‘Nightcrawler’ Red Band Trailer: Gyllenhaal’s American Psychotics
Coming up on Friday is the release of Nightcrawler, another fucking tour de force for Jake Gyllenhaal. If you’ve been sleeping on him, Jakey has been fucking crushing it lately. And this latest release is Gyllenhaal channelling a gloriously unhinged enterprising would-be journalist in the world of LA crime reporting. A dark comedy arriving on The Demon’s Night.
Sounds good.
BORING: Benedict Cumberbatch is Marvel’s Doctor Strange
I wish I could tell you how many unfucks I give about this doubleplusungood casting. He’ll probably be adequate, but I’m sick of his face. And out of all the purported contenders he’s the least interesting choice. THE MYSTIC GAME IS AFOOT, TWATSON #yawn.
Go figure: WB looking for female director for ‘Wonder Woman’ flick
Go figure. Go nuts! Go bananas! Go whatever you want. Just celebrate this neat bit of news. It almost makes too much sense: a female director could be helming the female-led Wonder Woman movie.
Adam McKay probably directing a Marvel movie
Adam McKay directing a Marvel movie? Makes sense. The Leviathan is enormous. Its consumptive needs are never-ending, all-expanding. Slowly but surely all talent of even marginal measure will be subsumed into its corpus. The exceptions shall prove the rule. This Leviathan is the Never Ending Comic Book Movie Monster.
Confirmed: Christian Bale to play Steve Jobs in Sorkin’s Biopic
YEAH SO I don’t think of Christian Bale when I think of people who are perfect to play Steve Jobs. No worry. The motherfucker knows a thing or two about reinventing himself for a role.
Steve Carell making movie with Charke Kaufman, writer of ‘Eternal Sunshine’
I have very little fucks to give about Steve Carell these days. Left The Office, which made his career. I’m irrationally bitter about that. (Don’t say Daily Show.) Made some Typical Indie Movies, looks actually fantastic in Foxcatcher. But could really, really get me excited for a work of his would be some sort of dream pairing. Like this one.
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Trailer: That’s A Hulkbuster In My Pants
Frankly, FRANKLY, I see no goddamn reason for OL to exist if I cannot take a minute out of the Maelstrom of the Now to post the leaked Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer. THE PLATONIC IDEAL OF THIS SPACE-SHIP IS TO BE EXCITED OVER JAMS LIKE THIS.
Warner Bros. announces Justice League, Wonder Woman, Flash movies & more
Warner Bros. revealed their slate of movies today, officially announcing like three-thousand DC flicks. Justice League Part 1: Wake Me Up When Snyder Ends, its sequel, Flash-Movie Guy (Not TV Guy Tho), Khal Drogo Goes Swimming and more.
Ewan McGregor being considered for ‘Dr. Strange’
Looks like Ewan McGregor could be fucking busy, fucking soon! Apparently the Bearded Force Babe may not just be collecting checks from the House of Mouse for an Obi-Wan trilogy. The son of a bitch is also being looked at for the role of Dr. Strange. Along with, you know, 75% of White Hollywood.
Rumor: Russo Brothers to direct ‘Avengers 3’ and ‘Avengers 4’
Last night the RDJ+CP3=MCU’sCW news broke. And while I dug it, I agreed with most who were all “Wait, Civil War, already?” But what I was hoping (OH HOPES OF HOPE) was that Cap 3 was merely the jumping-off point for Cinematic Civil War. The kick-off, the impetus, the boiling point. And if the rumors of the Russo Brothers maybe/sorta directing the next two Avengers movies are true, it would help perpetuate my hope. Sanctify it. In blood and comic book flesh and the mewling whimper of a decaying star’s doomed infancy.
