As other streaming services scramble to catch up to Netflix, Netflix has long eyed HBO as its biggest rival. And if Netflix isn’t hasn’t pulled off a decisive win quite yet, it is at least closing in. The company reported that it had 29.17 million domestic subscribers in the first quarter of 2013, surpassing the 28.7 million reported by HBO at the end of 2012. Netflix’s numbers represent an increase of 2 million domestic and 1 million foreign subscribers since the end of 2012.

Crazy, right? But this streaming thing is just a fad, people don’t want their content on demand. Traditional…

Mumbai, April 22 (IANS) The teaser of “Avengers 2” will be released with “Iron Man 3” Friday.

“It’s true that the teaser of ‘Avengers 2’ is being attached to ‘Iron Man 3’. It is a double attraction for the fans of superhero films because they will get to see what ‘Avengers 2’ has in store along with the action-packed ‘Iron Man 3’,” said a source.

For some reason, India is getting the film one week before we do here in The States, and I hope this is not some India only thing, but that we get the teaser too. It seems a little odd since The Avengers 2 is so far away, but you never know…

“There’s been an online campaign for Peggy to be featured. People really liked her. So Marvel have made sure that as part of Comicon there will be a little kind of snapshot as to what Peggy’s actually really capable of, which was finished here and which was great fun. Hopefully, it will lead to other things.”

Be it a movie or television series spin-off, Atwell would love a chance to play Peggy once more and to flesh out her character.

I think we’d all like to see more of Peggy Carter. Though not the star of Captain America she was one of the shining bright lights of the story. But I…

“Tron: Legacy” and “Oblivion” director Joseph Kosinski is teaming with “Pacific Rim” writer Travis Beacham for the pretty awesomely titled “Ballistic City.” The ambitious premise is set in a city contained within a spaceship that’s headed to an unknown world, following a former cop who falls into the criminal underworld, in something that’s described as a cross between “Blade Runner” and “Battlestar Galactica.” And that’s a mix we can get behind. Right now, the show is in development with both Kosinski and Beacham executive producing, with the former to direct while the latter…

Joss let loose that his team of Avengers will assemble for filming in February of 2014. Obviously we know that they would have to start filming in 2014 to make a May 2015 release date, but thus far we had not heard a start date for the filming. Now we’re honing in on it. Inquiring minds like to know this stuff.

Check out the video below for that and other goodies. Joss talks about having his fingers in all the pies over at Marvel, how the filming of the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot went, the secrecy surrounding the Marvel universe and how difficult that is, how his schedule with Marvel now does not…

Actor Richard LeParmentier, best known for portraying Admiral Motti in Star Wars, died suddenly at the age of 66 while visiting his family in Austin, Texas. The Pittsburgh-born actor worked regularly throughout the 70s and 80s, appearing in such films as Octopussy and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 

“Every time we find someone’s lack of faith disturbing, we’ll think of him,” the official statement from his family reads…

Major bummer. That’s too bad. Condolences to his family.

Here’s the famous scene from Star Wars.

“I got nothing to say about that,” he told the newspaper.

The star went on to explain his reasoning for staying tight-lipped: “If someone says ‘Trust me’, and it’s not a sushi chef in a sushi bar, I’m immediately suspicious. I’m not a faith-based actor.”

Ford went on to discuss the effect Star Wars had on his career, revealing that he was nearly type-cast in Han Solo-esque roles.

You can’t really blame the guy. I mean especially since the roll did cause him some pain in the typecasting department early on, and also because, he’s not allowed to say anything anyway. In some…

Collider reveals that Universal Pictures chairman Adam Fogelson revealed that the studio is aiming the much discussed “Snow White And The Huntsman” for a 2015 release. While the movie wasn’t a mega sized smash hit, it still collected nearly $400 million worldwide, and perhaps more importantly: when you have a movie with Bella and Thor in it, you don’t toss it out without some serious consideration. There were a lot of rumors last summer about Kristen Stewart being dropped from the sequel following the semi-scandal regarding her relationship with director Rupert Sanders, but last we heard,…

Director Michael Bay delivered a few pieces of news last night at CinemaCon, revealing that he’ll shoot the big showcase scenes in Transformers 4 with the new IMAX 3D digital camera and that Stanley Tucci will join the cast.

Bay was reportedly very excited to have Company You Keep star Tucci onboard the movie, which will star Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz, as well as another mysterious young actor that Bay teased will be announced very shortly.

At this time, nothing has been revealed about Tucci’s character.

Why? Why, oh why, oh why would such a fine actor join the…
