My thoughts and stuff…
A couple of months back, I reported on a new version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS being produced, and that it was being written by Peter Straughan (THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS). Aside from the fact that it was being made and that Straughan was penning it, we knew nothing else about the project. But according to The Hollywood Reporter‘s Heat Vision blog, it looks like Doug Liman might be the man to realize the book to screen. Continue reading “Doug Liman to helm THE THREE MUSKETEERS”
THOR is next year’s big Marvel summer movie, and I know it has one of the biggest curiosity factors of any comic book film ever. Almost nothing is known about the actual production of the film, however; we just know the cast and a couple of plot details. Luckily, director Kenneth Branagh has opened up about the film to the LA Times.
You can see what he had to say after the jump! Continue reading “Kenneth Branagh lets us in on THOR details”
I remember anxiously awaiting the original RESIDENT EVIL film back in 2002, being that I was obsessed with the game series. Despite the fact that the first film had almost nothing to do with the game series, it was still a very enjoyable film. Even though the subsequent two sequels do involve the games more, they haven’t been recieved as warmly as the original. Now director Paul W. S. Anderson is taking another stab at the series, and we’ve got the first images. Continue reading “First images from RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE”
I know, I know. What a day for news like this to come out, it’s an awful shame. Finding articles to write about today is really difficult with all the fake stories out there and it wouldn’t be surprising for THE AVENGERS to be the target of April Fool’s jokes. But IESB is claiming that Joss Whedon is on the short list to direct Marvel’s THE AVENGERS, and assuring that this news is not a joke.

After the TWILIGHT film series blew up, it was pretty much assumed that Stephenie Meyer’s other novel, The Host, would be adapted to film. This book is a science-fiction romance intended for adult audiences. People will soon be able to pass judgment on this film adaptation, because it is on its way to production quicker than most TWILIGHT fans are coming of age.

The Big Bang Theory is a very popular show on CBS that has its foot right in the middle of geek and nerd culture. A large part of the show’s success is due to Kaley Cuoco’s portrayal of Penny, the not-so-nerdy hot neighbor. Now, it looks like she is taking the jump into film to play a different role, the hot sister in I, HOP. Continue reading “Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory joins I, HOP”
THE HANGOVER 2 has been a sure thing for a very long time now, but technically the cast wasn’t. When the first film was made, there was no expectation that it would reach the ridiculous success it ultimately did, so franchise deals for the main cast weren’t established. Of course, no one doubted they would come back for the second film, and now it is a sure thing as the cast have officially signed deals. Continue reading “Cast of THE HANGOVER officially signs on for sequel”
We’ve been keeping tabs on “The Walking Dead” TV series every step of the way, starting when Frank Darabont expressed interest in adapting the comic, to when AMC officially picked it up. Official word is out from AMC, and they are going to produce six episodes to start, with Frank Darabont writing and directing the the pilot. Continue reading “Six episodes of "The Walking Dead" for AMC announced with rumored casting”
After the premiere its trailer last week, the buzz on SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD has been overwhelmingly positive (twitter search its title). A film that was already anxiously anticipated by a large fan base, has grown even larger by word of mouth. I know I’ve shown the trailer to at least 10 people, all of which are now very excited. Now, thanks to Gamervision we have a deep look into all the work that has been put into the film, and how close it is to the original source material.
You can check out the video after the jump! Continue reading “Frame by frame comic comparison of SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD”
The announcement of Chris Evans as CAPTAIN AMERICA is one that was met with very little contention, and many fans were very pleased with the choice. Of course, everyone still has their worries. One of the biggest fears about the CAP movie is that they will change the costume up too much. The film’s director Joe Johnston responded to these claims, but the fear still remains. Reports that THOR’s costume would be spot on to the comic do aid many doubts.
Lucky for us, Film School Rejects got some Fan Made FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA posters that give you a taste as to what Evans in the costume would be like. You can check it after the jump! Continue reading “Chris Evans in fan-made CAPTAIN AMERICA posters”
