Breaking Even More Records

Justin — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:10:45 +0000

First off, I’d like to start this post by saying this: for those of you who have yet to see The Avengers, get out of under that rock and head on down to the nearest movie theater.

Now that I’ve got that one off of my chest, here it goes, just two weeks after its opening weekend 207 million dollar record breaker, Marvel’s The Avengers is on its way to passing yet another milestone: one billion dollars worldwide. Yes, that’s right, one billion dollars. This approximate total comes from the 373 million dollars made at the domestic box office and the 628 million dollars made internationally.

Maybe it’s time to go see The Avengers.

The third trailer for The Dark Knight Rises hit the web this morning, touting the anticipated new flick as the “Epic Conclusion to the Dark Knight Legend.” My thoughts.

Bane's Voice sounds better
Holy Flying Bat Thing
Still no idea what Joseph Gordon-Levitt is doing

The trailer will be running in front of the Indie Summer Sleeper, "The Avengers", opening this friday.

Where is Shipwreck?

Check out the theatrical trailer for Jon Chu‘s G.I. Joe Retaliation is now online. Opening June 29, 2012, it stars Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins.

So, what do you think? No Weather Dominator? No ravenous plant life, no Serpentor, no La La La. Looks like they distilled it down to big guns and Ninjas, which works for me!

A follow-up to the 2009 release of G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA, which grossed over $300M worldwide, Paramount Pictures, MGM and Skydance Productions, in association with HASBRO and di Bonaventura Pictures, commences production on G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

Thanks to Machinma.com for the trailer.

Thanks to the Sony Pictures Twitter feed (the International Distributor of the film), we get a first glance of some promotional material for the film. While it doesn’t say much, it is very Gailo/Spaghetti Western influenced, which has this movie nerd pumped!

Just give me Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, Ennio or Goblin on the OST, till then, enjoy some Luis Bacalov heatery below.

Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Kurt Russell, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, opens December 25.

Captain America 2?

Justin — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:34:24 +0000

Attention Avengers fans, here’s yet another date to mark in your calendars: April 4th, 2014. On that day, two years from now, Marvel’s sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger is set to hit theaters. This means that Captain America will be the third Avenger to be getting a sequel, along with Iron Man and Thor (Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, both set for release in 2013). The story of this sequel is going to pick up right where The Avengers leaves off, having Captain America work with Nick Fury and S.H.E.I.L.D. in the modern world. Stay tuned for more news about these sequels in the not too distant future.

Black Widow Sizzles in new Avenger’s Clip

I always wondered what role she will have on the team, like what are pistols gonna do when the guy next to you shoots lasers out of his hands … but, give Joss Whedon and Scarlett Johansson 45 seconds and a chair, and they’ll give you the world.

First Look: Snyder’s Man of Steel

ilango — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:52:25 +0000

Man of Steel on facebook gives us first look at the redesigned logo for director Zack Snyder’s Superman Reboot. It’s what I expected, Snyder is a bit of a one trick pony, dark, high contrast, dirty, but I can’t blame him for the photoshop. I’m sure this will have some fans of the “Big Blue Boy Scout” up in arms, as it’s quite a departure from the classic icon.

Avengers Season 2 has cameos galore!

ilango — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:42:27 +0000

Check out this new image Marvel has released today in promotion of season 2 of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heros. I guess we can expect an expanded universe, we already know that Red Hulk will be making an appearance. I think it’s pretty cool they are incorporating Spidey and Wolverine into the show. One question, if Ant-Man is over there, who is Yellow Jacket?

Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heros returns weekend on Disney XD.
