Godzilla IMAX Poster and Cool Japanese Trailer!


I really have to hand it to the Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures marketing team for creating this fantastic mystery and coolness around Godzilla. The film looks so amazing and intriguing without giving away hardly anything about the plot or the full Godzilla. I mean, do we really need to know more than Godzilla is back and fighting other monsters? We already know that right? Thank you marketing team for making this film jump ahead 20 spots to be in the Top 5 anticipated of the year.

They released this stunning IMAX poster for the film that has some pretty great homage to Japan. The new trailer doesn't offer anymore of the plot but gives us some new scenes that are pretty awesome.

 Trailer and Poster VIA Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures and Collider.com

Check out the great Japanese trailer after the jump!

Watch Scene from Son of Batman Movie + Interview with Jason O'Mara


DC All Access released a video that includes a pretty funny interview with Batman himself, Jason O'Mara, and a exclusive clip from the Son of Batman animated movie. Also, stick around til end of video to get some pretty cool news from other DC comics interviews and news.

Son of Batman is based on Grant Morrison's storyline that introduced us to the anti-lovable son of Bruce Wayne, Damian Wayne. I personally love the little d-bag kid but thats just me (and like everyone else...but I ask myself why all the time...)

The cast of great voices include the return of Jason O'Mara as Batman, Morena Baccarin as Talia Al Ghul, Thomas Gibson as Deathstroke, and Giancarlo Esposito (Gus from Breaking Bad) as Ra's Al Ghul. That is quite the cast!

Son of Batman will hit Video (who says Video anymore) on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and Digital Download on May 6th.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer is Online Now!


Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today and I have to say it looks like a Michael Bay produced film. That's not necessarily a bad thing, ok leaning towards it but not fully. We get our first real look at the CGI turtles and its a toss-up at this point.

Synopsis from SuperheroHype -- Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder (William Fitchner) and his evil Foot Clan have  everything from the police to the politicians in their pocket. The future is dark until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save the city and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will hit theaters on May 16th

Here is the trailer below! What are your thoughts of on the Turtles?

First Trailer for Brett Ratner's Hercules

CinemaCon is this week and it started with a bang last night with the premiere of Brett Ratner's Hercules starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the man himself.

 Its based on the Radical Studios graphic novel "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" from a few years back and by the looks of it, we have some good action coming are way later this summer.

The Rock has said that even with the serious tone portrayed in the trailer, there will be some fun to be had with one-liners and other similar things. That is a trademark of Ratner, to put humor in everything. The jokes on us I guess with X-Men: The Last Stand. (Great title, terrible movie).

Hercules will hit theaters in 2D and 3D on July 25th

New X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer + Poster


20th Century Fox is stepping up the marketing and showing off just how awesomely dark and action packed X-Men: Days of Future Past is going to be. They released a new darker trailer for it along with a well....let's put it as ill-advised layered poster. *Prof. X is farting a trail of fire by the looks of it*.

Wolverine has his consciousness sent back to 1973 to convince and help young Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and the rest of the First Class team stop Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) from starting the rise of the Sentinels, giant cool robots programmed to kill all mutants.

Days of Future Past will have the "big comic-book tentpole film of the summer" in it's sights when it hits theaters on May 23rd.

R.I.P. Harold Ramis (1944-2014)



Famed director, writer, and actor Harold Ramis passed away at the age of 69 today. He was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. He was battling a rare illness called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is swelling of blood vessels.

 This man was a pioneer of modern age comedy starting with his roots as a writer on the classic Animal House and on. He gained entrance to all the nerds hearts on camera with his character Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Ramis had one hell of a funny mind and taste for humor on screen with classic many didn't know he directed including National Lampoon's Vacation, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day. All great comedy classics in my book as well as all comedy fans. Not just fans that enjoy to watch them but to make them. He was big influences on current big comedians Jay Roach, Judd Apatow, and Seth Rogan, just to name a few. He will always be a pioneer and remembered for the work he has done to make us laugh and enjoy life.

Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer is Here and its Oddly Awesome!!


Our wait is over!! Marvel Unvieled the first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a little bit ago and it's oddly awesome in every way. Nothing like previous Marvel movies.

I'm really impressed by this movie and I find myself wanting to see it even more now because of it. The humor is great and takes great hold on the tone of the film in just the 2 min trailer. Don't get me wrong, the humor will throw some off...ok probably a lot off...but we have to give it a chance, just like Marvel Studios did getting it made.

   

New Official Pics from Guardians of the Galaxy + Trailer Premiere Tonight!

Big news this week with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (GofG)! Not only are we promised a trailer soon (more news farther in article...don't skip just read), we have some official pics that are pretty cool!

USA Today has released the images earlier and they aren't the most revealing but show some great shots of our heroes and their trusty spaceship. GotG will be one hell of a ride!


The rest are after the jump along with a special 15 sec teaser of the trailer! Don't miss out I mean it!

R.I.P. Phillip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014)

Reports are coming in that Oscar-winning director/actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Greenwhich Village apartment earlier today. He was only 46 years old...

Although, the full story of what happened to him has not been officially released yet, multiple sources are reporting he was found dead with a needle still in his arm. The New York Times cited law enforcement stated " “Investigators found a syringe in his arm and an envelope containing what is believed to be heroin.” 

He was found by close friend, screenwriter David Kraz, who was worried when he couldn't get in touch with Hoffman. Substance abuse is known with Hoffman, who had previously checked into rehab last summer to battle it. 

He will be remembered as one of the greatest actors of this generation with roles other than Oscar-winning Capote. He has a screen presents that will shock and awe anyone who watches this man perform. He made characters, that were forgettable, memorable for all. Reports are saying he only had 7 days left of filming of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and 2. They will be released on set dates. 

He will be greatly missed.

Jupiter Ascending Trailer is Pretty Wachowski Awesome


Warner Bros. released the first trailer for Lana and Andy Wachowski's newest sci-fi movie Jupiter Ascending. Behold, the return of the Wachowski brot....I mean...siblings...to the world of sci-fi that made them. Just watching the trailer unfold with the fantastical universe of JA, I got chills hoping this will be the followup to The Matrix I always wanted. Yes, even with Channing Tatum starring in it. He's gaining respect with his recent roles and this might be the one that pushes him over the line.

"From the streets of Chicago to the far-flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos."

Teaser Trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is Here


Sony Pictures released the teaser trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 today and I have to say its not as much teasing as it is revealing! My god Sony why ruin some key post credit moments?! Or we all can be freaking out over something that is in the first 5 min...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer shows us a lot more than I thought it would. It plays on the whole having 3 villains thing a lot. Also a shot that looks like a mid-credit scene too!

It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.


Trailer and Still of little easter egg after jump!

First RoboCop Trailer is Awesome!

Columbia Pictures and MGM have just unveiled the pretty sweet trailer to the much hyped remake film RoboCop directed by Jose Padilha. I had my doubts about remaking the film from the start but now seeing some footage it has eased most of my doubts. I only hope they get the subtle satire undertones from the original one.

Official Synopsis from SuperheroHype "In the film, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex's life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before."

Expect to drop your weapons on February 7, 2014

Casting: Bradley Cooper Cast as Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy


Marvel is stepping it up with the casting this week! First James Spader and now the much hyped Rocket Raccoon cast is finally finished. Pretty boy Bradley Cooper has been chosen to take on the very humorous Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the choice and he was on my top 6 list (where at on it? that doesn't matter).

Guardians of the Galaxy will hit theaters on August 1, 2014. Less than a year! 

Do you think he could pull it off? Who would you chose?

Garth Ennis In "Early Stages" Of A Brand New 'Punisher' Mini-Series!


The Punisher is what got me into comics in the first place. The 2004 film with Thomas Jane drew me down to the local comic shop to get some issues. Fortunately Garth Ennis was doing the Punisher MAX series that was sooo amazing at the time, I literally have every issue. Great violent gritty real world series. Especially for a 13 year old right!? My parents were very protective of me. They were strict enough to let me go to sleep every night when I was 5 watching The Terminator 2. I know very protective but hey what can you do?

In a recent interview with comiXologist podcast, he stated "I will be starting work on another 'Punisher' miniseries quite soon, that'll probably come out sometime next year," Ennis said on the podcast. "That's at the very early stages."

I love that news so much! My favorite Punisher writer coming back to visit a character he added so much to and has been away from so much. 

Are you excited as I am? I know you are! 

Bad Robot Releases Mystery Trailer Titled 'Stranger'


J.J. Abrams really knows how to be a secret kind of guy and it really gets the internet going on trying to figure it out. It started years ago and really took off with Cloverfield. I watched that damn trailer like 50 million times and only watched the movie like 3 1/2 times maybe? I don't know maybe 2/3. I was tired ok! He really has done it this time.

Randomly a new trailer was released for a secret project and it is elegant and beautiful in every way. The soothing voice of a scottish…english?…Well that area person and the great cinematography. Check it out below and tell us what you think it could be?

Is it original piece or adaptation of something? Lets go internet!

The Mystery Trailer is after the Jump!

David S. Goyer Gives Title ideas for Man of Steel Sequel Featuring Batman!


Warner Bros. blew everyone out of the water last weekend when they announced that the sequel to Man of Steel will feature the eagerly wanted return of Batman to the silver screen. I honestly don't know how somebody could not be freaking out right now at the thought of this actually happening!

Man of Steel scribe David S. Goyer was announced to return for the sequel featuring Batman. He gave a little interview and some thoughts on what the title could possibly end of being.
 "So the next film we’re making, we’re already in pre-production, comes out in summer of 2015 and it’s–we’re actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, it’s–that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that’s happening.”
 Also, reports are coming in that WB bought the domains for SupermanVsBatman.com, BatmanVsSuperman, and BatmanVsSupermanMovie.com. I can only imagine the team of guys staring a board with two names and taking votes on which one. I would just close my eyes and aim and hopefully hit the board (area). Quite an accomplishment in my book.

More news to follow! What do you think it should be titled?

Comic-Con: Superman/Batman Officially Announced!!

Holy S@#$ Batman!! Warner Bros. Just announced something that will blow away any doubts it would ever happen. After so many years of rumors and nothing happening, Warner Bros. announced at the end of the pretty spectacular panel that a Man of Steel sequel will be made. Just not any old sequel. It's a Superman/Batman Worlds Finest movie!!

Ok this just blew me away. I knew they wanted to do something with Batman before Justice League but not the epic Superman/Batman movie.

At the end of the panel, they pulled a "oh one more thing" and Zack Snyder pops up on stage and thanks for the support of Man of Steel. He than announces Man of Steel sequel with
“It’s official that we are gonna make another Superman movie… The truth is you don’t want me to tell you what the movie’s about, but I can say that maybe there’s a single element that will be in the film that I could help you out with…”
Then, Man of Steel star Harry Lennix comes out to read a passage from Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns.
He reads "“I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments. I want you to remember my hand at your throat.  I want you to remember the one man who beat you.”
Than the lights go out and a logo pops up on screen showing the Batman symbol behind the "S" Shield!! Superman/Batman is officially on people!!

Here is the logo that popped up on screen

Comic-Con: Fantastic Godzilla Poster with Viral Marketing!

San Diego Comic-Con isn't even here yet and so much news and hype is coming out of San Diego. Godzilla has had a presence at the Con for the last couple of years and has been getting bigger every year. This year they are taking a major leap into events and viral marketing that is rich in content. Reminds me of Cloverfield viral marketing.

Warner Bros. released a crazy awesome poster for the film and I'm getting super excited about this film more and more. They will have a pretty giant presence at SDCC this year and it will only get better.


UPDATE: Viral Marketing

Viral marketing has been pretty huge on Godzilla lately and stuff has been going down all day today for it. They have been getting updates over last couple of days that include a random letter here and there in bold red. A new update allows SDCC badge holders to put in those letters as secret code "SERIZAWA" into www.godzillaencounter.ticketleap.com to get tickets to a epic encounter later this week.

Random Fact: Dr. Daisuke Serizawa is the name of the scientist in the original 1954 Godzilla film. History lesson of day folks.

More news to follow what this event will hold!

SDCC is here almost!

'Girl Meets World' Picked Up by Disney! First Images Released


Its Official: Disney Channel has picked the spinoff show Girl Meets World for series in 2014. That means that the original series Boy Meets World will live on and have everyone back for another go around. I'm 90s kid smitten right now. (Considering I was 8 when the show ended, hey I watched tons of re-runs in my day!)

The series will revolve around Ben Savage and Danielle Fischel's, Cory and Topanga's, daughter Riley in her tween years just like the original show did her parents. Seems only worthy it will happen that way. I haven't watched anything on Disney Channel in years, but I might make a stop by to check this out.

Cast members of the original series are expected to stop by here and there though out, with even the amazing Mr. Feeny in the pilot. Now, we just need cory's parents and brother Eric. I wonder what ever happened to his character in the universe? We must find out!

The series will air sometime in 2014. What do you guys think about it? Good to see old faces on Disney or will it crash?
