Thu, December 1, 2011 Just over two weeks out and Yahoo! Movies have the final poster for the highly anticipated sequel. Personally I like it, Holmes and Watson in foggy London is very iconic.
Thu, December 1, 2011 The story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
Wed, November 30, 2011 If you've been dying to see how Daniel Day-Lewis would look as President Abraham Lincoln in the Steven Spielberg-directed biopic Lincoln due out next Christmas, then you have Michael Phillips (via The Film Stage) to thank for this pimp snap-shot taken of the two-time Oscar winner this afternoon.
I realize this is far from an official production still or even taken from the set (It's simply Lewis eating his lunch) but it's very cool to know how he'll appear in character.

As expected, Benicio del Toro (whose deal isn't finalized) won't be the only new addition to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sequel.
Variety reports Alice Eve, the British actress from She's Out of My League, has secured a role in the still-untitled Trek follow-up.
Details on her role remain elusive (because what's the point of a mystery box if they can't keep stuff crammed in it?) besides her being a brand-new character. So those of you wanting to see a rebooted Carol Marcus (Why would you in the first place?) will be disappointed.

What happened to that guy that exploded on to the scene with a heist tale featuring a story that bends your mind into a pretzel courtesy of a well played twist ending? For those who haven't figured it out just yet, I'm talking about Bryan Singer and his signature film, The Usual Suspects. He was M. Night before there was an M. Night. (The good M. Night before The Village)
Well believe it or not the same guy who directed X-Men, X2, and Superman Returns is now going to direct and executive produce The Munsters for NBC. Earlier in the month we heard that Bryan Singer was attached to The Six Billion Dollar Man which caused our very own Jamie Williams to exclaim, "Seriously, Bryan, stop! The general public isn't warming up to your child nostalgia repackaged for today."
He obviously didn't listen Jamie. According to Toldja! Bryan's new venture into TV is described as "an imaginative reinvention of The Munsters as a visually spectacular one-hour drama." If anybody can capture that look it's Bryan, if not, Tarsem might be available. The question is why would Bryan want to do this? Sure it could turn out to be a success, Once Upon A Time is a pretty decent show, but what the fuck Bryan?
Maybe the offers just aren't coming in anymore, the word we're getting on Jack The Giant Killer is that it is a complete shit show. Bryan might have lost some zip on his fastball and maybe I'm the one who needs to realize this while studios already have. Seems that The Brothers Warner want nothing more to do with him and maybe his only other option could be running back to Fox and the X-Men universe. I feel like a project like this is another curious choice in what is becoming somewhat of a checkered career.
Wed, November 30, 2011 Corporate synergy at work, baby!
Good Morning America airs on ABC, which is owned by Disney, who produced John Carter, which happened to premiere its new trailer during the broadcast this morning.
Bleeding Cool has provided the footage. To enjoy ("Enjoy" a term I'll use loosely since I thought this second Carter trailer leaned heavily on the "This looks stupid" side, and you know, it's bad-ass because they play rock music in the background!) it however you'll have to sit through star Taylor Kitsch, a good actor not so sure about his leading man potential though, and host Robin Roberts doing their best to sell this to middle America.
If you're like me and wasn't second on trailer #2, helmer Andrew Stanton tweeted the complete trailer will premiere tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a show that also happens to air on ABC. They're not being subtle with the corporate back scratching, are they?

Before you start sharpening your knives, remember how everyone freaked out when we first saw Mystique in the X-Men teaser trailer.
"What?! But...but...she's not wearing a white dress like the comics! That's stupid and this movie is fucked!"
Ultimately, we were won over to the concept. So much so when we got our first glimpse of Jennifer Lawrence taking over the role in X-Men: First Class we were so used to her in that nude, reptilian look it threw us off to see her wearing clothes for the first time onscreen. And once again, it won us over.
Those examples set aside; something feels off about this "leaked" concept art of the Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man, courtesy of Spider-Media. In their favor, wearing the white lab-coat would look stupid so that was rightly jettisoned.
But I'm not going to write off the look of the creature, and the reboot as a whole, based solely on art-work that may or may not be real.
Wed, November 30, 2011 Normally, I try to avoid spoilers for movies and TV shows that I want to see, but a few weeks ago I accidentally came across a description of what turned out to be the final moments of this past Sunday's mid-season finale of The Walking Dead on AMC (and consider what follows to be a spoiler warning for yourself if the episode is still sitting on your DVR). Regardless, knowing ahead of time how the walker-massacre at Herschel's barn would end didn't make watching a zombie-fied Sophia getting blown away by Rick any easier. Damn, that was brutal...and yet, it was probably one of the best moments in the series so far.
Well, now we have to wait until February 12 to see what the fallout from that whole mess will be, and if these preview clips from the next episode, entitled "Nebraska", are any indication, it certainly looks like Shane is off his rocker for good - and that the others are realizing it too:
It looks like that also answers one of the questions left open at the end of the episode - why didn't any of Herschel's people tell them that Sophia was in the barn? It's because the only one who would have known was Otis...who Shane left behind as a walker happy meal to bring medical supplies back for Carl after he had been shot (this was also confirmed by Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman on AMC's Talking Dead recap show after the finale aired). So them not knowing was really Shane's fault. Kinda.
You can find lots more Walking Dead extras on their official site. The series continues on AMC on February 12.

Fox supreme-being Tom Rothman tells Coming Soon they want Matthew Vaughn back directing more X-Men, preferably the First Class sequel, the one they assigned Simon Kinberg to write weeks back.
His comments though lack a definite stance, surprising since he runs the studio, and more on the "We really, really hope it happens" kind of answer. Thus those of you leaping for joy under the guise this means another X-Men movie where the mutties say "Groovy" at the end of a sentence is a done deal best take a dose of Valium.
What could fuel this being a reality however comes from this interesting tip via Movie Hole. The Wolverine won't lens anytime next year, at least until "some problems on the Japan side" are resolved. Since Fox currently has squat for their summer 2013 schedule outside of a Rise of the Apes sequel* everyone is assuming will drop by then, this would definitely help the cause of X-Men: First Class – The Kennedy Assassination.
If this gets made and with Vaughn at the helm, expect to see January Jones nowhere in sight. Of course, you guys already figured that out.
*Worth noting, for the record, Rupert Wyatt is also lumped into the same category as Vaughn but there's considerably more evidence on the monkeys side of returning. Namely, that expensive new deal for Andy Serkis (Who had absolutely zero sequel options in his Rise of the Apes contract) and Wyatt having to turn down Londongrad, the drama about ex-KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko at Warner Brothers, because of his pre-existing commitment to Apes 2: Keep on Rising.
