Ezra Miller Confirmed For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21943:]]

Cosmic Book News was the first to tell you members of the Justice League would be appearing in Batman Vs. Superman.

In addition to Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, it’s now confirmed Ezra Miller, the DCCU version of The Flash, will be featured in Dawn of Justice.

The DCEU Twitter feed reveals Ezra Miller told a fan that Barry Allen’s hair will be kept longer for Batman Vs. Superman; his Flash suit is described as having a post-apocalyptic look to it, and Ezra hinted he will have more of a slender ripped physique rather than a bulky muscular look for The Flash.

In addition to Batman Vs. Superman, Ezra Miller will be appearing in Justice League and the standalone The Flash movie, which is slated for a 2018 release.

Check out the tweet:

Machinima Busted For Fake Reviews

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21942:]]

Can’t say I’m surprised by this news… More on that later.

The Federal Trade Commission has settled charges with the YouTube channel Machinima, which was accused of posting fake paid for reviews endorsing the XBox One without revealing they had been paid.

Machinima must stop similar “deceptive” video review practices immediately and must reveal when they are getting paid for posting videos.

Two of Machinima’s “influencers” were paid as much as $45,000 between the two for endorsing XBox One in their videos; however, none of these “influencers” revealed they had been paid. It’s also said additional “influencers” were getting paid as much as a dollar per 1,000 views on YouTube. Machinima currently has over 12.6 million subscribers.

“When people see a product touted online, they have a right to know whether they’re looking at an authentic opinion or a paid marketing pitch,” Jessica Rich, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a released statement. “That’s true whether the endorsement appears in a video or any other media.”

The fault looks to be on the side of a marketing agency that works with Microsoft, as Microsoft received no blame for the incidents.

Regarding my thoughts on not being surprised by this news, I’ve experienced this first hand in more than one way. I can recall an incident with an animated movie studio who offered to send advance review copies: We posted a slightly negative review about their latest animated movie, and then never received any review copies. I also know of comic publisher/s paying people to write comic reviews and interviews, and also have long suspected certain sites write positive reviews in exchange for exclusives. Well, here at Cosmic Book News, I can guarantee you are getting an honest opinion — even if it costs us “freebies,” “exclusives,” press material and party invites – as we aren’t spinning anything in favor of anyone (and that’s why we take a hard stance on a variety of topics).

Steven Spielberg Thinks Superhero Movies Popularity Will Come To An End

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21935:]]

Are superhero movies doomed?

If we go by Steven Spielberg’s recent statements, comic book movies are to go the way of the Western.

“We were around when the Western died and there will be a time when the superhero movie goes the way of the Western. It doesn’t mean there won’t be another occasion where the Western comes back and the superhero movie someday returns,” Spielberg told the AP, reports Yahoo.

Spielberg goes on to explain his thoughts in that he thinks super hero movies are part of a cycle, and that someone will eventually come up with something new.

“Of course, right now the superhero movie is alive and thriving. I’m only saying that these cycles have a finite time in popular culture,” Spielberg offered. “There will come a day when the mythological stories are supplanted by some other genre that possibly some young filmmaker is just thinking about discovering for all of us.”

Spielberg also previously said he feels Hollywood is headed toward an “implosion” because of the over-abundance of mega-budget movies, in which he still feels the same way.

“I do. I still feel that way,” Spielberg said.

Speaking of mega-budget movies, Spielberg was executive producer on the blockbuster Jurassic World, which had a $150 million budget of its own, and with the success of the Marvel movies, and most likely the DC movies, it doesn’t seem as if the superhero doomsday is coming any time soon.

Up next for Spielberg is the adaptation of Ready Player One in which he will direct for WB.

Bendis, Quesada & Creative Committee Booted From Marvel Studios

I’m lovin’ Kevin Feige more and more…

It was recently reported by THR that Kevin Feige had moved Marvel Studios away from the creative control of Marvel CEO billionaire Ike Perlmutter, who has been said to be responsible for a host of problems.

Now it’s being said Feige has apparently gotten rid of the Marvel Creative Committee that was made up of Marvel Comics executives and writers such as comic scribe Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Buckley, publisher of Marvel Comics, and Joe Quesada, former editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics and the current Chief Creative Officer of Marvel.

According to BirthMoviesDeath, similar to Perlmutter, the Creative Committee caused frustration amongst the Marvel movies with an example given of Edgar Wright and Ant-Man. It’s noted the Committee was often late with their suggestions, with it said filmmakers considered them to be a pain to deal with.

It’s also stated the Marvel Committee may continue on with Marvel TV, which stays under Perlmutter (as does the comics, unfortunately), with it also suggested the Committee may be completely finished altogether. If indeed the Committee does stay with Marvel TV, this further exemplifies my thoughts that Feige wants to move Marvel Studios away from the lackluster attempts from Marvel TV and Jeph Loeb, which includes the animated series and ABC shows (Netflix series are under Marvel TV as well, but honestly I wasn’t impressed with Daredevil at all, and up next is Bendis’ Jessica Jones).

The report also makes mention following Captain America: Civil War and most likely Doctor Strange, Marvel’s Phase 3 should be off to smooth sailing as Perlmutter and the Marvel Creative Committee will not be involved. It’s even possible we may finally get more Black Widow merchandise, as it’s noted (and known through leaked e-mails) that Perlmutter was behind not supporting female characters.

I’ll also add in Brian Bendis took over the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book from Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning when news of the movie getting green lit became known. Marvel Comics fired Abnett and Lanning off of the book when they knew the movie was getting made. I’ve even been told by somebody who worked at Marvel that Bendis didn’t like all the fan attention DnA were getting from their Cosmic line. Kudos to Kevin Feige and James Gunn for crediting DnA for inspiring the billion dollar Disney franchise. We also can’t forget that Jeph Loeb had a hand in cancelling DnA’s Marvel Cosmic line (as well as Axel Alonso, Tom Brevoort and Stephen Wacker) as the 2007 Richard Rider Nova series was cancelled with Loeb launching a new character under the name, which has consistently sold less than the Abnett and Lanning version.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate London Horizon Trailer

Watch a new trailer above for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which goes on sale October 23rd for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Info:

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec in collaboration with eight other Ubisoft studios, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is an epic single player experience set in London during the height of the Industrial Revolution, an incredible age of invention that transforms the lives of millions. During this time, the gap between the poor and the rich expands exponentially, making workers’ lives little more than legalised slavery. The lower classes fight for survival by forming a new kind of family – gangs – and adapting to life in the criminal underworld. Players will embody both Jacob Frye and Evie Frye, twin Assassins raised to follow the Creed. Jacob, a determined, hot-headed and rebellious leader of an underground gang, is vastly different than his sister Evie, a master of stealth and control. Together, Jacob and Evie team up to challenge rivals, plutocrats and Templars alike to free the masses from poverty and corruption, and, ultimately, wrestle back control of London.

In Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, players explore the largest, most modern open-world city ever created in an Assassin’s Creed game. The fighting is more brutal than ever, as players combat rival gangs and grow their sphere of influence throughout London using new weapons, including brass knuckles, a kukri knife, a revolver and the Assassin’s gauntlet. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate also includes innovative navigation and transportation throughout the open world, including a rope launcher for scaling tall Victorian buildings, zip-lining from rooftop to rooftop or performing aerial assassinations, and horse-drawn carriages and high-speed trains for free-running, tracking down enemies or escaping after daring raids.

Key Features:
– Put up your dukes and play as the first gangster assassin at the birth of the modern age, Jacob Frye. Unleash your arsenal of weapons, including the kukri knife, brass knuckles, and sword cane in brutal combat and utilize the brand new rope launcher to scale buildings in seconds or take your enemies by surprise.

– From Buckingham Palace to Big Ben, fight and triumph across the fast-paced open world of Industrial London using high speed trains and carriages.

– Establish Great Britain’s fiercest gang, the only force that can challenge the elite and defeat rival gangs to bring freedom to the oppressed masses

– Also play as Jacob’s twin sister Evie, a relentless Assassin who has perfected the silent, swift, invisible strike.

Kevin Feige Breaks Free Of Marvel’s Ike Perlmutter & Marvel TV

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21912:]]

We get some very good news regarding the future of Marvel Studios in that it’s being reported Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige will no longer have to report directly to Marvel CEO billionaire Ike Perlmutter.

THR reports that Feige will now report to Disney chairman Alan Horn.

It’s said following “several years of frustration,” Feige recently “vented his unhappiness to Horn and Disney CEO Bob Iger earlier this summer.”

Regarding the frustration, there have been numerous reports that Perlmutter has been stingy with the cast of the Marvel movies, with most notably Robert Downey Jr. It was once reported that Perlmutter wanted Robert Downey Jr. written out of Captain America: Civil War; however, it was said Feige smoothed things over. A while back there was also reports that Perlmutter was responsible for tensions between Marvel and the cast of the Avengers, with Robert Downey Jr. backing his fellow Assemblers in getting them re-signed and paid what they were owed.

Perlmutter also seemed to be the one holding up Marvel Studios from creating standalone female movies as leaked e-mails revealed he felt they wouldn’t work.

Perlmutter is also said to be behind the tensions between Marvel and Fox Studios, as the eccentric billionaire ordered no merchandise to be developed for the various Fox-licensed movies (Marvel owns merchandise rights) with X-Men and Fantastic Four and also cancelled their respective comic books. With Perlmutter now out of the Marvel Studios equation, those earlier Avengers X-Men movie rumors are now rather interesting.

The report also makes mention that Marvel TV will still report to Perlmutter. That’s rather interesting as, at least in my opinion, everything Marvel TV has recently done under Jeph Loeb has been rather horrible, which includes cancelling the popular Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon for Avengers Assemble, relaunching the goofy Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, and the lackluster attempts at the ABC shows with Agents Of SHIELD and Agent Carter. With Loeb reporting to Perlmutter and Feige reporting to Horn, we see there appears to be some distance and a gap created between the movies and TV, which is a good thing considering TV’s poor attempts at the Marvel brand (again, in my opinion).

A Disney spokesperson released the following statement:

“Marvel Studios is taking the next logical step in its integration with The Walt Disney Studios, joining Pixar and Lucasfilm in centralizing many of its film-related functions in Burbank, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co-president;Louis D’Esposito continuing to lead the Marvel Studios team reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn.”

According to the article, an insider says “Feige has earned the opportunity to break free from Perlmutter, who is not only controlling, but also obsessed with thrift.”

“Everybody knows Ike is difficult,” the source said. “This has been a long time coming. Kevin has grown his entire career under Ike and now it just makes sense.”

Sorry comic fans, but it’s also stated in addition to Marvel TV, Perlmutter will “maintain oversight of publishing, animation and other New York-based operations.”

Michael Shannon Clears Up Flipper Hands In Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21911:]]

Almost two weeks ago saw Michael Shannon make mention that he is appearing in costume in Batman Vs. Superman with “flipper hands” which set the internet on fire.

Speculation immediately went to Michaelon Shannon playing Doomsday or maybe even some form of Bizarro.

However, now Michael Shannon clears the air by stating he was just making things up.

“I wasn’t there,” Shannon told the Daily Beast. “It’s a really awkward situation—I’m in the trailer for a movie that I didn’t work on.”

Shannon does confirm his voice will appear in Batman Vs. Superman and compares it to something similar to what happened with Jor-El appearing as a AI-ghost later on in Man of Steel.

“I went over and did some voice-over stuff because it’s like that ghost thing. But I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that. I get very nervous,” Shannon offered.

Regarding the flippers Shannon mentioned in a previous interview, the actor states he can’t actually believe people took his answer as being serious.

“Somebody was asking me about this in New York and I made up some ridiculous bullshit answer about how my character Zod has flippers, and this went viral on the Internet or something and people have been asking me about that,” Shannon said with a “baffled” smile. “That is so obviously a complete bullshit story, right? But people took it seriously.”

Shannon does continue, with interstingly enough mention of Doomsday, offering he would come back even if he actually wore some sort of flipper appendages.

“Maybe they should add it, I don’t know! Maybe in Part 3, Doomsday will have flipper hands. I mean, look—nothing would make me happier than to work with Zack [Snyder] again, he’s hysterical and he’s a lot of fun to work with,” Shannon said.

Watch: New Trailer For Knock Knock Starring Keanu Reeves

A new trailer has been released for Knock Knock, the upcoming erotic sex horror thriller from director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, Hemlock Grove) and Lionsgate, which stars Keanu Reeves.

The film has an October 9, 2015 release also starring Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas.

Warning: Trailer contains graphic content.

Knock Knock synopsis:

Evan Webber (Keanu Reeves) is living the dream. Just look at his beautiful, successful wife, his two wonderful kids, and his truly stunning house—which he designed himself. Of course he did. Things are going so well, Evan doesn’t even mind spending Father’s Day alone while the rest of his family heads out for a beach weekend. And then there’s a knock on the door.

The two young women (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) standing on Evan’s doorstep are where Evan’s dream takes a nightmarish turn. Given co-writer/director Eli Roth’s well-deserved reputation for creating cinematic discomfort, it should come as no surprise what happens next: Things get weird, and then dark, and then much, much, much darker. But this is no splatter film, so Roth keeps the horror nice and psychological as Evan’s life—and house—get ripped apart, piece by beautiful piece.

Watch: Green Lantern Corps Trailer With Idris Elba & Garrett Hedlund (Fan-Made)

The Alex Luthor YouTube channel is back with another cool video as this time a Green Lanter Corps trailer is presented featuring Idris Elba and Garret Hedlud.

The trailer uses footage from Green Lantern, TRON: Legacy, Pacific Rim, John Carter and more, and looks pretty good.

We still have a while to wait for Green Lantern Corps, as the movie is set to be released in 2020, but perhaps we won’t have to wait that long as it’s possible a Green Lantern may be featured in the Justice League movie, which hits in 2017.

About a year ago saw Idris Elba comment on Green Lantern John Stewart fan art of himself stating he loves the idea.

Idris Elba is currently filming Star Trek Beyond; Garret Hedlund is featured in Pan with Hugh Jackman and was set to reprise for the third Tron movie, but Disney recently abruptly cancelled the project.
