Our weekly round-up of the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Having made way for Disney's marketing blitz on The Avengers these past couple of months, Warner Bros. stepped up the promotional campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in a big way this week, flooding the world wide web with a host of Bat-related goodies. It began with a new theatrical poster, and while this left some fans underwhelmed, the studio more than made amends over the next few days, starting with six character posters showcasing Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), along with a 'secret' Catwoman design that was discovered tucked away on the official website. Of course, this was just the beginning, and soon we had two new TV spots consisting of snippets of previously unseen footage, in addition to a whole raft of images featuring Bruce Wayne / Batman, »

Tarantino’s Django Unchained Fix Before Ridley Scott’s Prometheus?
3 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Just a quick drive-by post for those of you who are going to go watch Ridley Scott’s Prometheus in a couple of weeks (opens June 8th). Stuart Oldham of Variety, via twitter, shared that a source told him that the Prometheus audience may get to witness a teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Django Unchained, a film that’s getting rather good buzz from the preview that was shown at Cannes over the last week (not that that’s completely surprising though Tarantino’s previous film Inglourious Basterds had a bit of a more bumpy ride through the Cannes process and build-up – though eventually kicked a lot of ass on release).

Django Unchained stars Jamie Fox (after Will Smith declined the part), Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson, and is set to hit theaters in December.

Django Unchained Trailer to Debut with Prometheus
17 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Quentin Tarantino was in Cannes this past week to show off a sizzle reel from his upcoming Western Django Unchained. Those lucky enough to have seen it have done nothing but praise it. Most of us, though, still have to wait a while before getting a glimpse of this action yarn starring Jamie Foxx as a former slave trying to retrieve his wife from a ruthless plantation owner.
Apparently, if we are to believe rumors, the wait to see footage from Django Unchained isn't going to be as long as we initially thought. Word around the internet this late Friday afternoon, heading into Memorial Day Weekend is, we will be getting the first trailer on June 8th.
According to various inside sources, the trailer will be debuting in front of 20th Century Fox's Prometheus. There is no connection between the two films, other than that Prometheus is rated R, and »

David Hasselhoff Pissed That Marvel Replaced Him as Nick Fury
20 hours ago | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Before Samuel L Jackson was hired to play Nick Fury in "Iron Man," "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "Captain America" and "The Avengers," David Hasselhoff starred in a 1998 Stan Lee-blessed television movie called "Nick Fury: Agent of Shield." Now, while promoting "Piranha 3Dd," Hasselhoff revealed that he is the "ultimate" Nick Fury. "I didn't see 'The Avengers' yet," he said. "I love Sam Jackson, but you know... my Nick Fury was the organic Nick Fury that was written and discussed with Stan Lee before anyone got in there to change it. Nick Fury was written to be tongue-in-cheek, and he had a cigar in his mouth, he was a tough guy - he was cool." Hasselhoff went on to say that he was a little angry when he found out that another actor was being brought on to play Fury. "Stan Lee said, 'You're the ultimate Nick Fury. »

* I'll kick things off with this hilarious video showing what things would have been like if Darth Vader were played by Samuel L. Jackson. It's wonderful, but Nsfw so be careful.
* Jedi on the road had better watch out for this Order 66 car.
* I can't say exactly why, but this "Cylce is Complete" t-shirt had me cracking up.
* Disney posted this video to give an inside look to their new "Carbon-Freeze Me" experience, where you can get a figure of yourself frozen in carbonite.

David Hasselhoff,"I Was The Ultimate Nick Fury"
25 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Speaking to Movieline Baywatch alum David Hasselhoff, affectionately known as 'The Hoff' reflected on his time under the Nick Fury eyepatch and a few conversations he had with Stan Lee and Avi Arad. Reportedly, Hasselhoff says he earned Lee’s praise for his 1998 portrayal of Fury, in Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was a little "miffed" to learn the character would be portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson--- “I didn’t see The Avengers yet,” Hasselhoff stated while promoting his latest film, Piranha 3Dd. “I love Sam Jackson, but you know… my Nick Fury was the organic Nick Fury that was written and discussed with Stan Lee before anyone got in there to change it [presumable he's referring to the Ultimate Nick Fury].

Luke Kirby Battles Samuel L. Jackson and Romances Michelle Williams
25 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Every actor dreams of playing roles that showcase a wide range, but few have the opportunity Luke Kirby is enjoying. Currently in theaters luring ex-con Samuel L. Jackson back into a life of crime in the action-thriller "The Samaritan," the Canadian actor can also be seen as a sensitive artist romancing a married Michelle Williams in "Take This Waltz," premiering May 25 on Video on Demand prior to a June theatrical release. The roles are so wildly contrasting, it's jarring to realize they're played by the same person.As it turns out, the experiences of making each film were also polar opposites. Kirby describes "The Samaritan" as a "jump on board" situation. He had just read the script when he was asked to fly to Toronto to meet director David Weaver for an audition. Six days later, he found himself on set going head-to-head with Jackson. "It was sudden but very. »

John Malkovich talks to Siri in new iPhone ads
24 May 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Confession: I can’t stand the new batch of iPhone advertisements. Apple spent the better part of a decade dropping zeitgeist-grenade TV commercials. But when it came time to show off audio helpmate Siri, the marketing team decided to fall back on random celebrity pitchmen. The result was Zooey Deschanel and Samuel L. Jackson meandering around identical Ikea households. (Absent from these advertisements: The celebrities’ assistants, a.k.a. “Siri With Limbs.”) I have to admit, though, that I’m a bit tickled by a new pair of advertisements featuring adorable cult weirdo John Malkovich, who speaks to Siri as »

Gary Oldman Will Build 'RoboCop'
24 May 2012 1:14 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Jose Padilha's "RoboCop" occupies a curious spot on our anticipation meter. On one hand, who can say "no" to a remake of the 80s classic directed by the guy behind the badass Brazilian action flicks, "Elite Squad" and "Elite Squad: The Enemy Within"? That premise alone had us interest, but casting Joel Kinnaman had us scratching our heads a bit.
Thankfully, Gary Oldman has come along to make things very clear for us.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the Academy Award-nominated actor is joining the remake, tentatively scheduled to come out next summer. And we can confirm that we're officially on board with the "RoboCop" remake.
Learn more after the jump!
According to the report, Oldman will play Norton, the brilliant scientific mind who saves Officer Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) from the brink of death and creates everyone's favorite cyborg cop.

If Samuel L. Jackson Was Darth Vader
23 May 2012 1:03 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Here's a change to the "Star Wars" universe George Lucas wishes he could take credit for: Motherf*ckin' Darth Motherf*ckin' Jackson ... motherf*cker.
BuzzFeed recently unearthed an awesome YouTube compilation of Darth Vader clips from "Star Wars IV: A New Hope," where Vader's sinister dialogue has been replaced with famous Samuel L. Jackson quotes from "Pulp Fiction," "Jurassic Park" and more.
Jackson played Mace Windu in the prequel "Star Wars" films, and was [Spoiler Alert] killed by Anakin Skywalker in "Revenge of the Sith." However, this video allows us to imagine a galaxy far, far away, where Windu, in a remarkable twist, becomes the Dark Lord.
Not that drastic changes are foreign to the "Star Wars" franchise: Lucas, who created the series, has made numerous alterations to the original movies, from the digitally inserted tacky hologram of Hayden Christensen's Anakin at the end of "Return of the Jedi," to the »

Tim Guinee, who as of late has recurred on The Good Wife, has booked a role on Showtime’s Homeland, TVLine has confirmed.
Details on Guinee’s character, as well as his episode count, thus far are filed as “top secret,” though we’ll remind you that the show was looking to cast Brody’s chief of staff, so perhaps they don’t want to broadcast that the war vet’s run for Congress is a success.
