Zack Snyder Directing New ‘Superman’ Film; General Zod To Be The Villain

Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:15 PM PDT

Superman

After successfully translating comic books like 300 and Watchmen to film, Zack Snyder has been tapped to direct the next Superman movie, reports Deadline.

Also, The Hollywood Reporter reports that General Zod will be the villain in the new film.

Warner Bros. was certainly serious about taking the right approach to their premier super-hero franchise -- getting David Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade) to write the screenplay and luring Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception) in to oversee the project [Read: Christopher Nolan To Godfather 'Superman' Movie; 'Dark Knight' Sequel Being Written]. But now, it seems like the Superman movie we've always dreamed of seeing is actually going to happen.

"It's early yet, but I can tell you that what David and Chris have done with the story so far definitely has given me a great insight into a way to make him feel modern. I've always felt he was kind of awesome. I'll finish Sucker Punch and get right at it," Snyder told Deadline [...]

Survival Tips For The Coming Zombie Apocalypse

Posted: 04 Oct 2010 04:46 PM PDT



Raccoons and gophers and rabbit. Oh My! See… this is how it always starts. Very small. First with the cute and cuddly little animals rising from the beyond and attacking the unsuspecting. Then, me and my flock of festering freaks roll up in your hood and make a meal out of your friends and family.

I know it's silly. You know it's silly. But for some reason you'all living folk keep thinking that when me and my rotting gang of go-getters decide it's time to rise up and make our 'big' move, that locking your doors & watching reruns of Good Times until we all zombie-types starve to uh…death (yeah, not gonna happen) is gonna cut the mustard. Well, lemme tell you. It ain't.

Now, I don't have a date or nothin' like that though. But we zombies are coming. Some of us aren't the brightest potatoes in the shed, and well, we may not be so very well organized… but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security. Not that it'll matter, but y'all need to be prepared. And since I have a soft spot in my skull for you geeks, I decided to allow this handy little list of tips and tricks to avoiding immediate death to be compiled.

Who knows? It might even keep you alive long enough for good old Obvious Zombie (that's me!) to make it 'round your way and say hello... before I chow down on some of that sweet meat you hide between your ears [...]

Vampire Diaries soundtrack

The Vampire Diaries: Original Television Soundtrack will be released on October 12, 2010, so we here at Geeks of Doom are not only giving away this soundtrack, but also The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season DVD to one lucky reader!

One (1) winner will receive:

- One (1) copy of The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season DVD
- One (1) copy of The Vampire Diaries: Original Television Soundtrack

The Vampire Diaries serves up a biting mix of exclusive tracks unavailable elsewhere—including songs by Smashing Pumpkins and Gorillaz—plus favorites from season one of the hit TV show. From the gorgeous vocals of "Sleep Alone" by Bat for Lashes and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo to Digital Daggers taking on Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels," the collection offers a hip yet dark and compelling sesuous vibe.

Sky Ferreira's song "Obsession" is the lead track on the album and will appear on her eagerly anticipated debut, out in early 2011. Produced by Dave Tedder (OneRepublic, Beyoncé, Rihanna), "Obsession" is heard in the upcoming season of The Vampire Diaries, and is perfect for the show's intense visuals and storylines, as Ferreira sings: "Here's my confession, I don't just want you to love me, I wanna be your obsession." Ferreira, an LA-based Portuguese-American singer-songwriter and actress (Putty Hill), is currently working with Paul Epworth, Bloodshy & Avant, Dallas Austin and Linda Perry on her debut CD. The inclusion of "Obsession" on The Original Television Soundtrack: The Vampire Diaries marks Ferreira's first international single release.

Original Television Soundtrack: The Vampire Diaries featuring the hit single "Obsession" by Sky Ferreira is available now on preorder and everywhere October 12th. Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season available on Blu-ray and DVD. […]

Movie Review: Red Hill

Posted: 04 Oct 2010 11:35 AM PDT



Red Hill
DIRECTED BY: Patrick Hughes
STARRING: Ryan Kwanten, Steve Bisley, Tom E. Lewis, Claire van der Boom
Strand Releasing
RELEASE DATE: November 5, 2010 (limited)

If anything is terrifying for an authority figure to think about, it's a very dangerous man that they had a big part in putting away for a long, long time coming back to town for bloody vengeance. This is exactly what happens in Red Hill.

The movie follows Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanten), a good cop from the city who, after some difficult times and heavy stress lead to his wife (Claire van der Boom) losing their unborn child, transfers to the small town of Red Hill in hopes that their new attempt at starting a family works out a lot better. The day after they arrive at their new home, Shane begins his new job with the town, which is so small that they even still use horses to get around from time to time.

Things start slowly as Shane settles in and tries to get acquainted with his duties and new colleagues, but things do not take long to pick up speed. [...]
