‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

The summer of 2015 just got a tiny bit less crowded. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has just pushed the Man of Steel sequel from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016. The new date pits the Zack Snyder-helmed film directly against an as-yet-unnamed Marvel Studios project, though in all likelihood one or the other will move before then.

Joe Wright‘s Peter Pan origin tale will now move into the July 17, 2015 slot, having previously been slotted for June 26, 2015.

I know some of you will be dissapointed by this news. I’m actually happy about it. 2015 was feeling really crowded. One less big film…

Rumor that ‘Batman Vs. Superman’ Could Tie In to ‘Justice League’

Rumor that ‘Batman Vs. Superman’ Could Tie In to ‘Justice League’
Germain Lussier — /Film

A new rumor is circulating that could explain the number of superheroes potentially showing up in Batman vs. Superman. We know for sure Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman will be in the Zack Snyder sequel, set for release July 17, 2015. We’ve also heard wild rumors of other superheroes, such as Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman, possibly popping up in the film. Whether those rumors are true or not, the addition of Wonder Woman alone has fans worried Snyder’s film will bite off more than it can chew.

Well the new rumor is Batman vs. Superman will end on a huge tease for a Justice League movie,…

Star Wars VII Rumors

Star Wars VII Rumors
Robert T. Trate - Mania.com

The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision has tried to make sense of all the new Star Wars rumors. The latest of which include thatMichael Fassbender, Girls star Adam Driver, and Hugo Weaving are now being considered for roles. Yet that isn’t all the rumors.  

The other big change that has surfaced, unofficially as no one will confirm or deny anything, is that the Episode VII will now primarily focus on Luke, Han, and Leia. Michael Arndt’s script did not feature the original characters in primary roles. However, rumors indicate that JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan are now going to give the fans…

Some ‘Batman Vs. Superman’ Info

Some ‘Batman Vs. Superman’ Info
Mario-Francisco Robles - Latino Review

Nothing should be taken as confirmed news unless explicitly stated as such,” so let’s keep that in mind as we dive in to what the man’s got to say:

  • Martian Manhunter and Aquaman will not appear in the film.
  • He thinks we’re going to see the first official still of Affleck in costume really soon.
  • Superman/Clark Kent will unequivocally be the main character of Batman vs Superman, meaning this will not be some covert Justice League movie.
  • Lex Luthor will be in the movie, but he will not be the only villain. Jett refuses to reveal the second one, only stating that this other character is…

‘Pirates 5’ - Keith Richards Returns, Christoph Waltz as Villain?

‘Pirates 5’ - Keith Richards Returns, Christoph Waltz as Villain?
B. Alan Orange - MovieWeb.com

A slew of interesting new details have come to surface for the impending sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which has Johnny Depp signed to return as Captain Jack Sparrow for a fifth time.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Keith Richards will return as the pirate Captain Teague, who also happens to be Jack’s biological father. The pair will team up to battle Captain Brand in a search for a mythical trident.

While Disney has not confirmed any of this, Django Unchained’s Christoph Waltz is reportedly interested in taking on the villainous role of Captain Brand.

Samuel L. Jackson: Hamill & McGregor Not Contacted For ‘Star Wars 7’

Samuel L. Jackson: Hamill & McGregor Not Contacted For ‘Star Wars 7’

Who knows how much he really knows or if Hamill is telling the truth. Perhaps he’s been sworn to secrecy and it wouldn’t be the first time that an actor invovled with a JJ Abrams production was contractually obligated to lie about something.

Quite frankly, in a Star Wars galaxy set a few years after the death of good old Palpatine, one where Luke Skywallker is still alive, it will be odd for him to not at least have some small roll. But it’s also odd that he hasn’t been contacted (if true). I find it far less odd that Jackson and McGregor haven’t been contacted. Obi-Wan is dead, and even if…

Lex Luthor Confirmed for ‘Batman Vs. Superman’?

Lex Luthor Confirmed for ‘Batman Vs. Superman’?
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Firstly, Lex Luthor was basically confirmed as the villain for the “Man Of Steel” followup, which everyone sorta figured anyway. Of course, the character had been rumored to make a brief appearance in “Man Of Steel” (which obviously didn’t happen) while the trailer and movie had a few nods to LexCorp if you kept your eyes open and on the look for them. “At its core, Superman is an alien. He comes from an alien world … Lex loves to call him an alien,” Zack Snyder said, to which host Smith countered, “That’s a spoiler, folks.”

 Not that I care too much, but I figured you guys might. I’m not…

‘Star Wars VII’ Casting Suggests Lack of Skywalkers or Solos

‘Star Wars VII’ Casting Suggests Lack of Skywalkers or Solos
Germain Lussier - /Film

If true, the latest Star Wars Episode VII rumor blows the lid off everything we expected the sequels to be. Though co-writer and producer Lawrence Kasdan has long said the new films won’t follow any stories from the Extended Universe, almost everyone assumed the main characters — all believed to be young adults — would somehow be related to the Skywalker and Solo families. They’d have to be, considering Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, who finished the series dating Han Solo, were the last two Jedi in the universe. Any future Jedi would surely be directly related.

That might not be the…

Upcoming New Orson Scott Card Novel May Provide Movie Sequel

Upcoming New Orson Scott Card Novel May Provide Movie Sequel
Russ Fischer - /Film

I won’t go into full-on Ender’s Game spoilers here above the fold, but many have wondered whether or not the film would earn a sequel, and if so how the story would work out. See, the film Ender’s Game retains the basic ending of the original novel by Orson Scott Card, and that leads into a more complex and stranger sequel called Speaker for the Dead.

Trouble is, that novel takes place many years after Ender’s Game. The actors from this season’s film wouldn’t be able to make the jump without extensive reworking of the story.

But Card is penning another story, called Fleet School, which is…

Saoirse Ronan Confirms She Auditioned for ‘Star Wars VII’

Saoirse Ronan Confirms She Auditioned for ‘Star Wars VII’
ComingSoon.net

A few weeks ago came the rumors that Atonement and Hanna star Saoirse Ronan had auditioned for a role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. The actress has now confirmed to Sky News that she has auditioned for a part in the film but also made the comment, “so has everyone.” Ronan wouldn’t mention anymore about the film though, saying the bosses would “chop off her head with a light-sabre.”

 Well, that’s that rumor confirmed then. Whether she’ll get a part in the film, or what part she read for is still anyone’s guess at this point.
