Watch: Everything Wrong With Alien

CinemaSins is back at it, this time revealing everything wrong with Ridley Scott’s 1979 Alien movie.

Alien kicked off the franchise starring Sigourney Weaver and brought in $104,931,801 worldwide.

While that amount may sound low compared to today’s standards, bear in mind Alien only had a budget of around $11 milllion.

Ridley Scott continues the Alien franchise with Alien: Covenant, which is out in 2017.

Watch: Kevin Conroy Talks Batman: The Killing Joke

Kevin Conroy returns to voice the Dark Knight in the upcoming animated DC movie, Batman: The Killing Joke.

Check out video below of Conroy talking about how the movie expands upon the comic book story.

You can watch the trailer here.

Batman: The Killing Joke makes its premiere at Comic-Con next month.

“Batman: The Killing Joke” arrives August 2, 2016 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Blu-Ray Deluxe Edition, Blu-Ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD. 

Synopsis:

Based on the acclaimed graphic novel of the same name, Batman: The Killing Joke takes a journey into the dark psyche of the Clown Prince of Crime – from his humble beginnings as a struggling comedian to his fateful encounter with Batman that changes both of their lives forever. Years later, and now escaped from Arkham Asylum, The Joker devises a plan to prove that one bad day can make anyone as insane as he is – setting his sights on Commissioner Gordon. It’s up to the Dark Knight to put a stop to The Joker’s latest scheme and save one of Gotham City’s finest. Following a gripping prologue introducing Barbara Gordon’s heroic adventures alongside Batman as Batgirl, Batman: The Killing Joke stays true to the authentic tale that has held fans’ imaginations for nearly three decades – spotlighting the birth of a Super-Villain, the fortitude of a Super Hero and the punchline that will leave you speechless. 

The celebrity-laden cast is led by Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise) as they reprise their seminal roles as the voices of Batman/Bruce Wayne and The Joker, respectively. The cast also features Tara Strong (Teen Titans; Batman: Arkham games), as Barbara Gordon and Ray Wise (Twin Peaks, RoboCop) as Commissioner Gordon.

Batman: The Killing Joke is seen by many as the definitive Batman and Joker story. So perhaps it’s fitting that two of the most definitive actors to ever voice the roles are returning for its animated adaptation. In this DC All Access animation clip, we talk to Kevin Conroy about voicing Batman in the highly anticipated, R-rated film based on the acclaimed one-shot. How does he feel about bringing this particularly dark tale of the Dark Knight to life?

Roland Emmerich Slams Superman, DC & Marvel Movies Again

Once again, Independence Day director Roland Emmerich slams comic book movies with specific mention of DC, Marvel and Superman.

Emmerich goes so far as to claim the comic book movies have been ripping him off (via Loaded Online).

“I felt that when I saw some of these Marvel movies, or DC movies from Warners, I felt, ‘Oh my, God, that looks familiar to me. Why is Superman bashing so many buildings?'”

“I was actually warned already by Steven Spielberg that this will happen. He said Independence Day will be the most imitated film of the next 20 years, and he was right. Smart man.

Emmerich also is asked if he would be interested in directing a comic book movie and responds as follows:

“Very early in my career I was offered one or two of those, but it’s not my kind of film. I grew up in Germany and we weren’t big on superheroes to begin with. Actually, they didn’t work as well as everywhere else in the world. Only now they work very well. I just also felt that I wanted to make my own films. I pride myself to make originals. Even Independence Day: Resurgence is, I think, quite original for a sequel because it’s more the continuation of the story.”

Emmerich also previously said he doesn’t like capes.

Independence Day: Resurgence opened this week in theaters at #2 behind Finding Dory and is currently rated 34% on Rotten Tomatoes.

DeMark Thompson Still Eyeing Green Lantern Role

DeMark Thompson, known for The Hunger Games, is still eyeing a Green Lantern role.

Last September saw Thompson release a Green Lantern teaser to show that he’s willing to take the oath (watch below).

Now DeMark Thompson has been active again on Instagram as the actor regularly posts images using the hashtag “#greenlantern.”

“I’m still in it for the role of John Stewart aka The Green Lantern,” Thompson posted.

It’s unknown when Green Lantern will first appear in the DCEU. To date, there hasn’t been anything official or teased to suggest a Green Lantern could show up in Justice League, but WB did announce a Green Lantern Corps movie thought to have a 2020 release date.

WB did also reveal Green Lantern concept art at last year’s Comic-Con, and most recently at the Licensing Expo saw WB release a new Green Lantern Corps logo.

Gareth Edwards & Kathleen Kennedy Respond to Star Wars: Rogue One Rumors

In addition to all the character info and images revealed for Star Wars: Rogue One, director Gareth Edwards and Disney’s Kathleen Kennedy now respond to the reshoot rumors.

EW.com is also once again stating everything is A-OK (“[just]…needed to punch up its emotion and action beats.”)

Edwards and Kennedy had the following to say to calm the masses:

Edwards:

“I mean it was always part of the plan to do reshoots. We always knew we were coming back somewhere to do stuff. We just didn’t know what it would be until we started sculpting the film in the edit. There’s lots of little things that we have to get, but it’s all little things within the preexisting footage. Obviously, you’ve got to work around everyone’s schedule, and everyone’s on different films all over the world, and so it’s a bit of a logistical nightmare. That’s why I think it’s been blown out of proportion a little bit.

“It’s funny, making a film stops you believing anything you’ve ever read on the Internet.”

“I’d definitely describe it as: It’s got dark tone. The studio has been very supportive of that. I mean, the sort of tone we were going for when we started was the tone you have in films like The Empire Strikes Back. And that’s not in any way been compromised.”

Kennedy:

“There’s nothing about the story that’s changing, with a few things that we’re picking up in additional photography. I think that’s the most important thing, to reassure fans that it’s the movie we intended to make.”

“Star Wars: Rogue One” has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One, and Riz Ahmed.

Synopsis:

Rogue One tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star.

David Ayer Teases ARGUS; Says Suicide Squad Is A Beast

Director David Ayer has taken to Twitter to offer a tease that ARGUS is involved with the Suicide Squad movie.

Ayer tweeted out an image used for the movie of a government manual which features the ARGUS logo.

ARGUS is a part of Homeland Security that deals with the metahuman threats.

David Ayer also tweeted out that Suicide Squad is officially finished.

“Squad is completed! Finished final mix and coloring. Now it’s off to the lab and then the world. Nothing like it out there. It.Is.a.Beast,” Ayer said.

Earlier also saw it reported that Suicide Squad has a run-time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. After seemingly confirming the run-time with a retweet, David Ayer followed up the tweet stating the reported run-time is inaccurate. 

WB has also launched a new Suicide Squad viral site where fans can create their own skulls. Head on over to squadyourself.suicidesquad.com to check it out.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Synopsis:

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Marvel and Fox Talks Rumored Again (Avengers & X-Men)

Once again it’s being said that Marvel and Fox could potentially come to an understanding.

It’s been rumored that an Avengers and X-Men movie is in the works for quite a while now.

Even the X-Men execs have stated they are interested in working with Marvel.

Now the latest comes from a producer on Kevin Smith’s Fatman on Batman podcast, Matt Key.

Matt Key doesn’t go so far as to make claims that an Avengers and X-Men movie is happening, but he does at least say there has been talk at Fox about hooking up with Marvel.

“I’ve heard from a few of my sources, my little birds that Fox and Marvel have… kind of talked, but not really, but like there’s interest from Fox, like, ‘Ooh, y’know, what they did with Sony and Spider-Man is actually pretty cool, like, maybe…’ We’re years away from that ever possibly happening… but I think that’s what it would take… Fox joining hands with Marvel…”

If Spider-Man: Homecoming happens to be a billion dollar success, that may give Fox further incentive to work with Marvel.

As noted, if it ever does happen, it looks to be years off.

However, the Avengers and X-Men movie rumor did state 2020, so that’s at least four years away.

Bokeem Woodbine Cast As Another Spider-Man: Homecoming Villain

By my count this makes three, possibly four, potential villains for Spider-Man: Homecoming.

THR reports Bokeem Woodbine has been cast as another bad guy, though the role is unknown.

Michael Keaton has already been said to be playing Vulture, with Logan Marshall-Green said to be a secondary villain.

Better Call Saul‘s Michael Mando may be playing some sort of villain as well.

While shades of Spider-Man 3 come to mind, bear in mind some of these villains could simply be “bad guys,” meaning drug lords or burglars and not necessarily super villains.

It’s also possible they could be setting up super villains down the road (Sinister Six?), with the actors playing their alter-ego in Spider-Man: Homecoming (i.e. Norman Osborn; then a later movie sees Green Golbin).

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts also starring Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Michael Barbieri, Kenneth Choi, Martin Starr, Donald Glover, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and JJ Totah.

Michael Mando Rumored For Carnage In Spider-Man: Homecoming

Almost two years ago saw a Venom and Carnage movie rumored for 2017.

Obviously things have changed with Spider-Man back at Marvel, but now it’s being suggested that Carnage may be a part of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Better Call Saul actor Michael Mando has recently been cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming in an unknown role.

What’s interesting is that the official Better Caul Saul twitter account tweeted out a congratulations to Michael Mando with the following (via reddit):

“Mando Michael is spectacular at bringing carnage to life in Better Call Saul,” the tweet reads.

Obviously the social media managers of Better Call Saul could simply be Spider-Man fans themselves, but it is possible they could be teasing something more, namely Cletus Kasady, the other half of Carnage.

Perhaps Michael Mando will be appearing as Cletus Kasady (or some version of the character) in Spider-Man: Homecoming?

Head of Sony movies, Tom Rothman, recently confirmed they are building a Spider-Man universe and also have further plans to work with Marvel.

Eventually, they will have to introduce new characters and we have yet to see Carnage on the big screen.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts also starring Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Michael Barbieri, Kenneth Choi, Martin Starr, Donald Glover, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and JJ Totah.

X-Men: Apocalypse Concept Art Revealed

Check out concept art below for the villain of X-Men: Apocalypse.

I thought Oscar Isaac’s makeup as Apocalypse looked pretty bad, but this concept art by Jerad S. Marantz is at least a step in the right direction.

“Early costume concept art for Apocalypse for X Men Apocalypse for costume designer Louise Mingenbac,” Marantz posted. “This guy was on my bucket list. He’s one of my all time favorite Marvel villains.”

A different special effects artist that worked on the film revealed they unfortunately passed on his version, which was spot on with the comic book look. What could have been.

“X-Men: Apocalypse” is directed by Bryan Singer starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Helman, Lana Condor & Ben Hardy.

Synopsis:

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

New Jared Leto Joker Image For Suicide Squad

Check out the new Jared Leto Joker image below from the Suicide Squad movie, which also features Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn.

Viola Davis, who plays Amanda Waller, also recently told EOnline she wanted to pepper spray Leto after he sent her a box of bullets.

We all got gifts from Jared. I got bullets, in a box. Before that I was only introduced to The Joker. There was a part of me that wanted to say, and have my pepper spray out, you remember that bullet you sent me? He was completely committed. It was a little worrisome,. It made you a little bit nervous and I’m pretty tough. You know I got into a few fights when I was growing up…but it scared me a little bit. Every single person gets to be completely insane because all the characters are insane. They’re bad guys, we’re all bad guys.”
