Thor Writers Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz May Take On Star Trek 3

July 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-trek-into-darkness-imax-posterAfter the success of Star Trek Into Darkness, Paramount is keen to get another movie going as soon as possible. However things are slightly up in the air, as while Zachary Quinto recently suggested it’ll shoot next year with JJ Abrams directing, the helmer is also busy working on Star Trek: Episode VII, which may mean he has to step aside from Star Trek.

At the moment there isn’t even a script, but now Badass Digest reports that screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz are being eyed to write the next movie in the rebooted sci-fi franchise. They’ve previously worked on the likes of Thor and X-Men: First Class, so they should know what they’re doing.

They would replace Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtman, who penned the first two instalments. It may also suggest that if those writers are going, Abrams is probably out too, although his Bad Robot production company will still produce the movie. Indeed Miller and Stentz have history with Bad Robot, producing and writer for Fringe.

Quinto may well be right that Paramount want to shoot next year, so expect to hear more very soon, including whether Abrams will direct or not.

Next Man of Steel Likely Called Batman Vs. Superman, According The The Writer

July 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

man-of-steel-superman-poster-slide
Over the weekend came the exciting news that in summer 2015 Batman and Superman will team up on the big screen for the first time (at least in live-action terms, as they’ll both appear in the upcoming animated The Lego Movie).

However there was no news on what the movie will be called, but writer David S. Goyer has now stepped to give us the likely titles. He said, “So over in Hall H at the Warner Bros. – I guess most people know now – at the end of the Warner Bros. panel, Zack (Snyder) came out and he brought Harry Lennix, who plays General Swanwick in Man of Steel and Harry read a bit from [The Dark Knight Returns]. So the next film we’re making, we’re already in pre-production, comes out in summer of 2015 and we’re actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that’s happening.”

ComicBookMovie.com confirmed that Warner Bros. has registered both BatmanVsSupermanMovie.com, and not SupermanVsBatmanMovie.com.

Henry Cavill will return as Superman, although there’s no news on who will be Batman. Zack Synder will direct with Goyer writing.

First X-Men: Days Of Future Past Posters Mix Xaviers & Magnetos Old & Young

July 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-days-of-future-past-poster1
After its presentation at Comic-Con at the weekend, X-Men: Days Of Future Past has given us another treat with the first two posters for the movie, which mix up Magneto and Professor Xaviers old and young, showing up Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen and James McAvoy.

It’s certainly well done and makes you believe the younger actors really could grow up to be their elders selves in the movie.

In the film, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine travels back a bleak, dystopian future where mutants have been rounded up and are monitored by the robotic sentinels. An older Xavier and Magneto (Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen), send him to the 1970s to convince their younger selves (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) that they must do something to prevent this future from ever happening.

It’s out summer 2014. (Posters via EW)

Quote Of The Day: Ian McKellen Hits On Michael Fassbender At Comic-Con

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ian-mckellen-michael-fassbender
Ian McKellen is always good value for money, and he was on fine for at Comic-Con where he was promoting X-Men: Days Of Future Past, where he took the opportunity to flirt with Michael Fassbender.

McKellen said, “I just want to say it’s great to be back in California. I feel safe here now that you’ve gotten rid of Proposition 8. I’m looking for a husband.”

Turning to Fassbender he added, ”It’s great to meet you, Michael.”

Fassbender took it well, waving back at his 74-year-old potential suitor.

However as they both play the same character in the X-Men movies, wouldn’t that mean McKellen would be marrying himself?

Test and Born This Way Take Major Outfest Gay Film Festival Awards

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

test-posterOutfest, the world’s premier LGBT film festival, has drawn its 2013 edition to a close, handing out its awards to a slew of well-received titles. Top of the bunch were Test, which won the Grand jury award for U.S. dramatic feature, while Born This Way took home the Grand jury award for documentary feature, and It’s All So Quiet won the Grand jury award for international dramatic feature.

Test, directed by Chris Mason Johnson, is described as ‘a poignant, powerful story of friendship and hope in a time of crisis, set in the San Francisco modern dance scene of 1985 in the early years of the AIDS epidemic: when headlines threatened a gay quarantine and when nobody knew for certain how the disease spread.’ Born This Way concentrates on the difficult of gay life in Cameroon, while the Dutch movie It’s All So Quiet focusses on a middle aged farmer, living with his old and bedridden father, as he tries to find truth in life.

Also doing well was Bridegroom, which took home the Audience award for documentary feature. Bridegroom the the documentary that came about after Shane Bitney Crone released a 10-minute Youtube video detailing how he was shut after his boyfriend’s death by his homophobic family. It became a cause celebre and was watched by millions. Linda Bloodworth-Thomason has since turned the sad tale into a feature-length documentary.

We’re also looking forward to seeing Geography Club, which won Audience award for first U.S. dramatic feature, which looks like it should be a lot of fun.

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!

Starring: Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Alison Pill, Dev Patel, Olivia Munn
Director: Various
Running Time: 600 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: July 22nd 2013

Aaron Sorkin’s TV shows are loved by some and loathed by others. While some have adored the likes of Sports Night, The West Wing and Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, others have found them pretentious and too concerned with politics – and more particularly promulgating a left wing philosophy that has had some US conservatives frothing at the mouth.

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.
