Arkham City - The Joker Promo

Rocksteady have released a new promo for Arkham City centered on The Joker. The promo is full of atmosphere and gives a little hint towards a big overall scheme that The Joker may be running in the game.

The first game (Arkham Asylum) was excellent and this one really looks like it is going to top it with it's variety of bosses from Batman's awesome rogues gallery and wider playing map.

Arkham City hits stores on October 18th.

New Castle And Person Of Interest Promos

Usually don't do TV show episode promos but I thought I'd put these up, The Castle promo as it's a special superhero episode and Person of Interest because it's an awesome new show that just debuted on CBS and the more people know about it the better!

Full Scale Electric Tron Lightcycle by Parker Brothers Choppers

There is never a lot of movie news on a weekend so I thought I'd put this up as it's pretty damn cool. Now if only this thing makes production!

Fox To Adapt Asimov's 'The Caves of Steel'

I liked i, Robot but apparently the hardcore sci fi fans did not, and now another one of Asimov's books is being adapted for the big screen by Fox according to the toldya. This will be directed by Henry Hobson and written by John Scott. The duo are currently working on their first film called 'Maggie', so Fox are not going for experience on this.

The film is set around 3,000 years in the future and below is a synopsis from Amazon.

The first of Asimov's robot novels, chronicling the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together. Detective Elijah Baley invesitgates the murder of an offworlder in Spacetown. In the opinion of the Spacers, the murder is tied up with recent attempts to sabotage the Spacer-sponsored project of converting Earth to an integrated human/robot society on the model of the Outer Worlds. To search for the killer in the City's vast caves of steel, Elijah is assigned a Spacer partner named R. Daneel. That's Robot Daneel. And notwithstanding the celebrated Three Laws of Robotics, which should make such a murder impossible, R. Daneel is soon Elijah's prime suspect.

I have to say this sounds great to me as I love this type of sci fi, and given how far into the future it is set we should see some fantastic new technology, however it seems a large undertaking for two guys who are yet to release a movie.

Poster And Trailer For Man On a Ledge

Ok so the title isn't the best and Sam Worthington divides opinion, but I have heard good things about the script for this and this trailer just put my ass in a cinema seat. It looks like an intense, intriguing thriller with a cool heist in the center of it.

As for the poster, it's very effective and probably not a good one to stare at too long if you suffer from vertigo, however the thing that caught my eye was the name Genesis Rodriguez, yes she's pretty but so are lots of girls, however that has gotta be one of the coolest stage names I've seen in some time, and her role in this seems pretty central.

Man on a Ledge opens January 13th, 2012 and you can check the trailer and poster below courtesy of Yahoo! Movies,

New Real Steel Clip!

I have a good feeling about this film, apparently the early reviews are positive and everything I have seen makes me feel it will blend heart and spectacle really well, with a very likable lead in Hugh Jackman.

Comingsoon.net got hold of a new clip via Dreamworks and in it we see Jackman's boxer Charlie teaching his fighting robot Atom some moves. I think it's a cool little sequence.

Hugh Jackman was also on WWE Raw the other night promoting the film to what I imagine will be a big part of it's audience and he did a fantastic, job, throwing himself right into the theatrics and action of pro wrestling, here's a little vid of his interaction with Dolph Ziggler.

Trailer For The Grey

I love movies set in the snow like Cliffhanger, or even if it's only part of the movie, like the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back on Hoth, or the end of Inception. Here we have a movie set in the Alaskan wilderness, a snow covered terrain with Liam Neeson surviving a plane crash and trying to survive the elements and a pack of hungry wolves.

Basically Nesson is always awesome and this looks great as both a character drama and a badass action adventure film. it opens January 27th, 2012 and you can check the trailer (Courtesy of Yahoo movies) out below.

A group of oil-rig roughnecks are left stranded on the sub-arctic tundra after their plane experiences a complete mechanical failure and crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. The survivors, battling mortal injuries, biting cold and ravenous hunger, are relentlessly hunted and pursued by a vicious pack of rogue wolves

Jeremy Renner To Play The King Of Heists

Toldya are reporting that Jeremy Renner has signed on for yet another movie to add to The Avengers, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, The Bourne Legacy and Hansel & Gretel. I guess he's looking to match that run Jude Law had a few years back.

The film is an adaption of the true crime book 'King of Heists' by J. North Conway and tells the tale of George Leslie who rocked up in New York in 1878 as a gentleman who was a bit of charmer and Ladies man, but in truth he was a mastermind behind several bank robberies and had come to New York to pull of the Heist to end all heists.

I think this is a good pick for Renner amongst the fantasy and espionage projects. I love a heist movie and the period setting along with the fact it's based on true events really put this one on my "Movies to follow" list.

Here is a synopsis of the book from Amazon:

Bringing the notorious Gilded Age to life in a thrilling narrative, J. North Conway tells the story of those who plotted and carried out this infamous robbery, how they did it, and how they were tracked down and captured. The robbery was planned by criminal mastermind George Leonidas Leslie - a society architect and ladies' man whose double life as the nation's most prolific bank robber led him to be dubbed the King of the Bank Robbers. "The New York Times" proclaimed the 1878 heist the most sensational in the history of bank robberies in this country. An absorbing tale of greed, sex, crime, betrayal, and murder, "King of Heists" blends all the richness of history with the thrills of the best fiction.
