Admit it, leaked set photos can be really lame. Often blurry and out of focus, band angles and long before the finishing touches that make movie magic happen. Spoilers in the truest definition of the word. What follows is definitely all that and more, and must be shared.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, purported to be taken on the Montreal set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past as found on the Russian fansite/shrine/stalker headquarters, Hughjackmania (careful how you type that URL.) They show Logan in a casual state of mind… like extra casual. Maybe he just ate a big meal? (more…)

A big screen version of Orson Scott Card‘s epic sci-fi novel Ender’s Game has sort of been a bit of a white whale for Hollywood. Decades in on again off again development has had fans wondering if it will ever really happen. Short answer, yes and it looks really expensive. Below is the first teaser trailer for the flick and it just seems to be an endless stream of CGI money shots and Harrison Ford, two things that don’t come cheap. Check it 0ut. (more…)

Well, we saw some early concept art for Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier showing off how Anthony Mackie will look as The Falcon. Yes, they ditched the red and white disco duds for black combat gear… wimps. Want to see how he’ll look in the reals? Well some set photos just hit the net showing of Falcon’s new look, granted he seems to be missing something. Check them out after the jump. (more…)

Ok, this one doesn’t need much set-up, but you may need a handkerchief by the end. While speaking at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment expo this past Saturday Wil Wheaton, everyone’s favorite starship ensign/Twitter star (and actor and writer and all around awesome guy,) was asked by an audience member/new mom to explain why being a nerd is awesome to her newborn baby girl. His response was perfect, amazing, and very heartstrings tugging.

I dare you to find a flaw in his logic!

With the release of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V still months away (damn you September 17th, haul ass… I am sick of all this natural light) they just released a 3-in-one trailer to up the anticipation. This time turning the spotlight on the 3 playable leads in the game. First we have Michael, a Sopranos-esque man in the middle of a midlife crisis, next a  San Andreas style street thug named Franklin, and last but far from least is Trevor, the requisite hillbilly lunatic.

Damn this game looks good.

All three characters lives will intertwine in what looks like a big heist finale. The trailer is light on gameplay footage and mainly relies on cutscenes which is a little disappointing but I am willing to let that slide since the game is still months away. PLUS, it has a lot of Trevor, who has quickly become one of my favorite video game characters ever.

‘Do you want me to get my dick out again?’ HA! Classic Trevor.

Oh yeah, the trailer is a little NSFW due to crazy redneck, and its up after the jump. (more…)

When we last saw the fan favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) Loki pierced his chest with his Loki-pokey-stick™ leaving the Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. to bleed out and die. His death was the moment that finally gelled the Avengers together as a team, gave them something to avenge and almost immediately led to fanboy speculation that the character would return somehow. Well, we know he won’t be The Vision no matter how cool that would have been, in fact we’ve known for awhile that the character will make his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the small screen in the forthcoming ABC TV show Agents Of  S.H.I.E.L.D. How, exactly has been topic of more speculation… UNTIL NOW!

An unidentified source recently revealed to /Film how Gregg’s character beat a terminal case of chest wounditis and if you are cool with having it spoiled, hit the jump. (more…)

Yesterday, via an article from from the Miami Herald, the proverbial bomb was dropped that Michael Bay was apologetic for the arguably appalling Armageddon (alliteration!)  Well as it turns out he was taken out of context and apologizing is for pussies. Bay took to his official websites official forum to make an official statement. Officially:

One press writer has gone too far in reporting false information. He has printed the bare minimum of my statement which in effect have twisted my words and meaning. I’m not in the slightest going to apologize for the third movie in my movie career, a film called Armageddon. On the red carpet for Pain & Gain some reporters asked me what are you apologizing for, and I said what on earth are you talking about?

What I clearly said to the reporter, is I wish I had more time to edit the film, specifcally the the third act. He asked me in effect what would you change if you could in your movies if you could go back. I said, I wish we had a few more weeks in the edit room on Armageddon. And still today Armageddon, is still one of the most shown movies on cable TV. And yes, I’m proud of the movie. Enough said.

Michael

So it was the editing after all? Shame on you Miami Herald reporter who’s name I am to lazy to check the backlink for. Shame for your taking of an obvious link-bait quote like that and letting it run like wildfire across the internet, boosting traffic for yourself and nerd blogs everywhere. Shame.

Now go wash Michael Bay’s Ferrari.

Dan, Dan, Dan… Well, here we go again.

Dan Aykroyd recently spoke with ABC News (the one in Australia oops, move on) about the eternally ethereal Ghostbusters 3 in his eternal quest to talk to anyone that will listen about the project.  What is revealed is more mad ramblings from the vodka salesman (a fine and quality beverage if I may add, I have many skull shaped bottles to prove my love) about how the the third GB movie is still moving forward. In fact he reveals that filming should begin in winter (I’m guessing ‘a’ winter and not ‘next‘ winter.) Wait… last we heard it was going to be a CGI cartoon… it’s back to live action now? I thought the next step was high school musical theater…

Anyhoo, here’s what he had to say about the current status of the ‘movie’ -PLUS a vague hint at the ‘plot’:

“I feel re-encouraged, reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen. I know that we’re expecting half of the screenplay to be completed very soon. It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year. I won’t say anything, it’s very exciting. The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons, that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come through.”

Let me guess… in the third act a giant something-or-other stomps its way through New York? Hey, at least he’s not trying to make a Coneheads sequel. Where is Bill Murray and his paper shredder when you need them?

Before the fanboy flames fire up, let’s remember the movie has been in development hell for decades, cash strapped Sony Pictures has been lukewarm on the project at best, and other than a remake (that no one wants) buzz around the threequel has never been positive. Dan is still the only one that seems interested in the project (save for that ONE offhand reference Ivan Retiman made once.) At this point, the question has become rhetorical, do you really want to see what happens to a beloved cinema classic (the first one that is) this far out?

No Murray, no Ghostbusters 3.

While promoting his latest film, the Jackie Robinson bio pic 42, Harrison Ford stopped by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Now when you have a chance to talk to Han Solo, especially since we are all still hungry for more (and any) news about the upcoming Star Wars movies, you pelt him with any and all questions related to the franchise, right?

Well, Harrison politely stated that he couldn’t and wouldn’t answer any Star Wars related questions leading to some innocuous questions from ‘audience members‘ that just happened to be dressed up as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Then the Nerf poo hit the fans -as the saying goes- when the ‘REAL‘ Chewbacca shows up, revealing that the once space fairing best friends seem to have a long standing feud. You can watch the awkward exchange between the actor and the wookiee below. (more…)

I swear I heard or read somewhere that Pete Holmes said that the last one was the last one, but College Humor has released another Badman/Batman parody and I thank him and them for that. Fresh from Front Page Films comes an all new adventure of the Dork Knight. This time featuring special guest villain, comedian, actor, and occasional comic book writer Patton Oswalt as the Penguin. While Matt McCarthy continues to be unsung highlight of the series with his portrayal as the long suffering Commissioner Gordon, Oswalt’s Oswald Cobblepot (say that 5 times fast) shall now count as the quintessential performance in the role. Step aside Danny DeVito, deepest apologies estate of Burgess Meredith… screw you fancasting of Philip Seymour Hoffman that never happened.

Anyway, it’s funny… and you should watch it, and they should do more of these. I know a dude with a skin condition that would be perfect for Killer Croc… (more…)
