42 Star Chadwick Boseman Is The Latest Name On Black Panther Shortlist
3 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
These days pretty much any rumor about a Marvel character getting his or her own movie can sound legitimate-- in a world where a gun-wielding raccoon will be trotted out as movie star, anything is possible. But conversation around Marvel's Black Panther has been starting and stopping for years now, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige hinting at it from time to time, but nothing ever moving past the rumor stage. What we have today is still technically just a rumor, and it's one of those maddening shortlist stories that don't always turn into anything real. and yet, it's pretty interesting all the same. Latino Review, who have been following Black Panther news pretty closely, say that 42 star Chadwick Boseman is the latest to join the shortlist of actors in line to play the role, thanks to that modest film's pretty major box office success ($69 million after just 2 weeks in »

Daniel Radcliffe is the process of managing an almost miraculous transition out of child Harry Potter stardom, and we are really, really enjoying getting to watch it happen. After launching a solid hit with The Woman In Black and then wowing Sundance audiences with Kill Your Darlings, he's getting ready to grow up in a new way: facing a villain who might be even scarier than Voldemort. According to Deadline, Radcliffe is now set to star in Tokyo Vice, a thriller based on the true story of Jake Adelstein, an American reporter who became a target of yakuza boss Tadamas Goto, a guy so terrifying he was called the John Gotti of Japan.

37 minutes ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
American Gods will soon descend upon us through the power of HBO. Kind of fitting when you think about it; the God of Media must have smiled at this deal. According to Neil Gaiman's updates, he's working on the pilot and the first two seasons will focus on the beginning few chapters of the book. It is here that we meet Shadow Moon and a number of old and new Gods who will have their parts to play in the grand scheme. Needless to say, it'll be interesting to see how the novel will translate to television, especially with the novel's author being heavily involved. There's more than enough material, especially with Gaiman also working on the book's sequel, and by all reports the work going into the series will no doubt pay off. American Gods was first published in 2001 and is still a timely story about the old vs. »

A Common Man Will Hit Blu-ray And DVD Later This Month
43 minutes ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
On May 21, Anchor Bay Home Entertainment is bringing A Common Man onto Blu-ray and DVD. The film stars actor Ben Kingsley in the role of a man planting five bombs in a large city, threatening to detonate the devices if the government doesn.t release a group of terrorists into the populace. Kingsley doesn.t seem to be a normal terrorist, however. As the title notes, and the trailer explains, he.s just an .ordinary citizen.. Well, at least an ordinary citizen with an agenda. It may not be the best time to release a bomb-based film, but the trailer for the release is a pretty fast-paced, lengthy one, covering the main plot points pretty specifically. The one big mystery seems to be why Kingsley wishes to set the terrorists free in the first place. Throughout his career, Ben Kingsley has taken a variety of roles. Some have won him »

53 minutes ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The last time Kelsey Grammer starred in a big summer action blockbuster he was very much on the heroic side, playing the fuzzy, blue, brilliant Beast in Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand. Now he's ready to give the season another shot, only this time he'll be playing for the other team. Deadline reports that the former Frasier star has been cast as the main human villain in Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers 4. The star, who won a Golden Globe for his performance on the series Boss in 2012, joins a cast that also includes Mark Wahlberg and, as recently revealed at CinemaCon, Stanley Tucci. The site says that Grammer will be playing a character named "Harold Attinger, a counter intelligence guy." How he will fit into the plot is currently unknown, mostly because we don't really know anything about the plot yet - including who the robot bad guy will be. »
Monsters University Photo Features A Very Enthusiastic Mike Wazowski
1 hour ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
School may be out for the summer in June, but classes are in session at Disney next month when Monsters University arrives in theaters. And something tells me, kids and grown-ups alike will be happy to attend classes with Sulley, Mike Wazowski and the rest of their scary pals. Speaking of classes, the latest still from the Monsters Inc. prequel shows Mike and Sulley in school, surrounded by their fellow scaring pupils. In addition to giving us a new look at some of the colorful monsters featured in the Pixar film, the photo (via Pixar's Facebook page) also clues us into what kind of students Mike and Sulley were. Sulley (John Goodman) can be seen in the center, his hands behind his head, his posture relaxed. He's either breezing through college or he's not worried one way or the other. Meanwhile, Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) has a stack of books »
Walking With Dinosaurs Trailer Brings Prehistoric Creatures Back To Life
1 hour ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Watching this UK trailer for Walking With Dinosaurs, which comes to us thanks to MSN, I am left with one question: is this going to be a silent movie? I don't get the impression that the dinosaur characters are going to talk in this one, and the voice over was clearly made just for the trailer, so does that leave the film to just be an experimental silent movie about prehistoric creatures? If so, I'm totally in. The film is based on a BBC series from the late 90s that had the same name, and featured Kenneth Branagh performing narration. The interesting thing about the way it was shot - as you can see above - is that the environments are real and all of the creatures are digital. The show was made to seem like a normal nature documentary - just with digitally created animals. Has anyone else noticed »

'Iron Man 3' (2013) Movie Review
1 hour ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Marvel is off and running with Phase Two of their cinematic universe following the overwhelming success of The Avengers and they aren't looking to reinvent the wheel. Whereas Phase One began with Iron Man, Phase Two safely begins with Iron Man 3 and the charismatic sarcasm and wit of Robert Downey Jr., whose involvement as Tony Stark would appear to be the one constant when it comes to the more successful installments in this franchise of interwoven films. As a result, Iron Man 3 will likely be a huge box office success and hailed as one of the great comic book adaptations of all-time until it's replaced a year later by something even "better". From my perspective, it's decent, but like all the Avengers-related films before it, it feels like an episode in a very expensive network television series where one is just as memorable as the next, if at all. »

Game Review: 'Bioshock Infinite'
1 hour ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
2007’s Bioshock was a once-in-a-lifetime title, a game that revitalized the long-stagnant Fps genre with deeper mechanics and one of the most compelling and original stories ever coded. Ayn Rand-inspired objectivism was folded deftly into an introspective narrative that explored identity, destiny, and free will. It elevated the shooter genre and set the bar to a level that hasn’t been matched since. The sequel was handed off to an internal development studio at 2K (2K Marin, to be exact) and…well, didn’t quite meet expectations. It ran with a seemingly surefire concept (you were a Big Daddy) but it never reached the provocative narrative greatness of its predecessor.
Now, Irrational Games has returned to the Bioshock franchise with Bioshock Infinite, a title that shares many of the thematic elements of its progenitor while setting off in a different direction…literally. The waterlogged utopia of Rapture has been »

Kirk And Scotty Run For It In Chaotic Star Trek Into Darkness Clip
1 hour ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Star Trek Into Darkness, despite the fact that J.J. Abrams really doesn't want you to know anything about it, has been blasting us so hard with marketing materials in the past few weeks that we kind of feel like we've seen the whole thing. In fact, I've written a variation on that last sentence so many times lately that I'm exhausted from talking about how exhausted I am by all this promo. Can we see the damn film already so I can stop telling you guys how ready I am to see the damn film already? At least when we're talking about clips, like the one above that premiered at Yahoo!, there's actual content to talk about-- though here I'm more interested in the snippets of Michael Giacchino's score than yet another scene focusing on the imminent destruction of the Enterprise. But below we've also got a new poster, »

Star Trek Into Darkness

Jj Abrams's follow-up to his 2009 Star Trek film is an astute, if more world-weary, take on the sci-fi legend
• Post your question for Jj Abrams and the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness here
Director Jj Abrams has followed up his sensational 2009 Star Trek reboot with a sparkling 3D sequel.
The core of the earlier film is present and correct: Chris Pine as the unfeasibly handsome junior Kirk; Zachary Quinto as the fringed logician Spock; Zoe Saldana – her status subtly enhanced after her leading role in James Cameron's Avatar – as the lissom Lt Uhuru; Karl Urban as grandstanding medical officer Bones; and Britain's own Simon Pegg as engine-room supremo Scotty, gamely approximating a Scottish accent about half the time.
Abrams also maintains the glistening visuals of his earlier film; Into Darkness is slathered in so much lens flare it looks like a Kylie Minogue video. And the flashes of crackling, »

Memory Garden: 'Doomain' – CD Review
2 hours ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
While usually stamped with the “doom metal” label, the Swedish quintet Memory Garden doesn't always adhere strictly to the conventions of the genre as much as genre-defining bands like their fellow countrymen Candlemass. Not that the title of their sixth studio album will do much to change that distinction, but rest assured the music of Doomain itself isn't a pile of somber dirge cliches; these dudes weave tons of vintage power metal and and progressive metal elements into their sonic tapestry, with more emphasis on tight instrumentation, rich melodic vocals and epic-scale production than thick, somber slabs of lo-fi riffs. Not that it would have been a bad thing to go all dark and murky (I'm a huge fan of the whole dirge/funeral vibe), but Memory Garden's sound is distinctive, melodic and heavy with vintage metal energy – we're talking more Queensrÿche or Dream Theater than Witchfinder General or Pentagram – and that's their hook. »

Ben Kingsley Goes Tribal For First 'Ender's Game' Photo
3 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The curtain on Gavin Hood's "Ender's Game" adaptation has slowly started to pull back, with a handful of photos and a poster to its name. It can now add the first photo of Ben Kingsley's Mazer Rackham to the list, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.
As the mysterious and weathered warrior, Kingsley went deep into his research and embodied the character. Learn what he told EW about his preparation after the jump!
"In the script, which I think is beautifully written, what come across is the authority and mystery," Kingsley said about his character. "There's quite a lot said about him in the story before you see him—by the recruits and by his fellow officers—and that's useful as far as preparations."
Kingsley even spoke with a Maori tribal expert to learn the significance behind the face tattoos. "Every gesture in the tattoo carries family history, family struggles—it's your past, »
