According to Deadline, Alan Taylor, of HBO’s “A Games of Thrones,” will be helming Marvel’s “Thor 2” after Patty Jenkins left the project for “creative reasons.” “Creative reasons” is in quotes because whatever was the real reason that Jenkins left the project, I am not sure that creativity had anything to do with it.
The web site for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” has been live for a few days now, and from what I have heard about the film–beyond a basic plot synopsis–I find disappointing because it appears that they’re going to tackle his origin. Again. For the most part I enjoyed Sam Raimi’s take on the character–with […]
I found this makeup test for The Green Goblin, from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002. It’s visually closer in appearance to the character from the Marvel comics, and certainly will not bring any comparisons to the Power Rangers, as the version that Raimi finally used, did. via SuperHeroHype
According to Deadline, Patty Jenkins has left as director of the sequel to 2011’s “Thor.” This is remarkable because she just got the assignment a month or two ago. Marvel Studios can be notoriously difficult to work with, and more than a little bit tight with the purse strings, though I don’t want to assume […]
According to the folks and Spiderman.ru and Collider.com, the image to your left is The Lizard, from the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man.” I tend to believe that it’s accurate because of this. I am not too sure how I feel about it, mainly because he looks too ‘human,’ though it’s hard to tell his size […]
According to Collider, some say that Simon Baker, of “The Mentalist” would make a good Doctor Strange. While I am sure that he could handle the role–after all, he’s a decent actor–there’s no way that he is a good fit for the character. Mainly because he looks nothing like him. In the past, I have […]
Frank Castle, when his family is gunned down by mobsters, declares an all-out war on crime as The Punisher. As a comic character, his popularity at times has approached that of DC Comics’ Batman, though he never successfully made the leap to feature films. First Dolph Lundgren tackled the character, and while physically his portrayal […]
More evidence of a circumstantial nature that Marvel (buttressed by the fairly deep pockets of The Walt Disney Co.) is preparing a feature film based on Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. On May 19 I wrote that various sources believed that Tom Welling was being courted for the role by Marvel, despite being […]
Rumor has it that the trailer for “The Avengers” will be released next Wednesday, five days (excluding the weekend) from today. While an interesting rumor, I would take it with a grain of salt. That being said, it would make more sense to me to come out prior to Wednesday because you have the upcoming […]
Edited 7/25 917, 949, 950, 951 If you’re looking for a Captain America whose roots drink heavily of the 1940’s, you’re in the wrong movie. If you’re looking for nostalgic entertainment of a time that’s in the vein of Indiana Jones, you’re found it. Karina Longworth, of The Village Voice, criticizes Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: […]
