Mark “RorMachine” Cassidy - ComicBookMovie.com

I shouldn’t need to tell you, but I will. What follows is a) unsubstantiated rumors, and b) if true, possibly massive spoilers for Batman vs Superman.

- The villains are Lex Luthor and Metallo 

- Batman forms a UN type deal to stop Superman from destroying another city 

- Aquaman is in it, but not called Aquaman. He’s there because the world engine in the ocean did something to the fish 

- Wonderwoman poses as a Wayne Enterprises investor to retrieve an item that belongs to her people. 

- Lex Luthor is in the shadows a lot, a manipulator. Not much face time with Superman. 

- Robin…

JJ Abrams: ‘Star Wars VII’ Script Done, Will Shoot on Film

J.J. Abrams hit the Television Critics Association’s press tour Sunday to promote his upcoming NBC show Believe, and after his panel reporters pelted him with Star Wars: Episode VII questions. What did he say? Not much, but here’s what we got:

The script is done: “We’re working really hard and we’ve got our script and we’re in deep prep. Full steam ahead.”

What’s the length? Abrams wouldn’t go there. “I promise you it will be movie length.”

Well, whether good or bad, the script is done and we’ll know soon when it comes out in the coming eternity which way it will go.

Abrams says he…

‘300: Rise of An Empire’ Trailer 3

‘300: Rise of An Empire’ Trailer 3

If you want to see a film about vengence and violence, then Zack Snyder’s upcoming 300: Rise of an Empire may just be the right film for you.

Also, I never knew before the slow motion filmography could actually be its own character in a film, but it appears according to the trailer that Snyder has accomplished just that.

A lot of peopl really loved the first 300 film and it brought in a lot of money, so a sequel was inevitable. and it doesn’t look like an altogether bad sequel at that — at leaset not so far.

Bond 24 and 25 to “Build on Skyfall”

Bond 24 and 25 to “Build on Skyfall”
Matt Looker - TotalFilm.com

Talking to IGN, Logan said of the next Bond outing: “My goal is to write a great movie that’s appropriate, to build on what we did on Skyfall, but make it its own unique animal.

“The themes, ideas and the characters from Skyfall can obviously continue on, because it is a franchise, and it is an ongoing story. So I think there’s resonance from Skyfall in the new movie.”

I mean, that’s fine as far as I’m concerned. Skyfall was quite obviously the best of the new Bond films and if they can keep making them better and better it’s quite alright with me.

Jennifer Garner Says Affleck’s Batsuit Is a “Total Reinvention”

Jennifer Garner Says Affleck’s Batsuit Is a “Total Reinvention”
Angie Han - /Film

Entertainment Tonight caught up with the actress on the SAG Awards red carpet. ”I’ve seen the suit,” said the former Elektra star. “The suit is unbelievably cool. It’s a total reinvention. It looks great.”

Unfortunately, Garner didn’t get into details on how, exactly, Affleck’s Batsuit would differ from earlier ones. But so far, pretty much everything we’ve heard indicates that the Batman vs. Superman costumers are trying to move away from Christian Bale’s look in the Christopher Nolan movies.

Because the desire to differentiate one’s self always leads to the best creative works…

Okay,…

‘Maleficent’ Trailer 2 — A New Spin on An Old Fairytale

‘Maleficent’ Trailer 2 — A New Spin on An Old Fairytale

I’m sure we’re all familiar with the old Disney classic of Sleeping Beauty. I’m sure I’ve seen it hundreds of times. But this is a new take on the tale — actually starting apparently well before the classic tale begins exploring how Meleficent became evil.

I’ll tell you, in the teaser trailer, and now in this trailer, it sure seems like Angeline Jolie is the perfect actress to play Maleficent. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing if this film is any good.

Synopsis:

The untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young…

First Clip From Upcoming ‘The Monuments Men’

First Clip From Upcoming ‘The Monuments Men’

It’s not like this is one of my highly anticipated films of the year or anything, but I am looking forward to this film a little bit. And a February release make me think the studio doesn’t think very highly of it. Still…

It’s based on a true story from the World War II era focusing on a platoon takes by FDR with the preservation and rescue of cultural artifacts, historical objects, artistic objects, things of value and relevance. The official synopsis from Sony Pictures is as follows:

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama…

‘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…

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series
Cain Rodriguez

USA Today reports (via Indiewire) that CW—aka the network that cancelled the show—has worked out a deal with Thomas to bring the Neptune universe to the web in the form of a spinoff web series for the network’s CW Seed site. Right now details are sketchy, it could be anywhere between six to eight episodes lasting between five and ten minutes apiece.

Who would this series follow? Well, apparently Thomas was cagey with the network in the meetings leading up to the decision with CW head honcho Mark Pedowitz saying of the show creator, “He talked a little bit but it wasn’t locked in; he talked…

‘Walk of Shame’ Trailer Featuring Elizabeth Banks

‘Walk of Shame’ Trailer Featuring Elizabeth Banks

I can’t say this looks great — in fact it looks really silly and crazy I think. The idea here is the Banks character goes on a crazy night, has a one night stand, then gets a call from the network about an opportunity for a big news anchor gig. But when she runs out to her car it’s being towed and (for whatever reason) it has her purse in it and she has no way to get where she needs to go and no ID. Hillarity (apparently) ensues.

I like Elizabeth Banks but I’m just not sure about this thing. We’ll have to see what’s in store for us when the film is released to theaters on April 25th.
