Comic-Con: Ron Perlman Says He Wants Hellboy 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21301:]]

Ron Perlman has been teasing fans on social networks with mention of Hellboy 3.

Now while attending the Comic-Con panel for the Amazon series Hand Of God, Perlman lets it be known he definitely wants to complete the Trilogy.

“If there’s a real honesty to fan-culture relationships, we owe the world the finale of Hellboy,” Perlman told the audience, reports Deadline. “We set up the whole film. It’s a deal we made (with fans). I don’t want to do Hellboy IV or V. I want to finish the f-cking trilogy!”

Perlman also acknolwedged his first tweet wasn’t a confirmation of Hellboy 3 as he had to “call studio executives to apologize,” but Perlman did note there’s been some talk with the Hellboy‘s director Guillermo del Toro, but nothing concrete.

Perlman offered the direction he thought Hellboy 3 should go with his character becoming the beast of the Apocalypse so that he can vanquish the foe in the third film — in order to defend humanity, Hellboy has to become a darker character.

Watch: Joe Quesada Says The Spider-Man Costume Is Awesome

Check out video above of Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada talking about his job at Marvel as well as Spider-Man.

Quesada says he has seen the new Spider-Man costume, which will be worn by Tom Holland.

“It’s awesome,” Quesada said. “It looks awesome.

“I’ve seen a lot of design work that’s been done on the costume. I think there are elements of it that are really going to blow people away where they are going to go ‘that’s Marvel doing Spider-Man,” Quesada said.

Quesada wouldn’t confirm if the costume is a new or traditional approach to the Spider-Man look or if Holland will use web-shooters.

“You’re trying to trick me. It’s not going to work. I’ve played this game before,” Quesada laughed. “Things will be revealed as they are meant to be revealed.”

Joe Quesada continued with mention of how exciting it is to have Spider-Man back in the MCU.

“It’s Spider-Man. What’s not exciting about that? I can’t imagine there’s a person on the planet Earth that can’t relate to some aspect of Spider-Man or Peter Parker, and he is for all intents and purposes, he is Marvel’s Mickey Mouse. He is the icon of so much of what we have was built upon, so to create that movie along with our Sony partners it’s phenomenally exciting. I know Kevin Feige and his team have some great ideas. Some wonderful theories that we’ve all chimed in on.”

The new Spider-Man movie has a July 28, 2017 release and is expected to first appear in “Captain America: Civil War” next May.

Watch: Nicole Perlman Talks Guardians of the Galaxy & Captain Marvel

Check out video above of Nicole Perlman talking Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Perlman is on board writing the Captain Marvel movie in which she says it’s currently in the brainstorming stage.

Regarding Guardians of the Galaxy, Perlman recounts how she got involved with writing the first version of the script. Perlman was a part of a Marvel writing program back in 2009 in which Marvel told the writers to develop lesser known properties.

A new Gamora comic book series is also in the works from Perlman which is set prior to Gamora joining the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

Here are some highlights:

They gave us a list of lesser known properties and said ‘choose one of these and you will be developing it for a couple of years by yourself.’ So we said ‘okay’ and everybody chose one. The one I chose was Guardians, which I got a lot of funny looks about because it was the least well known property on the list. 

I was originally drawn to the first group of Guardians. I thought there’s something really cool about Vance Astro and the whole idea about being temporally dislocated, but I loved the 2008 Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning reboot of the series. It just had so much color and sarcasm, and that was something that the producers were excited about as well.

I tried a lot of different versions of which Guardians to include in the story, but the ones that ended up in the movie are the ones that we decided fulfilled all the best parts of that team. We’re encapsulated by those guys.

Rocket Raccoon was a late addition. I’m really glad we put him in. He was very much on the fence for a while. I loved him, and Kevin loved him. There was some back and forth, and he made it in. Thank goodness.

With Quill we changed his backstory fairly significantly because we didn’t want him to start out too noble at the beginning and be doing this for noble reasons. We wanted him to be a bit of a scoundrel.

Info:

Interactive Entertainment revealed today at San Diego Comic-Con details about Doctor Who in LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that allows players to expand their imaginations beyond traditional gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay.  Peter Capaldi, who plays the 12th Doctor, Jenna Coleman, who plays Clara Oswald, and Michelle Gomez, who plays Missy, will voice their respective characters from the long running British science fiction television series in LEGO Dimensions.

In a new trailer giving the first look at the Doctor Who gameplay, worlds collide in ways only possible in LEGO Dimensions, such as the TARDIS popping up in Gotham City and Hill Valley, the Doctor battling alongside Homer Simpson in Aperture Science, riding a haunted mine car with Scooby and Shaggy, or fighting alongside Kai and Cragger in a Ninjago battle arena. 

Doctor Who, which has never before been in a LEGO videogame, will be playable in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack with a complete Doctor Who level where the game’s heroes continue their quest while encountering Daleks, Cybermen and other adversaries from the Whoniverse.

There will also be a Doctor Who Fun Pack, which includes a playable Cyberman minifigure and Dalek model which can be physically built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three different objects.

Launching September 27th 2015, LEGO Dimensions will be available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems and Nintendo Wii U system.

Halle Berry Wants A Storm Movie & Watch Extant Comic-Con Trailer

Watch the Comic-Con trailer for Extant above, which stars Halle Berry.

Berry also fielded a question in regards to doing a Storm movie, in which she told Comic-Con attendees she would be all up for it.

“Absolutely,” Berry replied when asked about a potential Storm movie. “Fans have to tell Fox that that’s what they want to have happen!”

Halle Berry played Storm three times in the X-Men movies, and with there already being standalone movies for Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit, it’s possible something could be done down the road with Storm; however, whether Halle Berry is still involved remains to be seen as Bryan Singer recently hinted at an X-Men reboot.

Wesley Snipes Would Do Another Blade

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21292:]]

Wesley Snipes is currently at Comic-Con for his new TV series The Player where the actor also let it be known he is interested in doing another Blade movie.

Deadline spoke with Snipes who stated there have been talks.

The project is controlled by Marvel and we did have a really productive and a wonderful meeting and we discussed a number of things. I don’t know where it’s on their schedule at this point, that hasn’t been decided. I guess it’s still up in the air.

Wesley Snipes also says another potential Marvel role could be seen some time down the road.

That’s a possibility too. I’ve always been a fan of these pieces and adaptations and I’d be nice to be a part of the family again. But if we don’t to a Blade 4 or something else with Marvel, we’ll do something else. We have some other characters and some other concepts that are going to be just as exciting and hopefully just as successful. The first season of The Player will be interesting as well because we have drama and action, which is what I like. It gives me a chance to do a number of different things.

Snipes also comments on whether the “tide is turning” with there being more African-American superheroes, such as Marvel’s Falcon and Black Panther.

I don’t know. It’s takes more than one situation to make it a trend. One wouldn’t qualify it as a trend or a real shift in the tides yet. We’ll have to see how well the films do and how well the characters are presented. Clearly there’s an audience for it, both domestically and internationally. And I know that only a few guys can do this, so it’s kind of hard. Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.

Blade kicked off in 1998 and became a billion dollar franchise, and with Doctor Strange being the start of the supernatural side of the MCU, perhaps there is room for more of Snipes as the vampire hunting superhero.

Iron Giant Returning To Theaters This Fall

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21279:]]

WB is bringing back The Iron Giant to theaters this Fall with the release of The Iron Giant: Signature Edition, which is remastered with new scenes.

The Iron Giant special event screening will take place on September 30th, with an encore to follow on October 4th.

Look for tickets to go on sale soon.

Info:

When “The Iron Giant” arrived in theaters in 1999, it was hailed as an “instant classic” by Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal, and the world soon learned another giant had arrived as well: filmmaker Brad Bird, who made his stunning directorial debut with this film and has gone on to win two Oscars, as well as worldwide acclaim for his work on both animated and live-action features.  Winner of nine Annie Awards, “The Iron Giant” is being re-mastered and enhanced with two all-new scenes.

The film takes place in October of 1957, when America had plenty to be worried about.  Rock ’n’ roll.   Television.  The bomb.  And on the fourth day of that month, the Soviets successfully launched the first manmade satellite, Sputnik, into orbit.  The space race had officially begun.  The Cold War just got colder.  People were unsure about their neighbors, even questioning their friends.

In the small town of Rockwell, Maine, Annie Hughes (voice of Jennifer Aniston) is just worried about putting supper on the table for herself and her nine-year-old son, Hogarth (voice of Eli Marienthal).  A single mother holding down a job at the local diner, Annie has her hands full with Hogarth—headstrong and imaginative, always on the lookout for the latest attempted takeover by mutant aliens or subversive invaders.

So when a local fisherman comes into the diner with a tall tale about a huge metal man falling into the sea, the only one to pay him much attention is Hogarth, who sets out exploring to find the enormous robot.  What he does find is a 50-foot giant with an insatiable appetite for metal and a childlike curiosity about its new world.

Rumors of everything from an alien invasion to a Russian secret weapon bent on destroying Rockwell soon spread through the small town, prompting the arrival of government agent Kent Mansley (voiced by Christopher McDonald).  Keeping one step ahead of Mansley, Hogarth convinces his beatnik friend Dean (voiced by Harry Connick, Jr.) to hide the Iron Giant (voiced by Vin Diesel) in Dean’s junkyard.

But it isn’t long before the rumors turn into paranoia—the situation escalates and the possible destruction of Rockwell looms.  Hogarth turns to his friend, the Iron Giant, who ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving the town’s residents from their own fears and prejudices.

In times like these, you really find out what your friends are made of…sometimes, it’s even metal.

Warner Bros. presents “The Iron Giant,” a full-length animated motion picture directed by Brad Bird.  Produced by Allison Abbate and Des McAnuff, the screen story is by Brad Bird and the screenplay is by Tim McCanlies, based on the book The Iron Man, by British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes.  It was executive produced by Pete Townshend and the music is by Michael Kamen.  The film also stars the voices of James Gammon (as Marv Loach / Floyd Turbeaux), Cloris Leachman (as Mrs. Tensedge), John Mahoney (as General Rogard) and M. Emmet Walsh (as Earl Stutz).  “The Iron Giant” is distributed by Warner Bros.

“The Iron Giant: Signature Edition” will be rereleased in theaters across North America for a special Fathom Events screening on Wednesday, September 30, with an encore event on Sunday, October 4.

Consumer Products (WBCP) is heading to Comic-Con International: SanDiego (SDCC) 2015 in support of its licensing partners as they feature exclusive products and giveaways throughout the four-day event.  From Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to DC Super Hero Girls to Scooby-Doo and more, fun offerings can be found for fans of all ages. 

“Year after year, fans flock to San Diego to attend Comic-Con International to see their favorite brands celebrated in a larger-than-life forum,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We are happy to once again offer those fans the chance to take home a piece, or pieces, of the fun with our many licensing partners’ exclusive product offerings.”

While at the show, fans who attend the interactive DC COMICS MEETS LEGO ART Panel on Thursday, July 9, will witness the convergence of the world’s greatest Super Heroes with one of the world’s greatest toys as LEGO® brick artist Nathan Sawaya unveils the first-look at select signature sculptures to be showcased in the global touring exhibition, The Art of the Brick: DC Comics. Acclaimed comic book artist and Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment, Jim Lee, will draw LIVE the concept for a brand new Batmobile to be built entirely out of LEGO bricks and later unveiled during the tour exhibition. EP Daily TV host, Victor Lucas, will serve as moderator, with production team members, Brandon Griffith and Tommy Williamson, joining the discussion. Additionally, attendees will be treated to exclusive giveaways during the panel.

DC Super Hero Girls, the all-new Super Hero franchise targeted to girls ages 6-12, will also have a presence at the show as DCE and Warner Bros., as well as WBCP partners Mattel and Random House, offer fans giveaways throughout the four-day event.
