CLOSING DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST

It's been enjoyable posting for this blog for the last three years but it's time to close it for good. It takes up too much of my time and to be honest it doesn't seem to generate much interest or visitors. Practically no comments or interaction leaves me with the feeling that I'm posting for a handful of people.

So with apologies to anyone who visits regularly It's time to close the blog for good. Bye now :) It's been fun.

TRANSFORMERS 3 SOUNDWAVE BANNER

A new banner for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, featuring Decepticon Soundwave. Soundwave was the custodian for the Decepticons while Megatron was on Earth in the comics but there is no telling how Bay will use him. Probably in a brash, loud fashion that makes little sense.

COWBOYS AND ALIENS - FULL TRAILER

Mixing up genre's has always been a conceit of the modern writer and this one looks likes it's going to work well. Coming from Iron Man Director John Favreau, Cowboys and Aliens is about man who wakes up in the wild west with no memory of who he is and a strange device attached to his forearm. After getting into trouble with the locals he quickly becomes their best hope as an alien attack begins on their settlement.

Director: John Favreau
Starring: Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell.
Release Date: July 2011

HANGOVER PART 2 CHARACTER POSTERS

What more can I say? Expect more of the same when this gets a release next month. Click to see six new character posts of the Wolfpack....

FAST FIVE - VIN DIESEL INTERVIEW

Vin Diesel speaks candidly about the fifth Fast and Furious film. It's clear that he genuinely enjoys these films and I'm glad they went back to the original cast for the last one as it seems to have given the franchise a real boost and lease of new life. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES CONCEPT ART

Check out the genuinely excellent concept art for Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Also we have some behind the scenes images of Andy Serkis in full on Avatar mode as he films his scenes and the transition into realistic apes. This is going to be good. Brutal but good.

SINGER AND VAUGHN TALK X-MEN PREQUEL SEQUEL

Brian Singer and Mathew Vaughn, the producer and director of the upcoming X-Men origins story X-Men: First Class spoke to Total Film about the ideas they have for a potential follow up to First Class. Both seem eager to do at least three films based on the origins of the X-Men and how Professor X and Magneto went from allies to enemies.

MICHAEL SHANNON ON BEING CAST AS ZOD

Recently cast as major Superman baddie General Zod, Michael Shannon makes a surprisingly charming and funny Q+A into an entertaining show. I did not expect this guy to be so interesting. And as for the accent? Just makes him funnier.


NEW GREEN LANTERN PROMO ART

Three slightly iffy looking images for Green Lantern. Like i said in previous posts, this just doesn't look convincing at all. I think it's the eyes. They look kinda cheap and tacky. But no doubt GL fans will love it. Anyway, click to see them.

BRAND NEW PRIEST TRAILER

 After about half a dozen release date changes it looks like Priest is finally coming out. It was pushed again and again and finally in order to convert it to 3D for a May 2011 release. Check out the trailer here.

SUPERMAN WILL BATTLE ZOD!

After months of speculation and misinformation Warner Bros dropped a surprise press release this morning stating that Superman's main enemy in Zack Snyder's new Superman movie will indeed be General Zod. Zod will be played by Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire).

Zod is one of Superman's most dangerous enemies as he has all of Superman's powers but none of his scruples or morals. He was seen in Richard Donner's Superman and Superman II played by Terrence Stamp. Zod quickly became a fan favourite in both the comics and films. 

Speculation over whether or not the main villain would be Zod has split the online community but I doubt that will rattle Snyder as the internet movie going fan is typically a fickle one and if their demands are not met, scorn is usually dealt out rather than respect for a filmmakers choices.

So far the cast list for Superman: Man of Steel is Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), Michael Shannon (General Zod), Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent), Diane Lane (Martha Kent) and Amy Adams as Louis Lane.

Man of Steel is out next year.








BOX OFFICE

It's All about the moolah baby! Some say I'm cynical but it's the truth.

Animated comedy "Hop" denies Russel Brand's Arthur remake a shot at the title by taking a second week at number one and inflating it's worldwide take to over $70 million which makes it's production budget. Still not sure how a film about rabbits can cost $68 million.


WARRIORS

Brothers go toe to toe in a no bad guy smash fest. Ace.

SINBAD

Sinbad makes a return on frickin Mars! Mars!

MELANCHOLIA

Kirsten Dunst nekkid and planet smashing. But looks boring..

JAKE GYLENHAAL

This guy is box office poison. We need a cull.

M NIGHT RETURNS

Seriously. Who still watches this guys films?
