Thomas Jane and Tim Bradstreet Talk Dark Country, Alien Pig Farm Movie with David Gordon Green, The Magnificent Death, and the Future of Comics
31 May 2012 2:07 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first time I met Thomas Jane, he was swaggering barefoot through a hall at Comic-Con, answering questions for an hour after the midnight screening of his film, Give ‘Em Hell, Malone. During our first interview, last year at the Saturn Awards, he told Joel Silver and Sylvester Stallone to go shoot themselves before lamenting some of the lesser films he has been a part of and promising to only make projects he wanted to make from now on. “If someone’s gonna screw it up, it should be me,” said Jane. But it doesn’t look like he’s screwing anything up just yet. Yesterday afternoon, I got on the phone with Jane (The Punisher, Hung) and his Raw Studio’s compatriot, Tim Bradstreet (Eisner Award-winning cover artist for, Hellblazer) to discuss their company’s new digital distribution deal with Comixology and their premiere release, a graphic novel adaptation of Jane’s directorial debut, »

Our weekly round-up of the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Once again, Marvel's The Avengers continues to shatter records at the global box office as audiences remain enthralled by the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In North America, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero team-up became the fastest film to cross the $400m mark, achieving the feat in just fourteen days (four fewer than it took The Dark Knight back in 2008, albeit with the benefit of higher ticket prices), and it has also overtaken the world-wide haul of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Bat-sequel, making it the highest grossing comic book movie of all time...
...As if that's not enough to earn bragging rights for Marvel, the film is now also officially Disney's biggest ever hit, having surpassed Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest to sit at #6 in the all-time global chart. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King »

Geek Girl Navigating the World – The Avengers and Why I Drink the Comic Book Movie Kool-Aid
20 May 2012 5:32 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
When “The Avengers” came out, I saw it on opening day. I had planned to go see it, but I’d anticipated waiting for about a week or so after the release date because I’d just figured that I would give the crowds a little time to die down. A friend of mine had other ideas, though, mostly, I think, because he knew that not only would I go to the movie, but I would enjoy it. I did, of course. It’s difficult not to enjoy a movie that is written and produced and stars by people who enjoy the subject matter. You can see the comic Geek love all over that movie, which makes it particularly wonderful for fellow Geeks to watch.
Still, as we waited in line for the movie to start, I was surprised to notice that there were very few women in line to see it. »

The Road to The Avengers: The Countdown Begins

Luke Owen sets off down the road to The Avengers as Flickering Myth's countdown begins...
Crossover movies. They're every fanboys dream. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, Alien vs. Predator, Freddy vs. Jason. Many have been rumoured, only a few have come to fruition.
Marvel didn’t always have the best times when it came to movies. Unlike DC Comics’ movie success with Superman and Batman, Marvel had to settle for lame adaptations of their characters, like the 1994 Roger Corman-produced Fantastic Four that took less than a month to film, or Captain America in 1990, which featured an Italian Red Skull.
Also unlike DC, Marvel didn’t sell the rights to their characters to one source. Instead they palmed them around to anyone who would take an interest, with a deal that if the studio did’t make a movie within a certain amount of time, the rights would revert back to »

Our weekly round-up of all the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Well, with The Avengers receiving its world premiere this past Wednesday, Marvel has pretty much dominated the superhero headlines once again, but before we get on to that we’ll start things out this week with The Dark Knight Rises. First up came the rather expected news that – as with Christopher Nolan’s two previous Batman movies – the hugely-anticipated sequel will be rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language”. For us folk here in the UK, expect a 12A rating (and put your hands together and pray that the BBFC don’t impose any cuts on Warner Bros. to avoid a 15 certificate). While that in itself wasn’t overly exciting, Entertainment Weekly went on to bring some joy to Batman fans later in the week with their latest issue. »

Our weekly round-up of all the biggest news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
The big story this past week is the complete non-story about the running time for Christopher Nolan’s rough cut of The Dark Knight Rises clocking in at four-hours, which stemmed from a blatantly obvious throwaway joke over at MTV that was immediately picked up as gospel by virtually every media outlet under the sun. The fact that the ‘story’ spread like wildfire just goes to highlight the recent drought in all things Batman, although a few interesting bits and pieces have popped up lately, including a short synopsis taken from the packaging of a tie-in product and rumours [now sadly debunked] that Nolan and company may descend on Comic Con to promote the release of the hugely anticipated sequel. Meanwhile ComicBookMovie also unearthed some new promo images of Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and a gun-toting »

Exclusive: Producer Gale Anne Hurd Talks The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale And The Pacing Of Season 3
25 March 2012 8:31 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Recently, I had the chance to speak to producer Gale Anne Hurd as we did a light retrospective on her career. Most people these days, probably know her best for The Walking Dead but her success story goes much farther back to The Terminator, Aliens, Tremors, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and even a few comic book movies such as The Incredible Hulk and The Punisher. In looking at her career, we talked about her exposure to comics at an early age [she’s a Marvel girl], her start under the legendary Roger Corman and I even had a little fun asking her about who would direct and star in a Gale Anne Hurd Wonder Woman movie. We also spoke about her production company, Valhalla Entertainment and the plethora of projects they currently have in development. The majority of the interview is still in the editing bay but »
Bounty Hunters – DVD Review
17 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Jules (7-time WWE champion Trish Stratus) is a member of a three-person bounty hunter crew who chance upon an informant one night who is worth $100,000 if they hand him in, but $1,000,000 if they hand him over to the mob boss who is after him. Feelings of moral conflict ensue, along with lots of terrible acting and unconvincing fight scenes.
*****
WWE (or WWF, or We) has given us plenty of big screen stars over the years, though very few have attained any genuine success. First came Hulk Hogan (Rocky III, Mr Nanny), then “Rowdy” Roddy Piper (They Live) and Randy Savage (Spider-Man). Triple H has cropped up a few times (Blade: Trinity, The Chaperone) and even lesser known players like Kevin Nash have had their moment in the sun (The Punisher). Aside from The Rock, none of them have really shone, which makes the casting of Trish Stratus here the cause »

When last we reported on the female lead casting of director Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables, we told you that Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!) had been offered the role of Cosette and Taylor Swift (Valentine’s Day) had been asked to play Eponine.

It's Three Men and a Bear for 'Red Machine'
19 January 2012 4:52 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Haven't these guys seen "The Edge?" Bears eat people!
Regardless of the danger, James Marsden, Thomas Jane and Billy Bob Thornton are set to prove their mettle as they've signed on to star in the wilderness survival thriller, "Red Machine," according to Variety.
"Red Machine" tells the tale of two estranged brothers (Marsden and Jane) who reconcile while on a camping trip with their respective girlfriends; their great reconciliation in the great outdoors is interrupted when a giant grizzly bear known as 'The Red Machine' begins stalking them. Thornton is set to channel Robert Shaw in "Jaws" as a legendary bear expert and hunter who probably gets killed.
"Red Machine" will be directed by David Hackl, the man who took over the "Saw" franchise from Darren Lynn Bousman with the fifth installment, with newcomer J.R. Reher providing the script.
After James Marsden took on drunken rampaging rednecks in "Straw Dogs, »
