‘Monster’ Director Patty Jenkins Might Helm ‘Thor 2′ Posted: 22 Sep 2011 08:12 PM PDT The God of Thunder doesn't look too happy. Well ever since Thor director Kenneth Branagh decided against taking the helm of a sequel to the Mighty Marvel movie hit that has rang up worldwide ticket sales of $449 million, Marvel Studios has been searching for a new director to guide Thor and his awesome hammer Mjolnir through another dazzling cinematic adventure destined to be post-converted to 3D. Although directors such as James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), Breck Eisner (The Crazies), Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones), and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) have been mentioned in connection with the assignment, the latest word has Patty Jenkins, who directed Charlize Theron to a Best Actress Oscar in the 2003 drama Monster, possibly wielding the mighty megaphone and getting a snazzy parking spot at Disney Studios as the new director of Thor 2 [...]

Watch Now: New 4-Minute ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ Trailer Posted: 22 Sep 2011 07:21 PM PDT The first full trailer for the upcoming David Fincher-directed remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been released today. You can watch the trailer below this article. Running nearly four minutes, the new trailer mixes the extravagant visuals (a Fincher specialty) we first glimpsed in the teaser trailer that was "leaked" several months ago with a stronger emphasis on the film's story and the character of Lisbeth Salander, played in the remake by Rooney Mara (The Social Network). The central mystery of the story is laid out nicely without spoiling any important information [...]

Comic Review: Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness #3 Posted: 22 Sep 2011 06:55 PM PDT Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness #3 Written by Andy Hartnell Art by Chris Bolson Colors by Adriano Lucas Letters by Marshall Dillion Covers by Paul Renaud, Nick Bradshaw Dynamite Entertainment and IDW Publishing Release Date: September 8, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Don't you just love it when two great things come together? I'm not saying this is as good as a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup...mmm...chocolate and peanut butter...er, um. What I mean is this may seem like strange match, but it may well turn out to be a great combination. Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness #3 gives us a smattering of both the world of a Danger Girl and that of Ash [...]

‘RoboCop’ Remake Director Discusses His Vision For The Film Posted: 22 Sep 2011 06:20 PM PDT Ever since MGM announced several years back that they were putting a remake of the 1987 sci-fi action classic RoboCop into production not much progress has been made, which fans of the original film would see as a blessing. For a time Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain) was attached to direct the remake, but he moved on to other things. Most recently Brazilian filmmaker Jose Padilha (Elite Squad) was handed the reins of the RoboCop redux, and the director gave an interview to Comic Book Movie about his plans for the remake and what he hopes to accomplish by taking on a beloved genre film [...]

Watch Now: ‘Digital Decay’ Featurette From ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 1 Special Edition Blu-ray Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:10 PM PDT Timed to the upcoming second season premiere of The Walking Dead Anchor Bay Entertainment is releasing a special edition DVD set of the show's problematic but ultimately stellar first season on Blu-ray and DVD with even more extra features than their previous release of the first season. Today the company has released a clip from one of the newly created bonus featurettes and you can watch the video below this article. Titled "Digital Decay," the 90-second clip takes brief look at the CGI effects created for the series, notably the additional zombies. There's nothing revelatory in this video but it does give you a feel for the ways that digital effects are used to create a worthwhile end result. Among the new features to be found on the Season 1 Special Edition are audio commentaries with various principal members of the cast and crew, behind-the-scenes featurettes, extra footage, and a special version of the pilot episode presented in black and white.

Guillermo Del Toro Offers Brief Update On ‘Incredible Hulk’ TV Series Posted: 22 Sep 2011 04:06 PM PDT We haven't heard a whole lot about the new TV series based on The Incredible Hulk currently being developed by Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro and Battlestar Galactica executive producer David Eick. And, unfortunately, we'll have to continue waiting for something juicy. But Mr. del Toro did take the time out of working on his next film, Pacific Rim, to drop a little update on Del Toro Films, the writer, director, and producer's official fansite. You can check out what he had to say below. Del Toro touched on who's inspired him in the development of the show, as well as why he's drawn to superheroes with monster–like qualities to them. We've been coming up with an angle that is really strong. I am a fan of Peter David, Pak and Loeb but I like very much what individual writers and artists have done through the decades. [...]

Blu-ray Review: Mars Needs Moms Four-Disc Combo Posted: 22 Sep 2011 01:09 PM PDT Mars Needs Moms 4–Disc Blu/3D/DVD/Digital Combo I 2–Disc Blu/DVD Combo I DVD DIRECTOR: Simon Wells WRITER: Simon Wells, Wendy Wells STARRING: Seth Green, Seth Robert Dusky, Dan Fogler, Joan Cusack, Elisabeth Harnois, Mindy Sterling, Tom Everett Scott, Kevin Cahoon Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment RELEASE DATE: August 9, 2011 Having the very unfortunate disposition of costing $150 million to make, and only bringing back $38 million worldwide in return, Walt Disney's Mars Needs Moms can be considered one of the biggest flops of all time...and that, my friends, is not a good thing to have hovering over you. But is the movie really as bad as this monumental flop indicates, or are there redeeming qualities worth seeking out? The movie follows Milo, (performance captured by Seth Green, voiced by Seth Robert Dusky), a normal everyday boy who has a bit of an argument with his mother (Joan Cusack). As most boys would, he feels badly about snapping at her with some very unkind words, and proceeds to go and apologize. But when he reaches her bedroom, a strange bright light is making its way through the bottom of the door, and he goes in to check out what it is. [...]

Check Out This Early Look At ‘Avengers Solo #1′ Posted: 22 Sep 2011 12:30 PM PDT Often both Marvel and DC can do too many spin-offs from their most popular titles. You'd think DC Comics is all about Batman or Superman and Marvel Comics is all about Wolverine or Spider-Man. Sometimes these spin-off series can offer up some entertaining stories though. In mid October, Marvel will be releasing Avengers Solo #1 featuring Hawkeye. Yes it's another Avengers book. That's exactly what I thought too. But this story is already intriguing. Check out the preview pages here below [...]

‘Star Wars’ and Adorable Kittens Collide In ‘Jedi Kittens Strike Back’ Posted: 22 Sep 2011 11:45 AM PDT Back in August, YouTube user FinalCutKing released a video called Jedi Kittens, a very short clip of two wonderfully adorable kittens having themselves a lightsaber fight. That video was only a brief 16 seconds long, but the kitties have returned in a much longer sequel titled Jedi Kittens Strike Back, which sees them having a good ol' Star Wars dogfight before both of their ships go down and the 'sabers come out yet again! You can see Jedi Kittens Strike Back by clicking on over to the other side now. [...]

Teaser For Andrea Arnold’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ Hits Posted: 22 Sep 2011 10:01 AM PDT When trailers like this are released, it really makes writing about film all the more entertaining.

First Look At The Cast Of Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows’ Posted: 22 Sep 2011 09:22 AM PDT Never let it be said that director Tim Burton doesn't have a distinct style. With his big screen take on the cult TV series Dark Shadows in the midst of production, EW has premiered the first photo of the collected cast, and while it definitely looks fine, it does the polar opposite of spark interest [...]

Geek Discussion: Is The ‘Mass Effect’ Movie Doomed Already? Posted: 22 Sep 2011 08:01 AM PDT A movie adaptation of the mega–hit BioWare video game franchise, Mass Effect, is still in the very early stages of development, but already basic details are being shared that are pretty interesting and potentially unsettling. Last we had heard, the project would be making an appearance at this past San Diego Comic–Con with BioWare's Casey Hudson and screenwriter Mark Protosevich, but because it was so early, not much was shared. Not that it appeared, anyway. As it turns out, Legendary Pictures, the studio behind the planned movie, actually answered a few questions that fans were asking via the Twitter on their website. And a couple of their answers could have fans unsure of what's to come. Continue reading to see the Q&A and to chime in below with your thoughts on the Mass Effect movie! Q: Will it just be an adaptation of the first game, second game, or a completely new story? [...]
