01/27/12--23:51: MAN OF STEEL Possibly Gets New Cast Member (chan 1400377)

Our friends over at Superman: Man of Steel (2013) have come across some information from Robert Gerdisch's IMDB page. The actor is listed as playing Whitney Fordham, and a photo of the actor posing with director, Zack Snyder. Just being listed on IMDB isn't enough, but the photo pretty much puts it to bed. So who is Whitney Fordham? At first if you're a fan of Smallville you might think this could be Whitney, but that character's last name was Fordman. But, that doesn't mean it can't be the same character. Perhaps on IMDB that is a typo, or Zack Snyder wanted to change the last name to differentiate from the Smallville version of Whitney. That Whitney is the star athlete and a rival to Clark for Lana's affection. So, we could be looking at the thorn in Clark's side. Man Of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane


01/28/12--01:14: First Look at Cobra Motorcycle for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (chan 1400377)

The mirrored image below is courtesy of 80s Tees. In the trailer the motorcycle can be seen, but the driver is a mysterious individual firing a machine gun. Now we can safely assume that the driver was a member of Cobra. 80s Tees Facebook Page has a new image of the motorbike, and because of their licensing agreement they were able to see some unfinished footage of the film. Below is what they posted on their Facebook page. “One of the best parts of my job is that every once in a while I get to feel like a bit of a Hollywood insider. This is because licensed product needs to be prepared before a movie gets released. Earlier this week I was treated to some unfinished scenes from GI Joe Retaliation. I can tell you that it looks like a ton of fun, and it’s packed with great action movie actors.


01/28/12--02:06: CBM Collectors Collections - Jay Casas (chan 1400377)

John Arturo - When did you start collecting and how did you get into the hobby? Jay Casas - I started collecting Transformers when I was a kid. I had Transformer toys from Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, and Armada. I really liked robots over monsters and aliens that other kids collected in their youth. After I collected a hundred Transformers I started watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing when it was airing on Cartoon Network's "Toonami" and I haven't stopped collecting Gundams since. John Arturo - Your collection mainly consists of Gundams, what makes Gundams so special to you? Jay Casas - In the television shows, Gundams are built to be far superior than any robot. It's not like Transformers where their are two opposing sides of robots fighting each other it's usually four or five Gundams going up against armies of robots and the Gundams always win. Each


01/28/12--05:07: Previously-Seen THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Picture in High Resolution (chan 1400377)

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field).

01/28/12--05:32: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Says He Cant F*CKING Wait For Marc Webb's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Dishes On THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (chan 1400377)

QUESTION: You and Gosling—two of our finest young actors—were primarily known as “indie guys,” but you’ve both lately crossed over into the mainstream. Was that a conscious choice of yours? Levitt: "What Parker [Posey] and I were kind of getting at last night was that 500 DAYS OF SUMMER seems like an independent movie to some, but it’s not really an indie. What’s important to me was that Marc Webb, who made 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, is an artist I connected with. And now he’s making AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and I can’t fucking wait to see what he’ll do with that. And Christopher Nolan got started with MEMENTO and FOLLOWING, and I would say that DARK KNIGHT has that same independent spirit, and that’s what people love about it; he’s able to take that sensibility and that care and love for his work, and do it on a really large scale." QUESTION: It’s fascinating


01/28/12--07:11: COMICS: Don't Expect To See The Green Goblin Taking On Spider-Man Any Time Soon (chan 1400377)

Talking to Comic Book Resources in their regular "Axel In Charge" feature, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso was quizzed about what 2012 has in store for Spider-Man. The past few years have seen Norman Osborn take a back seat as an adversary to Peter Parker (first as leader of the Thunderbolts and later as the villainous Nick Fury of the Marvel Universe) and with the former Green Goblin currently serving as an Avengers level threat, will we ever see him back as the Goblin facing off against Spidey? "It's likely you'll see Osborn battling Spidey and impacting on his world again sooner or later, but not necessarily as the Green Goblin. He's undergoing a metamorphosis into something new right now in the pages of "Avengers" and "New Avengers." "[We] want to keep the focus on Peter Parker, the guy at the center of the Marvel Universe. 2012 is looking to be a big one

The Daily Mail is reporting that Daniel Craig was spotted in London today filming shooting scenes for Skyfall. The star was seen in the backseat of a Range Rover being chauffeured to his next destination. A stunt man was also seen on the top of the vehicle driving the Range Rover and has led the paper to guess that there may be some high tech Q like gadgetry at play. A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'Six different countries were selected but after several technical and financial problems, it was decided to scale back and just use Turkey as the sole foreign location.' 'As well as Pinewood's incredible facilities, the UK has some stunning beaches, particularly along the south coast near Bognor and parts of Wales.'

Talking to The Times Of India, Andrew Garfield has once again opened up about his role as the iconic Marvel superhero in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. Apologies for the odd spelling mistake and lack of hyphen in "Spider-Man", but the answers below are how they were presented at the source. For more from the actor, be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site. On Which Aspect Of Peter Parker's Personality He Most Identified With: I have tried to explore Peter Parker as an orphan. Orphans, I feel, are the strongest human beings on the planet. The amount of things they have to deal with in their lives, is amazing. I have tried to capture how Peter copes with the feelings of being an underdog, his confusions and his self-doubt . This, I hope, has brought, a certain empathy and sensitivity to his character that explains

01/28/12--17:32: More Toys for THE AVENGERS Revealed! (chan 1400377)

I have to say these Assault Armor toys for Iron Man and Captain America are pretty strange. Don't get me wrong I like them, but I'm wondering if we'll actually see this armor in the movie, or it was just made as something to sell to the kids period. Would this even count as Hulk-busting Armor? Which one is your favorite?

01/28/12--18:55: Retro Review: BATMAN: THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (chan 1400377)

The Killing Joke is known as one of the greatest Batman stories ever told. Some even call it one of the greatest comics ever. Then there's the ever famous Year One, which served as an update for Batman's very first days of crime fighting. In 2005, a sequel to both Year One and The Killing Joke (well, at the same time it's a prequel to the latter) came about. This one would serve as an update for Batman's first ever encounter with the Clown Prince of Crime. The Man Who Laughs is the title of this graphic novel. It never reached the popularity of The Killing Joke, yet alone Year One. For that, some call it underrated. The Man Who Laughs I would definitely say is underrated, it doesn't get half as mentioned as its cousin The Killing Joke. Yes, I enjoyed this one more than the ladder. Batman and Joker probably
