Is New Green Lantern Movie Trailer Cause for Concern?
This is a few days late, but I thought I’d share the new Green Lantern Wondercon trailer that’s given us a considerable idea of how Martin Campbell’s slightly worrying blockbuster is shaping up.
I’ve had my doubts about this one (as have many), but there’s some really impressive visuals on display here, Mark Strong’s Sinestro looks spot on, and Campbell … read more

Justice League Movie Rumours Return
A recent interview with Warner Bros. executive Jeff Robinov in The Los Angeles Times has suggested new plans for a Justice League movie, no doubt inspired by the hype (and good will) surrounding Marvel’s upcoming Avengers.
Unlike this year’s continuity primers Captain America and Thor, however, it appears that the Justice League film will itself establish a DC … read more

First Image of Captain America’s Red Skull
Entertainment Weekly has posted the first image of Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull – actually, an image of Weaving sans hideous makeup debuted several months ago, but that’s not quite the same – and he looks every bit the part.

New X-Men First Class Posters Spotlight Xavier & Magneto
A couple of X-Men: First Class international one-sheets are currently doing the rounds, and while they don’t give anything new away, they’re pretty darn impressive nevertheless. 20th Century Fox evidently want to emphasise that this is a much a prequel as a reboot, though how faithful it will stay to the previous trilogy and the dire Wolverine: Origins remains to … read more

Dominic Pace Demands Role of Lex Luthor in New Superman Movie
It’s hardly new for the fanboy uni-mind to decide that, technically, it owns the comic franchises it so loves and therefore has the right to dictate how Hollywood produces all comic adaptations, and Zack Snyder’s recently announced Superman: Man of Steel is likely to attract more scrutiny than any other superhero movie in development.
