Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to star as the villain in Thor 2 with details on what character still unclear as Tom Hiddleston will still have a big part as the franchise antagonist, Loki. Production on the pic is set to get underway this summer with Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") directing for a November 15, 2013 release. [source] Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) is set to join the cast of Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake as Norton, the scientist who turns Officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) into Robocop and finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation. The film is expected to begin filming in September in Toronto for an August 9, 2013 release.

An official synopsis for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim

24 May 2012 1:39 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Apart from some brief comments a few months back from Idris Elba about giant monsters, Guillermo del Toro's latest project Pacific Rim has been pretty much shrouded in secrecy. However, Warner Bros. has now given us a good idea of the story for the big budget sci-fi epic with the release of the following official synopsis...

From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. »

Pacific Rim Official Synopsis Revealed!

24 May 2012 10:29 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

With so many awesome summer movies headed our way in 2012, it's been a little hard to look to the future without getting lost in the shuffle. Guillermo del Toro has played it smart in keeping mostly quiet on his next project Pacific Rim. Principle photography has wrapped so that Charlie Day can get back to Paddy's Pub and Charlie Hunnam can jump back on his motorcycle, yet we've barely seen any spy pics, or heard any news from the principle cast about their experience.

Today, we get our first real sign that the movie actually exists. The official synopsis. If you had any doubts that this was nothing more than a giant monster movie ode to Godzilla and his ilk, you can squelch that noise right now.

'Pacific Rim' Plot Synopsis Reveals Guillermo Del Toro's Monstrous Plans

24 May 2012 7:27 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

"Pacific Rim" has so many of my favorite things. It's a Guillermo del Toro monster movie. It's a callback to Kaiju and anime culture. It stars actors from three of my all-time favorite shows: Charlie Hunnam of "Sons of Anarchy," Charlie Day of "Always Sunny," and Idris Elba of "The Wire" (bonus points for "Luther"). I do not need to know anything else to guarantee my attendance on opening day.

That said, I won't say no to reading the "Pacific Rim" plot synopsis, which only serves to sell the awesome-sounding movie even further. Check out the full synopsis and Legendary Pictures press release after the jump!

Battleship Movie Review

23 May 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

“Why so serious?”

This iconic question, delivered by the late Heath Ledger in his astonishing inhabitation of The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s smash super-hero epic, The Dark Knight, could aptly be posed to the new breed of “Summer Movies”.

There was once a time, before the days of Ipads, Twitter, and the Dorito-shelled taco, that films released in the summer were synonymous with terms like, “fun”, “cheesy”, and “light-hearted”. They didn’t reinvent the wheel, but they didn’t need to. Yeah sure, the dialogue was pretty corny, and the plot was more often than not ridiculous, and there was also no denying the whole formulaic, rote nature of the affair, but all this was acknowledged at the outset.

In films such as Top Gun, Speed, and Air Force One (just to cite a few examples), you knew you weren’t going to see the boundaries of cinema being pushed, »

Snap Judgments on the New CW Shows

17 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Vulture's TV critic, Matt Zoller Seitz, will be watching and evaluating the early clips and concepts of each of the new shows unveiled at this year's Upfronts. Arrow The gist: DC Comics' Green Arrow comes to television as billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Steven Amiel), who returns home after many years shipwrecked on an island and creates an alter ego to battle crime and his own treacherous, powerful family. Gut reaction: An early clip has an unexpected physicality, with the ripped Amiel doing some quasi-gymnastic stuff and handling the Arrow's bow with casual mastery. But the superhero genre has had a rotten track record recently on TV, Smallville notwithstanding. Thirteen episodes if it's lucky, then adios. Beauty and the Beast The gist: Remember the eighties fairy-tale series starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman? Reboot. Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) is Beauty, a detective scarred by the long-ago murder of her mother. Jay Ryan »

Broadcast Networks Fall Sked: New and Old Genre Offerings, Part III

17 May 2012 2:24 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »

With the broadcast networks done shoring up their fall schedule, let’s take a look at what genre fans (and the gays) have to look forward to:

CBS, the nation’s #1 broadcast network, is once again in a position to offer a few new shows, while continuing offer 47 different, yet the same, procedural cop shows. While some may not consider the CSI and NCIS franchise as science fiction, they do offer a lot of technobabble that really is more futuristic methodology than real science. So it’s more puedso-science mixed with the age-old mysteries that are about as mysterious as a puddle. One intriguing series will be Elementary, CBS’ attempt at emulating the BBC’s updated, modern version of Sherlock Holmes without copying it –to avoid lawsuits, you know. Jonny Lee Miller will play Sherlock Holmes, while Lucy Lui will play Jane Watson (ahhh, so see Steven Moffat and the BBC, »

'Beauty and the Beast': Kristin Kreuk gets saved on The CW this fall

17 May 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Kristin Kreuk is back on The CW in "Beauty and the Beast," her first regular TV role since she left "Smallville."

Kreuk plays Catherine Chandler, a homicide detective who years earlier witnessed the murder of her mother -- which you can in turn witness in the clip above, what we're assuming is something of a prologue in the pilot. The gunmen would have killed her too, were it not for the beast (Jay Ryan of "Terra Nova") who saved her.

In the present, Catherine comes across the beast -- actually a man named Vincent -- again and discovers his secret: "When he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses."

The CW's "Beauty and the Beast," which will air at 9 p.m. Et Thursdays next season, is a loose remake of the 1980s CBS series that starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman, who »
