Last week I wrote a report about Karl Urban, who is probably best known for his role of Leonard “Bones” McCoy in the newest STAR TREK film, possibly taking up the mantle of Judge Dredd from Sly Stallone. Although we knew very little then, we now know that Urban will definitely be taking up the role and some of his thoughts on the character.

Karl Urban to don the helmet in the new JUDGE DREDD?

We’ve known for a little bit that JUDGE DREDD was going to be hitting the big screen again in a much darker, grittier, and true to the comic film, as opposed to the infamous 1995 DREDD film. Although not much is known about the film other than it’s tone, we might have learned who will be donning the helmet and badge in the new film.

Check out the announcement, after the break.

Is THE FLASH speeding to theaters with a director?

It seems like DC comics is taking a note from the Marvel playbook by making films of their most famous properties. With news like David Goyer, co-writer of THE DARK KNIGHT, penning Superman’s next film, many are assuming they are trying to work towards a Justice League film. This news only feeds that fire, as The Flash might be the next hero to get the big-screen treatment. Continue reading “Is THE FLASH speeding to theaters with a director?”

THOR is probably the only Marvel movie I have ever questioned at all. Luckily, my fears have been washed away, now all I have is excitement. However, other fans are probably still wondering what they will do costume-wise, which sadly can be make or break for a superhero movie.

Luckily for us, one of the actors in the film, Joe Gatt, let us know a little bit about his character,  along with what we can expect from the sets and the costumes of the characters. Continue reading “Joe Gatt tells us about more about THOR”

CAPTAIN AMERICA to begin filming in June

CAPTAIN AMERICA

Aside from Hawkeye and Spider-Man, Captain America is one of my favorite Marvel heroes. You can’t even imagine my excitement when FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA was announced. I immediately had a rush of images and ideas about what the film would be like.

Then they admitted that the film would take place during World War II before Cap is frozen, and then The Avengers would find him in the AVENGERS film.  Continue reading “CAPTAIN AMERICA to begin filming in June”

Still for SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD

SCOTT PILGRIM still

SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD is a movie that has so much going for it. From an incredible cast, to an interesting story, and the incredible Edgar Wright directing. This is one of the first looks we have had at the film and, judging by the still, it seems that they got the look down just right.

SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD is based off the comic series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, and is the story of Scott Pilgrim, the bassist for “Sex Bob-omb.” Upon meeting the girl of his dreams, he must face her ex-boyfriends and defeat them before she will be his.

The film went into post-production a while back, which means we probably aren’t too far from away from a teaser and trailer. With the successes that Edgar Wright’s past films have been, I’m sure he has been given everything he needs to make this movie really great. SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD currently does not have an official release date, and is tentatively set for 2010.
