Report: Christopher Nolan now on the hunt for female lead, for “The Dark Knight 3″…

Leave a comment

Tom Hardy is the latest to be casted as one of the male leads, now Chris Nolan is on the hunt for female lead for “The Dark Knight 3”. Of course, everyone will be thinking that Chris is on the lookout for a female villain such as Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, etc. That doesn’t mean a female villain is confirmed for the next one. What if Bruce Wayne finally has a love interest?

Maggie Gyllenhaal can’t come back because she was killed in a explosion from the last one, remember that?

More on it here.

Check out this list in the Batman love interest section, here.

Some may know that Batman had female villains such as Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, but there are others. Other female villains are Mercy Graves, Smoke, and Blaze. People would like to see Harley Quinn be used, but she can’t. Why? Because I’ve said it before. She’s known to be the Joker’s girlfriend and Chris doesn’t plan to bring the Joker back because of Heath’s death. So you can leave Harley out. Honestly, I don’t see Chris using a female villain for the next one.

As for Batman’s love interest, I’d love to see Chris use, Talia Al Ghul, who is Ra’s daughter. It’ll make some sense with the story since Ra was in “Batman: Begins”.

Thought: Why do people want Brandon Routh back so bad?

Leave a comment

I look through entertainment movie blogs and message board forums talking about the actor choices for the upcoming new, Superman movie. The most popular picks are Brandon Routh and Jon Hamm. Brandon Routh is the most popular choice, of course. Ya know, I thought, “Superman: Returns” was a pretty good movie, but the only thing is, I never cared for Routh as Superman that much.

The reason people want Routh back is because he’s so similar to Christopher Reeve. Plus everyone wants to see Routh in another Superman movie. Honestly, I would prefer Jon Hamm more than Routh. I said before, I don’t want Routh back. I like Jon Hamm, he’s the better choice, I think.

I know I said this quite a bit, but don’t be surprised that it could be neither Brandon Routh or Jon Hamm as Superman. They could go with Leo Dicaprio due to the success of “Inception” like I said before.

So who would I want to play Superman? Honestly, and here is my 2cents. The Superman role should go to an actor who is not a big name star. In other words, the role should really go to an unknown. Christopher Reeve was an unknown when he came in, so was Brandon Routh. All that stuff with Brandon Routh possibly being considered to come back, all that news is from a UK newspaper, “News of the World”, which are tabloids. So I’m not believing that. The role should go to an unknown. I’m sure Chris and Zack would get a guy for Superman, that we’ve never even heard before. So don’t get all excited that they could get a big name superstar for Superman.

Thought: I wouldn’t really call Superman a crimefighter, MTV!!!

Leave a comment

I just wanted to respond to this article, here.

MTV News said:

“Instead, the DC Comics icon will return to his early days as a crimefighter in a wholly original story.”

Can MTV get anything right? I’ve been a Superman fanatic for many years, ever since I was a child. So I know for a fact, that Superman was never really a crimefighter. The crimefighter is none other than, Batman. Not Superman.

Superman has always been known to save people’s lives. If a plane is about to crash, or if a school bus is about to fall off a bridge, Superman would come to the rescue. If someone falls off a building or if an Earthquake is about to happen, Superman would come to the rescue. Sure, Superman fights some crime, like he would catch burglars and terrorists, but he never went as far as capturing murderers, kidnappers or bank robbers, that’s all Batman.

Why would MTV call Superman, a crimefighter? So stupid, if you ask me. Any Superman fan would know he’s not a crimefighter.

Report: Zack Snyder reveals that the new Superman movie will be original and will focus on earlier days of Superman…

Leave a comment

Zack Snyder recently did a French interview on a French film website to promote, “Legends of the Guardians”, over seas, and of course, he was asked about the Superman movie he is directing soon. While Zack still refuses to discuss the plot, he did reveal a little. He says the next Superman movie won’t be a remake of the earlier films and it won’t be adapted from the comics. The next Superman movie will stay focused on Superman’s earlier days.

More on it, here.

What does he mean, by the earlier days of Superman? Will the whole movie be taken place in Sueprman’s home planet, Krypton? If so, that would be really cool. “Superman: The Movie” had scenes on planet Krypton but very little, only in the beginning of the film. If we had a Superman flick that was taken place on planet Krypton a lot more, that would be sweet. That would mean Jor-El would get more screen time.

Either that, or are we going to get the other plot where most of the movie will be taken place at the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Zack is keeping quiet on the plot ’cause I’m sure that is what he is paid to do. Christopher Nolan and WB’s don’t want the plot revealed until the time is right. Hopefully they’ll reveal the plot soon ’cause I’m dying to know what the story will be about too.

Report: Tom Hardy casted for Christopher Nolan’s, “Dark Knight 3” but keeping his role a secret for now…

Leave a comment

Wow! Christopher Nolan is on a roll with both “Superman” and “Batman”, working on both at the same time, it seems! First Chris hires Zack Snyder to direct, “Superman” and now Chris hires Tom Hardy for a top secret character in, the “Dark Knight 3”. They won’t reveal Tom’s character yet, but everyone is quickly assuming that it could be a villain character.

See the article at, Deadline.

Now, now, people. Settle down. The article never said, that Tom could possibly be playing a villain. I mean, he could, but Tom could still be playing a major good guy character, too. Don’t you think that Tom Hardy could play a good guy character who tries to help, Batman? I’m not saying he could be playing, Robin, but a different Batman character who’s a good guy.

Maybe Tom could be playing, Harold Allnut, who helps Batman with his crazy gadgets and maybe Hush could be the main villain for, “Batman 3”? Something like that could be a possibility. All this talk on Tom playing a lead villain, is just speculation, ’cause I guess that’s what the Deadline article wanted people to do. To play all these silly guessing games for the villain he will be playing.

If Tom is indeed playing a villain, I’d like to see him not playing one of those crazy costumed villains. Maybe Tom could play the role of Joe Chill? Joe Chill is the guy that killed Bruce Wayne’s parents and this could be a nice revenge story.

Report: General Zod is not the villain for next Superman flick, Zack Snyder says…

Leave a comment

Zack Snyder, the new director of “Superman” did this little interview at this blog site, and he says that General Zod, being villain for the next movie, is just a rumour.

Kind of a good thing actually. I would honestly not see General Zod or Luthor be used again. What Superman villains haven’t been used yet for live action film?

Look at this list, and see for yourself.

I would like either: Brainiac, Doomsday or Darkseid.

Toyman would be cool too.

Report: “The Flash” and “The Green Lantern 2” scripts will be handed to Warner Bros. by Christmas of this year…

Leave a comment

I know everyone is getting sick and tired of superhero movies, but can you blame them? They’ve been huge money makers these days with Raimi’s “Spiderman” movies and Chris Nolan’s “Batman” flicks making a lot of bucks, I can’t blame Hollywood for going crazy with them. I believe that Hollywood’s goal is that they want all DC and Marvel superheroes to get their chance at the big screen. Not all of them had their turn at the big screen yet, and Hollywood is giving them one at a time. The Flash and the Green Lantern never had their big screen debuts yet, so I think they deserve it.

We’ll get a “Flash” and “Green Lantern 2” film soon ’cause the scripts will be handed to Warner Bros. later this year.

See the article here at, Deadline.

I was never much of a Green Lantern fan, but I absolutely LOVE the Flash. So I’ll be more interested in seeing a live action, Flash movie. Could John Wesley Shipp reprise his role as the Flash for the live action movie? Sure, why not. He’s not that old, he’s 54 now and that’s kind of young.

Thought: About Zack Snyder’s slow motion technique, as long as people hate it, proves he’s a good film maker…

1 Comment

If there is one thing that bothers me about Zack Snyder directing Superman, here it is. I don’t like how movie fans are bashing Zack Snyder’s “slow motion” technique, which is what he’s known for in all of his films. People say he does it way too much during an action sequence, when something moves so fast, he slows it right down to try and make it look cool. You know what? Zack’s slow motion technique doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I actually find it pretty cool on how he does it.

Why the hell are people picking on Zack Snyder for his slow motion technique, when this same technique has been done so many times in so many films from the past. For example, the slow mo technique has been used in almost all of the Terminator films, Star Wars or any action film from the past has used slow motion for action scenes. Sylvester Stallone used it for one scene in the new “Rambo” movie. It’s been used in the “Expendables” as well. What about the “Dark Knight” movie itself? All the movies you all love have done slow mo.

People hate Zack Snyder’s slo mo technique, because they know he’s the best at it. Zack is an expert at the slow motion technique ’cause you can do so many different creative things with it by using computer effects. He’s done slow motion like no other film maker has done before. Zack’s slow motion is part of the art. The slow motion is needed in certain parts so it can create some magical special effects along with it. People don’t complain about the high number of slow motion effects in many other superhero films, so why do people bash Zack for it? The reason for the slow mo, it’s a cover up that they can’t do the stunt for real because it’s too dangerous.

There will probably be a lot of Slo Mo in the next Superman movie, but hell, even the old Superman flicks with Christopher Reeve had plenty of slow motion too, so shut the hell up about the slo mo, people! Hypocrites, my god!

Thought: Who should score the music for “Superman: The Man of Steel”?

Leave a comment

After Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan decides the casting for the new “Superman” movie that will be directed by Zack Snyder, soon they will have to find a composer to make the music for the film. Some may think that WB’s and Chris will have Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard to score “Superman” just like they did to the two Batman movies, but I hope they won’t go for them two guys again.

If they want to stay true to Superman, they need John Williams back for this gig. John Williams is Superman when it comes to music. Another composer would turn Superman fans away from seeing the movie. So I think they would get John Williams. John is still composing movies to this day, he’s been scoring for all those Harry Potter flicks. As long as he’s available, they’ll probably get him.

I really hope they get John. It would be a mistake if Chris forgets him. However, Warner Bros.’s does own the copyright to the Superman theme, the original Superman heirs the Siegels do not own it.

The opening Superman theme for the new movie won’t be exactly the same as the classic, John will probably write up a new version to get the current feel. I hope Zack and Chris will open the new Supes flick in space where the text is flying at ya on the screen. I’m sure they will stay true to that. Check the videos below as examples of what I’m talking about. Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns” opened the movie the same way. See how the opening theme intro is a little different? Chris and Zack will do it right, I’m sure they aren’t that stupid.

Report: Why Zack Snyder was hired to do “Superman” and plot possibly revealed?

Leave a comment

Ok, here is the real reason why Zack Snyder was chosen to do the next, “Superman” movie. The reason is, David Goyer’s script was rushed and it was still a huge mess. They needed a director who can get things done quickly and not take their time. Zack Snyder is known to do everything quickly, so that’s why he was hired so he can help David and Chris complete the story quickly. They need to get things done quickly because remember, the lawsuit thing by the original Superman heirs, they must get a new Superman movie in production by 2011, or they could get a nasty lawsuit.

The plot has been leaked. The plot to the new “Superman” movie is rumored to be similar to “Batman: Begins”. Clark Kent is a journalist at the Daily Planet in Metropolis and he is just trying to decide whether or not to become, Superman.

More on the story, here.

If that’s what the plot is for the next movie, that’s pretty cool. I honestly, really like it. The plot is getting a lot of flak online, but Clark Kent trying to decide whether to be Superman or not, has NOT been done before in a film or a TV show. So that’s an original idea. I’m sure there is more to that story ’cause Zack Snyder himself hinted at what the plot could be about, “Why Superman?”.  Doesn’t sound like a remake of the TV show, “Smallville” or “Superman: The Movie” to me. Keep in mind that this a rumored plot so it’s not official. I’m not believing anything until either Zack or Chris starts talking about the story to the media.

If most of the movie is going to be taken place at the Daily Planet, where Clark Kent works, he’ll get harassed and bossed around by Perry White most of the time, would be an entertaining movie. Sounds like the story is just going to have Clark Kent throughout most of the movie, and Superman won’t actually show up toward the end. I hope Superman won’t show up toward the end, we need Superman throughout most of the movie.

I’m sure Zack or Chris will soon confirm if this plot is true or not once this news hits the internet heavy enough. Maybe they’ll reveal the real plot after?

In other casting ideas, I’d love to see Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard of Star Trek: TNG) get the role of Jor-El. Patrick could easily give it a Marlon Brando feel.
