The early X-Men 3 reviews are starting to roll in… they’re actually a little better than I was expecting. At first everything looked like it would be disasterous, with mumblings of lack of proper budget… a rushed shooting schedule… and don’t even get me started about the director fiasco. Then … [Read More]
Seems like the previous rumours of Silver Surfer appearing in the next Fantastic Four film are getting more and more solid. This is good news since the Silver Surfer is not only cool as hell… but also one of the more complex characters in the Marvel Universe with a lot … [Read More]
WIth the huge $40+ million dollar opening weekend for Scary Movie 4, it comes as no surprise that the new spoof movie “Superhero Movie” is now being fast tracked to be in theaters within a year (They’re aiming for February 9th 2007). The good folks over at Cinema Confidential give … [Read More]
Not only has the big screen adaptation for the DC comic Superhero Captain Marvel (aka Shazam!) been green lit, but they’ve also got their director on board now, Peter Segal, who also directed Anger Management, 50 First Dates, The Longest Yard and even some non-Adam Sandler films too.

I got interested in comics pretty late… I didn’t really start reading any of them until I was around 22. It was neat actually reading the stories of all these superheroes that I’d always known about. But one “hero” whose popularity I never understood was Captain America. Why? Well my … [Read More]
There were rumours that Alex Proyas was set to film Iron Man, but now the rumour is that Nick Cassavetes (still showing on IMDB) is back on the lineup. Comments through Comic Book Movie suggest otherwise: Cassavettes told MTV he’s in pre-production on the film and that he plans to … [Read More]
I’ve mentioned before that I LOVED the first Hulk film. I thought it was thoughtful and character driven… which was kind of refreshing from the pure action driven comic model (don’t get me wrong, I like my action driven comic movies too!). Yes, it had some weaknesses, but overall I … [Read More]
There’s some eagle eyed people out there, and the sharp folks at Cinematical have perhaps found out the news that there is going to be a Spiderman 4 for definite. From company information for Hasbro from New Ratings comes this little gem: In a research note published yesterday, the analysts … [Read More]
Seems that my dreams for a Hulk 2 with Eric Bana are going on life support. Yes, I admit that I am one of the few people (even around The Movie Blog) who actually really enjoyed the first Hulk film. No, it wasn’t what people were expecting… but that can … [Read More]
The character of Psylocke is reported to be added to the already overweight band of characters in X-Men 3.
