Universal Pictures have released a new, international trailer for Kick-Ass 2, in which we get another look at Hit-Girl kicking Kick-Ass’s ass during training as well as hearing from Jim Carrey’s Colonel Stars and Stripes quite a bit. It’s an impressive voice he’s doing–and he also gets a stand-alone credit title at the end of the ad. Looks like Carrey is still a big draw for the international audience. The trailer itself is largely made up of footage we’ve already
In a video featured at the New York Times, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder described the process of filming the Battle of Smallville, as well as reproducing an International House of Pancakes restaurant on a soundstage in Canada where it could be mangled during the fight. The exterior of the restaurant was filmed in Illinois, where they were filming some of the Smallville sequences, while all of the interior shots were done on a set. “We always said that
A new line of Mini-Mates minifigures will kick off at San Diego Comic Con International this year based on the films of Kevin Smith and set in the “View Askewniverse” that many of his movies–as well as his comics and the occasional TV appearance–are set. The line will launch with a black-and-white 2-pack of Jay & Silent Bob figures, looking as they did in Smith’s first film, Clerks. (Have they ever made a Mini-Mate in a trench coat before? I’m
During an interview with Digital Spy (embedded below), Arrow star Stephen Amell told the interviewer that he hoped to see members of the Justice League turn up on the series. Asked about the prospect, he said that he didn’t have a preference as to which DC characters joined Arrow, except that if there are future guest stars, he hopes the writers would handle it in a way that makes sense with the world they’ve built on the show. “I’d like
While it’s been reported that director Zack Snyder has already signed on to direct the Man Of Steel sequel, it’s unknown what villain Superman will be squaring off against in Man Of Steel 2. However, it’s a pretty good bet that Superman’s archnemesis Lex Luthor will be making an appearance in the sequel, regardless of if he turns out to be the central villain or not. So what will the latest incarnation of Lex Luthor look like? Well, director Zack
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For became the third comic book movie of 2013… …to have its release delayed until 2014. Following in the footsteps of 300: Rise of an Empire and I, Frankenstein, the Sin City sequel will sit out this blockbuster-choked summer and try its luck next year in a somewhat less crowded field. The move comes amid a few days of new film and rescheduling announcements, with Marvel Studios staking out dates in 2016 and 2017
Fans who pre-purchased Man of Steel on Blu-Ray at Wal-Mart stores this week should re-enter their redemption codes to ensure that the film was credited to their Vudu account online, after the system experienced a temporary configuration error and was unable to properly credit the promotion to user accounts. ComicBook.com became aware of the error after attempting to redeem a pair of codes, neither of which worked. Attempts to contact Vudu or Wal-Mart support last night failed but this morning
Thirty years ago today, Richard Lester’s Superman III hit theaters in the U.S. Whether you remember it as “the funny one,” the beginning of the end of the Christopher Reeve series or just that movie they talked about a bunch in Office Space, Superman III was a polarizing superhero film back before the internet pitted everyone against each other whenever a new movie came out. Loaded with comedy relief in the person of legendary stand-up comic Richard Pryor, Superman III
ComicBook.com was the first to confirm that the longtime Justice League International creative team of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire would reunite for a new series later this year–and today, DC Comics confirmed it, telling Comic Book Resources that they’ll reassemble for Justice League 3000. The book will feature versions of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash as redesigned by former JLA artist Howard Porter. One assumes that the “3000″ in “Justice League 3000” will
We’ve already told you how Mark Waid and Chris Haley, two well-known Superman super-fans, responded to seeing a screening of Man of Steel. And there’s been exhaustive reporting on the critical response to the film, including our own response which was that we thought it was the best comic book movie ever made. But what’s the consensus in the comics community, now that the opening weekend is through and the dust has settled a bit? Well, as with critics and
Dan Harmon, the creator and executive producer of NBC’s Community who was recently brought back to the fifth and presumably final season of the cult hit sitcom, has finally seen season four. And he’s…unimpressed, we’ll say. Harmon, who had to watch season four in order to write season five, said during his Harmontown podcast yesterday that David Guarascio and Moses Port had created “impression, and an unflattering one” of Community and that they had failed to make the show their
A disaster analyst has pegged the damage done to Metropolis during the climactic battle between Superman, General Zod and his forces in Man of Steel at $700 billion–that’s five times what The Avengers would have cost New York, or roughly fifteen times the cost of the damage done in the real-life September 11 terror attacks on the city. They also guess that the financial fallout from the attack would ultimately end up costing $2 trillion. In fairness, there were six
Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer, who has been working on Y: The Last Man on and off for years, told MTV Geek earlier today that the film is still moving forward and could go into production in 2014. “We’ve got a script that’s as close as it’s ever been,” he said. “That could go into production next year,” Goyer told the site. “The first movie is meant to function as a standalone,” he said, “but hopefully continue. Hopefully
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Man of Steel, in theaters now. (Obviously.) In an interview with the Empire magazine podcast, Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer revealed that producer Christopher Nolan was opposed to the controversial ending to Man of Steel. The godfather of gritty, realistic superhero films was apparently not willing to go quite as far with perceived changes to Superman’s character as was the Watchmen director. “Killing Zod was a big thing and Chris Nolan, originally, said there’s
UPDATE: Confirmed. See quote below. Look out! Here come two Spider-Mans! Jeff Sneider of The Wrap is reporting that Sony has announced dates for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 4, presumably meaning that the original “trilogy” that Marc Webb had mentioned in interviews has been modified somewhat. According to Sneider, “[The n]ext 2 SPIDER-MAN movies (3 & 4) due June 10, 2016 and May 4, 2018!” Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures, confirmed
