Joe Quesada Talks About How Awesome Thor Will Be
29 November 2009 9:02 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Both The Iron Man and Hulk movies have been pretty darn good, and Iron Man 2 will doubt be awesome. But what about Thor? It's a big question mark as to how this film will turn out. According to Joe Quesada, it's the bee's knees.Comicbookresources.com has more from Joe: We are incredibly confident. And there isn't much I could say to convince people beyond, "Look at these designs! Look at this script! Look at the moments in this story and tell me it won't be a huge success." But, that's obviously something I can't do, so the one thing I can say – and I've said as much to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige – is that people are going to go into this movie with a preconceived idea about what it will be. If you're a comics fan, you'll have a preconceived notion of what you're going to get. »
A Serious Man and the odd movie out
29 November 2009 1:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A Serious Man may be getting rave reviews – but it's like nothing the Coens have made before. Joe Queenan on weird one-offs and the directors who make them
About halfway through the very funny, very disturbing, very ethnic new film A Serious Man, the modern-day Job who is the serious man in question climbs up on to the roof of his ghastly 1960s Minneapolis suburban home and tries to adjust the antenna to improve his TV reception. Beleaguered on all fronts – conjugally, professionally, medically – Larry Gopnik, a dorky physics professor who may be about to lose his job and is very likely to lose his family, is a bright, principled Jewish man whose children have begged him to fix the antenna so they can watch F Troop, an idiotic 1960s comedy. Many of Larry's travails unfold as songs from Jefferson Airplane's seminal 1967 LP Surrealistic Pillow play in the background. »

Anyone Wants Another Amityville Remake? No? The Weinsteins Do…
26 November 2009 1:11 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
It’s either a bold, brave move on the part of a company who know how to reinvent a horror classic merely five years after the last rehash, or it’s the desperate flogging of a horse that’s not only dead but was set six feet under a few years ago.
Nevertheless the Weinstein Company and Dimension films believe the time is rife again for a return to The Amityville Horror, according to Bloody-Disgusting, and despite the 2005 remake starring a bearded be-sixpacked Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George not exactly chilling friends and unnerving people, the prospect of another visit to Long Island looks to be in our future.
Of course the project is in the very early stages and there’s little chance that this will see the inside of a cinema for a good long while, yet it points to a disturbing trend, namely the rebooting of a »

Week in Geek: Kenneth Branagh's Thor is coming together
26 November 2009 7:45 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From Anthony Hopkins to Natalie Portman, Thor is picking up steam with a raft of castings, but how closely will the film stick to Stan Lee's 1962 comic?
Kenneth Branagh is a lucky man. Unlike the unfortunate director who will, eventually, be tasked with reviving the fortunes of Superman, Branagh is bringing to the big screen a superhero (Thor) with no movie precedent. The closest thing to the son of Odin who's popped up on film so far has been the hunky car mechanic who slightly resembled him in Chris Columbus's trashy 1987 comedy Adventures in Babysitting.
And Branagh seems to be making all the right moves. He's avoided reported studio pressure to cast a famous face – Josh Hartnett was said to be in the running – and instead plumped for the little-known Chris Hemsworth, who was Captain Kirk's dad in Star Trek for about five minutes. As everyone who saw Daredevil knows, »

Stan Lee Talks More About ‘Thor’ Cameo
19 November 2009 1:45 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Given his history of cameos, (Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Daredevil, etc.) it’s not exactly shocking that Lee will be getting one in Thor. Here’s what the George Washington of Marvel Comics said to MTV about meeting with the film’s director, four-time Academy Award nominee, Kenneth Branagh:
“I had lunch with Branagh, [who's] the nicest guy in the world as well as the most talented… months ago, when he was first starting on the movie, he said he would get a cameo for me.”
There ya have it. In case you’re insane and want to know exactly when Stan Lee will appear in the background of the film selling hot dogs or whatever, he had this to say to those dogged MTV folks when pressed for details:
“I think he has more important things to think of at the moment with the movie — like who he »

Eric Bana talks Love the Beast - Rt Interview
16 November 2009 8:21 AM, PST | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »
Not a lot of people know that actor Eric Bana, familiar to most from roles in the likes of Star Trek, Munich and Ang Lee's Hulk, is a massive petrol head. With the release of Love the Beast, Bana aims to change that. It's a love letter to his pride and joy, a Ford Gt Falcon Coupe which he's owned since he was 15, a documentary about his obsession with it and with racing, and the mourning attached to his crash during the Targa rally in 2007. Along the way Bana interviews the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and... »
Stan Lee Talks Twitter With MTV Splash Page

From Splash Page: It's no secret that many creators in and around the comics scene have embraced Twitter these days—and many of them make regular appearances in our daily Twitter Report. Perhaps one of the most surprising creators with a regular presence in the Twitterverse, however, is one of the industry's most beloved icons: Stan Lee.
The co-creator of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, the X-Men and countless other popular characters, the 86-year-old Lee has taken to Twitter with surprising ease. A typical 24 hours with @SmilinStanLee offers readers a host of witty observations, tongue-in-cheek commentary and self-deprecating humor that reveals why Stan "The Man" Lee is one of comics' living legends.
I spoke with Lee about his arrival on the Twitter scene, why he's taken to the microblogging tool so easily, and why communicating with fans on Twitter actually has him feeling like he's gone back in time.

Taylor Swift Achieves 'Fearless' Feat at Cma Awards!
11 November 2009 11:00 PM, PST | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
There was no upstaging Taylor Swift at the 43rd Annual Cma Awards in Nashville on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old singer/songwriter became the youngest-ever winner of the entertainer of the year award and captured four trophies in all. “I will never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has happened to me,” an emotional Taylor said after being named entertainer of the year. She also scored awards for best female vocalist, best album (Fearless) and best music video (“Love Story”), adding good-naturedly while accepting the vocalist award: “I want to thank every single person in this room tonight for not running up on the stage during this speech.” Co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood also poked fun at Taylor’s encounter with Kanye West at the "2009 MTV Video Music Awards,” singing: “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Kanye … because cowboys have manners, »

Supernatural 5.08 "Changing Channels" Recap
6 November 2009 1:06 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
This week's hijinks begin with the Winchesters investigating a "bear attack" in Wellington, Ohio. An interview with the victim's wife reveals that the attacker was not a bear, but the Incredible Hulk (the Lou Ferrigno version). Sam finds candy wrappers at the crime scene, and it seems the victim was quite a hothead himself and thus received his just desserts. The situation reeks of the Trickster (in case you weren't paying attention during the 'Then' section five minutes ago). Sam, being of the utilitarian sort, wants to ally with it. Presumably because he doesn't want to wake up to 'Heat of the Moment' every day for the rest of eternity. Dean, having been killed upwards of a thousand times by the damned thing, is understandably skeptical. The boys hear an emergency call over their police scanner and head out to an abandoned warehouse to check it out. They bust through the door and… »

Opinion In A Haystack: The Fourth Kind
5 November 2009 1:50 AM, PST | Quick Stop | See recent Quick Stop news »
Elias Koteas would hate me. No matter how great an actor he is (and he is a great actor) or how accomplished he becomes, it is very hard not to imagine him with a hockey mask and a golf bag. He is like Frosted Mini-Wheats. The adult in me knows the guy has some of the most underrated acting chops ever; the kid in me watches films, such as The Fourth Kind, and screams “Pound their owl faces in with your cricket bat Casey Jones!”
He is so much more then the role of Casey, that still doesn’t erase the fact that he was a childhood hero to some of us. The first truly great “bad ass” delivered to my generation via an excellent kid’s movie. My point is that actors carry the baggage of past roles with them sometimes. That is expected, and fine, but this is why most “normal” mainstream movies, »

Ang Lee May Adapt Life of Pi
3 November 2009 2:48 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
After the box office disappointment of his last movie, Taking Woodstock, director Ang Lee is apparently looking to adapt an award-winning novel from Canada next. Averaging one feature every two years since The Hulk in 2003, Lee said that his next project "is two years ahead," but he told Digital Spy that he has a story in mind.
I think I'm going to do Life of Pi. A little boy adrift at sea with a tiger. It's a hard one to crack.
Written by Yann Martel and originally published in 2001, Life of Pi tells the story of Piscine "Pi" Molitor Patel, a young Indian boy stranded on a boat in the Pacific Ocean with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a Bengal tiger named "Richard Parker." The British edition of Life of Pi won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction the year after its release, and M. Night Shyamalan (The Happening »

Ibm Makes Water Monitoring High-Tech with Splash Portal
2 November 2009 12:30 PM, PST | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
Wondering whether your favorite Irish lake is clean enough to swim in? How about whether the local beach has enough sand to make some serious sandcastles? Ibm and the Environmental Protection Agency (Epa) Ireland can help. The two organizations recently rolled out Splash, a site that reports on weather, water quality, tides, pollution levels, and even lifeguard availability at 130 lakes and beaches in Ireland.
Previously, this information wasn't available to the public until a year after it was gathered. But Splash provides near real-time reports on the status of Ireland's lakes.
If all goes as planned with the Splash portal, Ibm plans to roll it out to 27 other EU countries. Eventually, Ibm might bring the reporting system to a global audience. It will certainly be welcome--as climate change heats up, water quality and levels are becoming increasingly volatile. According to Sharon Nunes, Ibm's VP of Big Green Innovations, "Everything from »

Dancap Gets 'Toxic' For Toronto In Fall 2009
31 October 2009 1:30 AM, PDT | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »

In a surprise announcement, Dancap Productions is planning to present the Canadian Premiere of The Toxic Avenger, an eco-monster musical comedy based on the 1984 Lloyd Kaufman classic cult film. The Canadian production will take place at the 998-seat Music Hall on Danforth Avenue, which is currently undergoing renovations to accommodate the show.
Melvin Ferd the Third wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the on-the-take mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero.
Toxie, is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming and woo the prettiest, blindest librarian in town, in a toxic love story with an environmental twist. »
Ang Lee Confirms His Next Film is 'Life of Pi'
30 October 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Ang Lee hasn't had much mainstream success since he won an Oscar for directing "Brokeback Mountain" a few years back. His follow-up was the hard-to-distribute Nc-17-rated Chinese period romance "Lust, Caution." Then, this past summer he released the much broader "Taking Woodstock," a comic look at a singular true story behind the scenes of the legendary music festival, and it failed to find an audience (I recommend seeing it when it hits DVD on December 15, specifically for Imelda Staunton, who deserves an Oscar already).
Fortunately, Lee's next film will be based on a best-selling novel and could therefore bring him back to the spotlight for the moviegoing masses. He confirmed to Digital Spy that he thinks he's going to do "Life of Pi," which he's adapting from Yann Martel's Booker Prize-winner. Of course, if you're familiar with the source material, you may wonder how on earth it's going to work as a film. »

Ang Lee To Adapt Life Of Pi
30 October 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Back in 2000, Ang Lee was the "it" director. He had already done a couple of well-received American films, but it was his wuxia masterpiece Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon that made him a household name. Then, he nearly destroyed his career with his adaptation of the Incredible Hulk, revitalized his career using gay cowboys, and, most recently, directed the heap of mediocrity that was Taking Woodstock. Needless to say, it's been an up-and-down journey for the Chinese director, but he's not jumping off the horse yet and he is ready for his next feature. Digital Spy is reporting that Ang Lee will adapt Yann Martel's best seller "Life of Pi," though he has yet to bang out all of the details about the project. The book follows a young Indian boy named Piscine who, while sailing to Canada with his zookeeper father, is shipwrecked and stranded on a lifeboat with »

Michael Jackson's longtime friend and trainer, Lou Ferrigno, was one of the many familiar faces that went to the Los Angeles premiere of "Michael Jackson's This Is It." Ferrigno had been training Jackson for the concerts, set to be held at London's O2 arena beginning in July. TV's Incredible Hulk had nothing but accolades for the flick.
"Great movie. I think it was wonderful," he told MTV News after he screened the film at the Nokia Theatre.
Ferrigno and Michael first worked together 15 years before and had maintained a friendship over the years when he came back to train the pop icon for the This Is It shows. "He was so entertaining, »

[DVD Review] Marvel Animation: 6 Film Set
17 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Marvel and DC are both in the middle of a new movie strategy where they release animated films of some of their most popular characters direct to DVD. The two rivals have arguably been doing it for ages if you count the spin-off “movies” from their animated television series, but the last 4 years have seen a leap in activity. Have any of them topped Batman: Mask of the Phantasm? No, not really. However, each of the studios seems to be making huge strides with each successive movie. Marvel, having reached its 6 film marker (DC isn’t far behind at this point), have released them all in a box set. While it’s nice to have an anthology to put on the shelf instead of individual DVD cases, it ends up serving as a reminder of how far the films have come since the original Ultimate Avengers: The Movie back in »

X-Men franchise: Producer talks Magneto, Wolverine 2, Deadpool, First Class
16 October 2009 5:13 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
In an interview in Los Angeles to promote the release of Wolverine on DVD and Blu-ray, producer Lauren Shuler Donner has shed further light on upcoming films in the X-Men franchise.
Although the interview doesn't give us any more detail on the X-Men 4 and New Mutants projects that Donner had previously mentioned, it does talk about Wolverine 2, X-Men Origins: Magneto, X-Men: First Class and Deadpool.
It appears that Magneto is at the back of the queue and may not end up being made, while Wolverine 2 is at the most advanced stage of development and is likely to be filmed in Japan to give an authentic flavour to its story, which will be based on the comic book tales set in the Far East.
Meanwhile, First Class - about the early years of Xavier's School - is envisaged as a potential franchise along the lines of the Harry Potter series. But »
