SDCC: Marvel Studios Captain America Red Skull Footage!
by ilango on Jul.25, 2010, under Film
The footage begins with the title card “Norway, May 1942″ we see told older men in a stone castle-like interior. The walls are shaking, dust and dirt falling. The wall implodes inward as a Nazi soldiers come rushing in, and examine a crypt in the center of the room. And then Johann Shmidt (Hugo Weaving pre Red Skull) makes his entrance from the huge hole in the wall. He orders the surviving old man to hand over “The Tesseract.” The man tells Shmidt that what he is looking for is just a legend. Shmidt responds, “then why go through so much work to conceal it?” The crypt is opened, and inside is the bones of a crusader holding a misty crystal white cube. Shmidt picks it up, and says “The Tesseract was the prize of Odin’s collection.” But he isn’t fooled. He throws it down on the ground, smashing it to bits. This is not what he was looking for.
He then turns his attention to the wall, which contains a large wood caving of Yggdrasil, the Norse Tree of Life. In the wall he finds a hidden compartment. Hell pulls it out and opens it. Blue glow fills his face. Shmidt says to the man “You haven’t seen this yet, have you?” The man responds, “It’s not for the eyes of ordinary men.”

Machete repels out of a window using a man’s lower intestinal tract?! GRIMEY!!
“Machete” centers on an ex-Federale (Danny Trejo) who goes on a rampage of revenge when the organization that betrayed him. The exploitation-like film comes out in theaters everywhere on September 3rd. Anyway, here are a few new character posters for Machete. They’re all pretty much awesome, and I love that Don Johnson is in it. And don’t get me started on the hysterical badassery of Segal.

SDCC: AMC’s The Walking Dead Trailer

The Walking Dead is one of those comics that once you start getting into it, you just can’t pull away from it. I remember seeing Blair Butler on G4 gush about the love/hate relationship she had with Kirkman’s material. Her gripes mainly with character development, the build up characters and relationships only to see them die horrifically, emphasis on horrific! I’m not one to judge a man’s style of writing, but the way Kirkman forces the reader to feel uncomfortable is pure genius. Comics are meant to push boundaries …. rant over!
For weeks I kept wondering how faithful this series will be to the source material, especially considering the medium. I’m especially excited to hear that creator Robert Kirkman is heavily involved with The Walking Dead TV production. He actually wrote the script for episode 4. Kirkman expressed in the past how he never wanted to do a movie with his comic series, and doing a TV show was a really tough sell, especially with the edgy violent content that this show will have. AMC has really stepped up to the occasion though, and as you’ve seen in the images that have been released, they are pushing the limits of cable TV. |
Thanks to the power of youtube, we finally get our first peek at the footage from SDCC 10, video and synopsis after the jump.

The official movie synopsis
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallaxhe will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
