Retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they'll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.
Incase you haven't heard, Warner Brothers really wants to be rolling in that Avengers money, although they don't really want to put forth the effort to try, so they'll probably just skip right to the big-stuff.
Zack Snyder, who's about to make WB pretty wealthy with his upcoming Man of Steel is apparently the rumor of the week to be in for the big Justice League film, despite rumors every other week that he's not involved, or he is, or hell, they'll probably just give it to JJ Abrams, since by the time he cranks out Star Wars Episode X WB will finally greenlight this damn thing.
"Whether we get a Justice League, [the studio says], depends on Man of Steel," says the report. "If we do, they say, Zack Snyder will be asked to direct."
Apparently, Snyder has also decided to put a few little nods to the wide DC Cinematic universe that so far includes a failed Green Lantern film and Nolan's Batman trilogy:
“...in a weird way it is also the DC world," he says. "I have been making references to the DC universe, just to let you know that world is out there.”
Snyder also had this to say on the Nolan films and how they compare to Marvel's cash-cows:
“When you talk about superhero action movies, there is Batman of course, and I think that Chris (Nolan) laid a lot of important groundwork. And there are the Marvel movies... I don’t mean it as an insult, Iron Man and Hulk are strong superheroes, but we’ve never had a superhero movie where everyone can go, ‘Yeah, I understand the why of the whole thing.’ Superman is a character who deciphers the why of superheroes.”
"Well that’s something that Zack Snyder is going to wind up doing."
Take all of this at face-value though. We've been hearing Justice League reports for a while now, and as Warner Brothers says, this all depends on Man of Steel.
I really like Snyder and have enjoyed everything he's done, from 300 to Sucker Punch I believe that beneath his unique visual style he also has a great grasp on complexity and a way to manipulate the audiences emotions, so if anyone CAN do Justice League, I'd believe in Snyder.
I just hope when and if WB goes through with it, they make it accessible; but also engaging. If done right, Justice League could be the ensemble film with the emotional depth to match it's visual flare, where as The Avengers had the action; but not much in the way of anything beneath the surface.
The Dark Knight Trilogy is hailed by many fanboy’s as the greatest interpretation of batman on film to date. Everything director Christopher Nolan did from the story to the casting and music selection is put on such a pedestal that at the mere mention of a glaring plot hole or misstep in direction the world around these fanboys crumbles.
My first introduction to Batman was reruns of the Adam West tv series from the 60’s. I loved that show as a kid, it never once dawned on me that it was originally intended to be a comedy. The first Batman movie, let alone movie in general that I saw in a theatre was Batman (1989). Tim Burton’s Batman is what I shaped my entire idea of the character around. Michael Keaton who had to that point primarily done comedies was cast as Batman and history was made.
If you were to ask any random assortment of current Batman fans today who their favorite Batman was, they’d either be too young to remember anything prior to Christian Bale, so he’d win by default, or they would have their head so far up Nolan’s ass drinking his fucking Kool-Aid they’d take offense at the thought of anyone other than Bale being Crowned the definitive Dark Knight. Well fuck those fucking fuckers right in their new age hipster asses! It may be 90% nostalgia and 10% stubborn Asshole that makes up my opinion of Keaton being the greatest batman to ever grace the big screen, but fuck it. I originally planned a top ten list of reasons that make Keaton the better batman, but I thought fuck that too, I’ll just rant like a forum dwelling troll asshole and tell you how you’re wrong and I’m right.
Keaton’s Bruce Wanye/Batman was a pimp. He barely knew Vicky Vale and he nailed that shit. Val Kilmer sported a shit eating grin after a make out session with Chase Meridian, but he couldn’t close the fucking deal. George Clooney had a smoking hot model girlfriend, but that seemed more like a diversion for the public from his obvious homosexuality. Then there’s Bale who was friends with Rachel Dawes his entire life and still never hit that shit. Right up until the one night stand with Talia you’d almost assume he was a fucking virgin. Those models he brought to the restaurant in Begins don’t count either, he only brought them to help fake his way through being billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, lame.
The bad motherfucker status that Keaton maintained didn’t carry through to the other Batmans. Keaton had a reputation for killing off his villains. He dropped jokers ass off a fucking building and he didn’t do shit to help Catwoman or Penguin out, so he can take credit for their demise as well. Val Kilmer threw some quarters at Two Face and he fell, that’s exactly as stupid as it sounds. Clooney played Ice Hockey with Mr. Freeze’s henchman and a diamond, but he couldn’t pull the plug on the governator. Bale had some bad ass to him, sure. Like when he hung Flask upside down and said “Swear to Me!!!” that was pretty fucking great. But the fact that he didn’t drop the joker after he killed his woman or he didn’t fight fire with fire when Bane fucked his shit up made him a vagina.
The Batmobile. As much as it had nothing to do with the people portraying Batman it still gets points in my books. I still think the first Batmobile from 89 had the coolest gadgets and more importantly look. The shield function alone is enough for it to top every other Batmobile. The florescent blue light engine in Kilmer’s Batmobile wasn’t very stealthy or dark and served no real purpose. It was still sort of cool looking as a kid, but in hind sight it blew goats. Not nearly as many goat balls and cocks were gargled over the atrocious Batmobile from Batman and Robin though. My god that was an awful car, they replaced the blue lights for red, made it one seat and took the top off. Because you know Batman likes to roll with his tunes pumping and his top down. I didn’t hate The Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark knight, but it wasn’t even called the fucking Batmobile! It did cool shit; it looked like and even sounded like a fucking Batmobile, but it was called The Tumbler. Fuck you Nolan, I rest my case.
The best Batman suit was and still is the original from 89’. The chest piece resembles Roman body armour and everything about it seemed functional, at least for an 80s movie anyway. There’s no real point in discussing the abomination that was Bat Nipples through the Schumacher era, cunt scab. The suit from begins was cool and it had a good explanation, but the cowl was fucking huge! The suit in The Dark Knight and in the turd formerly known as Rises was a huge improvement. But it was almost so high tech it looked more like Robocop with a cape than it did Batman.
The voice of Batman was fucking perfected by Keaton. The man just “got it”. He’s a creature of the night lurking in the shadows etc. He spoke with a menacing and confident low tone while masking his real voice, obviously. Val Kilmer it seems was too afraid to step out of Keaton’s shadow and try something new so he did his best to imitate him, shame on you Kilmer. Clooney’s batman voice was more comical than Adam West who was playing the role in a comedic show. He made zero attempts to mask his identity or sound remotely intimidating. Instead he chose to bob his fucking head around like a bobble head and talk like a snarky cunt that hadn’t quite made it in Hollywood yet, but was doing quite well on a little show called E.R., fucking asshole. Bale was intimidating yes, but that’s only because it sounded like he was doing his best to imitate Satan. Jesus H fuck man tone it back 10 notches.
Being a believable Bruce Wayne is just as important as Batman. Keaton was able to play a mysterious billionaire with a lot of baggage like no one else. Val Kilmer’s Bruce was a little bitch that needed therapy because he was sad. Clooney was way too full of himself to give a rats ass about anything else around him, and he played the same character in and out of the cowl. Bale was good at being a snooty cunt bag Bruce, but he was being so fake it would’ve been a lot more obvious he’s hiding something. Most importantly Keaton’s Bruce wasn’t afraid to get a little bit nuts when he had to.
The thing that makes Keaton the absolute best Batman is what makes him standout the most from everyone that’s portrayed the character. He never knowingly agreed to do a less than great Batman movie. It was pure movie magic and Tim Burton’s vision that made Batman 89’ the mega hit that it was. When Burton did Batman Returns he either got too comfortable within his artistic liberties or he was straight up saying fuck you to the studio and he knew it. I have no idea what he was thinking when he included giant mutant penguins, but who gives a shit the movie still holds up pretty good and it’s actually a lot better movie than The Dark Knight Rises. So I think when Keaton agreed to the sequel He definitely thought they were doing something good again. He’s also the guy that said what the fuck is this shit when the studio decided to go a brighter and more light route with Batman Forever. Both he and Burton walked instead of taking what would have been a huge payout. The same can’t be said for Kilmer, Clooney or Bale. Yes Bale too, he knew damn well Rises was garbage. He all but said so in interviews. Bale was quoted as saying he did Rises because he was contractually obligated to do so and they would have sued him out the ass. That didn’t stop Mr. Michael “Best Motherfucking Batman Ever” Keaton from walking away. So fuck you Bale, fuck you.
Lee Pace ("The Hobbit") is in final negotiations to play the villain in Disney and Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.
The identity of Pace's villainous character is being kept under wraps.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" finds Quill leading a group of alien superheroes as they protect the solar system from an evil alien race.
The cast currently features Chris Pratt as Star Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, WWE star Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer and Michael Rooker as Yondu. Ophelia Lovibond will also co-star in an unknown supporting role.
I'm sure some of you basement dwellers can try and guess who Pace will play; but who knows. I understand everyone is excited for Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm am too, as well as somewhat skeptical.
It is, however, the only "fresh" Marvel movie we're getting in the near future, so it could be Star Wars or Green Lantern. Who knows.
Marvel's Guradians of the Galaxy comes out August 1 2014.
Giving us our best look at the new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 costume comes pictures from Comic Book Movie and picture of the Arkham Asylum Ravencroft Institute Guards from the director himself, Marc Webb.
Expect more set pictures to leak the more they film this thing, and hopefully a trailer by July at the latest, similar to The Amazing Spider-Man.
The film, directed by Marc Webb from a script by James Vanderbilt (and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci) will star Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Paul Giamatti,Colm Feore, Chris Cooper, Sally Field, and Felicity Jones.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will come at you on May 2, 2014 in 2D and ball-grabbing 3D.
For Peter Parker, life is busy. Between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen Stacy, high school graduation cannot come quickly enough. Peter has not forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away, but that is a promise he cannot keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
In an interview with ABC News plugging his Crustal Head Vodka, famous funny-guy Dan Aykroyd, best known for teasing the internet with the long running joke that you can expect a third Ghost Busters film before all the actors are dead, says Ghostbusters 3 is still happening, whatever that should mean.
I feel re-encouraged, reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen. I know that we're expecting half of the screenplay to be completed very soon. It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year. I won't say anything, it's very exciting. The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons, that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come through.
Now, this has been going on for how long now? Might as well just wait a few more years and reboot it.
I shouldn't even bother writing this, because I'll think "Jesus, maybe Bryan Singer will finally go work on this movie instead of taking pictures on Twitter about it" and then the next day he posts some more shit.
Today it was a Vine video of chairs, confirming mutants Bishop and Warpath will be in this big honkin son of a bitch of a film.
It was confirmed a while back that Idris Elba Omar Sy (The Intouchables, Moon Indigo) would be involved, and everyone seems to think he'll play Bishop. Seems legit.
Another actor, who is one of three not attached to a certain character (Omar and Dinkelege) is Taylor Lautner Boo Boo Stewart (The Twilight Saga 1-7) who is pretty much a lock-in for the Native American X-Man known as Warpath.
Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Ellen Page, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Ian McKellen, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Fan Bingbing, Daniel Cudmore, and probably more star.
The X-Men must travel in time to change a major historical event that could globally impact on man and mutant kind.
Directed by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, Valkyrie, X-Men 2: X-Men United) and written by Matthew Vaughn and Simon Kinberg, X-Men: Days of Future Past comes out July 18th, 2014.

In the film, a young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.
In case Mark Steven Johnson's 2003 picture with Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Garner didn't do it for you, and you had already gotten your hopes up for David Slade's potential reboot that was tossed around back in 2012, well it appears Marvel Studios has gotten back the rights to "The Man Without Fear" (which I bet $10 will be the film's subtitle).
Marvel Studios President of Production, Kevin Feige, spoke with Newsarama today at an Iron Man 3 press junkett, and out of all of that circle-jerking about how "great" and "gritty" the third installment of the super-powered franchise will be, Feige let slip that Marvel Studios had, indeed, re-acquired Daredevil from Fox after their rights expired on October 10 2012:
We directly asked Feige if the reports that Marvel Studios now had the rights to Daredevil were accurate, to which he replied, "To Daredevil? Yes."
Well, there you have it. Obviously there's no word or plans to make a new Daredevil feature; but I'm sure the upcoming large slate of "Avengers Phase 2" films will keep you Marvel nerds calmed till the news is leaked and then made a big deal out of, till it's confirmed Marvel makes it a PG-13 Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D Fest.
You can see what David Slade's vision of Daredevil would have been like below in this NC-17 rated sizzle reel.
In what will probably be the Spring Breakers of the summer movie season that you'll go see with a bunch of hyped up tweens eager to see Emma Watson in a funny "cool and edgy" movie that turns out to be a thought provoking acid-trip depressing-drama, a new trailer for Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring made it's way online.
The film stars Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga, Leslie Mann, and Israel Broussard and will open June 14, 2013 (Limited).
A group of celebrity-fixated L.A. teens begin burglarizing the homes of the rich and famous in this crime drama directed by Sofia Coppola, and inspired by actual events. As the members of the so-called Bling Ring begin taking greater risks to acquire the latest luxury brands, they quickly become theprisoners of their own ostentatious obsession.
