Four behind-the-scenes images from The Wolverine
16 May 2013 6:28 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Bryan Singer delivered a new image from X-Men: Days of Future Past earlier this week featuring Hugh Jackman's Wolverine alongside Nicholas Hoult's Beast, and now director James Mangold has taken to Twitter himself to remind us that Jackman has another solo outing arriving prior to next year's mutant ensemble by releasing four new behind-the-scenes images from July's The Wolverine....
"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality."

Awesome First Full-Length Trailer & Poster for Riddick with Vin Diesel
15 May 2013 12:22 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
If you’re anything like me, you can’t wait for Vin Diesel to return to the big screen in not one but two of the year’s most promising blockbuster sequels. First up will of course be Fast and Furious 6, which hits our screens this Friday (and next Friday, if you’re in the Us). And then all eyes will be on September, for the return of Riddick.
Diesel shared with us a brilliant first teaser trailer back in March, giving us a thirty-second glimpse at his return to the infamous character. And now Universal have released the film’s first full-length trailer, via Machinima, which is set to be attached to Fast and Furious 6 next weekend, along with an awesome new poster.

The main thing to notice in this picture is Hugh Jackman’s torso, and the muscles located thereupon. Some of those muscles haven’t even been discovered by science yet. This movie will »

Andrew Garfield and Ken Watanabe Line Up for Martin Scorsese's 'Silence'
7 May 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
At one point the cast included Daniel Day-Lewis, Benicio del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal, but it's taken quite a long time for Martin Scorsese to get Silence off the ground and people move on while other projects stall. Silence, however, is finally coming together. With the production eying a 2014 start, Scorsese has set Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Social Network) and Ken Watanabe (Inception, The Last Samurai) to star in the film based on Shusaku Endo's novel adapted for the screen by Jay Cocks and Variety's news item reporting it will be a Japaense-language film. Issei Ogata (Yi Yi) also stars. The story is set in the 17th century as two Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor and to spread the gospel of Christianity. Garfield will star as Father Rodrigues, a Portuguese Jesuit who travels to Japan »

Casting Watch: Andrew Garfield to Star in Martin Scorsese's Long-Awaited 'Silence'
7 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
"Spider-Man" star and "Social Network" dreamboat Andrew Garfield will break the two-decade long silence on Martin Scorsese's "Silence," which goes to the Cannes buyers' market this May. Though not Portuguese himself, Garfield has been cast to play Father Rodrigues, a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit who travels to Japan to tout the gospel of Christianity. Adapted from Shusaku Endo's 1966 novel, the film was once rumored to star Daniel Day-Lewis, Benicio del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal, and it's unknown whether they remain attached to the project or not. Japanese star Ken Watanabe ("The Last Samurai") will co-star with Garfield. "Silence" has been on pause for years but has been a dream project of Scorsese's since he read the novel 25 years ago, according to an interview with the director in Variety. Scorsese, currently wrapping up "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio (allegedly the "Great Gatsby" star's last role for awhile), is still location. »

Good news for Scorsese fans, as his next project, Silence, has not only found financing for a June 2014 start, but has also landed a leading man in The Amazing Spider-man's Andrew Garfield, and a co-star with The Last Samurai's Ken Watanabe. Based on the novel by Shusaku Endo, the film will be a Japanese-language pic, and follow in the tradition of Scorsese's more personal work, like Kundun and The Last Temptation Of Christ.

New poster for The Wolverine focuses on the Silver Samurai

Last week we got our first look at Will Yun Lee's (Total Recall) Silver Samurai in action against Hugh Jackman's Logan in The Wolverine thanks to the arrival of the CinemaCon trailer for the upcoming X-Men solo sequel, and now director James Mangold has tweeted a new theatrical poster for the movie which adopts the same style as the first teaser poster and focuses on the Japanese antagonist. Judging by the sheer size of the Silver Samurai, it's surprising this isn't the IMAX poster...

New international trailer for The Wolverine
23 April 2013 2:57 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
It's certainly an exciting time for comic book movie fans at the moment, what with the recent Man of Steel trailer, today's Thor: The Dark World trailer and the impending release of Iron Man 3 (which we'll be reviewing in just a few short hours), and now 20th Century Fox has got in on the act with a new international trailer for The Wolverine, which sees Hugh Jackman heading to Japan for his sixth appearance as the X-Men's adamantium-clawed mutant Logan. Sadly, there's only a few snippets of footage in this latest preview, but seeing as it took an eternity for the official trailer to land, it could be a while before we get to see any more...
The Wolverine (or Wolverine: Samurai, as it's now titled in Japan) is directed by James Mangold (Knight and Day) and is based upon the 1982 comic book miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. »

Infographic: Tom Cruise Vs. Everything
17 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Tom Cruise does a lost more in his movies than just flash his million-dollar smile and have nervous breakdowns in locker rooms with Cuba Gooding Jr., you know. Over the course of his nearly 40 years in movies, Cruise has taken on a wide variety of formidable enemies, whether they be made of flesh and blood or something else. Like any true movie hero, the man just can't get away from conflict.
In honor of the release of "Oblivion," which has Cruise taking on yet another new opponent, we've created an infographic that illustrates just how much fightin' Tom has done over the years — and who (or what) has been on the receiving end of his furious wrath.

Horror comedies such as Pee Mak Phrakanong could be hot exports for Thailand's rapidly improving film industry
The flood of Chinese domestic blockbusters since the turn of the year is the strongest hint yet that the country is capable of being a Hollywood for Asia, and setting the cinema agenda for the region. But it's not the sole player around. At the end of March Thai audiences flocked to see horror comedy Pee Mak Phrakanong – based on the Mae Nak folktale about a man who returns from war and unwittingly settles back in with the ghost of his wife, who has died in childbirth. It had the second biggest opening (21.2m baht/£478,000) ever for a Thai film, and with over 300m baht to date, it is closing on the all-time box-office record (550m baht) held by 2001's war epic The Legend of Suriyothai.
Thai audiences seem to love their history: »
