Edgar Wright's Ant-Man Will Stand Out

The movie many fans have been waiting their entire lives to see, Edgar Wright's Ant-Man.  As we have watched The Avengers evolve together in a single film, there are a few characters that we can say have been missing from the mix.

Recently Edgar Wright told Entertainment Tonight how what he wants to do with the film and how he wants to surprise the audience.

"I want to make him into a badass [laughs].  No, I always like that comic and I always thought it would be an interesting thing to see in live-action.  That's why I [showed] that Comic-Con test that we did for Marvel, to show this fight scene like a proof of content, like this is what the action is going to be like.  I think a lot of people who maybe don't know the character sort of see that test and go, "Oh, right, I get it.  It's like an action film," so that's the idea.  I think people will be surprised by what kind of movie it is, and so in that respect it's something that I know is going to stand out because it's got a very different story and is a very different movie."

When asked about the tone of the film, whether if it'll have humor with action or straightforward, Wright says:

"Well, I think the Marvel movies are funny, you know? I think generally the Iron Man films and The Avengers is funny.  They're not ever in the comedy section, but they are funny and entertaining, so I think it'll be something in a similar vein to that."

With the Marvel adaptation already due to release four months sooner than it's initial release date, it won't be too far from the Avenger's sequel.

Although we know very little of the film, here's a little information about the Marvel Character:

Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym is a fictional character that appears in publications by Marvel Comics. Created by editor and plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber and Penciler Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 (Jan. 1962).  Pym's character, a scientist that debuted in a standalone science-fiction anthology story, returned several issues later as the superhero Ant-Man, with the power to shrink to the size of an insect.  Pym is eventually given a crime-fighting partner, Janet Van Dyne (Wasp) and goes on to assume other superhero identities, including the size-changing Giant-Man and Goliath; the insect-themed Yellowjacket; and briefly the Wasp.

Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character of Henry Pym has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as animated films; arcade and video games; television series and merchandise such as action figures and trading cards. Henry Pym is a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers.

'Tomb Raider' Movie Reboot

In a recent article on Variety there have been reports of GK films to be working closely with gaming developer Crystal Dynamics to put together the upcoming Tomb Raider movie. Here's what Darrell Gallagher, head of Crystal Dynamics says:

“They are working from this new take that we’ve given them… It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise… We didn’t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films.”

It is implied that the upcoming Tomb Raider will draw the storyline directly from the source material. The franchise reboot will probably stick to the intense origin story of the game. Lara Croft as a young 21 year old fresh out of the University and "her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold"

According to Noah Hughes, creative director at Crystal Dynamics. To remake “Tomb Raider,” nailing Croft was necessary, “Looking at Lara as a character, she was still going to be an intellectual heroine, a brilliant archaeologist, but more athletic, more competent in traversal and puzzle-solving and combat,” he said.

We may end up watching a rebooted Tomb Raider movie, with a storyline taken directly from the rebooted video game.  In a way it does make sense that GK Films is in heavy collaboration with the game developers for the upcoming film. 

Although it's still a long way from being real, make sure to keep your eyes on the lookout for the latest news on the Tomb Raider reboot.

Star Trek 2 - Gorgeous Teaser!

We finally have our first real look at the next adventure in Star Trek Into Darkness... and it's a super epic one!

The above teaser trailer shows Cumberbatch “one man weapon of mass destruction”, with his powerful voice over accompanying an imagery of destruction, fear, and the iconic Enterprise crashing into the surface of Earth.

Although story details have remained under the radar and top security, (well as I like to think so) what we do know thanks to the official Star Trek Into Darkness plot synopsis, the crew of the Enterprise will be pitted against Benedict Cumberbatch’s after Starfleet suffers a major blow. 

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

Star Trek 2 full trailer releases next week with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Moviegoers who check out The Hobbit in IMAX will get to see a 9 minute preview.

Tom Hardy To Star in 'Splinter Cell' Movie

Ubisoft has recruited actor Tom Hardy to star in "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell," a film adaptation of its popular video game franchise, as leading man Sam Fisher.  Attached to write for the company is Eric Warren Singer, known for (The International) as well as for American Bullsh**t, a film about the FBI’s ABSCAM corruption case of the ’70s and ’80s, which has attracted Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell (The Fighter) and a cast including, Jeremy Renner, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams.

Hardy will play 'Splinter Cell' hero, Sam Fisher, a highly-trained special operative in a fictional black-ops operation unit called Echelon.  The game series revolves around various ‘impossible mission’ scenarios Fisher must navigate, with plenty of back story.  The games’ appeal is mainly found in all of which require a combination of stealth, cunning, resourcefulness.

The game has sold more than 20+ million copies since its debut in 2002 and has a seventh installment, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, due out in 2013.

The project is the second major movie based on one of its properties that Ubisoft is looking to get on the big screen after setting up 'Assassin's Creed'.

"Tom Hardy is currently one of the biggest talents in the film industry, and he has a phenomenal ability to take on complex and varied roles with his broad range of acting skills," said Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures. "His involvement in the 'Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell' movie is exciting news for movie and video game fans alike. Meanwhile, Eric Singer is one of the most talented writers of the moment, and ... we're confident he'll bring a fresh approach and create a thrilling story ... while still respecting all the codes and traditions of the franchise that are so important to fans." - Variety

'Iron Man 3' New Details *Spoilers*

In recent news, Simon Philips, the President of Marvel Entertainment International, recently attended a presentation in São Paulo, Brazil. It was there, where he unloaded some very cool details for Shane Black's Iron Man 3, according to the Omelete.

Now before we jump right into it, I suggest you turn back now, because I am about to release some awesome details and spoilers!

                                                                    *****

                                                                 SPOILERS!

                                                                    *****

In the presentation, Phillips first began to speak about Tony Stark’s Extremis abilities in the film, where Robert Downey Jr. undergoes a medical procedure and injects himself with the Extremis virus. Extremis blurs the lines between Stark being a man vs. machine (a very important theme of the film). Also, the film is mostly based on Warren Ellis' miniseries, where Stark can interface with technology around him, and when it comes to his armor, he can summon pieces of his armor to himself at will, even from a distance.

Phillips also points out that Stark mixes and matches armor pieces from various different suits to come up with unique armor, making custom configurations. New designs with up to 16, and also included would be classic designs from Marvel Comics. 

Now this second spoiler, I'm going to bring it back to Comic Con 2012 during Marvel's Panel Presentation, where a fan asked if Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) will ever wear her own armor suit, like the Rescue armor from the books.  That's when Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige responded “We all want to see Pepper Potts ‘kick a little ass’ in her own suit.”

Well I'm here to tell you that Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow ) will wear her own armor. Remember in the comics, Tony saved his beloved from a fate similar to his - the shrapnel threatening heart - giving her an armor called Redemption. Also before I leave you all here, I wanted to point out the image above, which was captured from one of the scenes in the trailer, maybe Pepper Potts?

Transformers 4 | Mark Wahlberg's Confirmed Role

It's official, Mark Wahlberg will star in Transformers 4! After weeks of rumors and Internet craze over Wahlberg's involvement on Transformers 4, Michael Bay confirmed it, having the rumors partially convincing him to make the offer.

Here is Michael Bay's official comment on Wahlberg’s casting:

“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on ‘Pain and Gain’ and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the ‘Transformers’ legacy.”

After Michael Bay previously claimed that Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon would be his last. It was a ride on a Universal Studios roller coaster that convinced him the fourth time would be the charm.  Also, along with the casting announcement comes a reveal of the film’s logo treatment, (top of page) it’s still missing a subtitle. It's unknown if Paramount will stick with the ’4′ or come up with a better one later.

The darker sections of Transformers: Dark of the Moon were the main problems for some people. But now with Wahlberg attached to the role, the first member of the completely new cast of humans and robots, T4 might notably set a different tone than those that preceded it.

Marvel Movie 'Ant-Man' Movie Gets Official Release Date

Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios have set an official release date for the Ant-Man movie.Disney just updated their schedule of upcoming releases for the next three years.  On this list you see many movies, but at the bottom of the list was a very pleasant title which read:

ANT-MAN is now dated on 11/6/15 wide (Marvel)

There it is! Ant-Man will be helmed by Edgar Wright, British director and director Joe Cornish (Attack The Block).

Wright screened Ant-Man test footage at the San Diego Comic Con Festival in July (2012), He and Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige premiered an incomplete test footage of an Ant-Man action sequence to showcase the relatively miniature character and how his ability to alter his size could work in a live action film. The film will not begin shooting the movie until he completes The World's End, his latest project with Pegg.

Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ Pym – alter ego Ant-Man a brilliant scientist who invents a shrinking serum that makes him insect size. When he is Ant-Man he is able to solve mysteries and take out the bad guys!

"One day he discovered a process in which he would manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields. Pym tested the serums on himself, and had accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant and was trapped inside an anthill. Once normal sized, Pym destroyed the serums, thinking that they were too dangerous . He rethought his decision, and recreated the serums, dubbing them "Pym Particles" and developing a formula that would enable himself to shrink and return to normal size. He also worked on a cybernetic helmet to enable him to communicate and study ants." - Marvel

Although Ant-Man has never appeared on screen before, there are rumors that he could feature in The Avengers 2 before he stars in his own movie.

Mark Millar to Work on Fox's Marvel Upcoming Adaptation!

In recent news, Ultimate X-Men writer Mark Millar has been chosen to serve as a creative consultant for Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming projects based on Marvel Comics properties.  Comic Book movies keep rising to the top in Hollywood, it's like Comic book movies hit the movie jack pot, being that recently "Marvel Studios demonstrated that just like in the comics, separate stories and characters can be brought together in a shared, interconnected cinematic universe." - Rob Keyes

Twentieth Century Fox plans to do the same with the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises and they’ve hired Mark Millar to be their very own mastermind on the future projects. He will help guide the future X-Men movies along with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot.

Upcoming for the studio is "The Wolverine," starring Hugh Jackman, directed by James Mangold; "X-Men: Days of Future Past," directed by Matthew Vaughn; and a reboot of Fantastic Four, to be directed by Josh Trank ("Chronicle").

Mark Millar, writer for The Ultimates and Marvel’s successful Civil War crossover as well as "Wolverine: Old Man Logan," is also founder of Millarworld (millarworld.tv), where he continues to develop existing film franchise titles Wanted and Kick-Ass, as well as newer comic properties The Secret Service, Superior and Nemesis.

Here is Millar's Official Statement:
“As someone who has spent his entire life obsessed with both comic books and movies, this is essentially my dream gig as it's a unique combination of both,” stated Millar. “I spent ten years working at Marvel and am really happy with the work I did on the comic side of things so the idea of working with these characters now in a brand new medium is enormously exciting for me. I really like the Fox team, love this bold new direction they have for their franchises and am proud to be working alongside some of modern cinema's biggest talents. James Mangold is incredible, Matthew Vaughn's one of my closest pals and Josh Trank gave us, in my opinion, one of the greatest superhero movies of the last decade with 'Chronicle.' The invitation to join this crew was maybe the coolest phone call I've ever had.”

The Wolverine hits theaters July 26, 2013.
X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters on July 18th, 2014.

Thanos will be featured in both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2"

There has been a lot of news regarding Marvel's mad titan, Thanos, in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2" involvement.  In recent news, Thanos will be featured in both films as the main villain.

The Tesseract, or the Cosmic Cube referred to as, became the main enchilada that drove the plot of The Avengers, putting together the characters we have met over the last few years in the films.  These characters went into battle against Loki and his army of alien invaders.  But as we learned that Loki was merely a servant to something greater.

Joss Whedon has got some big ideas, so Thanos might be a major part of them. Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor 2 will provide more insight into Thanos’ role – especially if  Odin’s vault is, indeed, robbed.   The Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s vault, likely meant that Thanos’ appearance was confirmation of his central role in several future films. Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige talked about the fan reaction to Thanos on MTV's Splash page:

“There’s a great track record now about lobbing something in at the last moment to get the audience buzzing[...] Particularly when it came to Thanos, [we knew] that most people in that audience had no idea who that purple guy was — but they could clearly tell he was important, and knew if they asked the two or three people sitting next to them, somebody would know who he was.

“Clearly, there’s a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him[...] I wouldn’t say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what’s right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three.”

It sounds like Marvel is going to prepare us for an all-out cosmic insanity! The full Marvel ‘Phase Two’ release schedule is as follows: Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3rd, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8th, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4th, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st, 2014, and The Avengers 2 on May 1st, 2015.

First Look 'Fast 6' Set Images

Here is the first look with a few official images released (Courtesy of Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson). With the sixth installment of the series, the newest Fast and Furious 6 images has helped provide us with a  few hints on the film.  With no official title revealed as of yet, we can refer it to as 'Fast 6' for now.

The exact plot of the film has yet to be explained, but after to successfully shifting from street racers to a heist film with last years 'Fast Five', director Justin Lin is taking things even further in the film, putting a team of street racers with thieving skills to use across Europe.

The first photo comes from The Rock's twitter account featuring him and fellow co-star (and MMA fighter) Gina Carano, tweeting: "'Beast & the Beauty'.. Me & my FAST 6 partner in ass kickins (and fun) @ginacarano #BadAssChick"

In the picture below also from Johnson's twitter account, taking a set photo with the caption: “On set. FAST 6. Take 1: Rock throws man into table so hard entire ceiling crashes down. #MyBad.”

 Well if that doesn't have you interested already, Vin Diesel has also released a set photos from his Facebook page showing how positive Diesel is about the current production, but also categorize one of the photos as “from the trailer,” implying that early footage may be on its way. Vin Diesel releasing the photo below stating: “Proud of Our team. P.s. You really see the difference in the finished product when everyone, from crew to cast is striving to make magic. Blessed.”

Here is some more information from Screen Rant on the film:
"The still-living Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) is likely behind whatever plot twists writer Chris Morgan has come up with, as her character is one of the few that could pull the gang of racers-turned-master-criminals from their happy retirement. Conflict and motivation will be in great supply for Fast Six, with MMA fighter Gina Carano (Haywire) signed on as Hobbs’ new partner, and the likes of Luke Evans (The Hobbit, Immortals) and Joe Taslim (The Raid: Redemption) acting as new villains."

Fast 6 (not official title) opens in U.S. theaters on May 24th, 2013.

Dredd | Judgement is Coming!

As many of you might think the Comic book blockbuster summer movies are over, but I'm here to tell you that there is a project I have been meaning to write about.  This is a movie you might want to watch!

     
The return of Judge Dredd to the big screen is finally getting another shot after the 1995 film which starred Sylvester Stallone as the iconic 2000AD character. With Director Pete Travis remake and leading role Karl Urban (Judge Dredd), Olivia Thirlby (Judge Anderson), the film looks promising, especially with the promise that Judge Dredd won't take his helmet off.  Here is a quote by creator John Wagner on the Helmet worn by Judge Dredd made back when the Comic book was created:

"It sums up the facelessness of justice − justice has no soul. So it isn't necessary for readers to see Dredd's face, and I don't want you to."

Dredd based off John Wagner’s iconic comic book character, "is an American law enforcement officer in a violent city of the future where uniformed Judges combine the powers of police, judge, jury and executioner. Dredd and his fellow Judges are empowered to arrest, sentence, and even execute criminals on the spot. Judge Joseph Dredd is a fictional character whose comic strip in the British science fiction anthology 2000 AD is the magazine's longest running, having been featured there since its second issue in 1977."

Here is the latest trailer released with drug lord Madeline ‘Ma-Ma’ Madrigal (Lena Headey) declares the lives of the pair of Judges skulking around her base of operations, the futuristic Peach Trees compound.
