EXCLUSIVE: Nathan Fillion Hints At More Than Just A Sequel For 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog'

Posted 3/2/10 2:28 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Video

Around Splash Page HQ, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is considered one of the on-screen highlights of 2008 — right up there with "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man." So it's pretty much a given that any time we get a chance to speak with someone involved with the hit online musical, we're going to ask about the "Dr. Horrible" sequel.

Cue our encounter with "Castle" star Nathan Fillion during last night's Cosmopolitan Magazine "2010 Fun Fearless Males" red carpet, and his hint that there could be more in store for the "Dr. Horrible" universe than just a sequel.

"I've heard some of the lyrics for one of the new songs," Fillion told MTV News. "I've heard a title for the sequel, and I've heard some great ideas. I've also heard of some kind of other accoutrements that are coming out aside from a sequel that we're planning on." Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: Edgar Wright Explains Where 'Scott Pilgrim' Movie And Comics Diverge

Posted 3/1/10 1:44 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Oni Press

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World"Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" hits theaters this August, and though we have yet to see the first trailer for the film, early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive — giving fans of Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book series a lot to look forward to when Edgar Wright's live-action adaptation finally arrives.

We already know the film will feature some significant, creator-endorsed differences from its source material, so when MTV News caught up with Wright (one of our "10 Filmmakers to Watch In 2010"), we picked his brain about where the books and film will part ways, story-wise.

"I think Bryan O’Malley is a very smart guy, and he can understand what an adaptation is," said Wright. "He read every draft of [the script]. With the last draft, me and Michael Bacall sent him every 20 pages ... and so he pretty much understood that doing a straight adaptation of the books was kind of impossible." Read More...

However, like any big announcement, the news sparked a whole new set of questions from fans and media regarding the the decision-making process and the effect the new team will have on both DC Entertainment and the new execs' pre-existing, hands-on involvement with Superman, Batman and the rest of the DC Universe.

Of course, while he was here, we had to follow-up with him about his "Avatar" co-producer Jon Landau's assertion that the pair had met with newly appointed "Spider-Man" director Marc Webb about Sony's plans to film the reboot using 3-D technology.

"I didn't talk to him directly," clarified Cameron. "I'm more than happy to. I'm more than happy to talk to any filmmaker who wants to author their picture in 3-D." Read More...

Now, in a new development that should thrill fans of our friendly neighborhood webslinger, MTV News has learned the name of the latest filmmaker to meet with Cameron: "Spider-Man" director Marc Webb.

Posted 2/10/10 1:01 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News

Well, the Mezco crew has come through again — this time, with another ridiculously cool, over-sized figure from the upcoming film "Kick-Ass."
