The news was announced a few minutes ago on Marvel.com. Robert Downey Jr reprises his role as Tony Stark in a 2-picture agreement for Marvel’s The Avengers 2 (May 1, 2015) and Marvel’s The Avengers 3 (undated). The sequel will start production on March 2014 led again by writer and directorJoss Whedon. Downey had been involved in tough negotiations with cheapskate Marvel as I’ve previously reported; now the question is which other Avengers 2 actors will solve their contract disputes.

I mean, we knew that Marvel was ultimately going to do whatever it took to get him, right? They would be…

I have not spoken to J.J. He’s been busy with Star Trek, and I’m sure that he’ll let me know when he’s got some questions. So, you know, that’s all going well. Kathy tells me it’s working out great.

Not that Lucas minds all that much. “I think it’s great,” he said of passing on the torch. “I don’t have to worry about these guys any more.”

And unfortunately, I think it’s great to keep Lucas out of it at this point. He’s done enough damage to his franchise, let’s just keep his mitts off of it and it should be a lot better than anything we saw of the prequels.

Plus, I think Lucas’…

“These guys are hammers, and to hammers everything looks like nails.” LOVE IT! If the film is like this clip, I’m going to love it I think.

I’m hearing good things and I’m warming up to the idea of this film. Of course, I warmed up to the idea of the Man of Steel film to the point where I was really looking forward to it. What a let down that was. I hope this is not like that. We’ll see, but I think this film may be showing some promise for my personal tastes.

So, apparently this is a thing. I guess LEGO didn’t want to be left out of this super hero craze. And what with Hasbro jumping into the fray and making films, why not LEGO? I have kind of mixed feelings about this. It looks unbelievably dumb, and fun at the same time. It should certainly bring back nastolgia for me too. LEGO blocks were my best friend growing up, and I didn’t even have all those fancy special blocks all the cool kids have now. I just had regular old bricks. Sure I had the varying assortment of sizes, 2 pegs, 3 pegs, 8 pegs, etc, and a few tapered blocks. But that was it for…

For those of us who love fantasy, this looks like it could be a good one, although I will say this feels very closely related to a Buffy / Twilight crossover. This film is apparently based on a book series, but I don’t have any previous knowledge or baggage from that series to cloud things up for me either way, so that’s a possible plus for me.

But, as much fun as this looks like it could be, there certainly seem to be enough films and TV shows centered on the paranormal lately. Maybe it’s time to find some other subjects for filmmaking, what do you guys say?

I’ll say this for New Zealand, it sure is a beautiful place, and a perfect place to shoot “Middle Earth”. And actually, though at one point in the video they say it’s so beautiful and perfect you’ll think it’s CGI, I was thinking the opposite, I was thinking it does indeed look too good and too real to be CGI.

Man if this video doesn’t make you want to visit New Zealand, I’m not sure you have a soul.

Well, this looks really stupid. But it’s a trailer and everybody is making a fuss about it so I should post it or something, right? The Wolf of Wall Street will be directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jean Dujardin, Pj Byrne, and Kenneth Choi.

In The Wolf of Wall Street DiCaprio plays Belfort, a Long Island penny stockbroker who served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a massive 1990s securities fraud case that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the…

Talking to David Goyer, screenwriter for Man of Steel:

When pushed on the possibility of the Justice League movie following on directly from Man of Steel he elaborated,

It would be disingenuous to say Warner Bros doesn’t hope that this would be the starting point for a shared universe. And Zack has said that Bruce Wayne exists in this universe. It would be a different Bruce Wayne from Chris’ [Nolan] Dark Knight trilogy, and it would be disingenuous to say that Zack and I haven’t had various conversations on set, around ‘what if’ and ‘moving forward’.

That having been said, it’s all…

Sounds like there’s some bad news about the Zombie Apocalypse according to Brad Pitt in this latest promo — a clip from ‘World War Z’. I’m hearing stirrings that this film takes itself very seriously in a The Dark Knight kind of way, and this clip would seem to confirm that as men around Brad Pitt’s character scramble for information about their homes and loved ones and Brad doesn’t have good news for them.

You’ll be able to see about this zombie apocalypse for yourself, in theaters on June 21^st.
