‘Captain America: Civil War’ concept art reveals Captain America and Iron Man’s teams
Maybe! It’s “purported” concept art. But I’m buying it for two reasons. First, it’s as craptacular looking as all Marvel concept art. Second, it confirms the reports of who was on what side from a bit back. Thoughts?
Rumor: ‘Man of Steel 2’ is apparently on “permanent hold”
Never mind George Miller directing Man of Steel 2. If this rumor holds, the director of that film is the least of its concerns.
‘War of the Planet of the Apes’ casts Gabriel Chavarria as one of its leads
Serious question: who is Gabriel Chavarria? Even more serious question: do you realize how fucking profitable the Apes franchise is? I was talking with Eddie about this a couple of weeks ago. These movies have been fucking colossal amounts of money. And yet — do any of us really give a second thought to these films? Maybe I’m wrong, but I usually equate insane amounts of money made with at least some sort of lasting resonance. I’m an idealist, aren’t I? Anyways, yeah. Gabriel Chavarria. Lead in the next Apes flick.
Léa Seydoux cast in ‘Gambit’ as the female lead
Léa Seydoux is going to be hanging out in the Gambit movie. Doing female lead things.
Vin Diesel says ‘xXx’ sequel filming in December. Most gnarly, bruh
Vin Diesel’s xXx is (sadly) the only movie I can think of where a guy outruns an avalanche by doing sweet stuff on a snowboard. It is an impressive addition to our collection of pop culture artifacts, and I can only imagine a sequel to a movie that brought us such a scene will also deliver.
Stealth game ‘Republique’ sneaking onto PlayStation 4 next year
GET IT?! SNEAKING? Haha! Fuck me! Anyways — I fucked with Republique a little bit back when it dropped on iOS, and it’s a pretty enjoyable game. Only downside? I’m an antiquated troglodyte who can’t get into games on an iPad or tablet or mobile device or whatever. So I’m definitely sweating this.
Rumor: George Miller (‘Mad Max’) could be directing ‘Man of Steel 2’
Back in the day, George Miller was supposed to direct Justice League. He didn’t, and the world was worse for it. Zack Snyder *did* direct Man of Steel, and the world was worse for it. The result was a DCU I don’t really give a fuck about. A DCU whose reputation (in my eyes) could be recuperated by George Miller helming Man of Steel 2. I mean — can you fucking imagine? OH WHAT A DAY. (There are other reports that cast doubts on this rumor — but let’s just imagine it happening. I mean fuck, somewhat in the Multiverse it’s hapepning. Let us go there, if not here.)
Tyler Bates returning to score ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
Tyler Bates did the music for Guardians of the Galaxy. You know, the music that wasn’t a part of that insanely catchy mix-tape. But all the same, he provided some good tunage in the flick. How memorable were his riffs? I mean, they weren’t up there with Redbone’s participation. But what is?
‘Star Trek Beyond’ casts Lydia Wilson
I’m not familiar with Lydia Wilson. But Star Trek Beyond has cast her, which means she’s obviously awesome and I anticipate enjoying her performance in the film. You know, the film that was co-written (I think?) by Simon Pegg and is being directed by the great visionary of our time, Justin Lin (this is a statement I don’t even remote believe anymore, but I’m just going to double down. Our culture has taught me that a #hottake is more important than actually believing in what you’re saying.)
