| Listen Now: Sample Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ ‘Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Score Posted: 10 Aug 2011 09:29 PM PDT  In recent months David Fincher's upcoming remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been an enigmatic figure in the film world, from the release of a controversial poster that featured star Daniel Craig (playing disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist) with his arm around a topless Rooney Mara (assuming the key role of haunted hacker Lisbeth Salander from Noomi Rapace) to the leaking of a very brief teaser trailer that presented an onslaught of images set to a propulsive cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" recorded by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Late last year it was announced that Reznor would be reteaming with English musician (and producer of four NIN albums, among others) Atticus Ross, who he had successfully collaborated with on the score for Fincher's critically-acclaimed box office hit The Social Network, to provide the score for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake. Now, Sony Pictures has released a 7-minute sample of Reznor and Ross' score at the film's official website; you can listen to it below this article in the embedded YouTube video [...]      |
| Watch Now: ‘A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’ Theatrical Trailer Posted: 10 Aug 2011 08:06 PM PDT  First they went to White Castle, then they escaped from Guantanamo Bay; now, everyone's favorite stoners, Harold and Kumar, are about to have a very 3D Christmas in their third adventure, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. The first photo was released from the film showing Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) along with Neil Patrick Harris (playing himself) in a very festive scene (see photo above). Now, the first theatrical trailer is online and you can watch it here [...]      |
| ‘Transporter’ TV Series Coming To Cinemax Posted: 10 Aug 2011 07:21 PM PDT  A new 12-part television series based on the Transporter films that starred Jason Statham is currently in production and will debut on the cable movie channel Cinemax next year. British actor Chris Vance, who has played recurring characters like Whistler on Prison Break and Mason Gilroy on Burn Notice, will take over for Statham in the role of Frank Martin, the titular man whose job it is to transport certain people or objects no matter what danger lies in his path. His three rules are: never change the deal; no names; and never open the package. Naturally, as you may have seen in the movies, those rules are made to be broken, and they always are [...]      |
| Marvel Teases The Return Of The Human Torch To The Fantastic Four Posted: 10 Aug 2011 05:08 PM PDT  Marvel has been releasing preview images this week to announce the next big story for one of their flagship titles, Fantastic Four, and specifically the return the of currently left-for-dead Human Torch. The images started on Monday with a simple "4" over a picture of the Earth, possibly signally a return of the original line up. We got a bit of a change up with Tuesday's image, which showed the current team, complete with Spider-Man, in their Future Foundation uniforms. Wednesday brought us the big one though, with a big beautiful image of the original team, complete with Johnny Storm. Wednesday's teaser was drawn by Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. The only words in the announcement were a simple "Coming November 2011." [...]      |
| Vin Diesel’s Latest ‘Riddick’ Adventure Begins Casting Posted: 10 Aug 2011 01:54 PM PDT  It's been more than a year and a half since we first reported that a new movie featuring Riddick, the badass monster-slaying criminal with excellent night vision first played by Vin Diesel in the 2000 sci-fi/horror hit Pitch Black, was going ahead with Diesel once more starring and David Twohy, the writer and director of Pitch Black and its big-budget 2004 sequel The Chronicles of Riddick, back on scripting and directing duties (you can read about that HERE). The movie will be titled simply Riddick and will reportedly be smaller in scale than Chronicles and feature the character doing what he does best: kicking all kinds of ass while saying very little. The Chronicles of Riddick was intended to be the start of a new trilogy for the character as he ventured into the realm of dark fantasy as opposed to the B-movie creature feature style of Pitch Black, but Universal Pictures put any plans for future sequels on hold when the movie only grossed back $57 million of its reported $110 million budget. Undeterred by this development Twohy and Diesel have persisted in bringing a new Riddick movie to the big screen over the years; in that time Diesel has found success with the Fast and the Furious franchise and Twohy has directed A Perfect Getaway.

| New ‘Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol’ Image Features A Hooded Tom Cruise and Fire Posted: 10 Aug 2011 11:44 AM PDT  Paramount Pictures has recently released a new promotional image from their upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol showing a hooded Tom Cruise looking pensive while standing in front of a scene of major destruction. You can check out a larger, full version of the image by clicking the thumbnail at the bottom of this post. I spotted a portion of Moscow's Red Square in the background, so I'm assuming this is depicting the Kremlin bombing that puts the film's plot in motion. In Ghost Protocol, when the Kremlin is destroyed and Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his Impossible Mission Force team are implicated in the bombing, they must go on the run to find the real culprits and clear their name lest they be branded as terrorists [...]      |
| Early Look: ‘Uncanny X-Force #14′ Continues The Dark Angel Saga Posted: 10 Aug 2011 10:28 AM PDT  Opinions vary a great deal when it comes to the quality of the mutant books in the Marvel Universe these days. Rick Remender, Jerome Opeña, and Dean White are working together to craft some real drama and excitement in an X book that isn't X-Men; it's an X-Force series. The story arc title, Dark Angel, is purposefully misleading. When old school X heads hear Dark Angel they think Dark Phoenix, but this story focuses on Archangel. Uncanny X-Force #14 finds the team trying to save Archangel from completely losing his soul to evil. We have some early pages from the issue for you to check out, but be warned there are potential story spoilers in these pages so check out the art at your own risk [...]      |
| Milla Jovovich To Reunite With Paul W.S. Anderson Once Again For ‘Resident Evil 5′ Posted: 10 Aug 2011 09:36 AM PDT  That's right, folks, another Resident Evil movie is on the way! After 2010's Resident Evil: Afterlife, that's probably not exactly the most exciting thing to hear, but nevertheless, the fifth movie in the franchise is on the way, and it will be called Resident Evil: Retribution. Bloody Disgusting has the scoop on the news, which gets even better for you die hard fans. Not only are they making a fifth movie, but star Milla Jovovich will be returning to the role of Alice for husband/director Paul W.S. Anderson, who is also returning. Jovovich has appeared in all of the films so far, while Anderson has only directed the first and last (Afterlife) installments...though he wrote and produced all of them. The hopes at the moment are to begin filming in Japan come this October, with a September 2012 release in the sights. [...]      |
| A Farewell To The Bats: 4 Batman Comics Ending With DC’s Launch Posted: 10 Aug 2011 08:00 AM PDT  Hey everyone, today's comic book pull-list is going to be a sad one, as we say farewell to four Batman-related series coming to an end this week. Last week, we saw the final issues of many great comics, and in the future, we'll see even more titles fall to the DC Relaunch. Honestly, it's like DC Entertainment has become The Anti-Monitor and all our favorite books are infinite earths phasing together to destroy the comics of the DC Universe. Books like Superman and Secret Six have already fallen into the void of the relaunch, but this week will be especially difficult for me as a Batman fan, as we see the deaths of some comics that are near and dear to my heart: Batgirl, Batman and Robin, Detective Comics, and Red Robin. Sure, for the most part we'll be getting an alternate earth version of these titles, but will they be the same as we've known them? No, of course they won't. So, with your patience, a glass of soda, and a handful of pills to numb the pain of the loss, I would like to give a proper send-off to one of my favorite eras in the history of Gotham City. After Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis, there was a storm in Gotham City with the displacement of Bruce Wayne, the original Batman. Many identities were changed with this shocking news including the likes of Robin, Batgirl, and even Batman himself. And this new take on these characters provided a cornucopia of creativity. But enough back-story, right? You know the drill, I'm here to tell about some awesome comics [...]      |
| Comic Review: Elric: The Balance Lost #2 Posted: 10 Aug 2011 06:40 AM PDT  Elric: The Balance Lost #2 Elric created by Michael Moorcock Written by Chris Roberson Art by Francesco Biagini BOOM! Studios $3.99 Release date: August 3, 2011 I love this series. Yes, I know it's only had two full issues, but the set up is awesome. It looks like Chris Roberson has narrowed the current theme to include three well-known incarnations of the Eternal Champion: Elric of Melnibone, Dorian Hawkmoon, and Corum Jhaelen Irsei. The twist is that he has introduced a new character, Eric Beck, who is just starting to realize that he is another of these champions. The writing is superb, I sincerely hope Michael Moorcock is as satisfied as I am with it. The quick changes between the layers of the multiverse, the phrasing, the whole atmosphere of the comic just embodies everything we know and love about the Eternal Champion [...]      |
