The film, which is directed by John Singleton, will be released in theaters on September 23, 2011.

New Artist Comes To ‘The Amory Wars’ Posted: 18 Jan 2011 08:44 PM PST Children of the Fence, please welcome new artist Aaron Kuder to The Amory Wars: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3! Evil Ink Comics, in association with Boom! Studios, recently announced through TheAmoryWars.com that Kuder comes in, hand-picked from the ongoing artist, Chris Burnham, who, as evidenced by a post by Kuder himself at Tenton Studios forum, is moving on to do more work on a Batman title, probably solidified by his awesome work from Batman & Robin #16. I've been a fan of The Amory Wars since The Second Stage Turbine Blade, and the art for IKSSE:3 has been awesome, and I've really grown to love Burnham's work, but fear not! I've done a little digging, and I don't think fans of the series will have anything to worry about. Like I said previously stated, Chris Burnham hand-picked Aaron Kuder, and after exploring his work a little bit from his official art site, and a couple of other sites, and I absolutely love what I've seen [...] |
Seen The New Captain America Photo? Here’s What I See Posted: 18 Jan 2011 07:48 PM PST A lot of people reserve their criticism towards comic book super-hero movies on the basis of "at least they are getting made" -- to which I wholeheartedly reject. Case in point: the forthcoming Captain America film, which features a costume that looks radically different than the comic book version because it "translates" better to the big screen (Read: Take A Look: Best Shot Of Chris Evans As Captain America Yet!). I realize this could be due in part to the time period that the film is based in (1940s) and that a modernized version could pop up when we see Captain America in The Avengers film. But honestly, this is the first thing that came to my mind after seeing the high resolution images Marvel release yesterday (Click the image thumbnail). For those who have no idea who "Super Pro" is, he was a football super-hero that was officially licensed by the NFL. Marvel printed at least eight issues of the series. It was one of the darker periods during the early 90s that everyone tries to forget ever happened. [...] |
Watch: Claymation Ozzy Osbourne In New Lipton Iced Tea Commercial Posted: 18 Jan 2011 06:46 PM PST The Prince Of Darkness appears as a clay puppet in a funny new commercial by Lipton Brisk Iced Tea titled "How To Be Normal." Ozzy Osbourne's animated likeness shares and acts out indispensable advice such as "watch more television," "refer to your privates as 'naughty bits,'" and "grow a front butt." "But," says animated Ozzy, "why would you want to be normal?" Lipton Brisk Iced Tea has previous commercials along the same lines. Last month they released an equally brilliant video starring a claymation Danny Trejo. Trejo begins to tell us the plot of his movie, Machete, then takes a gulp of iced tea and acts out a summarized plot of the movie. In it, Machete Cortez hacks people open, makes love to beautiful women, and washes his hands. Watch the Machete video here. You can see the Ozzy Osbourne video by heading below. [...] |
Ricky Gervais Explains Random Disappearance During Golden Globes Posted: 18 Jan 2011 05:35 PM PST The recent Golden Globes are getting a ton of attention due to the controversial (sorta...it's not really all that bad -- has anyone even seen South Park?) hosting job by comedian Ricky Gervais. Most notably, Gervais took major shots at some questionably nominated films and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association themselves...during their own awards ceremony, nevertheless. Due to this, it was immediately said by one member of the HFPA that Gervais would not return as host, nor would his work ever be nominated. Unless they were bribed effectively enough, of course. Apart from all of that drama, a mini-mystery arose during the program where Gervais disappeared for about an hour or so, sparking conspiracy theories that he had been fired mid-show. This was not the case, as it turns out, as Ricky explained what happened. Click on over to read what the host had to say. [...] |
Darren Aronofsky Working On A Batman Comic Book? Posted: 18 Jan 2011 04:38 PM PST Director Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain, Pi, Black Swan) revealed that he's working on a Batman comic book project based on a script intended for film, according to a recent interview he did for Clothes To Film. Aronofsky said the Batman comic hasn't been officially announced -- possibly indicating that he's yet to approach DC Comics editorial office -- and that the story is being adapted from a script that's "difficult to make". Since Christopher Nolan is hard at work on the third installment of his own Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, it's more-or-less safe to say that Aronofsky's script is nothing more than a pet project at this point -- meaning a comic book would make sense. "We're going to do a comic version first and see what happens," Aronofsky said, indicating that a comic book would not necessarily dissuade him from pursuing a film version. "It seems like if you come up with an original script, in Hollywood it's not as effective as a comic book. It doesn't even have to be successful as a comic; I mean how successful were Kick-Ass or Scott Pilgrim? [...] |
Geek Peek: First Shadowy Image From Matthew Vaughn’s ‘X-Men: First Class’ Is Here Posted: 18 Jan 2011 03:41 PM PST The first official image from 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios' upcoming comic book movie, X-Men: First Class, has been released online. The image is meant to show off much of the cast, with young Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and young Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) leading the charge in front of characters like (starting from the left behind Fassbender and making your way right toward McAvoy) Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne), Emma Frost (January Jones), Azazel (Jason Flemyng), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Havoc (Lucas Till), Angel Salvadore (Zoe Kravitz), and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). You can see the first image from director Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class by clicking on over to the other side now! As you can see, unfortunately, the image is very dark and they're clearly trying to keep things still relatively mysterious. The image first showed up on MSN and has since been yanked down, so it's unclear whether it was leaked early or if Fox just doesn't like the look or what. Even so, it's making the rounds, so here it is! [...] |
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers Episode 1 Posted: 18 Jan 2011 02:47 PM PST Bob's Burgers Created by: Loren Bouchard Starring: H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal Fox Sunday 8:30/7:30c Fox has long relied on animated shows to fill their Sunday night line-up, and apparently Seth MacFarlane can't be the only source for them, so the network has turned to Loren Bouchard (Home Movies, Dr. Katz) to come up with a new creation. What he has given us is Bob's Burgers, a slice of life comedy is more King of the Hill than it is Family Guy, but are audiences interested in this style of comedy? Hopefully so, because it's a show that has a lot of humor, at least judging from the first episode. Bob's Burgers centers on Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) and his family as they try to operate a burger joint and keep it afloat. The first episode deals with Bob having to juggle his restaurant's re-re-re-opening, a health inspector that wants to ruin his business, and his wedding anniversary. The humor comes from some wild situations (the store being closed due to allegations the burgers are made of people) but it also stems from the relationships between the characters. [...] |
Redbox Sales Decline In Fourth Quarter As Netflix Rises Posted: 18 Jan 2011 02:03 PM PST Redbox, the company that operates DVD rental vending machine across the US, reported a decline in sales, according to the fourth quarter financial report by it's parent company Coinstar (CSTR). The company cited several reasons for the lower sales numbers, with the most prominently discussed reason being the new stipulation from movie studios to delay Redbox rentals of new DVDs until 28 days after they've been released. Essentially, this means when a new movie gets released to DVD, you can buy it through retail stores, but you cannot rent it for almost a month. Also mentioned in the financial report as reasons people weren't renting as many movies from Redbox, was because the movies they wanted were unavailable due to people returning popular DVDs to a different kiosks than they originally got the movie from. The only thing that was missing from the report was the looming competition from streaming media, which has no doubt taken a huge bite out of their customer base. [...] |
New ‘True Blood’ Season 4 Promo Video Teases The Arrival Of The Witch Posted: 18 Jan 2011 01:16 PM PST The fourth season of HBO's hit series, True Blood, is currently being filmed while fans wait impatiently for the show's return. Sadly, no trailer for the upcoming season have hit the 'net yet, but HBO has released a brief new promo that will make all of you fans of the ways of the witch very, very happy. Being unfamiliar with the books that True Blood is based on, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, I personally how no clue how much witches play into the storylines. That said, considering where things have gone in the first few seasons, I can only assume they'd fit right in at the party. You can click on over to the other side now to check out HBO's brief promo video for season 4 of True Blood! [...] |
Music Review: Pearl Jam – Live On Ten Legs Posted: 18 Jan 2011 11:20 AM PST Pearl Jam Live On Ten Legs Monkeywrench Released January 17 (UK) January 18 (U.S.: CD | MP3) 2011 I hate Pearl Jam. I've spent many hours on my guitar trying to sound as good as Stone Gossard and Mike McCready. I gave up a long time ago trying to play the bass like Jeff Ament and I have as much chance of being a better drummer than Matt Cameron as I have of finding a voice like Eddie Vedder in my armpit. I find them sickeningly good and I can barely stand it. Of course, I am joking about my 'hatred': I adore Pearl Jam. This year Pearl Jam has lined up a list of surprises to coincide with the 20th anniversary of its debut album, Ten. To kick things off comes the release of new live album, Live On Ten Legs. Recorded at various concerts during 2003-2010 and at 18 tracks long it's a good collection of Pearl Jam songs with at least one track from all of its back catalogue (with the exception of No Code) […] |
‘Paranormal Activity’ Gets A Japanese Sequel With ‘Tokyo Night’ Posted: 18 Jan 2011 09:21 AM PST Icon Home Entertainment has announced the upcoming DVD release of Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night, the officially sanctioned Japanese sequel to 2009's docu-horror Paranormal Activity. This direct-to-DVD sequel to Oren Peli's horror hit will be released in the UK on March 7, 2011. Typically, its been U.S. filmmakers who adapt Japanese horror films for American audiences, like what was done with The Ring and The Grudge, but for Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night, Japanese director Toshikazu Nagae has done the reverse, with input from the original U.S. producers. And this time, there's TWO bedrooms and apparently, twice the fear! See below for the official synopsis, as well as a still from the movie [...] |
