Bryan Singer on Fox's Marvel universe and competing with Marvel Studios

17 June 2013 11:21 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Director Bryan Singer is currently bringing together 20th Century Fox's two X-Men timelines as cameras roll on next year's time-travelling mutant epic X-Men: Days of Future Past, but the studio itself has bigger plans afoot, bringing in acclaimed comic book writer and producer Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) to serve as creative consultant as it attempts to replicate the success of Marvel Studios' with its own shared movie universe.

Of course, given the fact Fox only has the rights to X-Men and The Fantastic Four (which is being rebooted in 2015 under Chronicle helmer Josh Trank), the studio will be hoping that the uncanny world of the X-Men provides enough of a pool of heroes to spearhead this universe. Speaking to SFX (via ComicBookTherapy), Singer has spoken briefly about Millar's role, as well as his own plans to develop the X-Men universe which he launched himself back in 2000:

Man of Steel 2 in 2014, followed by Justice League in 2015?

17 June 2013 11:21 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Now that Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is off to a fine start at the box office, having posted a record June opening in the States, it would seem the stage is set for Warner Bros. to launch its long-awaited DC movie universe. We've already heard that Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer have been contracted to fast-track Man of Steel 2 through development, and now we may have an indication of a release date for the sequel, as well as the eagerly-anticipated Justice League movie.

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Warner is already in development on a sequel to Man of Steel and is expected to fast track that for release as soon as 2014" while "it has long been developing a Justice League team-up movie featuring characters such as the Flash and Wonder Woman that could come out as soon as 2015." Of course, both of these dates seem hugely ambitious, »

‘Warm Bodies’ Review

16 June 2013 6:39 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »

Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, John Malkovich, Dave Franco, Analeigh Tipton | Written and Directed by Jonathan Levine

At first it was seen as the potential Twilight of zombie movies, and by that I mean it could have turned a much loved subject (like zombies or vampires) into much hated genre: the romantic horror, full ofclichés. But trust me, this is Nothing like it.

Warm Bodies is a new approach to the zombie universe, which has started to become a new mass phenomenon. The film stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class), Rob Corddry (Childrens Hospital) and John Malkovich (Con Air). Considered as a new take on the classic Romeo and Juliet tale, the official synopsis is:“

After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as »

Eye on Emmy: How The Following Led Kevin Bacon to a Killer TV Debut, as a Flawed Hero

14 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

He has traveled to the moon, survived Alcatraz, put a few good men on trial and, yes, once almost got arrested for dancing. But in the course of more than 35 years of acting, one of the few things Kevin Bacon never explored was a series regular TV role – until Fox’s The Following invited him to hunt down a clever killer. Now, his turn as troubled FBI consultant Ryan Hardy could cop him his first Emmy nomination since the HBO miniseries Taking Chance.

Outstanding New Trailer for Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium with Matt Damon & Jodie Foster

13 June 2013 3:56 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium has been on our must-watch radar for what feels like forever, with the writer-director making his sophomore feature following an incredible debut in 2009 with District 9.

The anticipation surrounding the upcoming blockbuster was raised all the more when the epic first trailer launched back in April. And after catching a rather immense first TV spot this week, Sony have released a brilliant new trailer over on Yahoo Movies.

The impoverished inhabitants of a ruined planet Earth fight to join the safe and pristine living conditions of the space station Elysium, where only the wealthy and healthy reside. In need of medical treatment only available on Elysium, one resident of the planet’s slums attempts to reach the space station at any cost, and his actions could offset the entire balance of haves and have-nots.

12 June 2013 3:21 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

With French videogame studio Ubisoft already set to turn Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon into feature films, they're now lining up another trio.  Word has it that Ubisoft is seeking movie adaptations for Watch Dogs, Far Cry and Rabbids.  Perhaps this will mark a new wave of competent video game adaptations since each project has already landed some heavy Hollywood hitters.  Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) has signed on to star in Assassin's Creed, which is slated to open Memorial Day 2015; Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) will take on Splinter Cell; and Michael Bay will now be developing Ghost Recon as a franchise for Warner Bros.  So what's in store for the next wave of video games-turned-feature films?  Hit the jump to find out.

Diana Biopic: See the Child Star Portraying Young Prince William

12 June 2013 2:19 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Naomi Watts plays Princess Diana in the upcoming biopic, Diana, whose teaser trailer just hit the Internet today. But just who exactly is taking on the iconic roles of her two young sons, Prince William and Prince Harry? Leave the former to 12-year-old Laurence Belcher. The English child actor has some pretty impressive credits to his name despite only being in show biz for five years. Per IMDb, Belcher's previous films include X-Men: First Class, in which he played Professor Charles Xavier at age 12, as well as starring as Young Kazran in the British TV series Dr. Who. How close do you think he resembles the real William? We'll let you be the judge. As for Prince Harry, he's »

Ray Harryhausen and Everett Burrell“Growing up my dad was a musician and my mom was artist,” recalls Everett Burrell who drew and painted as a child.  “My little kids draw and paint now, and they’re only three and two.  It’s in the blood.”  A fascination with special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen (Clash of the Titans) expanded into a business venture with John Vulich (Lost Boys).  “I was into creature effects and props when I was younger.  I had a company called Optic Nerve Studios where I did zombies and creatures.  I started playing with the computer in 1989 and I’ve loved it ever since.  I loved the control and flexibility but I still respect effects.  My heart is in the hands on stuff.”  The interest in the »

Fantastic International Trailer For ‘The Wolverine’

12 June 2013 10:35 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

The Wolverine may be a big name hitter this summer, but many will be approaching the film with some trepidation after X-men: The Last Stand & X-men Origins: Wolverine, no matter how good X-men: First Class was. I’ve been cautiously optimistic, but this is the first trailer I’ve seen that really seems to nail the tone and make me think that this may very well be the best superhero film of the year. The story and action seem clearer in this international trailer, as well as having a dark tone similar to X2. Only time will tell, but this has inspired me to watch all the X-men movies once again and get very excited indeed.

The Wolverine will see Hugh Jackman return to the role of the healing, adamantium clawed mutant for the 6th time. This time Logan will return to Japan to meet an old friend who lusts after his healing capabilities. »

Jonathan Ross' Golden Age Possibily Heading To Television

12 June 2013 6:29 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

Back in February 2011, Deadline reported that director Matthew Vaughn, (X-Men: First Class) was keen on Jonathan Ross' unreleased comic book concept 'Golden Age' which deals with retired superheroes. It was even reported that Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Warren Beatty were being sought for roles. However since then, not much traction has occurred on the project. Attending yesterday's London Gala premiere of 'Much Ado About Nothing', Ross gave an update on 'Golden Age' as well as a few other projects. When asked about 'America's Got Powers' he countered, "Byran Hitch, the artist is down stairs, so ask him. Book 7 should have been finished by now, he claims it's nearly finished," Ross continued (while smiling so as to take the sting out of his words). He admitted, "I haven't seen any pages from it yet. Maybe it's done, maybe it isn't." Ross then nonchalantly revealed that,"'Golden Age' »

Epic First TV Spot for Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium with Matt Damon & Jodie Foster

12 June 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Neill Blomkamp makes a highly anticipated return this year with Elysium, promising to be by far one of the best movies of 2013.

The film marks his return since his outstanding feature debut with District 9 back in 2009, and we cannot wait to see his sophomore follow-up.

Sony launched an amazing first trailer back in April, giving us a fantastic first look at the film. And now the first TV spot has made its way online, bringing us an awesome new thirty-second look at the upcoming action/sci-fi blockbuster.

11 June 2013 11:20 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

We've been inundated with video game news today as Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo kicked off this year's E3 by unveiling their latest wares - including the long-awaited Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - but tucked away among all the next-gen excitement is some news about two upcoming Ubisoft / Tom Clancy movie adaptations in Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell.

First up comes a report from Variety which suggests that Michael Bay has signed on to develop Ghost Recon for Warner Bros. through his Platinum Dunes production company, with the Transformers 4 helmer apparently open to directing the adaptation of the best-selling third person shooter series which has shifted over 24 million units since debuting back in 2001.

"These guys don’t belong to any specific organization," said Jean Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, regarding the unit of U.S. Special Forces at the centre of Ghost Recon. "They’re in the field where the U. »

Raiders Of The Lost Ark Producer Frank Marshall To Develop Assassin's Creed

11 June 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Frank Marshall is closing in on a deal to produce Assassin's Creed for New Regency and Ubisoft Motion Pictures. He has an exceptional pedigree when it comes to producing blockbusters, and his involvement should provide this movie with the level of quality that Ubisoft are taking an active role in attempting to ensure for their adaptations. Mike Lesslie has written the script for Assassin's Creed and Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) is attached to star. This is the third major piece of news about a Ubisoft movie adaptation to hit this week following the announcement that The Expendables 2's Basil Iwanyk will produce Splinter Cell and Michael Bay will do the same - and possibly even direct - Ghost Recon. »

Zoe Kravitz and Penn Badgley split after moving in together

11 June 2013 2:09 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

"After Earth" star Zoe Kravitz and her "Gossip Girl" boyfriend Penn Badgley have decided to call it quits on their relationship after nearly two years of dating. Sources tell Us Weekly, "It wasn't a sad breakup ... It's all good between them."

Penn and Zoe live together in a New York apartment, so it's probably safe to assume one or both of them will be moving out. But since the former couple's pal says things "really did end on good terms," perhaps they'll try the New York trend of going from couple to roommates.

Zoe, 24, and Penn, 26, are reportedly both focusing on their clashing film careers and "just didn't have time for each other." Badgely just wrapped "Parts Per Billion" with Josh Hartnett, and Kravitz is in Chicago working on the film adaptation of the young adult novel, "Divergent."

Penn famously dated his "Gossip Girl" co-star Blake Lively for three years before hooking up with Zoe, »

Let’s Cast Kevin Keller In The Live-Action “Archie” Movie

11 June 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

We were excited to learn that Archie would finally be making its way to the big screen in a live-action movie, but had our doubts that gay Riverdale teen Kevin Keller would be included. Well, details of the movie have been released, and there’s good news:

“It’s Archie’s coming-of-age story. Hopefully, it will be the “Archie” movie people have been anticipating for 70-plus years. And here’s a tidbit: Expect to see fan-favorites Cheryl Blossom and Kevin Keller in it, in very prominent ways.”

Of course, the bad news is … it won’t be Archie Vs. Zombies, but they can save that for the sequel.

The big dilemma now is, who should play Kevin? While you mull it over, I have a few suggestions…

Lets see … blond … freshly scrubbed … has experience playing gay … The first person I thought of was 22-year-old Chandler Massey. Plus … he knows how »
