Recently James Gunn buried the hatchet with Henry Cavill about his iteration of Superman not making it into the revamped DCU, instead deciding to go with a younger version of the character. He did the same with Dwayne Johnson, who played Black Adam, though when he did so he was very likely lying and possibly […]
Remember when Dwayne Johnson tried to essentially muscle his into running the DCEU by doing things like going above Walter Hamada to get Henry Cavill to cameo in Black Adam – now keep in mind that I’m not a fan of Walter Hamada, though there is a such thing as a chain of command – […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn is writing a Superman treatment sans Henry Cavill, which sounds to me like a bit of an unforced error. Supposedly the story will revolve around a younger Superman who’s already a reporter for The Daily Planet. I don’t think it’s a great move because Cavill has been treated […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn and Peter Safran have completed their work on a new bible for the DC Studios – did they really need to go to Aspen to hammer things out though? It always bugs me when companies lay off people, which Warner Bros and it’s various divisions have been doing […]
Remember when I wrote that Walter Hamada wasn’t long for the head of DC Films last September? I was right because while I didn’t name the circumstances under which he would leave the post, leave it he did and from the outside looking in it’s fairly obviously why: He had no idea what he was […]
I have never read The Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski though they’ve built quite the following. They’ve also been spun off into video games, which appear to be equally as popular as the novels, if not more so. Now the character is being ported to television, with a series starring Henry Cavill, fresh off of […]
Apparently, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Henry Cavill is out as Superman. There are quite a few reasons stated (scheduling issues, problems negotiating a cameo in Warner Bros upcoming Shazam!, delays in ramping up a sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel, etc) and while–if this is true because it bears repeating that this is not […]
The only problem with this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live is that it runs a bit long, hitting viewers over the head with something that would have worked much better with a lighter touch. That being said, Kimmel brings up a good point, namely who doesn’t wonder when watching movies like Man Of Steel, when […]
Recently Zach Snyder released a teaser trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it’s a whole lot of…(wait for it) “Meh.” It consists of a few pans from the Batman to Superman costumes, with bombastic music reminiscent of that from the Transformers movies. It’s the epitome of a teaser in that it reveals–literally–absolutely […]
Warner Bros. has revealed that they are going ahead with a Superman & Batman feature, though my question is: How could anybody be surprised by this? At this point DC has only two “viable” characters – as in, almost guaranteed to make a profit – and that’s Superman (as “Man of Steel” has shown”) and […]
