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 […]
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 […]
This post is entirely speculation, though it is based upon logic as well as current news. Notice that in the title of this article I sad “could” as opposed to “would” because the last I heard was that Del Toro was busy working on Legendary Pictures’ upcoming fright-feature “Crimson Peak,” as well as executive producing […]
I happened to be recently watching Don Coscarelli‘s “Bubba Ho-tep,” when I occurred to me that since Marvel Studios is working on a Doctor Strange feature (supposedly with John Hamm as the lead) he would be a perfect choice to direct it. Off the top of my head, there are five reasons that this is […]
Marvel Studios is on a roll. Earlier this year “Iron Man 3” earned $1.2 billion worldwide, while the year before that “The Avengers” earned over $1.5 billion. Even with characters that aren’t necessarily as popular, like Thor and Captain America, Marvel is making a mint. In fact, they are so confident about their prospects that […]
I have to admit that while I enjoyed the first Captain America feature, I didn’t love it. Sure, it had all the elements for an awesome adventure: direction by Joe Johnston, director of the underrated “The Rocketeer”; a Marvel character steeped in Americana and history, and the Tesseract (known as The Cosmic Cube in Marvelese). […]
Today has not been my day. The most irritating aspect of which being my attempt to watch Michael Bassett’s “Silent Hill: Revelation” via iTunes. I have no idea why things went all sorts of wonky, but I spent four or five hours from the discomfort of my bed trying to watch the movie. Though what […]
Superherohype is saying that Kevin Feige, Robert Downey, Jr., and Shane Black, the director of the film, are saying that the upcoming “Iron Man 3” will not be a “serious” movie. Feige, Downey and Black are closer to the production than I am (by an almost indescribable degree), so I think that we can take […]
Doctor Strange has always one of my favorite Marvel characters, so I was jazzed to hear that Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, intends to make a feature film of him. That being said, I am trying to keep my expectations in check–despite the way that “The Avengers” either met or exceeded them; though […]
Marvel Studios’ “Thor” has pulled in $122 million dollars in the United States after two weeks, and $230 million overseas. Not too shabby for a $150 million dollar film.
