I caught the Ant-Man trailer–for some reason it’s still being called a “teaser”–and I have to say, it looks awesome. You’ve got Paul Rudd in his Ant-Man costume, running about, riding an ant and looking bulked-up. As I said, it’s pretty awesome. You also see Corey Stoll strolling down a corridor, and I have to say […]
If you’ve seen videos of cosplay or the various ‘Cons’ the first thing you notice is that they feature all sorts of quirky, colorful (and often brilliant) costumes, which is why it’s understandable if you thought that that was what comic geek culture was all about (besides costumes and the–virtual–worship of certain movies and comic characters). […]
Kevin Feige, you cheeky bastard. It appears that you pulled a fast one. When the trailer for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron was leaked prior to it appearing on Marvel’s Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assumed that that was the end of this story. Sure, Marvel Studios handed things pretty gracefully, but I thought it was […]
Marvel Studios has just released their production slate up to the year 2020, and it goes without saying that unlike their Distinguished Competition they did so not at a shareholder’s meeting, but at a press event dedicated for that purpose. Marvel, led my mastermind Kevin Feige, have announced a lot that will have fans of […]
I have no idea how long this one is going to be live. It’s supposed to be first shown during Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. but you know how the Interwebs are. It’s pretty good visually–in fact, exceptionally so–but could be a bit sharper. I’ll post the official release as well. Check it out! In case […]
Every since Joaquin Phoenix decided to pass of the role of Marvel Studios’ Master of the Mystic Arts, Doctor Strange, all sorts of names are being bandied about, such as Ethan Hawke and Keanu Reeves. The latest is Ewan McGregor, and I think it’s unlikely (Ethan Hawke would be my choice, and it helps that he’s worked […]
According to Robert Downey, Jr. Iron Man 4 is happening and truth be told I am a little torn by the decision. It’s a good thing because Downey, for millions of people (including this writer) embodies Tony Stark. It’s not such a good thing because Marvel has to know that they’re just delaying the inevitable. Originally […]
Bob Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis of studioADI, the practical special effects house behind a lot of your favorite movies, including the Predator and Alien films, as well as the upcoming Kickstarter-funded practical horror film, Harbinger Down) are two men that clearly enjoy their work. You can see the devotion and craftsmanship that their effects shop brings to […]
The Equalizer is going to be a monster, despite the R-rating. Denzel Washington is as reliable as it gets, as far as consistently entertaining actors go. I also like how the characters that he tends to play don’t overcompensate in terms of their physicality, by which I mean you can see from the trailer that Washington is […]
I have written on women superheroes in movies in the past, and thought that it was a topic worth revisiting, especially since some have decided that Marvel Studios somehow has a duty to make a feature with a female lead. Which is nonsense, but don’t get me wrong, inclusiveness is a great thing. All of us […]
