This Man Might Be The New Batman

Derek

According to a story floating around, 47-year old actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a meeting with MAN OF STEEL director Zack Snyder about the Superman vs Batman movie. If true this would lend some credence to the rumor that Snyder is looking to go with a more seasoned Batman who has been in the costume for a while and is more of the grizzled version of Batman from the DARK KNIGHT comics. Morgan also has past history with Snyder having played The Comedian in the WATCHMEN movie. Of course this could all be nonsense and Morgan’s name is just being … Continue reading This Man Might Be The New Batman

We Have A New Doctor Who

Derek

Peter Capaldi (who is a bit of a vet of the Who universe having appeared in the DOCTOR WHO episode, The Fires of Pompeii as well as having a role in TORCHWOOD: CHILDREN OF EARTH) has been picked for the role and I couldn’t be happier. For one it gives us an older Doctor which I am all for because I was beginning to think that we would be stuck with Tiger Beat cover boys as The Doctor for the foreseeable future. So the BBC and the show’s producers basically have rained all of the fangirl and shipper factions of the Who fanbase with this pick.

This Sharknado Stuff Has Gotten Out Of Hand

Derek

Now I admit to getting sucked into the hype over SHARKNADO when it was first announced just based off the complete absurdity of the idea and I watched the movie when it premiered on Syfy but the movie was incredibly bad even by the Syfy channel original monster movie standards. Plus no one actually watched the movie despite SHARKNADO mania running wild all over Twitter.
So while it was bad enough that Syfy has aired the movie every week since it premiered but now they plan on having a limited run in actual movie theaters.

Regal Cinemas will host midnight shows of Sharknado on August 2 at roughly 200 theaters across the country, including New York City’s Regal Union Square Stadium 14 and L.A.’s Regal L.A. Live Stadium 14.

I Am So Happy That Godzilla Will Actually Look Like Godzilla In The New Godzilla Movie

Derek

After that disastrous of piece of crap that Roland Emmerich made where Godzilla was revealed to be a Teen Mom, I was a bit worried when I heard the news that Hollywood was going to make another attempt at bringing the big guy to US movie screens. But my worries in one area at least were unfounded because the Godzilla that Legendary Pictures is producing will look like Godzilla is supposed to look…which is how the character has looked for the past 60 years.

What Marvel Character Will Vin Diesel Be Playing?

Derek

Vin Diesel (an admitted big comics fan) admitted a few weeks ago that Marvel requested a meeting with him but didn’t offer any more info as to just what that meeting was about. Of course minds began racing about which Marvel movie franchise would the star of THE FAST & THE FURIOUS films be involved in with everything from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy to Black panther being tossed out there by speculative fans and reporters.
Then Diesel posted the above image along with this message on his Facebook page:

Marvel meeting today… Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed…P.s. Thanks to Our page, for pushing to make it happen… you know I get tunnel vision with my work… and after that meeting today… wow!

Still not sold on the design for this character and have to say I liked the pre-post-production photos that leaked a few months ago more than I am liking the finished product.
and is it just me or is there a bit of an “homage” to other big screen villains from the past? Click onward to see who I am talking about.

RIP Jim Kelly

Derek

From Deadline:

The martial arts grandmaster who starred alongside Bruce Lee in the iconic 1973 film Enter The Dragon died yesterday. He was 67. His ex-wife confirmed his death in a Facebook post. Jim Kelly was an international karate champion with his own school in LA when he was cast in the kung fu classic billed as “the first American-produced martial arts spectacular. His fighting skills and imposing screen presence — a lanky 6-foot-2 topped by a funky Afro — earned Kelly the title role in 1974′s Black Belt Jones. After that, he appeared in numerous action films through the ’70s. Later he became a professional tennis player, joining the USTA Senior Men’s Circuit and starred alongside LeBron James in a 2004 Nike TV ad.

Check out a cool tribute video to the legendary Mr. Kelly after the jump.

Will We Get All 11 Doctors Together For The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special?

Derek

This bit of news/rumor came from the Blogtor Who blog and was immediately taken down which tends to lend more credence to it being true than not. I’m sure some inventive effects will be used to deal with the fact that some of the actors who portrayed The Doctor over the years have passed on and then some wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff will need to be done to explain how all of the Doctors can be in the same place at the same time. But if all of the living actors will indeed be gathered together then I will be a truly happy … Continue reading Will We Get All 11 Doctors Together For The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special?
