'Lobo' Targets 'Journey 2' Director Brad Peyton

Posted 4/23/12 11:20 am EST by in DC Comics, News


Cigar-chomping, butt-kicking Lobo has been hurtling towards the big screen for many, many years now. Guy Ritchie was attached to direct the DC Comics adaptation at one point, but he's been off the project for more than two years now. The last update we'd received was in June 2010, when producer Joel Silver expressed his desire for "Lobo" to be a 3-D movie. That would require "Lobo" to be a movie at all, of course, which itself would require a new director.

Well, a solution appears to have been found on that final point: according to Deadline, "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" filmmaker Brad Peyton is the man for the job. Peyton "has been set by Warner Bros to rewrite and direct" the live-action take on "Lobo," a choice that's sure to raise a whole bunch of eyebrows.

New 'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer Attached To 'Avengers'

Posted 4/23/12 10:33 am EST by in DC Comics, Marvel, News


Dark Knight Rises

In the battle between summer blockbusters "Marvel's The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises," the question of who's the winner has a fairly obvious answer: the fans, of course! But even the folks at Disney/Marvel and Warner Bros/DC Comics seem to understand that 2012 represents a massive occasion for the geek community far and wide, and (to an extent) there's room for everybody to come out a winner.

Believe it or not, the two biggest superhero films of the year are indeed joining forces in a limited (but no less awesome) capacity: "Avengers," debuting in theaters everywhere on May 4, will feature a brand new theatrical trailer for "Dark Knight Rises."

Madame Tussauds New York Unveiling Interactive Marvel Super Hero Exhibit

Posted 4/20/12 4:11 pm EST by in Marvel


Hulk Wax

Earth's mightiest heroes are assembling early! And you can throw away those 3-D glasses because that is so 2011. Why see "The Avengers" on the screen when you can view the heroes in real life?!

Madam Tussauds New York announced that they're unveiling a new interactive Marvel Super Heroes experience opening on Thursday, April 26th. The exhibit will feature Tussauds signature wax figures of The Hulk, Spider-Man, and Iron Man with the latest additions of Captain America and Thor. Cap will resemble the likeness of actor Chris Evans, standing tall with his circular shield. In the same fashion, Chris Hemsworth will tower over all in the form of the mighty Thor with Mjolnir, his trusty hammer.

'Avengers'-'Dark Knight' Showdown, Plus David 8 Rules All In Talk Nerdy!

Posted 4/20/12 3:59 pm EST by in Talk Nerdy


by Joel Hanek

This summer could not be any more exciting for comic book fans. The Avengers finally assemble, "Dark Knight" sees his final chapter, and it marks the two year anniversary since we've forgotten "Jonah Hex."

Once again, Marvel and DC will face off —but this time at the box office (Hey, remember the 90's when this happened?) Will "Avengers" be able to break the $158 million opening box office bar set by "Dark Knight" in 2008? Or will Nolan top himself again with "Dark Knight Rises"?

With an ever shrinking production timeframe, director Francis Lawrence has been chosen to helm the "Hunger Games" follow-up "Catching Fire." Although he has a diverse pedigree ("I Am Legend" and "Water for Elephants") some of our experts think they'll miss Gary Ross a little too much.

Guy Pearce In Talks To Join 'Iron Man 3' As Aldrich Killian

Posted 4/20/12 2:41 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Guy Pearce

Sometimes casting the awesome Ben Kingsley as the villain of a movie isn't enough. Sometimes a movie like "Iron Man 3" has to take it one step further in the realm of bad ass and hire someone like Guy Pearce to round out the cast.

According to Variety, the actor soon to be seen in "Prometheus" is in final negotiations to star alongside Robert Downey, Jr., and Sir Kingsley, as the character Aldrich Killian.

It has been confirmed for a while that Shane Black's "Iron Man 3" will be based on Warren Ellis' six-issue "Extremis," a source material for Jon Favreau's first "Iron Man." In the story, a new kind of one-shot nanotechnology, called Extremis, falls into the hands of terrorists, and it's up to Tony Stark to stop them.

'Man Of Steel' Star Ayelet Zurer Talks Costumes

Posted 4/20/12 2:30 pm EST by in DC Comics, News


Man of Steel

Judging by everything we've heard about "Man of Steel," Zack Snyder's latest directorial effort is going to be awesome.

In a recent interview with ShockYa, star Ayelet Zurer said just that. The "Angels & Demons" star plays Lara Lor Man, the birth mother of Superman, in the upcoming flick, and she couldn't stop gushing about what a great job she thinks Snyder did with the film.

"I think it’s going to be an awesome movie, really. I loved Zack. I think he’s a very cool and creative director, and I think the executive producers who developed the project are really on top of it because it’s a major movie and they’ve invested so much in it -- not just money, but time. So I think the edginess of the direction that Zack took is something that’s really going to pay off," Zurer said.

Marvel President Debunks Extra Scene Rumor, Hints Quicksilver And Scarlet Witch

Posted 4/20/12 1:26 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Scarlet Witch Quicksilver

Remember that extra scene Robert Downey Jr. talked about filming after the premiere of "The Avengers"? Well, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says you shouldn't worry too much about that. What you should be keeping an eye out for are Ant-Man, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.

At the European premiere of Marvel's soon-to-be blockbuster in London, Feige spoke with British journalists on a number of pressing issues in the Marvel Universe.

First on the docket was the supposed extra scene that Downey teased during a recent press conference. Feige told Blogomatic300 that's nothing to get your robotic super suit in a bunch over. "I will tell you this: It was not a scene. It was not a scene," Feige said. "There's little things. It's been blown out of proportion. Which is fun, I like that things are blown out of proportion. Sometimes they're true sometimes they're not."

No Capes Allowed: Ed Brubaker's 'Fatale'

Posted 4/20/12 12:00 pm EST by in Image Comics, No Capes Allowed


by Ryan Rigley

What is it about crime that continuously piques our interest as a species? With shows like "NCIS" and "Criminal Minds" proving to be two of the most watched shows on television, it's plain to see that the crime genre won't be going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the crime genre is so popular that it has been featured prominently on multiple platforms throughout the years, including movies, video games and, of course, comic books.

Chief among the crime comic book scene is none other than Ed Brubaker, whose hit-series "Criminal" was recently optioned to become a feature-length movie for Hunting Lane Films. Brubaker, whose other works include the supervillain-inspired "Sleeper" and "Icognito," has demonstrated time and again that he is quite familiar with the inner workings of a good crime story. It's no wonder that his latest series, "Fatale," is equally, if not more, engaging than its predecessors.

'Dark Knight' Versus 'Avengers': Who Will Be The Box Office Champ?

Posted 4/20/12 11:17 am EST by in Talk Nerdy


by Joel Hanek

Will The Avengers be the ones to break The Bat? That’s what analysts are suggesting!

With less than a month before its hotly anticipated theatrical release, pre-ticket sales and buzz for the film are setting the stage for Marvel’s mightiest heroes to top "The Dark Knight's" opening weekend record. Individually, “Captain America,” “Thor” and “Iron Man” have all had solid debuts, with “Iron Man 2” having the strongest opening at $128 million. But that’s still $30 million short of the Caped Crusader. Can the assembled Avengers surpass Nolan’s iconic franchise? Toppling the whopping $158 million that “Dark Knight” raked in over a July weekend in 2008 won’t be an easy feat - but not necessarily an unattainable one.

by Ryan Rigley

Excelsior! Fanboys and fangirls of all ages are teeming with excitement in anticipation of the "Avengers" movie, now only two weeks away. Those who have been paying even the slightest bit of attention will be quick to realize that "The Avengers" is not just a movie, but an event that's been in the making ever since Marvel released its first "Iron Man" back in 2008.

"I don't know if people are aware of what an accomplishment the 'Avengers' movie is," states Stan Lee in a recent interview promoting the "Marvel Heroes Weekend" event taking place on the EPIX channel from April 27 - April 29.

Being the creator of several of the most popular superheroes in the Marvel universe, Stan Lee also played an instrumental part in creating the original "Avengers" comic book.
