Batman 3 Anne Hathaway Spotted All Battered And Bruised In NYC Other Day
12 hours ago | OnTheFlix | See recent OnTheFlix news »
Batman 3 Anne Hathaway spotted all battered and bruised in NYC other day. Three days ago, "Dark Knight Rises," Catwoman, starlet Anne Hathaway was looking quite cheery out in the big apple Brooklyn,New York, despite having a busted up arm that was being held in with sling. Apparently, she incurred an injury,but no description of how she got it, was revealed. Anyways, she seems to be handling it, ok. She's, of course,skinnier than ever as she had to lose a lot of weight, quickly, to film a new movie, called Les Miserables, where she played a frail prostitute,who's dying of tuberculosis. X-Men: Wolverine star Hugh Jackman co-starred in it with her,and it's scheduled to hit theaters on December 14, 2012. The movie also stars Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, and Eddie Redmayne. So, that sounds like a pretty good cast. However, the preface sounds pretty depressing,so »

What to Expect from Kevin Williamson's The Following
1 June 2012 1:18 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We're pretty excited to see Kevin Williamson's new TV project, "The Following", and from the sound of things he's just as excited for us to see it! Read on for a few more details of what we can expect.
During a recent interview with IGN, Williamson shared the following info on the series, which is heading to Fox at midseason, airing on Monday nights:
Regarding his inspiration for the show, Williamson said, "Well, I had the story - I was working on it 16 or 17 years ago. I was writing Scream, and this idea came to me at the same time. I put it in a box and didn’t deal with it until now. So I had tried to develop it as a series before, then I tried to develop it as a feature film, then I tried to develop it as a graphic novel -- nothing quite worked. »

Twins: Iceman is a Multiple Man
1 June 2012 11:22 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
While we're in Gemini, we're celebrating twins each day at 2:22 pm
Whatever happened to the X-Men franchise's young Shawn Ashmore? He played Iceman in three X-Films from 2000 through 2006 though the character essentially peaked in 2003 in the franchise's single best film (Bryan Singer's X2: X-Men United) where he proved a key player. About four years ago he and his twin brother Aaron Ashmore (also an actor, most famous for playing Smallville's Jimmy Olsen) were still getting press but you don't hear much about either of them these days.
They're both still acting, Shawn still (mostly) in the movies though its low budget horror instead of big budget Hollywood franchises and Aaron (one minute older) still in television where he hops from shortlived series regular gig to series regular gig post Smallville. At 31 years of age neither are as famous as they once were. Those superhero franchises help, »

10 Other Fairy Tale Movies Coming to the Big Screen
1 June 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The beautiful princess looking for love, the evil stepmother thwarting her every move, the handsome prince who comes to her rescue -- all are classic fairy tale characters that have come to life on the big screen, ever since the invention of movies.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" is just the latest cinematic re-telling of a classic fairy tale, following closely on the heels of the similarly Snow White-centric "Mirror Mirror." These types of films may be experiencing a renaissance, as there are many more movies based on fairy tales in the pipeline, with top talent attached. Here's a look at what's coming to a movie theater near you.
'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'
Mash up action, comedy, and horror in a movie produced by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, and you get Jeremy Renner as Hansel and Gemma Arterton as Gretel. This memorable title »

Cenk Uygur Says Rebecca Romijn Punished Him For Asking Gay X-Men Question
29 May 2012 3:57 PM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Marvel's X-Men comics are in the news these days because the series' longtime openly-gay character Northstar is about to get married, much to the consternation of anti-gay group One Million Moms (I ask again, if they're so anti-gay, shouldn't there also be One Million Dads?). The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur used the occasion to recall a time when Rebecca Romijn (then-Stamos) took offense to Cenk's question about X-Men charsacter Mystique's sexuality, and had him banned from the interview circuit. »

29 May 2012 12:31 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
One of the greatest things about film festivals, something that can even get you through the worst films, the lack of sleep, and the terrible B.O. of your fellow moviegoers, is the chance to discover new talent. You'll see absolute newcomers blast off into the stratosphere, or relatively well-known faces suddenly show off what they've always been capable of, and it's never less than a thrill.
And this year's Cannes Film Festival was no exception. With the festival now in the rear-view mirror, we've picked out five major talents who broke out at this year's festival, and whom we're certain we'll be hearing more from in the years to come. Check them out below, and if you were in Cannes, feel free to weigh in with your own suggestions too.

Our weekly round-up of all the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Having made way for Disney's marketing blitz on The Avengers these past couple of months, Warner Bros. stepped up the promotional campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in a big way this week, flooding the world wide web with a host of Bat-related goodies. It began with a new theatrical poster, and while this left some fans underwhelmed, the studio more than made amends over the next few days, starting with six character posters showcasing Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), along with a 'secret' Catwoman design that was discovered tucked away on the official website. Of course, this was just the beginning, and soon we had two new TV spots consisting of snippets of previously unseen footage, in addition to a whole raft of images featuring Bruce Wayne / Batman, »

Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #7: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver
27 May 2012 2:50 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:
Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff)
Why?: The Avengers were founded in July of 1963 due to the growing popularity of superhero teams in the »

26 May 2012 3:19 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Via Fox we have what are actually two sets of promo images for The Following, a midseason show starring Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy. You may have heard about the show called The Mastermind being developed, well, this is it with a fresh new title. It’s still the same concept we told you about earlier though, brought to us by (most recently) the showrunner of CW’s The Vampire Diaries (not to mention writing Scream, and writing and creating/co-creating Dawson’s Creek, Secret Circle).
related: Fox Reveals Trailers For New Shows The Following And The Mob Doctor
The Following is a serial killer hunt show that also features Justified’s Natalea Zea, Lost’S Maggie Grace, and Shawn Ashmore (from the X-Men films). The two batches of images featured include a character gallery of the cast as well as another group showing images of Bacon, Purefoy, and Ashmore from the show itself. »

The Misfits' Glen Danzig Was Almost Fox's Wolverine, Says He Would've Played Wolvie Less Gay
25 May 2012 12:56 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Back in 2000, wow, can't believe that's 12 years ago, we saw our first X-Men film on the big screen. As part of the second renaissance of superhero movies, Bryan Singer's film paved the way for the annual summer comic book movie festival we now enjoy. However, production on the film was somewhat troubled, least of which, was the casting search to play James Logan aka Wolverine. Up for the role at the time was legendary Misfits frontman, Glen Danzig. Recently speaking to La Weekly Danzig "reflects" on that opportunity--- Early in the film's pre-production, you were in talks to play Wolverine in X-Men. How would you have played Logan/Wolverine differently than Hugh Jackman? Danzig: It wouldn't have been as gay. Actually, he wasn't the first choice. They hired Dougray Scott. He had a falling out with the director, and then they hired Hugh Jackman. I'm glad I didn't »

Hugh Jackman Reveals Summer Start Date for ‘Wolverine 2′
21 May 2012 10:13 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Even as superheroes like Iron Man and The Avengers thrive under Marvel Studios’ watch, the X-Men film franchise (over at 20th Century Fox) has continued to struggle.
First, X-Men: The Last Stand took longer than expected to happen, after director Bryan Singer was swapped for Brett Ratner. Thereafter, the Origins: Wolverine spinoff/prequel was infamously passed around to several different filmmakers, ultimately suffering from too much studio interference; and, just last year, X-Men: First Class managed to re-invigorate fan interest in the franchise, despite it being pushed through the production pipeline at a furious rate.
The same has been true for Wolverine 2 (a.k.a. The Wolverine) – which, after a couple years’ worth of false starts, is finally ready to begin production. Fox officially settled on a July 2013 release date for The Wolverine a ...

Watch: Hugh Jackman Botch His Audition For Harlem Village Academies In Hilarious New Viral Video
21 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Who doesn't love Hugh Jackman? Of course, he's made his fair share of shitty movies ("Kate & Leopold," "Van Helsing," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), but there's something inherently likable and undeniably charming about the actor so that, even when the film is bad, Jackman's never less than totally committed, normally proving the best thing in the movie. And from "X-Men" to "The Fountain" and "The Prestige," he's given plenty of good performances as well, not least his hosting of the Oscars, a recent high-water mark for the show.
And as of today, we might love him a little bit more. Jackman's starred in a new College Humor viral video in support of Harlem Village Academies, the groundbreaking NYC school that says 'Teachers are Superstars' on which he serves on the board for, and playing himself, the star is very, very funny, auditioning for a job at the school with a monologue from "Shrek, »
