David Goyer boards Superman prequel show???

BleedingCool are reporting that David Goyer has signed on to a new tv show called "Krypton", this comes on the HUGE success of the new shows "Gotham", "Flash" and "Constantine" the latter of the two Goyer has a connection to.

There is very few details about the potential show right now, however, BleedingCool are speculating that the show will be a Drama based on the planet of Krypton involving the house Of El and Brainiac. The Kryptonian scenes from "Man Of Steel" were well received by fans, one could speculate that this also had a influence in why the show was given any traction.

David S Goyer talks DC future

We already have two DC new shows this year, and they are both off to a great start Gotham and Flash are both getting great reviews from fans (critics views do not matter if the viewers keep up and the fans are happy). Just around the corner we have the "Constantine" television series, and show runner/developer David S Goyer has recently done an interview with ScreenRant.

SCREEN RANT: Speaking of storylines, we all know that Constantine…with other characters like Zatanna, or any of the other DC magic people. Would it be possible to see Justice League Dark in any way, shape, or form? Would you want him to be a part of something like that?

GOYER: Yeah. I think you’ll see some of those…If the show takes off…even within the first 12 episodes we’ve introduced two or three characters from the broader DC universe that are not just exclusively from Hellblazer. Corrigan has been mentioned, but there’s a couple of other characters we haven’t talked about that will show up as well. If the show takes off and we get our back nine and come back a second season, we sort of have access to that whole corner of the occult universe. So, hopefully we’ll be introducing those characters as is appropriate.

SCREEN RANT: I know a lot of fans have a question about the structure of the master, just via TV or as it’s shaping up as a whole. You’ve got shows like Arrow, like Flash, like Supergirl from CBS. You’ve got Titans on TNT. You have Constantine on NBC. Different networks but all one studio company. I think a lot of fans are wondering is there room for movement even though these characters are on different networks, because they are under one master house? Could we see them interact?

GOYER: You know, never say never. There aren’t any immediate plans, but it would be interesting to try that, to do kind of an internetwork crossover. I think anything’s possible. But we have to get our sea legs first. We’ve gotta premiere in a couple of weeks, and hopefully the audience likes what we’ve got and then we’ll see.

SCREEN RANT: I know one of his biggest confrontations that everyone would love to see adapted on the screen was Constantine and Swamp Thing. Is that something that has been thrown around at all?

GOYER: It’s been thrown around. It’s not something I think we’d attempt in the first season. We need to make sure that we can pull off the special makeup effects. We don’t want to do a cheesy version of Swamp Thing. It’s a lot easier to do Dr. Occult or Satana or Jim Corrigan than it is to do Swamp Thing. So we’ll see.

Why "Deadpool" should NOT be PG 13!

Where to begin on why "Deadpool" should not be a PG 13, well the main reason it should be is because you will struggle to find a single fan who agrees with the idea of it. There has been talk about the potential idea of a solo Deadpool film since Ryan Reynolds played the Merc With a Mouth back in 2009 in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" however in my opinion they should drop Ryan Reynolds get a new Deadpool!

So after the leaked footage surfaced a few months ago, the whole comic world went absolutely crazy with excitement, the details we could make out through the grainy imagery was a brilliant look at how it may be done. However, Fox decided to release their HD version of said test footage resulting in a lot of us being let down, turns out that the whole thing was CG, nobody wants that Fox, NOBODY! If you haven't seen it, you're in luck (kind of);

Given this test footage it was safe to assume that we would be getting a 15/18 or R-Rated depending on your location, however, turns out we were all wrong it's looking very likely now that Fox are set to make the film a 12/PG-13. Could they be any further from being right?

Hello, Fox? DO WE MATTER?!?!

Lets all be honest, is Reynolds a viable option still? I mean David S Goyer signed on to make a solo Deadpool film in February 2004 and back then Reynolds was attached to star, so for OVER a decade they have been trying to get it made and haven't even came close. Surely somebody doesn't have faith in this project or it is just not meant to happen. I say start from scratch wipe it all clear and start from scratch anyway I digress back to PG-13. I will post some panels from Deadpool comics to prove that child friendly rating is so wrong it's laughable.

Child friendly idea???

Surely this is child friendly with its sexual overtone?

What about a one armed Wade?

Surely Wade's physical appearance is child friendly?

That's just four panels I came across doing a tiny bit of looking, my time reading a few Deadpool comics I guess around 30, there is probably countless ones in them alone that prove my point. Just because you own the rights to a character Fox, doesn't mean you should bend the idea over and go in dry. You just have to look at what use done in "X:Men Origins: Wolverine" to see how you destroyed a character, even the look in Origins was awful.

I envision this is how the majority of Deadpool fans are sitting right now awaiting your decision Fox, do the right thing, GIVE US GORE AND VULGARITY!!!

Ben Affleck is BATMAN!!!

“We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some,”

WB president Greg Silverman said in a statement.

Zack Snyder went on to say;
“Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne,” Snyder said in a statement. “I can’t wait to work with him.”

BURBANK, CA, August 22, 2013 – Ending weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck has been set to star as Batman, a.k.a. Bruce Wayne. Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in “Man of Steel.” The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

The studio has slated the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.

Last month’s surprise announcement of the new movie featuring both Superman and Batman created a wave of excitement and immediately fueled discussion and debate—among fans as well as in the media—about who would put on the cape and cowl of Bruce Wayne’s alter ego.

Snyder successfully re-imagined the origin of Clark Kent/Superman in the worldwide blockbuster “Man of Steel,” which has earned more than $650 million worldwide to date, and climbing. The director will now create an original vision of Batman and his world for the film that brings the two DC Comics icons together.

Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent. The film will also reunite “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

Kroll added, “We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.’ remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes.”

Affleck recently starred in the Academy Award®-winning Best Picture “Argo,” which he also directed and produced, earning acclaim and a BAFTA Award nomination for his performance in the film, as well as a number of directing honors. In 2010, he starred in and directed the hit crime thriller “The Town.” His recent acting work also includes “The Company Men,” “State of Play,” and “Hollywoodland,” for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Earlier in his career, Affleck starred in and co-wrote (with Matt Damon) “Good Will Hunting,” for which he won an Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay.

The new Super Hero film is being scripted by David S. Goyer from a story he co-created with Zack Snyder. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan and Wesley Coller serving as executive producers.

Production is expected to begin in 2014.

The film is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, and Batman characters created by Bob Kane, published by DC Entertainment.

"Constantine" TV Series update

We all know that NBC are working on their adaptation of the hugely popular Constantine comic, today we have some further plot details and characters we are likely to see in the pilot. These WILL BE SPOILERS if they come true, however for now they are still rumours, but could still be SPOILERS. Scroll down for the details, I repeat SPOILERS.
<<<<<Plus how bad ass does Matt look!!!












Huge thanks to the guys and girls over at Shock Till You Drop, the main details of which are here;

• At the beginning of the first episode, Constantine has checked himself into a psychiatric institution after witnessing a 9-year-old girl have her soul taken to hell by a demon. When he checks himself out, he’s been there for six months.
• Constantine “is a clever wise-ass” who “masks his emotions with humor.” Hopefully, he’s more deadpan than, say, boisterously sarcastic.
• In the TV version of Constantine, Papa Midnite will be Cuban instead of Jamaican. Apparently, he can “dream the future” and when we meet him, he’s “doing a lot of cocaine because he has to stay awake.” For what reason? It doesn’t say. Though we do know that Midnite will be the primary villain of the show – for at least the first season.
• A regular girl named Liv Parsons – seemingly a vehicle to help viewers understand this supernatural world – discovers that something nefarious is coming for her. She teams up with Constantine, who used to be friends with her dead father and owes him a debt. Their team-up will apparently form the basis of the show.
• Constantine has an angel named Manny “assigned” to him to “help ease his soul into damnation.” Which seemingly confirms that his background will be similar to that of his comic book counterpart. In the comics, Constantine stopped a demon from taking the soul of a dying friend. For this, the demon promised to send Constantine to hell when he died.
• In the first episode, we’ll see all kinds of supernatural craziness, including “possessions, ghosts [...] and demons.”
• We’ll also meet “Chaz” – Constatine’s driver – a “tall, sensitive, quiet type” with a lot of knowledge about the supernatural. In the comics, his name is “Chas” Chandler, who was previously played by Shia LaBeouf in the 2005 Keanu Reeves film.
• And now for the most important thing: Constantine won’t be wearing his famous trenchcoat…at first. But he will eventually. So don’t get too up-in-arms.

Matt Ryan cast as Constantine!

NBC have found their John Constantine! Deadline are reporting that Welsh actor Matt Ryan, who you might recognise from "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour" he also played the voice of Edward Kenny in "Assassins Creed IV".

The series will be the 4th DC related TV Series on air when the next TV schedule starts later this year the others being the returning "Arrow" and two new shows "Flash" on CW and "Gotham" on Fox.

"Man Of Steel 2" has LEX and ALFRED!!!

Warner Bros. Pictures have just announced that Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor and the Jeremy Irons has been cast as Alfred in the upcoming Zack Snyder "Man Of Steel" sequel. The double announcement came today by Greg Silverman,

Snyder stated, “Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman’s rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940. What’s great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He’s a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions.”

The director added, “As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne’s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure. He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious façade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.”

Adam Driver denies Nightwing rumour

The rumour started circulating about a week ago that star of HBOs hit show "Girls" Adam Driver was in contention for Dick Grayson in the upcoming Man Of Steel sequel. Speaking recently with Collider, Driver was strong in his belief that he hasn't heard anything at all about this role.

"No. Not that I know of, no. If you find out, let me know, then I'll know."

"That's like intensely flattering as you can imagine. I mean, it's Batman and Superman, who doesn't want to be involved in something not only of that scale but of who those characters are. That's an incredible world to be able to be in for a bit. Like who wouldn't want to do that?"

"Superman vs Batman"!?!?!

We ALL know by now that the sequel to "Man Of Steel" is going to be a film including Batman which is already being titled by some as "Superman vs Batman". There has been talk of Batman and Superman teaming up on the big screen for as long as I can remember an now are getting it!!!

According to reports we have a lot to look forward too;
"After decades of fighting evil solo, Batman and Superman will finally be teaming up on the big screen, multiple sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter.

Warner Bros. is expected to announce at its Hall H panel that as the follow-up to Man of Steel, it is pairing two of the most recognizable superheroes in the world for a one-two punch that will be directed by Zack Snyder.

Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman, but it is unclear who will play Batman in the new film. A release date of 2015 has been set, with tentative plans for a Flash movie appearing in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017, sources said."

Even if you weren't a fan of "Man Of Steel" I think we ALL agree that it is a shame that this film didn't happen a lot sooner. However bringing Nolan's Batman together with Snyder's Superman won't work. I think we have to completely leave behind Nolan's world an start fresh with a new Batman. Plus, if Christian Bale comes back I will genuinely cry and boycott the film.

David S. Goyer on "Justice League" and the "Man Of Steel" sequel

"Man Of Steel" screenwriter David S. Goyer has began talking about a sequel and the possibility of a "Justice League" movie. Regarding the latter, he tells Hey U Guys that it would definitely feature a new Batman and not Christian Bale, as was rumoured before.

"It would be disingenuous to say Warner Bros doesn’t hope that this would be the starting point for a shared universe. And Zack has said that Bruce Wayne exists in this universe. It would be a different Bruce Wayne from Chris’ [Nolan] Dark Knight trilogy, and it would be disingenuous to say that Zack and I haven’t had various conversations on set, around ‘what if’ and ‘moving forward’.

That having been said, it’s all going to depend on the next few weeks. Warner Bros has hopes that there will be more Man Of Steel films, and that this will be the beginning of a shared universe. We could meet Batman, or Wonder Woman, or the Justice League in these movies. But they all hinge on box office reception."

"I think Warner Bros has seen – and Chris deserves the biggest credit for this – that we were able to revitalise Batman and put it into the first billion dollar superhero film. And they’re hoping that Superman will be revistalised as well. And if we can do Batman and Superman, then maybe we can move on to Wonder Woman, and The Flash, and characters like that."

Goyer also talked to CraveOnline about Lex Luthor appearing in the Man of Steel universe.

"If Lex is going to exist in the world, we would presumably have to give him the same treatment that we gave Lois Lane in the first film, which is make him a credible character. [...] He’s gotta be a man of incredible intelligence, and presumably a man of incredible wealth and incredible resources."

"Man Of Steel" to 'Cause' "Justice League" Movie?

It has been rumoured that earlier this week that Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer have been given the job of working on the "Man Of Steel" sequel. In that report it was also stated that Goyer has signed a three picture deal with Warner Bros. which apparently includes the "Justice League" movie. Here's hoping he is writing that too, because he done a great job on "Man Of Steel" as well as pretty much most things he writes.

Bleeding Cool caught up with the writer and got a little more info on which direction they may be going with the shared universe. Here is an excerpt from their conversation:

David Goyer: It is our intention that, in success, this would be the zero issue and from this point onward, possible films could expand into a shared universe. In our world, the Man of Steel world, Zack has gone on record saying that we’re implying there are other superheroes in this world. But I don’t know that they’ve come forward yet. The idea is that Superman is the first one. There might be people helping people, but not in costumes, and that Superman comes forward and announces himself to the world. In him announcing himself, he’s the one that changes things.

Bleeding Cool: You’re positing a cause and effect?

David Goyer: Yes, yes absolutely, in our mind.

Bleeding Cool: And so now, Bruce Wayne will feel alright in his ears, where he might not have dressed up like that before. Is that the kind of thinking?

David Goyer: Well, yes… there’s definitely… I don’t want to get too in depth. Obviously, Zack and I have had conversations… but there would be a cause and effect. And that would extend to the collateral damage that happened, and to what other countries feel about the fact Superman calls America his home. Man of Steel doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

New "Man Of Steel" trailer

So, here it is another trailer for "Man Of Steel" this film just seems to get better and better every time I seen a new clip or trailer or even picture. The trailer reuses some footage we have already seen, the word epic is tossed about a lot in the movie world these days but saying this film will be "epic" might be an understatement. Snyder has done a great job, well from what we can decipher from watching the clips we've seen, depending on how good this film turns out to be. Snyder could put himself in the running for "The Justice League" film I think.

"Man Of Steel" new images

Empire Magazine has a feature on the upcoming DC film "Man Of Steel", so you know what that means new pictures! All be it, magazine scans but we've got some new pictures woop.

No Jimmy Olsen in "Man Of Steel"

Has anybody else noticed that there is no mention of any Jimmy Olsen in any of the posts about "Man Of Steel", I was doing a little looking around on the Wikipedia and IMDB page for the film an didn't see any actors rumoured to be playing him. But, on the IMDB cast page there is an actress called Rebecca Buller who is playing a character called "Jenny Olsen" has Jimmy been replaced by a lady for the new film?

So I decided to go back an watch the most recent trailer of the film released by Warner Brothers a few weeks ago. There is one scene where we see Laurence Fishburne (who is playing Perry White) running with Buller arm in arm away from a collapsing building. So Jimmy is now a Jenny? Way to confuse a guy Mr. Snyder! Below is a still I took from the trailer on Youtube, see what I mean?

"Man Of Steel" TRAILER!!!

If you can't wait for the trailer to be released officially, like me. Then you're in for a nice surprise, here is the trailer all be it with pretty horrible quality. But, be QUICK the video will probably be taken down very soon.

"The Dark Knight Rises" overload

Looks like over my 2-3 week hiatus, I missed a lot of "The Dark Knight Rises" information a lot of them are pictures. So here it goes, expect some cool stuff in this post. With this amount of media release you wouldn't think that there was still a few months until the film releases.

"Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance" French poster

Columbia Pictures have released their French poster for the upcoming "Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance" coming to cinema's n February.
