New series on AMC about the first spy ring in the US during the Revolutionary war.

Yeah. AMC is in some trouble if this doesn't catch on. Mad Men ending and Breaking Bad have ended, they're down to Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels for good shows on that channel.

The Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon may be infamous, but it's also incredibly hard to collect these days. The old DVDs are out of print and hard to find, and each of the two sets will run you around $50 used. But publisher Discotek Media is changing that later this year, as its set to release the entire Mega Man series on DVD on September 30th.

The best part is that the box is going to be retro themed just like an old NES game. Discotek has even gone so far as to put "authentic" wear and tear on the case, just like the old days. No pricing details are on offer yet, but I'm definitely picking this up -- even if the show leaves much to be desired.

Meant to bridge the gap between Splinter Cell: Convinction and the recent Splinter Cell: Blacklist, a comic book series covering the exploits of Sam Fisher is coming soon.

The series, subtitled Echoes, is being written by Nathan Edmondson who has a history with Marvel's Black Widow and The Punisher series with art by Marc Laming. Speaking about the series, Edmondson says the story will be standalone, accessible to those who haven't played the Splinter Cell games. The series will be published by Dynamite Entertainment and is launching this summer.

They stole his elephant again.

I'm 40 mins in and so far it's pretty crappy. I feel like they are trying to have that Jackie Chan action adventure feel without the comedy and the realness. Plus they are making it look Hollywoodesque with all the special effects and camera shots but it's done badly. The fighting is not even good and I'm tired of Rza showing up in these flicks.

Assassin's Creed is getting a movie. I almost forgot about it, because I was hoping it wouldn't actually happen. But it is, and now the film it has a director attached to it: Justin Kurzel (MacBeth). In addition, David-8 hottie and Magneto the Magnificent, also known as Michael Fassbender, is attached to the film playing the lead and acting as producer. That's good news, even if Michael Fassbender isn't a gamer. As long as it's a decent adaptation, it doesn't matter who's involved, does it?

Fassbender went in-depth with Screen Rant regarding his involvement with the project: "We’re just developing the script at the moment. I’d heard of it but had never played the game. I don’t have a video game player […] that’s not what they’re called. I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they told me the story behind it, and I thought it was very interesting -- the idea of reliving memories.”

The NBC Universal-owned Syfy Channel is set to make a slew of development announcements today at their upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers, but several announcements of comic adaptations were announced early, including plans to adapt Frank Miller’s comic Ronin and Jonathan Hickman’s Pax Romana as limited series, as well as Charles Soule’s Letter 44 and David Schulner’s Clone as scripted drama series.

The Hollywood Reporter had details on Ronin and Letter 44. Frank Miller’s 1983-84 DC Comic limited series Ronin will be developed as a miniseries, and Soule’s Oni Press sci-fi/political thriller Letter 44 is planned as an ongoing drama.

The six-issue Ronin, with artwork painted by Lynn Varley, takes place in a dystopian future New York, where a Feudal Japanese samurai who failed to save his master from a demon is reincarnated. The demon Agat has also returned, and now the ronin hunts him, as they vie for control of the demon’s magical sword.

Syfy is currently searching for a writer for the mini-series, and the number of episodes has not been determined. Despite Miller’s many film adaptations, this may be the first adaptation to make it to TV, since there has been little news on the planned Sin City TV program (see “'Sin City' TV Show”).

Charles Soule and Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque’s Letter 44 refers to the letter each exiting U.S. President leaves to his successor, and the shocking news President Stephen Blades finds. Apparently, the financial turmoil and needless wars his predecessor created are meant to prepare humanity for a possible alien invasion detected by the NASA crew of The Clarke.

The pilot will be written and directed by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3, U-571). The show will be produced by Oni Press’s sister company, Closed on Mondays. James Lucas Jones, and Joe Nozemack are set to produce. René Echevarria, showrunner for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Castle, and The 4400, will executive produce with Mostow, and Closed on Monday’s Eric Gitter.

Hickman’s 2007 Image release Pax Romana will be developed as a miniseries, according to Deadline. The story follows a Special Forces team that time travels back to Ancient Rome to fix the past and prevent World War III. The story will be scripted by Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia (Warehouse 13). Circle of Confusion’s David Alpert (The Walking Dead) will executive produce with Federman and Scaia. Hickman will co-executive produce.

Development of Schulner’s comic Clone was announced by Skybound and Universal at Comic-Con last year (see “NBC/Universal Developing Skybound's 'Clone'”), but now The Wrap is reporting SyFy has announced development. Schulner is writing and executive producing, with Robert Kirkman also executive producing. David Alpert from Circle of Confusion will also executive produce.

Last month Syfy announced a rebranding to “return to its sci-fi/fantasy roots,” after efforts to court a broader audience with wrestling and low budget movies with B-grade talent failed (Sharknado aside). To get the ball rolling quickly, it appears Syfy will be tapping the comics market for ready-made plots. They already announced plans to air Metal Hurlant Chronicles (see “Syfy Picks Up 'Metal Hurlant Chronicles'”) and development of DMZ (see “'Mad Men' Producers to Adapt 'DMZ'”).

I really dislike not being near a decent book store. My wife just read Divergent after seeing the movie. She enjoyed it. Not normally a fan of young adult fiction, but she said it did clear up a few things in the movie. Anyways, I was at walmart today because I live in a shit hole community that doesn't even have a walmart (had to go 25 mins away for a freaking walmart). They had the first and third book...

What do you guys think about having a "spin-off" forum that contains Books/Comic Books/Animated Content? And then it will look like:


Movies & Television (Live content)
Animation/Books/Comic Books (Animated content such as Anime, Cartoons, DC/Marvel animated movies, books etc)


I'm not feeling Books being in the M&T forum as well as Comic Books and Anime and I feel like they get lost in there.

I say do a trial period and see how it goes. I don't know if we discuss those things enough to warrant their own forum.... but maybe we would discuss it more if it had its own forum.

I had an idea for a creative writing (anything really) forum for people who write, play, sing, whatever. There wasn't so much as a trial sub-forum before people shot it down. And we have some talents in here. It would be strange for a Book forum to spring up if that didn't get even a trial run.

Sony currently in talks with Jordan Vogt-Roberts to become the director for a potential Metal Gear Solid film. Sony's been wanting a film made for the past 8 years but it never got beyond some early planning.

However, Sony might be taking some baby steps toward actual production. As reported by Deadline, the production company is in talks with Jordan Vogt-Roberts to direct Metal Gear Solid. Vogt-Roberts is best known for directing the well-received indie flick The Kings of Summer

Be Prepared for The Lion Guard

http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/06/the-lion-guard-.jpg

20 years ago, The Lion King roared to life in theatres. Disney Junior has now put a twist on this classic coming-of-age film with a new series for the next generation of audiences.

The Lion Guard will premiere in Fall 2015 as a television movie, with a subsequent series to debut in early 2016 on Disney Junior and Disney Channel. The story begins in the heart of the African savannah, as Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, assembles a team of his close friends to preserve the Pride Lands. The show will also include special appearances by Mufasa, Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu and Kion’s older sister, Kiara, the future Queen of the Pride Lands. The show will focus on conservation education, the importance of family and community, while also highlighting creative problem-solving skills and diversity.

Consultants from the Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida will serve as advisors on The Lion Guard stories, while author and Swahili expert, Sarah Mirza, will serve as language and cultural advisor.

With the incredible success of The Lion King spanning across both film and stage, we are very excited to see what kind of adventures these new stories and characters will take us on.

Moviehole likens the film's time-travel effects to Back to the Future II, and Schwarzenegger's character to Leonard Nimoy's Old Spock in Star Trek (2009).

Pffffft

[Lock Jaw]

At least I think it is a reboot.... Sarah Connor is alive....

[Sixx]

Dunno, that article I just linked is pretty confusing about whether it's a remake or not.

It also says they're gonna include some scenes of T-1000 from Terminator 2 as well as Sarah Connor's killing spree, which seems kind of weird.

[Lock Jaw]

Reading more about it....

In those pics, that is Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese.... both seem to be in some sort of hospital.... dude in the suit with his back turned is supposedly John Connor... so it looks like John Connor will be traveling through time as well. Will probably have multiple timelines and confusing time travel things going on.

Arnold actually explained why his unit is older. He also explained that because of the nature of the franchise, it is not a reboot per se. Every Terminator movie or TV show is 'canon'.

There seems to be this new subscription based shopping method going around. In the case of Loot Crate I guess you pay x amount per month and they send you a box with geek/gamer goodies for each month that you've paid for. There's another site where you pay a subscription and a stylist picks out clothes for you each month. Kind of weird but it's cool for whoever is in to it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not at all cool with people 'guessing' what I want that month. I stopped listening to the radio and watching TV for just that reason. Seems kinda backward. Like, in another timeline/universe we'd have done this first before evolving to current shopping methods (the crazy notion of buying exactly what you want). I'm also betting a fee is taken out of the monthly payment and actual purchases are inexpensive to maintain revenue. Unnecessary middleman really. Just strange all around.

Back to the Terminator reboot/sequel thing. My brother and I were talking about it, and I told him about the "living tissue" gimmick they're running with for Arnold, and he brought up the idea that it would have been cooler to have him be an original resistance member, only to eventually be captured, held hostage/killed and used as the model for the next gen terminators.

The animated Heavenly Sword film is current set to be released on September 2nd on Blu-Ray, DVD, and PSN.
The movie was put together by Cinedigm and boasts Hollywood voice actors, including Anna Torv (Fringe), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) and Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea).

The group involved with the 2007 Hitman film recently stated they want to work on a film from the Thief series.
Prime Universe, the minds behind 2007's Hitman movie adaptation, has their eyes on a movie based on Thief. Adrian Askarieh and Roy Lee are behind the project as producers. Askarieh is also working on a Kane & Lynch adaptation, as well as what looks like a sequel to the original Hitman movie, where Roy Lee has worked on The Ring, The Grudge, and other Americanizations of popular Japanese horror films.

This year at E3, Sony unveiled its plan for original programming on the PSN -- debuting with Powers. As a superhero live-action series, Powers will debut this December, along with their first director, who will handle the first two episodes -- David Slade, who has worked on Hannibal, Breaking Bad (one episode; a good one), and 30 Days of Night.

The first image from Ridley Scott’s Halo: Nightfall has appeared online, offering a look at the newest Spartan on the block Agent Locke.

The image was posted online by Variety (has since been taken down) and features actor Mike Colter (The Good Wife and The Following). It was originally believed that Colter would play a character called Marlow, but multiple sources have since confirmed that he will play the role of Spartan Agent Locke, who will also appear in Halo 5: Guardians on Xbox One.

Locke will play a key role in Halo 5, and Nightfall is designed to tell his origin story so players have an idea of who the character is when he appears in the game, according to 343 Industries studio head Bonnie Ross.

We already knew that a live-action The Last of Us movie was in the works at Screen Gems, but additional details surrounding the project have been announced today at San Diego Comic-Con.

Game co-director and writer Neil Druckmann is writing the script for the adaptation and Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead) is producing. A director hasn't been named yet -- that role will be chosen by Druckmann -- but they've talked with Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones' Arya Stark) about playing Ellie. Raimi also said they'd find a place in the film for Bruce Campbell.

Next film in the Resident Evil series called Resident Evil: The Final Chapter got pushed back from a possible 2015 release to now a 2016 release date.

Resident Evil film star Milla Jovovich was all set to fly to Cape Town, South Africa to film the newest iteration in the franchise, but something unexpectedly came up. She and her director husband found out that they are expecting their second child, and "after a lot of discussion" the decision was made to put the movie on hold -- you know, since she'd have to do stunts and a lot of physical work.

"Everyone knows that Tetris is one of the best known, most beloved brands in the world," said Kasanoff. "What everyone doesn't know yet is this epic sci-fi story that we’re going to tell. That's what's really exciting."

7 Surprising Things You Never Knew About The 'Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'


Here are seven surprising things you never knew about (what should have been) your favorite show.

Warning: Some of these are huge bummers.

Amy Jo Johnson Is A Record Setter

Starting off with a positive fact, everyone's favorite Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson has the distinction of being the longest-serving female Power Ranger, appearing in 137 episodes before she left the series.

People Really, Really Loved The Green Ranger

Jason David Frank was everyone's favorite, the Green Ranger (and later, the White Ranger). However, he wasn't supposed to stay on the show for very long. Frank's arc on the series was only supposed to last a handful of episodes, but fans demanded he be kept on. Frank ended up staying with the Power Rangers franchise for years, and ended up appearing in 217 episodes during different iterations of the show.

The Secret Of The Yellow Ranger

Did you ever notice how there were two female Power Rangers, but only one of them had a skirt? That's because the American show used Japanese Power Rangers footage for the fight scenes, and in the original show, the Yellow Ranger was a man. That's why the Pink Ranger's outfit has a skirt, and the Yellow Ranger's doesn't.

A Star Was Born

Bryan Cranston, best known for his award-winning turn as Walter White on Breaking Bad, actually worked for Saban Entertainment, and provided voices for a number of the monsters on the show. The Blue Ranger, Billy Cranston, is named after the star.

The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Might Not Have Been LGBT Friendly

Actor David Yost played the Blue Ranger for hundreds of episodes, until one day he just walked off the set, never to return. The reason? According to Yost, who came out as gay a few years later, it was because the producers and director of MMPR allegedly hurled homophobic slurs at him all the time, until he just got so fed up with being harassed he quit. The producers have since responded to Yost's claims, saying the real reason was because the show didn't pay Yost what he asked for, and that it was Yost who refused to get along with the rest of the crew.

A Shocking Number Of Cast Members Have Died

MMPR might be cursed. Not only are a number of the show's performers dead, a lot of them died young - starting with Thuy Trang who played Trini Kwan, The Yellow Ranger. Trang tragically died in 2001 at the age of 27 when the car she was riding in with two of her friends lost control and drove into a cliff face before flipping multiple times. Trang's friends both survived, but she died from her injuries.

Bob Manahan, better known as the voice of Zordon in season 2, died in 2000 at the age of 48 when he suffered an heart aneurysm.

Also deceased: Erik Frank (Jason David Frank's brother who also played his character's brother on the show) died at 29 from "an unspecified illness."

Also: Eight others, including Machiko Soga, who played Rita Repulsa. Wow, this entry was sad.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Is Censored In Malaysia

Why on earth would a fun kids show about bloodless monster fighting get banned anywhere? If you guessed, "Because it promotes violence," or, "It encouraged children to build giant robots," both of those are wrong.

It's because the Malaysian government thought it encouraged the use of hardcore drugs. Does that not make sense? Well, think about the title. Mighty MORPHIN' Power Rangers. Morphin' sounds like Morphine, which will get kids addicted to morphine, according to the Malaysian government.

The show's title was edited down to just Mighty Power Rangers, and the word was bleeped out when the Rangers said, "It's morphin' time!"

According to trade outlet Variety, Constantin Film—the German production house that’s been responsible for twelve years (so far) of Resident Evil cinematic plague being unleashed upon the world—is looking to expand their live-action take on Capcom’s series to serialized television once its film run comes to an end.

Would be based on the film's version of the RE universe and not the gaming series for main inspiration. Won't arrive until after the final film so late 2016 or 2017 as its earliest date possible.

The supposed Minecraft film is rumored to be getting Shawn Levy as its director.
Minecraft may have found its director for the upcoming film -- yeah, that's a thing. Warner Bros. has apparently tapped Shawn Levy, the director of Night at the Museum -- he's currently in talks to join the project. Oh, and Night at the Museum 2, and the upcoming Night at the Museum 3. And he directed The Internship, which I watched on a plane once and somehow made the flight worse.

In addition to the previously announced Jesse Metcalfe, Meghan Ory, Virginia Madsen, and Dennis Haysbert, Aleks Paunovic, Harley Morenstein, and Keegan Connor Tracey will join the Dead Rising film project.

Oh, and Rob Riggle was cast as Frank West. Love him or hate him, I can definitely see a little Frank West in Riggle -- especially considering the fact that he was on The Daily Show and is a retired marine. Perfect "I covered wars" and action movie potential.

The movie is called Dead Rising: Watchtower, and will be released straight to video, so don't expect a masterpiece however.

New live-action Mortal Kombat series is currently in the works and meant to tie into next year's Mortal Kombat X game.

A live-action digital series is being created "in association" with Mortal Kombat X, Warner Bros. announced today.

Blue Ribbon Content, Warner Bros.' new division focusing on live-action and animated series for digital platforms, will produce the series. Few details are available about the project, which will "feature some of the franchise's most iconic characters as well as a new generation of fighters."

The new series will join the likes of live-action projects such as Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Legacy, which debuted in 2011, explores the characters of the original game.

Like Garfield, [Jim] Davis (Garfield creator) is a fan of lasagne. "Yeah, I love lasagne. I thought it would be funny to have a cat who likes lasagne but as it turns out, I hear from people all the time that their cats love lasagne." And he confessed that even though Jon loves Odie, too, Garfield is his favorite "because of the depth of their relationship. He confides in Garfield so much. and I think Jon may have a little masochistic problem. He enjoys the abuse that Garfield heaps up."

I have always wondered why Garfield hates Mondays when every day is pretty much the same for him, but Davis had the answer. "Garfield does not have a job, Garfield does not go to school and every day is the same. Nevertheless every Monday is just a reminder that his life is the same old, same old cycling again and for some reason even though his life is pretty much the same every day on Mondays specifically, awful things tend to happen to him physically."

And there ya go.

Sony rumored to be considering dropping their majority control over the Spider-Man license in the near future. The issue at the basis seems to be the main branch (Sony of Japan) being furious recently with their movie division (Sony Pictures) in regards to leaks and data breaches.

If true, Marvel would regain majority control over the Spider-Man series while Fox Studios would be the only outside company left with any majority control over certain Marvel properties (X-Men and Fantastic Four series). The way both companies had deals done meant that as long as a film was made every so often, their majority control status would never end unless it was willingly given up.

From a source familiar with the matter, I can report that the deal Sony finally rejected was NOT a Marvel trilogy of movies that Sony would have control over. Instead, it was a co-production deal where Marvel and Sony would split future Spider-Man film costs 60/40 (Marvel paying the larger part) while MARVEL retained control of the Spider-Man creative property with the potential to have him cross-over into Marvel’s Phase films, like an appearance in Captain America: Civil War ...

Now, what initially looked like a retaliation attack for The Interview from North Korea might drastically alter what happens to Spider-Man. All the players on the Sony side are now in hot water regarding their very public leaking of films and data at the hands of hackers. Sony’s parent company in Japan are apparently very angry at how this is all playing out. I’ve heard that the atmosphere is that anyone could end up getting fired over this if it begins to cause serious financial damage ...

What I’m hearing from my little birds is that Sony, the parent company, views Sony Pictures’s handling of the Spider-Man property as disappointing. Sony wants to be all about “quality” films (actual one-word quote, not air quotes), and the Amazing Spider-Man movies have not been that, nor have the rumors of future films in the franchise. Sony Japan thinks the Marvel deal for Spider-Man is still on the table and they want to renegotiate as a return to quality, the 60/40 split is can be negotiated and Sony Entertainment’s October hard-line stance of wanting creative control is now mostly moot in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Marvel thread?

[Jura]

Does anyone know why exactly do networks air certain shows out of order? If the people who make the show make the episodes in a certain order then why mess with that?

[Kalyx triaD]

Once a show gets into syndication the network can pick episodes out of a hat.

[Jura]

That doesn't tell me the reasoning behind it though. Constantine, Almost Human, etc were out of order. Imagine if they aired Breaking Bad episodes out of order. Once the executives lose faith in a show do they just say fuck it?

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty much. They say "Hey this episode seems better, let's play it now so anyone new watching it likes it"

[Kalyx triaD]

That doesn't tell me the reasoning behind it though. Constantine, Almost Human, etc were out of order. Imagine if they aired Breaking Bad episodes out of order. Once the executives lose faith in a show do they just say fuck it?

Oh you mean when the show is new.

There's a lot of reasons, but if the show is in a serial format it's pretty much because somebody is being an idiot.

According to the recent leaked/hacked emails from Sony Pictures, an animated Super Mario Bros film is in the early stage of development. Hasn't been officially approved yet by either Nintendo or Sony but the person in charge of the film's rights has been in close contact with Sony Pictures for it.

#BringInRiker is picking up steam to bring in Jonathan Frakes as the director of the 3rd Star Trek reboot movie.

That doesn't tell me the reasoning behind it though. Constantine, Almost Human, etc were out of order. Imagine if they aired Breaking Bad episodes out of order. Once the executives lose faith in a show do they just say fuck it?

Or they see better things about a certain episode and try to show it off as a showcase of what the series is going to be.

Fox did that with Firefly. They showed "The Train Job" (Shows 2nd episode) first over the pilot episode. The episode was more action because it featured a train chase and stagecoach thievery. It was a perfect example of what the show was going to be Sci/Fi-Western-Action-Drama-Comedy.

The Pilot didn't even air until December.

Ultimatley it was a mistake even though it probably was done with good intentions. Firefly's pilot was essential.

According to Variety, Sega is in the process of finding studios willing to make films and tv shows based on several of their games.

Variety reports that the long-time publisher/developer has hired Evan Cholfin, from Stories International, to adapt Sega’s gaming IPs into movies and TV Shows amongst other mediums.

Sega’s historic catalog of iconic franchises, which spans roughly 30 years, leaves Cholfin and Sega a plethora of content to choose from. Leaving out mascot Sonic The Hedgehog, live-action or animated adaptions of Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Rise of Nightmares, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter and Golden Axe are in the works.

Got something in my eye. Excuse me.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sony cancelled the theatrical release of The Interview after constant warnings by North Korean hackers and a majority of theaters pulling out due to safety concerns. Won't even bother with skipping to a DVD/VoD release either.

Besides the threats of "9/11"-like attacks, the hackers were also planning on releasing the bulk of data they still have out in the public had the film been released.

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/sony-cancels-theatrical-release-for-the-interview-on-christmas-1201382032/
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/sony-has-no-further-release-plans-for-the-interview-1201382167/

US already confirmed North Korea was behind the hacking attack and are considering tough sanctions as punishment. Last time they were severely punished by the US, the government came really close to collapsing.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

North Korea fucked with Jewish people's money. They are fucked.

[Fignuts]

So I guess The Grudge is getting a reboot. Probably in the minority here, but I loved the first two. Just watched the first Japanese one, and it was pretty good. lol at the horrible special effects though.

so to counter this, a cinema in Texas is showing Team America: World Police for free on the 27th

Some other movie that Steve Carrell was supposed to star in also had its production canceled due to either being set in North Korea, or having something to do with North Korea at least....

[Fignuts]

So we can release a videogame where you just murder North Korean soldiers en masse, but cinema is off limits?

[Emperor Smeat]

To be a bit fair, North Korea complained a lot when games involved making them look bad. Just didn't go as far as what they did to Sony in retaliation and being very specific with their threats back then.

That and the insurance on the film made it easier to get back most of the money already spent for it.

[Fignuts]

If I've learned anything from this, it's that trying to get your way by threatening violence apparently works great.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sony backtracked on canceling The Interview's release. It still won't be shown in theaters but will be getting a release on Crackle for free.

Regardless of Sony's situation, hacker group Anonymous stated they are going to release the film online on Christmas day. Beside the illegal way, BitTorrent is currently in contacts with Sony for a legal torrent release as well.

Read a rumour about Idris Elba possibly being a future James Bond.... that actually would be pretty cool.

The funny thing is it was most likely just a fan rumor thing that's taken a life on it's own. He's almost guaranteed the part after Daniel's era now.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ubisoft and Fox are currently planning on a December 21st, 2016 release for an Assassin's Creed film.

Likely could end up being moved out of that date considering what else is getting released and/or have another snag in its long development road.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Fox recently dated a bunch of upcoming flicks, and Assassin's Creed, starring Michael Fassbender, is slated for December 21, 2016. That's one week after the first of the Star Wars spin-offs.

No interest in seeing movies based on modern games. They are already pretty much interactive movies.

That Dead Rising: Watchtower movie starring Rob Riggle as Frank West is still happening, and Sony Pictures has set a premiere date -- March 27.

It will debut on Crackle, Sony's online streaming service, but it will also hit the physical realm and other streaming outlets eventually. Although the project is a feature film, it will be provided in episodic format on select sites.

Sophie Turner up in this bitch

I just watched John Wick.

Question: Was Kevin Nash's voice dubbed?

[Jura]

Would be a weird thing to do since that was his only part in the movie. I'm guessing he worked a lot on it plus doing the accent and voice made it sound different. I could be wrong though.

[JimmyMess]

Yeah, I was just curious, because it really didn't sound anything like him. But I guess that is acting afterall.

Sony and Marvel agreed to a new deal regarding the Spiderman series. Sony gave up some of its iron tight control over the series and is allowing Spiderman to appear in other Marvel films while Marvel will provide a lot more support for developing future Spiderman films.
(Culver City, California, and Burbank, California February 09, 2015) – Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of Spider-Man.

Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.
http://marvel.com/news/movies/24062/sony_pictures_entertainment_brings_marvel_studios_into_the_amazing_world_of_spider-man


In terms of Marvel's film phases, several films got their release date delayed to make room for Spiderman's new status in the plan.
As a result of the new deal, Thor: Ragnarok will now arrive nearly four months later than planned, moving to November 3, 2017 (from July 28). Black Panther, which previously held that spot, gets delayed eight months, going from that original November 3 date to July 6, 2018. That, in turn, bumps Captain Marvel to November 2, 2018 and moves Inhumans all the way to July 12, 2019. The two-part Avengers: Infinity War, meanwhile, remains set for release May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019.

Besides some delayed films, the aftermath of this new deal also saw Andrew Garfield being dropped in favor of someone new for Spiderman's actor.
As part of the revamp, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film. The companies are not revealing details but that movie is likely to be Captain America: Civil War; the character was a major player in the comics storyline. Andrew Garfield is not expected to reprise the character.

still bummed out Garfield not getting a crack at the MCU, but regardless, im insanely stoked for this.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A8fr9YD-OUg?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm guessing the people who don't like it are fans of the game but if it's good, mindless action then I don't see the problem.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not that I usually side with purists when it comes to adaptations but I must beg the question; wouldn't it be simpler to just make a good mindless fun action movie? To adapt a game is, to some degree, have it based on the game.

Not saying this is that far removed, looks better than the last try, just saying that over the years I've begun to sympathize with the more level headed criticism.

[alvarado52]

Well truthfully....was there really much of a story to follow in the games?

[Sixx]

mr clean killed people

Well truthfully....was there really much of a story to follow in the games?

I believe the whole series took narrative fairly seriously actually.

Being written by Gary Whitta with Gareth Edwards directing it.

Probably going to get slaughtered in the box office since its showing up a week before the new Star Wars film.

So I'm reading an article about Hobbit 3 not making $1 billion.... and its essentially a negative article.

"OH MY GOD WE DIDN'T MAKE A BILLION DOLLARS THIS IS A FAILURE"

are they fucking high? Like seriously... what in the fuck ass fuck of a dumb fuck shit head people are running these studios.

[Tazz Dan]

Two and a Half Men. Nobody is talking about the finale. Thoughts people?

[Lock Jaw]

Made a comment in the casual forum about it.... Never really watched the show or got into it, but I read what the final scene was and it just seems like the most terrible and petty thing ever.

[Tazz Dan]

Pretty much, the whole episode was just them taking shots at Charlie Sheen, although I didn't think it was meant in an attacking manner, it came across as more of a tribute to his character to me. But yeah, it was far from good. On the bright-side though, it continued the trend of disappointing show finale's recently :y:

[Jura]

Yeah it seems like when shows end they don't put as much effort into wrapping it up. Maybe it's because they were cliffhanger endings but I liked the Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles and Angel finales.

I heard they offered Charlie Sheen to show up at the end but he didn't want to do it the way they wanted and that was that.

[Droford]

The Ferris Buller episode of the Goldbergs was pretty hilarious. Charlie Sheen reprising his role in the police station was funny.
