Ben Affleck Open To Directing Solo Batman Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22593:]]

With Ben Affleck starring as the new Dark Knight in Batman Vs. Superman, it’s been rumored the actor has been signed on for three Batman movies which will also see him direct. The latest issue of Total Film Magazine has a featured article in which Affleck and producer Charles Roven comment on the potential of Affleck taking the gig.

“He’s got a busy schedule,” Roven said. “He’s about to start a movie now [Live By Night]. And he’s also got obligations to be in the Justice League movies. The calendar is a little tricky. Of course, the script obviously has to be worthy of him wanting to direct. And once that happens, it’s still got to fit into the calendar. We’re hoping we can make it happen. We’re just at the beginning of the question.”

Affleck offered his take: “Look, if I could make it work, yeah. Obviously, it would be like a dream, The trick is, as to any movie, is to make sure that you – if you’re going to direct it – that you can make it good. You’ve got to have the right idea and the right take on it. Broadly speaking, it’s something I’d be open to, for sure. It’s a very exciting idea.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22594:]]

“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 as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

David Goyer Has Seen Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

In addition to letting it be known the SyFy Krypton TV series will connect to Man of Steel, David Goyer also offers his reaction to having seen Batman Vs. Superman.

“Yes, I’ve seen it,” Goyer confirmed, who helped write and is an executive producer on Batman Vs. Superman. “I think just a kind of giddiness at being a kid that grew up going to the comic book store every Saturday and reading comic books in which these two epic characters clash… Just the fact that I got to be involved in something like that is crazy. Much less I got to be involved in two cinematic iterations of Batman is also crazy.”

Goyer is also asked if Batman Vs. Superman exceeded his expectations more than Man of Steel, which he also wrote.

“There’s some cool stuff that happens in the film. Let’s just leave it at 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 as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.

Watch: Zack Snyder Talks Batmobile In Batman Vs. Superman

Yesterday saw Batman co-creator Bob Kane get a Hollywood star with Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder in attendance who brought the new Batmobile. IGN caught up with Snyder to get his take on the new Dark Knight ride.

“The new Batmobile is super fast. It’s purpose-built, which I like,” Snyder said. “We imagine that Batman built it over time with parts from Wayne Industries or something. He’s made it specifically for the job of fighting crime.” 

Snyder also offers up the Batmobile may do new things that haven’t been seen before by its predecessors.

“Yeah, I think you will. I’m not gonna give it away, but it does a lot of cool stuff in the movie…”

Watch: Mark Hamill Pitches Evil Luke Skywalker

Check out video above featuring Mark Hamill telling the story about how he pitched Luke Skywalker going to the Dark Side to George Lucas following Empire Strikes Back.

The video recently surfaced from ten years ago when Hamill appeared on Jon Favreau’s Dinner for Five series, which interestingly enough also has JJ Abrams as a guest.

Some fans are speculating Abrams may have turned Luke to the Dark Side in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

“As an actor, that would be more fun to play,” Hamill noted about an evil Luke. “When we finished [Episode II], I figured that’s what will be the pivotal moment. I’ll have Han Solo in my crosshairs, and I’ll be about to kill him, or the Princess, or somebody that we care about.” 

Hamill also offered up some details on how his evil Luke would look like, which seems what Lucas may have borrowed from for Anakin’s own look in the prequels (via vulture).

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” hits December 18th.

Zack Snyder Says Ben Affleck Isn’t The Batman He First Imagined (Video)

The co-creator of Batman, Bob Kane, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder in attendance, DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee and more.

Kane created Batman back in 1939 along with Bill Finger, who for the first time this week received credit for creating the Caped Crusader in the DC Comics.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22578:]]

Regarding Zack Snyder, he spoke about Ben Affleck wearing the Batsuit for the first time offering Affleck wasn’t his first choice as the Dark Knight. Here’s the text (via CBM):

I just wanted to first say that it’s an honor to be able to speak here at the dedication of [Bob Kane’s] star as it’s an amazing achievement, and it’s great that we’re all recognizing him because he’s given us an amazing gift wth Batman.

Recently, I got to make this film Batman v Superman, and in the process, I had to design a Batman character. I had to do a suit. “I don’t know if you know anything about the process, but what you do is over months of meticulous designing and editing, you come to an aesthetic you believe will be the Batman you want to see. Along with my costume designer Michael Wilkinson, we did just that and we came to the point where we were going to test the suit on Ben [Affleck]. So, we had built a set of an alley, graffiti, barrels with fire, steamy stuff, and it was this very kind of noir-ish setting to film our Batman for the first time. Ben put the suit on, and we put him in front of the camera, and I was just having him turn and look around looking Batman-ish, and it was amazing because I felt in that moment that I had achieved this goal that I had set out for myself. When I looked at Ben, he was the perfect personification of the Batman I had in my mind.

The truth is, he wasn’t really the Batman I had imagined. Bob really had put him there in my mind, through years of TV shows, comic books, movies. I realized that we all – every single one of us – has a Batman, an imaginary Batman, in our minds, lurking in the shadows. That’s Bob’s legacy.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens May Open With Over $600 Million


Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer #3
 

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens crashing web servers and shattering ticket sales, it’s being speculated the opening weekend for the film will be strong with The Force.

Predictions are coming in that Star Wars: The Force Awakens may bring in $600 million or higher for its opening weekend, which would topple this Summer’s Jurassic World debut of $524 million.

THR reports some film industry analysts expect Star Wars: The Force Awakens to net $300 million in the U.S. with another $300 million internationally. It’s also expected that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will open big in China, which has become a force in its own right among ticket sales, as Disney recently started a huge campaign with a Star Wars Great Wall of China promotion (the Chinese release date is yet to be announced).

It’s also being reported that Star Wars: The Force Awakens tickets have been sold on eBay for upwards of $1500, but AMC Theaters notes opening day tickets are still available and screenings will be held around the clock. In addition, the report mentions that many IMAX theaters were only selling tickets for the first four days in order to make enough tickets available closer to the release date.

Ticket sales for Star Wars: The Force Awakens recently crashed Fandango as the site sold eight times as many tickets as it did for the previous record-holder, which was held by The Hunger Games.

And in case you are wondering, the all-time box office gross is held by Avatar at $2.788 billion.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22573:]]

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Fan Theory Says Christian Bale In Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22570:]]

Now this is one batsh-t insane theory for Batman Vs. Superman, but it’s a heck of an entertaining one, and seeing how the guy put in a lot of effort and time into coming up with it, I think it’s at least worth a mention.

The theory comes from a Brazilan site totalspoiler.com (via moviepilot) that – long story short – says Man of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman continue the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. Yes, that means the two movies are set within the Nolan universe with Christian Bale still being the Batman.

The theory states Ben Affleck is NOT playing Bruce Wayne — he’s actually Deathstroke Slade Wilson. It’s theorized that Jeremy Irons is NOT playing Alfred, but Deathstroke’s own butler, William Randolph Wintergreen. It’s further theorized that Jared Leto is actually playing Robin John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises (just that the character has been recast from Joseph Gordon Levitt, which is similar to what happened with Rachel Dawes). It’s also said Jenna Malone is playing Deathstroke’s daughter, Rose Wilson.

The guy goes over a ton of “evidence” to support his theory ranging from the “v” in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actually stands for the Roman Numeral five — meaning Batman v Superman is actually the FIFTH of the Nolan movies (Man of Steel being the fourth) to the fact that the letters of “John Blake” add up to “joke.”

Scenes from the Batman Vs. Superman trailer are also used to back up the claims of Ben Affleck as Deathstroke as the guy thinks the look of Batman in the movie references when Deathstroke was Batman in the comics (Outsiders vol 3 #22). 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22568:]]

A rather interesting piece of evidence is also pointed out as in the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game Deathstroke says a similar line to what Batman told Superman in the trailer: “I will make you bleed.” The end of the BvS trailer has Batman stating, “Do you bleed? You will.”

Obviously, this outlandish theory may prove false, but the guy does put put forth the rather smart-sounding argument that Batman v Superman is being used to create a second “Batman-caliber” character on the big screen with Deathstroke, described as becoming similar in popularity with what Marvel did for Iron Man. 

So if Ben Affleck is playing Deathstroke, the theory goes that Christian Bale will be appearing at the end of Batman Vs. Superman (forming the Justice League?) and will appear in the Justice League Part 1 and Part 2 movies, with Affleck also appearing as Deathstoke in Suicide Squad.

Sound crazy?

Joining the Pink Ranger, now the Red Ranger has been cast in the Power Rangers movie.

Dacre Montgomery is thought to be playing Jason (official character names have yet to be announced), who in the past has been the leader of the group. Below you can check out the official announcement from Power Ranger Instagram account.

The character of Jason has been described as: “the makings of someone or something great if he would just get out of his own way. Jason was a legend of this town—a freshman quarterback with the skills to take him all the way. People knew his name. Children wore his jersey. Until, one night Jason wrapped his car around a pole and busted out his knee. Everything Jason was going to become ended in an instant. And with it, he lost himself. When we meet him at the start of the film, he’s a kid in need of redemption. By the end, he’ll be leading this disparate group of teens to shed their individual baggage and find who they truly are.”

The new Power Rangers movie has a January 13, 2017 release directed by Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) with Power Rangers creator, HaimSaban, producing the film.

Amy Adams & Scott McNairy Weigh In On Batman Vs. Superman


Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer

We’re about five months away from big debut of Batman Vs. Superman which will launch the Justice League-shared universe as the DC Trinity will be seen together on the big screen.

Warner Bros. has yet to release a new trailer, but a LexCorp viral campaign has started and details about what’s not in the movie have trickled out.

Now both Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy weigh in on the film offering Batman Vs. Superman is both humorous and serious at the same time.

Adams, who will be reprising as Lois Lane from Man of Steel, tells THR:  “I can’t give too much away, but I’m coming into a scene and Batman and Superman are both in the scene, so I can say that. And it was just fun. Because they had been working together for a couple weeks and just running it, seeing this dynamic. I’ll talk about this when we’re promoting the movie and we can tell more. But there were definitely funny moments involving bat-suits and such.”

McNairy, whose own role is shrouded in secrecy (yet may have been revealed in a fan-theory), stated in a recent press event (picked up by We Got This Covered): “This is the superhero film that is more grounded in reality than any of the other ones. It’s a comic book movie, yes, but it’s very, very grounded.”

“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 as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
