Transformers International Posters Are Friggin’ Awesome
AICN has landed three new spanking “Transformers” posters, of the International flavor, and they look pretty awesome. Maybe it’s just the fanboy geek in me, or the fact that I have seen basically every “Transformers” cartoon episode from the ’80s, but I really love these simple, but so cool close-up looks at Optimus Prime and [...]

MTV thinks they know who the villain in the upcoming Jon Favreau “Iron Man” movie is — and it’s not the Mandarin. This, despite evidence to the contrary, namely Favreau telling a Comic Con audience in 2006 that the villain for the movie would, indeed, be the Mandarin. So what is MTV’s basis for believing [...]

The Hollywood Reporter recently caught up with Frank Miller in Cannes and asked him about the Spirit, and has hosted a view of the interview on their Cannes page here. (Scroll down to the middle and click on the “Cannes: Frank Miller” choice) Frank doesn’t really say a whole lot about “The Spirit”, except confirming [...]

This is certainly good news. When they announced the “He-Man” movie a few days back (read here), I wasn’t sure if it would work. Then again, I kept having flashbacks to that crappy Dolph Lundgren version, where the characters got zapped to Earth by some magical tunnel or wormhole or some other half-ass way. Today [...]

You would be forgiven for thinking that Marvel Comics is rolling in the dough, with their creations dominating the box office with goliaths like “The X-Men”, “Fantastic Four”, and “Spider-Man” films. You would be forgiven for thinking this, but you would be very wrong. Forbes has an excellent article about how Marvel Comics is barely [...]

(5/24/07: Corrections made to the article.) A little while ago (about five days ago, in fact) there was great news that John Dahl was in talks to direct “Punisher 2″. Now it seems as if the same site that brought us that potentially insanely good news has brought us bad news — namely that the [...]

Thanks to Dalek who pointed us to this new “Iron Man” poster over at TheMovieBlog.com. It’s nothing new, basically what you’ve already seen before, but with the addition of the Iron Man logo and some CGI background in. I like it. It’s simple, cool, geeky, and shows off the armor very well. The live-action “Iron [...]

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the World’s Mightiest Mortal, aka Captain Marvel? Hey, why not, I’ve seen worst casting for comic book movies. And as he’s proved in “The Rundown” and other ventures, Johnson has the physicality to pull off a superhero role. God knows he has the bulging muscles to do it. MTV reports [...]

Fresh of the box office disaster of “Grind House”, Robert Rodriguez is jumping into more friendly fare — barely dressed babes in space, also known as “Barbarella”, the remake of the 1968 original starring Jane Fonda. Apparently producer Dino De Laurentiis himself came to Rodriguez to sell him on directing the science fiction remake, says [...]

Gerard Butler, the hardest working man in Show Business, recently talked to MTV about two of his upcoming roles — playing a young Jimmy Malone in the “Untouchables” prequel and the possibility (or not) of doing something in Zach Snyder’s “Watchmen”. He seems excited about stepping into Sean Connery’s shoes, but had this to say [...]
