A New Awesome Holy Fucking Shit Trailer For "Skyfall"
An interesting thing about Bardems character is one of the things he says to Bond in this exact scene, when talking about "M". He says to Bond something like, "this is what she made us". Now could Bardems character, Raoul Silva, who is rumored to be an updated rebooted version of classic Bond villain, Blofeld, be an ex-MI6 agent or even worse..........an ex 00 like Alec Travilian aka 006 in "GoldenEye" played by Sean Bean? Only time will tell!
Three Possible Titles For "The Hobbit-Part 3"
Part 1 is called "An Unexpected Journey", part 2 is called "There And Back Again" and New Line have registered not one, not two, but a possible three titles for part 3.
1. The Hobbit: Riddles In The Dark
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
3. The Hobbit: The Battle Of Five Armies
Personally I like the third title choice, "The Battle Of Five Armies". I don't know why though. I guess it just sounds right for a "Lord Of the Rings/Hobbit" film really.
"Shining: The Beginning" On The Way?
In the book, written by legendary author Stephen King, there's a lot of Torrence's past look into. So this prequel could be looking at either his messed up childhood or even just to back to the time the caretaker, Mr Grady and his family set foot in the Overlook. I would love to see the film based around him and his family.
James Vanderbilt, Bradley Fischer and Laeta Kalogridis have all reportedly been brought in to write and produce the planned prequel, but nothing yet has been set in stone with confirmation wise.
Stephen King is also writing a sequel to the original, which will be set in the life of Danny Torrence (Jack's son) at the age of 40 and working in a Hospice helping the sick and dying. He uses his shining to talk to the patients who are near death and helps them die in peace. The book is titled "Dr Sleep". Whether or not Warner make this into a film too is yet unknown, but more focus is on this prequel first.
Marvel/Disney Planning Live-Action "Avengers" TV Series!
A close insider over at Deadline said this about what he heard about the planned project,
“I’ve
learned that Marvel’s TV division is in conversation with ABC and ABC
Studios about doing a drama series in the Avengers world. I hear that
the the connection to the Avengers franchise would be light as the
project is expected to be set in the universe and feature some of its
themes and feel but may not include any characters from Joss Whedon’s
blockbuster.”
ABC are still also developing a new live-action "HULK" show, which is still rumored to be set outside the MCU and also "AKA Jessica Jones" series. Again, it's unknown whether "AKA Jessica Jones" will be set in or outside the MCU.......still cool though!

New Bond Game Coming!
Seeing as this year is the 50th anniversary of favorite British spy James Bond, merchandise is being released left right and center. And one of the things that's getting released is a new game for the X-Box, PS3, etc. The new game is called "007 Legends" and is based around the best Bond moments, villains, girls, cars, action scenes, etc.
The Bond Clips From The Olympics & Sneak peak At New Trailer!
Obviously it wasn't the Queen, well the parachute part anyway, but it was still a funny and well put together clip. Sony were obviously taking advantage of promoting James Bond for the 50th anniversary and to the fact that the 23rd film "Skyfall", will be released in under 3 months from now.
And on the note of promoting "Skyfall", here's a teaser trailer to the new trailer that will be released on 007.com tomorrow afternoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEh6NMdAuB4&feature=player_embedded
"Wrong Turn 5" Is Coming This Year!
The fifth film has confirmed to be a sequel to last years prequel, "Bloody Beginnings", but still a prequel to the 2003 original. No trailer has been released for "Wrong Turn 5: Bloodbath", but a poster has.
Second "Avatar" Won't Be Out Till 2015!
"Paranormal Activity 4" Teaser Trailer & Banner Finally Released!
No one knows who's in the film or when it will be set. The second film was set months before the events of the first film and featured Katie's sister and her family. Then the third film featured the sisters when they were kids. I'm sure Katie will return some way or another!
"First Class" Sequel Will Be Called "X-Men: Days Of Future Past"
No news on wither Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine, but I'm sure he will seeing as he's just started filming the sequel/reboot to his own spin-off adventure. And also there's no news on wither some original "X-Men" will return too seeing as the stories plot is all about traveling back and forward through time.
UPDATE: Bryan Singer has confirmed this title for the "First Class" sequel!
The First Teaser Logo For "The Hangover-Part 3"
"The Hangover-Part 3" will see the Wolfgang returning to where it all began...........Las Vegas, for another wild adventure to end off the trilogy in a high note!

Peter Jackson Directing "The Hobbit" Part 3!
"Tropic Thunder" Star Has Joined "ROBOCOP" Reboot!
Nolans Goodbye Message To His "The Dark Knight" Franchise!
Alfred. Gordon. Lucius. Bruce . . . Wayne. Names that have come to
mean so much to me. Today, I’m three weeks from saying a final good-bye
to these characters and their world. It’s my son’s ninth birthday. He
was born as the Tumbler was being glued together in my garage from
random parts of model kits. Much time, many changes. A shift from sets
where some gunplay or a helicopter were extraordinary events to working
days where crowds of extras, building demolitions, or mayhem thousands
of feet in the air have become familiar.
People ask if we’d always planned a trilogy. This is like being asked whether you had planned on growing up, getting married, having kids. The answer is complicated. When David and I first started cracking open Bruce’s story, we flirted with what might come after, then backed away, not wanting to look too deep into the future. I didn’t want to know everything that Bruce couldn’t; I wanted to live it with him. I told David and Jonah to put everything they knew into each film as we made it. The entire cast and crew put all they had into the first film. Nothing held back. Nothing saved for next time. They built an entire city. Then Christian and Michael and Gary and Morgan and Liam and Cillian started living in it. Christian bit off a big chunk of Bruce Wayne’s life and made it utterly compelling. He took us into a pop icon’s mind and never let us notice for an instant the fanciful nature of Bruce’s methods.
I never thought we’d do a second—how many good sequels are there? Why roll those dice? But once I knew where it would take Bruce, and when I started to see glimpses of the antagonist, it became essential. We re-assembled the team and went back to Gotham. It had changed in three years. Bigger. More real. More modern. And a new force of chaos was coming to the fore. The ultimate scary clown, as brought to terrifying life by Heath. We’d held nothing back, but there were things we hadn’t been able to do the first time out—a Batsuit with a flexible neck, shooting on Imax. And things we’d chickened out on—destroying the Batmobile, burning up the villain’s blood money to show a complete disregard for conventional motivation. We took the supposed security of a sequel as license to throw caution to the wind and headed for the darkest corners of Gotham.
I never thought we’d do a third—are there any great second sequels? But I kept wondering about the end of Bruce’s journey, and once David and I discovered it, I had to see it for myself. We had come back to what we had barely dared whisper about in those first days in my garage. We had been making a trilogy. I called everyone back together for another tour of Gotham. Four years later, it was still there. It even seemed a little cleaner, a little more polished. Wayne Manor had been rebuilt. Familiar faces were back—a little older, a little wiser . . . but not all was as it seemed.
Gotham was rotting away at its foundations. A new evil bubbling up from beneath. Bruce had thought Batman was not needed anymore, but Bruce was wrong, just as I had been wrong. The Batman had to come back. I suppose he always will.
Michael, Morgan, Gary, Cillian, Liam, Heath, Christian . . . Bale. Names that have come to mean so much to me. My time in Gotham, looking after one of the greatest and most enduring figures in pop culture, has been the most challenging and rewarding experience a filmmaker could hope for. I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he’ll miss me, but he’s never been particularly sentimental.

"Wolfman" Reboot Get's Official Title & DVD Release With Trailer Plus Images!
I for one was quite happy with the Benicio Del Toro remake/reboot. It was a true horror gore fest. Of course it was more extreme than the 40's classic, but it was a brilliant new version of the Universal classic. This is nothing like any of "The Wolfman" films, past or present. It's like "The Wolfman" is "Alien" and this is "Aliens", a sequel, but more action-packed than horror..........kind of like the "Underworld" franchise. It's try too hard to be a stand-alone werewolf "Underworld" based film. And the main guys trying to be the Van Helsing of the film. Not happening people.
Overall, it looks ok, but not great. It's more of a TV movie, like something on SyFy, shite but you want to watch it just so you can say that you've seen it now. Not a good sign though! I just hope Universal go back to the drawing board and make a true werewolf classic again like the old days or the 2010 remake/reboot.
