Comic-Con 'Thor' And 'Captain America' Posters Debut!

Posted 7/21/10 6:59 pm EST by in Marvel, News


We've touched down in San Diego for Comic-Con 2010, and look what's there to greet us: new posters for two of Marvel Studios' most-anticipated movies!

Premiering at San Diego's Comic-Con International this year, the new posters for "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" offer some pretty dynamic images of the two characters destined to hit the big screen in their own solo films in 2011 — then again in 2012's team-up extravaganza "The Avengers." They're more concept art than actual screenshots from the film, but they're still all kinds of awesome.

My favorite part? The full shot of Loki's armor, horns and all! Read More...

Posted 7/20/10 4:01 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Image Comics, News, Video

This time around, it's makeup effects supervisor and zombie-movie veteran Greg Nicotero explaining how the comic book series influenced the look of the live-action living dead.

"We took a lot of our visual cues from the graphic novel," Nicotero told MTV News. "The sketches have them real gaunt, a lot of exposed teeth, and a couple specific characters [were inspired by] the graphic novel [and] the sketches they did." Read More...

'Batman 3' To Be Filmed In IMAX? 'Dark Knight' Cinematographer Wants Large-Scale Format

Posted 7/20/10 12:29 pm EST by in DC Comics, News


The Dark KnightFROM MTV MOVIES: Early on in the "Inception" preproduction process, director Christopher Nolan and director of photography Wally Pfister had a conversation that dragged on for weeks: After shooting a portion of "The Dark Knight" in IMAX, would they also shoot their Leonardo DiCaprio-starring thriller in the large-scale film format?

"Finally I had to tell Chris that the way he was describing the film, so much of it wanted to be with a handheld camera and kind of running around," Pfister told MTV News. "That's just not physically possible with the IMAX camera. We ruled out shooting in IMAX."

Their thinking on how to shoot "Batman 3," however, might turn out to be vastly different. "I can't say until I read the script, but it would certainly be my preferred, amazing goal to shoot the whole movie in IMAX," Pfister said.

Rumor Report: Will Adrien Brody Play Ant-Man For Marvel Studios?

Posted 7/20/10 11:46 am EST by in Marvel, News


Ant-ManWith the full "The Avengers" roster rumored to be revealed at Comic-Con International in just a few short days, other rumors are heating up regarding which actors will occupy the currently unfilled roles. Edward Norton's departure has left Bruce Banner's purple pants up for grabs, for instance, with actor Mark Ruffalo the rumored frontrunner for the job.

But what about Hank Pym, the troubled scientist better known as Ant-Man? As the central figure of Edgar Wright's developing "Ant-Man" solo film for Marvel Studios, Pym is virtually locked for a seat on the Avengers' starting rotation when the film arrives in theaters in 2012. But who's going to play him?

Well, that depends on who you ask, as conflicting reports have emerged regarding one possible candidate: "Predators" star Adrien Brody. Read More...
