Joe Quesada gets a promotion; Marvel fans rejoice

This is why Marvel has been finding so much recent success, because it seems like every big move they make is so damn smart. Joe Quesada has been instrumental in Marvel’s successes since he became the Editor-in-Chief a decade ago. Many of their more daring and inventive story arcs are because he took a chance, and allowed stuff that others probably wouldn’t.

Well, he just got a promotion to Chief Creative Officer at Marvel, which will make his pull even stronger in Marvel’s other endeavors that aren’t just the funny books. Continue reading “Joe Quesada gets a promotion; Marvel fans rejoice” →

Chloe Moretz sure to wow again in HICK

Chloe Moretz has been on the web journalists’ radar for a pretty good while now. After popping up in the highly acclaimed 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and then showing the world that she can KICK-ASS as Hit-Girl, we all are excited to see whatever she does next. One of the next projects she’s lined up for is HICK, which sounds extremely depressing if you ask me. Continue reading “Chloe Moretz sure to wow again in HICK” →

Finally! Details on Frank Miller's 300 prequel, XERXES, emerge

It would be hard to forget the pierced evil menace Xerxes from Frank Miller and Zach Snyder’s hit film 300. Everybody loves Xerxes!

Finally some details are coming out, and we’re getting an idea as to what the project will be. Continue reading “Finally! Details on Frank Miller's 300 prequel, XERXES, emerge” →

KING KONG (1933) to swat planes in HD later this year

I’m sure Merian C. Cooper would be very happy if he got wind that his cinematic masterpiece was getting the Blu-ray treatment, at least half as happy as I am about it. The original 1933 version of KING KONG will finally follow the footsteps of it’s 2005 brother and will have an HD home release brought over from Skull Island, most likely by way of boat. Continue reading “KING KONG (1933) to swat planes in HD later this year” →

McG to produce THE DUFF

McG has been in the producer game for a pretty good while now, although most of it has been television. He has produced a movie or two, but that is much less than the sheer mass of television work he has done.

GATW Podcast Ep. 11: Max Pain

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m still trying to figure out why the official theme song for PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME isn’t Cher’s “If I could turn back time.” I can’t help but wonder things like this with PRINCE OF PERSIA being this weekends big summer action movie, one that just so happens to be based off a video game series. Video game movies often aren’t received very well, but they keep coming out. But can PRINCE OF PERSIA break the cycle with its high production costs and quality actors? I guess we’ll find out, but until then let’s talk the good, the bad, and the video game movie.

Hit the break for the episode and its synopsis! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 11: Max Pain” →

Although I reported a couple months ago that Bryan Singer’s JACK THE GIANT KILLER would be shooting this summer, plans have unfortunately changed, and it looks like it won’t be happening until February of next year. Oftentimes a delay like this can be to fix a film that isn’t working out, but is that the case for this film? Continue reading “JACK THE GIANT KILLER production delayed till February” →

Bruce Willis to escape THE TOMB for Summit?

There’s no argument that Bruce Willis is completely badass, and one of the best action stars of all time. This is probably why I get excited anytime I see his name attached to a film. Summit seems to have the same sentiment, as they have began early talks with him to star in their prison escape film THE TOMB. Continue reading “Bruce Willis to escape THE TOMB for Summit?” →

At this point, very little is really known about the SHERLOCK HOLMES sequel, other than that both Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law will be returning, and that Moriarty will be the villain. Now that filming is quickly approaching, facts are starting to come out regarding the big follow-up. One of these facts is that Rachel McAdams will return, but in a much smaller capacity.
