'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' sequel to film in March 2014
16 May 2013 6:18 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
The Weinstein Company has announced the production start date for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II -The Green Destiny.
The sequel will begin filming in Asia in March 2014.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II -The Green Destiny will be directed by Yuen Woo-Ping (Forbidden Kingdom), who was the fight choreographer on the first movie. Life of Pi's Oscar-winning director Ang Lee directed the first instalment of the Wang Du Lu adaptation.
"I loved Ang Lee's film," Harvey Weinstein said. "I thought it was a master class in directing, but I know we are in fantastic hands with Yuen Wo Ping directing the second instalment."
Michelle Yeoh will reprise her role as Yu Shu Lien, with Donnie Yen (Blade II) also starring as Silent Wolf.
The screenplay has been written by Spirit and Forbidden Kingdom's John Fusco. Weinstein and David Thwaites will serve as producers on the film, alongside co-producer Johnny Levin. »
Who Is The Most Successful Superhero Actor?
9 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
With Robert Downey Jr.'s contract renegotiations off to a start (not to mention every other Avenger as well... yikes!), a lot of talk is being made of just how integral Downey is to the Marvel franchise. To be honest, you're not going to get any argument about that here. Downey's commitment to the role, natural charisma, and superb acting chops all coalesced in 2008 to form the biggest surprise hero hit ever. Thanks to "Iron Man," the armored Avenger rocketed from Marvel's B-list all the way to the top. The guy is irreplaceable.
But is he the most successful superhero actor ever? To find out, I spent a lot of time on Box Office Mojo pulling data and making spreadsheets. I compiled a list of the top 10 most successful superhero actors, based on box office totals. There were a few requirements though:

Celebrity Biography: Norman Reedus
17 April 2013 7:32 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Best known for his roles in The Boondock Saints duology and The Walking Dead (TV), Norman Mark Reedus was born on January 6, 1969 in Hollywood, Florida, where he lived only a few months before moving to Los Angeles, California. At the age of 17, his parents moved to Chiba, Japan, where he lived for 18 months. In the 1990's he moved back to La, following a girl who soon after dumped him. His last job there, prior to his first acting gig, was at a motorcycle shop in Venice Beach where he earned $7.50 an hour. The same day he quit that job, Norman got his first role. That evening a friend took him to a party attended by people in the movie industry. There, he got drunk and, with a big pair of sunglasses on, he started screaming at everybody. One of the guests noticed him and immediately offered Norman his first acting »

Injustice: Gods Among Us (iPhone) Review
10 April 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
As a full-on DC Comics fanatic, I was beyond excited at the opportunity to download (for free, no less!) the mobile version of Injustice: Gods Among Us for my iPhone. Are you kidding me? I get to play as Nightwing? Solomon Grundy? The Freakin Flash?! Oh, I was stoked all right. And then I opened the program. And then I started a new game. And then…
Let’s be honest, there’s not much you can do with a fighting game – especially one designed/tweaked for a smartphone – that hasn’t been done before. Gameplay is limited to swipes and taps, for the most part, and you have to make up for that with style, variations of challenges, and excellent sound and graphics. But the actual fighting… isn’t terribly exciting or nuanced with most mobile fighting apps.

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #18 - Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
8 April 2013 1:53 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #18...
Hellboy II: The Golden Army, 2008.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro.
Starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, John Alexander, James Dodd, Seth MacFarlane, Luke Goss, Anna Walton, Jeffrey Tambor, John Hurt and Brian Steele.
Director Guillermo del Toro reunites with Ron Perlman as Mike Mignola's demonic hero Hellboy returns to protect humanity from Prince Nuada (Luke Goss, who also appeared as the main bad guy in another del Toro-directed comic book sequel, Blade II), who is looking to harness the power of the Golden Army - an "unstoppable force" of magical creatures.
Despite Hellboy turning a respectable profit for Columbia Pictures in 2004, it wasn't until the release of the critically acclaimed Pan's Labyrinth that del Toro was to get the go ahead for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #23 - Blade (1998)
4 April 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #23...
Blade, 1998.
Directed by Stephen Norrington.
Starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N'Bushe Wright, Donal Logue, Udo Kier, Arly Jover and Traci Lords.
While Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000) is generally credited with kick-starting the current superhero movie boom, it was actually Marvel's Blade who got in there first, with the Daywalker arriving on the screen two years earlier - and just one year after the disastrous Batman & Robin - thanks to director Stephen Norrington, screenwriter David S. Goyer and star Wesley Snipes.
After the success of Blade, Wesley Snipes returned for the sequels Blade II and Blade: Trinity, but turned down the opportunity to headline the subsequent small screen spin-off Blade: The Series due to an ongoing lawsuit with New Line Cinema, with Kirk »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #50 - #26

The top 50 underappreciated Zx Spectrum games
21 March 2013 4:30 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Odd List Simon Brew 22 Mar 2013 - 06:26
The humble Spectrum was home to some remarkable games - including these underappreciated masterpieces...
I, like many, spend many years playing Spectrum games. I defended the computer in the school playground, I kept playing with the machine long after everyone had migrated to likes of the Atari St and Commodore Amiga, and I spent an unsavoury amount of my meagre pocket money building up my games collection.
However, a lot of lookbacks at the Spectrum era tend to focus on the big highlights. What I wanted to do here is put together a personal listing of 50 titles that don't seem to get that much attention.
So, if you're wondering why Gollop brothers games, anything by the late, great Mike Singleton, the acclaimed works of Ultimate, the likes of Exolon, Head Over Heels, Advanced Lawnmower Simulator, Match Day, Batty, Wizball, Firefly, Nebulus, Fairlight, The Sentinel, »

Guillermo del Toro talks Justice League Dark movie
27 February 2013 3:33 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Warner Bros. long-rumoured Justice League movie may have hit the rocks following the negative reception for Will Beall's (Gangster Squad) screenplay, but DC fans may yet get to see a variation of the Justice League on the big screen courtesy of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Blade II). Speaking to Total Film to promote the release of Mama, del Toro offered an update on his proposed Justice League Dark adaptation, which is going by the working title of Dark Universe.
"I am going to be presenting my storyline to DC and Warners of where I want to take this universe. We do have a writer, but until that is firmed up, I have to keep it a secret. I hope it happens," said del Toro, who is releasing his big-budget kaiju homage Pacific Rim through Warner Bros. this July. "It's going really really well. It's like meeting old friends. »

Guillermo del Toro Offers a Brief Update on the Justice League Dark Project
26 February 2013 12:43 AM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Following the release of Mama in the United Kingdom, Total Film recently chatted with the producer of the Andres Muschietti-helmed horror outing, Guillermo del Toro (Blade II, Hellboy movie series, Pan's Labyrinth). And with the famed director's recent attachment to DC Comics' Justice League Dark adaptation project - currently titled Heaven Sent Dark Universe - of course the website didn't skip the chance to question him about his "comic book passion project." Certainly, del Toro remained secretive about the vital details, but here's what he had to offer about the project's development. "I am going to be presenting my storyline to DC and Warners of where I want to take this universe," he said. "We do have a writer, but until that is firmed up, I have to keep it a secret. I hope it happens." It may come up as no surprise, but the Pacific Rim director admitted »
Three Horror Movie Making Tips From Guillermo del Toro (Video)
21 February 2013 3:40 PM, PST | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
Since breaking into Hollywood with his horror movie Cronos, Guillermo del Toro continued his love of horror movies with Pan's Labryinth, The Devil's Backbone, Mimic and his most recent Mama. The Mexican director shares three tips to making a classic horror movie.
The Hellboy and Blade II director tells CineMovie he prefers old-fashion scares over just "killing off" people for a body count. For the Mexican native, these three elements are important to a horror film.
1. Emotionally relatable characters
2. A style in the scares or killings
3. Find new ways to tell classic stories
Del Toro's horror films nearly always include children as the protagonists starting with Cronos, The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labrynth and his most recent film, Mama which he executive produced from new director Read more »
Wesley Snipes Rips Off Heads In New Trailer For ‘Gallowwalkers’
20 February 2013 4:30 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Tax-dodging actor Wesley Snipes is only months away from freedom following a four year stint in the slammer, yet, already has a film due this year! Granted, the majority of his supernatural western, Gallowwalkers, was shot in 2008 before his incarceration but we’ll finally see if the film up there with Blade and Blade II, or if it sinks faster than crapfest, Blade: Trinity. It’s unsure if the makers have awaited his release to complete scenes or if they’ve just delayed the release in order for him to publicly promote the film.
Directed by Brit Andrew Goth, Gallowwalkers sees Snipes as a cursed gunman, whose finds all his victims have been resurrected to form an undead legion intent on having their revenge. He then recruits a young protege warrior to help in the fight against the horde of zombies.

“Dracula” Finds Van Helsing: Thomas Kretschmann
13 February 2013 5:05 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Thomas Kretschmann will be switching cloaks for Dracula. He’s played the Count himself, in Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D, but now will play the opposite side of the coin: Van Helsing! Kretschmann should be familiar to many, as he’s had a varied film and TV career, with roles in U-571, Blade II, The Pianist, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The River, King Kong, and a ton more.
Abraham Van Helsing is described as “…not the classic hero featured in so many retellings. Here, he’s a brilliant professor with a cool exterior who is obsessed with revenge and makes him more of a threat to the public than to Dracula.“
Thomas Kretschmann joins a cast that includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jessica De Guow, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen in the NBC series set in the 1800′s. »

‘Pacific Rim’ Images and Early Reactions; del Toro Talks Western Influence
4 February 2013 8:21 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Guillermo del Toro is considered a God by certain members of the geek population, after his supernatural horror comic book adaptations (Blade II, the Hellboy movies) and grim(m) Spanish-language fairy tales (The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth). He’s renewing fanboy/girl cred this year, beginning with his first directing project in five years: the East-meets-West monsters and giant robots extravaganza Pacific Rim.
The filmmaker, author (see: The Strain) and creature-horror aficionado recovered quickly after At the Mountains of Madness collapsed back in 2011, shifting his attention over to the Japanese monster genre throwback – del Toro insists it’s not a Quentin Tarantino-inspired pastiche with “greatest hits of everything” – developing from screenwriter Travis Beacham (Dog Days of Summer, Clash of the Titans (2010)).
Time-jump eight months and shooting had begun, followed by the teaser trailer premiering at last year’s International Comic-Con; then, in December, the preview began making the rounds in theaters. »

Box Office: Jessica Chastain Dominates With 'Mama' & 'Zero Dark Thirty,' 'The Last Stand' Flops
20 January 2013 10:03 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Jessica Chastain: A-List star? Following a Best Actress Oscar nomination for "Zero Dark Thirty," the leading lady stars in the top two films at the box office despite a fairly crowded weekend. Cheapie horror film "Mama" blew away a couple of newcomers to open strong at the top spot, followed by the second weekend of Kathryn Bigelow's Best Picture nominee, both movies showcasing the actress in very different roles. It's not enough that Chastain's films would finish 1-2, but rather that in the horror picture, she plays an ineffectual goth surrogate mother, and in the military thriller, she assumes the role of a government-approved dealer of death. Swank, thy name is Chastain. Not Hilary Swank, though, don't get it twisted. "Mama" was oddly marketed on the strength of producer Guillermo del Toro more than it was on Chastain starring. Considering his biggest film is the $82 million-grossing "Blade II" in 2002, and he hasn't. »
