If you'd like to spend some of next Tuesday night watching 17 minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3D, Disney are running a ballot for tickets right now. To accommodate demand it's not first-come, first-served. As with the US sessions, there's a giveaway poster too. It's happening at the IMAX Empire Leicester Square […]
It looks like X-Men: Apocalypse will pick up where Days of Future Past left off, and that's in ancient Egypt. Bryan Singer shared a photo of the treatment for the new movie, highlighting the start of "sequence 1-15." When it comes to changing a known mutant into a horseman, they could go with Angel, they […]
James Gunn is both a regular collaborator and longtime friend of Michael Rooker and I was delighted to learn, way back when, that Rooker would be playing Yondu in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. We've yet to see the character so far – well, you are, I won't pretend that I didn't see some […]
Andy Serkis has a role in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, probably, and it's probably a motion capture role, probably. Possibly. Variety's reporting of this is muddy at best. Let me cut and paste exactly what they've run and we can talk about what it means afterwards. It's their question and Serkis' answer. You're involved […]
Marvel have announced 150 IMAX preview sessions of Guardians of the Galaxy on July 7th. You won't get to see the whole film, just 17 minutes worth, but it's free and as I said, on July 7th. That's not much over a week away. It's not quite the same as having it beamed into your […]
Had I been the producer, editor and director of this video things would have gone down rather differently. Nonetheless, there's fresh footage from Guardians of the Galaxy here, and that was way more than enough to get my clicking finger busy. Rocket really does seem more appealing every time I see another shot. I found […]
Edgar Ramirez appears in Deliver Us From Evil, the latest picture from Doctor Strange director to-be, Scott Derickson. This means that Ramirez is facing questioning about Doctor Strange. Of course. Actually, though, IGN got lucky. Turns out that Ramirez actually has been talking to Derickson about taking a role in the film. He told them: We're […]
Empire's new issue has two covers, one with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the other with their nemeses. The heroes seem a little more motley than the villains, and that of course, is the point. Where's Thanos? The Collector? Note how the Guardians are a multicoloured bunch while the baddies have a lot less […]
Currently busy cutting his work on The Interceptor, experienced BBC director Farren Blackburn will soon be on the way to Hell's Kitchen. He says so himself. Enjoying The Interceptor edit but so excited to reveal I will be directing an episode of Daredevil next for Marvel in New York!! — Farren Blackburn (@FarrenBlackburn) June 20, […]
The best transcripts out of Kevin Feige's CineEurope presentation come from Total Film. They've got pretty much everything he said, but what concerns us, right now, are his comments on Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. We'll start with Ant-Man. There's been a lot written about the film lately, for obvious reasons, and a lot of questions […]
Marvel have officially announced the casting of Rosario Dawson in their Daredevil series. According to the official statement, she's playing: a dedicated young woman whose quest to heal the wounds of Hell's Kitchen brings Matt Murdock unexpectedly crashing into her life, while her own journey forever alters the course of his battle against the injustices […]
It had been assumed, by myself as well as many others, that Scott Derickson was going to take a pass at the script for Marvel's Doctor Strange himself, now that he's signed on to direct. Maybe he will, or maybe he's too busy promoting Deliver Us From Evil, or maybe Marvel have other ideas. In any […]
Don't be sad, Hulk. According to your alter ego's alter ego, Marvel are "for the first time" entertaining the idea of a solo Hulk movie. You can even see him say so in this video from Digital Spy. For the first time? Really? Or is that code for 'something is solidifying'? We hear talk about […]
Now including shots from an altogether more familiar planet. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CqymRQ1uUU[/youtube] I guess it was inevitable, really, but the Firefly vibe is starting to come through more and more. Definitely not a bad thing.
Just tossed out at the foot of an article about something else entirely, Aint It Cool have said, matter of factly, that the release date for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been pushed back into 2017. Previously, a June 2016 release date was announced for the film. Or… was it? Sony slotted two pictures that […]
There's one big problem with Latino Review's account of "the first 15-20 minutes" of Avengers: Age of Ultron and it's that there's no way on this green Earth Joss Whedon would take a full fifteen minutes to get through such a meagre amount of material. By the sixteen minute mark of his last film – which includes […]
One of the most-repeated aphorisms in writing about Hollywood is that a director – or actor, or whatever – is only as good as their last movie. Typically, this is really means 'as good as their last movies box office.' In either case, Bryan Singer is pretty darn good. But according to Radar Online, Fox […]
This is a very shouty poster, but in my mind, everything is drowned out by the barrage of gunfire. Steady on, boys. Guardians of the Galaxy will now be released in the UK on July 31st, just one day ahead of the US. It looked like both sides of the Atlantic would be getting a […]
I'm not at all surprised by this but, for the sake of crossing Ts and dotting Is, here's the word. Coming Soon asked Phil Lord and Chris Miller if we could expect Marvel superheroes in the next Lego movie. There's certainly enough of them in the Lego toy line. They said… probably not. But maybe. […]
Earlier today, I was tipped off that Marvel would like to speak to Benedict Cumberbatch about Doctor Strange. I've been firing off e-mails and calls trying to find out how real this is. Apparently it's a little bit real, as Deadline are now saying that Cumberbatch, alongside the absurdly over-booked Tom Hardy, are on Marvel's […]
