SW EP7 Wish List: Loki

Posted in Random Stuff, tagged , , , on November 15, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Okay, so I’m going to start something called the Star Wars Episode 7 Wish List. Every time I see a rumor or something comes up that I think “yes, they should totally do this in SW EP7”, I will post it.

And first up, Tom Hiddleston, aka Loki, should be in there, somewhere. As a bad guy, be it a new Sith, a remnant of the Empire or some New Republican politician, he’d rock the house. But as a good guy, this could very interesting indeed, he can play emotional roles ranging from hapless to heroic so… yeah…

I wish that Tom Hiddleston was cast in Star Wars Episode VII.

Thanks to CinemaBlend for the heads up on this one.

Pleather?

So, Bryan Singer tweeted that there will be no leather suits in Days of Future Past, thanks to CinemaBlend for the heads up.

Now, the question is: does this mean there will be no ‘team’ ala X-Men: The Movie or is everyone going to get a variant on their classic outfits?

I’m good with either.

Thor 2: Eccleston As Malekith

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »

CinemaBlend has new pictures from the set of Thor: The Dark World and for a moment I thought I was looking at someone’s model minatures.

Thor: The Dark World - Dark Elves

Seriously, model minatures.

There is also a picture of Eccleston as Malekith, the dots are kinda funny, I’m thinking that they are for some CG to be done in Post. I hope so, cause they are kinda weird.

Suit Makes The Man?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 12, 2012| Leave a Comment »

ComicBookMovie.com has some more set pictures from The Wolverine but the interesting thing about this is all the comments. A lot of complaints about the fact that Wolverine hasn’t been shown in costume/uniform. Why all the hate?

1) This is post X3 and apparently he was going to Japan for a funeral before all heck broke loose, I can totally see him not bothering to drag his leather get up especially if the X-Men might be completely disbanded by this point.

2) If it’s the yellow spandex they are talking about, yeah, even Stan Lee admitted (and I wish I had the link to it) that you can draw this stuff on characters, but not actually put it on real people. Truer words, folks, truer words. Sure, some of the costumes work out, I’ve seen some good cosplayers, but with some, no matter how much effort they put into it, it just comes out looking, well, stupid. And since you can’t have half a costumed team, the leather look is perfectly fine to me.

Oh, I will admit, the leather jacket with the yellow stripes from Origins… one of the best things about that movie. That’s how you pay homage to the original costumes, not by actually making them wear it.

Singer is Tweeting

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , on November 10, 2012| Leave a Comment »

From ComicBookMovie.com.

We now know  that filming of X-Men: Days of Future Past will begin shooting next April  for its July 18th, 2014 release, but director Bryan Singer (who has recently joined  Twitter as @BryanSinger) is now  Tweeting details about the production. It’s hard to say exactly how long this  will continue for, but it’s well worth following the filmmaker on the off chance  that he reveals some particularly juicy details. Don’t forget that it was Singer  who actually revealed the title, so fingers crossed! Judging from the Tweets  below, the sequel is set to be filmed at least partially in Montreal, Canada. X-Men: First Class was shot primarily in Matthew Vaughn’s home country of  England, but Singer did both X-Men and X-2 in Toronto and  Vancouver so it makes sense that he will return there.

So, might be worth it to keep an eye on Singer, and good to know that DOFP will be filled in Canada, or really, that’s neutral news. Montreal gives the same feel as the previous X-Men movies so yay for consistency.

Rumor Mill: Vaughn directing Episode VII?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on November 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »

As CinemaBlend put it, emphasis on rumor.

This would make more sense if Episode VII was scheduled for a 2014 release as he’d want to get started right away, or at least during the time he’d be filming Days of Future Past… but then Days of Future Past won’t start filming till next year which is when he’ll want to get started on the massive load of pre-production which would mean he’d need at least the back-end of 2013 clear and all of 2014 to work on what is quite possibly the most anticipated movie since… Episode I.

I think Vaughn would be a great choice to helm Episode VII, but at the moment, I’m taking all rumors with a big ol’ grain of non-iodized salt.

It’s official. According to ComingSoon.net, Bryan Singer will take over the helm of X-Men: Days of Future Past. While Vaughn staying on would have been better, can’t say this troubles me as all.

The Wolverine Teaser One-Sheet

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on October 29, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Fox released the new teaser one-sheet for The Wolverine and I snagged it thanks to CinemaBlend. Now, Fox has had a bad run of X-Men posters lately, I mean, all of their FC posters were bad photo-shops and completely devoid of any imagination. But with The Wolverine… I think they have a winner.

The Wolverine plot point?

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

As CinemaBlend pointed out, in this still from The Wolverine, Logan is sporting bone claws.

still from The Wolverine

Now, we’re pretty sure Magneto isn’t in The Wolverine. If McKellen has been tapped for this movie, we would all know by now, and I doubt him losing his metal ala the comics is something that would be more than a cameo anyway.

So that leaves flashback…

But why? At first I thought ‘they really need to bring in more Origin stuff?’ but then it occured to me that he’s not so much in a cave but a pit. This is probably related to the scenes where he is in that POW looking camp. Odds are this is background/setup as to why he’s in Japan and attending a funeral, probably of someone he met at this moment in time.

So I’m cool with this.

Random thought: Would it be cool if this was actually the Easter Egg, Logan trapped in a cave with bone claws and Jean comes to save him but Logan is all “you’re dead”… tantalizing… but yeah, not gonna happen.

The Wolverine is a modern setting

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , on October 25, 2012| 1 Comment »

If all the pictures hadn’t given it away, The Wolverine will have a modern setting as confirmed by the director James Mangold.

I do like that he’s going to ‘be beholden’ to the X-Men films, that makes it stand on its own and has a bit of reboot value. Still cautiously optimistic about this film, but I could still be running off the high from X-Men: First Class.

This also puts the news that Jean Grey having a cameo in The Wolverine in a new context… Jean died in X3, not that this has stopped her before. So is this a flashback? Or is she still alive and basically confirming this is a reboot? Very interesting…
