When Warner Bros. announced the development of Man of Steel,you prolly noticed a certain name missing from the title. You’d think a movie about Superman, would have “Superman” in the banner, right?
So, why is it not called Superman: Man of Steel? Oddly enough, this question came up in the most recent edition of Empire Magazine‘s podcast with guest David Goyer, screenwriter for Man of Steel.
In response to this great mystery, Goyer said:
“I would say that the marketing began early on in that we decided not to call it Superman, that was very deliberate.
That was Chris [Nolan] and I, Man Of Steel, and Warner Bros. said, ‘Why?’ And we started talking about it, and we said, ‘We want a line of demarcation in the sand between the old and the new.’ We always knew we would be using the Superman glyph or the shield as we call it. But Man Of Steel was also supposed to represent our take, which was he’s a man, but he’s not made of flesh and blood, metaphorically he’s a man of steel. So that was sort of like the whole thing wrapped up in a nutshell.”
I don’t think anyone had any real issue with the new Superman film being titled Man of Steel, but there’s your explanation. They simply named it that way to show off their new direction of the franchise. Understandably so. They gotta distant themselves from that failed Superman Returns flick from a few years back. Works for me.
Man of Steel hits theaters everywhere June 13th, 2013.
Movie fans love posters, it’s what use to give us our first look at movies until the Internet let us peer into Hollywood movies months in advance. Although, that hasn’t stopped studios from doing awesome poster reveals, because today, not one, but two high-profile movies and a mystery film released their new posters for our wandering eyes. Lucky us!
First off, the Superhero movies…
Marvel Entertainment released their new poster for The Wolverine featuring the menacing Silver Samurai, who was revealed in a snippet from last week’s trailer. Then we have Warner Bros. who showed off their shiny new Man of Steel banner featuring Supes in space.
Both of these posters are pretty cool and show off both companies clever production value, but the Man of Steel posters has been drawing comparisons to Superman Returns. Seeing as the studio is looking to bring new life into the franchise, they probably should have steered away from Warner Bros. most recent black eye in comic book adaptations.
On the other side of things, Edgar Wright debuted the third and fourth posters to The World’s End, the big finale of his “Three Flavors Cornetto” trilogy. With very little to go on, other than knowing it’s based in science-fiction, Edgar has kept everyone in the dark. Until the official teaser trailer come out on Wednesday, these posters, both from the UK, only add to the mystery of what the hell is going on?
Who’s ready for some awesome cosplay? Before you answer “I am” and realize you are talking to your monitor again lets move on to this weeks Sexy Cosplay of the Week with cool Canuck* Dezi-Desire.

With all the visuals going into Warner Bros. Man of Steelyou would almost forget that it’s filled with very talented actors. One actor in particular, leading man Henry Cavill, has been receiving a sea of praise as the new Superman, but did you know he almost missed his chance thanks to World of Warcraft?
Principle photography for Amazing Spider-Man 2 continues to roll in New York City. Recently, onlookers saw their first look at Jamie Foxx‘s Max Dillon and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man sharing their first publicly filmed scene. Naturally, everyone started getting pictures and video on their cell phones.
While the film crew continued to work with Andrew and Jamie in front of the Hearst Building, filling in as the fictional Oscorp Industries, those around them were busy posting everything they saw to social media. By the look of the flipped car and setting, it looks Spidey saves Max (pre-transformation to Electro) from getting hit by a car.
Meanwhile the people over at celebuzz were able to get a bit closer to the Columbia Pictures set, getting the finer details of Andrew and Jamie rehearsing and shooting their scene together. They nabbed a better look at the new and improved Spider-Man costume. Which, sticks closer to the comic book iteration we all know, and honestly the best representation of the suit seen so far. Jamie Foxx on the other hand, well, I’m getting a Jim Carrey as Edward Nigma from Batman Forever vibe. Not good. Anyway, check out the image gallery below: (more…)
Every week we provide your young minds with the best entertainment the Internet can provide, but on Friday it’s all about the Sexy Cosplay of the Week. So let’s skip the pleasantries and get done to business with America’s angel, Callie Cosplay.
In keeping with other American cosplayers we’ve featured recently, this Florida resident certainly brings both the cosplay and the sexy. Looking stunningly similar to Kat Dennings, Callie has been bringing the fellas to their knees with every new costume she debuts. With her super hero obsession and ability to make every costume her own, this fighter knows how to keep on going. I say fighter, because she’s been struggling with health issues for years. Regardless, Callie continues to maintain several jobs and her fan base.
This fiery costume maker has rocked the best of both Marvel and DC; with cosplays of Mary Jane Watson, Black Cat, Wonder Woman and Supergirl. All of which are in the image gallery below. Check em’ out. (more…)
A little while back, we brought you the rumor that the Studio Ghibli feature Kiki’s Delivery Servicewas being made into a live-action film, with Japanese horror director Takashi Shimizu on board to direct. Original details were sketchy, but with the announcement made today, brought to us by Japanverse, the rumors are now confirmed.
Takashi Shimizu will direct a live-action Kiki’s Delivery Service, but Studio Ghibli will not be involved in the production. When asked of their possible involvement, the production company denied any involvement in the live action film slated for Spring 2014.
Kiki’s Delivery Service will be based on the first two volumes in the series Majo no Takkyūbin, both written by Eiko Kadono and later adapted into the animated movie from Hayao Miyazaki. Kind of a let down, but it’s unlikely that any studio would license their concepts to be used in a film they have absolutely no involvement in.
Don’t fret, Studio Ghibli has it’s own live action short in the works. You can look forward to giant robot action, and this one is actually produced by Studio Ghibli.
Originally played in theaters along with Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, the nine minute short Giant God Warrior Appears inTokyo, is actually the studio’s first live-action effort. Featuring a monster design by Miyazaki (seen above) the short has been pulled due to a copyright claim by the studio, so watch it while you thanks to our friends at Dread Central before it’s too late.
“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo) is a short Tokusatsu movie created as a promotional video for the “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Exhibition” at “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Museum”, which has Anno Hideaki (Eva’s director) as museum director, in Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The movie was proposed to be shown with “Evangelion 3.0” by Suzuki Toshio and Anno Hideaki agreed with that. As a movie version, its pictures and sounds will we re-modified and it has the total length of 10:07 minutes. The movie features “Kyoshinhei” (Giant God Warriors) from “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” and it was made to show the fascination and the fun of Miniature Tokusatsu.”
At least we know what a can be done with the studio’s help, just think of what they can do if they were to do a live-action film.
