'Chronicle' Star Alex Russell Talks Superpowers and Hero Comparisons

Posted 2/2/12 10:29 am EST by in interviews, News, Video


When a superhero flies, you think Superman. But when the three guys from "Chronicle" start floating around, star Alex Russell doesn't want to be associated with any of the costumed crusaders from the past.

MTV News caught up with the Russell, Michael B. Jordan and Dane DeHaan to talk about the upcoming found footage superhero movie, and they made it clear that their characters are their own men. Russell said that it's what the guys do after getting their powers from a mysterious hole in the ground that makes them different.

Posted 1/31/12 12:01 pm EST by in News, Video


Chronicle Stunt

New York City gets a lot of love in comics as the home base of many superheroes. Now a real life viral marketing campaign gave New Yorkers a taste of what it would really be like to live in the Big Apple from the pages.

A stunt for the upcoming found footage superhero movie, "Chronicle," involved three remote controlled flying devices, designed to look like three people flying. The flights were inspired by the new movie, which follows three high school students who acquire superpowers and eventually gain the ability to fly.

Check out video from the stunt after the jump!

'Walking Dead' Opening Sequence Going Through 'Growing Pains'

Posted 1/26/12 6:17 pm EST by in News, TV, Video


null

Man, things really are going to be different in season 2.5 of "The Walking Dead." I mean, sure, there were bound to be some changes after the departure of Frank Darabont, but who could have guessed such a gritty, suspenseful show would turn into a "Growing Pains" spin-off? Actually, this might be scarier than the regular show.

Alright, so maybe I'm fibbing a little bit. But someone over at MovieWeb really did post this mashup of "Walking Dead" and the opening music from "Growing Pains." Watch it, it's amazing.

'Dredd' Actress Olivia Thirlby Researched Character With Comic Books

Posted 1/26/12 4:10 pm EST by in 2000 AD, News, Video


While there are plenty of people out there who are more than happy to repeatedly watch Stallone's 1995 "Judge Dredd" film adaptation, I don't count myself among them. Sure, it's good for a campy laugh, but the movie veers too far from its 2000 AD namesake for me to really enjoy it. Now that Hollywood is taking a second crack at the franchise with "Dredd," there's some hope we'll see a better representation of the series.

MTV News caught up with Olivia Thirlby, who portrays Cassandra Anderson in the film, during the Sundance Film Festival. Apparently, she spent some time digging into the comic books before tackling the role.

"The script was really, really good," said Thirlby. "But I was playing a character that existed in the comics, and actually had her own spin-off, 'Judge Anderson'...I looked at the comics a lot. She was drawn by a bunch of different people, as well as written by a bunch of different people. So, there's lots of different Andersons."

Jamie Bell Excited For Peter Jackson's 'Tintin' Sequel

Posted 1/11/12 4:47 pm EST by in interviews, News, Video


With all the critical acclaim and international box office success of "The Adventures of Tintin," it seems like a no-brainer that Paramount and Sony would work out sequel details soon. But right now, the question is more "when" than "if," since most of the big names from the first film are currently tied up with different projects.

When MTV News caught up with star Jamie Bell while the actor promoted his latest movie, "Man on a Ledge," we asked him what he's heard about more "Tintin."

Simon Pegg Worries He's 'Too Old' For 'The Boys'

Posted 12/29/11 10:05 am EST by in dynamite entertainment, News, Video


Fans of Garth Ennis' violent comic-book series, "The Boys," are well-aware of one principal character's resemblance to Simon Pegg. In fact, series artist Darick Robertson has acknowledged that Scottish-brogue-spewing Hugh "Wee Hughie" Campbell was actually modeled after the "Shaun of the Dead" star. So, perhaps it's no surprise that Adam McKay, reportedly helming the planned film adaptation, would love to see Pegg in the role – assuming the film makes it to the screen.

Speaking to MTV News, Pegg acknowledged his interest in the part – even stating that he's read the script – but worries that he's possibly "too old" to play Wee Hughie.

'Avengers' German Trailer Features New Footage

Posted 12/19/11 12:13 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video


The Avengers

There's something deeply and inherently unsettling about seeing Captain America speak German.

Aside from that, the brand new German trailer for "The Avengers" offers up a few quick looks at some new footage.

The biggest difference comes in the form of a scene between Bruce Banner and Black Widow. She arrives in Banner's hut somewhere in the third world in order to bring him out of hiding and recruit him for the team. The scene played in its entirety at New York Comic-Con, but hasn't seen the light of day outside of that panel.

Check out the German trailer after the jump!

New 'Ghost Rider' Trailer: Beware The Antichrist

Posted 12/15/11 2:38 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video


We've seen what the new Rider looks like. We've seen him piss fire, and we have a general idea of what Neveldine and Taylor are going for here.

What we didn't have a great idea about until now is the story for "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," the follow-up to Nic Cage's first foray into the superhero world. In the sequel, Johnny Blaze must come out of self-imposed hiding in order to save a child and his mother who have found themselves pursued by the devil. Ciarán Hinds plays the devil, and he's looking for a new form to take so he can take over the world.

Who else are you going to call in that kind of situation?

Batman Creeps Out Commissioner Gordon In New 'SNL' Digital Short

Posted 12/5/11 3:11 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Video


Batman's always been known to appear and disappear at a moment's notice, a habit that tends to annoy Commissioner Gordon, but not every occasion is an appropriate one for the Caped Crusader.

In a new Digital Short from Saturday Night Live, host Steve Buscemi donned the commissioner's iconic mustache to show off the creepier side of the Dark Knight. Andy Samberg riffed on Christian Bale's raspy-voiced Batman for the parody.
