The REAL Justice League Movie Plot Details?

Oh boy. Whoever it is at the studio that is orchestrating all these “leaks” of the Justice League scripts need a raise. They’ve got us Internet movie fanboys all in a twitter, running around with our heads stuck between our legs trying to “scoop” each other. A while ago, there was that script that Movie [...]

Nick Cassavetes to Direct Captain America Movie?

Let’s face it: Captain America gets no respect. Kids too “cool” for school shun his patriotic slant, and the comics killed the poor sap. (Well, as much as “killed” as you can get in a comic book, anyways.) So how could a Captain America movie even be possible in today’s Hollywood? A place where every [...]

The Powers That Be at Twentieth Century Fox has assigned a release date for their sure-to-be Summer tentpole film, the “X-Men” spin off “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Yes, that seems to be the full name for the Hugh Jackman Wolverine movie: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. My guess is that the Magneto spin-off will also be called “X-Men [...]

The Justice League Movie Sounds Very Superfriends Silly

Here’s the thing about this latest report on the upcoming Justice League movie — I just don’t believe it, mostly because, well, it all sounds like one big April Fools joke. Except, well, it’s not April, or anywhere close to being April, so I don’t know who is yanking the chains of the guys over [...]

David R. Ellis to Direct Brandon Routh in Dead of Night

So sue me, but I’m a big fan of director David R. Ellis, who wowed with “Final Destination 2″, for my money the best of the “Destination” films.
