Here’s some disappointing news for fans of the immensely popular TV show, House as Fox have decided to end the show after the eighth season when it ends in May. According to Deadline who broke the story (and have a full report), Fox will give it’s creator David Shore the chance to end the show [...]
Warner Bros. Pictures have released the debut poster and trailer for Jack the Giant Killer, a modern take on the fantasy-adventure fairy tale of the same name. Directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men), Jack the Giant Killer stars Nicholas Hoult (A Single Man), Eleanor Tomlinson (The Village), Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones), Ian McShane (Death Race), Bill Nighy [...]
I enjoyed Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns but can see why it received a thorough critical kicking on its release, and now there’s a little more of Singer’s Supes to enjoy/hate. For all it did right, and I hold to the opinion that it did quite a lot of things right, it disappointed a lot of [...]
Watching the Superman anthology on Blu-ray last week gave me a new appreciation for Marlon Brando’s stunt casting in the Richard Donner films. He was naturally very good as Jor-El, the Kryptionian scientist who cassandra’d his way into the mythology of Superman by predicting the imminent destruction of his home planet, and placing his gravitas [...]
There are few characters as iconic and resistant to cultural change than Shuster and Siegel’s Man of Steel. At once instantly redolent of the 1930s comic book boom, the power and appeal of Superman is seemingly timeless and in this new Blu-ray Anthology you get to see the latest cinematic incarnations of arguably DC Comic’s [...]
Having constructed a thorough and persuasive defence of the Master of Mayhem himself, Michael Bay, I now shift my attention to a topic at once broader and more problematic. Can the trend for inferior and poor comic book threequels be excused, forgiven, explained, or even challenged as a myth? Read on… I recognise that I am [...]
Bryan Singer, who is returning to the X-fold after bailing on X-Men: Last Stand during production, has hinted that should this year’s franchise reboot prove successful, we could be seeing the return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for Second Class. “I think there would definitely be room. I think it would be a very exciting thing. [...]
The 1962 Nathan Juran version of Jack the Giant Killer gave me nightmares when I was a kid. A specific scene involving the unmasking of a witch by placing her in front of a mirror stuck with me and I’m hoping that Bryan Singer will be kinder to sensitive children when his re-telling of the [...]
With Hollywood’s recent determination to reduce their turn-around by having whole franchises in various stages of production before the first film is even released, it is surely only a matter of time before X-Men: Second Class is prepped and ready to go. When 20th Century Fox gets around to producing their premature sequel, it appears [...]
There’s no doubt that the best marketing strategy for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is to churn out these production stills and tear down the Photoshopped monstrosities that make up the poster campaign. This new picture from the film comes from the film’s Facebook page and shows off Lucas Till as Havok who, for those [...]
Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) has been added to the cast of twisted fairytale retelling Jack the Giant Killer. McGregor will star opposite Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class), Stanley Tucci (Burlesque), Bill Nighy (Notes on a Scandal) and John Kassir (Race to Witch Mountain), and is said to be up for the role as the leader of the King’s guard. [...]
Twentieth Century Fox have just sent us the new international trailer for the new movie, X-Men: First Class which has been given the release date 2nd June in the UK. The actual trailer (which I’ve placed below) is identical to the one that we put up last week except with a few different text prompts [...]
Following on the heels of his soon to be co-stars Bill Nighy and Stanley Tucci, things are getting very interesting our own Nicholas Hoult who is working out a deal to sign in Bryan Singer’s Jack The Giant Killer. This confirms the story we ran in December last year putting Hoult fellow Brit Aaron Johnson [...]
Two distinguished names from the supporting actor world are on board for Bryan Singer’s long-awaited rejig of the Jack and the Beanstalk legend, Jack the Giant Killer. The Wrap are reporting that Stanley Tucci and our very own Bill Nighy will join the cast, which is still waiting on the announcement of a lead, although [...]
Bryan Singer’s re-working of Jack and the Beanstalk (Jack the Giant Killer) is finally beginning to take shape and now two young British up-and-coming stars are amongst the number of actors vying for the lead role. The Hollywood Reporter have mentioned both Aaron Johnson (Kickass) and Nicholas Hoult (About A Boy, TV’s Skins) as a [...]
After chasing wild geese with X-Men: First Class, nobody is going to be jumping to conclusions regarding Aaron Johnson’s involvement in Jack The Giant Killer. With director Bryan Singer seeing the greenlight, however, it shouldn’t be long before we’re finally talking in definitives. Touted as the role that today’s crop of young actors are circling, [...]
It’s evident Natalie Portman is hot property in Hollywood following the rave reviews for her performance in Darren Aronosfky’s psychological ballet drama Black Swan, and has lined up several projects in the aftermath. Portman may well add another film to that growing list in the form of the hotly-anticipated Superman reboot, nonetheless. Moviehole reported yesterday [...]
After drawing out the casting process to the speed of your average tectonic plate, Bryan Singer has finally opened up about X-Men: First Class. After Alice Eve was mistakenly touted as Emma Frost and Aaron Johnson was incorrectly linked to the role of Scott Summers, coherent confirmation was required from someone in the know. In [...]
Aaron Johnson – whose screen credits include one-time Perfect Snogger, a young John Lennon and wannabe superhero Kick-Ass – looked set to return to cinemas as Cyclops in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. That is, until Tarquin Pack debunked the rumour in an interview with Movieweb. When quizzed about Johnson’s involvement, Pack replied: “Don’t believe [...]
The world of Superman has been busy of late and the news of Christopher Nolan bringing David Goyer to the table to write the next film, which he is shepherding to the screen, is a good sign of things to come. We recently ran an article positing if we would see a Mark Millar scripted [...]
