Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers DVD Clip

"The great halls of Asgard have fallen silent since a new king has overtaken the throne. His name is Loki, son of almighty Odin, brother to the Thunder God, Thor. Once a powerful trickster, the God of Mischief, Loki now rules a grand kingdom with little regard for its subjects. His only thoughts are focused inward, toward the origins of his own pain and suffering. To quell his torment and to gain the respect he feels he so rightfully deserves, Loki must now execute the prisoner chained deep within the dungeons of Asgard, the one man who has ever shown him love. His own brother.

Adapted from the acclaimed miniseries Loki, from Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic, 'Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers' takes a powerful look inside the minds of two legendary nemeses, shedding light, like never before, on the depths of Thor and Loki's hatred, and love, for one another"

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers will be released tomorrow (9/13)

Star Wars on Blu-Ray: You Want This, Don't You?

You gotta hand it to George Lucas.  He can make a million fanboys cry out in terror whenever he makes yet another mind-boggingly dumb "update" to the original Star Wars trilogy, then make them go suddenly silent with some cool new TV spots for the blu-ray box set, which arrives in stores on Friday:

It's like a Jedi mind trick that turns you from your planned boycott to..."Dammit, I need this!"

I'm not a fan of Darth Vader's "NOOOO!!" either, but I'm definitely getting this box set.  I didn't save hang to those Best Buy gift cards all summer for nothing.

Real Steel Robot Character Posters

Comingsoon.Net has the exclusive on four new posters for the fighting robots in the up coming Hugh Jackman sci fi action drama.

I always think this type of individual character marketing is a good idea for this kind of movie, I recall the individual character TV spots for AOTC and thought they were a very smart piece of promotion.

Check two of the posters out below and go to the link to see two more.

R.I.P.D. Set Pictures Show Off Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Nice-Looking Car & Nothing Else

Nothing to take from these set pictures of R.I.P.D. except the fact that Ryan Reynolds is still getting work (Decent actor, and from what I've heard from folks who worked on Green Lantern, super nice guy, but not the box-office god executives were anticipating/expecting/hoping) and he continues the trend of driving pimp cars onscreen. Although it should be noted my experiences with Dodges are they look great, but are shit vehicles.

Still on the "iffy" side with the Robert Schwentke-directed supernatural action-comedy co-starring Jeff Bridges and Kevin Bacon (featured in those snap-shots). It's too Ghostbusters/Men in Black-sounding for my tastes.

Ever Wanted to Know What a Pixar Superman Might Look Like?

A few years back, our good pal Kofi Outlaw (aka the #2 big-cheese at Screen Rant) did a speculation piece hypothesizing if a reality was possible where Disney bought the Superman rights in lieu of the lawsuits going down between Warner Brothers/DC Comics and the Joe Shuster/Jerry Siegel estates.

Mind you, that's unlikely to happen given the heavily scrutinized details of what parties own what aspects to the character and property. Most of us can't imagine a settlement not going down before the release of The Man of Steel in June 2013. Similar thing happened before Superman the Movie hit cinemas in the holiday 1978 season. However what would a Superman movie look like done by, say, John Lasseter and the wizards at Pixar?

According to this very cool picture done up on the Superhero Hype! Forum via poster by the handle of Krypto, something like this.

Alas we'll just to settle on the likes of Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan instead.

Someone's Prayers Answered: Top Gun Getting Converted to 3D

I'm trying my best not to give the time of day to certain Star Trek producers/screenwriters posting conspiracy tweets on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Because that's totally appropriate and you're totally not a horrible human being for doing that.

Speaking of ideas that make you go, "Oh...fuck you," the world will be soon be getting a 3D converted version of Top Gun. Yes. You read that right.

THR has the dirty details. Barring approval of helmer Tony Scott, we could be see Goose and Iceman in three-dimensions in the early months of next year where it would face off against the equally point-less, and money-whoring, post-converted Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

Not answered in said article is who was clamoring for a 3D Top Gun to begin with. Although hearing Kenny Loggins in IMAX sound isn't the worst idea Hollywood's kicked around.

Batman's New Vehicle On The LA Set

This Blog has captured some awesome new set pics of the new aerial Bat vehicle on the Los Angeles set of The Dark Knight Rises.

The most interesting thing is on the occasions we saw it in Pittsburgh it was on a rig being driven along, giving off the idea it would be hovering in that portion of the film. However here it's been removed from the rig and attached to an overhead wire pulley system. It's going to be interesting to see exactly what this thing is capable of in the movie.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Poster

Yahoo! Movies has debuted the first poster for the new Mission Impossible film directed by Brad Bird. It's essentially a head shot of the image released a few weeks ago, with Tom Cruise looking intense and a bit mysterious, with the logo at the bottom along with the classic Mission Impossible lit fuse.

The fact the marketing is basically totally built on Tom Cruise so far, I think we can put away these silly ideas of Jeremy Renner taking over the franchise.

Two More Summer Blockbusters Set to Steal Your Ten Bucks in 2013

As is accustomed, the summer movie season has come to a close, next year's releases are locked and now studios are slotting their big releases (Some will go before cameras in the next 6-ish months, if they haven't already) for the year after next.

THR says 20th Century Fox and Disney/DreamWorks will split costs on Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse and cherry-picking the always-lucrative July 4th weekend in 2013 – Wednesday July 3rd to be exact. The House of the Mouse gets their white and black-lined gloves on domestic distribution and Internet boogeyman Tom Rothman's joint will handle it overseas where it will make most of its money.

Love Spielberg, always game when he sticks his hands in the blockbuster pie. But I can't get past that stupid, stupid title. That, of course, means I haven't read the book, which could very well be brilliant. But reading is for bitches and us idiot movie-goers require explosions to feed our attention spans!

Elsewhere, M. Night Shyamalan has yet another chance to reclaim his Sixth Sense/Unbreakable/Signs glory days. No, I don't think that's going to happen either.

But his latest, the sci-fi adventure thriller One Thousand A.E. stars both Will and Jaden Smith. So it's going to make a lot of money because it stars Big Willie and li'l Willie is forming a strong career of his own. Sony will drop that one on June 7, 2013. It has an interesting, in a good way, (given the source is Shyamalan) story:

"Set 1,000 years into the future, a young boy navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes."

For you kids out there keeping score, that's two more release-dates Star Trek 2 could have grabbed for 2013 but didn't (Seriously, something has got to be up for Abrams & Co. to be dragging their feet this long) and two more films to potentially give The Man of Steel blue-balls.
