• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Adapted as Movie

    Timothy

    The film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is underway with Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) at the helm. In the starring role as Lincoln is Broadway actor Benjamin Walker.

    Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a fictional biography detailing Lincoln’s life as a vampire hunter, rise as president, and battles against vampires during the Civil War.

    Walker will portray Lincoln from early adulthood to the middle-aged president, complete with his famous beard.

    Sounds ridiculous, right? Ridiculous fun.

  • Henry Cavill Cast as Superman

    Timothy

    The new Superman film being produced by Christopher Nolan and directed by Zack Snyder has recent news: actor Henry Cavill landed the role of Clark Kent and Superman.

    “In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Brothers, Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

    — Zack Snyder

    I gotta admit: I was hoping for Brandon Routh getting another shot with a better script or Tom Welling making the leap from Smallville to a Superman movie — though I’m sure they don’t want the reboot to feel like a continuation of Superman Returns or Smallville.

    Interesting enough, Cavill was considered for the role in the past by both McG and Brett Ratner. It’s meant to be if the opportunity presents itself again and Cavill lands the role.

    The film is slated for release in December 2012.

  • Prometheus Release Date and Michael Fassbender Joins

    Timothy

    The release date for director Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is bumped to June 8, 2012 by 20th Century Fox. This move can be seen as having confidence in the original sci-fi. And why shouldn’t there be? Both Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof (Lost) are working on the screenplay together.

    And in other news? Starring opposite of Noomi Rapace will be Michael Fassbender, whose most notable role is in Inglorious Basterds. He’ll be playing an android in Prometheus.

    Fassbender is currently portraying Magneto in X-Men: First Class.

    It’s hard not being optimistic for Prometheus with all the people involved. It’s definitely a film to keep an eye on.

  • Official ThunderCats Photo Hits the Net

    Timothy

    Warner Bros. released an official ThunderCats photo, which captures the original feel while updating the look.

    The new animated series intends to appeal to both old fans and newcomers to the cartoon. And not just that, but take the old, loosely connected plots and weave them together to make a more cohesive premise.

    The debut for the new ThunderCats series is still unknown, but it will air on Cartoon Network.

    Does this mean my ThunderCats belt buckle won’t be retro anymore?

  • Spider-Man Behind the Scenes Photos

    Timothy

    What’s that? You want to see more pictures of the Spider-Man reboot starring Andrew Garfield? Here’s an amateur photograph taken on set:

    The costume has a definite Ben Reilly Spider-Man influence, and it translates well.

    The use of practical effects and having a stunt man actually swinging makes the film all the more exciting. Marc Webb’s Spider-Man seems really on track doing things right.

    The film is scheduled for release on July 3, 2012.

    I cannot wait.

  • 3 Smallville Actors Make a Return

    Timothy

    Smallville is on its tenth and final season with its conclusion fast approaching. And what’s in store for the February 4th episode? The return of Lionel Luthor (John Glover), Martha Kent (Anette O’Toole) and Chloe (Allison Mack).

    The premise the CW released? (Spoiler Alert):

    Clark (Tom Welling) is surprised to see Martha (Annette O’Toole) on the news speaking at a pro-vigilante rally. However, surprise quickly turns to horror when he and Lois (Erica Durance) watch as Martha gets shot on national television.

    Meanwhile, Lionel (John Glover) reveals himself to the world and reclaims LuthorCorp from Tess (Cassidy Freeman) and Oliver (Justin Hartley). Lois and Chloe (Allison Mack) decide to cheer Clark up by showing him videos from thousands of vigilante supporters professing their support for The Blur. Videos were created and submitted by actual “Smallville” fans. Mike Rohl directed the episode written by Don Whitehead & Holly Henderson.

    It’s great that a few old cast members are reprising their roles for the final season of Smallville, but we’re all still hoping for a Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) return. It only makes sense for all the key players to make a last appearance in the show’s final run.
