New 'The Walking Dead' Featurette Takes You To Zombie School

Posted 5/7/13 8:00 am EST by in Image Comics, TV, Video

by Brett White

Season 3 of "The Walking Dead" just came to its bloody conclusion a month ago, and production on season 4 is now underway. The show will have a few new living cast members, as well as a couple dozen more undead ones to give the survivors trouble.

A new featurette from AMC takes you behind the scenes as special effects guru and Executive Producer Greg Nicotero puts 140 hopeful actors through zombie school. As it turns out, a "Walking Dead" zombie needs to do a lot more than shamble along and moan. Check out the video below to find out what makes a perfect TV zombie.

'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Screenwriters Promise The Villains Are 'Essential'

Posted 5/6/13 3:30 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

Electro

by Brett White

Ever since Batman teamed up with Robin and Batgirl to take on Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane in 1997's "Batman & Robin" (a film that still exists despite fandom's constant attempts to erase it from existence through sheer force of will), fans have equated crowded superhero sequels with bad superhero sequels. With "The Amazing Spider-Man 2's" cast ballooning to include not only Jamie Foxx as Electro, but Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, fans have gotten a bit worried about the follow-up to last summer's delightful hit, "The Amazing Spider-Man."

But fans should have no fear, because "Amazing Spider-Man 2" screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci know what they're doing. MTV News caught up with the writing team at the premiere of their latest film, "Star Trek Into Darkness."

"I think you have to go into it and say, 'is this character essential to the story or are you just throwing him in for no reason whatsoever'," said Kurtzman. This should come as a relief to fans, who saw the final installment of the original Spider-Man trilogy crowded with the likes of Sandman, Venom and the second Green Goblin.

Check out the entire interview below for a tease at who else Spider-Man may eventually thrown down against (note: it's totally a joke, a really well-timed joke).

'Man Of Steel' Second TV Spot Arrives

Posted 5/3/13 2:15 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Video

Man of Steel

The marketing for "Man of Steel" continues to get better and better as we get closer to the movie's release date. Following yesterday's poster, a new TV spot has been released that teases Superman's journey in the upcoming movie.

Like the poster, the spot focuses on the titular Man of Steel's flight and how awesome it is. One shot in particular, where Superman zooms by and is followed by some government planes, is especially effective and foreboding. Trailers for "Man of Steel" have shown time and again that Superman doesn't have an easy time ingratiating himself with the US government after he comes out as a superhero, and that is definitely teased in this shot.

'Guardians Of The Galaxy': Zoe Saldana Confirms She's Going Green

Posted 5/3/13 12:03 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video

Gamora

by Brett White

Everyone can relax. Zoe Saldana has confirmed her involvement in "Guardians of the Galaxy." The actress was previously reported as being in "final talks" to star as Gamora in next year's Marvel movie, and even though that's code for "pretty much a done deal," we really didn't want to get our hopes up and then dashed. Zoe Saldana is the perfect choice for Gamora, and her involvement only makes us that much more excited for the film.

The confirmation comes from a pair of just-released videos, one coming from the world premiere of "Star Trek Into Darkness." In it, Saldana confirms her involvement, saying that director James Gunn approached her about being in the film.

"I didn't know about the comic, as I normally am clueless that way. My sister sort of informed me of it, I read the script and i was blown away with it."

'Iron Man 3' Interview: Don Cheadle Buddies Up With Robert Downey Jr.

Posted 5/2/13 4:00 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

Don Cheadle returns for another go as James Rhodes in "Iron Man 3", bringing Tony Stark's best friend to life both inside and outside of the suit. The actor spoke to MTV News about his on-screen chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. and how "Iron Man 3" is filled with more banter-iffic moments like those seen in the climax of "Iron Man 2."

"This was just more of it," says Cheadle, "more opportunity for us to bust each others' chops. Being the conscience for Tony is kind of what Rhodey provides, and Tony for Rhodey kind of provides someone who is trying to get him out of his shell, so to speak."

'Iron Man 3': Ben Kingsley Stayed In 'The Box' With Robert Downey Jr.

Posted 5/2/13 8:00 am EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

Mandarin

by Brett White

Robert Downey Jr. has become known for delivering performances that are equal parts charismatic and naturalistic; the man doesn't just portray characters, he embodies them. And after three outings as Tony Stark, the actor is no doubt incredibly comfortable in the role in "Iron Man 3." Some actors might find going toe-to-toe with the Downey in his element intimidating, but not Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley. No, the two of them hit it off magnificently. Kingsley talked to MTV News about working with Downey.

"Robert never strays off dialogue," says Kingsley. "His gift is to make the written word look utterly spontaneous. Very little, if anything, is thrown at the other actor that isn't in the script... I think [ Downey] calls [the script] the box, but you play inside it. You don't play outside of it."

Check out the full interview after the jump, and prepare yourself mentally for when "Iron Man 3" bursts onto the big screen this Friday, May 3rd.

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals How 'Iron Man 3' Is A Different Film

Posted 5/1/13 2:40 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

There was one big behind-the-scenes change made for "Iron Man 3," and Gwyneth Paltrow reveals that it greatly benefited the film. "We had a complete screenplay when we started, and it was great," says Paltrow. "The other two movies, we were writing as we were going; we were improvising the whole thing. It was a much more difficult process."

Paltrow's not knocking previous director Jon Favreau, as she clarifies in the full clip below. New director Shane Black and writer Drew Pearce definitely took advantage of lead time that wasn't exactly available to Favreau, and cranked out a dense, thematically rich script that gets high praise from Paltrow. You can check out the entire clip below.

'Wolverine': CinemaCon Trailer Shows Off Silver Samurai

Posted 5/1/13 2:05 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video

Silver Samurai

by Brett White

Move over General Zod, there's a new bad guy in town. "The Wolverine's" Silver Samurai. And no, he doesn't do some iconic caterwauling in this new trailer from CinemaCon, but he does steal every scene he's in (all combined two seconds of them!). The Samurai looks appropriately menacing and visual interesting in the still above, and I personally can't wait to see him mix it up with Hugh Jackman on the big screen.

This new trailer is almost completely comprised of never-before-seen footage from this summer's sole mutant movie. It has as much, if not more, ninja action as the Japanese trailer and sheds a lot more light on scenes set-up in the initial two trailers. There's more Yukio, more Yakuza and a lot less talking. Check out the trailer below.

'Arrow': New Clip Shows The Queens Before Shipwreck

Posted 5/1/13 1:25 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, TV, Video

by Ryan Rigley

As anyone who watches the CW's "Arrow" could tell you, the series is chock full of flashbacks to Oliver Queen's time stranded on the island of Lian Yu. Therefore, it's no surprise to see that this sneak peak from tonight's episode of "Arrow" is indeed another flashback.

However, unlike all of the other island flashbacks that we've seen this season, this particular flashback takes place before Robert Queen and his son have set sail on the Queen's Gambit. Hell, it even takes place before the boat crashes! Check out the clip below.
