That was deliberate, director Guillermo del Toro told the Toronto Sun. While GLaDOS actor Ellen McLain will supply an AI voice in Pacific Rim, she will sound different from the trailer. For that, Del Toro said he specifically wanted GLaDOS’ voice running down a power-up checklist before the mechas go out to confront the monsters. He even sought (and received) Valve’s permission.

“I wanted very much to have her, because I’m a big Portal fan,” he said. In the film, however, “The filter we’re using is slightly less GLaDOS. Slightly. The one in the trailer I wanted to be full-on…

I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high for this film, but it’s starting to look good to me. And man do they have the talent lined up: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, and Nick Nolte, good gracious.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the…

Alright, so it’s a morning of images. This is yet another image I find interesting. It gives us a look at Henry Cavill as our favorite, red-caped super hero in what looks like a bit more candid shot from the film and not a posed shot.

I’m still looking forward to seeing Amy Adams as Lois Lane myself. I’ve loved Amy Adams in pretty much anything she’s been in and I’m hoping she’ll just blow this role away. Though I love the first Superman film staring Christopher Reeve, and to a lesser extent the second (don’t even speak to me about 3 and 4), I was never a big fan of Margot Kidder as Lois…

Sam Raimi‘s new prequel to The Wizard of Oz opens in a couple months, and to complement the most recent TV spots and trailer, we’ve got some new high-res photos that show off the characters played by James Franco, Michelle Williams, and others.

Oz: The Great and Powerful follows a magician (Franco) whose escape from a small town con game turns into a path to a new world, as he pilots a balloon that is blown off course into Oz. There he meets a trio of witches (Williams, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz) and a few odd characters such as the monkey Finley (voiced by Zach Braff) and China Girl…

Oh, sure, everyone thinks they know what Bruce Wayne looks like. But for different fans, that has a very different answer. Today’s fans, of course, think of Christian Bale as Batman, while their parents probably think of Michael Keaton. And Grandpa? Why, he’s all about Adam West.

Now, though, the whole family can stop bickering over Batman (finally!) thanks to this great composite photo, which takes the faces of all five big screen Bruce Waynes and merges them together into one new, distinct and yet instantly recognizable face.

I have no idea why this is so fun, but trust me, it is.…

Wonder whether any of the hacking and other things in Skyfall is possible, or just a figment of the writers imagination? Veronica is here to help you figure it out. You may be surprised as she and her special guest figure out what’s real and what isn’t.

Personally, I’m still stuck on the whole mouth plate thing or whatever it was Silva had that made his face and mouth look normal. That just was not believable to me.

Written by Gregory Gieras, Mega Spider will tell us the story of a 50 foot tall alien spider who escapes from a military lab and rampages the city of Los Angeles.

But you have nothing to be afraid about – there’s also a great team of scientists, soldiers, and even one clever exterminator who will (just a wild guess) kill that **** thing before the city is destroyed.

Sometimes it is necessary to link to something just because of the sheer stupidity of the thing. I have been unable to find out when this “film” will be released. IMDb lists the date as 2012 but I can’t find much beyond…

If you will indulge my geeky side a moment. I know a few of you don’t like the Star Trek stuff, so if you are one of those, feel free to skip over this. I could not resist.

Though the style of this video with the over the top announcery voiceover is a little pompous and self important, I found this video to be really fun for the geek in me, showing the evolution of the Enterprise through out the Star Trek timeline (except for the new timeline of the JJ Abrams films).

The description on YouTube says this was taken from the Star Trek: Enterprise DVD Extras so you might want to watch…

Pixar is so good at this stuff. In this sequel to Monsters Inc. the kiddos are going to college to learn how to square children and such. It’s a fun concept, and provides the really fun opportunity for ads like this.

I always think back to the awesome marketing for Toy Story 3, such as the Google Search Ad. It’s really great marketing, and though completely different in some ways, this ad for Monsters University is similar in that it’s not directly advertising the upcoming film, but it sure is getting you fired up for it.

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but…
