Director Joss Whedon almost has his pick of the litter when it comes to superheroes to cast for 'Avengers 2' there's one character he would love to include more than anyone else: Batman! But is there really any chance of this massive crossover ever happening?
Seventeen summers ago, Will Smith gave us the catch phrase "welcome to Earth" and then punched an alien in the face. This time he's the invading alien (kinda) and his new line "this is Earth" is much more doom and gloom than swagger. An international icon, father and potentially the next great crazy celebrity, Will Smith is finally ready to pass the baton to his son Jaden.
But it isn't a baton he's using in 'After Earth' (an original sci-fi film based on a story of Smith's own creation) but a C-40 Cutlass – a doohickey kinda like Darth Maul's lightsaber, which springs out different blades depending on what you need. Actually, we never quite know how the Cutlass in 'After Earth' works, but it is one of a number of really nifty gizmos that populates the half-baked mythos of this film.
To date, books, lives, records, songs, board games, video games, and coupons have served as inspirations for cinema (well, all except for the last one, that was just a 'Mr. Show' sketch). But now memes are joining that list as Grumpy Cat, the internet sensation, has been optioned as the subject for a feature film.
'World War Z' is a film about fighting zombies, and it's funny that the film has screened (and screened well) but is still fighting undead rumors about it being a total disaster. We saw the film and liked it, but it's going to need good word of mouth to be one of the hits this summer. Perhaps it will get better word with this clip, which sets up how Brad Pitt is forced into action to stop the zombie apocalypse.
With 'Guardians of the Galaxy' fast approaching the start of principle photography, the movie's cast is coming into focus. The latest addition is Glenn Close, who's set to play a character that's like the intergalactic version of Nick Fury.
'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' was a done deal when the fourth film in the franchise, 'On Stranger Tides,' grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. But it was unknown who would helm the fifth entry. And instead of returning to original franchise helmer Gore Verbinski or 'Tides' director Rob Marshall, it was just announced that the job has gone to Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.
With 'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters' only a few months away, it's time that we got down to brass tacks and started asking the important questions. Questions like "Was anyone, anywhere, actually looking forward to another 'Percy Jackson' movie?" Snark aside, the new 'Sea of Monsters' trailer goes a long way to justifying its existence by showing off lots of monsters. Lots and lots of monsters.
'Transformers 4' has promised a complete reboot for the franchise including all new robots. One classic who will return despite the new direction is the Autobots leader Optimus Prime. But even Prime isn't exempt from the reboot. The main robot character will have a completely new look in the film and director Michael Bay has revealed that new look to the fans.
Michael Bay is now shooting 'Transformers 4,' and has added new cars and a human to the production. The film just released two pictures of Autobots in car form, and announced that comic performer T.J. Miller has joined the cast.
When Tom Cruise left Guy Ritchie's 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' for 'Mission: Impossible 5,' it looked like it could possibly kill the project. But now Warner Brothers wants their new Superman Henry Cavill, the star of this summer's 'Man of Steel,' to take the role.
Earlier today we caught HBO handing out the first three episode descriptions for 'True Blood's sixth season, and now it seems that AMC's resurrected 'The Killing' has decided to do the same. Get the latest scoop on what Holder and Linden face in the first four episodes of 'The Killing' inside!
