I would have loved to see George Miller’s Justice League Mortal film, but apparently it just wasn’t meant to be. Right before the film was supposed to start shooting, Warner Bros. shut it down. Not long after the script for the film, which was written by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, leaked online.
The script may have been around awhile, and I’m sure some of you have already read it, but Comic Bug comics store in Manhattan Beach, California recently hosted a livenread of the script with a full cast of actors, and it’s really interesting. Unfortunately, the original cast wasn’t brought together to do this, but it’s still entertaining and worth checking out.
The live-read consists of Adam Marcus as the Narrator, Alfred Pennyworth; Jennifer Wenger as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince; Tracy Drolet as Iris Allen; Curtis Fortier as The Flash/Barry Allen; Will Dixon...

Sound on Sight undertook a massive project, compiling ranked lists of the most influential, unforgettable, and exciting action scenes in all of cinema. There were hundreds of nominees spread across ten different categories and a multi-week voting process from 11 of our writers. The results: 100 essential set pieces, sequences, and scenes from blockbusters to cult classics to arthouse obscurities.
If you’ve seen a film montage in the last 10 years, then you’ve been witness to at least one of the scenes mentioned on this list: the vibrating water glass from Jurassic Park signaling the T-Rex prowling nearby. It’s the perfect type of image to tell the audience: something is coming. These flashes of exhilaration are fan-favorites, and it’s no surprise to see them featured prominently as the centerpieces for some of the greatest films ever. It’s the invasion when the aliens come out of the sky, the...

Project Name: Cheeky Pulp
Asking For: £5,000 ($7,748.77) on Indiegogo
Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): £1,130 ($1,751.22)
Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 21
Description: A web series called Cheeky Pulp could be about a lot of different subjects. It could follow irreverent citrus farmers or impudent paper mill employees. In this case, though, Cheeky Pulp centers on a school for super-powered individuals whose students are brought together by an aspiring comic book author, and if that's not a wonderful premise, I don't know what is.
Lazulite Films, the studio behind Cheeky Pulp, is run by two student filmmakers who "want to make something fun and exciting this summer." In order to realize that dream, they've turned to Indiegogo, where they are hoping to raise money to fund what appears to be a typical British school story blended with supernatural elements and an artistic vibe.
In their pitch video,...

Whether storming a beach or a besieging castle, marching on foot or charging on horseback, in a historical epic or a fantasy extravaganza, battles scenes are some of the most complex and intricately choreographed of all action scenes. Capable of zooming in to a one-on-one fight between two foes or zooming out to show a big picture look at the action–and featuring anywhere from dozens to hundreds to thousands of extras, either flesh and blood or digital–these are the scenes in which wars are fought, tides are turned, and glory is won.

Hollywood has had a long love affair with the heist sub-genre. Dating as far back as the silent film era with 1928’s Alias Jimmy Valentine, and transcending various genres like westerns (The War Wagon), war (Kelly’s Heroes) and even animation (Toy Story 3), the heist has tantalized our fantasies and outsmarted our wits for decades. Whether it’s for the very last time before retirement, gathering the gang back together for a big payday or for the thrill of pulling off the perfect robbery, all heist films share one key element: commitment to a plan.

If you’re an action hero, pulling off daring rescues and badass escapes is just another day at the office. The rescue has been the prototypical action scene since humans have been able to put pen to paper. From Tarzan swinging in on a vine to Iron Man flying in on his jets, a hero isn’t a hero unless he can swoop in and save the damsel or the day. The only thing more exciting is if the clock is ticking on his escape. Whether it’s from a burning building,...

Despite the fact that it launched to a “disappointing” first weekend, How To Train Your Dragon has been roaring around the Us box office charts, and surged back to top position this weekend. Given that performance, it’s not really surprising that DreamWorks would want to get a sequel flying.And so it came to pass: in a otherwise dry financial report yesterday, DreamWorks boss Jeffrey Katzenberg announced the studio’s plan for the little Dragon film that could: "2010 is off to a strong start, thanks in large part to the performance of How To Train Your Dragon, which – having grossed nearly $375 million to date in worldwide box office – has become DreamWorks Animation's next franchise. We plan to release the sequel theatrically in 2013."Three years seems like a short timeline to get a big CG animated film made, but it’s not impossible – Dragon directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Saunders...
