Edward Norton In Talks To Join Jeremy Renner & Rachel Weisz In ‘The Bourne Legacy’

Posted: 13 Jul 2011 07:20 PM PDT



We've known for a while now that Matt Damon would not be returning for the fourth film in the Bourne series, titled The Bourne Legacy. We've also known that two–time Academy Award–nominee Jeremy Renner (The Town, The Hurt Locker) would be replacing Damon as a new character along the same lines as Jason Bourne, but not as Bourne himself.

Since then Rachel Weisz has been cast as the love interest, and now it's being reported that Edward Norton is in talks to join the cast as well. Norton would be playing the film's villain, but not much else is known about the character or his villainous ways.

Hopes are for The Bourne Legacy to begin filming by this fall. The movie will be directed by Tony Gilroy, who wrote the screenplays for the previous three Bourne movies, as well as Dolores Claiborne, The Devil's Advocate, State of Play, and Best Picture nominee Michael Clayton, which he also directed.

Sam Raimi’s ‘The Evil Dead’ Remake Hits The Fast–Track With Bruce Campbell, Diablo Cody & New Director

Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:18 PM PDT



A reboot, remake, sequel, and whatever other word you want to use has seemed to have been talked about when it comes to Sam Raimi's cult classic Evil Dead series. Every once in a while we'd hear something about it still happening, but nothing substantial had ever come of it until now.

Star Bruce Campbell joined the Twitter the other day and continued ensuring us that it was happening, but instead of the reassurance coming and going as it had so many times before, some more official announcements have now followed.

It's being reported that The Evil Dead will in fact be remade, and that the project has been placed on the fast–track to production. Raimi and Rob Tapert will produce through their Ghost House Pictures, along with Campbell (though it's still uncertain whether he will return to star, or whether the Ash character will even be used at all).

Jaw–Dropping 15–Minute ‘BioShock Infinite’ E3 Demo Released To The Masses

Posted: 13 Jul 2011 04:20 PM PDT



Remember back in September, when Irrational Games and 2K released a beautiful 10–minute gameplay peek at their 2012 prequel title, BioShock Infinite?

Since then—with such a long wait in front of us at the time—the game has remained relatively quiet. Even at the recent E3 convention, what the man behind it all, Ken Levine, brought to show off was kept securely behind closed doors for the most part. Yes, we got a very tiny glimpse and some info on the game being compatible with PlayStation Move, as well as word of an original PlayStation Vita BioShock game, but we didn't get to see what those people saw behind those closed doors—the very same footage that scored BioShock Infinite an embarrassment of convention awards.

Now, we see what they saw. The 15–minute E3 gameplay demonstration for BioShock Infinite has been released online, and it's a wild, wild ride. You can see it for yourself by heading below now! [...]

‘Batman: Year One’ Release Details & Box Art

Posted: 13 Jul 2011 12:13 PM PDT

Batman: Year One Blu-ray

DC Entertainment provided us with a little more information for the upcoming Batman: Year One animated feature film that is coming in October, and let me tell you, alongside the release of that box art (click the art here at right for larger view) ... the details have me really excited.

If you've followed our previous news about this upcoming straight to DVD and Blu-ray feature, then you've already had a glimpse of what's to come [see the First Look and trailer], but let me break it down one more time for all the kids in the back.

Batman: Year One is an animated adaptation of the classic 1987 Batman comic book series Batman: Year One created by multi-time Eisner Award-winning writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzuchelli. The story redefined Batman's origins for a new generation and it's one of the very few post-Crisis of Infinite Earths origin stories to actually stick for a character. And the reason for that is that it's a simple take on The Batman. Bruce Wayne swears an oath to justice and to protect the people of Gotham City after his parents were viciously murdered. Also, the book is just as much about commissioner Gordon while he was still a lieutenant. It's a tale of two men seeking justice in a world of corruption. A story of two men crossing paths and finding that they need each other to accomplish their goals. Year One also features a brand new take on the character of Catwoman. Searching for justice in her own way, Selina Kyle takes to the streets as a vigilante who a taste for theft, and after a chance encounter with The Dark Knight, she's inspired to don a costume of her own. It's a thrilling crime drama with the best superhero while he is still setting his roots as a crimefighter [...]

Sherlock Holmes: Year One #5

Sherlock Holmes: Year One #5
Writer: Scott Beatty
Penciller/Inker: Daniel Indro
Dynamite Entertainment
$3.99
Release date: July 13, 2011

I love Sherlock Holmes, though I have not read any of the novels as of yet. Until I do though, there's a different way to read about the detective -- in comics. I have watched a lot of the movies and TV shows, and seen how the master detective uses his powers of deduction to solve what some consider to be impossible crimes.

This 6-issue series is called Sherlock Holmes: Year One and it is a look at how the team up of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson came to be. As the series begins we see brutal murders happening, and it will of course be up to Sherlock Holmes to solve these murders. The villain is known as "The Twelve Caesars Killer" as he been striking fear into the people of London. As Holmes begins to discover the possible secret behind this vicious murderer's secret, it is questioned as to whether or not Holmes may be a part of the problem. While Holmes and Watson discover the methods and reasons for the crimes, they are still not able to deduce who is responsible [...]
