Say, Have You Heard of The Dark Knight Yet?
In case you haven’t heard, Warner Bros. is about to release a little movie of theirs called “The Dark Knight”. I hear it’s their prestige film of the year, and that they’re expecting to lose money on it, although it would just tickle them pink if it ended up making a profit. That’s a bit [...]

Via TheGoon.com, homepage of “The Goon” comic book, comes news that David Fincher has plans to bring the supernatural comic book to the big screen via a CG film. Or as they put it: “THEGOON.COM is proud to announce that THE GOON has been optioned by acclaimed director and producer DAVID FINCHER and Academy-Award nominated [...]

Let’s face it, Wolverine’s biggest draw are those claws. Without them, he’d be like the Beatles without Lennon, Butch without Sundance, or The View without Rosie. It just ain’t right! So of course, every promo image from the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” will feature the feral Canucklehead and those claws of his, such as the [...]

July 11 is fast approaching, which means the second unleashing of Hellboy and crew onto a suspecting populace (there may be one or two who don’t know he’s coming). To get ready for that monumental date (well, if you’re dying to see the movie, it’s pretty monumental, otherwise it’s just that date that means it’s [...]

That wacky Joker. If Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan aren’t careful, the Joker may end up being the star of “The Dark Knight”, which would be a problem if the Joker ended up dead at the end of the movie. Of course, that’s how we’d prefer the film end, instead of leaving the Joker alive [...]

The way Matthew Fox’s movie career is going, J.J. Abrams and the Lost gang better wrap that island story up quick, because they might be losing themselves their leading man very soon. The latest news from the island has Matthew Fox jumping on board as leading man of an action movie based on an as-yet-unpublished [...]

In Lexi Alexander’s reboot/sorta-sequel to Jonathan Hensleigh’s 2004 “The Punisher”, “War Zone” swaps a leading man and the bright, tropic daylight of Florida for the gritty, filthy alleyways and nights of New York City. Basically, Alexander is giving you Frank Castle in his natural environment. (Seriously, what was Hensleigh thinking with his version of The [...]

At the rate that Hollywood is cranking through comic books to fill up its studios, film worthy comics may soon become as scarce as crude oil. The latest entry is “Wanted,” helmed by Russian action golden boy du juor, Timur Bekmambetov (director of the currently in progress “Night Watch” vampire trilogy). Based on [...]

“Night Watch” (2004) put Russian director Timur Bekmambetov on the map. Based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, it tells of the ancient battle between light (good) and dark (evil) and the man who will decide which side will triumph. Why did this Russian language film make such a splash? It’s a visual stunner with [...]

Chances are Mark Millar’s latest comic book, “War Heroes”, will never make it as a movie, even if it Hollywood tells him they want to make it into one, and is willing to give him oodles of money to let them try. But according to Millar, that’s not the case with “Kick-Ass”, his latest comic [...]

In April of this year, Zack Snyder and the Watchmen gang asked viewers and fans of Watchmen to produce their own 1980s-inspired TV commercials and send them in; the chosen winners got $1000, but the biggest prize is having their commercials show up in the background of the Watchmen movie itself. Yes, that’s right, Warner [...]

Well yeah, probably, since they own the characters and all, so of course they’ll be assembling the upcoming “Avengers” movie with all the characters they currently have rights to. That includes: Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, The Hulk, and Iron Man. According to Wikipedia, that’s slightly off from the original comic roster, which included Ant-Man, Wasp, [...]
