The Vampire Diaries is a surprisingly brilliant show on the CW. Yes, it starts off as what you’d expect from the name, but after around seven episodes, it becomes something much more. The romance takes a backseat to the plot, it becomes an ensemble, and the story moves forward at a breakneck speed. It’s refreshing. I can’t help but give The Vampire Diaries my praise.
Director Christopher Nolan downplays sci-fi elements in some of his movies — in particular, The Prestige and Inception. His main focus is the characters and plot progression. So it’s interesting that his current project lined up is a straightforward sci-fi entitled Interstellar.
Director Robert Rodriguez took Frank Miller’s graphic novel Sin City and made a heavily stylized comic book movie with a memorable cast. It wasn’t farfetched that he and the fans would want a sequel. The only problem was that it took years for the ball to get rolling. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is currently filming, and the latest actor to join is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Filming for Thor: The Dark World is well underway with Game of Thrones very own Alan Taylor taking over directing duties; which of course means there’s changes for Thor’s second outing. Jaimie Alexander, who plays Sif, sat down with to discuss the new film and Sif’s relationship with the god of thunder.
My interest in Zack Snyder’s take on Superman continues to grow. The released trailer showed a Superman we aren’t accustomed to on film. Yes, there’s a sense of hope, but it’s clear that it’s a struggle to get there.
You would think that after Tony Stark drove off into the sunset with his new best-friend-forever Bruce Banner in The Avengers, that he’d have a cushy life for at least a year or something or another. Based on the trailer and nearly all the production stills we’ve seen so far, it isn’t the case at all. It looks more like Stark is going through complete hell. It’s a given when he’s an arrogant hero, who made friends with a guy whose bad temper flattens cities. But as Robert Downey Jr. said: Stark had Banner promptly deported.
Not long ago there was a rumor circulating that Hugh Jackman would play Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. It didn’t take very long to become fact. Today, Jackman took to Twitter to reveal that he’s doing more than just a quick cameo like he had in First Class.
Disney and NASA have partnered up a couple times in the past. Once with giving NASA The Avengers to uplink to the International Space Station for six cosmonauts to enjoy. The second is developing hands-on activities about living on the Space Station, using Buzz Lightyear for the fictional yet educational voyage for children.
