Thursday Update


Ok. So we’re a little behind the rest of the internetz and you have most probably have seen it anyways, but here is the new picture from The Dark Night Rises:

Excellent!!

Yes it’s the first picture of Tom Hardy as Bane, and it looks INCREDIBLE, I am now stoked to see what Catwoman is going to look like in what seems to be a massive re-vamp of things!

Next on the list… There is a new Transformers trailer:

Mmmm, taste that cheesy summer blockbuster goodness. Yes, I know its uncool, but I think as a switch your brain off set of movies the Transformers updates are not too bad, especially as they seem to get bigger and better each time (note: Dumber and dumber too!)

There are two images for David E. Ellis’ ‘Shark Night 3D’ (The guy that did the original Final Destination & Snakes on a Plane) and it looks like he is doing what he does bad, switch-your-brain-off-horror by the looks of these two pics:

Just swimming along, happy as larry, WHEN SUDDENLY...

How do you get yourself in this situation in the first place?

As well as all this a whole brand new Green Lantern trailer just got released:

It’s all cool & shiney & new, with quite a bit of new footage in it! Enjoy!

Take care guys!


The Dark Knight Rises and Blade Runner


Attention Cadets!

We have a new article for you to feast your eyes upon! We picked our 15 most anticipated films of 2011! All original! No comic book movies, no sequels, no remakes! Check it out!!

Now, on to some exciting news!

Gaming fans rejoice, Devil May Cry is due for a big screen release, being wrote by the guy who scripted Kane & Lynch, who knows how this will go, everyone knows that there is no such thing as a good game adaptation, and this one has less of a chance because its being made by Sony’s Screen Gems, the people that ruined Resident Evil.

Who will replace me?

Alcon Entertainment is currently bidding for the rights to ‘Blade Runner’ in the hopes of making a prequel and a sequel to the 1982 excellent film starring Harrison Ford, with current owner of the rights Bud Yorkin said to be producing. a statement issued says:

“We are honoured and excited to be in business with Bud Yorkin,” said Johnson and Kosove in a statement picked up by Deadline. “This is a major acquisition for our company, and a personal favourite film for both of us.”

“We recognise the responsibility we have to do justice to the memory of the original with any prequel or sequel we produce,” the statement added. “We have long-term goals for the franchise, and are exploring multi-platform concepts, not just limiting ourselves to one medium only.”

So the question is, who is going to play Rick Deckard???

Also, ***SPOILER ALERT***

SPOILER

 

news has been leaked of The Dark Knight Rising’s plot BEFORE FILMING HAS EVEN BEGUN!!

According to Badass Digest.com it will center around Batman taking on the League of Shadows, an evil organization headed by villainess Talia al Ghul – reportedly played by Eva Green, with Bane being a possible love interest as well as muscle. While Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a villain associated with the organization too. Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman who will team up with Batman to take the organization down

These details have been confirmed to be true, with Batman-On-Film, posting on its Facebook page: “Some TDKR details have leaked. I know that they are true because I’ve known about it for a few weeks now.”

The league of shadows is from the 2005 film Batman Begins, Led by Liam Neeson, who is Eva Green’s characters father.

***SPOILER ALERT***


2011 is going to be HUGE


Yes Cats you heard it! 2011 is going to be HUGE!! with so much news about, even at the start of the year, Sorry we have been so lax lately, but we all have other commitments, but I shall aspire to keep this place going and updated!!

On with the news that I know you hungry cats want!

This is old now, but here it is anyways: NEW SPIDERMAN!! (the reboot calling him ‘Spider-Man BTW)

Look at how awesome I am!!

Andrew Garfield of ‘The Social Network’ fame is now playing Spider-man in the reboot directed by Marc Webb, centering around Peter Parker in his high school years and learning to deal with his powers there, there is speculation on the internet whether they will go with ‘natural’ webbing or ‘mechanical’ webbing, it all depends on which version of the comic/cartoon you like I suppose, each to their own.

Here’s what he looks like in his costume:

Did I mention that I also run a million dollar company?

Moving swiftly on, but keeping with the comic book vein (none of those high brow movies here!) The first pictures of Captain America have been released, and look, AWESOME!

We are obviously beginning with a backstory starting (as it bloody well should!) in WW2, here he is:

Chris Evans as Captain America

The official title is: Captain America: the first avenger, and will probably tie in (as hinted in Iron Man 2) with Joss Whedons up & coming Avengers movie.

There are also more pictures of Thor floating about, but y’know what? go find them yourself!

Yes, any excuse to put this in…. 😉

Now the other MASSIVE news is this: Nolan (finally) after MONTHS of internet speculation (David Tennant, Johnny Depp as the Riddler, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin, Angelina Jolie as Catwoman) but we where ALL wrong (too many caps? too much coffee!) and who has been cast? Well, sceptically Anne Hathaway is to play Selina Kyle (Check IMDB, no mention of ‘Catwoman’, just Selina so I don’t know) and in a absolute genius piece of casting Tom Hardy is due to be ‘Bane’ (Tom Hardy played Charles Bronson incredibly well, in the movie adaptation of the British criminals life read my review here)

Still ‘that girl from all those Romcoms’…?

Oooh! very scary!

For those (and there are plenty) complaining about these castings I say: Trust! Believe, there was fear when ledger was announced as joker, but look how that turned out! I think that Hardy is excellent, and Hathaway has the potential! We shall see!

Final piece of news now, It was announced last night (I believe) the new Mortal Kombat movie (based upon the short we shew you ages ago) is NOT going ahead, as it was rejected from almost every studio!! FOOLS! but instead to keep fans sated, a mini series will be made, and put on the internet, hopefully a studio or network, or someone picks it up, and then…THIS appeared…What does it mean?? Strange eh?

Here is that AWESOME short again, directed by Kevin Tancharoen
