‘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…

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

I will continue to maintain that if you don’t like this show we probably can’t be friends. I really don’t get what everybody doesn’t like about this show. It’s really fantastic and it’s just getting better and better. This week’s episode was great where Colson gets to deal with what’s been going on in his past and dig up what’s going on with Skye’s past.

And keep your eyes open for a special Marvel guest start in this trailer!

‘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…

Roger Lloyd-Pack Passes Away

Roger Lloyd-Pack Passes Away
Deadline

Roger Lloyd-Pack, the British actor best known for his role in classic sitcom Only Fools And Horses, has died. He passed away at home on Wednesday night, suffering from pancreatic cancer, his agent told the UK press. He was 69. Lloyd-Pack played the slow-witted road sweeper Colin “Trigger” Ball on long-running BBC One sitcom Only Fools And Horses. He also played farmer Owen Newitt in the Richard Curtis-created BBC series The Vicar Of Dibley. The actor’s feature career included turns in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, in which he took on the part of…

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars
TrekNews.net

J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek Into Darkness”, which was released in theaters last May, has been nominated for an Oscar Award for Best Visual Effects.

The team that worked on the VFX for the film include Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Ben Grossmann and Burt Dalton. “Star Trek Into Darkness” will be competing against “Gravity”, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”, “Iron Man 3″ and “The Lone Ranger” for the prized gold statue.

That’s nice. It had decent effects but there’s no way it wins over Gravity, or even The Desolation of Smaug.

Secret Agent Opening Weekend

Secret Agent Opening Weekend

Prepare to be wowed, or disapointed, I don’t really know which yet. This weekend is the reboot of a franchise that I tend to like in general and it makes me a little nervous. Of course things might also get a little bit nutty. Or you could go for a ride along. Whatever works best for you this weekend.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit — PG-13

Jack Ryan used to be a CIA analyst who would accidentally get himself into all sort of trouble and strange international situations that resulted in action. Well it doesn’t look like that’s the case anymore. Now he’s a secret agent who’s looking for the…

‘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.

Revealing its animated family calendar for the near future, Universal announced Wednesday it will release Despicable Me 3 on June 30, 2017, and a new Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Nov. 17 of that year.

News of a third Despicable Me comes as the second film in the franchise celebrates a dazzling run at the global box office, earning north of $935 million to date, one of the best showings of all time for an animated film (Illumination’s Minions spinoff opens in theaters July 10, 2015).

The exact plot of the untitled 2016 Illumination project is shrouded in secrecy,…

Scarlett Johansson on ‘The Avengers: The Age of Ultron’ Script

Scarlett Johansson on ‘The Avengers: The Age of Ultron’ Script
JoBlo

“Well, we can expect the Avengers. Joss [Whedon], again, is back, wrote the script, and is directing. I think the script is dark and it’s dry, it’s got this amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humor. Obviously the script is very cerebral. It doesn’t lose that exciting comic book aspect that people enjoyed in the first film, but it’s smart and it feels like the next installment. It doesn’t feel like a rehashing, it feels like these characters are moving forward, plotlines are moving forward. It’s deep and I think that’s why people really respond to the Marvel universe, because the films…
