Here’s A Teaser For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Super Bowl Spot!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I hate teasers for trailers as much as the next guy, but this one is pretty cool.

Sony has released a brief teaser for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer that’s set to air during the Super Bowl this Sunday. The spot features a bunch of footage that we haven’t seen before, including a very quick look at the mechanized Rhino… and it may even hint at the fate of Gwen Stacey. I bet Pete’s going to regret not keeping that promise at the end of this film.

In any case, take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you hope to see this Sunday!

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

The First Teaser Poster For ‘The Hunger Games: MockingJay – Part 1’ Is Exactly What You Think It Is

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Lionsgate has just debuted the first teaser poster for November’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.

As disappointed as I was in the first film in the series, I loved every second of last year’s Catching Fire, and as such, I can’t wait to see where this story goes. I haven’t read the books, but I like where things are going (and that love triangle, oh man).

In any case, take a look at the poster below, which is exactly what you’d imagine it would be, and let us know if you’re excited. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 hits theatres n November 21st.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the newest international posters from last week, Sony has just debuted seven new stills from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The images give us (as always) a better look at Electro, Harry talking to a (masked) Spider-Man, Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey in distress, and a few other surprises. Take a look at everything below, and let us know what you think! The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theatres on May 2nd!

New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ International Posters Put Electro Front And Centre

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: With all of the recent The Amazing Spider-Man 2 marketing (did you catch the Times Square trailer from earlier this week?), it’s been made very apparent that Electro is the main villain in the film. I’d question whether or not Rhino would even make an appearance had we not seen a quick clip of him in the film’s first trailer.

Sony has just debuted three new international posters for the film, and keeping with the trend, Rhino is nowhere to be seen. As usual, Jamie Foxx’s Electro falls front and centre in each image.

Take a look at the posters below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film (and where the hell you think that Rhino could be). The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theatres on May 2nd!

‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Gets A Times Square-Themed Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: During last night’s New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square, Sony showed off a cool new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The footage is introduced by Stan Lee himself (who just turned 91), and offers us yet another look at Jamie Foxx as Electro in the film.

Take a look at the footage below, and let us know: what do you think of the Electro design? Does he look bad-ass, or a little too Mr. Freeze (thanks for that one Daniel)?

Two New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Stills Debut Online!

Briefly: The latest issue of Empire Magazine is now on newsstands, and along with a bad-ass cover that reveals a new piece of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the issue also debuted two new stills from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

His Greatest Battle Begins In A New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Poster!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Sony has just debuted a new teaser poster for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The image states that “His greatest battle begins,” making me wonder just how many battle’s he’s had… before realizing that the answer is “just one.”

In any case, it’s a pretty cool poster (but not as cool as that actually good international trailer from last week). Take a look at it below, and let us know what you think!

New International ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer Features Plenty Of New Footage!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It seems like we just can’t get enough The Amazing Spider-Man today! First, two spinoff films were announced (head here for that one), and now a new international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has hit the web, and it’s substantially better than the domestic trailer released earlier this week.

This trailer gives us more of everything. We get a better look at all of the film’s villains (and the Green Goblin STILL looks dumb), see more interaction between Peter and Aunt May than we saw in the entire first film, and even Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey gets a (cute) line in. This preview leaves me a little more hopeful for the full feature than the earlier trailer did, and as always, that suit looks bad-ass in motion.

‘V/H/S/2’ Is Coming And Will Feature A Segment By The Raid’s Gareth Evans

by Shawn Madden

Did you enjoy this year’s V/H/S? Well, the found footage horror anthology is getting a sequel, which will be titled V/H/S/2. The sequel will feature segments directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid), Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) and Jason Eisner (Hobo With A Shotgun). Adam Wingard, who directed You’re Next and A Horrible Way To Die, will also be directing a segment as well as Simon Barrett, who wrote both of those movies, as well as two of the segments featured in V/H/S.

The first movie followed a group of students hired to break into a desolate house to find a lost VHS tape, which led into a series of found-footage stories directed by up-and-coming filmmakers. The sequel will follow a similar structure to that, featuring a pair of investigators who discover a tape while looking for a student. I haven’t seen the first one myself, but now that Gareth Evans is on board for the sequel I just may have to.

Heather Langenkamp Lands Small Role In ‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’

by Shawn Madden

Actress Heather Langenkamp, who you may know best as Nancy in the original Nightmare On Elm Street, has revealed that she will be appearing in J.J. Abrams highly anticipated sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness. The actress reveals that her part is small, but she worked on the film’s make-up effects with her husband.

“I had the opportunity to play a small part in Star Trek, so I’m looking forward to that. I can’t tell you anything about that, but that was a thrill for me. My husband and I worked on the makeup effects for Star Trek. He designed some of them, so that’s the thing we’re looking forward to most. Hopefully we’ll be working on something else in January. We don’t know what that will be yet, but hopefully it’ll be a really fun job.”

Star Trek: Into Darkness hits theaters May 17th, 2013.

Take A Look At First Official Image From ‘Machete Kills’

by Shawn Madden

The sequel to Machete, directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Danny Trejo, has been picked up for North American distribution in 2013 by Open Road Films and we also have the first offical image from the film. Rumor is that we can expect the first trailer to be attached to Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

Check out the first official image from Machete Kills as well as the synopsis for the sequel:

Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

Shaliene Woodley In Talks To Play Mary Jane Watson In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

With Marc Webb back to direct the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, Sony Pictures are preparing to start casting for the film, which is set to begin production early next year. Variety is reporting that Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) is in early talks to join the cast as Mary Jane Watson.

Watson is the most well known of Peter Parker’s love interest and Woodley is said to be the studio’s leading choice for role. Sony are also currently looking for an actor to play Harry Osborn, Parker’s best friend. Still a little surprised that this character wasn’t introduced in the first film.

Oh, and who is the current villain rumored for the sequel? Well, it’s definitely one of the ones we said a while back. Rumor is that we may see Electro. However, being that production doesn’t begin for a few more months, there’s still plenty of time for them to decide which villain will take on Spidey next on the big screen.

The currently untitled sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man is set to hit theaters May 2nd, 2014.

Isaac Florentine And Scott Adkins Teaming Up For Sequel To ‘Ninja’

by Shawn Madden

The movie Ninja, starring Scott Adkins (The Expendables 2) is definitely one of those movies on peoples guilty pleasures list. It’s far from good but had fantastic action and choreography. And while the movie wasn’t some massive financial success it appears to be getting the sequel treatment. Hopefully Nu Image gives them a bigger budget this time around because I would love to see Scott Adkins do more big budget action flicks. Actually, they should get Adkins on board as Sub-Zero for the Mortal Kombat reboot. Just sayin’.

The original movie was about an American orphan who is adopted into a martial arts dojo in Japan, trained in Ninjitsu, and sent to New York to retrieve a legendary armored chest containing the weapons of the last Kōga ninja. Scott Adkins played the lead, and Moviehole reports that he will be reunited with original director Isaac Florentine for the sequel.

NINJA 2, is due to start filming early 2013.

RUMOR: Two Actresses Up For Ms. Marvel Role In Sequel To ‘The Avengers’

by Shawn Madden

It’s a couple years away until production starts on the sequel to The Avengers. However, Marvel already knows what characters will be joining the team and now there’s a rumor that they are already looking at actresses to fill the role of one of these characters. According to Daily Mail, we should expect to see Carol Danvers AKA Ms. Marvel, who has speculated in the past. Not only that but the site goes on to state that Emily Blunt (Looper) and Ruth Wilson (Luther) are up for the role.

“Meanwhile, British actresses Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are head-to-head in a race for the most sought-after new female role in Hollywood. Emily, 29, and Ruth, 30, are both hotly tipped to play superhero Ms. Marvel in Avengers 2, the sequel to Avengers Assemble.”

So, for now take this rumor very lightly. But it is worth noting that if this is true it wouldn’t be the first time Marvel tried to nab Emily Blunt for a role. She was originally attached to to the role Black Widowin Iron Man 2, and she also turned down the role of Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger. Also with Marvel Studios going cosmic it doesn’t sound entirely unlikely. The only issue here is that this site isn’t really known for breaking casting news so we’re going to have to hold out on getting too excited on this one.

David Thewlis Joins The Cast Of ‘RED 2’

by Shawn Madden

Dean Parisot’s RED 2 has added yet another actor to it’s impressive ensemble cast. David Thewlis (who you probably know best as Remus Lupin from the five Harry Potter films he’s been in) has now joined the cast of the sequel as ‘The Frog’ who is said to be “an information dealer who got his name by poisoning the water supply at the Kremlin using a poisonous Amazonian frog.”

Thewlis will be joining Anthony Hopkins (Thor), Neal McDonough (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Byung-hun Lee (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as well as the returning cast members from the first film. This instalment will see the retired C.I.A. Agents travelling across Europe to take on an all-new threat.

First Look At Leatherface In ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’!

by Shawn Madden

The latest entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise will be hitting theaters next January. A creepy poster has popped up online earlier this month and now the first image of Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw 3D has hit the net. The film is not a remake but rather a direct sequel to the 1974 original and picks up where that film left off: a young woman has escaped the horrors of the Sawyer family and has alerted the authorities.

The townspeople descend on the Sawyer household and burn it to the ground, seemingly putting an end to the family’s reign of terror.  The story then jumps decades forward and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre where a young woman named Heather has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she didn’t know she had. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars. It appears that the townspeople just may not have gotten rid of the entire Sawyer family.

The films is directed by John Luessenhop (Takers, Lockdown) andAlexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Sue Rock, Scott Eastwood, Trey Songz, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry, Paul Rae and Richard Riehle. The film will also feature several of the original cast members from the first flick including John Dugan who will reprise his role as Grandfather and Marilyn Burns, Bill Moseley and Gunnar Hansen.

If You Don’t Watch This New ‘Taken 2’ Trailer Liam Neeson Will Find You

by Shawn Madden

Let’s keep it real here and admit that we didn’t need a sequel to Taken. However,  we are all going to see this. Because if we don’t Liam Neeson will find us…and we all know what happens when he does.

Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge, and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.

Taken 2 hits theaters October 5th.

‘Dead Island Riptide’ Teaser Trailer Released With More Details On The Game

by Shane O'Hare

Deep Silver said that full details on the Dead Island sequel would be released during PAX, well they gave us a little peaky peaky at some screens to go along with some idea of what the story will be all about. Also this trailer.

Well that trailer was really nothing. What you really want to see are the narrative notes. Well…

Deep Silver say this isn’t a sequel after all. Nonono! It is in fact a spin-off! At the end of the first game, the survivors escape via helicopter and land on a military ship and are whisked off to safety… until another storm hits and the crew of the ship all get infected. The 2nd storm creates new mutations and zombie types on the island, and the four main characters rescue ship crashes and they wash back up on Palanai Island and have to deal with the new horde.

Really these are the four most unlucky assholes on the planet. They get rescued, new ship crashes and they wind back up on the awful place they just left. This is Twilight Zone level torture.

Additional bits are that a fifth character will be in the game, and that players from Dead Island can import their older characters. Riptide will feature a new game engine and more animated weather which will allow for flooding and other environment changes. Not much else was announced but you can expect more during PAX. Meanwhile take a look at these screenshots!

Dead Island Riptide is planned for a 2013 release on Xbox, PS3 and PC.

‘Torchlight II’ Gets A Release Date!

by Shane O'Hare

The sequel to the hyper popular dungeon crawler ( some say the REAL Diablo III) Torchlight, will be released on September 20th! That is just three weeks from now!

The announcement comes from a very informal forum post by a Runic Games employee. It is official, but the post says they will share the news bigger and more grandiose tomorrow. Torchlight II will also be playable at PAX.

So make sure you have that copy pre-ordered on Steam and get it ready to preload, because a few Thursdays from now you’ll be ready!

Claudia Lee Joins The Cast Of KICK-ASS 2

by Shawn Madden

It seem’s just about every other day that we get a new cast addtion to Jeff Wadlow’s upcoming sequel to KICK-ASS. Deadline report that Claudia Lee (Hart Of Dixie) has been cast in a co-starring role in the upcoming sequel. However the site does not currently have any info regarding who the young actress will be playing. Based on her age alone she could be playing one of the girls who bully Mindy aka Hit-Girl. Or possibly even another member of the Justice Forever team? Who do you think she could be playing? Sound off in the box below.

KICK-ASS 2 hits theaters June 28, 2013.

Tom Cruise Doing Prep Work For ‘Top Gun’ Sequel In Nevada!

by Shawn Madden

So, who’s ready to bust our their aviator shades and crank up some “Danger Zone”? Get ready to debate which one of you guys gets to be Ice Man. Reports are coming in that Tom Cruise was in Fallon, Nevada on Friday for some preliminary research work on the Top Gun sequel that we’ve been hearing about for quite some time now. It looks like the sequel really is happening and we could be seeing it sooner than expected. The actor was seen talking to Navy officials and doing some other unspecified prep work at the Naval Air Station in Fallon. Officials did confirm that indeed Cruise was in town doing prep work for the movie but could not confirm if the movie will be shot at that location. Maybe Cruise really wants to fly the jets this time around?

There’s not much known about the plot to this upcoming sequel, but what is known that the script will “reflect the advances in aviation technology since the ’80s, in particular that of the Navy’s killer robot drones that are now utilized throughout the world”. Jerry Bruckheimer will be producing the sequel with Tony Scott directing and of course we will see Cruise back as the hot-shot pilot Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell who “is said to be one of the last ‘old school’ pilots, captaining the last manned fighter aircraft, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter”. But, what about the rest of the cast?

Val Kilmer has reportedly expressed interest and it seems that just recently Rick Rossovich has gotten back in the acting game. But, I think out of the two we only really care about Kilmer coming back. It’s quite possible that we could get cameos from Meg Ryan and Tom Skerritt as well. We will have to wait and see what develops as far as casting goes though. So, who’s ready to fly back into the danger zone?

 

 

Kristen Stewart NOT Fired From Snow White Now? The Saga Continues

by Eric Diaz

Earlier today word broke that Kristen Stewart was let go from the sequel to Snow White And The Huntsman. Well, now it seems that The LA Times is reporting that may not be entirely true.

But the studio that released that film, Universal, insists that plans for a second movie centering on the Huntsman character played by Chris Hemsworth are proceeding and that Stewart’s Snow White could still be a character in that film, despite reports that suggested otherwise.

While they aren’t saying that she definitely will be back they are saying the studio did not let her go. Universal has yet to select a writer or a director for the Huntsman-centered project, though Sanders does remain on the list of possible director candidates.

This is what we call “saving face” as almost every news outlet that has reported this story has mentioned how shockingly sexist it is that Stewart would be let go by Universal, but her director would still potentially be kept in the loop, as neither got good reviews, and at least Stewart has/had the fanbase. Now by saying they’re not letting Stewart go, they can hire Sanders and then have her politely decline after offering her a low sum of money to come back. Just watch.

Keanu Reeves Reveals Some Most Excellent Plot Details About ‘Bill & Ted 3’!

by Scott Alminiana

Greetings most excellent dudes and dudettes! Last week we reported the awesome news that Bill & Ted 3 had landed a director. I know, I’m still like whoa! It’s been 23 years since Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan took us on a most Excellent Adventure and 21 years since their Bogus Journey. Damn, that just made me feel old!

Ted “Theodore” Logan himself, Keanu Reeves recently spoke with GQ and he explained some of the plot details.

One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever written and to change the world. And they haven’t done it. So everybody is kind of like: “Where is the song?” The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lost their rock. And we go on this expedition, go into the future to find out if we wrote the song, and one future “us” refuses to tell us, and another future “us” blames us for their lives because we didn’t write the song, so they’re living this terrible life. In one version we’re in jail; in another we’re at some kind of highway motel and they hate us.

Whoa! That sounds heavy, dudes. Looks like Wyld Stallyns  have their work cut out for them if they are going change the world and party on. I’m sure Wyld Stallyns will save the day and bring the sweet sweet rock n’ roll to us all.

‘The Wolverine’ Is Not A Sequel To ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

by Shawn Madden

If you didn’t know by now, filming has begun on The Wolverine, and details are starting to leak out in small bits. The movie is set to follow Frank Miller and Chris Claremont’s legendary story arc in Japan. But this has many fans worried still due to the horrendous storyline and over abundance of characters that were seen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Hugh Jackman has however made numerous statements that make it seems that, just like many of us, wants to forget the last film. And now it appears that the film will be more of a reboot and less of a sequel. In a recent interview with Total Film Magazine Jackman stated the following:

“We’ve deliberately not called it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and feel like a standalone picture. With an all-new cast and setting it in Japan, it’s going to give us a whole new visual aesthetic. The approach to character means we won’t be overloaded with mutants and teams and the like, so it’ll be more character-based. I think in many ways it will feel like a completely different X-Men film.”

It’s a pretty smart move to keep the title as being The Wolverine (which was actually Darren Aronofsky’s decision) to separate itself as much as possible from the previous film. And the fact that the film will not be crammed full of unnecessary characters is also good news being that some of the previous X-films have definitely suffered due to an abundance of extra characters leading to what felt like a half-assed pieced together story.

For awhile it almost seemed like this movie would never see the light of day. Especially so after Aronofsky walked away from the project. Jackman even admits that he  was worried about it never happening.

“I’m just really glad it’s happening. For a while it’s felt like a rocky ride. I think it’s the best idea we’ve had, the strongest script we’ve had and that now we really have an opportunity to make something really great. I’ve been waiting for it so long now. I think half the material in my one-man show is about the wait for The Wolverine!”

I was a little more excited myself to see what Aronofsky would have done with the character than Mangold but this news does give us a little sigh of relief. Hopefully they can pull this off and re-vitalize the franchise like First Class did.

The Wolverine claws its way into theaters on July 26, 2013.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Reveals Script For Sequel To ‘Double Impact’ Is Written!

by Shawn Madden

Let’s keep it real. You can NEVER have enough Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Especially not ones where you get JCVD playing not only one of the the lead roles but two. Double Impact is definitely one of Jean-Claude’s best films and it looks like we may just get a sequel. When talking to Next Movie the actor revealed that a script for a sequel has been written.

“I wrote the script with a friend of mine Sheldon – He [co-wrote] “Bloodsport” and “Double Impact” with me,” he told us. “Hopefully, somebody smart enough, like an agent or a producer, can put that back together…I’m excited about it, you know?”

JCVD also expressed the lack of having any franchises in his career.

“I have no franchise. I lost ‘Bloodsport,’ ‘Lionheart. Double Impact’ [would be] a great franchise. Today, Chad would be like the guy in ‘JCVD’ and Alex would be the guy like ‘The Expendables.'”

“I came up with a great story set in Los Angeles. [Chad] is a producer, making pictures with a big house behind him. Alex is gonna go on vacation and has some problems with the Triads. Why?  Because Chad went to Hong Kong and to get some loan money using [Alex’s] face, all of that bulls**t. And Alex comes [to Los Angeles] to see Chad and he’s full of s**t, has a girl pregnant, and she’s the sister of the big boss from South Central. It’s like ‘Double Impact’ in Los Angeles.”

I mean he does have the Universal Solider franchise but we really don’t need another one of those. I am on board for this one though. Let us feel the impact once again damn it! More black silk underwear!
