New Incredible Hulk Trailer


They just continue to make me think the new Leterrier Hulk is going to be better than Lee's Hulk.
I (possibly alone) will always love the Ang Lee Hulk but you have to hand it to Louis Leterrier and his efforts to relaunch the franchise.
Take a look at the new trailer here

Routh Talks Steel



I grew up thinking Superman was pretty cool, then I got a little bit older and came to think that Superman sucked. My world and thoughts on Superman changed when I saw Superman Returns. I found it to be one of the best moviegoing experiences of my life. I remember sitting, staring at the theater screen in complete awe. In saying that you can only imagine my excitement when I read a recent interview with Brandon Routh, from comingsoon.net about the upcoming Man of Steel movie, which he stars. According to Routh he is hopes that the movie will contain more Clark Kent and the humor he bring along to the story. I'm not sure how I feel about Clark Kent being any more funny than he already is. I think that as of now they have a pretty good balance between humor and seriousness. We can expect a new villain and for Superman to throw some punches at that villain. Routh also expressed that he hopes the new movie will strengthen the friend relationship between Louis and Clark, making them "buddies" again. Routh didnt have much to say on a Justice League project but he is now more accepting to the idea of a Batman and Superman collaboration in a single movie so long as they are teaming up and not working against eachother.
We can also expect Routh in an upcoming movie called Dead of Night, where he will play Dylan Dog, a nightmare investigator who gets caught up in dealings with zombies, werewolves, and Vampires.

Man of Steel should start filming early next year.

Mighty Morphin' Batman Ranger


Take a look at the differences between the Batsuit in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. One of the great things about this new Batman franchise is that they are taking the material as serious as possible. I'm starting to get the feeling they they might be heading in the wrong direction when it comes to the Batsuit. I guess its possible that every portion of the design in the new suit serves a function as armor (minus the bat symbol and ears of course). If they dont function as armor, im pretty sure Bruce Wayne isn't to concerend with how hardcore the grooved designs found in his cheast plate and sholderpads look. I guess its a minor detail to have negative comments about. After all the Green Goblin didnt seem to bother me much, yet the way in which the Spiderman movies are being approached is quite different than the current Batman franchise. Not even sure this needed to be posted... Just something i've been thing alot about lately.

OUCH!

Could we get a little more hurt in the movie business?

This is from imdb news.

James Bond Stuntman Seriously Injured After Crash
A stuntman working on the new James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace has been left with serious head injuries, after yet another onset car accident. Aris Comninos was driving the Alfa Romeo on a small and windy road near Lake Garda in northern Italy, when he lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a wall. Comninos was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Verona, where he has undergone surgery for his injuries. Another stuntman sustained minor injuries after the incident earlier this week. A spokesperson for the town of Limone sul Garda, where the 007 cast and crew have been shooting for the past fortnight, says the accident occurred during a car chase between Bond's Aston Martin and a truck. None of the cast members, nor director Marc Forster, were present at the time of the crash. Filming for the latest spy thriller, starring Daniel Craig as 007, has hit a number of setbacks. Just last Saturday, a limited edition Aston Martin sports car had to be fished out of Lake Garda after it skidded off a narrow road in torrential rain and plunged into the water. Producers were also criticized by the Bolivian government for allegedly "stereotyping" its people when they filmed scenes there, while filming in Chile was briefly halted when the town's mayor objected to the crew's presence.

7 Hurt in G.I. Joe Crash in Prague

Seven people were injured Saturday in a collision between a bus and several cars during the filming of G.I. Joe in the center of Prague, reports the AFP.

Video seen on the private Nova television channel showed the bus, and then other vehicles, being hit by an all-wheel-drive vehicle that appeared to have braking problems.

"It happened in a closed area that was rented out to the filmmakers for the weekend," said Prague police spokeswoman Eva Brozova.

Jirina Ernestova, spokeswoman for the emergency services, said the injured were treated in hospitals in the Czech capital.

"According to my information, there were only slight injuries," said David Minowski from the local production house Stilling Films.

You can view photos of the accident here and here.

G.I. Joe is scheduled for an August 7, 2009 release.

Cloverfield - Monsters + Zombies = Quarantine


Do you love handy-cam movies?
Is The Blair Witch Project you favorite movie?
Did you find watching Cloverfield to be the most exhilarating experience of your life?
Are you going to cry tears of joy when you watch Diary of the Dead?

If you answered yes to these questions then you will love Quarantine!

So this is what I get from the trailer alone. No other research involved here.
It looks like the U.S. Government seals off an apartment complex in L.A. and sends in an armed team of soldiers to investigate the apartment, they find a camera and the movie is the footage found on that camera. The footage appears to be some firemen and an idiot reporter lady heading to the apartment to interview some crazy lady. They go inside and the cazy lady starts eating everyone. Pretty rockin' if you ask me. It just goes to show that being a reporter who reports on zombies is not a good idea. Stick to killing them... with baseball bats... and shovels... or take a lesson from Shaun and use a cricket bat.

Check out the trailer here and check out the movie October 17th
