Guillermo Del Toro & ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Co-Creator David Eick To Unite For ‘Incredible Hulk’ TV Show

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 09:00 PM PST



If the initial news that ABC Studios and Marvel TV were developing a new live-action television series based on the comic book superhero, The Incredible Hulk, wasn't enough to have you jumping up and down with excitements, well...this just might help.

Deadline is reporting that visual mastermind Guillermo del Toro and David Eick, who helped create, develop, write, and produce Battlestar Galactica with Ronald D. Moore, are joining creative forces to help bring this new Incredible Hulk incarnation to life.

The duo will work together to craft the perfect pilot storyline, which Eick will write the script for and del Toro might just direct...if his ridiculous schedule allows him to, of course. Del Toro will also oversee the design of the Hulk himself, and how they'll take previous versions of the character and utilize them in creating their own vision of the massive, green hero. Even better, word is that the Hulk will not be all CGI as we're used to seeing in movies these days. Instead, they'll use a combination of prosthetics, CGI, and puppetry to attempt to deliver the ultimate new visual embodiment of this intimidating force. [...]

Watch Now: Aliens Cause A Ruckus In New ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ Trailer

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 07:54 PM PST



One of the movies that was relatively unknown but grabbed a lot of attention at this year's San Diego Comic-Con 2010 was director Jonathan Liebesman's (Darkness Falls, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) alien invasion movie, Battle: Los Angeles.

The movie is supposedly presented in real-time, following a team of Marines as they enter into a zone of Los Angeles that is under attack by aliens. It's been compared to movies like Independence Day and District 9 mixed with a lot of Black Hawk Down. It stars Aaron Eckhart (Thank You For Smoking, The Dark Knight), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Machete), Bridget Moynahan (i, Robot, Lord of War), Michael Pena (Crash, Observe and Report), and Ne-Yo (Stomp the Yard, Red Tails).

You can make your way down below now to read the short synopsis for the movie and take a peek at the new trailer. It certainly has a lot of potential, but when it comes to alien invasions they'll really have to wow us. [...]

Mike White Confirmed As New Director Of ‘Pride And Prejudice And Zombies’

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 06:54 PM PST



Lionsgate has selected Mike White to direct their adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an adaptation in itself of Jane Austen's classic, Pride and Prejudice.

Not too long ago it was reported that original director, David O. Russell, had decided to step away from the project, which was followed by the exit of star Natalie Portman -- both due to scheduling conflicts. And while Portman will remain on-board as a producer, Russell jumped over to a video game adaptation of the hit title, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for Sony Pictures.

After that, two top contenders to replace Russell in the director's chair emerged: Neil Marshall and Mike White. Marshall has a lot of experience having directed titles like The Descent, Doomsday, and Centurion, and was clearly the favorite for the job. White was something of an underdog, on the other hand, having only directed one feature, Year of the Dog, and typically being associated with comedy. But alas, White showed something to Lionsgate that they liked, and the underdog has prevailed as the victor. [...]

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 05:57 PM PST



Earlier today, mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer shared an early gift on Twitter: a new teaser poster for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

The movie, which is the fourth in the juggernaut Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is set for release on May 20, 2011. It reunites Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) as they attempt to find the fabled Fountain of Youth that was teased at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

They'll be joined by newcomer Penelope Cruz, who plays a woman from Sparrow's past who might just be trying to use him to get to the Fountain. Eventually she forces him onto the Queen Anne's Revenge, a ship Captained by the infamous Blackbeard (Ian McShane), putting Sparrow yet again into a tricky and dangerous situation.

Be sure to head on over to the other side to check out the curious new teaser poster now! [...]

See If You Can Survive The Zombies In This ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ Choose Your Own Adventure

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 03:59 PM PST



A while back, someone made an awesome Choose Your Own Adventure mini-game based on The Twilight Saga (Read: Play Now! 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' The 8-Bit Choose Your Own Adventure Game!). Basically, you just watch a short YouTube video and make a choice at the end to go to another video until your game is complete.

As fun and funny as that was, we may now have one that may top it for some. George A. Romero's classic 1968 zombie film, Night of the Living Dead, laid the foundation for all things zombie, and unless you haven't noticed, it created a pop culture monster...quite fittingly. Still, the movie is part of the public domain, which means no one really owns it and anyone can have their way with it. Enter Editing the Dead, a dissection and reconstruction of the movie that allows you to choose what you'll do next while trying to escape the hungry zombies. Unlike the Twilight game above, this uses the actual film, making it a must see/must play for anyone who loves Night of the Living Dead or zombies in general! [...]

New ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Poster Released; Let The Trailer Countdown Begin!

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 01:39 PM PST



A brand new poster for Jon Favreau's upcoming graphic novel adaptation, Cowboys & Aliens, has been released online via Yahoo! Movies.

The poster is simple but exciting enough for those of us itching to see the movie. The poster also serves a double-purpose: to keep us excited for the movie, which will be released next summer on July 29, 2011, and to set up the countdown to the movie's first trailer, which is just a couple of days away now!

The movie stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, and Paul Dano, and tells the story of an alien invasion in late 1800s Arizona, forcing rival cowboys and Indians to join forces and take on the intergalactic threat before it's too late.

You can click on over to the other side right now to see the new poster, read the full synopsis, and also check out the countdown to the new trailer, which you'll be able to see right here when the digits hit all zeroes (err...somewhere in that general area, anyway). [...]
