Trailer For The Season Finale Of Fringe

Disney Confirms The Avengers 2 (That Didn't Take Long)

Cool Japanese Avengers poster

In what is a total no brainer.  Disney has officially announced that there will be an Avengers 2.  Which is pretty obvious since they revealed the big bad for the next film in the post credits sequence.  The announcement was made by Bob Iger in a conference call discussing Disney's quarterly earnings.  Wonder if the were eating schwarma at that meeting. 

Remember when comic book legend Jack Kirby was part of a mission to rescue U.S. hostages in Iran?

The plot of "The Avengers" has nothing on the plot of "Argo." You remember "Argo," right? It was a small Canadian science fiction movie in the late 1970s that took place on a desert planet. You don't remember? That's OK, because the movie was never made.

It was never made because the production of "Argo" was a cover story for a bizarre attempt by the CIA to rescue a handful of hostages who went into hiding after the U.S. embassy was seized in 1979. The idea - gain access to Iran under the guise of making a movie and then slip the hostages out with the rest of the film crew.

No, I am not making this up. Click here if you don't believe me.

To lend the mission credibility, a fake script was worked up and Jack Kirby (co-creator of X-Men and one of the giants of comic book history) was commissioned to provide concept drawings.

The movie may have a Bruce Campbell feel to it (hmmmm ... why not?), but it stars such well-known names as Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin and John Goodman. Affleck also directs. And now we have a trailer, complete with hilarious fashions from the late 1970s (talk about science fiction). All we need is a release date.

'Prometheus' spoiler?

Dark cave. Giant head. Who thought this expedition was a good idea?

Did you read the headline? It clearly says "spoiler," so continue reading at your own risk.

(Why you're reading blogs like this and acting surprised when you come across something that you interpret as a spoiler is an argument for another day.)

Anyway, Comic Book Movie has deciphered an alleged script call sheet from "Ridley Scott's "Prometheus." If the call sheet is real, and if the reading of the low-quality scan is correct, it contains a spoiler (there's that word again. Remind me: Why are you reading this?)

Spoiler after jump!

The Avengers Movie Review (Hulk Smash Spoilers)

Being a diehard Avengers fan from the 80’s I was ecstatic to hear that they were making an Avengers movie.  Having started reading the book since the mid 80’s and having a complete run of the comic book from issue 200 to present day with about a  whole bunch from the 100’s that are scattered around with holes that need to be filled.  So being a true fan of The Avengers comic book this movie was a fanboys dream comes true.  So did it hold up to expectations or was it a fanboys nightmare.

James Cameron's Next Project

The New York Times published an article that James Cameron will be doing nothing but Avatar movies over the next few years.  Not only are 2 & 3 already in the works but a 4th film is not out of the question.  More of Cameron's thoughts are printed here -

Fast Six Casting Rumor

The 6th Fast and the Furious movie would not be mentioned on this site if it were not for the rumor that David Tennant may have a part in the movie.  Tennant, you may remember, played the 10th Doctor in a series called Doctor Who.

Prometheus Rating

It has been a while since we have posted anything about Prometheus but instead of the 30th trailer we just have news that the movie will be rated "R".  Director Ridley Scott was always pushing for his vision and 20th Century Fox has decided to stick with it - good news!!!
