Wonder Woman tv series, again?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I did not know this, but apparently the CW wants to compliment their Arrow not only with Booster Gold but Wonder Woman as well. They’ve already looked at casting according to ComicBookMovie.

NBC already tried this and failed, though from what we heard about it that’s a good thing. The lead actress just didn’t fit the part, the costuming department had a stroke, and the background was a bit off base.

CW seems to want to go the way of Arrow, make it ‘realistic’ with her being a warrior raised girl in the big city. Could work… but really depends on how they approach it and whether or not the audience are going to get super-human’d out.

Jackman Confirmed for DOFP

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 28, 2012| 1 Comment »

Hugh Jackman joins Stewart and McKellen in reprising their roles for Days of Future Past according to CinemBlend. This was almost a given seeing as Jackman was in First Class and the immortal-ish nature of his character means he can fit anywhere.

I still think he would be a good fit for the time-traveller since, again, he’s old enough to be in both places, but at the same time I don’t want another Wolverine movie. That is what made First Class such a breath of fresh air, it wasn’t “the Wolverine” show like the first three movies.

No word yet on any of the other cast. Famke was apparently up for it in Wolverine so if they call I’m sure she’ll be right there. Paquin just had a kid and got a good thing going on TV so she may not be up for it. I don’t think anyone else of note is doing anything big right now so could see Bobby, Kitty, Beast, etc.

As much as this is cool though, I really want to see this whole thing rebooted so we can have one kick butt Rogue… yes… I do have a one track mind.

Booster Gold: The Series?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 28, 2012| Leave a Comment »

A Booster Gold tv series had been talked about, but as ComicBookMovie points out, the idea isn’t dead. The man behind Arrow stated that he’s still working on the project and going to pitch the idea by Christmas.

Booster has a 50/50 chance. I say this because while Smallville did excellent and Arrow so far isn’t too shabby, Wonder Woman got tanked and Booster Gold is not exactly a household name. True, Green Arrow wasn’t one either but he had the bonus of being a major character on Smallville for some time during the end of its run. That at least helped in bringing over the Smallville audience.

This is definitely one of those ‘wait and see’ kind of projects.

More on Vaughn

CinemaBlend reports that Matthew Vaughn likely left Days of Future Past to work on a Mark Miller adaptation called The Secret Service. Since Mark Miller is in charge of FOX’s comic-book-movie franchises it looks like he wasted no time getting his own project up and running.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Casting News

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , on November 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »

According to TVLine, Brett Dalton is the next relative newbie to be brought into the S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series from Whedon.

He’s deadly, precise, and cool under fire — but not so great with the people skills.

So he’s kinda cliché? And it looks like the cast will be a bunch of 20-something hotties with this trend. Sounds about right… that’s the target demo for most tv audiences but I would hope he’d do something for the older audiences too.

Stewart and McKellen in DOFP

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on November 27, 2012| 2 Comments »

From CinemaBlend:

Bryan Singer, who has agreed to return to the X-Men franchise to helm Days after Matthew Vaughn walked away, took to Twitter to share that Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen would be in the planned film, reprising their roles as Prof. X and Magneto.

Of course, this doesn’t saw whether they will be cameos or have any real depth. Hugh Jackman had a cameo in First Class so a similar instance may occur in Days of Future Past, likely when whoever goes back in time goes back in time. (I still don’t think it will be Kitty, ages don’t fit).

Now, there is also the little issue of Xavier being dead, maybe, not really sure, depends on how you want to read the Easter Egg on Last Stand (plus it’s not like he hasn’t died and come back before, canon wise). But then of course Jean is also dead and apparently she’s making a cameo in The Wolverine (which since it hasn’t been categorically denied by now lends to the very likelihood that a cameo was shot).

This news is another piece that leaves me feeling neutral. Either this could make things that much better or that much worse… all depends on how it plays out.

Why so serious? Iron Man 3

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , on November 26, 2012| Leave a Comment »

According to CinemaBlend who keeps track of these things way better than I do… Kevin Feige who directed Iron Man 3 says that the movie isn’t really all that serious.

“It’s not a serious movie, but we seriously dig into exploring more of Tony. The trick is just trying to make great movies. We try to make them all great, all different and all fresh. What you’ll see in Iron Man 3 is some very unique directions that were taken.”

The smart guys at CinemaBlend point out the movie Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, Feige’s other work, which touched on a lot of serious subjects but was a comedy (I didn’t find it all that hilarious, it had its moments).

And do the marketing guys know about this because from the trailer it looked to be pretty darn dark and gritty. Since the only thing I really like gritty are my grits… I’m not sure if I should be pleased at this statement from Feige because while it means we’ll have some in Iron Man 3… his ideas of ‘unique directions’ could end up making me *headdesk* the seats in front of me.
