Kick-Ass

"Kick-Ass 2" is still scheduled to kick some ass this summer — just a bit later than we were hoping for.

Universal has moved the release date for the comic book movie sequel from its original June 28 spot to August 16. That means "Kick-Ass 2" will close out Universal's summer slate, which sounds like a hell of a way to end the summer months to us!

2 Guns

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington are bad-asses — and they're about to be bad-asses together, whether they like it or not.

The award-winning actors are in the lead roles of "2 Guns," the upcoming adaptation of the Boom Studios comic book about an undercover DEA agent and a Navy intelligence officer forced to work together towards a common goal. The first official photo from the film has been released, and you can see it in full below.

2 Guns

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington have finished filming "2 Guns," and director Baltasar Kormakur is currently busy cutting up his director's cut of the movie. It's due in to Universal by Christmas, and he promises that the final product will be as great as we all hope it will be.

"It relies less on action, let's put it that way, which I appreciate. I don’t mind doing action, I can have fun doing action, but I'm more interested in character-based work," Kormakur told Collider of the tone in the film. "There is some good action in it, but it doesn't go to the extreme of action. It's actually, I think, hopefully there is more fun in the action than necessarily big explosions."

Fred Ward

Those tremors you're feeling? That's the sensation one feels when they learn that Fred Ward has been cast in a new action movie.

The "Tremors" actor (now do you see what I did up there? Boy, is it going to be a long week!) has joined the cast of "2 Guns," the Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington-starring action flick based on the Boom! Studios comic book, reports Variety.

His days as Cyclops are probably at an end — which is complete and utter bull-crap, by the way — but James Marsden's time in the comic book movie space isn't over.

Marsden is set to join the increasingly star-studded cast of "2 Guns," the Boom Studios comic book adaptation, Variety reports. The erstwhile Scott Summers will saddle up alongside an incredible ensemble that includes Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Bill Paxton, Paula Patton and Edward James Olmos.

Casting Edward James Olmos is always a good idea. (So say we all.) So casting him in "2 Guns," the upcoming adaptation of the Boom Studios comic book—as the villain, no less—is probably something we're all going to agree upon as a very, very good idea.

Variety has the news that the erstwhile Admiral William Adama is joining the cast of "2 Guns" as one of the film's central villains. He'll play Papi Greco, "a dangerous Mexican druglord who runs up against" the movie's heroes played by Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington.

There's some "Big Love" headed in Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington's general direction: according to Variety, the two stars of "2 Guns" are getting some company in the form of Bill Paxton, who is joining the Universal action flick from director Baltasar Kormakur.

Based on the comic book published by Boom Studios, "2 Guns" focuses on a DEA agent and an undercover naval intelligence officer who are unwittingly pitted against each other by outside forces. When they realized that they're both being set up, they team together to clear their names.

"Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" was awesome for several reasons. The Burj Khalifa sequence, the opening prison breakout, the all-too-brief Josh Holloway scenes. But for me, the biggest highlight is a no-brainer: Paula Patton. The actress, previously best known for "Precious" and "Deja Vu," proved her weight as an action star in the making in the fourth "Mission: Impossible," and I've been waiting not-so-patiently to hear about her next big blockbuster.

Well, wait no more: Patton's found her project, and she's once again experiencing some deja vu. This time, she'll reunite with her former co-star Denzel Washington (as well as Boston bad boy Mark Wahlberg) for "2 Guns," the Boom Studios comic book adaptation about two operatives unwittingly pitted against each other and ultimately forced to work alongside one another to clear their respective names.

Denzel Washington

This should garner some renewed interest in the upcoming adaptation of "2 Guns." The comic book flick gained a director, "Contraband's" Baltasar Kormakur, back in October, and now it looks like the film has found its second gun.

Deadline is reporting that Denzel Washington is in early talks to join Mark Wahlberg in "2 Guns." Apparently the movie is shaping up to be a hot sale title at the European Film Market in Berlin, so that could be why it's getting such forward momentum right now. Universal is currently set to distribute and market the flick in the United States.

The Incredibles

Forget the Man of Tomorrow — whatever happened to Mister Incredible?

"The Incredibles," the 2004 animated superhero flick written and directed by Brad Bird, remains one of the most popular Pixar movies of all time, but we've yet to see further adventures featuring Bob Parr and his fantastic family on the big screen. Will we ever get another "Incredibles" movie? The answer, according to Bird, is… maybe.
