Godzilla Continues His Reign of Destruction in New On Set Images

21 hours ago | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

Thanks to the Daily Mail and user Cdndutchie#74 over on Flickr we're gifted with a number of new behind the scenes production snaps from Gareth Edwards' large lizard reboot 'Godzilla'. The new selection of images features a destroyed fishing village as well as terrified Japanese school children running for their lives against a large blue screen. Leaves me wondering if in fact the big 'G' is just a clumsy misunderstood reptile more than a mindless oversized beast keen on wreaking havoc. Aaron Taylor-Johnson ('Kick-Ass 2'), Elizabeth Olsen ('Silent House'), Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins ('Made in Dagenham'), David Strathairn ('Lincoln'), Ken Watanabe ('Inception'), Richard T. Jones ('Event Horizon'), Patrick Sabongui, Yuki Morita, Brian Markinson, Akira Takarada, Victor Rasuk and Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad') all face the scary scaled bastard in some form or another. »

Special Features - Are Comic Book Movies Just The Latest Trend?

21 May 2013 11:29 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Anthony Stokes explains why he thinks Comic Book Movies have become more than just the latest trend...

The last decade has been incredibly good to Comic Book Movies. Not only are there a significant amount of comic book movies coming out every year, but they're making a lot of money. Comic Book Movies used to be a once a year thing, and now they're coming within weeks of each other (this year alone sees the release of Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Kick-Ass 2, R.I.P.D., The Wolverine, Red 2, 2 Guns, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Thor: The Dark World). But all good things must come to an end eventually, right?

I would say no. Of course everything has an ebb and flow, and we may get to the point where we get back to one or two Comic Book Movies a year, but »

'Kick-Ass 3' first pages previewed by Mark Millar, John Romita Jr

13 May 2013 11:43 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Kick-Ass 3 has offered its first preview.

Pages from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's upcoming series have been previewed by Comic Book Resources.

The writer has promised that the third outing of Dave Lizewski will be his last.

"The whole plan, all along, is that Kick-Ass was about a guy growing up," said Millar. "This is a John Hughes movie meets Kill Bill.

"It's all about a rite of passage. It's about a kid whose mum has died and he's not really that enchanted with the real world. He's become absorbed in this fantasy world of comics but he's taken it to the next level and gets dressed up as these characters."

He also said that, if the title were to continue in any form, it would star Big Daddy and be set before the events of the first series.

"Kick-Ass 3 is definitely the end of everybody's story, but there »

New Film Starring Benedict Cumberbatch is Unsurprisingly Really Exceeding Crowdfunding Goal

11 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

It’s a great week for Benedict Cumberbatch. Moviegoers around the world (though not yet in the U.S.) are currently flocking to see Star Trek Into Darkness, in which he plays the villain. And another film he’s set to star in has already become a humongous success thanks to a quick crowdfunding drive at Indiegogo. The newer project is a short titled Little Favour and will feature the Sherlock Holmes star as a Ptsd-suffering man enlisted by an old friend (Harry Potter actor Nick Moran) to “help with a deal gone wrong.” With six days still remaining in the effort, Little Favour has already greatly surpassed its goal of £25,000 ($38,385) and looks to possibly triple that amount. This is a pretty remarkable achievement for a campaign that has nothing illustrating its potential, not a video nor storyboards nor any other sort of proof of concept. We don’t even know how long it’ll be. And »

Chloe Grace Moretz Will Star In The Equalizer

10 May 2013 2:47 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

In what is absolutely the coolest news you’re going to get all week, Chloe Grace Moretz is going to be in the upcoming TV refire, The Equalizer. Of course, this is a film that has been tossed around for quite a while, and I’m not sure that making it into a movie even makes the slightest bit of sense, but I’m looking forward to it now.

Having been a fan of the show when it aired, I’m not sure I really get Denzel Washington either, but whatever.

What do you think of this one? Is this going to be good? I’m not even going to ask what you think of the addition of Chloe Grace Moretz, because what you think is that it’s awesome.

 

 

 

Chloe Grace Moretz, soon to be seen in Kick-ass 2 and Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake, will portray the helpless character of the main plot. »

Hello fellow queer cinephiles!  As we enter the long, hot days of summer, everyone wants to cool off in a theater and watch other people try to save the world.  The summer tends to be a pretty testosterone-soaked season for movies, so I’m here to help you sort the films you want to be in the front row for from those you just use as an excuse to cuddle in the back.

Chloë Moretz offered 'The Equalizer' role opposite Denzel Washington

10 May 2013 9:34 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Chloë Moretz has been offered a lead role in The Equalizer.

Sony Pictures wants the Carrie star to appear opposite Denzel Washington, according to Deadline.

The film will be based on the '80s television show, which starred Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence officer with a habit of helping people in trouble.

The 16-year-old Moretz is in line for the role of Teri, a young prostitute originally written for an actress in her 20s.

Training Day director Antoine Fuqua recently signed onto the project after Nicolas Winding Refn and Rupert Wyatt both departed from The Equalizer in turn.

Moretz will next be seen in Kimberly Peirce's Carrie remake and comic book movie sequel Kick-Ass 2.

The Equalizer is currently scheduled for release on April 11, 2014.

Chloe Grace Moretz Confirmed As Female Lead In ‘The Equalizer’

10 May 2013 9:03 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Easily the best series I grew up watching during my 1980s youth was The Equalizer. There was just something majestic about the late Edward Woodward putting his retired skills to use as former operative Robert McCall in helping those in desperate need. Possibly the closest we get to see in the same spirit on American television is the Jonathan Nolan-created Person Of Interest, which I find is heavily inspired by the show which ran from 1985-89.

Well, we’ve had Denzel Washington penciled in for some time now for the big-screen reboot but a number of directors have come and gone. Drive’s Nicolas Winding Refn and Rise Of The Planet Of The ApesRupert Wyatt were both interested before negotiations fell though. We now know Training Day and Olympus Has Fallen’s Antoine Fuqua will helm the action-thriller and reunite with his Oscar-winning lead for the first time »

Could Guardians Of The Galaxy Land A Kick-Ass 2 Star?

9 May 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is probably mentioned once every five seconds somewhere in the world. Guardians Of The Galaxy is one element of that world under scrutiny as of late. Indeed, ’tis the season for the maestros of Marvel to reveal details, confirm future films and deny rumours. Marvel’s Kevin Feige sat down with EW this last week to set the record straight and dish out the official dirt on the future of their universe. What they probably didn’t have in mind was one of the stars twinkling in their sky to hop on Twitter to do it himself.

English actor, Enzo Cilenti, known for his small roles in Next, The Rum Diary and the upcoming Kick-Ass 2 has let the cat (or raccoon) out of the bag. Yesterday he announced on Twitter:

I may or may not be in #Guardiansofthegalaxy. I am sworn to secrecy so can’t say. »

‘Kick-Ass 2′ Actor Joining ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’?

9 May 2013 6:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Marvel Studios may be preoccupied with negotiations to keep Robert Downey Jr. onboard for The Avengers 2, but in the meantime, the rest of Phase Two continues to move forward.

Iron Man 3 (predictably) set the box office on fire last week, and while the upcoming Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier are almost certainly going to emerge as hits, the real question lies with next year’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

The film has already secured the bulk of its main cast, including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista. However, now Enzo Cilenti – who’s also set to appear in Kick-Ass 2 this summer – has announced on Twitter that he too has joined the film.

I may or may not be in #Guardiansofthegalaxy. I ...

'Guardians Of The Galaxy' Adds Enzo Cilenti To Cast

8 May 2013 10:35 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

by Brett White

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" cast continues to grow in sometimes unexpected ways, and we can now add Enzo Cilenti to the expanding cast list. The actor revealed his involvement via a Tweet, one that may or may not be Marvel approved (they usually keep this stuff under wraps, Enzo!).

I may or may not be in #Guardiansofthegalaxy. I am sworn to secrecy so can't say. In entirely unrelated news, "I am".

Enzo Cilenti (@EnzoCilenti) May 8, 2013

Cilenti will appear in this summer's "Kick-Ass 2" in a role that's unrevealed, much like his apparent "Guardians" one. The actor's previous credits include the film "The Fourth Kind" as well as the shows "Prisoners' Wives" and "Rome."

After securing their lead, non-animal, non-plant actors (Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista), "Guardians" has started filling out the rest of the cast. They recently cast Ophelia Lovibond in an unspecified, possibly villainous, »
