Check Out The Teaser Trailer For ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’ Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:08 PM PST Yeah, well, that wasn't what we expected. The first trailer for the upcoming film, Snow White And The Huntsman has been released, and it shockingly looks kind of amazing. Watch the teaser trailer here below. The film is obviously based on the tale of Snow White, but is very much a revisionist take on the narrative, finding our heroine being hunted down by a woodsman, who ultimately teams up with the titular beauty to take down her evil stepmother [...]

Marvel Comics Reveals Digital Comics Initiative For Early 2012 Posted: 10 Nov 2011 07:03 PM PST Marvel Comic's Ultimate Comics line was the first to be offered same day digitally and in print kicking off with Jonathan Hickman's four-issue run on Ultimate Comics Thor. Now the house that Stan and Jack built has announced the next step in their digital comics plans. Starting with Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6 in January every book in the Ultimate line will come polybagged with a code to get the digital version of that particular issue through the Marvel Comics App on Android and iOS devices [...]

Poster For ‘Beauty And The Beast 3D’ Theatrical Release Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:00 PM PST With The Lion King proving that the market very much wants to see their childhood favorites hit the big screen once again, and in 3D no less, Disney has decided to finally give us the transfer we've all be wanting: Beauty And The Beast. Yahoo! has the first poster (see it here below in full) for the upcoming theatrical re-release in 3D, and while in itself isn't much to look at, knowing that the film will be hitting theaters this January is more than enough to get one excited [...]

It’s Official: Billy Crystal To Replace Eddie Murphy As Oscar Host Posted: 10 Nov 2011 04:45 PM PST In an effort to delete the previous week's events and get things moving in the right direction again, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that none other than Billy Crystal, one of the greatest Academy Awards host ever to take the stage, will be returning for a 9th time to replace the recently departed Eddie Murphy. It was thought that Crystal might be an option after it was reported that he would be involved in the ceremony whether he was hosting or not a while back. [...]

Challengers Of The Unknown Return With ‘DC Universe Presents #6′ Posted: 10 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST DC Comics announced today that there would be a brand new creative team and story arc for the DC Universe Presents title starting with issue #6. The interesting thing about DC Universe Presents, which is currently focusing on the Paul Jenkins-scripted and Bernard Chang-drawn Deadman story, is that with each arc comes new characters throughout the DC Universe. So, starting with DC Universe Presents #6, Dan DiDio (DC Co-publisher and Co-writer of O.M.A.C. with Keith Giffen) and Jerry Ordway will be taking over the series for a Challengers of the Unknown revival, while Ryan Sook is still on covers. The story details are obviously limited at this point, but from what we do know about previous incarnations of The Challengers is that it will be a team of explorers in the midst of a bizarre and rich science fiction world [...]

A&E Debuts Interactive Online Prequel To Stephen King ‘Bag of Bones’ Miniseries Posted: 10 Nov 2011 01:30 PM PST A&E is pulling out all the stops for the premiere of Bag of Bones, a two-part miniseries based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King, with the launch of an online narrative prequel to the story that will provide an interactive exploration into the characters and locales of the latest King tale to be adapted for television, once again by the ubiquitous Mick Garris.

3D Blu-ray Review: Chicken Little Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:45 PM PST Chicken Little 3D Blu-ray/DVD Combo Directed by Mark Dindal Starring Zach Braff, Garry Marshall, Joan Cusack, Steve Zahn, Amy Sedaris, Don Knotts, Patrick Stewart Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment Release Date: November 8, 2011 Is the Chicken Little 3D Blu-ray the end of the world, as we know it? Chicken Little falls into that same mediocre Disney animated film category as Meet The Robinsons and Bolt and the more recent Mars Needs Moms. The movie proves that good animation can only get you so far. Without a compelling story, enjoyable characters, or good jokes, the film ultimately falls flat. The heart and storytelling of Pixar are sorely missed in Chicken Little, which relies too much on outdated references and animal gags that don't entirely make sense in the world they've built [...]

Comic Review: The Sixth Gun #16 Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:00 PM PST The Sixth Gun #16 Written by Cullen Bunn Art by Brian Hurtt Colors by Bill Crabtree Letters by Douglas E. Sherwood Design by Keith Wood Oni Press Release Date: October 26th, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Much to the chagrin of two of my very good friends, who've been trying to get me to read this book for months, this was the first time that I've read The Sixth Gun. I have to admit, right off the bat, they were right. It's, let's just say, unique. And not in a weird or strange way, I mean it literally. I've never read a comic quite like this before. Keeping in mind that this was the first time I've read this book, overall The Sixth Gun #16 was very enjoyable. This issue was part five of a story arc, but, for the most part, I was still able to understand what was going on. There were a few spots were I was a little confused, but nothing that kept me from having a great time reading this book […]

Clive Owen Joins ‘Recall’ Posted: 10 Nov 2011 10:53 AM PST When it comes to writers, no one makes a film more intriguing than one Paul Schrader. Variety is reporting that the writer has found a lead for his next project, a film entitled Recall, as Clive Owen has become attached to the project. Currently being set up by Moonstone Entertainment, the film has already been sold to Latin America and South Korean territories [...]

NBC Buys Pitch From Bryan Fuller For Hannibal Lecter TV Series Posted: 10 Nov 2011 09:23 AM PST If there has ever been a pairing more interesting than this one, I have yet to hear about it. Deadline is reporting that the newly launched Gaumont International Television has sold an hour-long drama series to NBC. Entitled Hannibal, the show is penned and produced by TV juggernaut Bryan Fuller, and is based around the hugely iconic pop culture entity, Hannibal Lecter [...]

Trailer For ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’ Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:01 AM PST It's hard to argue when expectations are lived up to, no matter how low. The first trailer for the upcoming sequel Journey 2: The Mysterious Island has hit, and it looks like utter garbage. Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Josh Hutcherson, and follows the story of an adventurer who teams with his stepfather to hunt down his grandfather, who himself is lost on a mysterious island. See, it all comes together [...]

Eddie Murphy Out As Oscars Host; Brian Grazer To Replace Brett Ratner As Producer Posted: 10 Nov 2011 07:00 AM PST What a crazy story this has become. Just yesterday it was reported that Brett Ratner had stepped down as a producer of the 84th annual Academy Awards ceremony after a gay slur and other poor speaking decisions rightfully saw him in boiling water. At the time it appeared that Eddie Murphy---Ratner's choice to host the awards---would still be taking on the job, but the Academy was now on a desperate search for a replacement producer. [...]
