Matthew Vaughn No Longer Directing Thor
Well this is interesting news. When Marvel Studios, buoyed by their massive “Iron Man” box office take was announcing their future slate earlier this week, this story showed up in The Hollywood Reporter but not a whole lot of people noticed a very important line about halfway into the article. What’s so interesting about it? [...]

Leave it to Mark Millar, the guy behind “Wanted”, a comic book limited series where the bad guys win every time, to make a comic book about a high school kid (with emphasis on kid) who decides one day he’s going to be a superhero. So he makes his own homemade costume, comes up with [...]

Marvel Studios, perhaps floating on Cloud Nine after the runaway success of “Iron Man”, has already announced that they expect “Iron Man 2″ to be out by 2010, and a year after that, “The Avengers” movie. The latter is, without a doubt, a humongous undertaking, what with all the major characters involved, but according to [...]

Thought Frank Miller’s teaser trailer for “The Spirit” was groovy and can’t wait to see it? Well you’re in luck, because Lionsgate feels your pain and they’ve decided to move the film’s release date up from a January 16, 2009 release to a December 25, 2008 release. Yup, you’re going to get into the Spirit, [...]

It’s interesting to note that “Watchmen” isn’t even due out until 2009, but already we’ve seen a ton of behind-the-scenes videos and official promos for the movie, including character designs. Plus, with the film having already wrapped and is currently in post-production, you have to wonder how long it’ll be before something big from the [...]

Before we get to the potentially ridiculous news of Matthew McConaughey even being considered to play the role of Captain America in Marvel’s upcoming “The First Avenger: Captain America”, let me just say this: if not for Marvel Studios, who are still not yet fully entrenched in the ways of Hollywood, I don’t think a [...]

When the most recent “Dark Knight” trailer was released, we pulled some screenshots from the trailer that showed the evolution of Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart) from crusading Gotham D.A. to Two-Face. Or, well, we sorta see Two-Face — at least his “good” side (see image below). Now someone has found Two-Face’s “bad” side, [...]

In a continuation of today’s announcement by Marvel Studios about their upcoming movie slate, Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel has indicated that just as Nick Fury showed up at the end of “Iron Man” to talk about “The Avengers Initiative”, the Hulk, soon to show up in his rebooted movie this Summer, may also cameo [...]

To no one’s surprise, “Iron Man” cleaned up at the box office with a worldwide take of $200 million in its first week of release. With that in mind, it’s then no surprise that Marvel has already announced that “Iron Man 2″ will be coming our way very soon — as in, in 2010. Which [...]

It’s actually not all that new. It’s the trailer that was posted and bootleg on the net last week, the result of that wacky Joker scavenger hunt that yielded a new trailer, before Warner Bros. went around pulling every single one of them from the net. Now they’ve officially released it online, and yes, it [...]

Hollywood has been mining the comic book shelves for quite some time, but has been hitting it particularly heavily over the last decade. Everything from the classics to the new-age stuff has been tapped at one time or another (several times, even), but they’ve met with mixed results. For every “Batman Begins,” there [...]

I know what you’re thinking: “Who the hell is Josh Schwartz”? You might not know the name, but you definitely know his handwriting on TV. Josh Schwartz (pictured, left) is a pretty big name in TV, having created FOX’s The OC before wondering over to NBC with one of last year’s surprise hits, the geektastic [...]

After a lot of talk and debate and rumor mongering, it turns out that Samuel L. Jackson will be showing up at the end of “Iron Man” in a brief cameo as Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD, who comes to Tony Stark aka Iron Man to talk about “the Avengers Initiative”. The scene takes place [...]

Apparently that much ballyhooed Nick Fury (as played by, of course, Samuel L. Jackson) cameo in the upcoming “Iron Man” was missing from advancing screenings Paramount held for critics, because I’ve read on a number of sites that have reviewed the film that Nick Fury does not have a cameo. Not true, says Australian moviegoers, [...]

Coming on the heels of those new “Incredible Hulk” pictures, comes a brand spanking new trailer. Let’s face it — when we go to see Louis Lettierer’s “The Incredible Hulk”, we’re all going to go see the moment when the Hulk faces off against the Abomination in the city streets. Everything else up to that [...]

Some new images from Edward Norton’s reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” have popped up online for your perusal pleasure. More looks at the Hulk ripping stuff up, and better looks at Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, aka The Abomination. I don’t think there are anything overly new here, but a couple that we’ve not seen [...]

As if you couldn’t get enough “Dark Knight” material, especially the posters, there’s yet another poster for the movie that has surfaced. This one is being called an “outdoor artwork”, which I take to mean it was designed to be displayed outdoors, on billboards, walls, the sides of buses, etc. To be honest with you, [...]

Apparently last night a bunch of fanboys were running around the country following the Joker’s instructions via the “Dark Knight” viral site whysoserious.com, and some of them ended up at a theater that was showing the latest trailer for the movie. And because these were such enterprising kids, they of course snapped the trailer with [...]

Because you couldn’t get enough of that very cool “Dark Knight” poster where Batman plasters his Bat insignia across the face of a building in an explosion (in real life, we’re hoping Bats don’t make a habit out of this, defacing public property and what have you for the sake of vanity), five new, and [...]

Let’s face it, boys and girls, only an act of God will stop the coming of an “Iron Man” sequel or two after the first one opens in theaters in a few days and blows the doors off the box office. And even God will probably be a fan of ol Shellhead. There is just [...]
