TVLine has obtained casting details regarding the ABC pilot, which is helmed by the Avengers writer/director and based on a peacekeeping group that appeared in both the summer blockbuster and various Marvel comics.

The live-action pilot’s title is an acronym for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, a covert organization run by Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in the movie.

Buffy creator Whedon is tentatively set to direct the pilot; he’s also slated to write the series with his brother Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen.

“We’re impressed with the imagination and creative direction of the entire team on Revolution, not to mention the immediately strong response we got from the audience,” said NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke in a statement. “We’re also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal.”

Revolution‘s debut episode ranked as NBC’s best drama launch in adults 18-49 in five years (since the premiere of Bionic Woman in 2007), and it…

While Iron Man is in North Carolina and Thor  is across the pond in London, England, Captain America is sticking with his Avenger roots and filming in Ohio. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, will be filming about 40% of its entirety in and around Cleveland, Ohio. That’s the same place Joss Whedon used to double as New York for most of the final battle in The Avengers, suggesting Cap’s story will stay in New York and keep visual Marvel continuity.

Not much news here, but I’m looking forward to this film so I have to post…

Check out these completely new set photos from the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie! This time all eyes on Donald Sutherland a.k.a. President Snow, who definitely rocks! Sutherland was spotted filming a scene on the set of Francis Lawrence‘s film in Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday.

I have high hopes for this film, which means it is surely doomed. But we’ll see.

Cloud Atlas has sounded like a huge and ambitious undertaking from the first time I heard about it, and now it looks like it will be getting the big screen IMAX treatment.

The film was not originally intended for IMAX release and so was shot on standard 35 mm film. The IMAX website notes that it has been digitally remastered into the IMAX format. IMAX looked pretty good on the much older Raiders of the Lost Ark so I’m guessing this film will still look awesome on IMAX even though it was only shot on 35.

Warner Bros. has also released a new TV spot which shows a lot less of the of the…

A new poster for The Hobbit is making the rounds, and I don’t know about you, but it tends to remind me of posters from the previous trilogy. This is not a bad thing though, making the tie and connection to The Lord of the Rings trilogy given my initial feelings about The Hobbit were not good, but I love The Lord of the Rings.

I do have to say I’m getting excited for this film in spite of myself. I really hope I’m not disappointed.

Here’s the new poster:

And for comparison, here’s a couple from the Lord of the Rings trilogy:

If you’ve been successfully avoiding spy photos from the southeast Asian set of James Mangold‘s The Wolverine, you’ve about to be rewarded with claws and veins. 20th Century Fox has released the first official image from the X-Men side story starring Hugh Jackman as the adamantium laced badass. It’s scheduled for release July 26, 2013, check out the image below.

I’m a big fan of the first two X-Men films. The third was pretty bad, obviously not anywhere near the level of the first two. And for a while I was not interested in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or X-Men: First Class. Having…

Man of Steel has been able to maintain secrecy surrounding the story line and what villains like General Zod will be up to. Just who Superman will face off appears to be General Zod (Supe’s nemesis in Superman II) but this week there has surfaced an unusual tip that another super villain may take a serious role in the film. LEGO, the toy brick company we all know and love, may have spilled the beans for another villain in Man of Steel.

Collider reports these LEGO sets are in the making for a release in 2013:

• 76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr.Freeze – Aquaman on Ice
• 76001 Batman vs.…

After two semi-successful attempts at bringing Bruce Banner’s The Hulk to the big screen, most everyone agreed Joss Whedon finally got it right in The Avengers. However, the argument was maybe it worked this time because Hulk was a supporting character instead of the star. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige didn’t agree with that and threw around the idea of possibly making another standalone Hulk movie in the future, this one starring Mark Ruffalo who is under a multi-picture contract with Marvel.

The questions are when would that happen and what story would it tell? In a new…
