Speaking to HeyUGuys during the UK premiere of his film “Sucker Punch,” Snyder clarified where his “Man Of Steel” might fit within a future “Justice League." Read More...

Posted 3/31/11 1:28 pm EST by in Dark Horse, Hot Stuff, interviews, News


DollhouseThis week featured the arrival of Dark Horse Comics' "Dollhouse: Epitaphs" comic book on shelves, returning fans to the world of Joss Whedon's over-too-soon television series in a one-shot comic written by Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. However, as Dark Horse editor Scott Allie told MTV News earlier this year, the return to the dollhouse doesn't end there.

"Epitaphs" will be followed by a five-issue miniseries that kicks off in July, and MTV Splash Page is proud to bring you the exclusive announcement of the series' creative team, and an early peek at some of the issues' covers. So, without further ado, please join us in welcoming Andrew Chambliss back to the "Dollhouse" universe!

A story editor and writer on more than half of the "Dollhouse" episodes (including "Epitaph One" and "Epitaph Two"), Chambliss currently serves as Executive Story Editor on the hit series "The Vampire Diaries" (as well as a story editor for "Spartacus: Blood and Sand"). He'll team up with "Dollhouse: Epitaphs" artist Cliff Richards for the five-issue "Dollhouse" miniseries, and we made sure to pick his brain about returning to the body-swapping sci-fi world in our exclusive interview.

'Superman' Star Margot Kidder Weighs In On Amy Adams As Lois Lane

Posted 3/31/11 10:43 am EST by in DC Comics, interviews


These days Margot Kidder lives in a small Montana town of 6,000 people, spending her days as a political activist and a grandmother, far from the hubbub of her former life in Hollywood and her portrayal of the love interest of the most iconic superhero on earth.

But every so often her old career as Lois Lane pops up in the news, as happened earlier this week when Amy Adams was cast as Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's "Superman" reboot.

When MTV News spoke to Kidder about the casting, she explained what it takes to be a great on-screen Lois, and expressed some serious jealousy that she won't get to be carried up, up and away in Henry Cavill's arms. Read More...

But if you pick up Friday's issue of Entertainment Weekly, you will see that it's no joke. The cover features an image of a buff cartoon Arnold as "The Governator."

"When I ran for governor back in 2003 and I started hearing people talking about 'the Governator,' I thought the word was so cool," Schwarzenegger, 63, told the magazine. "The word Governator combined two worlds: the world of politics and the movie world. And [this cartoon] brings everything together. It combines the governor, the Terminator, the bodybuilding world, the 'True Lies' ..."
