Anne Hathaway Rumored to be Approached For a Part in Spider-Man 4

I don’t know if Felicia Hardy is going to be a villain in Spider-Man 4, but the rumors for a female part are so ubiqitous, Rachel McAdams and Julia Stiles having been rumored in as many days, that there must be some large role that necessitates the inclusion of a well-known actress. The rumors...

John Woo Not Directing Caliber, Has no Interest in Superhero Movies

Remember that announced movie based on the comic book called “Caliber”, that re-imagined King Arthur and his knights as gunfighters instead of, well, knights? Word was, John Woo was coming onboard to direct the film, but that was over a year ago. According to Woo, who is currently in the...

The CW to Take Another Stab at Warren Ellis’ Global Frequency TV Show

I’ve read a lot of Warren Ellis’ comic book work, but I’ve never read his “Global Frequency”. Initially I thought this was the comic series “Planetary”, but apparently they are two separate works. In “Frequency”, a woman name Miranda Zero leads a...

With Rachel McAdams having already denied rumors that she was talking to producers of “Spider-Man 4″ to play Felicia Hardy aka The Black Cat in Sam Raimi’s latest Spidey film, the question remains: is the Black Cat really going to be in the movie, and if so, who will play her? According...

Rachel McAdams Calls Bullshit on Black Cat in Spidey 4 Rumor

See, this is why we don’t “break” movie news on the site — it sucks when you’re wrong and your fellow movie bloggers come down on you like hungry little vultures looking for a piece of meat. That, and no one ever sends me anything worth breaking. Ahem. Anyways, remember...

Kenneth Branagh’s Thor Lands its Warriors Three

I don’t read nearly enough “Thor” comic books to know who these Warriors Three guys are, or if they’re all that important to the large scope of a Thor movie, but the trades apparently think they’re big enough of a deal to report on their casting. And so, here is the casting...

Spider-Man Finally Exposed for the Criminal He Really Is

Oh, Spidey, where did it all go wrong? Was it when Sam Raimi decided to completely and unnecessarily screw around with your uncle’s murder in the last movie? Or when your best bud became the second Green Goblin and started trying to slice you in half while riding, of all things, a jet-powered skateboard?...

Four More for Bruce Willis’ Red

Based on the Warren Ellis comic book mini-series, “Red” stars Bruce Willis is an ex-CIA agent who has retired to green pastures, when young high-tech assassins come after him. It’s a nifty idea for a movie, and one that Willis should be able to play in his sleep. It is, after all, just...

Dane Cook as the Riddler in Batman 3? Only in my Dreams.

Or is that nightmare? I can’t remember which. In any case, MTV, as they are wont to do, recently asked comedian/actor Dane Cook what comic book character he’d most like to play, and Cook mentioned The Riddler for the Nolan “Batman” films. Or as Cook puts it, “that would...

The Official Kick-Ass Teaser Trailer is Mildly Kick-Ass

The “Kick-Ass” official site says this teaser trailer isn’t set to debut until 3 days from now on Myspace, but this vid that’s already up at Myspace’s Trailer Park says differently. It’s a short teaser, and pretty much what you already saw in the Comic Con bootleg...

Rachel McAdams as the Black Cat in Spidey 4?

Hey, I’ve heard of worst rumors than the lovely Rachel McAdams in a Spidey movie. Then again, I kinda wish they hadn’t gotten rid of Dallas Bryce Howard’s Gwen Stacy (one of the brighter light in the much-maligned “Spider-Man 3″, if you ask me), but what are you gonna do,...

Sgt. Rock is Back … But Not in WWII

It seems like everyone with some action movie clout has tried to make a “Sgt. Rock” movie at one point or another in Hollywood, with each big name eventually falling by the wayside. The latest stab at bringing the tough Sergeant and his merry killing men to the big screen comes courtesy of...

According to comic book movie go-to guy David Goyer, who right now is busy shepherding the show “FlashForward” on TV, and who has just been handed the reins to the “Ghost Rider” franchise, his take on the guy with the flaming skull won’t necessarily be a reboot of the series....

Bruce Willis’ Red Adds Mary-Louise Parker and John C. Reilly

Not content to have just a bunch of old dudes in their movie, Summit Entertainment has added two younger castmembers to their live-action adaptation of Warren Ellis’ “Red”. Well, “younger” in comparison to star Willis and co-stars Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren, anyway....

Bruce Willis’ Red Gets a Little Classier with Helen Mirren

I don’t have a clue what Helen Mirren is doing in an action movie starring Bruce Willis called “Red”, but word from the trades is that she’s joining the cast of the Willis actioner, and she won’t exactly be playing his mum, as they say across the pond. Instead, Mirren will...

Black Summer Optioned aka Another Warren Ellis Comic Book Heads to the Movies

I hate to be all pessimistic on ya, but let’s face it, Warren Ellis’ “Black Summer” ain’t ever gonna get made into a live-action big-budget Hollywood movie. And without the big budget, it’s never going to be done right, which probably means it won’t get made....

But What Mark Millar REALLY Wants to Do is Direct

Sure, he’s a famous comic book writer, but what Scotsman Mark Millar (writer of “Wanted” and the upcoming “Kick-Ass”) really, really wants to do is direct big action movies. Okay, maybe not really wants to do, but he’s been offered the opportunity, and the writer of...

By Odin’s Beard! Anthony Hopkins is Thor’s Daddy

Surprise? Don’t be. “Thor” is being directed by Kenneth Branagh, after all. Once Marvel Studios hired on the Shakespeare man, it was pretty much “anything goes” when it comes to the studio’s Asgard product. According to the trades, Hannibal Lecter himself has all but...
