Ridiculously Explosive Minute-Long TV Spot for The Expendables 2

31 May 2012 1:47 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

At this point calling “The Expendables 2″ ridiculous is a little like saying the sun is hot. I mean, that’s the whole point of the franchise, right? Why else would they be tossing in “Terminator” jokes in scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger? It’s like Stallone got all his buddies together and just decided to make a movie, scripts and story be damn. Oh, I’m sure there’s a story in here somewhere (or something story-ish), but let’s face it, that’s not exactly the priority, is it? Anyhoo, something something something happens, Jean-Claude Van Damme does something bad, and the Expendables gang up and join forces with Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to kill lots and lots of people. Have fun! Also starring Jason Statham, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Nan Yu, Liam Hemsworth, and Scott Adkins. »

Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #6: Namor

25 May 2012 5:23 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

With a sequel to The Avengers officially confirmed by Marvel/Disney, comic book fans the world over will be contemplating which of the publisher’s other heroes could be added to the line-up, potentially getting their own solo movie as soon as 2014 – filling the popularly acknowledged gap in the schedule alongside Captain America 2 that summer.

Of course, we have to bear in mind that Marvel Studios do not own the film rights to characters as key to their comic book universe as Daredevil, Spider-Man, Wolverine or the Fantastic Four – all of whom have allied with or become members of the Avengers at one time or another – but with that consideration in place, here is another suggestion for Marvel’s Next Avengers Film:

Namor the Sub-Mariner (Namor McKenzie)

Why?: Often depicted shouting his battle cry “imperious rex”, Namor the Sub-Mariner – and so-called “first mutant”* – is  the son of an »

Terminator Wanted Poster: FBI 'Searching' For Arnold Schwarzenegger Character

22 May 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

In hilariously asynchronous movie news, the FBI is currently searching for "The Terminator" -- at least according to a fake Wanted poster taped to the side of a poll in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The photo, which depicts Arnold Schwarzenegger dressed as his most famous character, was recently spotted by Instagram user mrgilly. The flyer details a brown-haired, brown-eyed man wanted on multiple counts of homicide and desperately searching for a "Sarah Connor." (I guess no one told him the "Sarah Connor Chronicles" was canceled three years ago?) The original "Terminator," which was released in 1984, marked Ah-nuld's first turn as the infamous time-traveling assassin. The movie was followed by the highly successful "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," in 1991, and the 2003 sequel "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines." (The fourth film, "Terminator Salvation," which starred Christian Bale and a naked Arnold Schwarzengger body double, was released in 2009, the same year »

Weekend Box Office: 'Battleship' & 'The Dictator' Flop Hard As 'The Avengers' Continues To Dominate

20 May 2012 10:12 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Disney sure picked the right time to get in on that Marvel action. After the first Marvel films proved to be decent-sized hits, Disney came in like a shark, swiping the studio up for a few billion, expecting similar results. But not only has “The Avengers” handily outdrawn every other superhero film thus far, it's number one at the domestic box office for a third weekend running, with a $55 million haul, and is actually now Disney’s highest grossing film of all time. Take that, “Flubber”!

On the one hand, this is a shared victory with Marvel, so it’s not exactly the in-house success story that Disney was hoping for. Moreover, there are large back-end deals in place for most of the other participants, particularly the $50 million Robert Downey Jr. is set to take in. And yet what remains is still one sick piggy bank to divvy up. It »
