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.”

OTRC caught up with director Joss Whedon (Serenity) at the San Diego Comic-Con to talk about the team that is being put together for Marvel’s “The Avengers” movie.
“I’m writing and directing it,” he said. “There will be some avenging that takes place during the film and that’s about all I can tell you. I think it’s well-known that Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) is joining us as Hawkeye, which is so exciting for me and the rest of the cast.”

SDCC: Machete Red Band Trailer
by ilango on Jul.24, 2010, under Film
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.

SDCC: Planet Hulk Trailer
by ilango on Jul.27, 2009, under Film
Based on Greg Pak’s comic-book storyline (Incredible Hulk issues #92 to #105), the movie begins with the Illuminati (a secret group of superheroes that includes Iron Man and Professor X) sentencing the Hulk to exile on a deserted planet because the big, green guy has become a danger to Earth. While in outer space, Hulk does what Hulk does best — gets angry — and causes his rocket to crash land on the vicious planet of Sakaar, where he is captured and eventually becomes a triumphant gladiator.
Could this lead up to World War Hulk?
SDCC: Iron Man & Wolverine Anime
by ilango on Jul.25, 2009, under Film
Iron Man looks dope! The animation kind of reminds me of what Tony Stark would look like in the Evangelion series. Wolverine on the other hand makes no sense, how can you transform a burly/hairy Canadian midget into an effeminate ninja. I guess they missed the memo on the hair, he’s Canadian so he needs hockey hair right? One can only wish they made this a full anime series, nerd sigh..
