Amy Adams as Lois Lane - Official Image
The Playlist

Well, this is a bit random, and leaves some questions to be answered but given the general lockdown surrounding anything involving Christopher Nolan, we’ll take what we can get at this point.

The first offiical image of Amy Adams as Lois Lane in “Man Of Steel” has arrived. No, we don’t know why the image, courtesy of Desde Hollywood is in black-and-white, but it does seem as if the Daily Planet has been outfitted with iPads. Will some of Zack Snyder’s film dip into black-and-white sections or if this just a bizarre decision on behalf of the international marketing team behind the…

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Fan Trailer

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Fan Trailer

I have your daily dose of awesome right here. If the two minute teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness was not enough for you, then whet your appetite with this fan made, shot for shot trailer remake by Dustin McLean (Twitter). I’m given to understand that it was shot entirely on an iPhone and the sets involve his apartment, a hair salon, models and more.

I mean seriously, SO AWESOME!

Check out the trailer, and below a side by side comparison with the original trailer. WATCH BOTH!

Joss Whedon Dreams of ‘Firefly’ Return

He sure is busy with The Avengers sequel and other Marvel Cinematic Universe properties, but Capt. Mal Reynolds, Zoe and the rest of the Firefly crew will always have a special place in Joss Whedon‘s heart. The director says he’d love to return to that world after he’s finished with The Avengers 2.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, the director stated that he’ll never let hopes of a Firefly resurrection die.

“I’ll never really accept it,” Whedon said. “And I always, in the back of my head, think, ‘What if I could get the old gang back together?’”

In regards to getting the Firefly cast…

The Flare of Abrams

The Flare of Abrams

Heh.

Now this looks more like the visual style we an expect from a J.J. Abrams version of Star Wars. I really hope and pray not, but he seems to steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that he was completely overused a cool effect and let it take over his films.

In any event, this is pretty funny.

Maria Hill a Possibility for S.H.I.E.L.D.

In a recent interview with I Am Rogue, the actress discussed the sequel and, more interestingly, the definite possibility for her to appear in Marvel’s TV adaptation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

...

On whether Maria Hill could appear in Joss Whedon-directed S.H.I.E.L.D. small-screen adaptation, Cobie Smulders states,

“The commitments to How I Met Your Mother don’t affect it. And I can’t really say, but there are definite talks about it.”

And:

“Oh yeah! I’m very excited. I will do Maria Hill until they fire me and hire someone else to do it.”

She was one of the more enjoyable…

‘Star Wars Into Darkness’ - Mashup

‘Star Wars Into Darkness’ - Mashup

Oh man, I want to watch that film!

This is likely only the first of many such mashups. In fact, once Star Trek Into Darkness is released, I expect there to be whole film adaptions and mashups, or at least short film length mashups.

Anyway, this perhaps can give you just an idea of what we’re in for — although there just are not enough lens flares present here to be a completely accurate representation of what Abrams will bring to Star Wars.

“Evidence suggests that there are currently multiple people existing in the world who are compelled, for some reason, to think and even speak to others about this subject, as though it were some sort of biological imperative,” said NYU sociology professor Dr. Herbert Winslow, who went on to explain that several of these humans are even displaying visible signs of demonstrable emotions such as anger, joy, and disappointment over the Star Trek director’s involvement in the film series. “We can also safely assume that this very same subsection of humans is, at this moment, feeling a more…

Portal Gun - Fact or Fictional

This is fun, and I’ve posted stuff from Fact or Fictional before, and I’ve talked about Portal before. Well, I’ve talked about GLaDOS from Portal before, specifically as it relates to Pacific Rim. So this is related, right? Right?!?

Look, just go with me on this, it’s related.

Have fun:

Speculation on J.J.‘s ‘Star Wars’

Speculation on J.J.‘s ‘Star Wars’
The Playlist - Indiewire.com

With the news arriving yesterday that “Lost” co-creator and “Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams will take over from George Lucas and direct “Star Wars: Episode VII,” the first in a planned platoon of new “Star Wars” features from Disney, it inevitably means speculation about what, exactly, such a decision will mean for the franchise.

This is, after all, a series that has been almost exclusively under the control of a single man since the original debuted back in 1977 (the two sequels from the original trilogy were directed by journeyman filmmakers under the tight authorial control of…

Twitter kind of exploded with the news yesterday. And when I say “kind of” I mean every single person I follow was talking about it. Well maybe no everyone but it sure seemed like it.

Here is a collection of some of the tweets in the aftermath.
