Ant-Man Test Footage Leaked Online!

Last year at San Diego Comic-Con 2012, director Edgar Wright showed some apparently awesome test footage (it is, I can vouch for it now), and we who couldn't attend didn't get a chance to see it. That is changed now! Yesterday the footage was leaked online after they screened it again over in the UK at "The Best of BUG" event. I don't know what that is exactly,but that is besides the point of the story. The big thing is someone videotaped the footage and posted it online for us all to see. Disney has made it very clear they don't want it online by taking it down everywhere by today….well almost everywhere that is. I have found a link that works!! (for now).

Video is after jump. Make sure to check out it is awesome!

Scott Gimple is New Showrunner for The Walking Dead


AMC has had quite a hard time on keeping a showrunner for the mega-hit series The Walking Dead over just three seasons. First they loose creator/first showrunner Frank Darabont during season 2 (due to conflicts). Then, a few weeks ago, replacement showrunner Glen Mazzara announced he would leave after completing season 3. That is not looking too good for this hit show, but today TV Line gave the news that current supervising producer Scott Gimple will take over the undead reigns starting with season 4. 

Mazzara stated only "over a difference of opinion" as the reason for leaving the show after he made quite possibly the best season of the show. That really is hard to get a straight reason for leaving, but we heard everything from him getting into it with creator Robert Kirkman to difference with AMC over where to go next. Lets hope Gimple can keep the show fresh and awesome like this season has been. 

The Walking Dead returns February 10th

The Collection Trailer and Cool Banner!

I am a really big fan of the first film The Collector because it is awesome crazy story to have a thief break into a house the same night a freak has made the house a looney toon style death trap in every room with the family stuck inside. Awesome. Well, This film is getting a sequel called The Collection (catchy, I know). The action looks great with some great set-ups and deaths to come, but maybe a little too similar to Saw. Maybe thats the plan to make a new franchise with it. I would love that!
Synopsis: When Elena’s (Emma Fitzpatrick) friends take her to a secret party at an undisclosed location, she never imagined she would become the latest victim of The Collector, a psychopathic killer. The Collector kidnaps and transports her to an abandoned hotel he’s transformed into his own private maze of torture and death. Upon learning of his daughter’s disappearance, Elena’s wealthy father (Christopher McDonald) hires a group of mercenaries to retrieve her from the vicious grips of The Collector. These mercenaries coerce Arkin (Josh Stewart), the only man to have escaped the wrath of this heinous monster, to lead them through the gruesome labyrinth. Now, Arkin finds himself fighting for his own life in order to save Elena. “The Collection,” directed by Marcus Dunstan and written by Dunstan and Patrick Melton, is a suspense horror film with nonstop thrills at every turn, starring Josh Stewart (The Dark Knight Rises), Emma Fitzpatrick (The Social Network), and Christopher McDonald (Requiem for a Dream).
The Collection hits theaters on November 30th

Daredevil going to Marvel, Director Joe Carnahan Pitch

It's been a long last week with Daredevil being the center of attention for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios. Like I posted last week with the Marvel Swap and earlier with Daredevil being dead. Now, its basically official that Daredevil is going home to Marvel! or at least Variety says so.

Reports say that the extension on the deadline for the film by 20th Century Fox was rejected. So with no time to get the film set up after they turned down the pitch by Joe Carnahan. 

Joe Carnahan did release some trailers he put together and had shown them to studio executives on monday. They include the PG-13 and NC-17 trailers with little difference, but a very cool idea of it being in the 70's. The trailer just puts scenes from movies and comics together to give a feel for what it would be like. Not bad if I do say so. 

Here are the pitch videos that Joe said went over great with everyone but just wasn't the right time. I say give the same pitch to Marvel in 2 months while wearing a Marvel/ Howard Duck shirt to show your a true fan. They will love it.

Gamescom: Injustice: Gods Among Us Trailer

A brand-new trailer from Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Entertaiment's new "Mortal Kombat" fighting style game Injustice: Gods Among Us gets a brand-new Catwoman themed trailer today. I have to say the game looks really good better than DC Vs. Mortal Kombat.

The game is made by NetherRealm, who make the Mortal Kombat games. So expect some awesomeness. The cast of characters include Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Solomon Grundy and many others. This is epic.

Here is the trailer

First Red Dawn Trailer

The first trailer for the very long delayed remake film Red Dawn has finally hit the web and I will say it actually looks pretty awesome! I had doubts over the past few years.

Red Dawn is a remake of the classic 1984 film, but the plot has been updated because the Cold War isn't going on anymore.(or is it?! hmm). The main invaders were China but they noticed China is big factor in box office so they changed them to North Korea. I think it was a good choice for this film to be delayed because Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are big stars now and can bank off that. (Sorry skinny Josh from Drake & Josh and Conner Cruise).

In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky – shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

Red Dawn invades into theaters on November 21st    GO Wolverines!!!

Comic-Con: Godzilla Panel and Poster

A very special surprise at Warner Bros. Hall H panel today was the very awesome trailer shown for Godzilla reboot! Directed by Gareth Edwards the reboot will be pay great homage to the original Japanese films.

The trailer that was shown at SDCC included footage of a city that was demolished and we see a giant monster body in the wreckage of the city. Then we hear the classic Godzilla scream while watching something big coming out of smoke and we see from behind its Godzilla's back all scaly. Then a shot of his face! Many say the face looks like the classic Zilla but with more meat to it.

The trailer is actually just test footage, but I hear it is quite amazing!! Gareth knows what he is doing and I can't wait to see where this film will go.

Godzilla will reach land in 2014

here is the SDCC poster released today during the panel

Comic-Con: Man of Steel Panel Recap!

After that spectacular first look at Pacific Rim we were blessed with first look at footage or anything of Zack Snyder's Superman reboot film Man of Steel! Snyder is no stranger to Comic-Con or Hall H with previous films Watchmen and Sucker Punch. We were finally blessed with a trailer of Man of Steel and  new poster (below).

The trailer that was shown started with a few shots around a farm and a young Clark Kent walking towards the woods with a bag. We hear a voice over with Clark Kent, Jor-El (Russell Crowe), Pa Kent (Kevin Costner) saying something about how people will be afraid of what they don't understand.

Next comes a few quick shots of Lois Lane kissing Superman, Jor-El, and a brief look at General Zod! (Snyder still won't admit he is the main villain). Then some more shots of Clark as a kid wearing a red towel. Then a scene where he is saving a school bus that crashed. Cut's to Clark seeing the ship in the barn and even meeting Jor-El in the Fortress of Solitude. A very quick shot at The Daily Planet in an elevator. The most sought after footage of Superman flying and going through the clouds.

The best news is to expect the trailer to be released before The Dark Knight Rises on Friday!!!

Man of Steel flies into theaters on June 14, 2013

Here is the SDCC poster!

Comic Con: First Look at Iron Man 3 Armor!!

Comic-Con has been in full swing for a few days now and so much information and announcements are bound to happen each day that it's been a little hard to keep up. Especially when my internet is out most of time during the worst week of all time! So I will try to get as many post in as possible and do a recap of day's biggest announcements. Bare with me on this endeavor. 

The Marvel Booth has the yearly display of the Iron Man Armor and today they surprised us with a new display of armor from Iron Man 3! The armor is a different look than what we are used too with changing the red with slight bit of gold into a mostly gold with some red in it. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of it, but it's not horrible. Check it out for yourself. 

Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3, 2013

Here is the official photo from The Avengers Facebook page

The Vow Review

"The Vow is one of the best romance movies released in recent years with great cast and uplifting story."

The Vow is about a couple Leo (Channing Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams) that are madly in love and are in a terrible car accident. Leo makes it out fine but she ended up with a bad head injury and she lost all recent memories from within the last 4 years including Leo and her marriage. Leo sets out to help her see the love they share and never gives up on getting her back.

I will admit I am a sucker for a lot of romance movies from all different backgrounds like Titanic, While You Were Sleeping, and The Notebook. So naturally I wouldn't mind seeing The Vow with my amazing girlfriend and get major boyfriend points. I've heard a lot about the movie from friends that all say it will make you cry and its so adorable. So we had to find out what all the fuss is about and i will say we were kind of shocked we didn't cry like everyone said we would. Sure it was sad, but the story has more of uplifting side to bad thing that happened and it's really quite nice to see that instead of a movie that just does sad things to get tears from the audience. The Vow has heart in it.

The casting of Rachel McAdams as Paige is every girls dream because of her previous romance film role in The Notebook (I know she is my girlfriends favorite actress because of it). She is the best woman for the job by a long shot. She brings a certain lovable quality to Paige that makes you really like her and can see her love for Leo and frightfulness when she is brought into an environment she isn't familiar with anymore. Although, there are sometimes in the film that you just want to tell her she is doing something wrong and yell "just remember already, Leo needs you!".

Leo is played by Channing Tatum to some of the girls liking from back in Dear John. I'm not the biggest fan of Channing because he isn't the greatest actor around but if he's hot and has a six pack then he's perfect for a romance movie. He has really proven himself in this film as an actor. He still has some learning to do but you still feel all the emotions he feels in the film along with him. He is a man of great heart and will never give up on his wife because of true love and his vows.

The title "The Vow" is pretty great considering that in his vow for her is really just foreshadowing events that will happen later. He said "I vow to love you, and no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other." Now, that is pretty eerie and dead on. He really did keep trying like crazy going from embarrassing himself to ruining his career. It's crazy to imagine that this could happen. Leo is every girls dream guy that will never give up on the girl he loves. I really do believe it would be hard but when you just love a girl to death than I would do whatever it took to get her back because she is my home and always will be.

The Vow isn't the best romance film ever made but by far isn't the worst. It is very charming and great story about love and the search to find it again. If I would've cried it would for sure would be getting an A but I must give it a

B+

4 Images From Dredd!!

Dredd (short for Judge Dredd) isn't going to like the original film at all hopefully. This film just looks badass from these images and I will say Karl Urban is absolutely perfect for Judge Dredd. Great jawline and mouth. That wasn't creepy one bit. The greatest news I heard about the film is Dredd will not remove his mask or kiss is co-star. Sweet!! This will be the real Judge Dredd. That the Judge Judy version of the original.

Dredd punishes into theaters on September 21





More to come

The Lucky One Trailer and Poster

I know this post might be a little late for some of you Sparks loving fanatics but I promised my amazing girlfriend I would do a post on The Lucky One. This is for you Megan :) Nicholas Sparks is better known for books such as The Notebook (my girlfriends favorite movie), The Last Song, Dear John, and A Walk to Remember. So basically every girls wet dream movies and maybe a few guys out there. I mean they are no Titanic tho. Perfect Soundtrack film with The Notebook by the way wink wink

U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Zac Efron) returns to North Carolina from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive-a photograph he found of a woman he doesn't even know. Learning her name is Beth (Taylor Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. Despite her initial mistrust and the complications in her life, a romance develops between them, giving Logan hope that Beth could be much more than his good luck charm.

Step Up 4 Teaser Trailer

So I don't know about you but I'm a avid fan of the Step Up series, don't get me wrong the plot is just horrible on them all but the dance sequences are amazing. Step 3D was actually a pretty awesome movie visually. So now we got Step Up 4 not 4D (thank god because we don't want sweat in our faces) coming this summer. The plot is probably bad but the backdrop of Miami and we will get flash mobs people! flash mobs! dancing to the extreme right there.

Step Up 4 dances into theaters July 27

Resident Evil: Retribution Poster and Banner !!

After a pretty BA first film, awesome second, and okay third and even watchable fourth film, we will be given a fifth one. Resident Evil: Retribution or cleverly spelled "Re5ident Evil: Retribution will still have Alice fighting zombies and have some back story added into it. I will likely see this film just for that but come on this is like trying to continue a series that has run it's course. The horse died a bit ago but your gonna keep kicking him across the track to the finish line. 

I will say the poster is pretty cool

Resident Evil: Retribution will hit theaters on September 14

Frank Darabont Developing L.A. Noir for TNT

After leaving the phenomenal drama/horror The Walking Dead after season 1, Frank must be dying to get a new show off the ground. Well he has found that project and it's for TNT. The show is an adaptation of a book called L.A. Noir by John Buntin. (not the game sorry fellow gamers) I am very excited to see him show running another great series soon.


Darabont will write and direct the pilot while being executive producer for the entire series. Pretty involved there aren't we Frank. I'm glad to see him back in full swing.

The series will follow a former police chief William Parker and mobster Mickey Cohen for control of the luchsious Los Angeles in the 40's and 50's. The time period will reflect "a world of glamorous movie stars, powerful studio heads, returning war heroes, a powerful and corrupt police force and an even more dangerous criminal network determined to make L.A. its West Coast base."


I can't wait to see this show whenever it hits the waves.

The Bourne Legacy Poster is Lackluster

We were given the pretty boring image of the main star Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross with a death stare.  Now we have been truly blessed with a poster for the film that is lackluster to say the least. The poster has nothing good to it with a slogan of "prepare for the unexpected". That is class A marketing there I tell you. Dumbest slogan in a long time. I know this movie will do amazing but come on.

Here is the lackluster poster for your viewing (I just found out it isn't a final poster.)

The Bourne Legacy hits theaters on August 3rd

First Look at The Bourne Legacy

USA Today has released the first image from the next film the Bourne series The Bourne Legacy. The image is of new main character Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) featuring a pretty badass death stare. The new film will not feature Matt Damon at all and is set in the same universe. Pretty complicated I know. All I know is Renner is going to kick ass and do an amazing job with the Renner hair and a sweet supporting cast including Rachel Weisz, Oscar Isaac, and villain Edward Norton.

The Bourne Legacy hits theaters on August 3rd

Most Anticipated Films of 2012

2012 is here and It will be full of huge blockbusters of all sorts. I won't be surprised if this year will break records in all categories. Here is a list of some of the biggest anticipated films in order of release date not rank. My number one ranked film is The Dark Knight Rises for your information (the 8 times I'll see it will prove that.)

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (March 2)

This isn't that child fairytale we have all been told by our grandparents, this is a brutal action film that will hopefully be awesome. Not to much has been revealed on the film, even though the release is 3 months away. This is a bit scary but I'll give anything with Jeremy Renner a fighting chance. A trailer should be released very soon. Keep a look out.


21 Jump Street (March 16)

Jonah Hill skinny. Enough said. Seriously though it can get tiring with having old 80s sitcoms being made into movies but with comedy angle to it. Some work, most have no chance. I will give this movie a chance with a great cast and a pretty good story. After watching the red band trailer, you will want to see this film too.


The Hunger Games (March 23)

This is the next big teen blockbuster to take the reigns from Twilight or so they hope. The story is actually pretty promising for more than just girls this time. Also, they have some good actors in this movie. So check it out in March. 


American Reunion (April 6)

The next chapter in the popular American Pie series, but this one will return to the original cast and theaters again. I'm excited to see Stifler and everyone back for a high school reunion. Trailer proves there is some pretty crazy things going on since the last time and crazy things will happen.


The Cabin in the Woods (April 13) 

Finally!! Finally this movie will be released in theaters. After years of being delayed and pushed back and converted in 3D it will hit theaters in a few months. Joss Whedon will be having a great year with 2 movies being released within a few months of each other. Cabin is a twisted horror like movie that I think will turn out really well done.


The Avengers (May 4)

Quite easily the biggest film of 2012 to comic book nerds. It will bring all of The Avengers together for the first time and it will be glorious. I get more Iron Man and more Hawkeye, what more is there for me. Just be ready for when they assemble.


Prometheus (June 8)

Nothing can really be known about this movie other than it will be along the lines of Alien. The trailer even makes it seem like a remake or reboot or prequel. You choose. The actors are all phenomenal and this will be a movie that will make believers out of the doubters. 


The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3) 

Bless Marc Webb for rebooting Spider-Man into what looks like a spectacular movie. The series really needed to go back to the high-school years and explore that era. This film has the talent to make that happen perfectly. Also, I can't wait to take my girlfriend to see it. 


The Dark Knight Rises (July 20)

I have waited years for this film to finally get released. I mean years. This is the end of the best superhero trilogy of all time, and I think it will go out with a huge bang. The trailer gives up chills and it will be a huge hit. I'll let you know how it is after a few (8 at least) times of seeing it. 



The Bourne Legacy (August 3) 

After 3 really amazing Bourne movies it is time to move on to the next assassin and it's the amazing Renner again. His 3rd movie on my list and I suspect he will have an amazing year with his films. Not much is known about the film other than it's not a sequel or reboot, but a story set in same universe. So I am very intrigued. 

NO PIC OR TRAILER YET 
(TBA)


The Hobbit (December 14)

After the extremely amazing (long) Lord of the Rings trilogy is finished, we felt like we needed a sequel of some sorts. Well, we will be blessed with a prequel that is full of adventure and dwarfs. The story is so grand we will need 2 films. (Thank god it is not 3 this time) The film looks epic to say the least. 



This is a very opinionated list from me and I know there are plenty of movies that everyone is looking forward to see. So list yours down below, may it be (hopefully not) Twilight or another major film.
