The Avengers Starts Production and First Photo!

Marvel Studios released a press release on the production of the mega-anticipated film The Avengers. Also, they released a first image of production and it's not the most actiony but it is a great teaser.

Here is the image followed by the official press release:

Press Release: Production has commenced today in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Marvel Studios' highly anticipated movie "Marvel's The Avengers," directed by Joss Whedon ("Serenity") from a screenplay by Whedon.  The film will continue principal photography in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. Robert Downey, Jr. ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") returns as the iconic Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") as Thor, Chris Evans ("Captain America: The First Avenger") as Captain America, Jeremy Renner ("Thor," "The Hurt Locker") as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo ("The Kids Are Alright") as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson ("Iron Man 2") as Black Widow, Clark Gregg ("Iron Man," "Thor") as Agent Phil Coulson, and Samuel L. Jackson ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") as Nick Fury.  Set for release in the US on May 4, 2012, "Marvel's The Avengers" is the first feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk," "Iron Man 2," "Thor," and "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel's The Avengers" is the super hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

Anna Paquin and Kristin Bell Cast in Scream 4

USA Today is reporting that Anna Paquin (True Blood) and Kristin Bell (Pulse) will have cameo's in the upcoming horror film Scream 4.

Anna Paquin and Kristin Bell 

My best guess is the two will likely be the characters killed in the opening scene. It's just way to late to actually cast full roles, but just enough time to get some up-and-coming stars to have cameos in the beginning and killed within 10 minutes. 

Also, it seems that the scipt just reached 140 pages, which means Scream 4 will be graciously long enough for hardcore fans like me. It sucks that Dimension films will probably cut it down drastically after test audiences that don't care about substance say it's to long.

Some good news is Scream 4 script just hit the 140 pages, which makes me so happy. This shows that they have one awesome twist and story to tell.

More good news is the production schedule has been extended from Labor day to September 24. They have more time for reshoots and script fine-tuning.

Scream 4 stabs into theaters on April 15, 2011.

First Image From Real Steel

USA Today has released a image giving you a glimpse into the world of Real Steel. The film is a boxing drama set in the future where 2,000 pound robots box. I will admit that it sounds cool and super cheesy at the same time. I just can't wait to see the first trailer for it to get a good look at it because even though people say a picture is worth a thousand words, this picture is mostly giving me a negative vocabulary checklist. I know that it was made literally today, but try a little harder. Just look at the pic.

I first looked at it and instantly thought that Hugh Jackman was in Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots: The Movie. That sound awesome right?

(PIC) Hugh Jackman instructs a Samurai-inspired robot named "Noisy Boy." Many of the robots in the film will be depicted with motion-capture technology, although 19 animatronic doubles were created as well and will be used in filming. Cameras started rolling today. What do you think about it?

Reel Steal is set to get released on November 18, 2011.
