Kevin Spacey Confirmed for Superman Sequel Man of Steel

It would appear all those stories about Kevin Spacey retiring from movies to do theater was a tad premature. In fact, Spacey claims he never said he was going to retire, only that he would concentrate more on theater, but still do movies. At least, that’s what he says now. In any case, Spacey seems [...]

Watchmen Update: Billy Crudup is … Doctor Manhattan

Besides having a name that probably got him picked on brutally as a kid, “Mission Impossible III’s” Billy Crudup would seem to have landed a major role in Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Watchmen” adaptation — that of Dr. Manhattan, the comic’s only superpowered individual, who could basically do anything, but chooses not to. As I recall, [...]

Jon Favreau Updates Iron Man

Speaking of directors with Myspace sites (who DOESN’T have a Myspace site nowadays? — well, I don’t, actually, but I digress), Jon Favreau has updated fans via another letter at his Myspace page about “Iron Man”, and apparently it’s wrapped production! (Geez, didn’t they just started shooting this thing a few months ago? That was [...]

Michael Jai White is Gamble in The Dark Knight

David Banner may have been such a comic book geek that he named himself after the Incredible Hulk’s human alter ego, but that still didn’t get him the part of Gamble in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight” (last reported here). According to Dark Horizon, the winner of the Gamble sweepstakes is Michael Jai White, [...]

Watchmen Rumor: Thomas Jane as … The Comedian

If it seems like I’m posting way too much about “Watchmen”, there is a reason for that: I am, and I need to. Why do I “need to”? Because if done right, or if even done HALF right, “Watchmen” has the potential to break the mold of what people consider “comic book movies”. It is [...]

Wilmer Valderrama in The Dead One (El Muerto) Trailer, Poster

Fez does the Crow. That’s the shorthand description of “El Muerto” I came up with when I first heard about the movie last year. “El Muerto”, aka “The Dead One”, stars Wilmer Valderrama from “That ’70s Show” as a 20-something man who dies and gets resurrected while still wearing a white skull make-up (a “zombie [...]

Nostradamus Lives on in The Foundation

In case you haven’t already noticed, but comic books are the in thing in Hollywood nowadays. Everyone who is everyone, and everyone who is no one, has snapped up a comic book to develop into a movie. It doesn’t have to be icons like Captain America or Batman, it could be a comic no one [...]

WWII Comic Book Lost Squad Finds its Writers

The idea behind the comic book “Lost Squad”, by Chris Kirby, sounds a lot like the early parts of Mike Mignola’s “Hellboy”, especially the whole bigger-than-life aspect of it. But maybe I’m wrong. Anyways, Variety reports that Irish lads Stephen St. Leger and James Mather, former commercial directors known simply as Saint and Mather, have [...]

Sam Raimi Talks Spiderman 4, Sinister Six

We all know Sony is going to make another Spider-Man movie. Wait, let me amend that last statement: We all know Sony is going to make more Spider-Man MOVIES. Why? Because even the worst of the previous three films, part 3, is sitting at #11 in all-time money earners, and it’s still not dead yet. [...]

Movie Trailer: Superman/Doomsday Animated Movie

I remember reading the “Death of Superman” comic book storyline in the ’90s. I was in my heyday of comic book collecting back then. I actually had a real job, and could afford comics. Which I took full advantage of, building up quite the collection, if I do say so myself. The whole “Death of [...]
