It’s funny that in retrospect I didn’t have much excitement for The Dark Knight Rises. The first images and trailers didn’t strike a chord with me like The Dark Knight did. It didn’t seem like there was much progression in the story and aesthetics.
Despite being Marvel characters, the film rights to The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man belong to opposing movie studios. So unfortunately we never had Spider-Man gracing the big screen with the other superheroes. But news broke out that the film studios were planning to acknowledge each others’ movies.
We’re getting closer to the release of Judge Dredd, which means more photos circulating for the remake. Yes, there was a film loosely based on the comic years ago starring Sylvester Stallone; yes it was a very cheesy but fun movie, but it barely took things from the source material.
The remake stars Karl Urban as Judge Dredd and co-stars Olivia Thirlby as rookie cop Cassandra Anderson, with Lena Headey as the antagonist, Ma-Ma.
Actor Lucas Till, who portrayed Alex Summers (Havok) in X-Men: First Class sat down and talked about his character and things he wants in the sequel that is in the works. A major thing he wants? The inclusion of a particular love interest for Havok.
Seven years ago WB and DC tried to get a Justice League movie into production. It went as far as casting the parts of Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash. But as we can all tell, the film didn’t pan out.
So it’s no surprise that once Marvel kicked things heavily into gear for The Avengers that WB would have another try at bringing their superhero team on the big screen. In fact, WB anticipated the success of The Avengers and hired Will Beall to write the Justice League screenplay.
I was hesitant to write about the speculation a lot of fans are having about Marvel Studios’ direction with a character in their films — but hell, I’ll throw a little fuel on the fire as well.
If you haven’t watched The Avengers yet, (who in this world hasn’t seen it yet?) definitely do not read . But if you have, this is a rumor that could end up true, so read on if your curiosity is too strong.
Spoilers ahead:
There’s no slowing down Marvel Studios. Filming for Iron Man 3 is underway, with snippets of information and photos making their way online. Directed by Shane Black, the third movie follows Tony Stark’s narcissistic good times after the events in The Avengers.
