With all the hype surrounding this summer's superhero blockbusters, it's important not to forget about the sci-fi event of the year. I'm of course talking about Neill Blomkamp's District 9 follow-up, Elysium. Today everyone gets a little reminder of how awesome this movie is going to be with the first TV spot hitting the web.
For all that is known about Star Wars: Episode VII, there's hardly been a trace of any information about the plot. Various sources have been able to scrape together some rumored details, but most of those reports have worse holes than the Death Star's exhaust shaft. With the historically secretive J.J. Abrams at the helm, it doesn't seem likely that any concrete information about the story is going to be announced anytime soon.
Along with the news tonight about Zack Snyder and David Goyer returning for a Man Of Steel sequel, there are also now reports that Goyer is penning the script for the most anticipated DC film of all time, Justice League.
Man Of Steel still hasn't hit theaters for its wide release, that won't happen until Friday, but Warner Bros. is showing their confidence in the film by letting it be known that not only will a sequel to Zack Snyder's Superman flick happen, but it'll be headed our way faster than a speeding bullet.
The latest adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is headed to the big screen on October 17, 2014. The film has Daniel Radcliffe committed to star as the hunch-backed assistant Igor, but so far no other cast members have been named, and not a ton of information about the plot is known.
There has been some fear among fans that Marc Webb is overloading The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with villains. There's Electro and Rhino for sure, plus Norman Osborn who at any point may morph into his Green Goblin alter-ego. Then there's Colm Feore's mystery character, who still hadn't been named... until today.
A few days ago we posted a raunchy red band trailer for the upcoming comedy The To Do List. That very funny trailer showed Aubrey Plaza seeking to rid herself of sexual inexperience before heading off to college. Today, we have the first poster for the film which has the bold and witty slogan: She's going from straight A's to getting her first F.
At the Produced By conference on the Fox lot yesterday, J.J. Abrams was hesitant to discuss anything related to the plot of his upcoming trip to a galaxy far, far away, but he did, however, reveal that Star Wars: Episode VII is going to begin production in early 2014.
When the news first broke about Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, it seemed every actor imaginable was throwing their hat into the ring for a part in the new Star Wars films. It doesn't seem that trend will ever come to a halt until everyone has voiced their desire as today, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe said he wouldn't shy away from joining another franchise, and taking on a role in a galaxy far, far away is something he'd be extremely excited about.
George Clooney has always been regarded as an enjoyable actor to watch work, but it wasn't until 2011's The Ides Of March that people realized he was more than just an actor who wanted to try his hand at directing, he's a phenomenal writer and director who has the ability to deliver an excellent film. So naturally, the hype surrounding his next project, The Monuments Men, is pretty high.
