Does Matthew Vaughn want to adapt Gaiman's SANDMAN?

“Sandman” is one of the most revered and highly praised comics of all time, very much like “Watchmen.” Fans have argued for ages if “Sandman” should be adapted to film or not. Much like “Watchmen” (which was ulimately turned into a feature last year), some argue that it is an unfilmable movie. But would it change fans’ minds if Matthew Vaughn, director of KICK-ASS, was at the helm?

Kevin Smith pitching HIT SOMEBODY to studios

Kevin Smith is one of my favorite writers in film today. Even in his most mentally void films, there is still a level of witty and clever humor. He really hit his stride with ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO, which he is following up with COP OUT (which Smith has not written and is only directing). Unfortunately, COP OUT doesn’t look as good as we may have been hoping, but Smith is now trying to get the ball rolling on HIT SOMEBODY and get a studio attached.

Could Danny Boyle want Katie Featherston of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY for 127 HOURS?

I’m not surprised at all that the amazing Katie Featherston would make it big time after PARANORMAL ACTIVITY came out. She gave one of the most real performances I’ve seen in a very long time. Apparently Danny Boyle liked her too, as she auditioned for a part in 127 HOURS and read a scene with him.

We reported earlier that Danny Boyle was making a film called 127 HOURS starring James Franco as Aron Ralston. Ralston is a mountain climber who was pinned underneath a boulder for five days, and amputated his arm to survive. The film is supposed to be very realistic, and will even feature an hour without dialogue. Featherston would fit right into the realistic tone, as she has proven her ability in that arena before.

SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE gets a red band trailer

Jay Baruchel is a really underrated actor in my opinion, and I’m glad he is finally starting to land some leading roles in movies. Some of his upcoming projects look really great – like HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON and THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE, and then there’s SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

A while back we gave you the green band trailer for this upcoming rom-com romp, and now Dreamworks has given us a red band to feast our dirty minds on. Unfortunately, this is the most tame red band I’ve ever seen. The only funny scene in the trailer was the shaving bit. I will see this movie though, mainly because I like who they cast as his friends.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE gets a poster

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE is one of those movies that shouldn’t look very good, but somehow does. With the original green band trailer, I wasn’t sold on this one at all. Once the red band trailer came out though, my perception changed. Now we have a poster to satisfy us until the movie comes out.

WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS gets a teaser

The original WALL STREET film was a critical and financial success when it was released in 1987. When the sequel was first announced it lead to both fan excitement and unrest. The main selling point is that Michael Douglas will be reprising what is arguably his best role ever, one that led him to win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Now we are getting a first look as to what to expect from the film in this teaser. It doesn’t reveal the plot at all, mainly just that Gordon Gekko gets out of prison at the beginning. And there are some shots of Shia LeBeouf interacting with Douglas. Continue reading “WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS gets a teaser” →

Zac Efron to star in Brian Michael Bendis' FIRE?

Brian Michael Bendis is arguably one of the best and most appreciated comic book authors working today. Before he became Marvel’s go-to writer, he made a name for himself writing independent mystery and thriller books. Now one of those graphic novels will hit the big screen, and is likely to star Zac Efron. Continue reading “Zac Efron to star in Brian Michael Bendis' FIRE?” →

Character concept art from GREEN LANTERN

In the past couple of years, GREEN LANTERN has become one of DC’s flagship series. What was once an old and tired idea and character has been revitalized thanks to the brilliant writing of Geoff Johns. As we all know, there is a GREEN LANTERN movie on its way that is being directed by Martin Campbell. Now we have somewhat of an idea what the film’s visual style will look like, as some concept art has come out of Kilowog and Tomar-Re.

Kevin Feige reveals what AVENGERS will be in the film

THE AVENGERS is easily one of the biggest comic book movie endeavors ever and one of the most anticipated movies in recent history. Fans have discussed theories as to who would be in the film endlessly, and false rumors like that of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye have only fueled the fire.

Kevin Feige has now revealed exactly who will be in THE AVENGERS, and ultimately created another interesting theory. Check out what he had to say, and the theory that has come about after the jump! Continue reading “Kevin Feige reveals what AVENGERS will be in the film” →

Empire's fold-out cover is KICK-ASS

I know, I should be tired of the endless onslaught of KICK-ASS posters, trailers, pictures, and other marketing promotions they have done. But the movie looks so incredibly kick-ass that every single thing that is released gets me doubly stoked. Now Empire wants their shot at the KICK-ASS hype train, and they deliver big (daddy) time.

Empire has released pictures of their upcoming March issue that will include a fold-out cover featuring some of the main heroes. The cover features Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, and Big Daddy on an extremely stylized cover. I usually wouldn’t pick up a magazine for this sort of thing, but it looks really awesome. This film is easily one of this year’s films that I am most excited to see.
