• Iron Man 3 Continues The Avengers

    Timothy

    Iron Man 3 will release on May 3, 2013, and director Jon Favreau considers the film as a continuation of Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers. In a way, it does make sense. Marvel wants their films in the same universe, and keeping those elements would establish that.

    “In theory, Iron Man 3 is going to be a sequel or continuation of Thor, Hulk, Captain America, and Avengers.”

    -Jon Favreau

    Some consider these series of films as a “chapter one” for Marvel films. Starting and ending this chapter with Iron Man would be fitting. And make no mistake: Marvel intends to translate more comic book characters onto film; “chapter two” will further expand the movie universe.

  • Hans Zimmer Won’t Be Composing Superman

    Timothy

    Last week a rumor spread that composer Hans Zimmer would score Zack Snyder’s Superman film. It wasn’t an odd rumor considering Superman is produced by Christopher Nolan, whose last three films were scored by Zimmer. The man himself cleared things up on Superman:

    “[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][…] John Williams, the greatest living composer — full stop. And that happens to be one of his greatest themes. So no. And I’m not thinking of rewriting Beethoven’s ninth either. It just sounds like a thankless task, you know? So that’s unequivocally a no. I have never spoken with Zack Snyder.”

    -Hans Zimmer to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Zimmer does have a point: The Superman theme composed by John Williams is a classic that’s synonymous with Superman. It could potentially hurt the new movie to compose a new theme. Whoever composes for the new movie should write compositions for scenes, but keep the theme intact.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

  • Mel Gibson in The Beaver

    Timothy

    A trailer came out for Jodie Foster’s film The Beaver starring Mel Gibson, who plays a man named Walter Black. A corporate leader and family man, Walter becomes depressed and detached from his life and family. He finds a beaver puppet, which he uses to deal with problems he couldn’t deal with otherwise.

    The movie is quirky and appears as a black comedy. Walter is emotionally damaged and Mel Gibson portrays it perfectly. And who isn’t surprised by that? He’s had crazy antics that he could easily channel for Walter, but he’s a talented actor, all jabs aside.

    The Beaver is directed by Jodie Foster and written by Kyle Killen.

  • Musical Comedy Starring Robert Downey Jr.

    Timothy

    Warner Bros. pushes forward a musical comedy with a script and lyrics written by Brian Yorkey, and music composed by Tom Kitt. The award-winning team developed the story with Anonymous Content, along with Robert Downey Jr. and wife Susan Downey. And yes, Robert Downey Jr. will star in the musical.

    Downey will play one of the two songwriters who become bankrupt after their first big musical becomes a failure. Searching for creative inspiration, they become counselors at their childhood theater camp.

    Robert Downey Jr. has experience in theater, including Broadway show American Passion. He’s a very charismatic actor, and it’ll be a pleasure to see him bring his singing onto the big screen.

    What can I say? I’m a huge fan of the man. I’m stoked for his musical comedy.

  • Aaron Eckhart Confirms Two-Face Won’t Appear in The Dark Knight Rises

    Timothy

    More news comes through for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises: Aaron Eckhart met with the director and brought up how people are curious if Two-Face will be making in appearance in the film — unfortunately Nolan informed him that Two-Face won’t make an appearance in the third film.

    “Chris and I had a meeting, on the beach, just the two of us … I said, ‘Chris, a lot of people are asking me if I’m in the next Batman. And Chris said, ‘Yes?’ I said, ‘Am I?’ He looked at me and he said, ‘No.’”And I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken. But Chris has his reasons and my life must go on.”

    -Aaron Eckhart to MTV News.

    I still would’ve preferred Two-Face making a cameo despite the end of his story arc in The Dark Knight. Eckhart is a talented actor, and he’s clearly passionate about the role of Harvey Dent.

  • Let It Be Music Video

    A group of 80s and 90s stars sing Let It Be in this video for a Norwegian show. It’s nothing short of surreal.

  • News on Zack Snyder’s Superman Film

    Timothy

  • Christopher Nolan’s Last Batman Film Confirmed

    Timothy

    Christopher Nolan confirmed that The Dark Knight Rises will be the last Batman film that he and Christian Bale will work on. Nevertheless, Nolan said in an interview that he’s happy to work on the third and final Batman movie.

    “I must say that I’m glad—I’m very, very glad—to be embarking on the last chapter of our Batman saga without any sense of obligation or duty to the studio. They did very well with Inception. So I’m able to go into finishing our story in a very enthusiastic way.”

    -Christopher Nolan

    Now the question on people’s minds is whether Warner Brothers reboots the franchise or not. It shouldn’t be necessary. Comic books continue moving forward with their stories despite getting new artists and writers. Why not do the same with the films? It’s limiting to keep rebooting comic book movie franchises and retelling the same stories. There’s decades worth of stories that could translate well onto film.
