  • TDKR: New (low-Res) Image Of Tom Hardy As Bane; Nolan Reveals New Info On The Character - With new images and even the first tv spot popping up, it shouldnt be long before promotion for Christopher Nolans Batman threequel hits full kilter. For now though, heres a new scanned image of Tom Hardy as grumpy ol Bane, doing that thumbs-hooked-in-armor thing he seems to enjoy so much. Also, as you can gather from the txt accompanying the image, Nolan reveals a few more tidbits about the character. He confirms that the mask her wears is not breathing apparatus, but a means for him to receive a constant supply of anesthetic to keep some terrible pain at bay. He also comments on not wanting to compete with the late Heath Ledgers Joker - ”We didn’t want to compete with Heath. We wanted more of a monster – Bane’s the man who physically breaks Batman. It’s an irresistible force versus an immovable object.”.. The image was scanned from Rolling Stone magazine,
  • DREDD Screened At Cannes; Described As DIRTY HARRY Meets DISTRICT 9 - IM Globals Stuart Ford (the company that financed Dredd alongside Reliance Big Entertainment) tells Deadline of todays screening of the movie, The reaction was great. It was as packed as any screening I’ve seen in Cannes. There were people sitting on the floor in the front and the back of the room. He also goes on to claim that despite the fact the air-conditioning at the screening broke down, no one walked out. A good sign of its quality? He also calls it, an edgy, cool film with a rocking soundtrack, and says that in comparison to other upcoming superhero movies it, appears very fresh and distinctive. It’s Dirty Harry meets District 9. Well, hes bound to be a little bias, so stay tuned for any other reactions we get. However, theyre apparently having no issues with selling the film at the festival, so it might just end up being
  • MEN IN BLACK 3: What Are The Critics Saying So Far? - Still cant decide whether or not you want to see Men in Black 3 next week? Well, you may want to hold off on making a decision until the rest of the reviews start coming in, but we do have a handful for you to check out here after the threequel was screened in the UK earlier this week. While one or two arent that favourable, the general consensus so far seems to be that its a film well worth checking out. Have a read of the excerpts below and be sure to click on the various links for the full-length versions. Men in Black 3 avoids the threequel curse of the likes of Spider-Man 3 and X-Men: The Last Stand and instead ends up being the best film in the Men in Black franchise. Fantastic fun which will leave you wanting more. **** Source: ComicBookMovie.com [Josh Wilding] The feted Apollo 11 mission to
  • BLADE RUNNER Sequel To Feature A Female Protagonist - Its been a while since weve last heard something official about the new Blade Runner film, which will have Ridley Scott (director of the original movie, which starred Harrison Ford) return to the sci-fi/dystopian universe. Lately, Scott has been promoting his new sci-fi film Prometheus (which sees him returning to the Alien universe), and in a lengthy interview with The Daily Beast, he updates on the current status of the Blade Runner sequel/spin off. Funny enough, I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we’ll definitely be featuring a female protagonist. It was previously rumored that Harrison Ford could return as Deckard in the new film, though that rumor was debunked (though Scott expressed interest in working with Ford again in the future). Scotts next project following Prometheus will be The Counselor (where he reunites with Michael Fassbender, after previously

  • Heads Up Marvel, Actress Angie Harmon Wants To Play SHE-HULK....Really, Really Badly - Former Law Order star Angie Harmon is showing her fan-girl to the world and doesnt care. We have to love her for that. She has the look and has previous experience as a lawyer from Law Order. Plus, she reportedly knows her She-Hulk history inside and out. If Marvel ever brings Bruce Banners promiscuous cousin to the big screen it should be a short search for the role . “I have to be her,” Harmon told EW. “You don’t understand. I have to be her. It’s the best quote ever [in The Avengers] when The Hulk turns around and goes ‘I’m always angry.’ I was like, Ohmygod! I stood up in the theater and literally cheered. I did.” As for wearing the skin exposing She-Hulk’s costume? ”I would rock that like there is no tomorrow. I would kill that outfit. I’d put these 36Cs on

  • Has Dwayne The Rock Johnson Revealed His Involvement With A DC Movie? - Well, this is interesting! Dwayne Johnson has potentially revealed his involvement with an upcoming DC Comics adaptation. After a fan suggested that he would be a good choice to play Gravedigger or John Stewart, he took the time to reply with the cryptic tease you see below. The wrestler turned actor recently told CBM that he is still very interested in playing Black Adam (you can find that interview HERE) so whether or not this relates to that or something else (Lobo perhaps?!) is unknown at this point. Funny U say that.. RT: @krystal_burt: @ron2smoove I could see Rock playing in DC movies.

  • Thors Hes Adopted Joke In THE AVENGERS Comes Under Fire - Im sure we all remember Thors response to Black Window informing him that his brother Loki had killed a whole bunch of people in The Avengers. The God Of Thunder replies - hes adopted. Funny yes? Well, not everyone thought so. See, apparently this was seen as an attack on adopted people, because if Loki is evil, and Thor said hes adopted, that must mean he is implying..all adopted people are evil! Umm, no. Quite a few organizations and outlets have made it very clear that they have no idea how to put things in perspective, and were quick to express their outrage at such an insensitive attempt at humor! But one article in particular just took stupidity to a whole new level and prompted me to write up this response. In an piece entitled The Avengers attack on adopted children is mean and unfunny, Andrea Poe of The Washington Times

  • Animal Man Volume 1: The Hunt Review - pimg class=alignleft src=http://0.tqn.com/h/comicbooks/1/9/U/2/1/animalman.jpg alt=Animal Man width=100 height=150 /The New 52 has brought us a lot of great new content and has rejuvenated some of DC's most classic characters. Animal Man is a character that did have some interesting arcs under the now famous Grant Morrison,#160; but didn't really take off and become a top tier member of DC's elite. Writer Jeff Lemire and artist Travel Foreman are looking to change that with their relaunch of Buddy Baker. Like a lot of The New 52 comics, there has been a facelift of the backgrounds and continuity of many of these favorites. The fans seem to be resonating as The New 52 line of comics has been a huge success overall. I would say Animal Man is looking to be a top runner in the best of The New 52 as what I'm seeing is really top notch.

  • The Avengers Movie Gallery - pimg class=alignright src=http://0.tqn.com/h/comicbooks/1/9/M/2/1/GH-47259_R.jpg alt=Thor and Captain America width=150 height=100 /The Avengers are set to launch onto the screen May 4th and I for one and super excited about it. This film has been the culmination of years of time, millions of dollars, and massive speculation on the internet. It was the plan of Marvel all along to combine the characters, actors, and plots from their previous films to resolve in one epic film based on The Avengers comic book series. Marvel made such a smart move in bringing in house all the financing to keep the rights to their characters. One good example is that even though Spider-Man is part of The Avengers now in the comic books, Sony owns the movie rights to the character...so no Spider-Man for The Avengers.
