No Lazarus Pit For Oliver Queen In Arrow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18792:]]

The mid-season finale of Arrow saw Oliver Queen seemingly killed off at the hands of Ra’s al Ghul and then fall off a cliff.

It’s been speculated that Oliver Queen may return with the help of the Lazarus Pit, which is Ra’a al Ghul’s restorative chemical pool.

Stephen Amell even teased the Lazarus Pit on his Facebook page by teasing Arrow fan art (above).

However, now it’s learned the Lazarus Pit won’t be responsible for bringing Oliver Queen back.

While speaking with the Collider, Amell rules out the Lazarus Pit.

“We just saw him fall.  We’ve seen Oliver survive,” Amell responded when asked what it would take for Oliver to have survived. “So, [we don’t know] whether he went straight off the cliff, whether something broke his fall, whether he hit the ground.  We have mystical herbs on the show that have healing powers.  We’ve seen a Lazarus Pit, although that’s not something that’s going to be used for Oliver.  I hope he survives.  I like playing him.”

Arrow returns this week, Wednesday, January 21st at 8pm ET on the CW.

Batman Vs. Superman Fights Described & More Details

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18790:]]

We learn details about the fights in Batman Vs. Superman from stuntman/choreographer Guillermo Grispo.

Grispo has worked as a fight coordinator on the likes of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, 300: Rise of an Empire and also on Kingsman: The Secret Service, Riddick and the Legend of Hercules.

While Christopher Nolan used a form of martial arts known as Keysi for his Batman Trilogy, Grispo is trained in more traditional forms of martial arts including Aikido and Ju-Jitsu, both of which stem from original Japanese martial arts. In addition, Grispo is knowledgeable with the Japanese sword, Russian Sambo, Filipino Boxing, fencing, knife handling and Kempo.

Grispo participated in an interview with the Argentinean website Los Andes. Below are some of the details (translated).

Grispo says Warner Bros. is very strict and he cannot say much, but there should be no surprise if he does say that Batman and Superman face off in the film. He says the fight is one of the most important sequences in the film, which he was actively involved in designing. The Batman Vs. Superman fight features a series of punches/fights and physical movements put together with his partner, Ryan Watson.

Grispo goes on to state that you would think Batman would have no chance, that Superman would crush Batman like a bug. He says, but when you see the movie it will makes sense, and there is a clever explanation behind the Batman Vs. Superman confrontation that at first seems completely disadvantageous for Batman.

Grispo says Batman will fight the way that he has always dreamed to see him fight. Batman is a character so prepared in martial arts that he can do many things, but it’s not usually taken advantage of. Grispo then goes on to state that he wasn’t happy with how Christopher Nolan handled the action scenes in The Dark Knight Trilogy, stating the action scenes “are not very good” both from a technical viewpoint of martial arts – due to the choreography and mismanagement of camera.

Grispo continues stating not to get him wrong, Nolan is a great filmmaker – he takes off his hat to him – but it seems to him that Nolan did not taking the time required for the fights, as they have to be shocking. Grispo says Zack Snyder loves to prepare, which is a luxury.

Grispo then states there will be a big difference between how Batman fights in Batman Vs. Superman compared to the Nolan movies.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Marvel Surprised At Spider-Man Rumors

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18787:]]

This past week saw new Spider-Man rumors hit the net stating that Spider-Man in The Avengers: Infinity War – Part One was a done deal.

Following that, Sony quickly responded stating it wasn’t true.

Now some of the Hollywood trade reporters have gathered together on a podcast with some updated news.

Marc Graser of Variety, who broke the Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America 3 story, stated he talked with Marvel about the Infinity War rumor. 

According to Graser, Marvel was surprised by the rumor and was “wondering why it popped up again” and “had no clue why.”

Graser also speculated about Spider-Man returning to Marvel where Graser said it will involve a lot of money.

Graser said it’s up to producer and the former head of Marvel Studios, Avi Arad, for Spider-Man to be featured in Disney movies as Arad controls Spider-Man at Sony. 

Graser also pointed out that Spider-Man is really the only thing Arad has going on right now.

Another point was made that Disney is already making a lot of money from Spider-Man as they own the merchandising rights to the Spider-Man movies, so it’s not like they really need Spider-Man in their films.

“They would love Spider-Man to be in one of their movies, and it would just boost sales,” Graser said. “But they don’t need it.”

While Graser seemed to be insinuating it’s a long shot that Spider-Man would be back at Marvel, he did state that he wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel is having screenwriters working on scripts with Spider-Man in them just to have things ready if a deal does go through.

Regarding Spider-Man costing a lot of money, Disney did pay billions for Marvel and Star Wars, so it’s not like they haven’t dished it out before.

Bad News: Constantine Ratings Lower With New Time

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18786:]]

NBC recently moved Constantine from a Friday 10pm ET time slot to an 8pm ET time slot in hopes the ratings would improve.

Constantine returned this part Friday, and the bad news is the ratings went down.

More than likely the reason for the drop is Constantine didn’t get the lead in from Grimm, which it usually followed.

However, Grimm‘s numbers were down as well.

Constantine‘s ratings for Friday at 8pm earned a 0.8 among adults 18-49, which is down from the 1.0 from the previously aired episode (December 12th) at 10pm ET.

The episode saw 3.08 million viewers tune in, down from the previous episode’s 3.3 million.

Executives at NBC recently hinted if the ratings didn’t improve for Constantine, the show would be cancelled.

The execs cited too many comic book shows on TV and that Constantine isn’t as popular a character as The Flash or Batman as reasons why the show wasn’t doing that well.

NBC Universal does own SyFy, which would probably be a better network for Constantine, so maybe we could see it continue on somewhere else.

Henry Cavill Wants to Play Superman For As Long As It Takes (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18785:]]

We get more video featuring Henry Cavill talking Superman as the actor was once again interviewed at the BAFTAs.

This time Henry Cavill is asked how many more times will he want to play Superman.

Cavill’s response comes as good news for fans of his Man of Steel.

“As many as it takes,” Cavill said. “I love the character. I love working with Warner Bros. and what they are doing with it. So fingers crossed I’ll be able to tell the story for many, many years to come.”

Cavill is also asked whether his favorite British past time is having afternoon tea or throwing one back at at pub. Cavill responds with the latter.

“I am always… rather… to throw one back at a pub,” Cavill said with a grin.

Speaking of the pub, when Henry Cavill was in Michigan filming Batman Vs. Superman, the actor ran into some trouble at a local bar as an apparent argument ensued with a group of Michigan natives calling themselves the “Deaf Wolfpack.” Apparently Cavill misunderstood a fan who happened to be deaf, which led to the fan’s friends getting a bit rowdy.

Watch the video below with Henry Cavill talking Superman, and Cavill previously stated Batman Vs. Superman will make cinematic history as well.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Ethan Hawke Says Scott Derrickson Is Right Choice For Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18784:]]

Ethan Hawke was said to be a potential candidate to play Doctor Strange, and while he won’t get the chance to play the Sorcerer Supreme for Marvel, the actor did previously work with director Scott Derrickson on the hit horror movie Sinister.

While participating in a recent Reddit QnA, Ethan Hawke was asked about Doctor Strange and offered the following, stating it’s in good hands with Derrickson.

Doctor Strange sounds particularly interesting to me, not just because of the quality of the comic, but because of the man Marvel hired at the helm. Scott Derricksen directed me in SINISTER, and there’s a lot of lousy horror movies made. But Scott Derricksen really understands the genre. And the math and geometry involved in telling a great ghost story. And I feel certain that he will make an excellent Doctor Strange film if they give him the reins.

But really, I don’t covet any roles as much as I covet relationships with talented people. People often ask me “Do I prefer theater or film, or writing or acting?” And what I really prefer is being in a room with gifted, passionate people. Because it’s contagious. It helps you be in touch with the best part of yourself.

And sometimes, that doesn’t mean really successful, big-shot types. Sometimes it means being in the room with students, and young people whose idealism is undaunted.

I like listening to Laurelai Linklater and Ellar Coltrane talk about movies (my costars in BOYHOOD), and art, cuz they talk straight from their heart, with no secret agenda.

Regarding whether or not Ethan Hawke was going to play Doctor Strange, he recently stated on a podcast that he would be open to playing a similar character:

“If people are going put up with somebody like me, they want to make sure you’re going put asses in seats, and there’s a lot of actors that are going to to put more asses in seats than me. There’s a tremendous amount of salesmanship that’s now really important to a studio like that. It’s a tremendous amount of time in your life where you’re working, and you’re not acting. They’re making movies at a high rate, and they’re making them successfully. I’m totally open to doing something like that.”

Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Tom Hardy Left Suicide Squad Because Of The Script

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18750:]]

When Warner Bros. officially announced the cast of the Suicide Squad movie maybe red flags should have gone up as how is the movie going to find the time to accommodate all the actors with enough screentime?

Well, that seems to be exactly the problem as recently it became known that Tom Hardy had dropped out of Suicide Squad.

While scheduling issues were cited as the reason, now it’s being said that Tom Hardy wasn’t happy with the script and screentime.

According to Latino Review, when Tom Hardy signed on to Suicide Squad, he had yet to read the script.

However, once the full cast officially came together, it’s said the script was tweaked to given Will Smith and Jared Leto more screentime.

So when Tom Hardy finally got ahold of the finished script and saw what he perceived as not enough screentime for his character, Rick Flagg, he bailed.

With Tom Hardy out of the picture, Jake Gyllenhall had said to be a potential replacement.

Suicide Squad has an August 6, 2016 release directed by David Ayer starring Jared Leto as The Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Jesse Eisenberg is rumored to follow his Batman vs. Superman debut as Lex Luthor.

Looks Like Jesse Eisenberg Is Bald For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18783:]]

More evidence has surfaced that Jesse Eisenberg will be bald for Batman Vs. Superman.

Fandango debuted a first look at Jesse Eisenberg’s next movie that follows Batman Vs. Superman with Now You See Me 2.

Jesse Eisenberg can be seen pictured with a buzz cut/short hair, which may signfy his hair is growing back from playing Lex Luthor.

Different rumors have surfaced in regards to Jesse Eisenberg’s hair in Batman Vs. Superman, with one rumor even stating he may have longer curly hair.

Perhaps at one point in the movie it is longer, but we are guessing we’ll also see Jesse Eisenberg with the classic bald look of Lex Luthor.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Kristen Stewart Wants Captain America 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18782:]]

Kristen Stewart, known for playing Bella in the Twilight movies, has stated she is interested in possibly returning to big-budget franchise movies.

While speaking with Yahoo, Stewart noted that her role as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman could be a jumping off point for a superhero role.

“I’m sure I could get on board with Captain America, you know what I mean?… It would just have to be the right thing,” she said.

Stewart continued with mention it’s not like she is trying to avoiding big movies.

“I never expected Twilight to even be a series, and we didn’t even know we were going to do a sequel,” Stewart offered. “So I would love another big movie to come along. It’s definitely not something I’m avoiding.”

With Captain America 3 set to be a really big movie as it pits the Marvel heroes against one another, maybe Kristin Stewart could fit in somewhere? Stewart doesn’t specifically state Captain America again, but further notes how she likes her movies to be on a larger scale.

“I was 17 when we started the whole Twilight series. I was so excited to do a teen movie. Everything I had done was like kind of heavy and I was really into it. I was just enthralled by it, and that’s what I need,” she said. “I want to do big movies. You get to play with more stuff and there’s so much more at your disposal. You get to do it on a larger scale, you get to connect with more people. I am all about that. I just want to do it for the right reasons.”

Any ideas which Marvel hero or villain Kristen Stewart could play?

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release starring Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Falcon and Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier.

Fox May Revive X-Files With David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18781:]]

It’s learned that Fox is considering bringing back X-Files with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

The good news comes from Fox Television Group chairman Gary Newman who confirmed talks are underway at the recent Television Critics Association winter press tour.

“It’s been reported, and it’s true, that we’ve had some conversations about [reviving] X-Files” [ideally with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson],” Newman said, reports TV Line. “But I have nothing that we can announce at this time.”

X-Files ran for 9 seasons with 202 episodes and two movies, which kicked off back in 1993.

There has also been talk of an X-Files 3 for quite a while, but series creator, Chris Carter, said it was up to Fox.

Gillian Anderson is currently involved with NBC’s Hannibal, and David Duchovny has a show coming out on NBC as well with Aquarius, so it remains to be seen whether they would be involved in any new X-Files.

Both actors have said at one time or another they would like more X-Files movies, but could Fox be considering a new X-Files TV series?

Batman Vs. Superman Will be Cinematic History Says Henry Cavill (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18779:]]

Henry Cavill recently appeared at the British equivalent of the Oscars, with the BAFTAs, where the Man of Steel talked a bit about Batman vs. Superman and Ben Affleck.

In the following interview, which looks to be ripped from the Daily Mail, Cavill notes he hasn’t kept up much with what has been going on in the world due to being in Michigan for Batman Vs. Superman.

“To be honest, I’ve been kind of living in the dark, “Cavill said. “I’ve been in the wilds of Michigan shooting Batman v. Superman, and I have not been up to date on anything, so I’m slowly slowly catching up on stuff.

“It’s Zack Snyder. So it’s going to be a visual spectacle,” Cavill responded when asked what fans can expect from Batman Vs. Superman. “And it’s cinematic history. We are doing Batman. We are doing Superman. And it’s all happening at the same time. Fingers crossed, it turns out to be as exciting as I think it is.”

Cavill is also asked about giving advice to Ben Affleck.

“We are talking about Ben Affleck, here. I don’t need to give him any advice,” Cavill said. “The guy is a legend. The guy does his own thing. He’s great. He’s fantastic.”

So who wins between Batman and Superman?

“I can’t tell you that.”

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

No Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen For X-Men: Apocalypse

It’s learned the next X-Men movie will be without Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

Larry King recently interviewed Patrick Stewart and asked the first Professor X if he was going to be in X-Men: Apocalypse, which comes out in 2016.

Yahoo got a first peek at the interview with Stewart from Larry King, with their article also noting that Patrick Stewart hasn’t rules out being a part of an X-Men spinoff film like Deadpool or Gambit.

Constantine Season 2 Not Guaranteed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18775:]]

We get some disappointing news coming out of the recent Television Critics Association press tour in regards to the future of Constantine on NBC.

IGN spoke with a couple of executives who seem to be making excuses why the show may not get a second season.

While it’s obvious that Constantine was hurt by the late Friday night time slot, NBC tries to say the reason for the show’s lack of success – at least for live viewings – is due to too many comic book TV series or the fact that Constantine may not be as well known as a Batman or Flash.

“We wish the show had done better live,” Jennifer Salke, president of NBC said. “It has a big viewership after [it airs] in all kinds of ways and it has a younger audience, but the live number is challenging. It hasn’t come out in the way we wanted it to, but we love the show. I think it’s fair to say we’re still talking about it.”

“We got on the bandwagon of these shows based on comic books and maybe there are too many of them,” added Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC. “It’s a popular series of comics, but it’s not The Flash, it’s not Batman. So maybe it suffers a little bit there. But as Jen said, it’s a show we really like. We love Matt Ryan, who’s the star of it. I think we did right by the fans who didn’t like the film that was made of it. The future is still up in the air for that show.”

Of course the execs are going to try and find blame elsewhere, and not on themselves for the decision of the Friday night time slot, but there may be a ray of hope in that Constantine still has a chance of a second season.

When Constantine returns tonight, the series will be featured at an earlier time starting at 8pm ET. It seems from what is stated above, if Constantine doesn’t improve in ratings for the new time slot, it will more than likely be cancelled.

For what it’s worth, the Gotham “Batman” series airs on Mondays and Flash airs Tuesdays – both at 8pm.
