Zach Snyder Gives First Look at Batman and Batmobile

Finals are over!!! Yes! Yes! Ye..oh wait back to working on a top-notch website dedicated to movie and comics news I guess. Yes that sounds good to me because tons of big things are happening right now in the universe revolving around those things. Today is good because we get first look at Zack Snyder's Batman and batmobile.

Director Zack Snyder tweeted yesterday a little teaser image of the batmobile under a tarp prepped to be unveiled today. Well we were in for a treat!

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. 

Marvel and Fox might Swap Comic Book Characters! Story so far

This is some pretty cool and weird tactics for Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox (Fox) to get the best out of a deal over some comic book character like Daredevil and Galactus!

This whole fiasco started years ago when Marvel sold out the rights for its characters to big studios to make films. Well, in those contracts the characters will revert back to Marvel if a film based on the character is not made by a certain date. In this case, Daredevil is owned by Fox for now until October 10th this year, unless a film is in production of some sorts. Of course Fox doesn't want to rush into a big speed version of film making to produce a crap film to keep the rights. They have been in negoations of sorts with Marvel to offer a trade of characters for extended time period to make Daredevil. The characters are pretty good card for Fox to pull if they decide to play.

Marvel came up with a smart deal to get Fox to offer Marvel some Fantastic Four characters (not the core team) in that universe in exchange for a extended deadline for Daredevil. The big trade would bring the huge giant Galactus back to Marvel. This would allow for them to put him in later films, maybe even the Phase 2 Avenger films as a big villain. Marvel would really like to acquire Silver Surfer with the deal, but he is currently locked up in development of the Fantastic Four film currently in pre-production with director Josh Trank (Chronicle). This could be great news for Fox who is in talks with director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) for Daredevil.

Promo Posters for Sin City 2 and Machete Kills

Today is a huge day for those mega-fans of Sin City and Machete or Robert Rodriguez because we get our first look at the promo posters for both sequels Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Machete Kills. They both give some information that we loved hearing.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will be heading into production later this year with Mickey Rouke returning as Marv, Rosario Dawson, and many more are rumored to return but we will find out in coming weeks for sure. The best part of the poster is it shows that Frank Miller will return to co-direct with Robert Rodriguez. That is amazing in every way. I am so excited for this film to finally be made. More details on film in near future as info becomes more open about plot and casting.

Machete Kills is the sequel to the cult hit Machete (based on the short trailer). That can be confusing to some people, just know this is a sequel to a pretty raunchy action flick that was alright but awesome premise. This will see the return of Danny Trejo as Machete, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and introducing Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara, and the legendary Mel Gibson to the series. I can't wait for this film to get the return of Mel Gibson to action and movies in general. Hopefully he doesn't get kicked off set like with Hangover 2. But anyways it starts filming this month.
