Matthew Vaughn Says People Are Tired Of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Superhero Movies

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18604:]]

Matthew Vaughn, director of Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class and the upcoming Kingsman: The Secret Service, thinks people are tired of dark superhero movies and even points to Marvel’s success with Guardians of the Galaxy as an example.

While speaking with SFX Magazine, Vaughn said, “People want fun and escapism at the moment. Look at the success of Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Vaughn continued with specific mention of the Christopher Nolan style of movies, which includes The Dark Knight Trilogy as well as the recent new Superman reboot Man of Steel that spearheaded the WB shared movie universe with Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League.

“I think Nolan kick-started a very dark, bleak style of superhero escapism, and I think people have had enough of it,” Vaughn said.

Vaughn then went on to talk about Kingsman: The Secret Service, which seems a bit more light-hearted as initially the studio thought it something akin to Austin Powers.

“The studio was like, ‘What is this — Austin Powers?’ It was a balancing act, but I think we pulled it off,” Vaughn said. “It’s not a comedy, but it’s full of laughs. It’s got everything. It’s what we did with Kick-Ass — it’s a proper movie, but we’re allowed to have a bit more fun with it. Its aim was to be entertaining but not silly.”

Kingsman: The Secret Service has a February 13, 2015 release starring Colin Firth, Michael CaineTaron Egerton and Samuel L. Jackson.

Channing Tatum has been involved with the role for quite a while and most recently said Gambit would be “something different” suggesting it would be more of an anti-hero movie than a superhero film.

The writer on Gambit is Joshua Zetumern who recently wrote the 2014 RoboCop movie.

Channing Tatum has Jupiter Ascending coming out next month as well and is involved in the sequels to Jump Street and Magic Mike.

Tatum’s name also surfaced with the Sony leaks where it was stated the actor is interested in a Ghosbusters spinoff with fellow actor Chris Pratt.

Fox also announced the third Planet of the Apes movie will be delayed a year to July 14, 2017.

Fox’s Fantastic Four 2 previously held the July 14, 2017 release, which will now be moved up six weeks to June 2, 2017.

Benedict Cumberbatch Talks Doctor Strange: Reading The Comics & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18600:]]

Benedict Cumberbatch will play the Sorceror Supreme for Marvel Studios.

Cumberbatch will star in the Doctor Strange movie that is being directed by Scott Derrickson and has a November 4, 2016 release date.

With the movie set to open next year, fans can expect Doctor Strange to start filming relatively soon.

While we we, Benedict Cumberbatch spoke about Doctor Strange with the Wall Street Journal noting that this movie will introduce Marvel’s supernatural elemnts for the first time.

I don’t think it’s a risk because of Marvel. Marvel is a stable of bringing out ordinary comic characters and turning them into screen-like gods. It’s very different, it’s an Astral Plane. There’s a huge new element to this Marvel universe that’s going to be employed in building this story and this character. But you know, I’m really excited about it, about working with Scott [Derrickson] whose imagination is endless, and all the boys and girls at Marvel who know what they’re doing.

Cumberbatch then goes on to comment that while he never read the comic books growing up, he is reading Doctor Strange now.

Growing up, no. I didn’t read many comics at all. Asterix a bit. I think that was it. There weren’t many comics in my household — [in a self-mocking voice] “I’m so deprived.” We didn’t have Marvel so much. But you can bet your bottom dollar I’m reading them now, avidly.

Amazing Spider-Man 3 Casting Call Goes Out

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18592:]]

Following leaked e-mails revealing that Spider-Man may be going back to Marvel Studios, a casting call has now gone out for “The Amazing Spider-Man 3.”

The casting call may actually lend credence to Spider-Man going back to Marvel as Sony previously didn’t have plans for a third Spider-Man movie before the Marvel talks.

Leaked e-mails revealed that if Spider-Man did go back to Marvel, Sony would want to fast-track another Spider-Man movie in order to follow Spider-Man’s appearance in Captain America 3.

The e-mails revealed that Marvel Studios wants Spider-Man for Captain America 3 as well as creative control, with Sony still holding distribution rights and the ability to make standalone Spider-Man movies.

The casting call does mention that “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” stars Andrew Garfield; however, that may not be much to go on as a separate casting call listed for Independence Day 2 has Will Smith as “rumored,” but Smith has been confirmed not to be returning.

The leaked e-mails did reveal Marvel wants a new actor in the role of Spider-Man, but internal communications between Sony execs did state Sony still wants Garfield.

“The Amazing Spider-Man 3” casting call also lists the city of Atlanta, Georgia, as the shooting location, which is where Pinewood Studios is located and where Marvel filmed the Ant-Man movie.

The information comes from Bill Beckman Casting, with the company described as: “Bill Beckman Casting has been casting for all major studios and production houses, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Warner Bros and Paramount…”

It has also been said Sony is holding a Spider-Man “Summit” this month to determine the character’s future with the company and possibly working with Marvel.

Jeff Wadlow He-Man Movie Script Is Ready

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18588:]]

By The Power Of Grayskull! I Have The Power!

Back when I was around nine years old I had a letter published in the He-Man Magazine stating that “I liked when He-Man said that.”

The He-Man cartoon and of course the action figures were a big part of my childhood, so this comes as some good news to me.

The Senior Vice President of Production at Columbia Pictures, Devon Franklin, has started off the new year right by tweeting a picture of the completed He-Man movie script for Masters Of The Universe, which is written by Jeff Wadlow.

We see from the image that Wadlow updated previous versions of the Masters of the Universe script from Alex Litvak and Mik Finch, Richard Wenk, and Terry Rosio.

Wadlow previously wrote Kick-Ass 2, Cry_Wolf, Never Back Down and episodes of Bates Motel.

It’s being said that Wadlow might also direct the Masters of the Universe movie, but there may be a conflict with the X-Force movie; however, there hasn’t been mention of X-Force in a while. Fox has only confirmed movies for X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool and Wolverine 2, so it’s possible that X-Force might have been shelved.

To date, Masters of the Universe has no release date, plot or actors known. Hopefully we’ll hear some news soon.

David Fincher Reveals Spider-Man Plans

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18584:]]

Back in 1999, David Fincher passed on the oppurtunity to direct Spider-Man, and it has been said the director was up for the reboot that Marc Webb ended up nabbing.

Now while speaking with io9, Fincher offers what his take on Spider-Man would have been in that it wouldn’t have been the superhero version that Sam Raimi did, but something that sounds more in line with the Amazing Spider-Man movies, though in a more mature way.

My impression what Spider-Man could be is very different from what Sam [Raimi] did or what Sam wanted to do. I think the reason he directed that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero. I was never interested in the genesis story. I couldn’t get past a guy getting bit by a red and blue spider. It was just a problem… It was not something that I felt I could do straight-faced. I wanted to start with Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin, and I wanted to kill Gwen Stacy.

The title sequence of the movie that I was going to do was going to be a ten minute — basically a music video, an opera, which was going to be the one shot that took you through the entire Peter Parker [backstory]. Bit by a radio active spider, the death of Uncle Ben, the loss of Mary Jane, and [then the movie] was going to begin with Peter meeting Gwen Stacy. It was a very different thing, it wasn’t the teenager story. It was much more of the guy who’s settled into being a freak.

David Fincher is known for directing Fight Club, Seven, The Social NetworkThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and will directing its sequel.

Jurassic World Gets A Super Bowl TV Spot

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18581:]]

It’s learned Universal will be spending the big bucks as Jurassic World will have a spot during Super Bowl XLIX.

ABC confirms Jurassic World is the first movie to sign up at a cost of $4.5 million for 30 seconds.

Other confirmed brands include Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Pepsi.

Doritos will be back with their fan-created ads, as will Godaddy with Dana Patrick.

It’s noted M&M’s and H&M won’t be back for this year’s Super Bowl, and perhaps with some disappointment, Volkswagen won’t be doing another of their Star Wars spots. 

Marvel usually has an ad during the Super Bowl as last year saw one for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Possible contenders for this year would be The Avengers 2 (though Marvel is debuting a new trailer before the Super Bowl on January 12th) and Ant-Man (again, Marvel is debuting the Ant-Man trailer with Agent Carter previous to the Super Bowl).

Maybe J.J. Abrams will be bringing some kind of spot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

Warner Bros. usually skips out on the Super Bowl, so don’t hold your hopes up for anything Batman Vs. Superman related.

It probably should be noted Universal owns NBC, so seeing Jurassic World first on the schedule shouldn’t be a surprise.

Super Bowl XLIX airs February 1st on NBC.

“Jurassic World” has a June 12, 2015 release directed by Colin Trevorrow also starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Judy Greer, Katie McGrath, Lauren Lapkus, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, and Omar Sy.

Blomkamp posted the images on Instagram with mention this was just a side project of his and nothing to do with any movie studio.

It’s possible Blomkamp, the director behind District 9, Elysium and the upcoming Chappie film, may have intended to use the art as a pitch to Fox for a new Alien flick.

Updated: with two more pieces of art. In addition, Blomkamp makes note that maybe he will go back to it.

 

Was working on this. Don’t think I am anymore. Love it though. #alien #xenomorph

Awesome 3D Print Of Batman Dark Knight Suit

We’ve seen 3D Print version of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens lightsaber, now check out the 3D Print version of the Batman The Dark Knight costume (based on the Arkham video game suit).

Cosplayer Crimson Coscrafts commissioned the suit with the help of Tundra Designs and Gauntlet FX (via 3dprint.com).

According to the cosplayer, the Batsuit fits really well with room even enough to bend at the waste.

The price is unknown, but you can commission your own 3D print Batsuit via one of the above designers.

Watch: Iron Can – Iron Man Parody Trailer

Check out – Iron Can!

It’s actually a well done parody for an Iron Man trailer put together over the past two years by YouTubers Anders Wotzke and Michael Nixon.

Check out the description:

Ultra Downy Jr. (now with floral scent!) stars as Tony Starch: Genius. Billionaire. Philanthropist. Can of fabric softener.

After being pressured into revealing his secret identity, Starch attracts the attention of the nefarious Fabrice Crimp, leader of a cult of creased cottons who believes that since the world isn’t flat, nothing should be.

Only Iron Can has the power-setting to flatten Fabrice and put an end to his ruffled reign of terror. No one straight is safe. Everyone bent is probably ok for once. The fate of looking presentable in a button-up rests on the nozzle of one can. 

But even the greatest of heroes eventually run out of steam…

Watch: Spider-Man Sony Characters Demand Return To Marvel

We’ve seen the Spider-Man fanboys‘ message to Sony about returning to Marvel, now hear from the characters themselves!

The Make ‘Em Laughs Films YouTube Channel put together the above video using cosplay footage of the Sony Spider-Man characters.

Within the last month, due to the Sony e-mail hacks, it became known that Sony and Marvel either were or are in talks for Spider-Man to return to Marvel Studios.

The leaked information stated that Marvel would have creative control over Spider-Man, which includes a new actor and new costume.

It was said Marvel wants Spider-Man to appear in Captain America: Civil War, which will also star Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr.

The leaked e-mails revealed the possible involvement of Captain America directors Anthony and Joe Russo in a new Spider-Man franchise in addition to possibly original Spider-Man director Sam Raimi being somehow involved.

It’s said Sony is having a “Spidey Summit” this month to work out the details.

Neither Sony nor Marvel have officially commented on Spider-Man returning to Marvel Studios.
