Simon Kinberg Turned in Fantastic Four Script + Testing for Leads Later in Month!


A little over 4 months ago, 20th Century Fox gave screenwriter Simon Kinberg the duty to rewrite the Fantastic Four reboot script. He delivered on the deal and sent it in today! That means we are getting progress on this severely pushed back film. Thats not all the big news on it either! They said testing for main characters Reed Richards and Sue Storm will be later this month if things go right.

The screen-testing that Variety magazine says is happening will involve Miles Teller, Kit Harington, Richard Madden and a few others. I'm rooting for Richard Madden. He looks the part! Now for the other strange casting choices. They want Kate Mara and Saoirse Ronan to test for Sue Storm. They are so young and I don't want a young FF team. I want a little more seasoned team, but this news isn't the most shocking.

The only actor known to be attached to the project for some time now is Michael B. Jordan. He is a great actor and I think he could be great but this film will make some enemies not on the racial side because he's black, but because they are messing with a Marvel character that has been around forever. Fanboys don't like change, but good things can happen when you do that. No news has been said on Ben Grimm/The Thing. I don't even know if he's in the film?! I have faith in director Josh Trank and his vision for now. I only ask to make an actual great FF movie for us fans. If not, send the property back on over to Marvel for a proper film.

More news to come!

Expect to see Fantastic Four in theaters June 19, 2015

Justice League Film Script Reportedly Horrible and Scrapped

The Justice League just can't catch a break at all. After so many false starts over the years, we were finally given a date of 2015 for feature film. Well, it seems like that just won't be happening anytime soon. The script was being written by Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall and rumored to have Darkseid as villain while featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green lantern. Sounds very intriguing and Avenger beating worthy, but problem is Beall could have messed up big time with it.


Badass Digest is reporting that they have heard from numerous sources close to the project that the script is "terrible" and WB has decided to scrap it. Some of them say it will fall apart and never get made, while others say WB will keep pushing forward because the superhero team movie wagon is just so good to be on.

Apparently the script was off to a bad start and the studio was getting their minds to mixed up on who to feature. Even with all this talk of having the film, WB recently admitted that they were getting the jitters of going forward with their set 2015 date and decided to see how Man of Steel will do this year. The script was also rumored to be the biggest point why no director has signed on. They know when they got a dud or gold on their hands. (Good call Ben Affleck! Still want you to direct though…)

Guess what WB. I have a better plan for you to get the Justice League film out by 2018. First, comes Man of Steel this year, 2013. Next, skip 2014 (sorry but we want substance over rushed) and give some time for a summer release for Wonder Woman in 2015. Than, we get The Flash in 2016 along with Man of Steel 2 and Green Lantern Reboot respectively in 2017 to lead up to a epic Justice League film in 2018. Gives time between films and cameos of heroes in each (if not easter eggs like something like building of the watch tower). Also, they had it right to feature Batman again in Justice League, but maybe cameo him in Man of Steel 2 would be better introduction.

What do you guys think should be done for Justice League? Should it die or live on with a new writer?

CW Developing Smallville-Style Wonder Woman Series 'Amazon'

Wonder Woman is trying very hard to get back in big leagues with Batman and Superman. We had a failed pilot for NBC last year, A script is in-development for a feature film and she will show up in the Justice League film in 2015. Well, folks she has been granted a new development treatment for The CW.

I made this so don't think it's official..I know its pretty legit looking too.
The CW and Warner Bros. Tv are developing a new tv series based around the earlier years/origins of Wonder Woman in the style of Smallville. The Series is called Amazon and has attached the great Allan Heinberg to helm the script and take it from there. Heinberg is ,possibly, the best person for the job, being a huge tv writer for female leads (The O.C., Gilmore Girls, and Grey's Anatomy) . Also he is a great comic book writer with works including Young Avengers, and, interesting enough, the Wonder Woman series. (Yep he knows his Amazonians well).

It should be noted that the series Amazon has not been picked up for production of the series, but it's only in developmental stages and hopefully gets a great script in and pilot filmed. I actually want to see this one.

American Reunion Plot Details


Just last week we heard the news that American Pie originals Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy and Sean William Scott are coming back for a sequel to the series. Not the heartless spin-offs. The other orignal cast members in-negotiations to comeback are Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge. Maybe more will come back at later dates.

Some Australian site What's Playing got the scoop on some pretty big plot details for American Reunion.

The plot for the fourth film will for sure be like the first film with heart and of course main characters other than Sherman and Eugene Levy.

"Spoiler Alert" Don't look at the details if you want to find out from a trailer way down the road from now.
