Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson Marries Justin Mikita

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jesse-tyler-ferguson-justin-mikitaOver the weekend, Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson married his beau, Justin Mikita, in a ceremony in New York attended by over 200 people. The couple, who’d been dating for over two years, announced their engagement last September and have now officially tied the knot.

Pulitzer Prize winning writer Tony Kushner (Angels in America, Lincoln) officiated, with the likes of Modern Family co-stars Julie Bowen, Ty Burell and Eric Stonestreet attending. Also at the ceremony were celebs such as Jerry O’ Connell, Rebecca Romijn, Zachary Quinto and Cat Deely.

Back in March Feguson explained why they were planning the wedding in New York, saying “We wanted to get married in New York, because that’s where it’s legal, so we want to support the state that’s in support of us.”

While we have to admit we’d have preferred it if Ferguson had married Eric Stonestreet – as we don’t think Mitchell should be with anyone but Cam – we’re slowly coming to terms with the fact Stonestreet is actually straight in real life. So good luck to Jesse and Justin, we wish them well!

New Posters: How To Train Your Dragon 2 & Sullivan Stapleton In 300: Rise Of An Empire

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

how-to-train-dragon-2-poster1Comic-Con has seen a slew of posters released, although we’re now coming to an end of those with the release of a rather cool poster for How To Train Your Dragon 2, and one for 300: Rise Of An Empire, featuring the lead character played by Sullivan Stapleton.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 ‘brings back the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years later. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.’

As you can see, Hiccup’s a bit more grown up in this one. It’ll in in cinemas June 2014.

300: Rise Of An Empire meanwhile sees Sullivan Stapleton as Themistokles, who tries to unite all of Greece in battle against the massive Persian army lead by Xerxes and the cunning Artemisia (Eva Green). It’s out March 2014.

Caesar Is Not Looking Happy In The First Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Pic

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-pic1While all the Comic-Con attention has been on Marvel, DC and X-Men, the likes of Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes also tried to make their presence felt. The first image from the movie has now been released, showing us Caesar looking rather moody, surrounded by other super-intelligent simians.

In the sequel, which is set several years after the first film, a growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

Caesar realises that while he may be the first and the nominal leader, keeping control of his fellow apes isn’t going to be easy.

Andy Serkis, celebrated for his performance in the last film, reprises his role as Caesar. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes also stars Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo and Judy Greer.

Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In) directs, with a May 23rd, 2014 release already set.

Two New Edge Of Tomorrow Posters Debut Show Off Tom Cruise & Emily Blunt

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

edge-of-tomorrow-poster2The first footage from Edge Of Tomorrow (previously known as All You Need Is Kill) screened at Comic-Con over the weekend, and unfortunately while we don’t have that, we do have two new posters from the movie, showing us Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt in the movie. Take a look at them above and below.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘The epic action of Edge of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.

‘Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.

‘But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.’

It’s due out June 2014.

Ultron To Get A New Origin In Avengers 2 – Plus, watch the entire Marvel Comic-Con panel

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-2-logoWhen it was announced on Saturday that the Avengers sequel will be called Avengers: Age Of Ultron, many wondered if that meant Henry Pym, aka Ant-Man, would pop up in the movie, being introduced in that film before he gets his own Edgar Wright adventure later the same year.

The reason for that is that in the comics, Pym created the villainous Ultron, an artificial intelligence determined to wipe out humanity.

However now Joss Whedon has cleared things up, saying we probably won’t meet Ant-Man until his own film, and Ultron will get a brand new origin story. Whedon told MovieWeb, “Well, because there was a book called ‘Age of Ultron’ quite recently, a lot of people have assumed that is what we’re doing, but that is not the case. We’re doing our own version of the origin story for Ultron. In the origin story, there was Hank Pym, so a lot of people assumed that he will be in the mix. He’s not. We’re basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside.”

He added, “We’re crafting our own version of it where his origin comes more directly from The Avengers we already know about. It’s a little bit darker than the other film because Ultron is in the house. There’s a science fiction theme that wasn’t there in the other one. Ultron is definitely something that evolves, so we’re going to get together a couple of different iterations. Nothing can be translated exactly as it was from the comics; particularly Ultron.”

That’s led to speculation that Tony Stark inadvertently creates Ultron, perhaps as an accidental offshoot of his technological advances – or perhaps Jarvis (Paul Bettany) gets corrupted and turns evil. There’s also speculation that with Vin Diesel hinting that he’s joining the Marvel family, he will voice the villain.

Whedon also says the film will be told on an even bigger scale. “It’s very much a global Avengers film,” he says. “A lot of the movie has to do with their place not just in America, but the world. Part of the fun for me, definitely this time around, is writing Hawkeye. He did get possessed pretty early by a bad guy and had to walk around all scowly for most of the movie so now it’s nice to actually have the character there and see him interact with the other guys.”

The entire Marvel Comic-Con panel has also popped up online, including info on Thor 2, Captain America 2, Avengers 2 and Guardians Of The Galaxy – as well as Loki making an appearance in front of the pitiful humans in San Diego. You can watch that below.

The Conjuring Tops The US Box Office, With Turbo & RIPD Faltering

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

conjuring-posterLast week a sequel to The Conjuring was announced, which suggested Warner Bros had an inkling it would do well. They were right, as the James Wan directed horror movie, which cost just $20 million to make, grossed $41 million in its first three days in cinemas to top the US box office.

It’s the top opening ever for an original R-rated horror movie, and more than the far pricier Pacific Rim took in its first weekend last week.

All the other new openers cost a lot more to make, but none of them made much of a dent in the box office. DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo took the number three spot with $21.5 million and $31.2 million since it opened last Wednesday. The company will be hoping that good word of mouth will help keep the gross up over the coming weeks, but it’s not an amazing start, especially as it opened behind the third weekend of Despicable Me 3.

Indeed it was a bad weekend for Ryan Reynolds all round, as not only does he voice the title character in Turbo, but he also stars in R.I.P.D., which became the summer’s latest big budget bomb, grossing a paltry $12 million in its first weekend. As it cost $130 million to make, it’s going to end up losing an awful lot of cash.

R.I.P.D. placed seventh on the chart, and while Red 2 did a little better than that, with a fifth place finish and an $18.5 million gross it still didn’t have a lot to cheer. That’s lower than the $21 million the first film opened to. That earlier film became a word of mouth hit, which should have ensured a good opening gross for a sequel, but it seem audiences simply aren’t interested.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of July 19th-21st.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Conjuring $41.5 $41.5
2 Despicable Me 2 $25.0 $276.1
3 Turbo $21.5 $31.2
4 Grown Ups 2 $20.0 $79.5
5 Red 2 $18.5 $18.5
6 Pacific Rim $15.9 $68.2
7 R.I.P.D. $12.7 $12.7
8 The Heat $9.3 $129.2
9 World War Z $5.2 $186.9
10 Monsters University $5.0 $248.9

Take A Look At Andrew Garfield Doing His Comic-Con Panel In Character As Spider-man

July 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Andrew Garfield won over Comic-Con a couple of years ago when he showed up wearing a child-like Spider-man costume and talked about how much the character means to him. It seems he still absolutely loves what he’s doing – which has made him plenty of fans in the comic book community – as for The Amazing Spider-man 2’s Comic-Con panel this year, he did the first part in costume and character as Spidey himself.

Before he took to the stage, attendees saw footage where security wouldn’t allows him into the hall, saying “There are 10 more of you inside!” However he managed to get to the panel anyway, in costume, and kept his American accent up to be part of the event.

Garfield later returned as himself, but take a look at Spidey at Comic-Con below. [Read more…]

Veronica Mars Movie Trailer – Take your first look at the TV character’s big screen adventure

July 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Veronica Mars was never that popular on TV when it ran from 2004-2007, but those who liked it absolutely loved it, which resulted in a Kickstarter campaign to get a movie version made getting over 900,000 backers. That resulted in a quick greenlight and soon Kristen Bell and co. were on the set making the film.

Now they’ve used Comic-Con to reveal the first trailer for the film, and fans will be pleased to hear it’s a long one.

The promo is certainly fan-bait, showing this will retain the show of the TV show, while opening things up a bit, and offering interviews with the cast and crew to help those who don’t know the series, which follows the titular character, a young woman who becomes a bit of a private eye.

It’ll hit cinemas in 2014.

New The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer – Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson head back to the arena

July 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


As expected, a new trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was unveiled at Comic-Con, which was then immediately placed online so we can all take a look. It certainly looks dramatic, with rebellion fermenting in the districts and the Capitol trying to quell that by putting former champions back in the arena – including Katniss and Peeta.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.’

The film’s due out November 22nd. [Read more…]

New Guardians Of The Galaxy Art & Revamped Logo Revealed

July 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guardians-of-the-galaxy-comic-con-logo-newOne of the surprises of the Marvel Comic-Con panel was the entire cast of Guardian Of The Galaxy coming on stage. It was particularly unexpected as the film has just started shooting in the UK, so Marvel had to get them on a flight to San Diego on Friday evening, put them on stage and then fly them back Saturday night.

Also revealed was a revamped logo and a new piece of concept art for the movie, which you can see above and below.

There was also a bit of footage shown off, including the first look at the CGI Rocket Racoon. Those attending suggest the footage had a more irreverent tone than other Marvel movies, with Chris Prat giving the camera the finger at one point. It was all rather unfinished though (unsurprising considering it’s been shooting for such as short time), but it got the thumbs up from the audience.

Guardians Of The Galaxy hits cinemas summer 2014.
