Batman Vs. Superman Trailer IMAX Locations Revealed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20076:]]

Update: Zack Snyder released the teaser trailer with a link to the Batman vs. Superman website where fans can sign up for the full trailer IMAX screening. You can watch the new teaser trailer below.

 

It looks as if Regal Cinemas has accidently released the IMAX locations for the Batman Vs. Superman trailer a day early as screenshots from their website have hit the net revealing the locations.

Regal has since taken the information down, but not before some super fans posted the following image.

It’s been said that Zack Snyder will be debuting a super-short clip from the Batman Vs. Superman trailer tomorrow, which will then let fans sign up to be contacted where to find the IMAX locations for viewing this Monday.

Well, now we apparently have those locations.

It’s also been said the Batman Vs. Superman trailer will be attached to The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

More than likely as the Batman Vs. Superman trailer is only screening in a few select locations, the trailer will be released online around the same time 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.

Thor 2’s Patty Jenkins To Direct Wonder Woman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20074:]]

Monday saw Michelle MacLaren drop out from directing the Wonder Woman due to creative differences, and now it’s learned Patty Jenkins has been brought on board to take over.

Patty Jenkins was at one time lined up to direct Thor 2, but in similar circumstances, left the Marvel movie over creative differences.

THR reports Jenkins has closed the deal for Wonder Woman with Warner Bros.

It’s said WB and Jenkins need to movie pretty fast to keep up with the 2017 Wonder Woman release date. As far as the script goes, it was previously said that MacLaren was heavily involved in its shaping, so it remains to be seen whether or not Jenkins will need to retool the script or even start over from scratch.

Jenkins saw directorial success with her debut movie starring Charlize Theron on Monsters and has done episodes of the AMC hit series The Killing.

Gal Gadot will star as Wonder Woman and be featured in the May 2016 Batman Vs. Superman.

Angelina Jolie Said To Be Wanted For Wonder Woman & Captain Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20073:]]

Update: Patty Jenkins is the new director for Wonder Woman.

 

With Michelle MacLaren dropping out of the Wonder Woman movie over creative differences with Warner Bros., now a new name has surfaced.

Collider is reporting Warner Bros. is eyeing Angelina Jolie for the job to direct Wonder Woman.

It’s also said Marvel is eyeing Jolie for Captain Marvel.

The problem is that – if Angelina Jolie would even want to – she would have to either pick one or the other as the two movies have close release dates.

Wonder Woman is due out in 2017 from WB, and Captain Marvel hits the following year in 2018.

Angelina Jolie has had critical success as of late with directing her movies Unbroken and In the Land of Blood and Honey and is supposed to direct Africa, which is said to star her husband Brad Pitt.

Jolie recently starred in Disney’s hit movie, Maleficient, which is spawing a sequel.

Obviously it seems both studios are wanting female directors for the movies, but Joss Whedon is now available as he’s taking a break following Avengers 2. Whedon is known for his powerful portrayals of female characters and was even once attached to a Wonder Woman movie. Any chance he’s mended fences with WB? Whedon would definitely be a good pick for Captain Marvel.

Joss Whedon Faces $10 Million Lawsuit Over Cabin In The Woods

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20063:]]

With The Avengers 2 set to open in only two weeks, Joss Whedon has been hit with a $10 million copyright infringement lawsuit over the 2012 movie Cabin In The Woods.

THR reports in addition to Whedon, director and co-creator Drew Goddard and Lionsgate have been named as defendants on the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed by Peter Joseph Gallagher who claims Whedon and Goddard infringed on his novel, The Little White Trip: A Night In The Pines, which is claimed to shared similar themes, characters and instances with the movie.

Gallagher alleges that Goddard and Whedon came to know about his book when he self-published the novel and “began grassroots efforts” to sell it on the Venice Beach boardwalk and on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade. “[The defendants] currently reside and operate out of Santa Monica, California, a short distance from where the Book was sold,” the lawsuit reads. 

You can read the full complaint here.

Cabin In The Woods grossed about $67 million at the box office and instantly became a cult-favorite. It’s a great horror flick, if you haven’t seen it.

Batman Vs. Superman Teaser Trailer Rumored For Thursday

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20057:]]

Update: The teaser is now online and can be watched below. You can find info on the IMAX locations for the full trailer here.

 

Earlier today saw Zack Snyder post and image of himself with a monstrous-sized IMAX camera.

Now it’s being said Snyder and Warner Bros. will be releasing a super-short teaser on Thursday, with the Batman Vs. Superman trailer arriving some time next week.

Latino’s Review El Mayimbe is the source of the info, which is said to be corroborated by other websites.

If true, the info contradicts a composer on the movie who stated the Batman Vs. Superman trailer is attached to the May 15th release of Mad Max; the composer, Junkie XL, has since deleted the tweets.

It’s rumored that Zack Snyder will be releasing five seconds of the Batman Vs. Superman footage at 9am on Thursday, which is an hour before the start of Disney’s Star Wars Celebration, where it’s also rumored the next Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will debut.

If the info is legit, the Batman Vs. Superman five-second teaser will also give details how to view the trailer in theaters the following Monday.

It’s also said the Batman Vs. Superman trailer will run in front of Avengers 2, which is out May 1st (and earlier in international locations).

Update: The British Board Of Film Classification, which is a web site that lists trailer info, has the Batman vs. Superman trailer listed with a run-time of 2 minutes 6 seconds.

“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.

Melissa McCarthy Leader Of Female Ghostbusters (Video)

We get an update in the above video from director Paul Feig about the upcoming Ghostbusters female reboot.

Feig says that Melissa McCarthy will be the leader of the team and also offers that the reboot gives them a chance to do things differently and not just follow the originals, especially with the ghosts/monsters and special effects.

Feig also doesn’t seem too thrilled about the recently announced Ghostbusters universe with the franchise expanding into merchandise, television and a male-driven Channing Tatum Ghostbusters film.

Feig actually dismisses the wider Ghostbusters Universe and offers it won’t affect his film and even states he doesn’t know if the Channing Tatum Ghostbusters movie is definitely happening.

He also offers the announcement was a big surprise to him, with apparently Sony not informing him of the new Ghostbusters venture.

Check out more in the video.

The female Ghostbusters reboot has a July 22, 2016 release also starring Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and Leslie Jones.

James Gunn Talks Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20050:]]

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20049:]]

James Gunn recently attended the Red Carpet premiere for The Avengers 2 where he discussed Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and even mentioned a third film.

Vulture caught up with Gunn who teased the sequel will be more about Star-Lord and his father. Star-Lord’s father was absent from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but is said to be an alien (though apparently SL’s father will be different than the comics).

“There’s a lot of stuff I’m excited about in the new movie,” Gunn offered. “Listen, I’m still excited about Star-Lord’s character and where he goes. At its heart, Guardians is a story about families, and if the first film was about him and his mother, this is a story about fathers. So it’s exciting to go there.”

As Gunn notes “fathers,” perhaps he is also talking about the “fathers” of the other characters as well. Maybe we’ll learn more about the Gamora, Nebula and Thanos relationship or even about Drax’s origins. It’s even possible we could learn more about where Groot came from.

With the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie being such a success, Disney quickly announced a sequel, so it should be no surprise that Gunn mentions the possibility of a third film.

“I knew for a long time what the story of the second one was gonna be,” Gunn said, before teasing, “And the third one!” 

Update: Gunn offers more in the following video with: “I think it’s about getting to know the characters a little bit more… and also get a little bit more – I don’t want to say serious – but go a little bit deeper with who the characters are.”

Gunn also says we’ll get to know more from Gamora, Nebula and Yondu “in a way we got to know some of the characters in the first movie.”

Update #2: Gunn offered the follwing on Facebook:

I did five short interviews on the red carpet at the Age of Ultron premiere, and it’s all been distilled to three topics: 1) Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is about Fatherhood, 2) We’ll get to know Gamora, Nebula, and Yondu more in the sequel, and 3) I think the mix for Awesome Mix Vol. 2 is better than Awesome mix Vol. 1. There. I just saved you ten thousand articles.

PS All of this is subject to change. Although I have a very intense and specific 70 page treatment (or scriptment as it’s often called, because it contains dialogue), I am just now diving into the actual script. If inspiration strikes I can, and often do, diverge wildly from my original plan. In a couple weeks, Guardians 2 could center around the love triangle of Awesome Android, Paste Pot Pete, and Taserface, backed by an all-Spice-Girls soundtrack. 

“Guardians of the Galaxy 2” has a May 5, 2017 release.
