'Middleton' stars Vera Farmiga, Andy Garcia in a tale of self-discovery and college tour hooky
15 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
How much do you really get to know a college from an official tour? The pervading opinion is not a lot. But in new film Middleton, a campus visit leads two starkly different parents to get to know themselves – and each other – as they wander off from the tour group.
Shot in eastern Washington at Gonzaga University and Washington State University, Middleton had its world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival on Friday night. The film, which takes place all in one day at the titular fictional school, stars Vera Farmiga and Andy Garcia as the parents who meet on the college tour. »

Quicksilver And Scarlet Witch Join The Avengers 2, But What About Iron Man?
16 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
During the world premiere for Iron Man 3, a smiling Joss Whedon confirmed the first draft for The Avengers 2 was completed. Amidst the shrieking fanboy frenzy, he also let slip that a brother-sister act would make their Marvel cinematic debut in the film. Whedon, whose Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. series for Marvel has been picked up by ABC, has since been interviewed by IGN. The interview has confirmed that the rumours are true, and the sibling double act are in his first script.
When asked about their presence in the script, Whedon said:
“You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”

Good Morning, Cannes: Much Ado About Absolutely Everything
17 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Several thousand miles away from the South of France, the Seattle International Film Festival opened this week with Joss Whedon's version of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." But on the Croisette, the motto might as well be "Much Ado About Everything." The opening night film was Baz Luhrmann's ultra-extravagant "The Great Gatsby," about a wealthy pretender who throws ridiculously lavish parties … and it was followed by yep, a ridiculously lavish party. The Un Certain Regard sidebar, typically the province of small art movies, opened with another Hollywood movie about extravagance, Sofia »

The Great Gatsby, Beware Of Mr Baker, Fast And Furious 6: this week's new films

The Great Gatsby | Beware Of Mr Baker | Fast And Furious 6 | The Stoker | The Liability | Rangeelay
The Great Gatsby (12A)
(Baz Luhrmann, 2013, Us) Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki. 143 mins
No one's disputing that Luhrmann can put on a show, but can he tell a story? In a way, F Scott Fitzgerald's 1920s parable is a perfect fit: a study of surfaces and seduction and the hollowness of the wealthy. The hedonism and vulgarity are ravishing to behold and the hand-tinted-photo aesthetic is gorgeous. When the fireworks die down, however, that artificiality works against the romantic tragedy, and the characters are too flat to really stir any great emotions. Maybe that's the point.
Beware Of Mr Baker (15)
(Jay Bulger, 2012, Us) 92 mins
When it comes to great rock bio-doc material, Ginger Baker doesn't disappoint on any front: prodigious talent, eventful career (Cream, Blind Faith and Fela Kuti »

17 May 2013 6:49 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing has been on the festival circuit since September, but no other festival has made ado about the film quite like the Seattle International Film Festival, where Much Ado screened for a crowd of 3,000 on Thursday.
The Shakespeare adaptation – which Whedon shot in a 12-day stealth production at his house during what was supposed to be his post-Avengers vacation – kicked off the festival for its opening night at Seattle’s McCaw Hall in what became a record-breaking event shortly after ticket sales opened. The gala screening and party sold out in six hours on »

Marvel Zombies, Doctor Strange, Iron Man 4 and Punisher All Marvel Phase 3 Possibilities
17 May 2013 6:26 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Marvel's Phase Two is already underway with Iron Man 3 in theaters, and Thor: The Dark World coming this Thanksgiving. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is shooting right now, with Guardians of the Galaxy deep into pre-production and The Avengers 2 screenplay completed. So that means Marvel is of course thinking about their Phase Three plans with only Ant-Man confirmed at this point. What else might be included in this third leg of the Marvel movie legacy?
Kevin Feige recently caught up with Entertainment Weekly, and offered a list of potential titles, with the fact that Doctor Strange is likely to be confirmed next. While we've heard most of these titles batted about the Internet before, one title sticks out like a sore thumb, and that's Marvel Zombies. We haven't really heard this mentioned before in terms of being included as a Marvel Phase Three project.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch Confirmed for The Avengers 2, Will Iron Man Return?
17 May 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
A few weeks ago, Joss Whedon said that he's working to include a brother/sister duo in "The Avengers" sequel. Since the only brother/sister team members in the comics are Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, it was assumed he was talking about those characters. In an interview with IGN, Whedon seemingly confirmed the assumption. "They're interesting to me because they represent the part of the world that wouldn't necessarily agree with The Avengers," he explained. "So they're not there to make things easier. I.m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier." Spoilers Ahead: Whedon went on to speak about the ending of "Iron Man 3" and how that will affect Tony Stark's involvement in "The Avengers 2." He said: "In 'Iron Man 3,' even though he said, 'I.ve changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don't think anybody thinks he doesn't have one anymore. »
The Avengers 2 Production Hints More at Black Panther Presence
17 May 2013 4:21 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
South African film producer Anant Singh, who also serves as the chairman of Cape Town Film Studios, revealed on a local radio program that Marvel Studios has expressed interest in shooting The Avengers 2 in Cape Town, South Africa.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, this may indicate that Black Panther will be a part of this superhero ensemble.
Back in April, actor Morris Chestnut revealed that Black Panther (a.k.a. T'Challa), may be a part of The Avengers 2, although nothing has been confirmed yet by the studio. We also reported last month that the production will take place in London's Pinewood-Shepperton Studios in early 2014. Since the superhero sequel already has a studio lined up to shoot in, it seems possible that they may shoot exteriors in South Africa, which lends more credence to the Black Panther rumors.
T'Challa hails from the fictional African country of Wakanda, »

Whedon on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D and its Connection to Marvel Films
17 May 2013 2:35 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
As you've seen in the trailer for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there is a kind of a connection to Marvel's cinematic universe. It's just not clear how big that connection will be. In a recent interview with TV Fanatic, Joss Whedon talks about the TV series and how it will fit in with the films...
Everything has to push 'character' forward, including action. We don't want 'spectacle' characters, we want some spectacle that addresses character. We always want the two to mix.
We're absolutely on top of all the movies. We never contradict, replicate - we will be flowing in between them, maybe occasionally we'll throw something in that foreshadows [or] echoes but we're very much beholden to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It'll be fun to see what kind of elements and Easter eggs from the films they end up throwing in the series. It will be another element that will keep »

Joss Whedon Confirms Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch For ‘Avengers 2′
17 May 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Earlier this month, Entertainment Weekly got the scoop that Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch would appear in The Avengers 2.
Then, a week ago, Super Hero Hype claimed that Marvel wanted actress Saoirse Ronan for the role of Scarlet Witch.
Now, in an interview with IGN, Joss Whedon has confirmed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Whedon said:
You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with ‘The Avengers’. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.
I think it’s great that Whedon isn’ afraid to go out of his comfort zone and find a way to make things work.
The Saoirse Ronan rumor still hasn’t been confirmed. We’ll have to wait and see.

17 May 2013 12:02 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
After topping box offices around the world, and taking north of $175m. in its opening Us weekend, it very quickly became a question of not if, but when would Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 reach the $1bn. mark?
We’ve been expecting Iron Man 3 to become the latest member of that elusive club for some time now, and its early numbers across the globe confirmed that it was well on its way from the early stages of release. And now, twenty-three days later, it has officially joined the club and passed the threshold.
Black’s Iron Man 3 becomes the sixteenth member of the $1bn. club, joining the ranks most recently added to by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises, and (of course) The Avengers.
The latest blockbuster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe took the second-highest opening of all time in the Us, second »

'Avengers 2': Scarlet Witch And Quicksilver Are 'Not There To Make Things Easier,' Says Whedon
17 May 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
Considering how secrecy pretty much goes hand in hand with Marvel movies, it's still a bit shocking how transparent Joss Whedon and Marvel are being about the expanding ensemble of "The Avengers 2." Whedon casually mentions that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are in the sequel, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige just says, "yeah, pretty much" and shrugs it off, and now Whedon's talking to IGN about their role in the film without any of the usual layers of mystery.
"You know, they had a rough beginning," says Whedon, forgetting to speak in secret code. "They're interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn't necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they're not there to make things easier. I'm not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier."
I guess there's some mystery in that phrase, specifically with the characters' "rough beginning. »
