I had no idea that the rights were being contested, but according to the New York Times, Marvel Entertainment owns the rights to the character, which were being challenged by Gary Friedrich, a freelance writer. It’s probably not a coincidence that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is coming out February 17 of next year.
Tucker & Dale vs Evil, currently streaming on Netflix, is a horror/comedy with more levels than similar films. It can be taken as a cautionary tale about the perils of prejudging people, or if that goes over your head, then perhaps a story about the perils of making hair-trigger assumptions. Or you can take it […]
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.
I visit my parent’s regularly during the holidays, and this one is no exception. I was channel surfing, when I came upon Tron: Legacy on Starz: Edge. Seeing that I have seen the film at least seven or eight times in various forms of media, I figured that I would just watch the special effects […]
Now this is how to cut a trailer! I know virtually nothing about Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” other than it makes use of the “Space Jockey” from the Alien films, and contains no xenomorphs. That being said, the trailer makes it seem like there’s a “Ghosts Of Mars” vibe going on. By which I mean that […]
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 am not quite sure what an “announcement trailer” is, since I have always thought that every trailer exists to announce something (namely, that a new movie is coming). That being said, I think that Peter Jackson is a talented director, though I was most interested when I learned that Guillermo Del Toro was at […]
While I suspect that the primary reason this was released today was because so many people had crappy pirated versions, I have to admit that they’re doing the right thing, which is feeding the almost rabid interest this movie seems to be developing. I also noticed that, while Bane doesn’t talk much, when he does […]
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
I haven’t been all that expectant for Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” but when I heard that H.R. Geiger was doing the production design, and that aliens were somehow going to be involved with the proceedings, I am coming around. Then I saw this teaser poster, which I think is really cool in the way that it evokes greater […]
