‘The Social Network’ Star Armie Hammer To Play The Lone Ranger Alongside Johnny Depp

Posted: 17 May 2011 06:40 PM PDT



We've known about a movie based on the classic hero of old, The Lone Ranger, for over three years now.

We've also known that superstar Johnny Depp would be involved since September of 2008 when he made an appearance at a Disney event to announce his involvement in Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and of course, The Lone Ranger, in which we all assumed he'd be playing the titles role.

We soon found out that Depp would actually be playing Tonto instead, and since then many names have surfaced as possible candidates for the coveted high-profile role. Everyone from George Clooney to the more recent Ryan Gosling was mentioned, but Walt Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have now officially found their man: Armie Hammer. [...]

Sam Raimi Grabs Michelle Williams To Play Good Witch In ‘Wizard Of Oz’ Prequel

Posted: 17 May 2011 04:30 PM PDT



Everything is coming together rather nicely for director Sam Raimi's Wizard of Oz prequel Oz, The Great and Powerful thus far.

After a rocky start trying to lock in a lead, things have settled down and quite the impressive cast has been put together. The prequel stars James Franco as a snake oil salesman who's whisked off to the lands of Oz in his hot air balloon, where he'll find himself in the middle of a power struggle before becoming the eventual "Wizard of Oz." But before Franco was confirmed, Robert Downey Jr. was set to play the part and Johnny Depp was mentioned as a possibility when Downey left.

Said power struggle is ongoing between three sisters, the witches of Oz. Two of the sisters are wicked, and will be played Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. And then, of course, there's the good witch, Glinda, who has now been cast as well. That role has been filled with two-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, who will team up with Franco's character to fight her evil sisters and ensure they don't take control over all the land.

First Teaser Trailer For Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Adventures Of Tintin’

Posted: 17 May 2011 03:50 PM PDT



We've heard a lot about the planned trilogy of performance capture Tintin movies being shared between director/producers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson over the past year or so, and now we finally have a teaser trailer for the first of those three movies, The Adventures of Tintin.

With Jackson now directing the two-part adaptation of The Hobbit, it doesn't look like he'll be doing anything more than producing on the Tintin movies, leaving room for someone else to step in and take the job. But for now, the Spielberg-directed first installment looks like a lot of fun.

You can check out the teaser trailer for The Adventures of Tintin by continuing below now!

The movie stars Jamie Bell as Tintin, as well as Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones, and Mackenzie Crook. [...]

TARDISblend 26: The Doctor’s Wife

Posted: 17 May 2011 01:09 PM PDT

Doctor Who

It begins with a knock at the TARDIS door, while still in deep space, and an important message from a long-lost Time Lord friend. The distress signal prompts the Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) to literally leave the universe, and leads them to a junkyard asteroid. The matrix and power of the TARDIS is immediately drained, leaving them stranded on this odd world, where they confront a mysterious entity called the House (Michael Sheen). What secrets does the mad bitey woman known as Idris (Suranne Jones) hold for the Doctor?

During TARDISblend 26, we review the events of the long-awaited Neil Gaiman-penned episode, The Doctor's Wife, an episode that proves to be much of the best Doctor Who has offered in a long time [...]

Marvel Comics To Publish ‘Castle’ Graphic Novel

Posted: 17 May 2011 11:30 AM PDT



Marvel made a big announcement on Monday that they will be releasing a graphic novel based on the popular ABC detective show Castle. Titled Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm, the 112-page hardcover will feature a story written by Brian Michael Bendis (Powers, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) and Kelly Sue DeConnick (Osborn), and will feature art by Lan Medina (Fables) with a cover by Carlos Pagulayan (Hulk).

The story will center on the character of Derrick Storm, the fictional detective created by the fictional writer Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion on the television series). So it is not a story about the characters from the show, rather it is about characters created by the characters from the show. This won't be the first time that ABC Studios has released material "written" by Richard Castle, as there are 3 mystery novels already available. However, this will be the first time a novel has been released featuring the character that made Castle famous (on the show).

Axel Alonso, Marvel Entertainment Editor in Chief, said of the project, "It's exciting to bring the Derrick Storm novels to life for the first time ever. Whether you're new to the world of 'Castle' or a long time fan, there's something for everyone in CASTLE: RICHARD CASTLE'S DEADLY STORM—and it's the kind of book that reaffirms Marvel's commitment to creating new fans of comic books."
