Just two days ago, Legendary Pictures officially went into principal photography with a new version of Godzilla, directed by Gareth Edwards. I know, it’s a little groan inducing after the 1998 American version that horribly bombed. The bright side is that the 98 version found itself in Godzilla: Final Wars, being utterly decimated by Toho’s version that we’re all familiar with.
The dashing Hugh Jackman has a healthy obsession for reprising his role as Wolverine. X-Men: Days of Future Past is currently in production, and his current standalone film, The Wolverine, had more stills come out to gear up for its release.
Last month, in a Chris-obsessed fashion, actor Chris Pratt was announced by Marvel to portray Star-Lord, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Last week, former wrestler Dave Bautista was official cast to play Drax the Destroyer.
It really was only a matter of time. First Spider-Man had a live show, then DC had Batman. Now Disney and Marvel are joining with Feld Entertainment to bring Marvel Universe Live to stages in 85 cities, followed by dates overseas.
First there was the photo of Henry Cavill as Superman in an action shot that displayed his strength, then we saw Superman in handcuffs — not exactly an image we’re used to — now we finally see him striking the iconic Superman pose. And standing beside him is Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
The cast for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past is already massive with new and old faces, and it seems like additions won’t end. The latest news is a rumor, but it comes from James McAvoy, the actor who portrays the young version of Charles Xavier.
Back in November NBC was courting Hugh Laurie to star in Crossbones as the pirate Blackbeard. It would’ve been a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.
The trailer to Joss Whedon’s version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is out. The obvious fun part — other than Whedon directing — is his cast. For example: Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Nathan Fillion, and Clark Gregg. You’ll notice they all come from previous works that Whedon helmed; Buffy, Firefly, and The Avengers. I also wanted an excuse to name-drop.
