Laurence Fishburne Set To Play Superman’s Boss In Zack Snyder’s ‘Man Of Steel’

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 11:28 PM PDT



The cast of Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, Man of Steel, is coming together nicely, and now an actor has been chosen to play the big boss man to Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) and Lois Lane (Amy Adams) at The Daily Planet, Perry White.

Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Laurence Fishburne has been cast to play White, who's typically known as a tough–but–fair editor–in–chief of the newspaper. Fishburne just recently had a two–season run on the hit CBS show, CSI, which he departed from in May.

The actor joins a cast that includes Cavill, Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Russell Crowe.

Man of Steel will be released on June 14, 2013. [...]

Watch Now: Marvel One-Shot ‘The Consultant’ Clip

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 09:42 PM PDT

The Consultant

Face front, true believers! Marvel Studios has recently posted a short clip from the new "one-shot" The Consultant, which is to appear exclusively on the upcoming Thor Blu-ray.

I actually really love this idea, and if this experiment is ongoing, I couldn't be more excited. What Marvel's clearly doing with this "one-shot" is adding a high quality short film as a bonus feature on Thor that expands the overall Marvel film universe. The clip, which you can watch here below, features previously developed characters Special Agents Caulson and Sitwell discussing a problem concerning General Thunderbolt Ross, who was featured in The Incredible Hulk, and their reluctant solution to the problem, who we learn is "The Consultant."

Director Len Wiseman Makes Three–Boob Promise For ‘Total Recall’ Remake Despite PG–13 Rating

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 07:16 PM PDT



What's the most important question anyone could ask when it comes to Len Wiseman's upcoming remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger science fiction classic, Total Recall? Well, that would have to be "will the three–boobed prostitute be included or not?" Naturally.

Thankfully for us, the fine folks over at Collider have gotten to the answer of that very question. In a lengthy discussion with Wiseman, much information was given, including but not limited to the exciting proclamation that the three–boobed woman will, in fact, be in the movie. This also comes with a little bad news, however, as it was made very clear that the Total Recall remake will come with a "hard" PG–13 rating. The aforementioned mammary trifecta will still be somehow involved, but it sounds like you'll have to wait for the unrated DVD cut of the movie to truly see Wiseman's revival of the most famous of inconsequential characters.

New Ultimate Spider-Man

Marvel comics has been teasing for a while that there will be an all-new character taking over the costumed identity of Spider-Man over in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man and today they have made the official reveal.

The character's name is Miles Morales, and he is a just your regular teenager from New York who will learn that with great power comes, well, you know the rest. The big surprise that is making waves around the comics community is that the character will, shock upon shock, be half-black, half-Hispanic. The character will make his first appearance in the pages of Ultimate Comics Fallout #4, out in stores on August 3, 2011 and will then go on to star in the new Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, which comes out on September 14, 2011.

Check out the preview images from Ultimate Comics Fallout #4 here [...]

See The Dark and Strange Extended Festival Trailer For Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Twixt’

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 04:28 PM PDT



The Godfather and Apocalypse Now director Francis Ford Coppola has a new movie on the way titled Twixt. The movie will be hitting the festival circuit soon, including the Toronto International Film Festival which has premiered the first official extended festival trailer for the movie.

Twixt stars Val Kilmer as a novelist named Hall Baltimore whose success was thanks to a series of books about witches, but that success has long since departed. In hopes of trying something new, Baltimore uses the history and inspirations of a haunted town with a dark past involving a mysterious murder to craft his next tale.

The movie looks more like a Terry Gilliam film than Coppola, but it certainly looks intriguing. You can see for yourself by heading below now! [...]

Watch Now: ‘Hitman: Absolution’ Gameplay Preview Is Here!

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 10:33 AM PDT



We've been waiting for it for a painful amount of time, and now, finally, we have our very first peek at the gameplay of Hitman: Absolution, the fifth title in the mega–hit franchise.

Yes, there was the announcement trailer and that first cinematic trailer, but cinematics only take us so far. What we crave is gameplay footage, and perhaps more than any other, we craved gameplay footage from a new Hitman game. The last installment came out over five years ago, and fans have been desperate for a new title to get their hands on ever since.

You can get your first peek at the gameplay in Hitman: Absolution by clicking on over to the other side. [...]

Make It Happen: Boba Fett Carbonite Crunch Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's Boba Fett Carbonite Crunch Ice Cream

Check out this clever faux product someone created that will make every Star Wars fan scream "WANT!"

It's Ben & Jerry's Boba Fett Carbonite Crunch Ice Cream, a vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirl and chocolate Han Solo miniatures frozen in carbonite -- you can see the frozen chocolate Hans in the background!

Would this not be the fastest-selling ice cream in history? I can see the supermarket display now: a big cardboard Slave I replica that lights up and says,"Eat up! You're no good to me dead." Oh, imagine the possibilities! [...]
