even the hardest core F*** all this person will be like ‘alright, I’m ready.'"
"It seemed like it was very [redaction edit: Jim Lee] Influenced."
Not content with Black Canary, Arsenal, the Huntress, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, China White, Doctor Ivo, or upcoming characters like The Flash and Amanda Waller, Arrow has just added Batman's protégé Nightwing to its ever-increasing cast, to be played by Steve McQueen of The Vampire Diaries fame.
Apparently McQueen is pretty excited about the role, as he tweeted this pic of himself getting ready for the show:

I actually think DC is going to have 2 universes.
One for TV, and one for the Movies.
Although I'm sure the TV guys would do the Movies for dirt cheap. Especially if the get a special contact drawn up citing TV appearances and movie appearances.
Such is what I bet Marvel wish they did.
The problem is, those two actors would know they're in an intentionally bad movie and probably not be able to do the whole thing with a straight face. Now, if the film went full camp and maybe broke the 4th wall a few times, it'd be amazing.
You know, that has never bothered me. I think I was more familiar with her on That 70s Show before Family Guy, saving me from ever thinking "Oh, that's Meg from Family Guy" when I see her in other roles.
Even in Ted, it didn't bother me.
First it was Aquaman, now it's The Wonder Twins!?
Justice League here we come.....?

I don't know if I like The Rhino in a robot suit. Seems kinda weird.
Because the proposal is that the drug Miraco from the comic book series, in the TV show will have a different effect on each person who takes it, summoning different powers and abilities based on their personality, enhancing existing talents or abilities tenfold, but with terrible side effects.
And a different person will get the powers each week…
Bleeding Cool has been led to believe by a recently-reliable source that the CW is developing another live action teen drama/romance series with a superhero twist, based on the Young Justice cartoon, games and comics, being prepped for 2015.
Bleeding Cool already mentioned how, with David Goyer attached, Warners were looking at movie treatments for the likes of Suicide Squad, Booster Gold, Deathstroke, Team 7 and more.
Well, it looks like this will be DC Entertainment’s big news for 2014.
A series of lower-prominence comic books being turned into relatively lower budget movies.
Suicide Squad is one specifically mentioned as only needing a $40 million budget, pre-marketing. Some could be made for as little as $20 million.
And with two-a-year scheduled for Spring and Fall/Autumn, Warners can expand the Man Of Steel/Batman universe significantly, and make a decent profit in the process.
“Born on a Monday…”
Someone else survived the island.
Amanda makes an offer.
A better use for that clocktower.
What is the question you should have asked?
Ollie is not the first vigilante.
Not all hoods are green.
A blank expression.
“Archer”
“Rise”
Has no one learned anything from Joel Schumacher's Batman disaster?
ASM 2. Main villain is Electro, with the rise of Green Goblin being the secondary story. Rhino is minor sub plot. Gwen dies near the end.
ASM 3. Mysterio* is the main villian, Green Goblin is still in the background. MJ is introduced during the film, The Vulture* is the minor sub plot. Doc Ock is introduced.
(Symbiote seeds can be planted here)
ASM 4. Doc Ock*, Mysterio**, Rhino, The Vulture, Electro & The Green Goblin, all under the Green Goblins lead form the Sinister Six. Spider-man uses the Symbiote to defeat them. MJ helps him shed the symbiote suit at the end.
Trilogy is complete. new series can begin:
ASM 5: Main villian is Venom. The Hobgoblin is the secondary plot.
*You can switch Mysterio w/ Dock Ock as the main villian in ASM 3,
**and then switch out Mysterio with The Lizard if he comes back in ASM 4, but I would LOVE to see Mysterio be the main bad guy in a Spider-man movie.

What criteria are you basing this on?
It's like the people in charge of the show are afraid of the source material.Welcome to live action adaptations of DC in the last decade.
Arrow sucks and is the typical CW drivel (**** made for teen girls). I get sick of seeing Green Arrow with his shirt off four times an episode. Plus, why the **** are they afraid of calling him who he is? It's like the people in charge of the show are afraid of the source material.

If you're in here to hate on Arrow with that argument then you must be Oblivious ;)
Arrow is awesome superhero comic book TV.
I hope it is currently the baseline for shows of it's kind as far as pace and scope are concerned.
It's not perfect, but it's the best we've ever had for this kind of show, IMO.
as far as him with his shirt off.... makes me feel lazy and fat. That fool is crazy cut. I would show it off too if I put in that much work to look like that.

On being called Green Arrow - Shingi already addressed it, but they are building up to that. What did you want him to do? Stand on a roof top and proclaim to the citizens that they should call him THE GREEN ARROW!!!? I'm pretty sure Superman didn't pick his own name either, I'm sure it was given to him by someone else and then kinda stuck. He didn't tell everyone what to call him. Soem thing is happening here. It's happening organically. the name is evolving, and eventually he will be saddled with the name we know him by.

Have you read any Green Arrow comic books? Just curious.
Why did they need to completely change the character to bring it to live-action television? DC can't get their **** together with their live action projects while Marvel is hitting it out of the park.

Ok, how should it have been done on TV? How would you have crafted this show?
Because from what I have heard (and this may not apply to GA) is that DC doesn't have their **** together with their comics either. Multiple origin stories for all sorts of characters, retconned everything... they rebooted the entire universe recently didn't they?
I'm with Obleezy on this one. Arrow is simply not a good show. People always being saved at the last minute by (insert random character), no acting ability by a majority of the cast, and the plot-lines are neither suspenseful or intriguing. Oh and none of the women are attractive.
Murdering fools with a bow and arrow in the age of guns is inherently badass, almost as badass as javelin-ing someone. They really fucked up this one.
Stopped watching after two episodes.

Sneak Peak at tomorrows episode of Arrow
BREAKING: Warner Bros and Zack Snyder have found their Wonder Woman. They’ve cast Gal Gadot in the iconic role and she will be part of Batman Vs. Superman, the film that will see Henry Cavill square off with Ben Affleck.
The Wonder Woman rumor has been kicking around for some time, and insiders believe the plan is to have not just Batman and Superman in the film but several members of the Justice League as well. It’s unclear which members, but Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and the Flash are said to be locks to make an appearance in some fashion, whether that’s a significant role or a cameo.
Warners will also look to now cast the villain with “Zero Dark Thirty” and “300: Rise of the Empire” star Callan Mulvey someone Warner Bros. is eyeing to play the role.
IRIS - 22-28 - African-American - As smart as she is beautiful, Iris is in grad school studying psychology. She's also Barry's mile a minute, fast-talking, quick-witted best friend. Her father, Detective West, took in Barry when his mother was murdered, and his father was wrongly accused and imprisoned for her murder. In a tough childhood for Barry, she was the one "not tough" thing. She's unaware of Barry's strong feelings for her.
DETECTIVE WEST - Late 40s to Early 50s - African American -Detective West is an honest, blue-collar cop who's seen it all. A soulful, funny caring father to Iris, and a surrogate father to Barry, West came up through the foster system himself. He took in Barry after his mother's murder and his father's imprisonment. He believes in Barry and supports Barry's efforts to prove his father's innocence.
Making Iris black is sure to piss off a few people. But what do they mean by "took him in"? Is he fifteen or some ****?
EDIT: Ok, I just finished reading the post. That backstory sounds stupid as ****.
... MOS making Jimmy Olsen a girl.I knew there was another reason I haven't seen that yet. Whats so wrong about being a White Dude in this day and age?

Its not stupid its what's used for Barry's Orgins in modern say story telling. Barry's Mother is killed and her death is usually unresolved or blamed on his father so as a kid he wants to grow up to be a police officer to solve her murder case. Barry becoming The Flash is usually a random accident that bonds him to the speed force.
Now as far as the casting goes Iris being a childhood friend and her dad taking Barry in is something that's tailored made for the show. Now the character of Dective west is based a bit on another character from the current comics who was a family friend in the police force who took Barry in. Its a bit implied that the the father figure is the one who killed Barry's mother but in the show it seems they're going with the Old reverse Flash paradox.
I don't mind this or Iris being black though it will piss some Fanboys off like when Lawrence Fishburne was cast as Perry White, or MOS making Jimmy Olsen a girl.
There is a Squirrel Green Lantern. I don't think they really care.

Looks like Gotham will show us a part of Bruce Wayne's life we've only glimpsed.
Earlier this week, we reported that Gotham potentially had a timeline when it was announced that Gordon's first case would be "a very famous double homicide." Now, thanks to information on TV Show Auditions, it is all but confirmed that the series will take place in the wake of the Waynes' murders.
The site states that FOX is currently casting series regulars in Los Angeles, one of whom will be 10-year old Bruce Wayne. It's probably safe to assume, based on this news, that Gotham is firmly set in that time period rather than portraying the investigation in flashbacks. Another bit of evidence is TV Show Auditions' story synopsis, which simply states, "Set in the early days of James Gordon's police tenure, when he meets a boy named Bruce Wayne..."
Gotham's pilot begins shooting in March, 2014.
Fox's new series Gotham will feature 10yr old Bruce Wayne as a regularThat's interesting and all but I sure wish WB would make the show that Paul Dini and Kevin Smith concocted on the most recent Fatman on Batman podcast (http://smodcast.com/episodes/paul-dini-shadow-of-the-bat/). It's basically Bruce Wayne, The Private School Years. Give it a listen, it really does sound like a great premise and Dini is a very. very good writer, especially for the bat. Their idea of a dream-team of scripters is a really good one too.
series starts at the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne

Jason Momoa is in negotiations to join the cast of the untitled Batman-Superman movie being made by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
It's unclear whom Momoa will play due to the Kryptonite lock on the project’s details. There's been speculation that the movie's villain could be Doomsday, a Kryptonian scientifically engineered into an intergalactic killing machine. Doomsday famously “killed” Superman in the comics, which became a media event in 1992. The character's existence is even hinted in the extras of the Man of Steel Blu-ray.
However, a source speculated that if Warners is populating the movie with members of the Justice League, Momoa could also play the Martian Manhunter, a super-powered alien trapped on Earth. Momoa, with his muscular physique, could be a fit for either character.
BnM has the right idea I think. Maybe treat it like an expanded form of the animated Batman: Year One where the focus is more on Gordon than Bats. Maybe that is the direction they hope to go once the film hits season 2/3-farther down the road. I would rather they skip to just before Batman is born and just tell it to us through Gordon's eyes.

First shot is a squad car rolling into an alley, where there's already police tape and a news van. A young lieutenant Gordon get out and bemoans that the vultures are already there. He walks into the crime scene and asks what the situation is. Another cop tells him a double homicide, Thomas and Martha Wayne. He's completely emotionless about it, maybe even speaking with a tinge of amusement, which disgusts Gordon. Gordon asks if their son's been contacted about their deaths. The cop says it won't be necessary and points to a young Bruce, sitting on the pavement against the wall. Gordon berates him for not being more attentive to the child. The cop is completely dismissive and says, "Oh yeah. Poor kid. He just became a billionaire." Gordon sighs and walks over to Bruce.
Gives a brief "I'm sorry," speech to Bruce before telling him he has to take him to the station where it's warm and he can call someone for him. Bruce is unresponsive. He stands Bruce up and warns him that there are some people out there who are going to be taking pictures and yelling things, and it's going to be scary. He puts his coat over Bruce's shoulders. And says "Come on, I'll help you. I'll be right beside you." They both walk out of the alleyway, and as they step into the lights, there is a sudden gust of wind, and the coat around Bruce's shoulders picks up, and for a brief moment his silhouette almost looks like he's wearing a cape.
OPENING TITLE
Boom. ****, I'm good at this.Quote from: Lionel Mandrake;92796166I'll do you one better and just give what I think would be the most interesting premise for the first two seasons. This is ignoring the fact that apparently a 10-year old Bruce Wayne will be a regular cast member. In my show you won't see child-Bruce again.
After that prologue, the series jumps ahead several years. And Gordon isn't the actual protagonist. He's definitely one of the main characters, and every one of them gets a pretty even amount of screen time and characterization, but the actual "voice" of the show would be an original character. A rookie cop recently transferred to Gotham Central. The other characters would be Bullock and Montoya as well as a few more original characters (Mainly so that we can kill one or two off later on). Gordon has just been suddenly promoted to Commissioner and there's a lot of doubt in whether or not he's ready for the job.
The first season's over-arching story is about the conflict between the Falcone crime family and a new syndicate led by someone who goes by The Penguin. Everyone knows it's millionaire businessman Oswald Cobblepot, but he's really good at covering his tracks and nobody ever gets the damning evidence needed to convict him, partially because he pays off half the force. Throughout the season we still get the "freak-of-the-week" episodes. Killer Croc could be a cool X-Files-like horror episode with the cops sneaking around in the sewer looking for this monster. Mad Hatter could kidnap Montoya and force her to use his invention. So on and so forth.
The first season ends with what looks to be a big win, with Cobblepot sure to go down. But then, near the end of the episode Cobblepot's guys end up gunning down one of the main cops and stealing the evidence that they had. It's a really brutal death and will go to show how sadistic The Penguin is.
The second season will open with the police funeral and the whole force disillusioned. The main character will blame Gordon, and Gordon won't say otherwise, but Bullock and Montoya will defend him and the whole season will have a shaky dynamic between everyone. The season will go like the first, except that they'll be much more adamant in pursuing Cobblepot. This season will also introduce Selina Kyle, who is similar to her Year One persona (Minus being a hooker, because Frank Miller). She lives in the slums, steals stuff to survive, does a little work for the higher-up criminals. The cops try to get her to be an informant but she hates the police, saying they've never done anything for her.
The last couple episodes of the season really heats it up. Someone else dies. Someone close to the main cop. Thugs blow up his apartment, basically ruin him. He goes ballistic and decides he's going to take down Cobblepot, whether Gordon thinks he should or not. He finds out about this deal going down in one of Cobblepot's warehouses. He goes in by himself. Montoya finds out and chases after him to stop him. It's too late. The place was crawling with armed guards and the cop gets captured, tied up. Penguin comes out and really goes off about how he owns the city now. How the cops have lost, and there's no way they can win back Gotham. He essentially says that he's an untouchable god.
Montoya is sneaking around outside the warehouse and she looks around the corner and is surprised to see some guards completely in incapacitated. One's unconscious, one's hanging from a lampost, one's in shock with blood pouring down his face, one's moaning about how he can't breathe and he thinks his ribs are broken. Montoya goes to one, gun drawn, and asks what happened. He just breaks down crying.
Meanwhile back inside the warehouse, Cobblepot tells his men to send the police a message. They know about his warehouse, so he says to load up the trucks/boats and burn the building down with the cop still inside. All of the men start pouring gasoline everywhere and as one nears a corner of some pallets, he gets pulled screaming out of view. Cobblepot orders his other men to go investigate. They slowly look around.
We don't see what happens, only Penguin's reaction as we hear the screaming. The guards start firing their guns and set off the fuel, starting a fire. Cobblepot runs to the other side of the warehouse to his office as he gets on his radio and calls for any guards to come and help. Montoya bursts into the room, which is now engulfed in flames. She sees the cop tied up and quickly hurries to free him. She says they need to get out of there, but he's still determined, "Not without Cobblepot." He goes after him, Montoya reluctantly follows him into the flames.
We go back to Cobblepot who's hiding in his office with the door locked, waiting for his backup. He has a gun so large that he looks awkward holding it. He backs up to a dark section of his office. Just behind him in the pitch blackness, two glowing eyes appear.
(http://i.imgur.com/6crfRe9.jpg)
He turns just in time to get brutally shoved into his desk before being pulled up and having his face bashed against the door so hard it actually breaks open. Penguin's backup arrives, but they're so stunned by what they see that nobody makes a move. Cobblepot's hurt badly, blood's pouring down his face and he's crying, moaning for someone to help him as this black silhouette with glowing eyes drags him by his foot. He slowly drags him through the burning building before disappearing through the exit. Montoya and the other cop get there just in time to see it. The main cop is only stunned for a moment before he chases the two outside.
The cop draws his gun and points it at the dark figure, which turns to look at him. You can't really see him, he's just a big black shadow with white eyes, and he's got Cobblepot on his knees. The cop calls for him to let Cobblepot go and put his hands in the air. The whole time Penguin is crying and screaming to shoot him. The figure puts his hands in the air, and seems to be complying. Just as the cop starts to inch closer there's a sudden onslaught of light, loud noise, and wind. He shields his face as the figure fires a cable up into the light and grabs Cobblepot, who starts yelling "No, no, no!" As they both get pulled into the air, and the flying vehicle takes off before we ever get to see it. The cop is just left to stand in bewilderment as Montoya joins him.
In the denouement of that episode, we find out that the thugs who witnessed it started telling people that they saw Oswald Cobblepot get dragged straight into hell by some sort of "Bat Man." The cop is furious that he didn't get a chance to bring the Penguin in, and is deadset against the Batman, with Bullock doubting the whole story. Gordon withholds judgement. Thinking that the Batman surely killed Cobblepot, they're surprised when he shows up at the main desk, beaten to a pulp and holding a box of files and bagged items. He turns himself in and gives the police the evidence they'd collected, plus some extra. But through some bribes and such, he essentially gets off free, with only most of his assets being obtained by the police. He's only left with his nightclub "The Iceberg Lounge."
In the final scene of the season, Gordon goes to The Iceberg just as it re-opens and finds Cobblepot sitting at a table by himself, staring at his drink. Gordon sarcastically congratulates him for yet again skirting the law. Cobblepot has a few remarks about how he'll be back on top again, and it's only a matter of time. Gordon gets up to leave but comments, "I don't know if I could take it like you do... I mean, knowing he's out there... Watching me. I don't think I'd ever get a decent night's sleep again." He walks out. Someone approaches Cobblepot from his left side. He screams and recoils in fear only to see it's a waitress, who stutters before asking if he'd like another drink. He shakily nods before being left alone again. The camera pans out on Oswald Cobblepot, alone at his club, a complete shell of his former self. Destroyed.
Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking. You're thinking, "But Lionel, it's supposed to be about Gordon and the police. You're just going to turn it into the Batman show." No. That's the thing. We never even hear Batman's voice (At least not until well after "shark jump" territory). We don't even get a good look at him. We only see the effect he plays on the force and on the criminals. We see a city and how it responds to having the Batman as a major element of its justice system. That's what's interesting about the Gotham City Police Department. It's the weird dynamic they have with Batman and the supercriminals. I feel like if they go too long without that element then the show will just be another X-Files rehash.
I'm venturing into fan fiction at this point, but whatever. That's how I would do it.
Okay, hold on. They're throwing Batman, Wonder Woman (horribly miscast), Doomsday AND Martian Manhunter into Superman 2? Good LORD. Leave something for Justice League, seriously.
Crap I forgot to post that this morning. That's a fucking great trailer. Godzilla looks like a mix of the original and the Matthew Broderick version...which is how he should have looked in that movie. Anyway, the scream at the end is probably the best thing of all time in the history of things.
I recommend Blue is the Warmest Color. English or French version, no need for sound anyway.Is there realy any value to it besides lesbian scene(s)?
Barry Allen was introduced on Arrow last night. uptick in ratings for the night. Character intro was successful and backdoor pilot episode has been moved into full solo-pilot episode.

1. Casting for Iris West is be for an African American actress
2. She is Barry Allens best friend and secret love interest.
3. She is a Psych Major and her dad is a Police Detective
4. They took in Barry when his mother was killed and father wrongly accused of murdering her
5. ......?
6. Wally West to be the first (half)Black Flash!?QuoteIRIS - 22-28 - African-American - As smart as she is beautiful, Iris is in grad school studying psychology. She's also Barry's mile a minute, fast-talking, quick-witted best friend. Her father, Detective West, took in Barry when his mother was murdered, and his father was wrongly accused and imprisoned for her murder. In a tough childhood for Barry, she was the one "not tough" thing. She's unaware of Barry's strong feelings for her.
DETECTIVE WEST - Late 40s to Early 50s - African American -Detective West is an honest, blue-collar cop who's seen it all. A soulful, funny caring father to Iris, and a surrogate father to Barry, West came up through the foster system himself. He took in Barry after his mother's murder and his father's imprisonment. He believes in Barry and supports Barry's efforts to prove his father's innocence.
The Flash pilot is being handled by some of the same people responsible for Arrow, so high hopes are had.

At about the 4:50 mark of the Cross The Streams podcast (click here to listen), Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson discussed his upcoming projects. "In the meantime there's a spin-off of Arrow called Flash," he said. "I'm meeting the creators next week. So, I have to prepare for that." When asked which role he was up for, Hudson replied "His adoptive dad,...or the dad of..."
Before Hudson could disclose any further information, he decides to cut himself off as to not reveal too much. "His (Barry Allen) dad has a problem," is the final morsel of info that slips from his lips. And based on Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) debut in CW's Arrow we know that Barry's father was incarcerated for the murder of Barry's mother. So, if we take Ernie Hudson's information, and a casting call that Bludhaven Banter posted it's pretty safe to assume that Hudson is up for the role of Detective West, Iris' father.

The frontrunner for Luthor is apparently all Black Men. 8)
After already reaping notice for his performance in “Her,” Joaquin Phoenix could be working with Warner Bros. again on the studio’s biggest property.
Sources tell Variety that the studio wants the Oscar-nominated actor for a role in the upcoming untitled Batman-Superman pic. However, it’s very early in the process and even if Warners offers Phoenix a role, it’s not clear he would accept as the actor has steered clear of big-budget pics in the past few years, leaning towards movies with a more prestige feel.
[...]
Though sources couldn’t confirm what the role is, it’s believed to be for the main antagonist, which is likely to be Lex Luthor. Names like Jason Momoa and Callan Mulvey have been linked to the film but even if those actors are cast, sources are saying that they wouldn’t play the main villain, and that Warners has always wanted someone who would be a slam dunk in the role.
Warner Bros. is bringing Argo writer Chris Terrio into the Batman-Superman universe.
The Oscar-winning writer, who recently changed agencies from CAA to WME, has been brought in to write a draft of the Man of Steel follow-up, Batman-Superman.
Terrio has a strong relationship with the studio and the film's star Ben Affleck. Affleck directed and starred in Argo, which won last year's best picture Oscar for Warners.
[...]
David Goyer wrote the screenplay, which is based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (Superman) and Bob Kane (Batman). But sources say Terrio has been brought in to get the script in shape before filming begins. Goyer has been tied up with a number of other DC Comics titles including Sandman.
Do you really want Seagal? He gave up on himself well before people gave up on him. There are plenty more action heroes you could dig up instead of using UFC fighters especial if Kelsey Grammer gets counted. Reb Brown, Sam Jackson, Kate Beckensale, Venessa Williams, Kevin Sorbo, Lucy Lawless, Kevin Spacey just off the top of my head.

"We just had a big meeting w/ Warner Bros CEO re: @DCComics 2014," Johnson responded to a fan asking if he'd ever play a comic book character. "[W]e will partner up and create the cool bad assert."
I don't think The Rock has really played a part that makes me think he be a good pick for John.
He (Quicksilver) will also be in Avengers 2 along with Scarlet Witch.
They are mutants, but were Avengers first, so they slipped through the loophole.
I'm guessing FOX didn't have enough room or time to squeeze in Scarlet Witch too... otherwise why not. Quicksilver wasn't added until after Marvel announced they were using Quick and Scarlet in the next movie.
A trusted source says that the unnamed DC film that Dwayne Johnson will be working on in 2014 will, indeed, be a Justice League movie. That’s not all, though, because this has folks wondering how the JL movie can be underway in 2014, when WB/DC are in full-swing production of BvS. Well, the current thought amongst some insiders is that Batman vs Superman and Justice League are going to be shot back-to-back, ala The Hobbit films, the Pirates of The Caribbean sequels, and the latter two Matrix flicks.
Why?
- To maximize everyone’s schedules. Ben Affleck is a busy man, Henry Cavill is in-demand, and Johnson is a workaholic. Not to mention Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and the rest of the unannounced cast are no slouches either.
- Because Batman vs Superman is going to end with an insane cliffhanger/teaser that leads right into Justice League and, like those other back-to-back productions, they want to be able to deliver the second film within a year to strike while the iron is hot. Could this very aggressive approach be how DC intends to pull the rug right out from under rival Marvel Studios? Sure could be.
This would also explain the abundance of characters we keep hearing linked to BvS, and should also soothe the fears of folks that think it’s going to be too loaded a film. In essence, all this talk of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Flash, Green Lantern, etc might all just be leading to a single gigantic group cameo before the credits roll, starting a fever pitch of anticipation for Justice League in 2016.
As usual, take this with a grain of salt. It’s an idea that’s been formulated using a combination of insider information and good old fashioned speculation from folks who’ve been in the game a long, long time. Not to mention, the logic seems to pan out.
and in other news. Man of Steel 2 news that is.
Rumor/Insider Speculation has it that Justice League will be filmed back to back w/ Man of Steel 2 aka Batman vs Superman, much like The Hobbit Trilogy, which would account for all these characters being cast.

other news at the link states that Jason Momoa says he is not in the movie
and Josh Halloway (Lost) may be up for the role of Aquaman... but TV commitments may interfere with that.
Bah. No Joker origin story ever. I like him just being there.
Bah. No Joker origin story ever. I like him just being there.
Origin story is OK by me, just don't make it a 'tragic' one where we are meant to sympathize with him. That is more where they can ruin the origin story. Original Burton Batman flick did it alright.
Warner Bros. has pushed production on the untitled “Superman-Batman” to the second quarter of this year and it will now be released on May 6, 2016.
The Peter Pan origin story “Pan” is being put in its place on July 17, 2015. “Superman-Batman” will now square against an unknown Marvel film which Marvel has still not announced yet.
The film is still in pre-production with Henry Cavill set to star alongside Affleck, and Zack Snyder is on to helm.
In a statement, Warners said the decision was made to “help fully realize the vision.” Warners is still casting the film including the main villain role which sources tell Variety is still in Joaquin Phoenix’s court.
This marks another film to leave what was turning out to be a very crowded 2015 summer with “Pirates of the Caribbean 5″ and the new “Star Wars” each moving out of the frame.
It will now bow on Mothers’ Day weekend and is playing chicken with Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse which comes only a week after. Talk about pushing a monster on your tail end. As it stands now, it will be Superman/Batman, X-Men the following weekend and followed quickly by The Amazing Spiderman 3 from Sony.
Looks like Deathstroke finally makes an appearance in the next episode of Arrow.

Jurrassic World is the new movie. Look it up.
They get the park up and running like a Disney Land, it takes place 20 years after the original (modern day today), a new type of dinosaur isn't with the program though, and all hell breaks loose. Those are the only details I remember at this point. other than Velociraptors are supposedly tames and so are the T-Rex's.

Rumor: Supposedly someone broke the Batfleck and now production was halted for at least 6 weeks until he recovers, which pushes the movie into 2016 instead of late 2015.
but if that's not it, remember that the script was getting the "once over" by the Argo writer, and then ontop of that there was the rumor that they were going to do Justice League back2back, so it might be a script overhaul that is causing the delay.
and pushing into May 2016 puts it in direct competition with the following movies:QuoteIt will now bow on Mothers’ Day weekend and is playing chicken with Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse which comes only a week after.

That's a helluva sandwich. But atleast they aren't going up against the Juggernaut Avengers 2.
Its probably both, its even more clear that they will probably shoot both movies at the same time since thats Warner's MO these days.
Plus when you look at the edict that Warner wants to push they probably have two low budget DC related films to try to push for next year.

Now that there are some production issues with Bats vs Supes, and a rewrite/fine-tuning of the script has been ordered, apparently there were some layoffs and one of those people leaked the supposed script (pre-rewrite of course)

I'm not sure how legit this is, and the poster of this over at GAF claims no confirmation other than it came from someone he knows that used to work on the movie.

Whats' the deal with the cod piece and 2 balls. Also them Abs.
BURBANK, CA, January 31, 2014 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Jesse Eisenberg has been set to star as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Zack Snyder untitled Superman/Batman film. The dual announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Snyder stated, “Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman’s rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940. What’s great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He’s a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions.”
The director added, “As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne’s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure. He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious façade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.”
Snyder’s film stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. The film also reunites “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.
The new film is currently being written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.
The film is set to open worldwide on May 6, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.
Disney is developing a live action film that will star its animated chipmunks Chip ‘n’ Dale.
Project will serve as an origin story for the Rescue Rangers, a team of detectives and crime fighters that also includes the mic Gadget Hackwrench and Monterey Jack and fly, Zipper.
The film is in early development with commercials director Rob Rugan writing the script, sources confirmed to Variety. Rugan, who is attached to direct “Genies” at Paramount, is also adapting book series “The Genius Files” at Warner Bros.
“Muppets Most Wanted”-producer Mandeville Films and Television’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce.
Project is essentially Disney’s version of Sony’s “Smurfs,” Fox’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “Garfield” films, which inject cartoon characters into live action settings.

I believe Bay retconned his script to take all references to aliens out due to public backlash.
then issued a statement that they were still mutants.

He spent years of working on my WWE story lines & Rock monologues. Then years of being on every movie set with me learning the film business from top to bottom. Today, he's one of the best and most sought after producers in Hollywood. Brilliant, relentless and one big motherf*cker!

The Black Cop from Law & Orders now plays The Black Cop on The Flash.

I've never been a big fan of The Flash, and I remember the TV show that aired back in the early 90's, but I'm really looking forward to this series thanks to Arrow.
Deadline reveals that Candice Patton (The Game) has joined the cast of The CW's The Flash pilot. The series is set to debut this fall, and will feature a fully suited up Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) solving crimes in Central City as he attempts to uncover the truth behind the death of his mother. According to the site, Patton "will play Iris West, Allen’s fast-talking, quick-witted best friend who is also the daughter of Detective West (Martin), who serves as a surrogate father to Barry." Patton joins the recently cast Rick Cosnett (Detective Eddie Thawne) and Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow). How do you guys feel about this news? Sound off below!
UPDATE: Variety is reporting that Broadway’s Carlos Valdes is set to play, "mechanical engineering genius Cisco Ramon (DC Comics fans might know him better as Vibe)." That's all we know for now, while it's unclear whether or not there are any other major roles left to be cast. Barry Allen's father and his bosses at Central City PD certainly seem likely...
I might have to get on this Arrow train.
Dr. Doom is said to be the villain of the reboot (the character appeared in Fox’s two previous movies and was played by Julian McMahon). The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision is hearing that the studio is likely to go for a big name and isn’t ruling out switching genders for the role.

Welcome to Gotham, bitch!
Southland/O.C. vet Ben McKenzie will play the lead role of a young Commissioner Detective James Gordon in Fox’s upcoming Batman origin series, TVLine has learned.
Exec-produced and penned by The Mentalist‘s Bruno Heller, the one-hour drama promises to explore the origin stories of Commissioner Gordon and the DC Comics villains that made Gotham famous.
Last month at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Fox president Kevin Reilly confirmed that Gotham will also follow a young Bruce Wayne’s journey to becoming Batman.
“This is all of the classic Batman characters, with a young Bruce Wayne, the Penguin, the Riddler [and] how they came to be,” he explained. “What events led up to [someone] becoming Catwoman…. all with Gotham teetering on the edge.
“This is not some adjunct companion series,” he added. “This is the Batman franchise, just backing it up [in chronology].”
In Gotham, Gordon is college football star and war hero turned rookie detective with the Gotham City Police Department. He’s idealistic “to the point of naiveté,” driven by a desire to live up to the standards of a father he barely knew, but he’s also “brave, energetic, and honest,” with a keen intelligence and an alpha-male ambition.
Though Gotham centers around Gordon, it also serves as an origin story for the city itself and for its most famous residents. That includes Bruce Wayne, who’ll be a 12-year-old boy at the start of the series, as well as the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, and Catwoman are expected to appear.
The current plan is to end the series with Bruce putting on the famous cape and becoming Batman. As Fox president Kevin Reilly put it at the TCA winter press tour, “We will follow Bruce Wayne right up until the point where he gets interesting.”
How is the series going to focus on Gordon, in Gotham, but also follow Bruce Wayne as he travels around the world under assumed names training for his war on crime?
Also, how is this series going to tell the origin of a bunch of characters who are generally portrayed as going-tights as a response to Batman?
"Oh, the gimmicks might be different, but you'd all be out there in some form or another bringing misery to Gotham."

I don't get it either, but even if they switch it up and make Batman the response costumed villains, they end the series right when Batman shows up.
They could just build up the villains in their 'pre-costumed' state. Show them as petty criminals, gangsters and drug lords. Tease their dances on the brink of insanity. Keep the overall story arc tight and succinct running at most 5 seasons. Then let all hell break loose in the closing of the series as Batman enters the scene and the crazed criminals come out in their true glory.
Make each pre-villain the main antagonist for an episode arc or two then show them getting locked up in Arkham Asylum. Then, at the end of the series, show some catalyst person (like the Joker) arrive and cause a commotion that sets them all loose in the city. Maybe something like Scarecrow's hallucinating drug is exposed to all of these characters. It is released in the prison and all of these crazed criminals are then pushed into crazy overdrive and unleashed on the city.
They could easily then launch a new Batman movie or a Batman TV series. I'd like to see a 'trilogy' of Batman shows. One can be the Pre-Batman, a second focuses on the standard Batman and a final one that is a live-action interpretation of Batman Beyond to some degree. Each series could be about three to five seasons long.

Agents of SHIELD makes it work
Harrison is described as a rock star in the world of physics and the mind and money behind Central City’s S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator. He becomes a pariah after his lab explodes. But he redeems himself when he discovers that his failed experiment accidentally created the world’s fastest man, The Flash
Robin Lord Taylor will play Oswald Cobblepot, or the man better known as DC Comics villain the Penguin. With the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Cobblepot is a low-level psychopath for gangster Fish Mooney, and hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanor.
Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler, will be played by Sean Pertwee. A tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London, Pennyworth has loyally served the Wayne family. Now, in the wake of their tragic deaths, he’s fiercely protective of the young Bruce Wayne — the boy who will eventually become Batman.
Additionally, Zabryna Guevara has been cast as Captain Essen, Detective Gordon’s boss at the Gotham City Police Department Homicide Squad. Essen balances the two worlds of police and politics with a Machiavellian skill that’s as much corporate litigator as cop. Erin Richards will play Barbara Kean, the fiance of Detective Gordon (McKenzie). A sophisticated emergency doctor, Kean stands by her husband amid the corrupt world of Gotham.
The CW’s The Flash pilot has booked the star of CBS’ single-season 1990 TV series The Flash — John Wesley Shipp — who played Barry Allen/The Flash. Shipp will guest star in the pilot in a “mystery role,” says Warner Bros. TV, “with the part intended to be a recurring guest star in series.” After his role on The Flash, Shipp later co-starred on The WB’s Dawson’s Creek.
The CW has ordered a stand-alone Flash pilot in addition to the embedded episodes in Arrow that introduced Grant Gustin as Allen. The show also stars Candice Patton, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin.

Is them being blood brother and sister really that important to the characters?Yes. Yes it is. If Memory Serves there are a few stories that rely on them being genetically related. Also Ben is the adopted member of the Fantastic 4 Family in the end. It just makes the whole dynamic weird. Its important for some parts that you instantly recognize that Jonny and Sue are siblings.
Would it make a difference if one or both were adopted?
I don't really care what they are doing for this movie as I have no interest in this being done by Fox, especially with this cast. I really wanted rights to covert, so I go into this movie with less than zero expectations, assuming it every really gets of the ground.

Sony Pictures is making big plans for its Spider-Man franchise and beyond. When the studio announced plans to move forward with a Venom spinoff and a Sinister Six film in addition to further adventures in the proper Spider-Man series, it became clear that the studio was keen on building its own mini-universe not unlike Marvel’s interconnected franchises. Now it appears that the plan involves releasing a new Spider-Man film every year for the foreseeable future. That begins with 2016’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which the studio has now confirmed that Marc Webb will indeed be returning to direct. Hit the jump for more.
The cast of “Gotham” is coming together, with Jada Pinkett Smith the most recent addition to Fox’s upcoming Batman series.
Pinkett Smith will play Fish Mooney — an original character you won’t find in the comics. Fish Mooney is described as “a sadistic gangster boss and nightclub owner” and will be a series regular.
“Fish Mooney’s got the street smarts and almost extra-sensory abilities to read people like an open book,” her official character description reads. “Imposing and hotheaded, she’s not one to be crossed.”

I love Spider-man as much as the next person, and Sony has a few good to decent(ly) entertaining Spider-man movies under it's belt, but forcing a yearly expansion.... I just hope they can atleast keep the quality at decently entertaining and not make us all hate Spider-man.
but also what if the Spider-man movies start to suck but something like Venom or Sinister 6 take off. Would that still count as a Spider-man movie? would that allow them to keep the franchise rights alive, even if they end up not focusing on Spidey or even using him at all?

and I don't know if any historical revisionism is going on. Recall that the leaked Comi-Con teaser (with the Oppenheimer quote) was basically proof of concept. It probably had nothing to do with the final film. The thing I love about this new trailer is that it's taking Godzilla's origin and turning it on its head a bit, and Ken Watanabe's scenes imply something else is going on, too.
ALSO, just so you all know, that's not New York, it's Las Vegas. This implies that Godzilla tears through San Francisco without much trouble and heads straight for Sin City. Stogi, it's three months away (May 16th). Just watch it. On a big TV, with the sound up, and the lights out. And grab some lube.
I want that image of Godzilla just laying in the water as a desktop background.

"Out on home video" who still says that?
leeding Cool already mentioned how, with David Goyer attached, Warners were looking at movie treatments for the likes of Suicide Squad, Booster Gold, Deathstroke, Team 7 and more.
Well, it looks like this will be DC Entertainment’s big news for 2014.
A series of lower-prominence comic books being turned into relatively lower budget movies.
Suicide Squad is one specifically mentioned as only needing a $40 million budget, pre-marketing. Some could be made for as little as $20 million.
And with two-a-year scheduled for Spring and Fall/Autumn, Warners can expand the Man Of Steel/Batman universe significantly, and make a decent profit in the process.
So… what comics do you want to get made at that level?
If they have a Deathstroke "Made for TV" Theater Released movie, then the Arrow crew better atleast have some of the storyline & rewrite duties if Goyer is involved.
It needs to stay true to the TV interpretation if this is TVverse related.

you need to get caught up too? you haven't seen any of Season 2 yet?
I’ve learnt from a rather well-connected source that, as the title says, Fox has dumped Fantastic Four director Joshua Trank and the script by Simon Kinberg and are actively looking for replacements. Six months before they are due to shoot, for 2015 release.
Oh, yes, and there are now casting issues from the studio too.
No I don’t know any more. Isn’t that enough?
I know. Maybe they could ask their Official Consultant, Mark Millar…
I don't get the hate the first Fantastic Four movie gets, it was a great movie, the sequel was a disaster though maybe it's just guilty by association? I hate how they are rebooting things too fast to keep up anymore.

I didn't hate the first movie, as I think Human Torch and the Thing were well cast and worked well together, but everything else was pretty forgettable.
The hate for Fox rebooting and trying to continue the franchise is that we want Marvel to have the rights back, mostly for Dr. Doom, and all their cosmic enemies (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Super Skrull & Annihilus), not so much the Fantastic Four team itself.

I am all for that but I don't get why there needs to be another movie, the first was a good movie adaptation i think some people want live action comic books instead of movies based on comic books.
Johnson: [Laughs] Can’t say that, but here we go. Here are three qualities. The first quality we were looking for was that he had to be extremely complex and have a lot going on. What that does for me as an actor and the studio is it gives us space that we can explore; his complexities. The other quality was that he had to — the character we were looking for had to be well-known but never brought to life. Then what that does again as an actor, it gives me a little bit of space, and we talked about personality. It just gives me a chance to put an imprint into his personality, with the set of tools that I could bring to the table and put a very unique twist on his personality, but still pay homage to who he is. The third thing — and most important — is he had to be a badass motherfucker, okay, and on a Superman level of power, where could throw down. In those three qualities, I’m happy we’ve found that character. Right now, we’re out to a lot of writers.

I would reference their "eventful" space trip in another movie, like a news broadcast of some specialized private research team heading out to space on an exploratory mission that went wrong. Then in the F4 movie I would start the movie with them having just come to terms with their abilities but still figuring out how to use them, then use quick flash backs to the incident to show the origin.Do it like Pacific Rim. Hit the Highlights to the point.
Meh - I took out the link, no religious discussion, but that God's Not Dead (even though it's fiction, like the subject matter) probably shouldn't be posted.

After testing actors over the past couple of weeks, Warner Bros. and DC have tapped theater actor Ray Fisher for the role of Cyborg in the untitled Batman-Superman pic.
Victor Stone or Cyborg, while not a major part in the Batman-Superman feature, is a member of the Justice League, and the role will become much more significant role as Warner and DC develop more films related to the Justice League universe, sources confirm.
Warner Bros. had no comment on this story.
Fisher joins the Batman-Superman cast that includes Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams.
Zack Snyder is directing from a script by David S. Goyer, based on a story by Goyer and Snyder. Production is currently under way in Michigan.
In the bonus feature on the recent “Man of Steel” homevideo release, Cavill, who plays Superman in the film, said there’s a great deal of promise in Cyborg as well as the fictional research facility S.T.A.R. Labs, which appears in several DC Comics.
“I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity,” Cavill said of the Cyborg character.
S.T.A.R. Labs was also the workplace of Justice League characters Professor Hamilton (played by Richard Schiff in “Man of Steel”) and the superhero Rampage, although it’s unclear whether the latter is involved in the Batman-Superman film.
Produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, the untitled Batman-Superman feature opens May 6, 2016.
Fisher, repped by ICM Partners, is more known for his theater roles including the Broadway play “Fetch Clay, Make Man,” in which he portrayed Muhammad Ali.
He was also one of the actors testing for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII.”
If DC wants to keep the ulta violence they need an ongoing series or DTV aimed at kids.

It's a about a kid who's dad dress up as a giant bat and is best friends with an Alien from another planet. It doesn't work for live action but I can suspend my belief for animation and comics.
The ultra violence is a bit off putting and it aucks that it means you can't show the younger kids the movies. I feel the same way about the Marvel Anime movies but at least we still have the Disney cartoons on the air. If DC wants to keep the ulta violence they need an ongoing series or DTV aimed at kids.
...Yes. I think Marvel is doing a good pacing of character intros.
I think if too many heroes are thrown in at once, the "average audience" isn't gonna be able to follow or keep up. There's people who love the Marvel movies who have never even touched a comic book. Those people are gonna have a bad time.
No I meant team ups, like Brave and the Bold, only not always someone paired with Batman.
Unless you are trying to say that JL Unlimited was all about the pairings of superheroes and not the full team dynamic.
It was also said that that Shazam movie is "unconnected" from the MoS universe. Not sure why they would even bother making a superhero movie that obviously fit into the universe, especially with a name as large as The Rock, outside of the MoS universe... that makes no sense to me.
I miss the Godzilla is a rubber suit. Also as much as I like the movies that put the G-man in a more antagonistic light like the orginal and the new film, I have to say i much prefer the campy godzilla who gets busy on barkley.

Godzilla was never the absolute antagonist and even in the new one he is not. What the new one and the original have in common is that Godzilla isn't just some campy monster. He's a force of nature. He's a symbol for the atomic bomb. That's why I cannot fucking wait for this movie, because they finally get it.
To clarify, I hate the campy Godzilla films.

Sony are apparently quite anxious to see how well the sequel performs, especially with a long running time and a whopping budget of $225 million (as well as around $190 million spent on marketing)

You figure with $0.50 on the dollar made at US theaters, and $415M spent on the movie and it's advertising (which practically showed the entire movie already).... to just make $415M domestic BO doesn't even come close to making it's money back. And for reference, the first Amazing SM made $262M domestic
It has 2 weeks till Godzilla and 2 more weeks after that till X-Men DoFP
China is expecting a large intake of BO, but US companies only get something like $0.25 on the dollar made, so they see even less back from Chinese theaters. I think Sony may have over extended themselves on this one... which wouldn't be good news for them since they already have a 3 more sequels in the works and the company as a whole is in the red. Spiderman is one of the few shining lights for Sony Pictures (James Bond being another tent pole), so seeing their "guaranteed" money maker, not make money by the truck load could be a problem.
I don't know (seeing it Sunday), but the mid-post credits confirm the Sinister 6.
There is no mid or post-credits scene that confirms that. It's only a fight sequence with Mystique in a Vietnamese camp. Nothing after or before confirms the sinister six

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”is written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.
They should take it a step further and make it Batman v Superman vs. Alien vs. Predator vs Freddy vs Jason vs Tucker & Dale vs Evil vs Godzilla vs Mothra.
“The Marvel universes – particularly Avengers and Iron Man – are… and it sounds defensive, and it is defensive, but only because people make comparisons between [X-Men: Days Of Future Past] and The Avengers, which is ludicrous.
“The Avengers is a mash-up of massive single character franchises of incredibly familiar characters and Iron Man. And did I mention Iron Man? Oh, and by the way – Iron Man.
“They are huge, colossal franchises that are peppered with all these other characters that are, again, extremely famous and so yes, Fox will at some point synergise [the X-Men] characters and that process is slowly beginning, but it’s very different than taking movies that gross close to a billion dollars and then pushing them together into these giant broad movies.
“If you want to give me Robert Downey Jr in a metal suit and have him join the X-Men, then yes, let’s go head-to-head [with Marvel Studios].”
Loss of confidence?
Why would he withdraw his name from this project and make money for doing nothing?
unless he didn't want his name attached to it. MoS wasn't exactly praised like his Batman Trilogy (not that I think it deserved most of it), so maybe he didn't want to further tarnish his IMDB page with credits to less than spectacular projects.
The trailer being two screens like that made watching it less enjoyable.

Meanwhile, if you were wondering why Batman v Superman was delayed, it wasn’t the script or Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenberg but with the fact that this pic will act as a launching pad for the Justice League. According to my source, “Like Marvel’s The Avengers, there will be cameos of superheroes for future installments. The cameos will include the already known Cyborg and Flash. Green Lantern [not played by Ryan Reynolds, thank god] may be introduced. And Aquaman will be seen in the Justice League movie. Problem is, Warner Bros Pictures was still negotiating with the actors for those cameos and future roles, meaning major contracts for multiple JL/character films to follow. The studio didn’t want to move forward until they had more of this secure so they held off starting production for a few months. Seemingly simple reason, but the implications are pretty darn huge.”
3 pics a year starting with BvS sounds a little over ambitious, and surely the beginning of the burst of the comic bubble. If that schedule held true, then DC would be flooding the pipe, and that does no one any good.

It doesn't seem fair to say something about DC doing three-films-a-year when Marvel has released an average of 2.8 films/year over the last 11 years. Sure, Marvel's been building up the Avengers universe, but that only accounts for about a third of the movies they've released.
But the only DC characters anyone cares about are Batman and Superman. The rest of those movies will not do well.
It may not be fair, but DC is coming into a market already dominated by "Marvel" movies. DC putting another 3 movies a year into the mix could be flooding the market and burst this little comic book movie thing we have going on.

ccording to sources, I'm hearing the studio is eyeing 2019 for the standalone Batman film and I even got a working title: THE BATMAN.
Let's break it down. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice League should be ending production in December, then they break for the holidays and go into production on Justice League in the winter of 2015.
Affleck then takes a break from donning the cape and in the summer of 2015, he writes, directs, and stars in his period gangster film Live By Night. The film's scheduled to hit theaters in October 2016. The studio has the time after Live By Night's release to develop the screenplay to the standalone Batman film ready to start production either in 2017 or 2018. It wouldn't surprise me if they actively start developing the script after Justice League or sooner.
I'm not too keen on the premise. Having "younger" versions of all the villains really just makes it "Batman Minus Batman". The Penguin is the only one who really makes sense to me since he's a mob-boss type villain. Catwoman being there just makes the future romance between her and Bruce creepy.
Also lol at BNM. If Ant-man and Shazam go head to head Shazam will stop all over it. The Rock's pull is way bigger than Paul Rudd especially if they play to his strengths unlike the Hercules movie coming out next month.
Yeah my bad. Anyway, the movie looks terrible. Shredder is not a robot (or a Samurai), the foot clan is not a group of domestic terrorists with guns, and the voices are just terrible. Michelangelo's is okay, but all of the other ones just sound like random humans. Shredder isn't even the main bad guy except for in the 1987 cartoon series (which admittedly I love and cherish). Can someone move these last few posts to the other thread? Pulling a tendoboy and derailing this thread...
I don't know why they didn't just continue on with the style in the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie.

No reason they wouldn't or couldn't. This is a live action film and there are many other instances of live action and animated films releasing for the same property. They could do it to ride on the interest this film will bring to the franchise.
The pilot for the flash is really good.

It was pretty good, and I'll be tuning in for sure, not that I wasn't already, but now I'm much more confident in that decision.
The Arrow cameo was CHE EEE SSEEEY "Coool!" Hopefully they reshoot that scene before it airs again.
That Grodd reference!! oh ****, I would love to see how they pull that one off.
and the walking cripple Dr. with access to a newspaper from the future!? I'm not into DC comics, so I'm not very familiar with all things The Flash. Anyone care to speculate based on comic knowledge?
Those are some cool character designs.
The Hollywood Reporter has run an interview with Fox's President of Production Emma Watts, who has revealed some interesting details about the studio's other big comic book-based properties. Chief among them, while discussing what's in store for 2015's big superhero reboot, Watts was asked if we can expect to have the movie to have the "same found-footage feel" as Chronicle, which was given a very affirmative answer:
"It's Josh, so it can't not have that feel. That's his talent, that's what he does, and that's what excites him about it. It is a really interesting young cast [Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell], and he is the magnet that's brought them all together."
Of course, this doesn't mean that we can expect that The Fantastic Four will be filled with characters running around with handicams and narrating the story all from off screen. Instead, what I imagine Watts is referring to is instead a visual style similar to what Paul Greengrass has established, using a good amount of hand-held camera work to lend the movie the feel of a docu-drama. There are a few critics of this visual style - both within the found footage genre and outside - due to the fact that some people get nauseous watching too much hand-held, but there are certainly films where that aesthetic works to the story's advantage.
You can't do doom without the F4. His character traits are mostly about getting revenge and one upping Reed. I mean he's the godfather to Reed and Sue's daughter and isn't that bad of a person. He's just as much of an ass you'd expect a royal genuis dictator to be.Richard is not key to Dooms Origin. It is key for him to have a rival. Someone he thinks that shafted him. Unlike some other origins that is relatively easy to shift to another character.
Also for all the talk of world conquest in the comics Dooms biggest achivememt was being able to save reeds daughter's life when reed himself couldn't even do it.
I'm just going to say - a F4 movie won't ever work.
The Fantastic Four are, in essence, "The First Family of Comics". They've tried mixing up the comic by swapping out characters here and there, but it always comes back to A man, his best friend, his girl and his girl's brother. A tight, close knit, group. The adventures and battles they have are the side-story. This isn't the kind of thing you can grow, shape and mold in a 2-hour movie *and* fully develop a villain *and* fully develop conflict between the two *and* make us care about both sides enough to be invested in what's actually going on. Even something like X-Men, the focus is put on Wolverine and the others are thrown in to the background - and all you have to do here is build the characters - Fantastic Four really requires that you build the characters *and* build their family dynamic into the picture. Sure, in X-Men, you have to establish Wolverine's relationship with Rouge, then Jean Grey, then Professor X, then Cyclops, then Storm... but what about Professor X and Storm? Rogue and Cyclops? They don't really interact much. But, to make the Fantastic Four work, you have to show each of the characters interacting with each of the characters to develop this family that we're supposed to care about.
Ia it me or does he look like...really short?
For the love of all things good, stop it with the damn origin stories.
F4 doesn't work because it's fundamentally boring and bullshit. When you have Reed build an Ultimate nullifier out of his ass you just know even the writers don't give a ****.
They also share a problem I have with the X-men, their powers are so singular and uncreative to the point that you can't do anything interesting with them. Cyclopes is the most easy example of this, he shoots or he doesn't shoot. Unless you count his powers of being a dick, that's all he's got. Its why in all the movies they keep picking Wolverine as the focus point, compared to everyone else he is multifaceted and more importantly, easy to write for.
They could have picked Storm, but her powers are more grand and hard to use in a budget effective way like slapping plastic on to some hands. Throw in the fact they ditched her African origins and cast Hallie Berry showed they had no confidence or ability to write for such a character which is basically anything not a white straight male with varying levels of gruffness.
It doesn't help I am burned out on super hero movies since it is pretty much watching the same movie over and over again while taking crazy pills.

1st Villian of Arrow S3 has been announced: a NEW Count Vertigo (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Arrow-Vertigo-Peter-Stormare-1083968.aspx) <- Spoiler in the link
I have no knowledge of the Green Arrow outside of the few cameos he has made in certain Batman shows so I did not know he was a staple of 'Arrowverse'.
I don’t think I’ve seen this posted yet: coming this summer to FX, Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain!
The series will premiere on July 13th. Really looking forward to this series. The books were entertaining. It's about time we had a good and scary vampire movie again. The vampires are treated more like a dangerous, contagious virus, which makes for an interesting twist. And it's del Toro!

So, BBC, we need to have a tiny chat. How the hell did someone get away with leaking the scripts for HALF OF THE 8TH SEASON OF DOCTOR WHO!!This is the company that destroyed the film of popular shows when Video started becoming a thing after keeping them so long. Who Knows?
Oh, well Emmy, Grammy, golden globe. All award shows I don't watch. All the same to me.
One day I'll watch that.Oh, well Emmy, Grammy, golden globe. All award shows I don't watch. All the same to me.
After Tatiana Maslany was snubbed in Orphan Black again she now playing a transgendered clone, on top of all of the other clones - thats at least eleven i think the Emmy's are really a waste of time.
Wentworth Miller has been cast as Captain Cold in the flash. One rouge down about six to go.I can't wait till that series gets on Netflix.
BnM is a poor Marvel (MCU) junkie, confirmed.
Isn't there a DC Movie thread? Should we put DC stuff in the Marvel thread? Anyway, The Rock basically confirmed he's playing Shazam.If he plays Shazam I wonder who his counterpoint would be. To do Shazam you need 2 actors.
They confirmed this? Poor move. I wonder if CW is throwing it's weight around to keep more control and that is why they are separating DC between the movies and TV series. Would have been a great way to draw TV fans into theatres.
plus the new DC logo is awesome especially how they change it depending on what its being used for.
Really Man of Steel is much better than Medicore, hell I liked it more than both Marvel movies form last year. (though I know i'm in the minority there.), plus the new DC logo is awesome especially how they change it depending on what its being used for.

But he has a point. It really doesn't make sense to repeat itself so many times in just the logo.
Sorry - when I see "DC", I think "Detective Comics". I don't say it out loud, but it's like if I read "US", I think "United States."
Finally, you added that DC Comics has to write Comics in the logo? Why is this for clarity for patient or copyright? If so then your argument is kinda silly...just like the logo may be.
I've heard of client-patient confidentiality, but never patient-copyright laws ;)

While patient/copyright laws (or, in this case, I'm guessing it's more of a trademark issue) can be difficult to figure out, I'm inclined to think that's not the case here since every logo since the beginning of DC was able to leave out the "comics" part. :D
The extended trailer for Star Wars: Rebels.
It looks good and it really echoes the OT or more importantly a new hope. I'm guessing all the star wars film rumors about Luke are wrong hence why we have a book and a series that's introducing new force wielders. Either that and the rumors are true and we don't see the creation of the NJO until the end of episoide 7.
edit: If were making a DC thread should we do another Star Wars one as well.
- Neil and Bruce got two pitches, one from Clint Culpepper at Screen Gems and one from Sam Raimi- Neil said when they met with Sam he "really got it"
- They got greenlight from Screen Gems to write the film themselves: Neil's writing the script for the movie
- Movie won't come out for a couple of years
- They expect it to be very true to the game, but they have to make changes to make a 15 hour game fit into a movie
- They talked about a different ending among various changes
- The movie will focus on the relationship between Joel and Ellie
- Answering a question, they say they might use elements from the Left Behind DLC
- Maisie Williams is being considered for Ellie
- Bruce Campbell sorta brought up as a joke, someone suggests him for David (NOT casted for Joel)
- Neil thinks the "ambush" would make for a great scene in the movie
- They're creating new scenes to glue some of their favourite game scenes together
- Neil doesn't want to the movie to be a poor imitation of the game, thinks it's good to have strong actors who bring their own interpretation to the characters
- Sam said he won't be directing, Neil will be in charge of selecting director
Is there really a big market for this, though? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing with the widest appeal, and the best case scenario would seem to be a rehash of the story from the game, which I imagine most of the people who'd be interested in this have already played.
It starts with thunder and rain, as a hand pulls a tarp off of something… it’s Ben Affleck’s Batman on a Gotham City rooftop, and he’s in the full bat-armor from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. His eyes are glowing white, and we see that what he’s pulled that tarp off of is the bat-signal. He turns the signal on and the famed bat symbol fills the sky… but then we see it’s aimed at something. At a man floating in the sky. A super-man! Cut to a close-up of Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel as his eyes start to glow with heat vision. Cut back to Batman whose eyes are still glowing white. It’s the stare down of all stare downs! Cut to the title screen: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/26/sdcc-2014-batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-teaser-revealed
The crowd of course went wild, but even more so when Snyder then brought Affleck, Cavill, and even “our Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot. No questions or discussion -- just the four of them standing together up there for our earliest look at the Big Three together.
They released another version of the arrow trailer. This time with more Ra's
Gal is still too skinny to be WW. I don't know how casting works. Alexandra Daddario was genetically modified to look like Wonder Woman, for Arceus' sake.
You don't need an origin story for each monster...if they do that, I will be upset. I think they need to just establish Monster Island. Sure it is an insane concept and extremely Japanese...but so is Godzilla. Just Create a monster Island...people accidentally stumble across it, and fear from man's encounter with Godzilla leads them to do a full scale attack which fails. And the monsters rampage and attack.
In the process someone has the bright idea to try and summon Godzilla to save Earth.
Bam basic movie outline is done.
3rd Movie go for Mecha-Godzilla, but have it not be created by man but created by the alien race or something.
Do you guys remember that Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds that we were all so eagerly anticipating regardless of how bad X-Men Origins was?
Some test footage of it has leaked, making it hurt even more that it's likely to never happen as it was written (or at all)
EXCLUSIVE: Having pushed the next installment of its Spider-Man franchise out of 2016 and into 2018, Sony Pictures is doing a top-to-bottom revamp of its most important property, insiders say. And that includes a female superhero movie which is being eyed for a 2017 release date, Deadline has learned.
get ready for the power of the women from the Spider-Man universe. Which characters they will develop is up for speculation, but we know that Lisa Joy Nolan (Westworld) has been hired to script and that again Arad and Tolmach are producing. There are several strong possibilities — Silver Sable, Black Cat, Stunner, Firestarter and Spider-Woman, to name a few.
It was only a matter of time that someone would announce a female superhero movie — and it happens to be Sony who is the first out of the gate. So who are these superhero women possibles? I’m no comic book geek so I’ll do the best I can.
Spider-Woman is known in the comics as Charlotte Witter, a fashion designer who is genetically altered by Dr. Octopus. Silver Sable has virtually no superhuman powers but is an adept fighter, skilled in martial arts and sword play who wears a lot of techno gizmo weaponry. Black Cat was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as Felicia, Harry Osborn’s assistant, and was played by Felicity Jones; she is also a trained fighter and acrobat. Stunner was a video store clerk who ended up getting a makeover by Dr. Octopus to make her a powerful evil.
This is a wise move for Sony because it’s capitalizing not only on the audience’s changing appetite, but also the studio is digging into its powerful asset base and mining other characters — thereby extending the asset and keeping the rights.

The DC movies that are expected to fill this ambitious pipeline include Zack Snyder‘s “Justice League,” standalone spinoffs for Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman, as well as a “Shazam/Black Adam” movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a “Sandman” movie that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is producing and may star in.
It makes me wonder why there isnt a Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo Cinematic Universe.
Iron Man proved Metroid (the Prime trilogy) would work as a movie series.
Nintendo is still stuck in the 90's.
They are just now thinking about diversifying their portfolio as Wu-Tang Financial so eloquently explained we all need to do back late 2000's.
Imagine a high budget TLoZ trilogy based in high fantasy like LotR/Hobbit
Or a thriller/adventure/horror in a Metroid movie the vein of Alien meets Ironman meets The Descent.
I bet the games would sell alot better as they would have expanded the awareness far outside of the small gaming audience it draws now.
Had anyone seen TMNT yet?LIterally just wrote a review in the other movie thread.
I hear it's terrible as a movie, but much fun for kids.
Well anyway, the sequel has been announced.
TMNT 2 - June 03, 2016
The weekend after X-Men: Apocalypse
Will Beall, who wrote 'Gangster Squad,' and Kurt Johnstad, who wrote '300: Rise of an Empire,' are tackling two separate scripts for Warner Bros.
The scribes are writing — separately — scripts for Aquaman, one of the installments in Warner Bros.’ multimovie scheme to create a cinematic universe based on the DC Entertainment characters.
Aquaman is being developed on dual tracks, where studios and producers hire two separate writers to work on the same project in the hopes of getting the best version. The practice allows for release dates to be set while a project is still in development while giving it a muscular push. Warners needs just that as last week it dated nine untitled DC movies between 2016 and 2020.
Warners is not revealing which one of those will be Aquaman, but the first untitled DC movie is due for release on Aug. 5, 2016, with two more due in 2017, on June 23 and Nov. 17, respectively
This will ruin Khal Drogo's career. Instead of casting him, they should just not make this movie.

Get Jennifer Garner in Dawn of Justice and we'll have an Elektra reunion.
On the heels of the success of Arrow and the strong buzz for its upcoming offshoot The Flash — both co-created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti — the top producer is looking to transition another popular DC superhero character to the small screen. I’ve learned that Berlanti has teamed with Ali Adler, who worked on his ABC series No Ordinary Family, for a TV series based on Supergirl. Warner Bros. TV, which is behind all DC TV series, will produce with Berlanti’s studio-based Berlanti Prods..
I hear the project, which is still in development, will be a new interpretation of the Supergirl character and her story. Adler will write the script and will executive produce with Berlanti Prods.’ Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. DC’s Geoff Johns, who has been involved in both Arrow and The Flash, is also expected to be part of the project but it is unclear at this time what his role will be. The Supergirl show doesn’t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, includingSuper and Girl. The project is expected to be taken out in a couple of weeks and pitched to the major networks the way WBTV and DC did with their high profile Batman prequel Gotham, which landed at Fox with a big commitment. The Supergirl series had been in the works at WBTV for some time with Berlanti and Adler. Contrary to a report that was picked up by a number of outlets, Michael Green has had no involvement in the project.

So, Deadpool is finally happening. Feb 12, 2016
I think Deadpool has great potential, but having Zach Morris-Saved By The Bell-moments would ruin it. Perhaps he can be omnipotent and know what is going on with all the X-Men (and even the world that was changed by Wolverine going back), but if he said stuff like "Hey, I know this is a movie, watch me kill this guy," then it would ruin the experience of actually watching the movie, and it would ruin any other movies that he would be in.
He could break the fourth wall without actually knowing its a movie. He just assuming there is someone for him to quip to. Much like how people talk with God.I think Deadpool has great potential, but having Zach Morris-Saved By The Bell-moments would ruin it.

That's not his whole shtick, that's just a part of his character that gets overused in video games.
"Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-el escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."
That's not his whole shtick, that's just a part of his character that gets overused in video games.
That's completely false, but whatever. He was doing that long before he had a video game.

Wait, so there's going to be a Flash movie? That's going to get mighty confusing if the TV universe is ignored for this.
Honestly, it is not a big deal. Nobody is really looking and paying attention to this announcement, and nobody will truly care one way or another. So then why announce it...I dunno honestly, probably because Warner Bros movies wants to take some attention off of the big news of Captain America 3.
Warner Bros management has been pretty stupid for several years. They don't look at their products and IPs as a whole and instead look at each division as independent. DC comics, Television, Animation, and Movies...are all kinda run separate of each other, and they don't work well together. If they would get over themselves and realize they NEED to work well together, and stop this old mind set in media about Television vs. Movies and whatnot maybe they could actually make great movies and television. The only problem is the movie management would screw it up.
At least the Television side gets it. The Arrow and The Flash are going to be successful. Gotham not so much, and anything else brewing...I don't think so. However, if they can successfully get the Arrow and The Flash moving forward for a few seasons, and spin them off into a Justice Society show, or a Young Justice Show, then They can introduce new shows about other characters every 3 years or so and keep popularizing DC characters into the mainstream. Even the CW gets it...with allowing for shows that perform with lower ratings to complete their seasons and continue.
The Flash has been a huge hit for The CW, and after record breaking ratings for the premiere, the second episode showed no signs of showing down. One of the best parts about the series is the fact that it feels so similar to the comic books, and this was something Geoff Johns believes its success can in part be attributed to. "I felt like "Smallville" had shied away from the comic book stuff a little bit, but then as the seasons went on, obviously it got to that place," he told the site about how The Flash differs to other comic book TV shows. "With "Arrow" it was more grounded, but it got to that place with Deathstroke, and it felt like it was the next step of comic book television shows. When we were doing "Flash," it was like, "You know what, he's going to have a red costume, he's going to be called 'The Flash,' the world's going to know about him, we're going to do the Rogues, we're going to do Grodd." There were pictures that were leaked online of Reverse-Flash. People were like, "Oh, it's so soon!" Well, yeah, because this is our chance to do a "Flash" TV show. And if this is our chance to do a "Flash" TV show, we're going to put everything we can into it. And I don't mean shoving characters in there, but embracing what it is."
Apparently Robin is in BvS and is a female played by Jenna Malone

James will make an important movie for New Line and Warner Bros or DC, and that is definitely part of the plan, and a reason for bringing him into the family. He’s the only overall director with a deal here, because we see him as a class of one.All DC Movies are WB, and Shazam is the only WB movie that is produced by New Line.
The CW has given full season orders to The Flash and Jane the Virgin.
The network picked up both of its freshman dramas for the rest of the season. “We have had a fantastic start to our season this year, with The Flash launching as our most-watched series premiere ever, and Jane the Virgin recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country,” said Pedowitz.
Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer premiers after Marvel's Agents of Shield next week.
Why does an actual cloud appear under the truck when it hits that dude?
Looking at that I doubt they are using a ramp. They are probably using a directional explosive which is where all the smoke is coming from.Why does an actual cloud appear under the truck when it hits that dude?
to mask the SFX -the ramp the car flipped on-?
p.s. That is a scene from Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD - The Absorbing Man
oh, and for all of you looking for a reason to check out Gotham (it's campy, but entertaining)She reminds me of Penny from Lost in Space.

When Ben Edlund joined the writing staff of the Batman prequel show Gotham some months ago, it was an encouraging sign. Besides creating The Tick, Edlund wrote some of the best Firefly, Angel and Supernatural episodes. And his first credited Gotham script is also excellent.
In fact, "Spirit of the Goat" is not just a terrific episode, it retroactively makes everything that's come before better by association. We caught an early screener of the episode the other day, and we're happy to report that it's a classic piece of Edlund-style weirdery. With so many great quotable lines and funny bits, the GIFs will basically create themselves.
Next week's Fish-free #Gotham, penned by #Tick mastermind Ben Edlund, is easily the series' best episode since its pilot!
but Fish Mooney is one of my favorites so far. :(
But as long a her lackey gets more screen time, I won't be mad.
edit: Some BvS news
2 Batmobiles + 2 Bat suits
both shoot missles and 1 has Kryptonite
discuss.
Casting is now underway — courtesy of the same folks who populated Arrow and The Flash — for CBS’ Supergirl series, and TVLine has details on exactly what (and who) the DC Comics-based drama is looking for in two of its lead roles.
For Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers, the show is eyeing Caucasian females, age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.
That means in this series Clark (Superman) would be around 12 years old.

Very solid episodes of Gotham, Flash and Arrow this week. Probably the best of this 2014/2015 season from each of them so far.
Gotham Best written episode so far, focused on Bullock the best character, Bullock. He gets to do some clever detective work and shoot a woman in the foot!
Flash Captain Cold was actually a cool villian (ho ho!) Wentworth miller played him perfectly. Good heavens, Felicity!
Arrow Daughter of the Demon is back, Laurel is angry, Roy is doing some flipping and Malcom Meryln is back in town and being awesome. Also, Past Ollie stabs a stranger in the heart like a psychpath
It's really REALLY hard to take Merlyn seriously because before he was Merlyn, he was Captain Jack Harkness and it's hard to take an evil archer seriously when only a few years back he would kiss or sleep with literally anything or anyone that walkedHey now, don't sell him short. They didn't have to be able to walk.
Has Felicity been working out? Her arms seem to be a bit more solid than before. Maybe that's just me :PI don't know in real life but it showed her starting to work out some because she was jealous of Mockingbird.

His physical presence was to get them in to see Falcone and show that the politicians, the mayor in particular, are cowards and firmly in the pockets of the mob. W/o the Mayor, they would never even have made it past the front gate guards undetected.
I like the character 2 face but they never, EVER get him right in the movies so I am not sure how they will handle him in this but its likely he won't even be a factor because Batman "creates" him so no Batman no 2 Face.
Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Margot Robbie are in various stages of discussions to star in “Suicide Squad,” which David Ayer is directing and Charles Roven is producing. Jesse Eisenberg is also expected to reprise his role as Superman's mortal foe Lex Luthor, though no casting is confirmed at this time.I guess there is nothing wrong with taking the MS route into
Batman doesn't create Two Face. The mob does. Harvey is a DA that partners with Batman and Commissioner Gordon to take out the mob no matter the cost. He has perfect evidence goes to trial and the mob attack him in the court. His "witness" betrays him on the stand...and everyone gets away with it. Harvey Dent is scarred for life. He realizes that justice is a joke when everybody can be bought, and he slowly goes insane. In many, versions this darkness was always a part of him but suppressed.
This story can easily be told without Batman. You can also, show Harvey Dent struggling with justice and his dark side for years. I really enjoyed the Dark Knight version of him...where he made his own luck with a 2 headed coin. It showed he already had an idea to cheat, but did it for justice.

and? Without Batman Harvey Dent wasn't going after the mob, so Batman still creates him, anyways without Batman on the scene Harvey doesn't turn two face so I didn't explain the details we ALL already know the FACT remains no Batman, no 2 Face. I never said you can't have Hervey Dent all I said was without Batman there isn's a 2 FACE, which is a fact damn. They can allude to it I never said they couldn't so what the hell is your reason for being so argumentative?

It's gonna be CRAPTASTIC!!!
Barry(Grant Gustin) is thrilled when Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell), Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) come to Central City to investigate a case involving a deadly boomerang. Excited about teaming up with his friend, Barry asks Oliver if he’d like to help him stop Ray Bivolo (guest star Patrick Sabongui), the meta-human Barry is currently tracking. Bivolo causes people to lose control of their emotions and has been using that skill to robbanks. Unfortunately, the superhero partnership doesn’t go as smoothly as Barry expected. When Oliver tells Barry he still has a lot to learn, Barry sets out to prove him wrong by attempting to stopBivolo alone. However, when Bivolo infects Barry and sets him on a rage rampage, everyone is in danger, and the only one who can stop him is the Arrow. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is furious when Eddie (Rick Cosnett) tries to get a task force to stop The Flash, Joe and Dr. Wells(Tom Cavanagh) agree the Arrow is a bad influence on Barry, and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a newteam in S.T.A.R. Labs.
"The Brave and The Bold"
Oliver (Stephen Amell), Arsenal (Colton Haynes) and Diggle (David Ramsey) track down the location of a boomerang-wielding killer named Digger Harkness (guest star) but are surprised when they come face to face with an A.R.G.U.S. team. Diggle asks Lyla (guest star) why A.R.G.U.S. is involved but she defers until Harkness attacks the building, killing several agents and targeting Lyla. The Arrow joins the fight and gets help from an old friend – The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin). Harkness manages to get away and Oliver teams up with Barry again to find him before he can get to Lyla. When Harkness plants five bombs in the city that are timed to explode at the same time, both teams must come together to save the city. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg, and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Grainne Godfree Schwartz (#308). Original airdate 12/3/2014.
I'm sorry, if you are going to call and episode "The Brave and The Bold" then it needs to channel Batman: The Brave and the Bold. In particular the Music Meister episode. (I put a Youtube in but I have no sound here so I can't pick the right one)
Has anyone been following season 3 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? The series has taken an interesting turn for the first 5 episodes.
Has anyone been following season 3 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? The series has taken an interesting turn for the first 5 episodes. Focusing on the Turtles away from New York and healing Leonardo back. They have basically spent 5 episodes so far showing that the battle for New York last season had real consequences. The relationships and change in dynamic is great, and Ralph is growing and becoming a leader himself. I am sure this will set up to another Ralph verse Leo battle in the future.
The other thing is they have been playing with pop culture references particularly horror movies and the show has this strange blend of dark humor with children's show action. There really isn't anything quite like it on television, and it is fun to see the creators taking their time with the story.
I am sure we will soon be moving back to New York. I am going to guess 2 more episodes, but as of right now, I have enjoyed this break.
The more I think about it the more I wonder why more lightsabers didn't have guards of some sort.
I would guess it is because lightsabers were designed to be more like a fencing sword that focuses on parrying, countering and lunging.But they are never used that way. Why use a Foil style design when your using the weapon for slashing style attack. Its just silly.
Every LotR fan knows that Balrogs don't have wings. WTF are you going on about?

I don't think Star Wars fans are any more particular than Star Trek fans. The difference is that the creators of Star Trek actually treat it like something that is supposed to have a consistent internal logic, or at least they did before 2009.
He's saying that Star Wars fans are more obsessive over Star Wars stuff than Star Trek fans are obsessive over Star Trek stuff. Unless you were trying to make a funny. In which case, I did not laugh. Not sure why I felt I should tell you my response but if I'm explaining one thing, I suppose I should fully explain the other.
Like Enterprise, the last two movies didn't exist. Its easier that way.

Enterprise got really good the last couple seasons, and the first two weren't any worse than the first two of any other Trek series. It gets a ton of **** it doesn't deserve.
I was just making fun of his wording. but really I think you are just holding a grudge due to my dislike of Arrow S3 so far. It's probably gonna get worse next week when they nerf Barry to allow Ollie to not become totally irrelevant by his own spin-off.

They don't have to nerf Barry. They have shown that Barry is over confident because of his Speed and makes foolish mistakes. He has also been shot already by a projectile weapon. As long as Arrow doesn't actually win by strength but by smarts then it will be fine.
I am kind of wanting to see Dumb and Dumber too but I haven't found the time yet.
Been watching Batman Brave and the Bold on and off and after seeing Arrow and Batman's interactions I would love to see it happen with this Arrow and Batman. Could be quite fun if done right.
I'm a bit late but that Star Wars trailer has highlighted the issue that has affected both F-Zero, Star Fox and Wipeout: the technology, only recently, has caught up to the grand idea that their respective universes wanted to put out.

Not really one of the trademarks of the OT was that it was a used universe and that came across well in the 70s.
According to GMA the voice of the trailer is Andy Serkis, and the lighstabee sound after the falcon comes from Luke's Blue light saber lost at the end of empire strikes back.

**** Shield......MACK NO!
Cool to see everything come to a head but I wish the finale was 2 hours.
Why are they making a Suicide Squad movie again?
It doesn't matter much because I'll see it anyway because Will Smith.

EXCLUSIVE: Fox is closing a deal with Ryan Reynolds for a feature on Deadpool, the character he originated in The Wolverine. The film, which Fox is making in conjunction with Marvel Studios, is being directed by Tim Miller, who has done strong visual effects work through his VFX house Blur Films. Miller has been developing the film for several years, from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, with Lauren Shuler Donner producing. Reynolds and other cast has posted photos of Deadpool on Twitter, so clearly this is going. Production begins in March.
Terminator Genesis is going into so bad its good. I can't believe how far the Terminator series has fallen. I am choking on bad corn.
You know, I like Terminator Salvation, and wished they had continued that series. I didn't mind moving the series to PG-13, as to me blood is not necessary for this story to be scary or ruthless.
The movie I didn't like was Terminator 3. I thought it was shallow, and I didn't care to see Judgement Day, because what that turned out to be was pretty uneventful.

This got me laughing. Yeah at least half of humanity disappearing in nuclear fireballs is uneventful.
Fear of blood and PG13 is a agrravating American movie cultural aberration that needs to die. It bloodless death reinforces violence without consequence. Yeah, in both cases the person is dead but without the blood the death is disconnected from reality. This is the culture that for some reason finds the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons offensive and refuses to make new classic BB cartoons, instead what we get is Two and Half Men: the cartoon or "Buzz Bunny".
Jai Courtney is Sam Worthington. Generally generic white dude with no charisma, completely interchangeable. They cast them as everyman or some jacked up version of one, but being flawless and flawlessly boring they don't represent a everyman like the one Bruce Willis in Die Hard brought to life. John Mcclane was great because we was flawed, he had issues to deal with before the violence, got injured in ways he didn't just walk off like he did in the later movies which were much closer to cartoons. It showed being a hero can seriously suck which made his triumph all the sweeter.
I thought he retired after the Arkham City game with the exception to Star Wars? Glad to see he still has it going. Too bad he couldn't play Joker in some series.
The last few months have been ones of re-invention for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Originally conceived as an action/adventure series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everything the show was supposed to be changed when the creative team learned it wasn’t long before S.H.I.E.L.D. would be no more thanks to the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Since then, the program’s been looking for ways to be its own entity while still paying respect to its big screen cousins, and thanks to Tuesday’s mid-season finale, it seems to have done just that.
What makes the episode truly stand-out as, quite possibly, the best episode of the series to date is its dramatic chops. Often, when S.H.I.E.L.D. has to tackle something serious that could drastically alter the lives of the team, it does so with puns and jokes to deflect from the gravity of the situation. However, nearly all of that’s gone in “What They Become” because the nature of the situation is so serious that jokes would simply feel inappropriate, and it’s that willingness to break from childish norm that allows the series to truly carry some dramatic weight.
In addition, the mid-season finale of Marvel’s grand television experiment also does something it has yet to, play in specific worlds before the films do. Of course it’s impossible to dive to heavily into what that means without venturing into major spoiler territory, but what can be said is where the episode goes in its final act is to a place few ever expected the series would dare. For the first time, it truly feels as if S.H.I.E.L.D.’s acting from a proactive position rather than the reactionary one we saw during all of its freshman season.
However, the dramatic shifting of the series comes from more than just a change in tone, but also status quo. Come the appearance of the final emblem in 2014 before the “post-credit scene,” audiences will be left uneasy and unsure of how to think in the best of ways. Truly, it will be a moment that makes people say, “wow, they actually did it.”
Krypton will focus on Superman’s grandfather, the father of Jor-El, and is set quite awhile before the planet explodes.
Per the official series description, “Years before the Superman legend we know, the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This series follows The Man of Steel's grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest Super Hero ever known.”
Goldberg is writing the pilot teleplay, based on a story conceived by Goyer & Goldberg.
Krypton would join a bevy of DC Comics series already on the air, across multiple networks, with more on the way. CBS is the home to another upcoming Superman-related series, Supergirl, which is now searching for a lead actress. Meanwhile, Titans is in development at TNT and a pilot could be filming next year according to DC's Geoff Johns.

“The Legend of Zelda,” one of the most popular videogame series of all time, is in the works as a television show at Netflix.
The video streaming service is in the early stages of developing a live action series based on “Zelda,” about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule, said a person familiar with the matter. As it seeks writers to work on the show, Netflix is describing it as “Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said.
The “Zelda” games have traditionally included swords and sorcery, like “Game of Thrones” or “Lord of the Rings,” but typically with a more light-hearted, kid-friendly tone.
Netflix is said to be working closely with Nintendo, the Japanese game developer that has made about 20 “The Legend of Zelda” games since the original, which was released in the U.S. in 1987.
Nintendo is very protective of its intellectual property and has allowed few adaptations over the years. An animated “Legend of Zelda” series ran for just one season in 1989. A 1993 movie based on Nintendo’s “Super Mario Bros.” was an infamous bomb.
As it is still seeking a writer to work on the series, Netflix has a long road to travel before a “Legend of Zelda” series actually becomes a reality. It’s also possible that Netflix or Nintendo will kill the project before it gets off the ground.
A Netflix spokeswoman declined to comment. A Nintendo spokesman said the company “doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation.”
Not sure if want. . .
Homeland star Morena Baccarin has nabbed the female lead in Deadpool, Fox's action movie based on the Marvel character.
Tim Miller is directing the action-adventure project, which stars Ryan Reynolds as an assassin who undergoes a procedure to cure his cancer that ends up leaving him twisted and scarred but also imbued with superpowers.
T.J. Miller and Gina Carano are already attached to the project, which is eyeing a March shoot and is slated for an early 2016 release.
Baccarin was one of a handful of actresses shortlisted for the role of Reynolds' character's love interest. The character grapples with falling for a man with a hideously scarred face.

Comic book power couple Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick are venturing into television with a two-year overall deal at Universal TV. Under the pact, the married duo will adapt some of their comic books as well as original TV series concepts. They also plan to use their Milkfed Criminal Masterminds production company as a TV launchpad for other comic creators’ IP.
One of the first projects the company is developing under the Uni TV deal is an adaptation of the Eisner Award- and Harvey Award-winning comic Sex Criminals, created by Fraction with partner Chip Zdarsky. Image Comics’ Sex Criminals, named the best comic of the year in 2013 by Time magazine, centers on a female librarian and male actor who discover they can freeze time when they orgasm.
Fraction is a multiple Eisner-winning comic book writer known for his work on Hawkeye, The Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, Avengers Vs. X-Men and other Marvel comics. He has created such Image Comics properties as ODY-C (co-created with Christian Ward), Casanova, Satellite Sam, Last Of The Independents and Five Fists Of Science. He was a consultant on the Iron Man 2 film. In TV, he wrote an episode of FX’s animated comedy Archer.
DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a garbercaity lotzspinoff from hits Arrow and The Flash that will feature several fan-favorite recurring actors/characters from both shows. I have learned that the network has teamed with Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a project eyed for next season toplined by Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz.
The untitled project, now in development, is described as a superhero team-up show. Routh, Miller and Garber will reprise their popular DC Comics characters — Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom (Routh), Flash villain Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller), and Flash‘s Dr. Martin Stein (Garber).
Because her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary, it is unclear whether Lotz will play the same or new superhero.
The project is in early stages of development, so there is a possibility for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new spinoff. Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.
That’s Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, in what’s the first image to be released from Supergirl, the new pilot from Warner Bros. Television and based on the characters from DC Comics.

She's so super you have to post it twice. I saw a funny comment where they said she looks like the type of person that would ask to speak to the manager at a restaurant to complain about her salad.
They could at least buff her up a bit.
Does Supergirl really need to be buffed up if she gets her powers from the Sun? Same with Superman. Their strength doesn't have anything to do with the size of their muscles.

I am more than likely the only person on the planet with this point of view, but: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Who doesn't want a Rated R Deadpool?
Who doesn't want a Rated R Deadpool?
Me.
quick question.
Have either of you read the leaked Deadpool script from years ago?
the one they are supposedly still adapting to film?
that was a good script, and it was R rated. not hard R, but still R.
when you 2 think R, what do you think we are getting? Because I'm pretty sure we won't be bathed in grossout blood and guts effect. R rating will most likely come from language, and most likely not from Deadpool even. There will be blood, excessive violence, and vulgar language with lots of crude humor and "adult" situations.
F4 they should just skip theoriginmovie.
I love to watch movies and i always try to watch latest movies. The latest movies are Avengers: Age of Ultron,Furious 7, Jupiter Ascending etc...

[Superman vs Batman: Dawn of Justice] trailer has leaked to the internet
https://vid.me/NlzG
Remember all the people who complained about Batman: The Brave and the Bold being too campy?
This is directly in their laps. Thanks. guys.
Pretty much my main issue with the DC verse, which began with The Dark Knight. They think that realism means hefty consequences and darkness and edge.
[Fantastic 4] trailer #2it still looks bad
you actually get to see everyone post transform, including DOOM!!! (he)
Doom looks awful. I think the problem with translating Doom to the big screen is you just need to embrace him. Victor Von Doom is from the kingdom of Latveria and he wears a metal mask, armor and a green cloak.
“He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m ‘Doom.’

LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 20, 2018, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and 21 and 22 Jump Street, are taking Spider-Man back to his graphic roots with the first-of-its-kind animated Spider-Man feature, it was announced today at CinemaCon by Tom Rothman, chairman of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group. The film will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing.
Lord & Miller are masterminding the project, writing the treatment and producing the film.
As previously announced, Spider-Man will next appear in a live-action Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, a live-action film being produced by Kevin Feige at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. The animated film from Lord & Miller, dated July 20, 2018, has Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Pascal also serving as producers.
Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.
The Suicide Squad wishes you a Happy Anniversary Mr. J! #Joker75 #SuicideSquad @WarnerBrosEnt @DCComics
I don't know anything about Suicide Squad so I can't really judge that Joker look, but it's different at least.
The best thing I can say about the Supergirl trailer is that it was better than the Jem and the Holograms trailer. Supergirl looks like it could be okay, but it's like the Saturday Night Live Black Widow parody... except meant to be serious. My issue with Supergirl is that it's as if the producers decided, "Oh, we have a female lead. Let's target a female audience. They like Devil Wears Prada and Gossip Girl, right? We'll make that but with super powers!" Well, no. Start with making a good product. Focus on what makes Supergirl a good character. That trailer is like a romantic comedy checklist with some superhero stuff thrown in. I'm a big Supergirl fan (obviously), and the sheer amount of cliches in that trailer is insulting. It's the lowest common denominator for a female superhero story.This, expect for the skirt bit, we already have too many people in unitards and I am having trouble telling them apart.
On a more positive note, her costume looks a lot better in sunlight. I still would have preferred a unitard because the skirt just seems impractical for crime fighting.
Just put DC movies and television together...it will be easier.

I know there have been comparisons to the Black Widow trailer but frankly that's dumb. The SNL skit really didn't fit the character of Black Widow which was apart of the Joke, however making more of a romantic comedy works for other younger characters like Supergirl, Ms.Marvel, and Spider-man to be frank.The overarching joke was that Marvel doesn't understand how to write female superheroes which is at least partially why Marvel isn't releasing its first movie with a female lead for another three and a half years. The skit uses Black Widow mainly since Scarlett Johansson was the guest, but it works because Black Widow is the most prominent female character in the MCU who is notably without a solo film. Marvel currently has one female lead (Agent Carter) and then only AKA Jessica Jones and Captain Marvel slated to be released.
To Ad's rock's compliant he says make a good show first but their isn't any thing inherently bad about the trailerI think there is. As previously stated, it's appealing to the lowest common denominator. Arrow and Flash weren't made into romantic comedies so it's especially problematic here. We only have a trailer to go on regarding Supergirl, but the superhero stuff seemed to take a backseat which is like the opposite point of making a Supergirl show. My issue with it is the same issue I had with the way Supergirl was written out of the DCAU: she travels to the future to fight evil then stays for a boy. It's a shame because all the Supergirl stuff was handled pretty well before that. When writers don't know what to do with a character, they fall back on tropes and stereotypes which ultimately hurts the character and the story. Maybe the show will prove me wrong, and I'm willing to give it a chance because I really like Supergirl as a character, but right now, I don't like the direction it seems to be taking.
Also the problem with saying using what makes supergirl as a character great is there's like 8-9 iterations of the character going on about twenty if you decided to include powergirl. They seem to be cribbing alot from different versions of the charactersI believe they've admitted as much, and the problem with it is that means they outright chose the bits that could be used to make Rom-Com Supergirl. Why not pick bits that don't pander to a specific audience?

And if Marvel turns Spider-Man and Captain Marvel into romantic comedies, I might just give up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe entirely. I'm more familiar with the former, and it has never struck me as anywhere close to that genre. If the focus is going to be on their alter-egos' romantic relationships, don't even call the movies "Spider-Man" and "Captain Marvel." Call them "Peter Parker" and "Always the Bridesmaid: Carol Danvers." Might as well add a laugh track if they're going to stray that far from the source material.
I believe they've admitted as much, and the problem with it is that means they outright chose the bits that could be used to make Rom-Com Supergirl. Why not pick bits that don't pander to a specific audience?
But the best Spider-man stories have thier DNA ripped from romantic comedies even down to small tropes like the meet cute. Spider-man out of all the Silver Age marvel stuff pulled the most from when Stan Lee's work on romance comics a decade prior. Even with the Amazing movies the best parts are the Pete/Gwen dynamic which for better or worse is nothing but a rom com.I'm not sure The Amazing Spider-Man series is the best example to use considering it was collectively considered such a failure that Sony is rebooting Spider-Man again, and handing the keys over to Marvel. That said, my point was in a movie called Spider-Man, the focus should be on Spider-Man. Not that the Peter Parker scenes can't or shouldn't also be good, but Spider-Man is the entire point. The same principle applies to Supergirl. And I don't even outright dislike the romantic comedy genre. I just don't think it's the right thing to dedicate most of the trailer to. If they want to make Kara Zor-El Takes National City, make that show instead.
As for Captain Marvel I wasn't referring to her but a related character named Ms.MarvelMy bad. You mentioned Ms. Marvel in the same sentence as Supergirl and Spider-Man, and since there's no Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) movie/TV show coming out, I thought you were referring to Captain Marvel.
Also using the always the bridesmaid Carol Danvers is hella patronizing to the source material seeing as what works for one character doesn't work for another and in KSD run which the film is going to crib a lot from Carol has only dated War Machine and most of her supporting cast is just her family and mother figure.You're reading too far into it. I made a throwaway rom-com joke. The "always a bridesmaid" thing is one of the most obnoxious and overused tropes in the genre. I rather like Carol Davers as a character (even if I wanted to sacrifice Davers to give Rogue her powers before I knew who had the rights), and outside of Captain America: Civil War, I'm looking forward to the Captain Marvel movie the most in the MCU.
As for Arrow it might be a romantic comedy but seasons 1 and 2 are incredibly soapy and has alot in common with a show like the Young and the restless or the bold and the beautiful.I don't like that direction either.

Or Mega Man: NT Warrior if you prefer.
Nope, just nope. They are going to ruin this...and Marvel and Disney will be running to the bank laughing...at WB's foolish decisions on making the universe dark and not fun.
I have been re-watching the Justice League Animated Series, the Superman Animated series, and the Batman series. I have to say animation is the way to do these films. Get really good writers and hire really blockbuster Hollywood voice actors, and make great animated movies. You can do whatever you want, because Budget will not be an issue...just bring in enough talent to make every fight great.
Nope, I say it because they are making series that are dark for no reason except to be different. They are not looking at the character and seeing who the character is and what the character is about, and THEN making the movie.
Superman is not a dark character...he shouldn't be in a dark, overly serious movie. It should be lighter than Batman, except that is not what we got with Man of Steel. Your examples were ALL Batman films, which should be dark. However, you ignore that the first great Super Hero movie Richard Donner's Superman wasn't dark at all.
Justice League just looks to be pushing all the DC characters into the drab serious world. It doesn't have to be that way...create some contrast, so people understand the different characters.
The CW did it right with The Flash. They allowed for a fun popcorn series to be created. Sure it has its moments of serious threat, but Barry Allen is light, and playful. Yet he still hangs out with The Arrow...who is still a darker character.
Marvel looked at the characters, and asked the important questions...who is this character? What are his/her stories about, and then crafted their movie. So Captain America is an adventure series, but it is also rooted heavily in the Spy genre and conspiracy genre. We have Heist movie with Ant Man. Iron Man perhaps played it more straight for a Super Hero story, but it still focused on corporations and legacies...dealing with a broken man getting a second chance in life.
Apocalypse looks pretty dumb thus far. I think they picked the wrong guy for the role...but maybe the released pics (only from 5 weeks of shooting, apparently) aren't his final form or something. He's not supposed to have a blue face. Also Magneto looks pretty dumb too...should have gone with his look from DoFP. They always do this crap where they put lines and straps and "sections" into costumes for no reason and it just looks dumb. I will say that Storm and Psylocke look pretty great though. It will be weird seeing how this next movie will be the further erasing of X-Men 1, 2, and 3. For someone who has never seen any of the movies they should actually watch them in the order that they were released (or just watch First Class before any of the others, then go in order)...or they could just never watch the first 3 movies since the events don't take place anymore. Anyway...Apocalypse looks dumb.
I guess this isn't part of the MCU since it's Fox...but meh.

and I think Apocalypse should be taller. like 7 foot tall. maybe they will make that happen in post, but he should look intimidatingly tall.
Ok now I have a problem because the (really long) Fantastic 4 trailer they showed during American Ninja Warrior last night looked really good. Now I have to see it...and the Deadpool trailer that accompanies.
The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four — the cinematic equivalent of malware — is worse than worthless.
A lousy script, unfocused direction, incoherent editing, shockingly terrible special effects — and, probably, panicked studio executives — have left its four talented stars muddling through a dull superhero origin story with zero payoff.
Someone forgot to put anything fantastic into Fantastic Four.
An unfortunate movie that does an embarrassing disservice to the decades-old property and is a frightful waste of all the talent involved.
The special effects look cheap, the acting is wooden, and the shouted dialogue consists largely of throwaway action-movie cliches (“Let’s do this”) and B-movie sci-fi jargon (“His bioenergy is off the charts!”).
Fantastic Four is so mediocre that its title seems like a violation of truth in advertising laws.
So....?
Oh man, that last review got me.
"Fantastic Four is so mediocre that its title seems like a violation of truth in advertising laws."
LOL
wouldn't an Early rebel alliance be ugly? Things don't really start till the pick up their new uniforms. Its like the Mighty Ducks. Ah **** you're talking about Flash stuff. Nevermind.
First episode of Gotham crossed a line. This season is going to have to walk a fine line or else it will enter 2edgy4me territory.
Gordon collects protection money on behalf of the Penguin and ends up killing the guy.
Wait they made Gordon a dirty cop?
No, Nope, absolutely not...I didn't watch this show but it is dead to me. Gordon should never be a dirty cop or tempted in anyway. To me Gordon HAS to be the cop that can never be bought, never compromise even if it means losing the things he loves. He has to be a rock on the side of the law. That is what makes his character interesting in Batman...he is on the same side as Batman but works completely within the law. Also, it means you can let the rest of Gotham Police Department be corrupt and still have one good cop.
This show should have done a time jump of 3-4 years after the first season. It would have been a better choice for story...but not better for actors.
New 52...again DC managing to change their universe without understanding the characters and what works.

BRB, gotta copyright then sell my original idea to the networks...
Marvel's TV outings, both on network TV and on Netflix, have been hit-or-miss affairs, but the fourth time is the true charm: Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is the superheroine the world has been waiting for. Part Buffy and part Veronica Mars, the titular character is a former superhero-turned-private investigator who's struggling with the residual trauma from an abusive relationship. We'll leave it there for now, but it's safe to say that showrunner Melissa Rosenberg has no intention of wasting her chance to use the language of fanboys as a means of dismantling rape culture. This is undeniably the current crown jewel of the company's small-screen roster and possibly the most interesting thing they've done since the dawn of the MCU. Don't miss it.
And presumably no...that was the Big Bad...and it is obviously who it is...
Stratos: Me too. I think the first half is great, but I absolutely hate this Lex Luthor.
I think that character you don't want to mention looks like The Abomination from The Incredible Hulk. Perhaps said character will evolve, like in the comics.
I am a huge Turtles fan. I must say this has me slightly optimistic.
The problem is still the Turtles designs...and I am not just talking about there faces. Nothing about them look like Ninjas. But to make matters worse they are still extremely over designed. Donnie is my favorite character, and this design is just insulting. It is like, we have to make sure you visually know he is the smart one. Nick's cartoon series did a great job of showing the Turtles personality in their design without over doing it.
I am also worried about their personalities...everyone said they nailed the Turtles presentation in the first movie, but NO the didn't. Leo which is supposed to be the leader and the overly concerned one, just fought with Ralph or did nothing. Ralph was the leader and character with an emotional arc, and Donnie and Mickey were left to be caricatures of the cliched characters they already were.
This looks better because it captures that retro feel of the 90s cartoon series, and honestly that is what they really need to push for with this series go extremely retro and go over the top. Finally, if they can get some humor to make fun of the genre as a whole then it will be even better...but that last one won't happen.
I love the Beastie Boys (obviously), but I don't know if I'd use any of their songs in a Star Trek trailer.
alien groups are forced to live among each other and fight
Deadpool just looks annoying and childish. I think by going for a higher rating they're going to be alienating their target audience aka 12-year old boys who still think lame jokes about dicks and assholes are funny.

But hasn't that always been the appeal of Deadpool, Potty-mouthed, 4th wall breaking (this dude wants to be Hokage, HOKAGE!?!) Class-A-Hole. I say let's go all the way. Its Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds, the guy was put on Earth to play ONE role and now he gets it!
Wait....It comes out in a month? And here I was expecting July.
And stop trying to make Jai Courtney happen. He's not going to happen.
Saw the BVS trailer when I went to watch Hateful 8 which is a great movie, go see it. Apparently if you can go to a 70mm screening, it is something to behold.
I can't even deal with this marketing campaign.
It will only strengthen our marriage!
Now, that looks like a good movie. Unfortunately, I still feel like the other trailers point too hard in the other direction for me to raise my excitement level. I will say, the Bruce Wayne side of the story looks like it'll be good.
The trailer forb BvS they showed before Deadpool is the only trailer they should have ever shown.
Hypotheliciously: I won't argue that. I think it is silly standard. I think it comes down to 2 things.
1) America is pretty uptight about sex. It is not nudity as I mentioned above, it is sexual nudity that is the big problem.
2) You could make the argument one is real and one isn't. What I mean is one is an act of special effects via computers or modeling...which although horrifying isn't real at all.
I would argue that you can tackling almost any subject without resorting to showing the violence or nudity and handle the subject matter maturely the thoroughly. I think the art of not revealing the gore or sexuality while showing the impact of it is lost.
The thing about this home release rating, is that it was done before the theatrical release of the film. Is that not odd?
The ratings system is stupid and makes no sense anyway. They need to improve it or just get rid of it. PG and R only actually makes a lot more sense.
It’s tough to take all the hardcore emoting seriously, particularly as the emotional heavy lifting is designed to be done by the occasional maudlin line in brief pauses between the explosions. For a film so concerned with its characters’ inner lives, there’s a fundamental disconnect going on here – enough to make you yearn for the lighter touch of the Marvel films.
Marvel can rest easy. Zack Synder's superhero showdown is a meatheaded, humourless mess that makes little sense and squanders its cast - especially the women
It is pretty cool that they're going with another female lead. Hopefully they'll do better with the toys.
Trailer looks awesome.

Really incredible character work in #CivilWar. Spider-Man, Ant-Man & Black Panther kill it & Wanda/Vision & Bucky/Sam dynamics are wonderful
They're testing the waters for that eventual Captain Marvel reveal.I'm pretty convinced Marvel stealth cast Elizabeth Debicki as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 despite James Gunn insisting Captain Marvel isn't in the movie. It's the only upcoming movie in which she can reasonably be introduced before Infinity War Part I and that whole Kree connection makes sense. I suppose Marvel could introduce Captain Marvel in Infinity War Part I then continue her story in the solo movie, but I really just want to see Captain Marvel sooner rather than later. I'd be very pleased with casting Elizabeth Debicki in the Marvel role and movie I'm most looking forward to. If Rogue can't have her powers in the X-Men universe because Fox doesn't have the rights to Carol Danvers, I want to see Carol Danvers go HAM in the MCU.
Get a few strong leading ladies, and then BAM, Marvel's "SUPERWOMAN" enters the MCU, with a built up women of Disney audience, to watch her do what the men couldn't.

I remember them talking the solo Batman movie in the beginning, but never setting a date.
I always figured it would happen, and that Batfleck would just pop up in most of the other movies in the meantime.
The Pokemon Co., the Japanese outfit that manages the rights to the franchise spun from the hit Nintendo game, has been courting Hollywood to launch a big-budget live-action movie.emphasis added
It will be the opening film in the Nintendo cinematic universe.
I say WhyTF not. if The Smurfs could make money doing it, Garfield can make money doing it, and Alvin & the Chipmunks can make money doing it, then Pokemon will make a killing doing it, as all of those movies were based on characters that were more relevant to the parents taking the kids than to the kids themselves.

Those movies were all sins against nature and should've been treated as war crimes.
DCMV isn't worthy of its own thread. Let's wait until they get their **** together first.

I kept thinking of doing one but BlackNMild2k1 always posts any news about their stuff in here making it hard to create a thread. Case in point, I thought the news of the CW's future 4 episode crossover might be a way to start the thread but he's already gone and posted about it here.
The new CBS MacGyver trailer had me yelling like Murdoc, and like Murdoc, it wasn't in a good way.

Side note: a friend of mine (former chef at one of my mom's restaurant) used to cook for MacGyver all the time, and he called him MacGyver too.
but I think Will Arnett has just practically bombed in everything he's been in (besides BoJack on Netflix which I have yet to actually watch)
I saw the clip and thought to myself....is that the creepy flatmate from Shaun of the Dead? and it is. He's actually pretty terrific in everything he's in.You liked that horrible comedy shaun of the dead? My top hated comedy's are that and The World's End both extremely corny bad British movies(they said British humour was the best! >:()

Plugabugz: Since this might be the last movie for Hugh Jackman to play Wolverine, they wanted to tell another story. It also seems they are trying to tell stories influenced by popular comics in the X-Men franchise. Old Man Logan is pretty influential.
I personally like that they are jumping around and telling interesting good stories than just trying to continue a story. I was also quite impressed with that trailer.

"They wanted to tell another story" seems to be the running theme of nearly the entire movie franchise though.
Aren't you guys sick of Wolverine? There is surely more to X-Men than him. Every movie it is him again. **** that nonsense.

I think Logan might be his last.
Is it worth watching the trailer?It's is a real treat if you are a fan. They took the anime/manga and made it real.
I know nothing of the source material.
Not absolutely, they seem to have toned down the messaging to make it a bit more approachable.
The original movie's monologues are pretty heavy handed. They would have needed true master actor to pull off something like that off and they don't have one. As much as I like Jo, she can't do it, it is currently beyond her.
A lot of those action scenes are shot for shot from the 1995 movie. It also melds scenes from different continuities. The geisha kidnapping people is from GITS:Stand Alone Complex. The drop off the building is in every continuity. Batou looks like he is busting up a Yakuza office is from GITS 2.
It might be a Dredd level movie.
It most certainly remove or diminish the consequences. PG-13: Person gets shot, he falls over, there is no hint of damage, there isn't a "Oh **** he's dead" moment, he's just some dude and maybe he will get up later or something.
You want your audience to go "Woah that's a bit much" which forces them to acknowledge the consequence of what has happened. It makes the you consider maybe there were some other solution to the conflict. There is a scene in the first movie where Togusa complains about the method used and the mess they made, mirroring the audience's reaction.
The tank scene didn't need blood at that point in time, they selectively excluded it. In this case blood would have detracted from showing how much of a robot she is. It also made the following scene more shocking as ultra violence shown throughout the movie as being absolutely "You are not coming back from this" level.
I am guessing your threshold for viewing fictional violence is much lower than mine. I am more willing to see it being used to it's full effect rather than shy away.
Violence is another tool to use for story telling. It is no more lazy than any other tool and open to misuse like everything else. Reducing the level of violence wouldn't be true to the source material anyway and was absolutely pivotal for a movie like Dredd. Just maybe this isn't a movie for you.
Looking at the trailer I think there will be an R as they are showing blood sprays even though they are white. They show Aramaki straight up finishes a guy off and the actor who plays him is famously in really violent movies. The Matrix got rated R and if the level of violence seen in the trailer holds up it would be an R. If they re going to get an R anyway you might as well use it to full effect. The rating board doesn't look kindly to lesbians so that is another R flag.
Besides, the R market is really under-served for quite a while only to be punctuated with films like District 9, Deadpool, John Wick, Hardcore Henry, Kingsmen and Dredd. There just aren't that many films of that type. Is this a movie that should not be PG-13.
PG-13 is an albatross that needs to be done away with. It makes cartoons out of violence and other mature content. It induces a self censorship effect. I ruins films that should have went for a higher rating.
I'm really hyped for King Kong Skull Island.

Marvel's promise of a Thor vs. Hulk battle seems to have re-energized the Thor movie franchise.
The trailer for Thor: Ragnarok, which was unleashed Monday by Disney, the parent company of Marvel, has garnered more than 136 million views in only 24 hours.
It becomes the not only the most viewed Marvel trailer ever, but also the studio's most viewed trailer ever across all its brands, which includes Disney's live-action and animation divisions, Pixar, Star Wars, as well as Marvel.
The Beauty and the Beast trailer was the previous 24-hour record-holder for Disney with 127.6 million views. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was viewed 112 million times in that time frame. Captain America: Civil War held the previous Marvel record with 94 million views.
The trailer was met with tremendous enthusiasm, with it channeling a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe with both music and sci-fi fantasy worlds as it set up a scenario where Thor, played by a returning Chris Hemsworth, is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer. It offered glimpses of Hela, the movie's powerful new villain played by Cate Blanchett. And it closed with a killer line as Thor, forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena, sees his Avengers comrade Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and bellows, "He's a friend from work." It's a line he quickly rues saying.
The Ragnarok trailer doesn't hold the most viewed overall record. The trailer for New Line’s adaptation of Stephen King’s It was viewed 197 million times in the 24 hours after its March 29 release, while Fate of the Furious was eyeballed 139 million times.
Taika Waititi, the New Zealand filmmaker behind the acclaimed indies Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do in the Shadows, is in the director's seat for Ragnarok.
The movie will be released in the U.S. on Nov. 3.
Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hit the tracking boards this morning and came on quite hot according to non-Disney sources. Rival estimates believe that the movie has the potential to feasibly open to $150M at the domestic B.O., and if the James Gunn-directed sequel gets to Captain America: Civil War proportions ($179.1M), that wouldn’t be a surprise.
Related'Beauty And The Beast' Roars Past $1B At Worldwide Box Office
Total awareness for GOTG Vol. 2 is at a massive 88%, definite interest is at 63% and firsts choice at 28%. Of course, it’s a no brainer that males will show up. Females are strong, but older females are the least strong among the four quads.
Now, we always have to footnote projections three weeks out. Anything can happen to vary these figures up or down, and has been the case with titles that come on tracking quite strong, they’re a challenge for the industry to make laser-point predictions on. Why is that? Because statistically there’s a small sampling of films that opened north of $100M.
Disney/Marvel’s The Avengers still holds the all-time opening record for the first weekend in May with $207.4M followed by Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.2M), Captain America: Civil War ($179.1M), and Iron Man 3 ($174.1M).

This looks ridiculous. I need to see this. NSFW.
In a surprise announcement just moments ago, the studio confirmed release dates for New Mutants, which will bow on April 13, 2018, followed by Deadpool 2 on June 1, 2018, and finally, ending the year with, the now-official X-Men: Dark Phoenix on November 2, 2018.
The trio of films now joins a calendar that already featured Black Panther on February 16, 2018, Avengers: Infinity War on May 4, 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6, 2018, Sony Pictures' Venom on October 5, 2018, and the Animated Spider-Man movie, which follows Miles Morales, on December 21, 2018, meaning we could quite possibly get to see a new Marvel movie in eight out of twelve months next year.

Still excited for this..
I'm thinking Spider-Man at #1. I think the original trilogy had some records back in the day, and the fan base should be pretty riled up.
I reluctantly picked Justice League for #2 as I think the DC brands still carry some cache. Plus, if WW is reviewed well, that might give JL enough buzz. I think the movie being terrible will only hurt it but so much. BvS was bad, but a good film buffering between the trash piles might make people forget that JL will be more like BvS.

With Wonder Woman getting good reviews, I feel really good about my picks.
There might be a script now instead of a collection of emo scenes. They might also make different color keying decisions.
Don't they put Game of Thrones episodes in IMAX? Or is that just regular theatres?
That lineup is crazy especially considering how most of those films are almost guaranteed to be good.
Also, Dumbo remake?!
But the last half of 2019!!! OMG, have mercy Disney. JFC
Avengers 4 thru Mulan is just total B.O. Suffication.
Coco, A Wrinkle in Time, The Nutcracker, Mary Poppins and "Untitled DisneyToon" are going to be smothered.
The Incredibles 2, Wreck It Ralph, Dumbo and Mulan will be challenged
Everything else will likely be steered clear from.
Yeah, I think you can use the positioning to ball park the dates. We know BP is February, and it's at the front.
However, I think the positioning on 2019 is a bit weird. I think each of the Star Wars films has had a May target date with a December actual. But Lion King, Frozen 2, and Mulan are all in that holiday area. Could be crowded unless some things get moved around. But that also kind of means that everything to the left of Episode IX is due before May 2019. 0_o
So Avengers 4 May 3rd, 2019
And Star Wars May 24th, 2019
That works Disney, but essentially shuts everyone else out.
For those looking to see how their votes panned out,
here are the world wide numbers (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2017&p=.htm). And the rankings from the poll:

If I'm wrong you can change my avatar for a week.
- I'd bet my left ragnarok on G2 at #1.
- SMH (Shaking My Head: The Movie) at #2.
- Pee Rangers, though the fan base is megahyped, is not quite as big so I'm putting it #3.

He hasn’t even hit tracking yet, but Black Panther from Disney/Marvel is already a hot ticket out of the gate. After tickets went on sale Monday night, Black Panther is already outstripping Captain America: Civil War as Fandango’s best-selling MCU title in the first 24 hours of presales. Captain America: Civil War kicked off the opening of summer 2016 during the first weekend of May with $179M.
Is that Teen Titans movie actually going to theatres?
BnM - you should update your list with release dates. I need to put in for days off and I'm too lazy to look 'em all up myself. :D
I got BP, I2, and D2. Come on baby don't let me down!
*waits 12 months for box office results*
:|
Okay Imma start cooking some crow: Infinity War will do well, but not as well as people expect. I'm thinking around 1.1 billion worldwide; trailer looks dull so far and seems over-reliant on an audience who follows all the Marvel stuff - that's not what the average Avengers viewer is.
Got Black Panther in the #2 spot which I fully expect to be a sales cannon for Marvel/Disney. The cast is terrific, director seems bankable, the title character has been introduced in a popular film and will star in another anticipated hit... I'm saying that if Doctor Strange can grab 677 million at the box office, Black Panther has a clear shot at that range too, but I fully expect it to do a lot better actually, like maybe 800m+.
For the third one, Aquaman seems like the obvious bet since even garbage DC movies like Suicide Squad still somehow attract millions of people...
Deadpool 2 would be the other obvious high-flier.
However, I'm gonna pick a dark horse here and say New Mutants will come out the woodworks and blow people away.
That's based on absolutely nothing, I haven't even seen the trailer (if there is one), nor know what it is about or when it releases. But X-Men movies are difficult to predict and sometimes they suddenly do crazy well, only to crash again right after.
Imma say this one will be a hit. Now where'd that crow go...Don't let it cook too long. don't want it to be too dry or burnt by the time you need to eat it.

Disney-Marvel’s “Black Panther” is heading for as much as $150 million in its North American opening on the four-day Presidents Day weekend, updated tracking is showing.
That’s significantly above the first tracking on Jan. 25 for the Chadwick Boseman tentpole, which initially placed the debut in the $100 million to $120 million range for the Feb. 16-19 period. “Black Panther” could break the Presidents Day weekend record of $152 million, set in 2016 by “Deadpool.”

Yeah I forgot Deadpool 2 got bumped up 2 weeks when I voted...so I'm leaning towards Infinity War/Incredibles 2/Black Panther now.
I also don't want it yo cut IW short or get swallowed in the HYPE and have it's own legs cut off by Solo 2 weeks after.... it's such a bad place to put BP if you ask me.... but I'm no expert.
The Cloverfield Paradox dropped on Netflix after being announced during "The Big Game". And critics were not kind. 17% RT, 37 MC.
Yikes.
Black Panther stormed the UK box office on Tuesday (Feb 13), posting an opening day total of £2.67m from more than 550 sites.
The figure tops Fifty Shades Freed, which took £2.66m when it opened last Friday (Feb 9).
It also tops several recent superhero film UK opening days such as Thor: Ragnarok (£2.13m) and Deadpool (£2.3m).
...
The biggest ever official opening weekend for a Marvel film is Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which posted £18m including £3.6m in previews.
The critically acclaimed movie currently boasts a stellar 98 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, the best of any title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (that could change by opening day), or the rival DC Extended Universe. On Thursday, ticketing service Fandango reported Black Panther is its No. 4 pre-seller of all time, only trailing recent Star Wars films The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and Rogue One (2016).
Nevertheless, our target range has increased and expanded to the realm of $190M-$215M over the four-day weekend. As always, the margins for error dictate that a final gross slightly lower or higher than that range is within reason.meter on overload.... we were looking for sub-space/atmospheric flight.... we accidentally landed on the moon.
Additionally, online ticket retailer Fandango.com reports Black Panther is the company's largest pre-seller among all superhero films, outselling Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166m opening). Even more to the point, Black Panther is the site's fourth largest pre-seller of all-time behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
As a result, the sky would appear to be the limit when it comes to the film's opening weekend, and it's quite clear records will be broken. We're currently anticipating an anticipate a three-day opening around $185 million and using Deadpool's performance as a guide, a four-day around $210 million if not more. Obviously this results in a new February opening weekend record, new President's Day opening record and a top ten performance in categories including all-time opening weekend and opening theater average for a wide release.
I've only seen $200 million for the 4-day... apparently it did like $50 million yesterday. We'll see though...my attempts to see it have been thwarted this far.

I hope it does well because I loved the book as a kid, and it is a trilogy, and it sucks when the first in a series pans enough they don't continue it.

Another BP B.O. update.
It's predicted to top $120M for its second weekend (that's more than it was originally predicted to make in early OW predictions, and way more than JL's opening weekend).
Chances are, it comes in higher than that as BP had been out doing every prediction thrown at it so far.
Either way, it's already done amazing, so it's all just icing on Marvels cake.
So reviews for Annihilation are out and they're skewing rather positive. Has anyone seen this yet? I hadn't heard anything about it and I kinda worry it's been sent out to die against Black Panther at the box office.
Annihilation is directed by Alex Garland, who's previously done Ex Machina which was a super tense thriller. He also wrote the screenplays for Sunshine, Dredd, Never Let Me Go, 28 Days Later. As far as I'm concerned, Garland is basically batting 1,000 here. So I'm gonna see it on that basis, but no screens near me are showing it so far. >:C

9:17 AM - Feb 28, 2018
Marvel’s “Black Panther” continues to climb box office charts, passing the $1 billion mark at the global box office in just 26 days.
It’s the 16th Disney film to reach this milestone, and the fifth Marvel film to do so — joining the ranks of “The Avengers,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3,” and “Captain America: Civil War.”
“Black Panther” has grossed $521 million domestically, making it the ninth-highest release of all time. In its fourth weekend, “Black Panther” is heading for a $37 million-plus weekend, which would make it the No. 2 superhero release of all time over “The Dark Knight’s” $535 million.
It would also give “Black Panther” the third-highest fourth weekend of all time, taking the title from “The Avangers” with $36.7 million. “Avatar” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” currently hold the one and two spots, with $50.3 million and $42.4 million respectively. A 44% drop for the tentpole’s fourth weekend would be on par with its third weekend decline of 41%.
Internationally, “Black Panther” is aiming for the $500 million mark this weekend, thanks to a strong debut in China, where it opened with $20 million in its first day.
Nicolas Cage is voicing SupermanPure, uncut entertainment right there.
At one point, when a Superman sequel was in development hell, Nicholas Cage was seriously being considered for the role of Superman. So, yeah, this is amazing.
Lordy... I googled it. There are pics of him in the suit.

It's a good thing no one put bets on X-Men: Dark Phoenix, it just be came invalid as it moved to next year. New Mutants got pushed back even further too.
XM:DP moves to 2/14/19 (1 month before Capt. Marvel w/ "same" alien threat)
NM moves to 8/02/19 (that's enough time to reshoot the entire movie)

Do you think this is because the upcoming Fox/Disney merger? Would Disney benefit by delaying major films so they can be listed under a different accountancy balance? Although the new X-Men date runs rather contrary to that, so maybe I'm just tinfoilhatting haha.
MehMaybe bad trailer but this.
The new Venom trailer has leaked online...I've only seen it on some Russian site, but it should be legitimately released by Sony later tonight. It looks much better than the original...and it does show Venom, and he looks awesome.
I mean he looks...like Venom. Can't tell if he has a white spider on his front and back yet though...hope he does.
Infinity War Box Office Update
Expected to be the fastest to $1B worldwide either tonight

Movie already crossed $600M international for a total of about $975M WW. Tonights domestic gross alone will push it past the $1B mark.

THR reports Avengers: Infinity War now holds the record for most presales in China ever. With still a day to go before the film officially opens, the blockbuster has tallied $47.5 million in presale tickets. That just edges out China’s previous record holder Monster Hunt 2, but easily surpasses Fate of the Furious‘ $25M record for films made in Hollywood"
"Monster Hunt 2 and Fate of the Furious are China’s two biggest opening weekends of all-time after taking in $187.9M and $184.9M, respectively. If Infinity War is outselling them in advance, the flood of general moviegoers could give the movie a chance to be China’s biggest opening ever"
And a very thoughtful response from the Russo Brothers.
https://twitter.com/Russo_Brothers/status/994593899241881601
I just read it's going to hit $1.58 billion today, so yeah, it's already the #1 super hero movie of all time, in just two fucking weeks.
I had to look up the Boltneck reference. Yikes.
Didn't vote for IW as it was the most boring choice. Didn't vote New Mutant, no idea what that is.
The ThunderCats are coming back!
EW can exclusively reveal that Warner Bros. Animation is bringing back the iconic cat-like aliens for new animated series called ThunderCats Roar, which will debut on Cartoon Network in 2019.
Check out an exclusive sneak peak at the show above.
The original ThunderCats show aired from 1985 and 1989, and followed the adventures of Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, Snarf, and WilyKit and WilyKat, the refugees of the planet Thundera who end up on Third Earth. While ThunderCats Roar plans on staying true to the original’s premise and will feature tons of action, it will also lean into the inherent comedy of the world, too.
I'm not really a fan of these newer animation styles. Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Rick & Morty; I dislike all of those. This new Thundercats falls right into that style.
I think a big problem is that The Last Jedi was such a massive letdown to fans, and it just came out 5 months ago, so a lot of people just said "screw this" and stayed home.

I am surprised Rosanne came back at all hearing how much it got run into the ground the first time. Given the premise, subject matter and Rosanne's statement before any of this I am surprised it ever got made and broadcast. There is a reason why you don't make stories based on "That" subject matter as there is nothing good has ever come out of it. As sympathetic as you can make the characters themselves to be their underlying message or being is repulsive to the core.I just never thought it was funny. No politics required.
They had basically made a show about villains doing and advocating bad things resulting in self-defeating goals for terrible reasons. This is of course an outsider perspective looking in.
Rick and Morty Forever 100 Years
It has been renewed for a crazy 70 episode block.

Really? A gender politics joke in the Lego Movie 2 trailer as well? It was bad enough that the Wreck it Ralph 2 trailer did it, too.
Yeah...I already said my piece on how WiR2 looks like a colossal piece of cross-promotional Emoji Movie-tier garbage. I actually had hopes for Lego Movie 2. Guess I can cross that off my rapidly shrinking list of anticipated sequels to movies I adored. Between these 2 and Pacific Rim 2, it's like 2018 is specifically trying to piss me off.

Looks pretty good. Not sure if I'll be watching in the theater or not yet though.
Spiderman trailer was the best trailer, but Peter's voice seems off.Well, not everyone can be Josh Keaton, unfortunately. He's supposed to be an old Peter Parker anyway, so that didn't bug me that much.
Glass
I think I'm more hyped for this than any Marvel or DC movie.
Ooooh. got it. I have to take off the S from the HTTP each time I embed a link here. I blame the old forum software.
The new Godzilla is gonna be awesome.
Also, where the hell is BnM? He's vanished ever since the forums had their week of complete nonsense.
I refuse to even watch the trailer.
It will never hit theaters in the US. and even if it does, I'm not gonna watch it, so it might as well not even exist in my consciousness.
What makes you think it'll never be in US theatres?
Because Disney owns the X-men now and is going to integrate them into the MCU with a credits teaser in Avengers 4.
True, but that wouldn't have a bearing in its release. Since the movie is in its final stages it seems like a colossal waste to not release it now.my previous post was done quickly from my phone just before a movie in the theater started.... let me elaborate now that I'm home.
Oh I have no doubt it'll be ordinary at best.
It does open up a means of concluding the Fox X-Men series though. Have Phoenix just kill everyone. And the effort in doing so ends up killing her too.
Then Deadpool can pop up and proudly announce the end of that X-Men series.
Post credits teaser with Nick Fury showing up.
In an interview with ComicsExplained, Hardy admitted that all his favourite scenes had ended up on the cutting-room floor. When asked "What was your favourite scene to film?" he replied: "Things that aren’t in this movie."
[...]
The Taboo star continued: "There are like 30 to 40 minutes worth of scenes that aren’t in this movie... all of them. Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes. You know what I mean? They just never made it in."
Tom Hardy thought it was supposed to be a light hearted comedic Marvel flick
It also set the record for biggest October opening night of all time.

Well, I didn't think DP2 was good enough to merit a second viewing, but as I always say, you do more work, you get more of my money.
As long as RR knows his creative input will likely be scaled back if somehow inserted/rebooted into the MCU

I would prefer if he remained adjacent actually. Like he's completely aware of all of the events and is loosely related to it (like how Bruce Wayne was on the ground during Man of Steel) but he just goes NOPE and actively avoids their plots.
I can agree to that. But grits mostly taste like what you cook them with.

Once Upon a Deadpool (2) - (Now in PG-13) the 12 days before Xmas (Dec 12-Dec 24)
15 Minutes of extra footage and a new character.
RR filmed all the extra framing scenes in a single day under the radar.
and the best part is that $1 from each ticket sold goes to the **** Cancer Foundation, which has also been temporarily renamed the "Fudge Cancer Foundation" to adhere to the PG-13 theme.
Dumbo doesn't appear to be "shot4shot" and TLK has atleast 1 new song, but is more or less a "life-like" remake even if they add a few new scenes.
Several characters have been changed. Mulan’s love interest from the original, Li Shang will be replaced by new character Chen Honghui played by Yoson An. The villain has also been changed from Hun leader Shan Yu to a witch played by Gong Li. And unlike in the original, Mulan will have a sister played by the Chinese-Vietnamese actress Xana Tang.
It’s been confirmed that Mushu will appear in the film, but not as Mulan’s mentor. That honor has been given to human character, Commander Tung.

Spider-Verse deserves ALL the praise and awards it's been nominated for 😁
I look forward to a sequel.
I think Endgame out of that list is going to be the only one crossing that billion mark.
And no, SW doesn't count as a super hero film.
I like the new MIB trailer, but the name isn't doing it for me. International? They deal with aliens; they're already intergalactic.Yeah that is just a bit weird.
Looks like Aquaman will win the weekend, albeit with only around $70 million.
Saw Spider-verse tonight. It was great. The wife fell asleep and said she'd rather have seen Aquaman.
to mu understanding, that's not how BO Return works.
Calculate Domestic at about $0.50 on the $1 (theaters take the other half)
Calculate Foreign (except China) at $0.40
and then China at $0.25 on the $1 (theaters take a part, Gov takes another)
so depending on the breakdown of that $213, it might have just broke even.
which is fine, as it will make the rest on home release, then probably improve upon on the sequel.

Ghostbusters 3?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pupAzJlt7Q (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pupAzJlt7Q)
What I want to know about all these late sequels, is what takes these studios so long? Where were they in the 90's? throw a $150 million at everybody involved sometime in the decade after the last movie came out, not thirty years later!
If this is Ghostbusters 3, I wonder what they said to him to get him to sign off on it.
It's also why a lot of people have said that the Ghostbusters 360 video game is the real Ghostbusters 3, since all of the original cast were in it for the final time in a script penned by them.

That game is the real sequel. I don't care what anyone says.
Glad that game is getting a film sequel though. Would also like to see the cartoon formally canonized in some way.
The streaming network and Marvel will create four new animated series, all executive produced by Jeph Loeb — Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Marvel’s Hit-Monkey, Marvel’s Tigra & Dazzler Show and Marvel’s Howard the Duck. The four originals will culminate in Marvel’s The Offenders.
I like how Howard the Duck turned into Duckman.
I don't know anything Pokémon, nor do I ever care to, but I need to see that movie.
In what I'm sure will be great news for one particular NWR forum user, Star Trek Discovery has been picked up for a third season (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/star-trek-discovery-renewed-season-3-at-cbs-all-access-1180555).
I've been a fan from the beginning, but the show really seems to be coming into its own in season 2, so it's nice to see it'll be sticking around, if the dozen other Star Trek series currently in the works didn't already signify that.
Orville last week has had it's HOLY **** episode with me absolutely on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the second part. They have spent time from the very beginning building up to this. This isn't just Trek, it's bloody good TV.

I am mildly surprised that it got renewed but reasons were not surprising. A lot of personal ego,"Creative" hijacking, sunk costs, Streaming Wars has been piled into this for it to die. Also more importantly they are desperate to have something, anything to put on CBS All Access to keep people subscribing beyond the month some sports ball is on. The ratings for both STD and AA subs have been terrible. Reportedly STD cost $200 Million+ a season, good luck recovering that money.
It will never stop being a horrible show as it is just fundamentally broken. It has gotten to the point I can't even hate watch it. I could seriously script doctor it into a better show but not as a Star Trek show, nothing can do that.
Also R.I.P. Picard. Also LOL if any of it is going to be Trek but in name only.

CBS All Access says the weekend combo of the season two Star Trek: Discovery premiere and Sunday’s AFC Championship Game pushed new subscriber sign-ups and unique viewers to record levels.
According to CBS Interactive, CBS All Access added more subscribers in a single weekend than ever before, breaking the previous record set during the 2017 series premiere of Star Trek: Discovery by +72%. In addition, this weekend also set a new record for unique viewers on CBS All Access.
Specific numbers were not released.
“The return of our biggest original series hit, Star Trek: Discovery and this weekend’s AFC Championship Game have propelled CBS All Access to new record-breaking heights,” said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive.
The AFC Championship Game marked the most streamed football game on CBS All Access to date, surpassing last year’s game by +158% in streams, +139% in time spent and +103% in average minute audience on CBS All Access platforms.
Despite passing its subscriber goal early, CBS was down about 3 percent after hours after its results fell short of analyst expectations. The company reported earnings per share of $1.50 per share ex-items compared to $1.52 per share analysts were expecting. CBS reported revenue of $4.02 billion compared to $4.13 billion expected.
“Orville” opened to a 1.5 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 and 5.6 million viewers in the Sunday 8 p.m. time slot, according to Nielsen’s live-same-day ratings. Those numbers will grow once delayed viewing is factored in. In September 2017 “Orville” also launched on a Sunday with a football lead-in to 8.6 million viewers and 2.8 rating in adults 18-49.
On the plus side, “Orville’s” sophomore year start is up 67% in adults 18-49 from the show’s season one finale in December 2017. It’s also up 56% in total viewers over the finale.
So what’s going on? It’s hard to say with certainty, but I suspect that the folks behind Discovery (and the executives at CBS) are not ignoring what what has happened with The Orville. Fox’s show debuted to comparable ratings as Discovery‘s pilot, and, even though total viewership dropped after its premiere, The Orville still pulled in 3.5 million viewers in the Nielsen overnights and even higher numbers in the 18-49 demographic when adjusted for delayed DVR viewing over the following three nights.
By comparison, some estimates of viewership for Discovery via CBS All Access are as low as only 250,000 to 500,000 per episode. (Actually, it’s closer to 250K, but I can’t tell you how I know that.) And even if every subscriber to All Access was watching Discovery (which isn’t the case), that’s still a million viewers less per episode than what Orville gets domestically.
Some salt might be needed as it cite inside sources.

STD and all future shows are made under an alternate Trek licensing agreement making it mandatory that they have all to be different enough not to impinge on OG Canon. They are both called Trek but never the two will meet (thank god).
The Picard show will not be a continuation from the end of TNG or anything TNG at all as they legally can't. It falls under the same agreement as STD.
Star Trek Discovery may or may not be a colossal failure that CBS is trying to save face on for the sake of a content-less streaming service. Without an official statement from CBS, we'll never know.
That said, I think their refusal to provide actual viewership or subscriber numbers to be rather telling. I feel like if STD were an actual success rather than a Loss Leader, CBS would be providing those numbers. Granted, Netflix doesn't provide viewership numbers either, but last I checked they were also $20 billion in debt so who knows?
OHHHOOOLLLYYYFUCCKK Orville, it just showed up everything since Return of the Jedi.
Also, the track record of the modern Disney Live Action remakes is about on par with their direct-to-DVD sequels: some were allegedly decent (I actually quite like Aladdin & the King of Thieves and Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, and Cinderella 3 is generally considered to be something of a hidden gem). Most were trash.Which ones have they made so far? I only remember The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast, and both were great.

It shouldn't, and yet it should. It started as part of this "live action refresh" initiative Disney started, but grew into its own thing. I believe Alice was in a similar boat.
Remember there was a promising Snow White that got canned during production. Maleficent was referred to along with Cinderella and failed Snow White back in the early 2010's.
But the Alice series was.... Unappealing visually and otherwise. The first did good, but I think the second just looked like more of the things you didn't really like about the first.
Why do film series have to be trilogies? Toy Story is still going. John Wick should be 5 parts.

Thats not even counting marvels box office bonus (sm:ffh)
So it's very possible... I need to look up the record for the amount any 1 studio has made in a single year.
Seriously, and I haven't looked - but are there any FOX films of note (besides Dark Phoenix, which I'm kinda looking forward to just hoping FOX did something *fun* with the movie knowing it was basically going to be the last. Or, maybe, Disney/Marvel can take it back under the knife and tack on some kind of ending/post credits scene that ties it to the MCU somehow. Like someone waking up in a cold sweat and cracking a joke about how terrible of a dream that all was or something) that would add to the top of Disney's Box Office take?
Damn UB... I totally forgot to look up whatever Fox had planned for the rest of the year too. LOL
Disney taking all profits from whatever manages to get released from here on out.
as far as post credit scene for Dark Phoenix... right after the final scene, the image zooms out to reveal that it was Deadpool reading a book to a group of young mutants. He slams the book shut, and then makes a comment about how terrible fan fiction can be sometimes and how he prefers his comic panels straight from the source (brown nose Marvel Studios moment).
There should definitely not be any direct connection to the MCU though.
unless the one waking from the cold sweat of a bad dream was Scarlet Witch as she screams "NO MORE MUTANTS!!!" and then we can all watch in real life as New Mutants fades from existence.
she will later, after getting her Thor-like power boost, recall that bad dream, and then actually create mutants because why the **** not.
Remember when I said that The MCU is this generations Star Wars, and someone countered with "but Black Dynamite.... Star Wars is this generations Star Wars!"
Lol
Though honestly, I kinda wish the series will be shelved for a year or 2...and then be introduced again later.

I think that's a very safe bet. I'm expecting that all you'll see with X-Men is a single character (probably Wolverine) turning up in an existing movie. That'll branch off into X-Men focused stuff.
Having said that, I would dearly love if Hugh Jackman brandished the claws one more time in Endgame. He has always said he wanted to join the MCU, and this would be the perfect time to send him off and pass the mantle to a new actor. It'd also be the perfect time to finally have him don the yellow and blue. He's snuck into an X-Men movie before, I am confident he could do it again. Imagine the roar of the audience if Hugh suddenly walked into frame and released the claws for the final confrontation. "Need a hand bub?"

Wolverine is honestly a pretty low level powered character in the MCU. I could totally see them recruiting anyone left in the universe to help with the battle and it just happens to bring one lone mutant out from hiding.
Honestly, I can't fathom what Warner was thinking releasing Shazam! between Captain Marvel and Endgame.

Tomorrow will see the release of Premium formats, providing a further boost which should propel Endgame to over a 1 million tickets, joining Infinity War as the only other movie to pass the mark. Difference being Endgame will do it in its 3rd day of presales, not the night before release! It will therefore also surpass Age of Ultron's final take tomorrow.
Barring a massive slowdown, it is currently on track for 1.8 - 2.0 million tickets presold, which is an absolutely phenomenal number given Infinity War had the previous best at ~1.15m tickets.
Avengers Endgame hit record in Brazil: 900 of 2700 sessions are already sold out, double of total Infinity War pre-sale
Highlights:
Avengers Endgame has already sold double the tickets compared to all the anticipated sale of Infinity War;
In the first hour of pre-sale, Endgame sold more than the first full day of Infinity War;
In just 3 DAYS, Endgame surpassed the total amount of tickets sold throughout the pre-sale Infinity War;
1/3 of Endgame sessions are already sold out.

He would have to film half the movie, then lose weight, then film the other half.

So, they call Ace Ventura pet detective out to stop Sonic.
I'll watch this when it gets uploaded to youtube.
Why do they keep making these movies where cartooney characters get teleported into the real world? They're almost always commercial and critical failures.
Posting these here.

Now I need to go see John Wick 3Holy **** ****, I almost choked to death.
and Disney picked an actress to be Ariel in The Little Mermaid - Halle BaileyAriel is going to be swimming in a sea of white tears.
Our little mermaid is gonna be black.
Makes you wonder who they have in mind for King Triton or even Ursula.Disney is apparently in talks with Melissa McCarthy for Ursula. Terry Crew wants to play King Triton. Wouldn’t be disappointed though I want Disney to cast Donnie Yen if only for more tears.
Mulan without the dragon seems dull.
Red hair isn't race dependent. It's actually a mutation that happens independently in all groups. It's pretty rare in all groups though.

Lol, good luck! At lease the kids are out of school?
Captain, what is that?! LOL.
I really hope they keep any CGI down to the most absolute minimum.

reviews won't matter..... for opening weekend.
and this looks like it will be a big one.
I like the idea of Spiderman and Black Panther teaming up, and after a few close calls with Peter Parkers family almost being murdered he goes into hiding in Wakanda, and then Kraven hunts him down. Spiderman would totally work in a Jungle like survival environment. But of course could have a set pieces in New York because that is important for Spiderman.Um.. you forget that Wakanda contains a city that looks like this:
Just because there is a city like yhat diesn’t mean the action has to take there.I brought it up because you made it sound like Wakanda was nothing but jungle, but they have large sprawling cityscapes too, for that skyscraper web swinging action.
This is just ridiculous....

now imagine if Marvel Studios had a 4th movie this year.... or if Spider-man counted for Disney's totals!
Wasn't it just like two-three years ago that everyone was predicting that theaters were dead and it was the end for them anyway?

It is dying, just not in that way. Fewer and fewer movies are viable with budgets absolutely exploding.
The sad thing with the Endgame is the double dipping laughable extra materiel re-release they did to crawl over that misconstrued goal. Embarrassing. Plus Avatar has had no lasted cultural impact other than being a punchline.
The movie experience is expensive and the home experience is more comfortable and cheaper. I only see value in seeing the event movies in the theater. But now every movie seems to try and be an event movie. So I am not even doing that.
Who Killed Captain Alex?
I'm inclined to think 80-90% of that never would have made it out the door had FOX remained solvent.
Ohh.. a Play-doh movie. I imagine some corporate exec seeing how well the LEGO Movie did and being all "Yeah, let's throw money chasing that."
Wait.... if it's a continuation of the 80s show... what does this mean for She-Ra?
That isn't to say that when I do watch Are You Afraid of the Dark it doesn't have terrible acting. Eerie Indiana holds up.
The original was.

Only 5 episodes?! Lol. I think when I saw they got picked up for like 100 episodes, I thought "There's no way they fulfill that".
Steven Universe? Which season. Also I think comedy is so subjective that it is hard to be right or wrong. I mean Parks and Rec I think is the funniest sitcom series I have seen, but I know some people that hate the show. Futurama has some good seasons, but is overall inconsistent, Simpson's has some great seasons, but they are also inconsistent, but the early seasons were still amazing. Bob's Burgers is pretty amazing too, and the series is overall fairly creative, but I can also understand why people would hate that series.

It's particularly good once they start getting deeper into the overall plot of the show in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. But the 5th season is really, really good, epecially after you've gotten attached to the characters. The movie that aired was also spectacular. The comedy is more on the silly side than the profound, but it's still a pretty funny show. There's just more to it than the comedy, with the characters, the action, and the story being bigger deals. Oh, and the music. The songs are possibly the best part.

I really like Steven Universe, but the show has a lot of issues. Beyond some of the deeper stuff (like the racial coding of Bismuth, the whole slave/romance relationship between Pearl and <can't spoil>...), just so many of the basic plot points are built around inconsistent character choices.
Bismuth gets nothing really explained to her, then gets poofed and bubbled and set aside until Steven decides she'd make a great wedding present.
The freaking diamonds - murdering, genocidal conquerors - get a speech from Steven and now they're all bffs and everything is better now.
eh.
Spider-Verse 2 confirmed.

April 8, 2022.
(I was going to put the date in properly ie: 08/04/22 but that'd probably confuse most of you northern hemisphere dwellers lol)
I saw the Incredibles once, then only saw it again as a double feature with the sequel. I thought the two were really on par with eachother in terms of quality, tbh. Could be some nostalgia because of the time between the between the original releases?
The Man in Black ⚡
Like most kids growing up, I dreamed about being a superhero. Having cool superpowers, fighting for what’s right and always protecting the people.
It all changed for me, when I was 10yrs old and was first introduced to the greatest superhero of all time - SUPERMAN.
As a kid, Superman was the hero I always wanted to be. But, a few years into my fantasy, I realized that Superman was the hero, I could never be. I was too rebellious. Too rambunctious. Too resistant to convention and authority.
Despite my troubles, I was still a good kid with a good heart - I just liked to do things my way. Now, years later as a man, with the same DNA I had as a kid - my superhero dreams have come true.
I’m honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, BLACK ADAM.
BLACK ADAM is blessed by magic with the powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is he doesn’t toe the mark or walk the line.
He’s a rebellious, one of a kind superhero, who’ll always do what’s right for the people - but he does it his way.
Truth and justice - the BLACK ADAM way. This role is unlike any other I’ve ever played in my career and I’m grateful to the bone we’ll all go on this journey together.
BLACK ADAM

Huge thank you to my friends, @jimlee and @bosslogic for this first time ever bad ass collaboration.
I feel like it's been 10 years since the Rock said he was playing Black Adam.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife

30 years later. I'm assuming Girlbusters never happened in this reality.
but it looks like Slimer is back. Didn't see any OGB's.
I was pretty shocked they hit it so soon! I thought they'd be cutting it close but a few movies over performed, especially Aladdin!
For a new poll, maybe we could take a look at upcoming movies for 2020 and try to guess the top 5 grossing? https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/most-anticipated-movies-of-2020/ (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/most-anticipated-movies-of-2020/)
Is that Jared Leto?Supposedly.
some of the video sites are saying that "Spider-Man is in it..." I need to watch again, but I didn't see a spiderman suit in the trailer.
IU must've missed it, but apparently there is a Spider-man poster at the end (the Raimi version) and Michael Keaton is at the end as well (I don't think he's the same character from Homecoming), but Sony is really trying to push even the smallest SM connections wherever they can.
The Transformers movie franchise is so, so bad. At this point, I won't even stream them in the background while working from home as white noise... there is simply better white noise available.
Beast Wars would have to be more than AMAZING to save the series.
...
Have heard good things about Bumblebee, though. Picked it up when it was on sale, but haven't watched it yet. ...
Pacific Rim is a big budget b-movie. The plot is cheesy, possibly on purpose, but to the point where it's enjoyable for it. The action scenes are great. I loved that movie while accepting that it isn't a "good" movie.

For the record, I specifically named the Pacific Rim sequel, Uprising. I've seen the original Pacific Rim, and it's one of my favorite movies. Heard the sequel was awful, though.
With new horizons to pursue, “Aladdin” is getting a sequel.
Following the massive success of last summer’s reboot, Disney is developing a follow-up to the film, tapping John Gatins and Andrea Berloff to pen the script.
Sources say the movie is in early development, but after spending the last six months figuring out what direction to take the next film, producers look to have found their path.
The film will be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The original animated movie had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say this new take is completely original and not based on those ideas.
It’s unknown at this time whether director Guy Ritchie will return. Producers hope to bring back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but offers won’t be extended to the cast until a script is ready.
Never got into Warehouse 13, but I didn't really give it a chance either, as I already had too many shows on my plate back then. Only so much free time in any given evening.
Limited but FREE AppleTV+ anyone?

The new Hercules is in early development, and this being a Disney title, rumors have already swirled about other producers and even filmmakers. The Russos are the only producers on the project and will not direct, according to insiders.
There have also been casting rumors in recent weeks, partially spurred on by Ariana Grande's performance of the movie’s "I Won’t Say I’m in Love" during The Disney Family Singalong, which engendered a petition on Change.org for her to play Megara, the female lead. Idris Elba and Ryan Gosling’s names have also been floated by enthusiasts. But in reality, the project is far from the casting stage.
It is unclear what the new take on Hercules will be or if it will even keep the musical elements. Disney has taken varying approaches to its live-action remakes. Last year’s The Lion King, for example, hewed quite closely to the 1994 original, while Mulan, set for release July 24, is a looser interpretation of its 1998 source material.
So ironically enough, the movie actually starts with the town rioting for the police to take action to hold the Bears accountable for two binders full of nuisances they have caused, whereas Officer Murphy (a police officer of color and head of the precinct) only wants to give them a slap on the wrist. That's when a white officer named Agent Trout steps in to use the rioting for his own agenda.
Now at first I thought this Agent Trout guy would have some kind of motive related to being one of Ice Bear's shady enemies or having encountered the Baby Bears in the past and them having accidentally ruined his life in some way. But no.....he is just a full blown racist that wants to lock up everyone that's different, even Bears he's never met. His units shove the Bears around forcefully, and Trout makes it clear to Murphy that his goal is to "capture them" no matter any violent cost.
Meanwhile Grizz/Panda/Ice Bear(mixed family) are so fearful that they feel they have to flee the country(to Canada). But they get stopped right at the border because they do not have passports and are detained by Trout who locks them all in cages and tries to send and split their family "back where they came from".
Grizz frees all the other different shape/size/color bears and Trout goes on a psychotic rant. "You think you belong? You are nothing but some filthy mindless beasts". Grizz's ending comeback to him after the stand-off is that "nature adapts".
Eventually Officer Murphy(who had passively let this go on too long) finally does the right thing and arrests Trout. #OneGoodCop?
The film ends with Officer Murphy letting all the other abused Bears come live in society. Grizz/Panda/Ice Bear are no longer misunderstood minorities as the city becomes a half-bear/half-human population. Now our main characters are more than just bared and tolerated. "Ice Bear welcomes change".

I'm just glad the saga around this movie finally has some closure, and I'll be able to see it at home.
Also, the new poll should be "When are theatres coming back?".
Two androids are tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task.
Ridley Scott directed the first 2 episodes and serves as an executive producer.
Feb 26th, in a theater near you... assuming it's open.This looks like a really fun movie. Nice to see Bob Odenkirk in more things.
The comic series is so good. The status quo shifted a lot, which made it a very fun read. I'm really excited this is getting an adaptation because I think a lot of people will like it.

Well, just on the off chance you weren't aware, the first 3 episodes have already dropped.
and so far I'm into it.

Tetris may actually become the best video game movie ever made.
I ran into this by accident Wikipedia leaping, but I remember reading David Sheff's Game Over and the chapters on Tetris were the most gripping chapters. The fact that the main character is Henk Rogers is perfect.
you linked it twice, but that can't be the actual trailer.
So I went and looked it up....

^The real trailer.
I'll probably wait till it hits HBO Max, no hype for this at all.

I think in the comics he just takes a super serum much like Captain America. But whatever. You got radioactive spiders and jacked lions. How he gets his powers isn't that important. Maybe it'll be Deadpool good?
Where "Avengers: Infinity War" had Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Thanos, "Poohniverse" — from prolific horror collaborators Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios — will team Winnie the Pooh with murderous versions of figures including Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty for an IP-bludgeoning frenzy due for release in 2025. Indeed, on the poster, which Variety is also able to exclusively reveal, Pooh is seen swinging a bear trap on a chain while riding a vicious, bloodthirsty Bambi. Because why not?
Many of the characters set to appear in "Poohniverse" will first feature in standalone films coming this year and falling under Jagged Edge's version of the MCU, the Twisted Childhood Universe. Among them are "Bambi: The Reckoning," "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" and "Pinocchio Unstrung," plus last year's "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" and its sequel "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2," which is being released theatrically in the U.S. on March 26. The upcoming films will include various easter eggs linking them toward the upcoming horrifying crossover.
