Been a slow news day, though I stumbled upon something interesting at SuperHeroHype. According to Joe Carnahan, Fox’s upcoming “Daredevil” reboot is dead on arrival. This isn’t surprising, if it happens to be the case, because the only way that Fox could reboot the franchise would be for them to turn over the rights to […]
I was over at WorstPreviews yesterday, and they had an article saying that the meeting between Marvel and Fox execs was over a co-financing deal for a “Daredevil” reboot. This sounds to me like either deliberate misdirection, or nonsense (though on whose part, I can’t say). The problem for me is: How can Twentieth Century […]
There have recently been rumors milling about that Fox is high on Joe Carnahan relaunching “Daredevil,” though there appears to be a fly in the ointment. That fly being that, unless the film is in production by the 10th of this coming October, the rights to the character revert back to Marvel. This is happening […]
As expensive as Batman’s kit is–and it’s very expensive–it doesn’t hold a candle to what it would cost to outfit yourself as Marvel’s Iron Man. For instance, just the Arc reactor alone would cost, according to those enterprising folk at Moneysupermarket.com, a cool $36 million. And while that’s probably reasonable when you consider that it’s […]
When you were young, at some time you probably imagined yourself to be a superhero. Maybe one day you’d be Spider-Man, Captain America or maybe the next Superman. Or Wonder Woman, or Storm. Though perhaps Batman was one of your favorites. When you were young, all you needed was maybe a towel to serve as […]
I recently read that Breck Eisner is going to make a movie based on Stretch Armstrong, a stretchable (i.e., the name), pliable, and extremely bendable toy from Hasbro (the same company that created the Transformers and G.I. Joe). I remember playing with one when I was a kid. I also remember being very interested in […]
“”The Dark Knight Rises” is an engaging film, but in the end it’s too grounded in the real to soar.” The devastating events in Aurora, Colorado have cast a pall over the launch of Warner Bros. “The Dark Knight Rises,” though if box office receipts are any indicator, the film is weathering the adverse publicity […]
Here’s a teaser for Zach Snyder‘s “Man of Steel,” Warner’s reboot of the Superman franchise that is being overseen by Christopher Nolan (“The Dark Knight Rises”). Too much of it looks like “The Perfect Storm” crossed with a jeans commercial, though the flying scene at the end, complete with breaking the sound barrier, is kinda […]
Thomas Jane strikes me as a really neat guy, mainly because he seems to care about things. This interests me because, for afar, it often seems that many actors do what they can to isolate themselves from their fans to such a degree that they appear as cyphers. Not Jane. He’s also not afraid to […]
One of the many things that Gavin Hood’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” got wrong was Deadpool, the anti-hero from the X-Men comics, because they turned him to a silent assassin-type, as opposed to the raging arsehole assassin-type that was in the comics. In that film Deadpool was played by Ryan Reynolds, which is interesting because Reynolds […]
