Archie Comics’ Gay Pal Kevin Keller Is Getting Married

November 25, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Archie Comics’ gay pal Kevin Keller is getting married.

In a first for mainstream comic books, gay marriage will be the storyline in the January edition of the “Life with Archie” series, as the characters of fictional Riverdale gather for the wedding of Kevin and his partner.

Readers will learn that Kevin meets his future husband, Clay, in a military hospital after being wounded while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

“Kevin followed in his father’s footsteps and is returning to Riverdale as a war hero, but that’s not all — It’s Kevin’s wedding day!” Archie Comics said, in a release.

Kevin was introduced to Archie fans in 2010, becoming the first gay character in the series’ 70 year history.

New Pic From John Carter

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


With Disney’s $200 million gamble, John Carter, due out in March, the studio only has a few months to hype up the movies into a must see event (which at the moment it doesn’t really seem like). To help keep it in people’s mind, a new picture has been released (via EW), featuring Taylor Kitsch’s title character facing off against a giant white ape-type thing. To be honest it all looks a bit Conan meets Star Wars.

Director Andrew Stanton says about the creatures, “No, they’re sort of an oversized gorilla in the books, and they’re kind of ubiquitous. They’re littered everywhere through at least the first several novels. They were always cool, just from a visceral standpoint, [but] they don’t really have a narrative function in the first book. So what we did is we made the White Apes a formidable creature that you kind of hear about throughout the movie, but you never really witness. There’s a subtle sense of anticipation for what these things might be like. Then Michael Kutsche — who did a lot of the designs on [the Johnny Depp movie] Alice in Wonderland – came up with this design on his own, for just their scale. He made them nocturnal, almost like moles — they stopped using their eyes, and just had a heightened sense of smell. We just love that. We needed a scene where Carter was going have to get out of his execution sentence in order to move the story forward, and we thought what better than having to go up against this formidable creature?”

There are plenty of other creatures the film will be bringing us too, and I’d expect Disney will be introducing us to them soon. The problem with the first trailer was that while John Carter is a sci-fi fantasy, there didn’t seems to be much that made the movie special, so showing off the special effects and the whole world of Mars would probably be a good plan.

Star Trek 2 Gets May 2013 Release

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

There’s been a huge amount of interest in exactly when Star Trek 2 might reach our screens, largely because while Paramount was keen to get it into production the moment the first film hit it big at the box office, JJ Abrams and the writers (Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof) have taken their sweet time putting things together.

At one point the studio felt confident enough to set a summer 2012 release date, but it soon became apparent that Abrams simply wasn’t going to be ready to get it in cinemas by then. However now Paramount has resheduled things, and with shooting expected to start in the next few months (many sources say January), a new release date has been set – May 17th, 2013. That’s only confirmed for America so far, but presumably it’ll be the same date over here.

Deadline reports that Paramount was quite to jump in when Sony movied Roland Emmerich’s Singularity off that date. It’s also said that Abrams will be making the movie in 3D, which could certainly be an interesting new look for the space tales.

Michael Apted Taking Over Mavericks

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Normally when a director gets replaced on a project it’s because the studio doesn’t like the direction a film is going or because there have been major disagreements going on. It’s always far more unfortunate when it has to happen due to illness.

Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential) has been shooting Of Men and Mavericks in Northern California, and while it’s scheduled to wrap production early next month, a new director will be at the helm. Michael Apted is filling in for director Curtis Hanson for the last 15 days of principal photography, starting on Monday.

According to Deadline, Hanson recently experienced complications from a heart surgery, which leaves him incapable of finishing the production. It isn’t known if Michael Apted will oversee post-production as well, or when Curtis Hanson is expected to fully recover.

Of Men and Mavericks stars newcomer Jonny Weston as surfing legend Jay Moriarty, who conquered the treacherous Northern California waves known as the ‘Mavericks’. Gerard Butler is Rick ‘Frosty’ Hesson, Moriarty’s mentor, who taught him how to ride the formidable waves. The film is due out next autumn, so hopefully Hanson will recover soon and be able to have plenty of input before it gets to cinemas.

John Lithgow Up For Dog Fight

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Adding John Lithgow to a film’s cast is nearly always a good move, and that’s probably going to bes true of the political comedy Dog Fight, which Variety reports Lithgow has signed up to star in, although no details have been given as to what character he’ll be playing.

The movie is about two political rivals (Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis) who are competing for a Congressional seat in a small North Carolina district. Jason Sudeikis, Sarah Baker, Brian Cox, and Dylan McDermott also star.

Jay Roach is directing Dog Fight from a screenplay by Shawn Harwell and Chris Henchy. Ferrell and Galifianakis are producing alongside Adam McKay. And they’d better start filming soon, as Warner Bros. already has the comedy slated for release on August 10, 2012, ahead of the US election in the autumn.

Lord Of The Rings May be Converted To 3D

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

With Lion King having cleaned up at the box office and 3D version of Phantom Menace and Titanic coming early next year, there’s a lot of interest in Hollywood about whether more cash can indeed be made by taking old classics and adding an extra dimension to them. It’s not too much of a surprise then that producers are eyeing Lord Of The Rings and thinking about turning that 3D, especially with The Hobbit arriving in cinemas at the end of next year.

Now actor Elijah Wood has revealed that the producers LotRare indeed actively talking about converting the entire trilogy into 3D for new theatrical releases. He told Den Of Geek, “I think it would be cool to see. There’s talk of releasing a dimensionalised trilogy eventually. I’m okay with doing post-process 3D, as long as someone takes the time. What I’m upset about is when a movie doesn’t have the budget and the time to devote to it and they’re not fine-tuning the detail of that, because it can look really bad and cheap. But I know that they wouldn’t dimensionalise it unless it was a super meticulous process.”

The actor also made note of his frustration that Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and the prequel trilogy is being converted into 3D before the original trilogy. “I mean, Titanic’s coming out in 3D now, and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, which means we have to wait three movies to get to the fucking good shit, it’s unbelievable, I’m like, we have to wait three years for that? You’re doing Episode I first? [frustrated squeal], what a bummer!”

Elijah Wood also talked about his cameo in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and how he got back into character as Frodo Baggins. “Before we started, I watched Fellowship again, just to remember the way that he spoke. Outside of that it was revisiting something I’d spent the better part of four years playing, and it was just a joy. It felt like a giant family reunion in a way. The weirdest thing was being on set, looking down at my feet and it just feeling oddly normal, like, ‘Here we are, doing another scene at Bag End, 10 years later.'”

November 23, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


On February 10th, Daniel Radcliffe will be proving there’s more to him than Harry Potter, when The Woman In Black is released.

Ken Watanabe Offered Akira

November 23, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago we reported that Gary Oldman had been offered the role of a colonel in the planned live-action version of Akira. Now it appears he’s turned down the part (or at least a deal couldn’t be made) as Twitch reports that Ken Watanabe has been offered the part instead.

The Colonel is essentially the bad guy, who runs a series of government experiments designed to unleash latent paranormal powers that certain people possess. The movie will follow Kaneda as he tries to rescue his friend Tetsuo from those experiments.

Hopefully Watanabe will sign on, as despite the Japanese origins of the manga and anime, so far everyone rumoured for the film – including Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Keira Knightley, Paul Dano, Michael Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter – have been resolutely white.

Watanabe is one of the few Japanese actors who’s known internationally (thanks to the likes of Last Samurai and Inception), so he’d make a welcome addition to the cast.

Jaume Collet-Serra will direct, with shooting rumoured for early next year.

New Prometheus Photos Revealed

November 23, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

We’ve still got over six months to wait until Ridley Scott’s sort-of Alien prequel, Prometheus, hits screens on June 1st, but EW has jumped in early by scoring some of the first images from the movie for their print edition. Luckily though the likes of Bloody Disgusting have scanned those pics and now we can take a look for ourselves.

Everything looks a bit glossier than it did in Alien, suggesting Ridley’s going for a different style this time around, although as the shot of the carved head shows, he’s keeping with some of the production design of the actual alien vessels.

Here’s the rather low-on-info synopsis: ‘Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.’ The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Guy Pearce, and Patrick Wilson.’

Rumours suggest the first trailer will also arrive fairly soon.
