The painter, who previously did work on the Winnie the Pooh/Star Wars paintings has done a series of incredible paints featuring Doctor Who‘s  9th, 10th and 11th doctors.

Live action movies based on video games have never had a solid history in Hollywood, even with all the fan hype and promotion, most end up floundering at the box office and then go straight into the discount movie bin. On the other hand, animated movies based on video games have done quite well. Just look at Disney‘s latest success with Wreck-It Ralph.

Variety reports that Insomniac Games decade old franchise Ratchet & Clank is being adapted for it’s first feature-length film. Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment are behind the production.  Directed by Jericca Cleland and written by TJ Fixman, who gamers will recognize as Ratchet & Clank‘s senior writer, the film is slated for an early 2015 release date. Development is already started in the right direction, with the studio releasing an announcement video featuring voice actors James A. Taylor, David Kaye and Jim Ward, who reprise their roles from the franchise. Finally, a studio knows what people want to see and hear.

Check it out below.

Founder and CEO of Insomniac, Ted Price said:

“We’ve always thought Ratchet and Clank would be a fantastic all-ages movie and are thrilled our intergalactic heroes  will finally get their chance to shine on the big screen, Insomniac is especially, honored to play a hands-on role with the film’s production, including the  screenplay, consulting on character development and animation, and adding support to the film’s marketing.”

The only real worry is Rainmaker Entertainment, who’s first actual theatrical release was last year’s Planet 51 rip off Escape from Planet Earth, but that accounts for experience…..right? Should we all be worried about this or is Ratchet & Clank in good hands?

As filming continues on Marc Webb‘s Amazing Spider-man 2, the first official images from filming have made their way out from Columbia Pictures. With people having already seen Jamie Foxx‘s Electro, with his blue skin and bald head, Webb decided it was time to show off the powerless scientist Max Dillon with the caption “Day 52. My name is Max.” A far cry from the Navi-skinned person we saw previously, Foxx is much more nerd than Peter Parker ever looked.

Check out the first look after the jump.

A lot of people have been disapproving of Foxx’s look, but they must realize this is a movie and there are make-up departments that specialize in making someone look different. Jamie himself has described Max as a “nobody” so it fits his character has to look the part. You can’t expect him to be all groomed and professional like Harry Osborn, after all. Speaking of which, not long after Webb tweeted his picture Dane DeHaan released a first look at this franchise’s Harry and thankfully he’s no James Franco.

Dane certainly looks like someone who’s the successor of Oscorp and if you’ve seen Chronicle you know how evil he can be on screen. He might finally be the Harry Osborn we’ve wanted for a long time. Now we just need to see Paul Giamatti and we’re all set.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Paul Giamatti, Colm Feore, Chris Cooper, Sally Field, and Felicity Jones is slated for theaters May 2nd, 2014.

We’ve been bringing up The Crow remake on and off for the last few years. The last time we mentioned anything, it looked far from promising, even for a remake. Bradley Cooper had left the project and Relativity Media was eying Mark Wahlberg, Channing Tatum and Trance star James McAvoy  to replace him for the lead. All of whom passed. If not one of the pieces of male eye candy was interested, then it’s a sure sign this project is a real stinker. Or… is it?  Now, a certain trickster of the gods is in talks to play forlorn anti-hero Eric Draven…and it could change everything.

Tom Hiddleston, known for his role as Thor and Avengers villain Loki, is in early talks to take over the role star Brandon Lee tragically made famous nearly two decades ago. You hear that? That’s the sound of a million fan-girls collectively losing their shit!

According to The Wrap, who first made the announcement, Tom was said to have had dinner with the producers including Ed Pressman, Kevin Misher, and Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh and Jeff Most who were impressed with Hiddleston’s range as an actor and performer. Not only that, Tom is also said to have submitted his own makeup test that he did on his own in London.

A major name like Hiddleston attached to the project would bring in not only fans of the James O’Barr comic book series, but the score of Avengers fans that seemingly follow the actor’s every move. Fingers crossed ladies.

The Crow is scheduled to star shooting this fall with no word on when it is slated for theaters.

Director James Gunn has been on a roll with the pre-production of Guardians of the Galaxy in recent weeks, most recently casting former Walking Dead star Michael Rooker. There are still some more shoes to be filled, but there isn’t too much time left to round out the cast seeing as how shooting starts in June. In a way he’s literally under the “Gunn” on this one.

All bad puns aside, the director of Marvel‘s “standalone film” took a breather and attended the UK premier of another Marvel franchise, Iron Man 3, in London, England, which is, coincidentally, the same location of Shepperton Studios where James is currently preparing to film. While there between the red carpet and the theater, Gunn took time to have a chat with HeyUGuys. He addressed comparisons to Star Wars, casting choices and how Guardians is different than the other Marvel films. As usual, James answers everything in his own special little way.

Read on after the jump for more.

We’ve loved seeing the awesome viral marketing and trailers that Warner Bros. has been releasing for Man of Steel, we also loved it when they released a slew of new images. The marketing team for the director Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel recently released a series of high resolution images from the set, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.

Most of these have already been seen, but at least there’s a first look at actress Antje Traue as Faora in her full Kryptonian costume. Even though Antje looks physically intimidating as the follower of Zod, her armor isn’t as heavily built as those already seen worn by Michael Shannon and Russell Crowe. It looks like something out of Skyrim honestly, but if you’re looking for a computer background now’s your chance Superman fans.

Check out all the high-definition images in the gallery after the jump.
