Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’ trailer running before ‘Sin City’
Wait — what? Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight is getting a trailer that will run before the new Sin City: Grime Grime Noir Time movie. This is particularly cool because, uh, the film hasn’t even begun filming yet. So like. What’s it going to be?
WB got writers working on *two* competing ‘Aquaman’ scripts
How is this for faith in your writers? Warner Bruhs got themselves two writers working on two different competing Aquaman scripts. Just keep throwing the fucking spaghetti at the wall, guys. Some of it is bound to stick. I mean…right?
‘Captain America 3’ writer wants MODOK in a flick. Doesn’t expect it to happen.
Is this news? Or nah? Probably not news. But it’s still fun to think about the potential odd-as-fuck-villains that Marvel may be able to get away with in future movies. Now that Guardians of the Galaxy has demonstrated that our Collective Pop Culture Psyche has been widened to the point of oddity. I mean — give us MODOK. We can handle it.
Marvel’s ‘Inhumans’ movie further along than previously thought
Inhumans is coming! Inhumans is coming! Marvel’s done it right, man. Slowly building up the fantastical elements of their cinematic universe. From a guy in a robot suit to a fucking talking raccoon, all of it was laid down progressively. Now, with the Tree and Homicidal Raccoon firmly entrenched in many people’s hearts (hi!) it makes sense that Marvel is going to push the cosmic even further. Why the fuck not? They’ve seeded the ground well enough.
Del Toro: ‘Justice League Dark’ remains a thing, remains in development
Lest you forget, Del Toro has been tasked with bringing Justice League Dark to the silver screen. It’s easy to forget about it though, since there’s been no goddamn details about the flick. However the Guy Behind Pacific Rim recently opened up in an interview, and threw some chicken feed at us inquisitive fan-folk. Let us nibble slowly on these morsels, for we know not how long they must last.
Michael Fassbender still totally pumped for ‘Assassin’s Creed’ movie
Until I read this report, I had completely forgotten that Michael Fassbender was involved with an Assassin’s Creed movie. But indeed, he is! And he seems pretty stoked. Wouldn’t it be lovely if this flick was good? I mean — it seems like such an executable concept. But you know. Hollywood. Video games.
Warner Bros. reveals dates for nine DC Comics movies. Aiight.
With Marvel throughly dominating the movie game, it seems like Warner Bros. and DC want to remind everyone they’re deathly committed to churning out their own comic book movies. V. SERIOUS, V. GRAY movies starring V. SAD and V. BROODING CHARACTERS (#TrollAllDay #TrollAllNight). This reminder has taken the shape of nine revealed release dates from the company, with Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer confirmed to write and direct all of them (#TrollingIntensifies).
Though not yet confirmed, it’s also been reported that WB is in talks with Crayola’s Gray, Black, and Sad crayons, and the concept of Monochrome to sponsor their bill of flicks. Here’s hoping!
‘Batman v. Superman’ moves release date, blinks in ‘Captain America’ stare down
It was only a matter of time before either Captain America 3 or Batman v. Superman changed their release date. The two movies had been locked in a stare down, both laying claim to the same release date in May of 2016. The one who flinched? Batman v Superman: Frowny Time – Justice People. Which I suppose isn’t surprising, given that Marvel’s Cinematic Juggernaut continues to smash expectations and consume our pop culture.
Schwarzenegger announces ‘Terminator 5’ is officially titled ‘Terminator Genisys’ lol okay
Movie titles don’t fucking matter if the movie is good. That’s an empirical fact. Stated by Einstein. Verified by Oppenheimer. But man, still. Termintor Genisys? Amazing.
Details after the jump.
Tony Jaa joins ‘Kickboxer’ remake. Could this be deec?
I haven’t been paying much attention to the Kickboxer remake. But perhaps I am not alone, and the gurus behind it know we don’t really give a fuck. Which is why they’ve decided to go ahead and cast Tony Jaa. You know, to get us me interested. Because the Universe revolves around us me.
