    Sentinel Blueprints From "X-Men: Days of Future Past"

    I am really enjoying the marketing campaign for X-Men: Days Of Future Past. I know you fellow "McFlys" feel the same way. The marketing continues via The Official Twitter Feed for the film revealing the what a Sentinel's insides look like courtesy of a blueprint from Trask Industries.

    In 1973, Trask Industries introduced the first Sentinel production model, the Mark I. Bolivar Trask’s groundbreaking research in AI, robotics and autonomous ballistic systems laid the foundation for the world's most capable anti-mutant defense system. Since the program's inception, we’ve continued to advance our founder's cause through eight additional generational upgrades and enhancements.

    As we celebrate five decades of achievement, we also bid farewell to regular production of the Mark I and shift our efforts to full-time manufacturing of the Mark X — our first complete overhaul of the Sentinel line. These highly anticipated units will combine next-generation nanotechnology and bioweapon breakthroughs, promising an even brighter future for the human race.

    Poster For Music Documentary "Muscle Shoals" 

    Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of America's most creative and defiant music. Under the spiritual influence of the "Singing River," as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals has helped create some of the most important and resonant songs of all time. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, Hall brought black and white together in Alabama's cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations. He is responsible for creating the "Muscle Shoals sound" and The Swampers, the house band at FAME that eventually left to start their own successful studio, known as Muscle Shoals Sound. Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge and others bear witness to Muscle Shoals' magnetism, mystery and why it remains influential today.

    Were Goyer, Nolan, Snyder & WB Targeting The Dark Knight Returns All Along?

    The speculation & buzz surrounding The Brothers Warner major Batman vs Superman announcement at last month's San Diego Comic Con was that it was a spur of the moment decision. There were theories that Man Of Steel hadn't made enough Benjamins in the eyes of the suits and they were looking for over a billion worldwide. Insert Batman here.

    It seems like an odd creative choice to take the commercially successful foundation established in Man Of Steel and just throw Batman into a sequel. It screams of the studio stepping in and wanting to make even more money and rush along the path to Justice League. Or does it? Could it be possible that this was actually the plan all along?

    Nolan has said time and time again that David Goyer came up with an interesting and innovative way to reintroduce Superman, but could it be possible that the reintroduction of Batman went hand in hand with The Man Of Steel? Who better to shepard such a project than the guy who has been chomping at the bit to make The Dark Knight Returns for years?

    Zack Snyder (December 2008)

    "I'm interested in Frank Miller's [graphic novel] The Dark Knight Returns. That's really my favourite comic book.

    "The studio has this massive franchise and I don't think they'll let me make a Batman movie where he's 50 years old and Ronald Reagan is president."

    GEEK FILES @COVENTRY TELEGRAPH

    To muddle things even further, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, commented on the willinginess to play Batman in a Dark Knight Returns adaptation to MOVIEHOLE.NET in February of 2009.

    "I've heard Zack mention he'd like to do it in the media a few times recently. I'd love to see myself in that role. I don't think [Warner] will do it at the moment, not with what The Dark Knight is doing. But the studio loves Zack, and if Watchmen does as well as we hope it does, you never know, he might get a crack at this thing."

    If you remember, it was just days ago that THINKMCFLYTHINK.COM posted that the actor was meeting with Snyder to discuss the role of Batman in Batman vs Superman. We'll be with you as the news, rumors, speculation continues to swirl.
