Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

The guy is chatty! I like this! I mean, when is the last time you saw Christopher Nolan in an interview like this being so cool and nice? Don’t get my wrong, I love some Dark Knight franchise from Nolan, but this is way more fun.

So in this fun little thing, Yahoo! Movies had the opportunity to ask Joss a few questions, chat it up a little, find out about The Avengers 2, the status of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show, oh and also, he loved Iron Man 3 and thought Shane Black did a phenomenal job, which gives me great confidence that Iron Man 3 is going to be awesome because I trust Joss’ creative…

Netflix Bigger Than HBO

Netflix Bigger Than HBO
Angie Han - /Film

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…

Japanese Trailer for ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

Japanese Trailer for ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

And here is the second post on Star Trek for today. This is a Japanese trailer for the upcoming film and it reveals a little bit of new footage that we have not seen yet.

Despite the irritation with J.J.‘s style showing through in my previous posting of the second clip from the film, I am looking forward to this film quite a lot. Therefore, this trailer is exciting and worth watching.

After watching this trailer, you will also want to check out Anthony’s shot by shot of whatever new material is in this trailer. You can do so over here.

Here’s the trailer:

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip!

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip!

AOL has an exclusive clip from Star Trek Into Darkness and I’ve embedded it right here for your enjoyment.

I have of course, seen this clip already when I went to the sneak peak event held at my local IMAX theater in Nashville (yes, I’m bragging), but now you all can see it. The Prime Directive is in full swing here, which is funny since the Prime Directive was never really fully fleshed out in the original series. Also, it seems like there has always been exceptions for extreme circumstances, like the fact that SPOCK IS GOING TO DIE! if Kirk doesn’t do something.

I will say that I like…

Homemade ‘Star Trek’ Trailer

Homemade ‘Star Trek’ Trailer

The guys at CineFix have done it again. This is not a remake of the most recent (and final) theatrical trailer. I don’t remember for sure, but I think they trailer they are remaking here is theatrical number 2?

In any event, as before, this is pretty awesome! Be sure to see the first one they did if you haven’t yet.

Here’s the trailer:

And here’s the side by side comparison video so you can see how well they replicated each shot:

Clark Gregg Talks Agent Coulson Return

Clark Gregg Talks Agent Coulson Return

Coulson lives! Long live Coulson!

This much we know at least for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the method by which Coulson will be returning is going to have to stay mysterious unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that Clark Gregg doesn’t have some things to say about it.

I don’t know how you could not change going through what he went through in The Avengers. I think if he hadn’t gone through some kind of change, it wouldn’t be any good. That said, I don’t know if he understands how much he’s changed.

...

Some level of deception must have been perpetrated on the Avengers.…

M83 - ‘Oblivion’ Title Track Live

M83 - ‘Oblivion’ Title Track Live

If like me you enjoyed Oblivion quite a bit, and also found the soundtrack to be top notch, then you might be interested in checking out this video of M83 performing the title track of the film live on Jimmy Kimmel.

They were joined by award winning Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør. I enjoyed watching this performance immensely. It’s an amazing performance from an amazing soundtrack.

Don’t forget that you can stream the entire ‘Oblivion’ score right here on MovieByte.com and get a feel and taste for the whole film.

Trailers Give Away the Movie

Trailers Give Away the Movie
Shawn Blanc

There is a swell new trailer for Man of Steel. Actually, it’s beyond swell; it’s epic. In fact, it’s so epic, if you removed a few of the fast cuts to give a bit more plot clarity, and then add in something about Superman conquering General Zod, then, well, you’d probably have the world’s most epic 3-minute film.

It reminds me of the 2002 Spider-man Trailer where just about the only part missing is Spider-man actually defeating the Green Goblin.

With trailers like these, who needs movies?

13: Sherlock, A Study in Pink

04/17/2013

After wrapping up last week’s discussion about across the pond media, TJ and Alex riff on Hannibal, Oblivion and of course, Sherlock: A Study in Pink.

I’m back after missing an episode! Head on over to catch the latest episode in which I discuss the British television show Sherlock with my friend Alex Arena.

‘Man of Steel’ Trailer Analysis

‘Man of Steel’ Trailer Analysis
Edward Davis - The Playlist

Simply put, “Man Of Steel” looks rather epic—a mix of deep-rooted character development and incredible action that points to full-on war on Earth. Also, Henry Cavill, something of a question mark as he’s never quite impressed, doesn’t seem completely out of place here, thankfully. The world and context of “Man Of Steel” is unfolding, and much like Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” films, it seems to be rooted in a pragmatic reality, with plausible reasons for elements of the Superman cannon to appear while less plausible lore seems to have been jettisoned completely. We thought we’d take a deeper…
