New 'Captain America' Movie Poster Debuts Online

Posted 6/23/11 2:01 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Captain AmericaA new poster for "Captain America: The First Avenger" has debuted online, offering yet another look at Chris Evans as Marvel's solder-turned-superhero Steve Rogers.

The new poster premiered at Yahoo Movies, and features an unmasked Captain America looking as stern as ever, with his iconic red, white, and blue shield in the foreground. The new poster doesn't sport a tagline, and for some reason, it doesn't feature Captain America punching Adolf Hitler, either.

Nevertheless, it's a nice shot of Evans as Marvel's famous super-soldier, and likely heralds the arrival of the second trailer for the film, which is expected to debut in the next day or two. Read More...

Don Cheadle Talks 'Iron Man 3' And War Machine Spinoff, Won't Be In 'The Avengers'

Posted 6/23/11 1:01 pm EST by in Marvel, News


War MachineIt sounds as if Don Cheadle will be back for “Iron Man 3" but not for “The Avengers” as James "Rhodey" Rhodes/War Machine.

When asked by Collider about appearing in any more Marvel movies, Cheadle replied, “Well the Iron Man 3 is coming back. We'll probably do that again in February and there's talk of a War Machine spinoff, which I guess, unless I get recast, I would probably do.”

Cheadle likely brought up the possibility of being recast because he’d been cast to replace Terrence Howard, who played James Rhodes in the first “Iron Man” movie. Read More...

Neil Gaiman On The 'Weird' World Of 'American Gods'

Posted 6/23/11 11:13 am EST by in News


FROM MTV NEWS: Neil Gaiman's award-winning novel "American Gods" first hit shelves back in 2001, sweeping up readers in a cross-country adventure that explored a world in which the gods of old struggled to remain relevant in modern American culture. Ten years later, "American Gods" is returning to shelves in a new form, celebrating its anniversary with an expanded, "author's preferred text" edition and the announcement of an upcoming television series based on the book.

"The truth is, as an author, all you are is grateful if you turn around 10 years after you wrote something and it's still in print," Gaiman told MTV News of all the fanfare surrounding the novel's 10th anniversary. "It makes me ridiculously happy as an author, but mostly it makes me ridiculously happy that my book is being read."

For Gaiman, "American Gods" offered a way to put words to his own experience in moving to America from England and the difference between how people view America from the outside and the eccentricities you discover from the inside of American culture.

That search ended this week with the studio's announcement that "Watchmen" screenwriter Alex Tse will script the remake, and Cooper will indeed play the role of gothic hero Eric Draven, who's resurrected from the dead to avenge his wife's brutal murder. Read More...

'Batman: Arkham City' Robin Revealed!

Posted 6/22/11 5:01 pm EST by in DC Comics, News


Robin - Batman Arkham CityBy Matt Clark

FROM MTV MULTIPLAYER: We already know that Catwoman is a playable character in "Batman: Arkham City." Now, it looks like The Boy Wonder himself is set to make an appearance in Rocksteady's follow-up to their fantastic 2009 game, "Batman: Arkham Asylum." While Catwoman is built right into the game, there's a bit of a catch if you want to play as Robin right away: you're going to have to pre-order the game from Best Buy. Holy retailer incentives, Batman.

Retailer incentives – store-exclusive game features and characters – have become a bit of the norm these days. Of course, a lot of those exclusives are eventually put up for sale on your digital marketplace of choice, and Shack News has confirmed through Warner Bros. that Robin will eventually be available to everyone.

Another follow-up film has been attracting stares on Twitter as well. The "Footloose" remake has an official trailer, and even Kevin Bacon may not be enough to get Marjorie Liu to see it.

'Locke & Key' Pilot To Screen At San Diego Comic-Con

Posted 6/22/11 11:14 am EST by in IDW Publishing, News


Locke & KeyIt could be the understatement of the year to say we were disappointed by the news that "Locke & Key" television series pilot might not make it to the small screen. The IDW Publishing comic is one of our favorites around Splash Page HQ, and everything seemed primed for it to make a successful jump from page to screen.

Alas, it wasn't meant to be (on the FOX network, at least), but now it looks like fans will indeed be able to check out the pilot episode — if they can make it to San Diego for this year's Comic-Con International.

Calling it "the most talked-about pilot not on the Fall schedule," IDW will screen "Locke & Key" on Friday, July 22. The screening will be followed by a Q&A panel with comic creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, as well as pilot writer Josh Friedman, and producers Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci. Read More...
