Henry Cavill on the possibility of a Superman / Batman World's Finest movie
4 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
A couple of months back it was rumoured that Christopher Nolan was set to produce a potential Justice League / World's Finest movie, which would have seen Christian Bale donning the cape and cowl once more to team up with Henry Cavill, star of the upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel. While the initial report turned out to be little more than wild, inaccurate speculation, Henry Cavill has now offered a few thoughts about the possibility of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight appearing together on the big screen.
"I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman / Superman conflict because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different," said Cavill during an interview with SFX. "And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. »

Tom Struthers backbone of 'D-Day': Arjun Rampal
15 hours ago | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Mumbai, May 24: Actors Arjun Rampal and Irrfan, who play Raw agents in Nikhil Advani's forthcoming thriller "D-Day", trained with Hollywood stunt director Tom Struthers for real action sequences in the film. Arjun calls him the "backbone" of the movie.
On the foreign front, Struthers has earlier choreographed action sequences for films like "Dark Knight" series, "Lara Croft" series, "Inception" and "Batman Begins".
"We trained a lot with Struthers. I wish he was here. He has given us some great skills and techniques of fighting, how a Raw agent would fight," Arjun said here Thursday at the first-look launch of the film.

The Flickering Myth Reaction - Man of Steel Trailer #4
16 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Flickering Myth writing team sit down to talk about the fourth trailer for Man of Steel....
After releasing what felt like a million posters (albeit awesome ones), Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures gave us a fourth trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel this week - this time featuring more of Michael Shannon's General Zod.
So, what did the Flickering Myth writing staff think?
Martin Deer: This trailer compliments the epic third one so well: we've had the hope that is Superman, now we have the very real threat that is Zod. The stage is perfectly set. You can really see the 'First Contact' scenario at play, with Zod's message - which is brilliant, that would be a terrifying moment in real life and I imagine the story will capture that.
To address complaints I've seen: Superman can be pissed off. In fact, it is »

Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer talk Man of Steel
23 May 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Coinciding with the release of today's rather splendid action-packed fourth theatrical trailer for Man of Steel, The New York Times has posted an article featuring interviews with director Zack Snyder (Watchmen), producer Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises) and screenwriter David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), as the trio discuss how they intend to make 'The World's Greatest Superhero' relevant for the 21st century.
"When they try to dress him up, put him in jeans and a T-shirt or a leather jacket with an S on it, I go: ‘What? Guys, it’s O.K. It’s Superman. He’s the king daddy. You should all be bowing down to him,'" states Snyder. "He’s a really cool mythological contradiction. He’s incredibly familiar Americana and alien, exotic, bizarroland, but beautifully woven together. All of us, in a weird way, are that same kind of contradiction — no one’s that simple. »

Watch: New 'Man of Steel' Trailer; How Nolan, Goyer and Snyder Reinvented the Big Blue Boy Scout
22 May 2013 12:43 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Who knew, when Brandon Routh took on the alien Kal-El in Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns," that fans would split so divisively? The 2006 movie, which paid homage to the Richard Donner "Superman" movies without completely updating the franchise the way Christopher Nolan did with "Batman Begins," grossed $391 million worldwide off strong reviews for a genre sequel. But it cost more than $232 million. Warners felt it could have performed better with more action and a powerful villain--and no Superman kid. So Singer was taken off the franchise. The debate continued to rage about what Warner Bros. should do with the DC Comics super-hero. Fans clamored all over the web for a complete reboot. Warner Bros. motion picture chief Jeff Robinov struggled with what to do. As the last movie didn't break the mold --Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was very been there, done that--and wound up in some kind of middle limbo, »

Directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen) from a story by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins) and Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises), Man of Steel sees Henry Cavill (Immortals) donning the cape as Superman as he looks to protect Earth from General Zod (Michael Shannon; Boardwalk Empire) and his right hand woman Faora (Antje Traue; Pandorum). Also featuring in the cast are Amy Adams (The Fighter) as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner (Hatfields & McCoys) as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane (Secretariat) as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne (Contagion) as Perry White and Ayelet Zurer (Angels & Demons) as Lara Lor-Van.

The 5 Best Video Games Based Off Movies
22 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It's hard for Hollywood to make a decent video game film, but it's even harder for the gaming industry to make decent video games based off movies. E.T. remains at the top of worst game lists. The Tron game was a big flop, and sure Batman has had his fair share of good games...but he's also had Batman Forever and Batman Begins which speak for themselves in their mediocrity. I composed a list of some of the best video games directly spawned from a movie. Enjoy!
5. Power Rangers: The Movie: The Videogame (Snes/Sega Genesis)
I replayed this game recently, and I have to say it holds up much better than the movie. It's challenging, fun, and an all around great clone of the ever so popular arcade fighter you'd play in the 90s! Sure, it doesn't have music by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, but the option »

Christian Bale's movie transformations: Bald, emaciated, bulked-up
22 May 2013 5:02 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Christian Bale was barely recognisable as he sported a bald head following filming for upcoming movie American Hustle in New York this week (May 20).
The 39-year-old actor shaved his head and put on weight to star in David O Russell's true-life crime drama set in 1970s New York, and was recently photographed on set with a comb-over and slight paunch.
We take a look at other roles played by the Oscar-winning actor that required physical transformations - from his shockingly emaciated frame in The Machinist to his bulked-up buff body just one year later for Batman Begins. »

5 Most Overlooked Performances In The Dark Knight Trilogy
22 May 2013 2:03 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Dark Knight trilogy has many memorable performances throughout each film. Whether it be actors who reprised their roles such as Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, Michael Caine as Alfred or Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, to actors who shined in their respective roles in only one of the films, such as Heath Ledger as the Joker or Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent… the trilogy is filled with examples of excellent portrayals.
However, there are performances throughout the trilogy that do not receive quite as much positive attention as they should get. Here are 5 performances that are overlooked in The Dark Knight trilogy…
5. Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox)
Morgan Freeman’s depiction of Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight trilogy is one example of seeing an accomplished actor portray the same character in the trilogy. Fox is one character who had yet to be included in a Batman film before the first film in the trilogy, »

Must Watch: General Zod Unleashed in Epic 'Man of Steel' Trailer
21 May 2013 11:34 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"Surrender within 24 hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences." Out of nowhere, one more threat from Michael Shannon as villain General Zod has surfaced in a trailer for Man of Steel. With a whole slew of new footage featuring the alien villain threatening Earth and the last son of Krypton, this trailer is even better than the full length trailer that came out about a month ago. Shannon might give Benedict Cumberbatch a run for his money as best villainous performance in this year's summer blockbusters. This trailer delivers all the action fans have wanted from a Superman movie for decades. Watch the trailer now! Here's the new trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel from Warner Bros. Pictures: Man of Steel, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, is being directed by Zack Snyder, of Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen & Sucker Punch previously. Christopher Nolan is producing, and »

'Next!': the secretive world of casting directors
21 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Casting directors are among the most powerful figures in showbusiness, able to make or break careers. But what exactly do they do? Laura Barnett talks auditions, callbacks – and tears
Up in his office on the sixth floor of the Palace theatre, in the heart of London's theatreland, Stephen Crockett is letting me in on a secretive world. The walls are lined with posters for hit shows he has worked on: from Chicago to almost every Andrew Lloyd Webber musical; from Mamma Mia! to Jerry Springer: The Opera. His desk is buried beneath piles of newspapers, CVs and headshots. But – showing me a photograph of performer Dianne Pilkington, just cast in Mamma Mia! – he assures me it's organised chaos. This is the mysterious world of the casting director.
They are rarely interviewed. Few people outside theatre, film and TV know who they are. Yet casting directors rank among the most influential operators in showbusiness. »

Star Trek Into Darkness: 10 Great Things (And 10 Not So Great Things)
21 May 2013 2:50 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
So now that we finally have our 12th Trek into the Stars on the big-screen, which opened to rave reviews and generous first weekend box-office returns, the sequel to critical and commercial success ‘Star Trek’ (2009) also helmed by J.J Abrams. That previous installment of the nearly 50-year-old franchise brought new-blood in both in front of and behind the camera, reinvigorating and one could say reenergizing the then stagnant Sci-Fi staple.
That movie, despite some narrative misgivings I had about it, accomplished exactly what it needed rebooting Star Trek. Giving fans and casual viewers memorable characters, shiny tech and nods to the past series as a whole. Which brings us to ‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’, which finds the emotional Star Fleet Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) journeying into the deepest voids of space to seek retribution after a horrific terrorist attack perpetrated by a rogue Starfleet Agent.

Warner Bros. has released four new posters from Man of Steel as they are now getting into character poster mode. Above you see the banner featuring Henry Cavill as Superman and below you'll find a similar banner featuring Michael Shannon as the film's villain General Zod, a second poster featuring Zod and a third poster featuring Russell Crowe as Superman's father, Jor-El. With a story from Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises) and a script from David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Man of Steel aims to reinvent the Superman story for a new generation and I've been telling people in Cannes this is probably my most anticipated blockbuster of the summer now. At first I had my doubts, but some of the little things I'm hearing have converted me and I sure hope it all works out. I'd welcome the opportunity to be excited about another superhero franchise the way »

Watch: Cast & Crew Talk Superman In New Featurette From 'Man Of Steel'
18 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We're now a month away from seeing "Man Of Steel" on screens, and there's still several ways it could go. We could be looking at a "Batman Begins," a film that revives the franchise and goes on to bigger things. We could be seeing a "Superman Returns," one that pretty much stalls the DC hero and leaves it needing another reboot. Or we could be looking at something huge, an "Avengers" style hit. The trailers have been strong, the buzz good and screenings should be underway in a few weeks. Until then, to tide us over, a new featurette on the film has arrived, courtesy of Walmart of all people (they're sponsoring a series of early screenings the day before the movie opens; you can find out more here). There's a fair bit of new footage, as well as slightly puff-piece-y input from Zack & Deborah Snyder, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, »

4 Reasons Why Christopher Nolan Should Direct Next James Bond Film
17 May 2013 4:33 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
He’s a director that has been established as a visionary from as far back as his second full-length feature Memento, and proved again and again with his Batman trilogy that he had many tricks up his sleeve. And though I’ve somewhat tarnished my personal view of the infallibility of Inception, I can’t escape that it’s a visual bravado of a film. And if you’ll notice, there are a few recurring motifs in Nolan’s writing that just make him perfect for the James Bond franchise. And, though it’s well-documented on the Internet, Nolan’s not been afraid to be vocal about his love for James Bond.
“I’ve loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they’re always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I’d love to do a Bond film. »

Star Trek writer talks about Man of Steel and the planned Justice League movie
16 May 2013 11:20 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Damon Lindelof (Prometheus, Star Trek Into Darkness) has offered some advice to Warner Bros. about their planned Justice League movie, which will tie together their superhero properties of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc - just like Marvel did with The Avengers / Avengers Assemble.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lindelof was asked whether he would help WB solve their 'Justice League problem' if they called. He deflected the question with his superpower of Suggestion Shield...
"I think a lot of that depends on Man of Steel. The Justice League problem is not a problem of, who is the bad guy that Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, Superman, whoever you decide to pit them against. The problem is: What’s the tone of that movie? They’ve been struggling with launching their own tone. The tone of Green Lantern is very different from the tone of The Dark Knight. They »

Legendary Entertainment Buys Marketing Agency FIVE33
16 May 2013 3:21 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Legendary Entertainment plans to buy its own marketing agency, announcing an agreement on Thursday to buy FIVE33, which would focus exclusively on Thomas Tull’s growing slate of internally developed and mostly financed films like “Pacific Rim” and “Godzilla.”
Over the past several years, FIVE33 has specialized in helping studios eventize their films around the world through experiential marketing campaigns. In 2011, it built a massive pirate ship at Hollywood & Highland and ships in a bottle for malls on the east coast to hype Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”
In fact, Disney was one of the agency’s larger clients, which also have included Paramount and Universal, for which it worked on “Star Trek Into Darkness” and “Oblivion.”
But the Legendary deal will now have FIVE33 build awareness around its new owner’s tentpoles, hyping them around the world and across multiple platforms.
FIVE33 certainly has a lot to work with. »
