COMIC-CON: "Avengers 2" Get's Official Title!

Whilst at COMIC-CON, "Avengers" director and GEEK genius Joss Whedon confirmed that his 2015 "Avengers" sequel will be called "Avengers: Age Of Ultron". It's called this because classic comic book villain Ultron will be the films lead villain before it's assumed Thanos will take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the third film.
On the note of Thanos, he's been confirmed to show up in next years "Guardians Of The Galaxy". It's not been confirmed if he's one of the lead villains or if he's just showing up to make himself known again.

COMIC-CON: "Justice League" Film Confirmed For A 2017 Release Date!

So while Zach Snyder was confirming a Batman/Superman film in 2015, Warner confirmed a Flash film too and now they've also fully confirmed that the "Justice League" WILL FINALLY BE A FILM IN 2017!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen.......a "Justice League" film IS coming out finally finally finally, but not in 2015 though. I think 2017 is a good time to release it. Gives Warner a lot of time to make it right. Plus, we've got Batman, Superman and The Flash to keep us going for a while.
It's assumed that Henry Cavill, the new guy playing Batman, the guy who's going to play The Flash are all returning for the "Justice League". It's also assumed that Ryan Reynold's will be returning too but nothing has been totally confirmed there yet.

COMIC-CON: Warner Announce "Flash" Film Coming Out In 2016!

So after years of speculation, Warner have finally confirmed that a "Flash" film is in the works and is set for a 2016 release date.
There's no word on who's making the new highly-anticipated film and neither has any cast members been confirmed too. Filming is expected to begin sometime next year alongside filming for the upcoming Batman/Superman film.
I honestly can't wait to see The Flash on the big screen. He's one of those superheroes who needs to finally get his own movie. I want to see Bradley Cooper or Chris Pine play The Flash, but as previously rumoured, Warner are possibly looking at "Pacific Rim" actor Charlie Hunnam to play the fast-paced superhero.

COMIC-CON: "World's Finest" Film Coming Our Way In 2015 With Zach Snyder Helming The Project!

I can't believe this is happening.........finally we're getting a Batman/Superman film and it's coming out in 2015! Henry Cavill will be returning as the Man Of Steel himself. Amy Adams and the rest of the cast of this years "Man Of Steel" are all set to return too. Zach Snyder is helming the "Man Of Steel" sequel featuring the Dark Knight, who will be played by a new actor this time around. No casting announcements have been made on that role yet or any other. 

Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" plot will be used to bring this "World's Finest" film together. Snyder is directing, Chris Nolan and his wife Emma are exec producers and David S Goyer is writing the script. 

"Man Of Steel" actor Henry Lennox came out on stage in one of the halls in Comic-Con and quoted this line from "TDKR" and this is what got the fans going that something cool was about to happen and then before you knew it, a Batman/Superman logo appeared on the screen. 

"I want you to remember Clark in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you." 

I think the new logo is awesome! Loving the new Batman logo. It's very vintage and works out well in my opinion. I'm just looking forward to seeing who will be playing the Caped Crusader and also the newly rebooted costume. 

This film is going to be just the best DC Comics film ever!!! Marvel and Joss Whedon have to seriously make sure that the next "Avengers" sequel is going up to scratch because they can't afford to loose out in fans. I've said it before and I'll say it again..........................2015 is going to be the greatest year in film ever!!!! 

X-Men! X-Men! X-Men News All Around!!!

So I've gathered together ALL news on Fox's newly planned "X-Men" universe. A new universe is being planned, villains are rumoured, mutants getting their chance on screen, new films, plans with old characters in new films.........EVERYTHING!!!! 

First, let's start with the goings on with "Days Of Future Past" shall we. Popular "X-Men" villain Apocalypse is being rumoured to appear in a future "X-Men" film or spin-off because Fox have plans to expand the universe and they've planned new spin-offs and sequels. He's reportedly appearing in "DOFP" first to give fans a tease that he is out and about and will take on the "X-Men" at some point in the next few years. Apocalypse is being described as the Thanos of the "X-Men" universe. 
Here's what an insider over at Fox had to say on the fan favourite villain, 

"He's definitely a big part of Fox's whole plan for a big X-Men universe with spin-off movies. The Avengers really is the template here. Will he show up in Days Of Future Past? I won't say too much about that. You'll just have to wait and see."

Over at COMIC-CON, fans have been given a first look at Trask Industries and the "DOFP" Sentinels. The new Sentinels don't look much like the ones from the comics or even the one that was teased back in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand". They have a new black sleek futuristic look about them.......basically they look awesome!!! Here are some images below of them from this years COMIC-CON.

And now onto what's next after "DOFP". "The Wolverine" and "DOFP" producer Hutch Parker has mentioned that, even though there are no plans yet, he sees both "First Class" cast and the original cast go on to their own films again. This means that a potential "X-Men 4" is very possible and a proper "X-Men: First Class 2" is very possible also. He doesn't mention if the two casts will meet again, but they might if this joined sequel is good enough. This is good news for fans of both casts. I previously reported that Fox only wanted to go ahead with a direct sequel to "X-Men: The Last Stand" rather than "First Class 2", but this sheds some possible light on that matter. 
Fox still have plans to go ahead with multiple "X-Men" projects anyway wither this film is good or not. Here's the link to his interview at the UK premier to "The Wolverine" on YouTube: http://youtu.be/6Nt4L8CV68Q
"X-Force" creator, Rob Liefeld, has confirmed that Fox are developing an "X-Force" will and have been since March of this year. That team is made up of Cable, Deadpool, Wolverine, Colossus, X-23, etc.

There's actually loads of them to pick from for the planned film that's in works with "KICK-ASS 2" director Jeff Wadlow. He's obviously making a good impression on himself with that sequel. I wouldn't mind a big screen adaption of that comic. Never read it, but it looks interesting enough to be made into a movie. Both Cable and Deadpool have been confirmed to be part of the team in the new film.

It's not been confirmed if Ryan Reynolds will be playing Deadpool though. He's still talking about the on, off, on again standalone "Deadpool" film. He might be playing him, he might not. Fans will just have to wait and see.
And now onto the potential "Magneto" standalone anthology/origins film starring Michael Fassbender and possibly Ian McKellen, depending on how good he is returning as old Magneto in "DOFP". Rob Liefeld also confirmed that the project is still active over at Fox via his Twitter account.

I would love to see an origins film, especially with Fassbender back as Magneto. It would be awesome to see him in a full length film on his own.
And that's it on all "X-Men" news from COMIC-CON for now..........stay tuned for more over this weekend.

COMIC-CON: The First Trailer For "The Walking Dead - Series 4" Is Here!

So the fourth series of hit US zombie show "The Walking Dead" returns to the small screen later this year and fans once again at this years awesome COMIC-CON were teased with a "edge of their seats" trailer. Shit looks like it's going to hit the fan. Everything looks like it's going on this year. Everyone truly ain't safe this time around. Who will live? Who will die? There's only one way to find out, watch "The Walking Dead - Series 4" this October, but for now, here's the link to the trailer on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Dxg27QsaIEY

COMIC-CON: Electrifying First Footage From "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"

Finally fans get a teaser look at next years big Spider-Man sequel, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". We now have a proper look at Jamie Foxx's Electro on screen and he looks and sounds brilliant. He doesn't much in the footage, but he still looks awesome though. His voice is very sinister also.
I can't wait to see more from him. I think he could actually do a pretty amazing job as Electro and out do the previous films villain, The Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans.
Here's the link to the video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/dEHcD9XFhhA

COMIC-CON: "KICK-ASS 2" Red Band Trailer And Poster!

A new extremely violent red band trailer for "KICK-ASS 2" has been released and it looks awesome!!! There's quite a few scenes from older trailers but most of them are extended in this one because this is an extended 4 and a half minutes trailer from this years COMIC-CON.
I feel as though this sequel won't be as laugh out loud as the first film. I feel as though it's going to be extremely darker in a way. There are still funny moments, but not as much. Maybe this is the right way to go when you look at the films plot.
Here's the link to the trailer: http://youtu.be/nje6dcArZrI

A Whole Load Of Posters For "300: Rise Of An Empire"

COMIC-CON: Character Head Shots From "X-Men: Days Of Future Past"

So here's our first looks at Old Charles Xavier, Old Magneto, Colossus and Bishop. I am loving the new costumes for the oldies. It's actually quite good to see Stewart and McKellen back in the "X-Men" world again, but in a wee way, I still don't want to see them back because I feel as though they may take over the new franchise. 

I've heard that Fox are most likely going to go ahead with an "X-Men 4" after this sequel rather than an "X-Men: First Class 2"........BAD TIMES!!! Why can't Fox just go ahead with both? I guess we'll see what happens after this sequel, when it comes out next year. 

Jeff Daniels Confirms "Dumb & Dumber 2" Start Date!

While on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", original "Dumb & Dumber" actor Jeff Daniels confirmed that the long-awaited sequel is definitely back on and filming begins this September. Here's what he said, 

"I'll believe it's happening when I'm there, staring at Jim Carrey, but it looks like we're starting in September. Everybody is back, Jim in particular. It's going to be so great to be with Jim Carrey again. He's one of the best we've got. It will be the 20th Anniversary of the first one next year. I've seen the script. It's hysterical. We're middle-aged, we're not pretending we aren't. We're middle-aged and we're still that stupid."

So this is good news to hear that it's back on and both Daniels and Jim Carrey are back for good. I'm actually looking forward to this sequel, even though Carrey and Daniels are well past their sell-buy dates, but still, this should be good to see where Harry and Lloyd are now in their 50's. 

COMIC-CON: New "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" Art Work!

COMIC-CON: New Official Images From "ROBOCOP" 2014 Reboot Plus Official Logo!

COMIC-CON: New "Batman" And "Justice League" Film Coming In 2015?

Again, rumours are surfacing on Warners plans for a "Justice League" film. A source says that the project has been in the works since the post-production and the release of this years Superman reboot "Man Of Steel". The source says that the studio plan to release the film sometime in 2015 alongside a newly planned Batman reboot, which is awesomely rumoured to be based around the cartoon tv show "Batman Beyond". Finally fans could see a big screen adaption of the much loved cartoon tv show.

I personally would love to see a "Justice League" film being made but I can't see it being released as soon as 2015. I think it would be rushed a bit so maybe release it in 2016 at least. In a way, I'd rather see another "Man Of Steel" film first before a full on "Justice League" film. Also, how will a "Batman Beyond" film work alongside a "Justice League" film? Is there going to be two different versions of Batman on the big screen? Like a present Batman for the "Justice League" film and a future one for the "Batman Beyond" film? Who knows........

New Official Images From "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"

So here we have our first official look at Jamie Foxx's Electro in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and WOW, he is looking awesome. At first I thought he'd not be that good but when you see him here, officially, he looks great and right for the character. Hopefully more images and official posters will follow soon enough.

"STAR TREK 3" Filming Next Year With Abrams Back On Board?

Hey guys and gals, sorry but I've been away on holiday with my girlfriend hence why no news has been reported from the past week and a bit. Missed like loads of news, especially from ComicCon, but I'm going to report it all bit by bit so here we go with the first piece of news on "Star Trek 3" from Spock himself Zachary Quinto. 
While in an interview with Buzzhub, Quinto let slip that the highly-anticipated sequel to this years MEGA successful "Star Trek Into Darkness", "should be filming, I suppose, next year. That's the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet." 
He added that Paramount are planning to make this sequel a lot quicker this time round than the last one. He mentioned that "Star Trek" director JJ Abrams is also planning to direct the third film in the rebooted franchise. If this is true then either "Trek 3" will possibly not be filming next year and most likely sometime in 2015 or Disney are allowing Abrams to hold on "Star Wars - Episode VII", but that seems extremely unlikely for them to do so. 

"BOND 24" Coming Out In 2015 With Sam Mendes Back In The Directors Chair!

It's just been confirmed that Sam Mendes WILL return to the world of James Bond and direct "BOND 24". The next James Bond film will be released on October 23rd 2015 with Daniel Craig returning for sure as the lead role of 007. Here's what Mendes said about returning to direct the next instalment in the long running movie franchise, 

"I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honour all my theatre commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24. I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time."

I am just like "HOLY SHIT" right now because this is awesome news for fans. 2015 will be the year for big franchises on the big screen. From "Terminator" to "Star Wars" and "Avengers" to now "James Bond 24"........just aw!!!

UPDATE: The next James Bond film is rumoured to be under the working title of "Devil May Care". This title is based on the 2008 book by author Sebastian Faulks. It's plot is a sequel to Ian Fleming's classic "The Man With The Golden Gun". I assume that the film adaption WILL NOT be based on the book in full as in be a sequel to "TMWTGG", but more likely to take the title and the villain, the Bond girl, settings, etc................but no actual details on it's being a direct sequel. 

Trailer & First Images Released For "Curse Of Chucky"

So Chucky the killer doll is back and meaner and more sadistic than ever!!!! Yes, the latest instalment in the long running "Child's Play" franchise is going back to the way the original first two films were like......horrific and scary. You can either look at this instalment as a reboot to the whole franchise or as a direct sequel to either the first, you choose.
The trailer itself is pretty good. The new film actually looks quite interesting and an all out gore and scare fest in my opinion. Chucky creator Don Mancini has taken out all the slapstick comedy and spoofy that appeared in the later films and went back to the hardcore horror from the first film.
I think it could kickstart the old franchise up again with the new generation of horror fans. Let's just hope they don't do a camcorder sequel somewhere down the line.
Here's the link to the YouTube trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y16TEl6Ek1M

First Teaser Poster For "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" Has Arrived!

Is Doctor Strange Taking Over From Iron Man As Lead In Further "Avengers" Sequels?

After it was confirmed that Robert Downey Jr was returning to the role of Tony Stark aka Iron Man in "Avengers 2" and "Avnegers 3", an insider close to the MCU has stated that Marvel are getting Doctor Steven Strange set up to be, well basically "being groomed to be the next Iron Man". 
Seeing as Robert Downey Jr really can't go on forever, looks like Marvel are already possibly making BIG plans to not recast him, but just move on without the character and have Doctor Strange lead the Avengers, which again is rumoured to feature the next gen of them, which makes total sense in my eyes. 
After this news, it's assumed that Strange WILL be making an appearance in "Avengers 3" to lead him into his own movie or to set up for "Avengers 4" and the next gen of phases. 

Which Doctor Is John Hurt Playing? Has His Role Been Revealed?

Right, for those who watched the series finale of "Doctor Who" back a few months ago would've got a OMG surprise at the end of it....................Introducing John Hurt As The Doctor!!! Right, so John Hurt is playing The Doctor, but which one?
A few days ago "Doctor Who" costume designer Howard Burden described Hurt's Doctor as the "dark doctor" and that his Doctor is set between Paul McGann's Doctor (1996) and Christopher Eccleston's Doctor (2005). So this COULD mean that Matt Smith's Doctor is indeed the 12th Doctor and not the 11th one. Or maybe John Hurt's Doctor has just been written out of time and space and he's been deleted from the regenerations so that Matt Smith IS the 11th Doctor, so he's kind of like got a life back for deleting him or something. Whatever because anything we guess will just be flung back into our faces when the show returns for it's "50th Anniversary Special" in November anyway.

William Fichtner Is Playing The New Shredder In The "TMNT" Reboot!

"Drive Angry" star William Fichtner has confirmed that he'll be playing the newly revamped version of The Shredder in the Michael "BIG explosions, no story" Bay produced "TMNT" reboot. He confirmed this news while in an interview, 

"I play Shredder. It is cool. It's one of those things that came along where I thought, 'Really? Let me think about this for a minute.' [Laughs] Then I was like, 'Yeah, OK, this sounds like a journey.' I'm very glad that it worked out, I'm really glad that I'm doing it."

I don't know if he'll be a good Shredder or not. I think he's a good actor but playing such an iconic villain like this one......I'm really not sure to be perfectly honest.

"Independence Day" Sequels Going Ahead Without Will Smith! Two Other Cast Members Returning!

Director Roland Emmerich has confirmed that his "Independence Day" sequels are going ahead but without lead man Will Smith. He stated that he's just too dear to bring him back now. Two cast members are returning though, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pulman are expected to reprise their roles and David Levison and President Whitmore.
I'm sorry but without Will Smith or any BIG actors attached.........THESE SEQUELS WILL SUCK!!!! You need Will Smith back or another BIG actor to take over. Pullman and Goldblum are just boring old actors now. They're just coming back because they are desperate for money.
