Views: Yet another reason to go to Comic Con -- hot Twilight Men

9 July 2009 1:57 PM, PDT | From doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news

As if there aren't enough reasons to go to Comic-Con, we now get word that all of those hot, hunky vampire dudes from The Twilight Saga are going to be in full attendance at the event.  Jaime Campbell Bower is going to be there, Billy Burke will be in attendance, hot-daddy Peter Facinelli will be there (pending no scheduling conflicts,) emo boy Robert Pattinson is rumored to be heading down to the sunny sands of San Diego for the event and, wonderfully, hottie Jacob Lautner -- who friends have taken to calling "Jacob Hotner" just 'cause there needs to be more truth in naming -- will be bringing his sunny disposition and washboard abs to the weekend's shenanigans.  I can't wait. I can't wait! Tann, you aren't going.

What do you mean I'm not going.  You are staying behind. Running the shop. Keeping the lights on. Mopping the floors. Polishing the server.

Stan Lee will have cameo roles in Venom spin-off and Iron Man 2

7 July 2009 2:52 PM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

Marvel's former president and chairman Stan Lee has a habit of popping up in film adaptations of the company's comic book characters.

And it's now been confirmed that Lee, 86, will have a cameo in the Venom spin-off, which is based on the villain from the Spider-Man comic books and set for release in 2012.

Venom debuted on screen in Spider-Man 3 after an extraterrestrial black goo arrived on Earth in a meteorite and bonded with human host Eddie Brock. In the comics, other people have also merged with the symbiotic life-form.

The spin-off is being written by Zombieland scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese.

Reese told Superhero Hype: "Stan Lee is in it. I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come.

6 July 2009 7:08 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Stan Lee, The Man, The Legend.

If you know anything about comic books then you know the name Stan Lee. He’s the comic geek god who introduced the world to the super famous superheroes Spider-Man, Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Daredevil and Iron Man among others.

Stan is currently 86 years young and in recent years, he’s been included in many of the major Marvel-based films with small cameo roles and now it appears that there’s plenty more coming our way.

 

Some of these appearances include playing Hugh Hefner in Iron Man, playing a dude who gets poisoned from drinking a bottle made in the factory where Edward Norton’s Bruce Banner works in The Incredible Hulk and a guest at Mr. Fantastic’s and the Invisible Woman’s wedding whom the bouncer wouldn’t allow in during the intro scene to the Fantastic Four sequel.

Stan Lee Has ‘Very Specific’ Role In ‘Venom’ Solo Movie, Say Screenwriters

6 July 2009 9:56 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

The “Venom” news has been a little slow as of late, but the previously announced screenwriters are nonetheless hard at work on the super-villain spin-off. In fact, they’ve already begun working on the script and have even worked in a very specific cameo.

In speaking with Superhero Hype, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese revealed that the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee will have a cameo appearance in “Venom,” and that his role is a very particular one.

“Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it,” Reese revealed. “I feel like that’s the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we’re very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let’s hope he’s in many movies to come.”

Lee co-created a vast portion of Marvel’s most famous characters including the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. As a result,

'Venom' Screenwriters Honor Stan Lee

4 July 2009 9:10 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

So much attention has shifted to Spider-Man 4 these days, that it's easy to forget that a 'Venom' spin-off film is still a possibility. And ironically, even though Stan Lee had nothing to do with the villain's creation, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have written a cameo for him in their script nonetheless.

"Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it," Reese told SuperheroHype. "I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come."

While Todd McFarlane holds the opinion that a film based upon a villain likely isn't a good idea, the possibility remains that a 'Venom' movie, properly executed, could do well at the box office. After all, horror films revolve around villains, remain huge...and

Why is Stan Lee in the Venom Spin-off?

4 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news

Even though "Spider-Man 4" is being made, it seems that a "Venom" spin-off is also still a possibility. And while Stan Lee had nothing to do with the creation of the villainous character, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have revealed that they have written a cameo for him anyway. "Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it," Reese told SuperheroHype. "I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come." "Venom" will likely be a big earner, but Todd McFarlane (real creator of the character) believes that a film based on a villain would likely not be very good. "I'm thinking about how they want to make anti-heroes nowadays," he said, citing Halle Berry's disastrous turn in "Catwoman" as an example.

The Pull List Comic Reviews: ‘USA Comics’, ‘Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth’ and ‘Greek Street’

3 July 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

Normally the Pull of the Week comes on the Thursday version of the Pull List but this week we decided to keep you in suspense and make you wait until today. –John

Pull of the Week:

USA Comics #1 – Marvel – $3.99

Score: 8.5

When I was younger, I had never known much about Golden Age comics other than that’s where Batman, Superman, Captain America, Namor and the first Human Torch came from. But with Marvel’s 70th Anniversary, they have made it easier to get acquainted with tons of heroes from their past that seemed to be lost in the annuls of time only to be reprinted or re-imagined these decades later. This story follows German journalist Emil Hansen as he is on a supply train interviewing a Nazi colonel during the early days of World War II.

Their train is attacked and destroyed by the Mighty Destroyer who dives out of

Stan Lee More Than a Cameo in Iron Man 2

1 July 2009 4:26 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

Stan Lee has made an appearance in most of the Marvel movies based on comics he created, but typically they are blink-and-miss cameos such as "Milwaukee Man Drinking from a Bottle" in The Incredible Hulk or "Man Dodging Debris" in Spider-Man 2. Iron Man 2 will see Lee step up his game by playing CNN Host Larry King.

Sources have split on what Lee's scene entails. Lee's scene could have him, as King, interviewing Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) about his new, "black" Iron Man suit. Or, as told to Collider, Lee will be asking Downey Jr. when he will appear on the Larry King show. Perhaps they are both right, which would double the usual Lee screen time.

Iron Man 2's May 7, 2010, will reveal the truth, but until then, enjoy Lee's cameos of old in the video below:

Stan Lee Iron Man 2 Cameo is High Profile

29 June 2009 8:46 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

A Stan Lee cameo in a Marvel film is a surefire bet but what his role might be is open for fun speculation until the beans are spilled. Multiple sources starting with Collider.com are reporting Stan will portray iconic CNN talk show host Larry King in Iron Man 2, a more prominent role than a simple strut past the camera or perch on a bench. Nuke The Fridge expands on Collider's report by suggesting Stan as Larry King will interview Tony Stark on Larry King Live in the film and question him about a new "Black" Iron Man suit. Should be a lot of fun assuming Lee can pull off a good Larry King impression. Nailing King's looks shouldn't be a problem for Lee as by default he is almost a dead ringer. Shave the mustache in the comparison below and voila, instant talk show host.Look for Iron Man 2

Lee plays Larry King

29 June 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | From JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news

One of the most important parts of any Marvel adapted film is the Stan Lee cameo. Lee did, after all, along with Jack Kirby, create just about all of the classic Marvel superheroes. In most, he plays himself as a passerby or wedding crasher but in one or two, he plays an actual character like a lowly security guard. In the upcoming Iron Man 2, it seems he's taking things up a notch by playing, according to the cool peeps at "Collider", none other than immortal talk show host Larry...

Michael Jackson ‘Tribute’ Comic Book Announced

29 June 2009 9:49 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

Despite Michael Jackson’s tragic death, his fans haven’t seen the last of him. The King of Pop’s presence will be felt forever in his music, his videos and even his… comic books?

In October, Michael Jackson will be memorialized in comic book form in “Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop,” a biography comic from Bluewater Productions, the same publisher responsible for the “Female Force” comics and forthcoming “Political Power” books (as well as the “Bo Obama” comic focusing on the U.S. President’s puppy).

“Michael Jackson’s music served as the soundtrack to countless lives… including mine,” said Bluewater president Darren G. Davis about the deceased entertainer. “His influence on our culture has been profound.

“This is a celebration of his life and what he meant to a legion of fans,” Davis continued. “Although the book won’t shy away from some of his personal troubles,

Updated: 'Iron Man 2': Downey Jr. Saves an Extra, Stan Lee's Cameo Revealed

29 June 2009 8:02 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

The following post contains the descriptions of two scenes in Iron Man 2 (possible spoilers), so read on at your own risk ...

In the fictional Iron Man world, Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) helps to save many lives -- but this latest bit of news actually takes place in the real world, and involves the heroics of the actor who plays Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. While shooting a scene involving "a group of people running away from a group of robotic villains," an extra was knocked to the ground by a stuntman in a robot suit. With chaos ensuing during the scene, Downey Jr. was the only one to realize that the man was actually injured as he called for help while on the ground. The actor then jumped into the scene and yelled "Cut! Cut!" while the cameras were still rolling, then stayed with the fallen extra until paramedics arrived.
