However, when Berg sounded pretty excited about directing Hancock 2 , that was before he landed the Battleship gig , a big-screen adaptation set for release in 2011 with a production start date of Spring 2010. That ties Berg up a lot for what I would guess would be the better part of a year. And that appears to be one of the big reasons why we shouldn’t expect Hancock 2 anytime s

This is NOT really a superhero movie in the sense that we’ve come to know the genre. It’s not X-Men or Spider-Man – it’s not even The Dark Knight … it’s really more of a murder mystery with a bit of superhero action thrown in for fla

There’s been much talk about a sequel to the 2008 surprise superhero hit, Hancock , with conversation picking up particularly when it comes to the cast of Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman possibly returning to do another. Director Peter Berg said a few months ago that everyone was excited to return , but not long after that Bateman came out and said he hadn’t heard anything about him returning (we’re still not sure if that cluelessness was applicable to Smith and Theron, t

I went on to say that McHattie (arguably the best actor in the film besides Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach) deserved more screen time than he got in Watchmen , and how it was especially disappointing that his climatic death had been axed from the theatrical vers

Those who check film credits as part of their movie-watching routine know that prior to Pan’s Labyrinth Guillermo helmed the excellent and under-talked-about Hellboy (and, of course, its sequel, The Golden Army ). He’s went from being known simply by the more avid fan, to getting the full attention of film fans everywhere, particularly when Peter Jackson handpicked him to helm the upcoming two-part adaptation of The Hobbit , arguably the most anticipated film project of any that’s upcom

So for some time now Watchmen director Zack Snyder has been saying there would be two versions of Watchmen released on DVD/Blu-ray: a directors cut, featuring the full-length version of Watchmen not shown in theaters, as well as an “ultimate edition” of the film, which would include the full-lentgh film interwoven with the animated Tales of the Black Freighter side-story, just like in the original graphic no

So what didn’t work? I thought that both Malin Akerman and Carla Gugino were quite weak. Akerman’s performance came across as pretty shallow to me, and Gugino’s first real scene in the film as an old woman almost had me laughing out loud because it seemed so campy. I could take or leave Patrick Wilson’s performance – maybe it was just the character he was playing that left me c

After learning that Watchmen: The Director’s Cut will be coming to DVD/Blu-ray (and three movie theaters) this month, we now have the first details of what Watchmen: Ultimate Collector’s Edition will be all about, as well as a highly-anticipated deleted scene from the full-length film: Check out the death of Nite Owl!It’s funny, last week I wrote a post about the new scenes featured in Watchmen: The Director’s Cut . In that post I made special mention of the fact that in the Watchmen graphic novel, one of the keystone story elements was the life (and subsequent violent death) of Hollis Mason, the first Nite Owl, who is wonderfully portrayed in the film (and the “Under The Hood” documentary tie-in) by Stephen McHat

“Think about the way oral tradition became written word-how what we know about Achilles was written many, many years after it made its way around the world with different names and different types of heroes. That can happen when you allow content to keep propagating itself through different kinds of platforms and engines-when you permit it to be retold with a promiscuous form of mythology. You see it when people create their own avatars in games and transfigure their game worl

On top of The Hobbit – which is going to be one time-consuming, exhaustive challenge to say the least (just think about the pressure he’s under to “get it right”) – he also has found the time to plan and start writing a trilogy of vampire novels, has a four-picture deal with Universal to make a Frankenstein movie, an adaptation the classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five , a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie, and an adaptation of the vampire novel Drood . After that, Universal hopes to pin him down for his “pet project” At the Mountains of Madness . To put it simply: He’s booked solid until at least 2

Dave Gibbons: …Well, I think we deliberately left it ambiguous. There are arguments on both sides. Often, very hard decisions have to be made in the real world…So, from the heart, I would say that [ CENSORED ] was wrong. And I think he really wanted to save the world, but the problem with people of [ CENSORED ] is their ego can’t see their

2008 delivered the kind of summer that superhero movie games Mods|https://Superheromoviespot.com/ and action movie geeks dream of – this is the year that brought us three bonafide superhero movies: Iron Man , The Incredible Hulk and what was that third one… oh yeah: The Dark Knig
