02/23/12--08:30: New WRATH OF THE TITANS Trailer Debuts (chan 1400377)

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) --the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)--is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), switch loyalties and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and


02/23/12--09:38: VIDEO GAMES: New Trailer For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; Plus Release Date (chan 1400377)

More The Amazing Spider%2DMan Videos I've stopped myself getting too excited for movie tie-in games a long time ago but this one does look pretty good. That music is really unusual too, I like it. The game was scheduled to be released sometime in the Summer, but now we have an official release date of June 26, 2012. Thanks to RIMM7 for the heads up. Oh, and check out the Spidey-belt!

Let me add that I have no clue who Mad Moxxi is, but after seeing photos of the women in that outfit I want to pick up every single copy. Also, I saw a lot of women in David's portfolio dressed up like Lois Lane. What the hell is up with that? Suffice it to say, no Lois Lane cosplayers made the cut. Images Courtesy of David Ngo


02/23/12--10:10: BLEACH Anime Series To End March 27th, Manga Starts It's Final Arc (chan 1400377)

Just yesterday, I had the pleasure of reporting that Warner Bros. has finally decided to begin the process of making a live-action Bleach movie. However, it's with mixed feelings that toady, I report that the anime will air it's final episode in Japan on March 27th. The manga will continue on but it's also been confirmed that Tite Kubo is entering the final arc of the series. Hopefully it will receive the send-off it deserves as both the anime and manga have enjoyed a LONG run atop the best-seller's chart. Most anime fans would agree that the series peaked during the Soul Society arc and has been locked in a meandering waltz ever since; however, Bleach remains profitable and popular and will go out as one of the top 3 anime/manga's alongside Naruto and One Piece. Of course, it's bittersweet that the anime and manga are wrapping up

Even if it's not exactly how he will sound as Judge Dredd in the upcoming movie, it's still pretty cool!.. And courtesy of Live For Films here is a look at the cover of the 35th anniversary issue..

02/23/12--10:53: New Trailer For James McTeigue's THE RAVEN Starring John Cusack (chan 1400377)

In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who’s using Poe’s own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin), the film also stars Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster). When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper—part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe’s


02/23/12--10:57: New YOUNG JUSTICE Clip Reveals Magical Villains In The Episode "Misplaced" (chan 1400377)

"What happens when all the adults on the planet disappear?" Young Justice is an American animated television series created by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not an adaptation of Peter David, Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck's Young Justice comic series, but rather an adaptation of the entire DC Universe with a focus on young superheroes. The series follows the lives of teenaged heroes and sidekicks who are members of a fictional covert operation team called Young Justice. The team is essentially a young counterpart to the celebrity-level famous adult team, the Justice League. The main setting is the fictional universe of Earth-16, during a time period in which superheroes are a relatively recent phenomenon. The series debuted on January 7, 2011 with a two week reairing of the first two episodes, which originally aired as an hour long special on November 26, 2010. Young

USA Today has debuted the new trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The show is gearing up for the final four episodes with a long story arc that will include one of the only bright spots in Episode I, Darth Maul.

Variety has just broke the news that wrestler turned actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks to star in Brett Ratner's Hercules. MGM is developing the movie and is looking to Johnson for box office pull.

02/23/12--11:59: EXCLUSIVE: Interview With TALES FROM DEVELOPMENT HELL Author David Hughes (chan 1400377)

A compulsively readable journey into the area of movie-making where all writers, directors and stars fear to tread: Development Hell, the place where scripts are written, actors hired and sets designed... but the movies rarely actually get made! Whatever happened to Darren Aronofsky's Batman movie starring Clint Eastwood? Why were there so many scripts written over the years for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas's fourth Indiana Jones movie? Why was Lara Croft's journey to the big screen so tortuous, and what prevented Paul Verhoeven from filming what he calls "one of the greatest scripts ever written"? Why did Ridley Scott's Crisis in the Hot Zone collapse days away from filming, and were the Beatles really set to star in Lord of the Rings? What does Neil Gaiman think of the attempts to adapt his comic book series The Sandman? All these lost projects, and more, are covered in this major book,


02/23/12--12:21: COMICS: FLASH Villains Getting Revamp‏ (chan 1400377)

It seems like I've been hearing people make fun of the villains Flash runs into on a regular basis, since I was a child. Evidently, DC felt they were in a perfect position to do something about that with their DC New 52. The creative team behind the current Flash relaunch, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato recently talked to NEWSaRAMA about the direction they're taking the title and the character. In addition to giving the "Speed Force" a slight revamp, they're also making some adjustments to his well known "Rogues." What follows are some interesting tidbits they had to say concerning Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd and Turbine. Brian Buccellato on Captain Cold... Captain Cold is not a pushover. And I think Flash is in for a little bit of a rude awakening. He's not your daddy's Captain Cold. Francis Manapul on Gorilla Grodd and Turbine... I'll be honest, with Gorilla Grodd, we're changing quite a


02/23/12--12:24: G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Stars Tease Flint/Lady Jaye Romance (chan 1400377)

Speaking with MTV, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona - who play 'Lady Jaye' and 'Flint', respectively, in the upcoming action film G.I. Joe: Retaliation - talk about the relationship between their characters, saying that it'll please the Joe fans and that it'll build up as the film progresses. "Anybody that's familiar with 'G.I. Joe,' any of the storylines, they're two very main characters and they have a pretty specific relationship between them that evolves and goes certain places," Cotrona told MTV. "I think we did it justice in the movie so I think the fans are going to be really excited." When the film begins, Flint and Jaye will already have had history together, Palicki said. "We kind of came into it with our own storylines," she explained. In addition, Cotrona teases how far the relationship will go. "It [starts as] a brother-sister thing, and it continues on into other places." Get More:

Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance -


02/23/12--13:13: WORKING CLASS HERO Joins Fox's Animation Domination (chan 1400377)

Deadline is reporting that Fox has placed an order for Patton Oswalt's new animated comedy series Working Class Hero. A show that, "set in a world where superheroing is just another low-paid government job and centers on a dad (Oswalt) whose powers are no match for his misfit superhero co-workers and his demanding family." While Fox has been dominating Sunday nights it is also apparent that the network solely relies on suckling from the creative teet of Seth MacFarlane, and Matt Groening. At some point The Simpsons and Family Guy will head off into the sunset, and you'd hate to see late night animated television disappear for good when that happens.
