While everyone's having a moment over Warner Brothers' Batman/Superman announcement, let's take a moment to acknowledge little plastic superheroes too. The LEGO Movie had a panel at Comic-Con today too - and it has already cast its Justice League.
In case you missed it, Vin Diesel is a badass and this year, he'll be back as the most badass character that he's ever played in Riddick, which now has a new red band trailer that looks absolutely killer.
Now here's something to put into your pipe and try to smoke: it appears that Warner Brothers are not going follow Man Of Steel with Man Of Steel 2, as we initially thought. Instead they're going to go for broke and put Batman and Superman in the same movie.
Last week, he cancelled the apocalypse. This week, Idris Elba plans to liberate a nation. In the first full-length trailer for Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, the actor takes on a far more challenging role than defeating aliens. Now he embodies one of the great modern day icons of peace.
Are you excited about Machete Kills yet? No? What more does Robert Rodriguez have to do? OK, how about this: 30 seconds of Michelle Rodriguez kicking pageant beauty ass in an all-too-brief glimpse of the action from Machete Kills.
San Diego Comic-Con has begun and that means ... recaps! So many recaps! First up, the Ender's Game panel, which premiered an exclusive trailer that included a few new scenes and some additional glimpses of characters from the feature film adaptation of Orson Scott Card's novel.
It always saddens me when I hear that a film has bit the dust or, in this case, sunk with all hands. It appears that David Fincher's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea has gone to the depths of Davey Jones's locker, and other related nautical puns.
Uh...OK, see here's the thing. I'm not a big fan of those 'let's get the band back together for one more gig' kind of movies. The more recent ones like Wild Hogs, Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 have been underwhelming, to say the least. But you know what? None of those films featured bonafide cinema legends laughing it up together. So when I see a trailer for Last Vegas that boasts of stars Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, I go: awesome.
I don't usually wait for the next Ridley Scott film with bated breath, but I'll make an exception for this one. The Counselor looks fantastic. With the first proper U.S. trailer landing today, I'd be lying if I said that I'm unexcited. I'm more than excited - I'm absolutely ecstatic.
I'm beginning to think that there's more than one Guillermo del Toro. How else can he possibly be involved in all the projects that are attached to his name? Today, we can add another one to the list as del Toro plans to produce Midnight Delivery, with Kevin Costner in the lead.
