Director Jon Favreau Will Not Return For “Iron Man 3”
Directed Jon Favreau recently posted this on his Twitter account: It’s true, I’m directing MAGIC KINGDOM, not IRON MAN 3. I’ve had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best. When I initially heard the rumor that Favreau may not return to direct IM3, I thought it was the same story as the […]
Darren Aronofsky is Directing “Wolverine 2”
News that Darren Aronofsky is completing his deal with 20th Century Fox to direct the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine is likely to make some people applaud, and the rest cringe. I’m left wondering which category I fall into. On one hand Aronofsky brings great talent to a series that started off with a whimper […]
“Fantastic Four” Reboot in the Works by Marvel Studios
I love superhero films as much as the next guy, but I have a problem with rebooting a franchise three years after the last installment. This is now the problem with all of the Marvel properties that were sold off to other movie studios before Marvel Studios was established i.e. Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade. […]
Rose Byrne and Jason Flemyng Join Matthew Vaughn’s “X-Men: First Class”
As Tim pointed out to me last night, Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is getting pretty close to its anticipated start date, but there is still a lot of casting going on. The anticipated start date is still a couple weeks away, but last I heard even with these two new cast members, they still […]
First Impressions: “Deadpool” starring Ryan Reynolds
I had a lot of problems with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I don’t want to get into them all, but I will tell you my biggest problem: Deadpool. I thought they cast the role perfectly with Ryan Reynolds. He can pull off the action and the comedy needed for the role. The film even featured some […]
“X-Men: First Class” Set For 2011 Release Date
I seem to be switching sides frequently on my interest for “X-Men: First Class.” I am frankly not too excited, because “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” were not good. I am excited because Matthew Vaughn, director of “Kick-Ass” and “Layer Cake” is helming this one. I’m not excited because they gave a […]
Joss Whedon Confirmed to be Directing Marvel’s “The Avengers”
It has technically only been a rumor now for a few months, but today at San Diego Comic Con it was confirmed that Firefly creator Joss Whedon will be taking the reins of the Marvel supergroup film, The Avengers. Whedon talked about the upcoming Avengers film during a panel on which he shared the stage […]
Summit Entertainment Developing TV Series Based on 2009’s ‘Push’
Yes, you heard that right. The action film, Push, that only domestically grossed $32 million is being made into a television series. Summit it seems is looking to push its success into the arena of home entertainment as well. Push represents one of the viable properties they have for television, since their biggest success, Twilight, […]
‘X-Men’ Might Have Found a New Hope in Bryan Singer
Bryan Singer is apparently in talks with Fox about another X-men movie according to the Associated Press. Is the franchise still viable after films like X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, both which had great opening weekends then dropped steadily thereafter? As much as I love comic books and comic based films sometimes […]
‘Venom’ Movie gets Gary Ross as Writer/Director
I like Gary Ross for one main reason, Pleasantville. Although, you may like him for penning/directing Seabiscuit. He doesn’t really seem like the type of person to write Spider-man 4 or be the new creative mind behind the Venom spinoff. If you look through his body of work, he is responsible for a certain type […]
