Dark Archer

by Ryan Rigley

As all "Arrow" fans know by now, Malcolm Merlyn is a very evil man. Last week, Oliver Queen finally came to the realization that his best friend's father is not only the man responsible for kidnapping Walter Steele, but he's also the man directly responsible for his father's death. However, there's still one thing about Merlyn that Oliver has yet to figure out: he's also the deadly Dark Archer, a.k.a. the only villain in Starling City that has been able to defeat the hooded vigilante.

Tonight's episode of "Arrow," entitled "Darkness on the Edge of Town," is the second to last episode of this season, which means it's guaranteed to be action-packed and full of answers to this season's mysteries. That being said, we have a clip from tonight's "Arrow," featuring the Dark Archer himself, that actually raises more questions than answers. You can check it out below.

Doc Savage

Shane Black's hard work with ""Iron Man 3" has paid off. The movie hasn't even been out in theaters for a week in the United States and it's already a huge success, and other studios have taken notice of that accomplishment.

Sony Pictures issued a press release announcing that it has closed a deal with Black to co-write and direct a remake of "Doc Savage." This is a passion project that Black has been kicking around since 2009 but has been repeatedly put on the backburner. Black is reportedly considering making "Doc Savage" his next film.

Simul-Cam

by Brett White

Director Bryan Singer has tweeted a picture from the set of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which is currently shooting in Canada. The set-up is, as singer says, more reminiscent of mission control than a film set thanks to the film being shot in both 3D and Simul-Cam.

Simul-Cam technology has been employed in films like "Avatar," "Real Steel" and "Jack the Giant Slayer" to effortlessly blend CGI and live action footage. You can check out the full picture and tweet below.

Iron Man 3

by Brett White

If you're going to enter contract negotiations with big ol' companies like Disney and Marvel, it would help to have about $600 million worth of worldwide box office in your corner. Thankfully for Robert Downey Jr., he has a lot more than that. And thanks to "Iron Man 3's" ridiculous $175.3 million opening weekend, he's proven that he's worth whatever amount of money he asks for to suit up again as Iron Man.

On May 6th, a select group gathered at Spago to celebrate the runaway success of "Iron Man 3"; included among them were Robert Downey Jr., his wife and producing partner Susan Downey, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, "Iron Man 3" director Shane Black and Disney Studio head Alan Horn. The Hollywood Reporter states that the meal also kicked off the first real shaky period for Marvel Studios since its inception: re-signing its biggest star to appear in more films.

Green Lantern Green Arrow

by Brett White

In a recent interview with TV Guide, "Arrow" producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that Green Lantern could possibly appear on the CW series. While there's no official team-up in the works right now, a bit of the Green Lantern mythos will pop up on "Arrow" in the final episodes of the show's first season. Apparently Ferris Air, the company that Hal Jordan was a test pilot for, will be popping up on the show.

"If all goes according to plan, when you see the Ferris Air logo later in the season, it will be the same logo that we established in the ['Green Lantern'] movie. I like tips of the hat."

Amazing Spider-Man 2

by Brett White

Another week, another TwitPic Round Up for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"! If you aren't following director Marc Webb on Twitter yet, can you really call yourself an "Amazing Spider-Man" fan? The guy posts a new set photo for pretty much every day of the film's shoot. Sure, not all of them offer insight into the film's plot, like the time he debuted Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon, but they're almost always entertaining.

Today's batch starts off with maybe the best TwitPic yet, one that shows our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man chatting with a fan better known as the Amazing Spider-Fan.

Iron Man 3

by Brett White

Art of the Title has posted an interview with "Iron Man 3" Creative Director Danny Yount about the film's memorable end credits sequence, which mixes footage from all three Iron Man films together in one glorious, '70s throwback montage. The interview takes you through the end credits' entire creative process, from the more tech-driven first approach, to an animated Iron Man striptease, up through to the ultra-'70s demo that led to the final product.

"[Director] Shane [Black] is open to retro things — as evidenced in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' — so he wanted something kind of like an old film title... like Pablo Ferro's 'Bullitt' titles," explains Yount. "And I'm a product of the '70s and '80s so I love old TV crime drama titles like 'The Dukes of Hazard' and 'Get Smart.' I'm also a huge fan of the classic comedies like 'Airplane!' and 'The Naked Gun,' which to me are all about taking a very serious subject and finding the right way to make it extremely unserious."

RIPD

A new poster for "R.I.P.D." has made its way online, and it offers a bit more exposition than the last one did. Touting the tagline, "Defending our world one soul at a time," the poster teases the supernatural forces at work in the upcoming movie.

Nothing screams, "Watch this movie!" like a R.I.P.D. car getting sucked up through a gaping hole in the sky, and this poster seems to try to underline the crazy ridiculous action sequences that will take place in the comic book adaptation. The trailer already showed off "R.I.P.D.'s" "Men in Black"-meets-"Bleach" vibe, and that's pretty much what this new image reveals as well.
