Cool Video: Full length, “Man of Steel”, trailer is finally here!!!

This looks like a pretty amazing movie. Will we finally get a great Superman movie, we’ve all been wanting for years? Will Zack redeem himself with this one? So far, this film is looking pretty amazing. The music played through the trailer, is the new music composed by Hans Zimmer.

I love how Lois tries to give him the Superman name, but then they cut it to a different scene right before she said it. Look like we’ll have to wait for the movie itself for her to say the “Superman” name, in full.

It does look like a realistic approach to the character, though. It’s about time, too! Wish Christopher Reeve himself was still alive to see this movie going on. I’m sure he would have loved it too! Enjoy all! I’m psyched. I’m definitely gonna be there for this one.

Report: Warner Bros. announces, “Batman: Arkham Origins”, video game…

Earlier today, Warner Bros. announced the new installment to the “Batman: Arkham” game franchise. They just made, “Batman: Arkham Origins”, official. However, this one won’t continue the story after, “Arkham City”. This one is going to be a prequel. Taken place years before the first one, “Arkham Asylum”. The only thing though, Rock Steady, has nothing to do with the game anymore. They aren’t doing it, so the style of the next game maybe a little different.

It’ll focus on a younger Bruce Wayne, fighting off super villains, we never heard before such as, Deathstroke. So it’s looking like the Joker will not be the leading villain this time. The game will be getting released in Oct. for all consoles, including the PC. We should expect a trailer of the game real soon.

Like some of you should know, I’m a huge Batman fan. So I’m looking forward to this.

More on the story, here.

Thought: “Man of Steel” question, who is Jenny Olsen???

I know this blog has been a bit way too political as of late, but I think it’s time for a change and go back to discussing movies/music and other entertainment which was the original idea for this site to begin with.

A young actress by the name of Rebecca Bulller, is listed as Jenny Olsen in the “Man of Steel” IMDB page, and in the “Man of Steel” trailer, you see Laurence Fishburne as Perry White running with a young girl which appears to be, Rebecca, in the trailer. A lot of people are speculating that Jenny Olsen, could be a female version of Jimmy Olsen. Jimmy Olsen is not in “Man of Steel” at all, I believe.

The character Jenny Olsen, is not from the comics at all. It’s an original character for, “Man of Steel”.

I’m thinking that Jenny Olsen could be a possible relative of Jimmy Olsen. Maybe daughter or sister, or maybe even his wife, something like that. That way, they can introduce Jimmy for the “Man of Steel” sequel.

“Man of Steel” is full of secrecy, and all will be revealed when we see the actual film in June. The film has been rated PG-13. Some may mistakenly say that this is the first Superman PG-13 film but it isn’t ’cause the last Superman film, “Superman: Returns” was PG-13. All the Chris Reeve films were PG, I think. Superman can’t be an R rated film ever, in my opinion, ’cause this character was meant to be enjoyed for people of all ages.

In other Superman news, I also see that characters for the upcoming, “Justice League” film have been confirmed, and they are none other than Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash. I hope they do a good job with the “Justice League” film. That film will be difficult to make it good. I know they will try to top “The Avengers”, but it will be hard to do. They just need a good director and good script.

Looking forward to both “Man of Steel”, and “Justice League”.

New “Man of Steel” image released from Warner Bros. today!!!

This is an official still from the upcoming new Superman movie, “Man of Steel”, directed by Zack Snyder. Some of you may ask. Why are his hands cuffed in chains and what is he being turned in for? Well my belief, is that since “Man of Steel” is taking a realistic approach to Superman, if there was a real life superhero who tried to fight crime himself, he would either be arrested or killed. That’s what I see going on here, in this poster. Superman could probably break out of the chains and escape easily, but he doesn’t in this image ’cause he is respecting the law.

Or I could be totally wrong and it could be a different reason in the actual film itself. I’ll have to wait and see.

I was honestly hoping that Warner Bros. was going to release an official photo of Michael Shannon as General Zod, but they haven’t shown us yet. I’m sure they will show us the new General Zod, in the next trailer, that will be shown before, “The Hobbit”. I can’t wait for “Man of Steel”, it’s one movie I most look forward to in 2013. I hope it doesn’t disappoint at all, and hope Snyder redeems himself this time.

Superman to wear red armor in the upcoming “Man of Steel” movie???

While Zack Snyder continues to be secretive on the upcoming “Man of Steel” movie, Mattel kept releasing pics of action figures from the movie, giving you a little glimpse of the film. AICN showed a few pics of Superman from “Man of Steel”. One pic with his blue costume, and the other with Superman wearing red armor, check it out, here.

Wonder what’s with the red armor, and that thing on his right arm? Look like he might have to fight something big & dangerous that might be more stronger than him. Metallo, perhaps?

“Man of Steel” comes out in Summer of 2013, and I wish we don’t have to wait that long. Anyway, we’ll be seeing another “Man of Steel” trailer with more footage and new music, that will be shown in front of, “The Hobbit”, movie. That’s one reason why I’m going to see “The Hobbit”, to see the new “Man of Steel” trailer. Of course, I’m looking forward to “The Hobbit” film itself, ’cause I’m a bit Tolkien fan as well.

Kev

Edit to add: Maybe that red is not armor at all, it might have something to do with that thing on his arm that makes him red. Helps makes him even stronger maybe?

Report: “Justice League” movie finally greenlighted for Summer of 2015 release…

Due to the big victory of Warner Bros. copyright case to Superman, Warner Bros. is not wasting any time on the, “Justice League” film, as they have just set a release date for, Summer of 2015. They hope to start shooting next year, so expect casting to start soon. Also, who should direct it and write it. Joss Whedon would be out since he’ll be busy filming, “Avengers 2”. There will be no Christopher Nolan or Zack Snyder. I’m not sure who to direct it, but as for who to cast as Superman, why not get Brandon Routh back? Good idea, isn’t it? This is a good chance for Brandon to reprise his role, if Henry Cavill is not down.

Anyway, this is going to be a very hard movie to make. Could it top, “The Avengers”? I don’t know. The story and directing needs to be spot on. “Justice League” needs to be more than just another typical popcorn action film. It needs to be a MOVIE!!! With great acting and a great story. Sure, I can definitely see, “Justice League” being an action packed ride, but the story needs to work.

More on it, here.

Well, I’m glad Superman got it’s rights back ’cause this could change everything with the Superman character in the comics, video games, cartoons and other forms of entertainment. I can see Superman finally getting his own action/adventure video game in the works soon. It’ll be cool to get a Superman video game that is similar to, “Batman Arkham Asylum/Arkham City”. Sure, Superman has appeared in other games such as “Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics”, “DC Universe Online”, and “Injustice”, but everyone wants Superman to get his own game. I can see why the video gaming industry hasn’t made Superman his own game yet. They are waiting for the character to come out with a hit movie, and when “Man of Steel” comes out in theaters next year, that will be the time to release his own video game.

EDIT TO ADD: I think I just thought of a director for the “Justice League” film. How about none other than Bryan Singer?

BREAKING NEWS: Warner Bros./DC wins long copyright battle over Superman!!!!! YES!!!!

Nobody can stop the, Man of Steel! I’ve been saying for a long time now that Warner Bros./DC was going to win this battle, all the way, and they did! That Marc Toberoff is a sleazy lawyer and even the judge knows that he’s a big piece of shit! Now Warner Bros. can feel free to use any Superman material, all they want to for the upcoming films! Even though “Man of Steel” is already finished and scheduled to hit theaters next year, the film makers could push back the release date and add more to the film if they wanted.

This battle isn’t over yet completely though, this is just a huge step in the right direction. This legal battle is just about over, though. Getting there. A huge congrats, go out to Warner Bros., and the DC team! I’m sure they are celebrating pretty hard with a party and all at their offices! We can celebrate too, by listening to the Superman theme again in the video below! WOO HOO!!!!! 🙂

I’m sure this news put a smile on Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan’s face.

Report: Sly Stallone to re-team with Robert Deniro for new boxing film…

Sly may be all done with the Rocky movies, there’s never gonna be a Rocky 7, but that’s still not stopping him for starring in other boxing movies as a different character! Sly is set to star in a film titled, “Grudge Match”, in which will star comedian Kevin Hart, in the leading role. Sly and Robert Deniro will be co-stars, fighting in a match together for the film. Stallone and Deniro once starred together for the film, “Copland”, back in 1997. What a kick ass idea to have Rocky and Jake in the ring together! I can see why those guys couldn’t pass up this opportunity to fight against each other. It just shows that Sly and Robert, both still has a huge passion for boxing.

Only thing though, this film may not do well in the box office, ’cause nobody cares about boxing anymore. I believe boxing lost it’s popularity ever since UFC got big. Who knows though, maybe this film could help people get interesting in boxing again. I used to be a fan of boxing myself, used to watch it all the time.

Deadline reports.

Warner Bros. to release 3D version of “Wizard of Oz” to BluRay next Fall…

Warner Bros. will be celebrating their big 90 year anniversary, next year, and they have a few big announcements. The first one, is that they are releasing the 1939 family classic, “The Wizard of OZ”, converted to 3D and fully restored, coming to BluRay sometime next Fall.

Plus Warner Bros. will also be releasing a 100 of their films in a box set, and a 50 film version DVD set. Both sets will have various Warner Bros. films they have released over the years. All of this is part of their 90 year celebration.

More on the story, here.

Cool stuff. Their Best of Collections would be too pricey to me, but I’ll probably get the “Wizard Of Oz” 3D Blu Ray. Hopefully they include the 3D glasses along with it. I am now interested in the “Wizard of Oz” in 3D BluRay.Seeing “Wizard of Oz” in 3D could be pretty cool. “Wizard Of Oz” has always been one of my favorite too.

Congrats to Warner Bros. on 90 years. I respect their legacy and history. They’re the guys that brought us the Looney Tunes and all the Superhero movies. We should thank them for the entertainment.

Report: “Man of Steel” will focus on a “naturalistic approach” similar to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy…

While this is no surprise, the new “Man of Steel” movie setting to hit theaters next Summer in 2013, will be similar to the Batman trilogy. The first “Man of Steel” movie will have an origin story much like, “Batman: Begins”. Just like that film was the beginning of Batman, this film will be the beginning of Superman. It’s going to ignore the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve style. This film will be like a Superman movie made for the first time. So you will not hear the John Williams main theme at all. “Man Of Steel” will make you wonder what Superman will be like if he was real. The screenwriter, David Goyer, speaks out on how he is handling the script, a little bit, but of course, he doesn’t get into details with the story and plot.

More on the story, here.

While, I’m still disappointed that the John Williams music won’t be in the movie, I’ll give it a chance. Maybe Hans Zimmer can give it a good score, who knows. I like their idea for the new Superman story, but admittedly, I’m a bit skeptical like some people out there. This film could be a flop and may not be as good. People may not be used to a different approach to Superman ’cause everyone is so used to the Richard Donner style. I do like Henry as Superman though, that’s a good choice. I’m just hoping and praying that this will be an amazing film. Will Zack redeem himself this time? Or will he make another shit movie, worse than “Sucker Punch”? Who knows. All we have to do is wait to see the actual film and than people can judge. If “Man of Steel” gets positive reviews from everyone, that would be amazing, but I am predicting that this film will get mixed reviews.

I’m hoping Warner Bros., will release trailer #2 soon with Hans Zimmer’s new theme and hope they will show General Zod for the next trailer. “Man of Steel” is just the beginning but I’m sure the sequel will leave open more ideas and more villains. Lex Luthor may not be in “Man of Steel”, but maybe he will get a cameo at the end and he could be the leading villain for the sequel?
