X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Photo - Magneto Watches D.C. Burn

0
0

I miss my Marvel trading cards that had all the stats and backstories on the characters. This new photo from X-Men: Days of Future Past has a trading card vibe to it though, complete with a character description from the X-Men Twitter page:

#MichaelFassbender is #Magneto, a mutant with unparalleled powers. #XMen

Not exactly a breakdown of abilities, strength, and agility like my old cards had, but it’ll do. The photo also gives us a look at some nice details on Magneto’s armor that I didn’t notice/see before.  Am I excited to watch this movie on May 23rd? Yes. Does Michael Fassbender look creepy just standing there watching Washington D.C. burn? #Yup.


BACK TO THE FUTURE Supercut - Every “Doc!” and “Marty!”

0
0

Over the course of their adventures together in the Back To The Future trilogy, Marty McFly and Doc Brown sure did say each other’s names a lot. In this supercut from the guys at ScreenJunkies, you get an overly concentrated dose of just that — and I guarantee it’s more times than you think. Maybe Marty could have saved himself some breath if he just assumed that since it was usually just the two of them Doc knew he was talking to him. Or perhaps he was out of breath all the time from wearing all those damn layers!

Stephen King Announces His Next Novel - REVIVAL

My favorite author Stephen King has announced his next novel! It's called Revival, and it follows a preacher and a drug-addicted musician in the mid-twentieth century. It centers around faith and addiction. Here's King's full description of the book: 

In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs—including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.


Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of 13, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family’s horrific loss. In his mid-thirties—addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate—Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

It sounds like this is going to be another great novel from the author. It's set to be released in November, which is six months after King's already announced thriller Mr. Mercedes. I'm sure fans love that they are going to get a double dose of King this year.

Architect of Death Star Speaks Out About Vents in Open Letter

The creator of the Death Star has finally spoken out about the blame he took for the flaw in the seemingly impregnable destruction device. To his credit, he makes some incredibly valid points justifying the ventilation, and how it's a miracle the event even happened in the first place! Upon finishing the letter I felt really bad for the guy and the years of pain and humiliation he suffered at the hands of a narrow-minded Empire. In all seriousness though, whoever wrote this brought up some really valid points defending the design. Great job in bringing this to our attention Dorkly.

Full Cast of SHARKNADO 2 Revealed - Production Starts Next Week

Sharknado was a ridiculously huge hit last year, and Sharknado 2: The Second One is set to go into production next week. The full cast of the sequel includes Ian Zierling, Tara Reid, Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Kelly Osbourne, Andy Dick, Judah Friedlander, and Judd Hirsch

Anthony Ferrante will be back to direct the sequel from a script written by Thunder Levin. This time around, a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, "unleashing a “sharknado" on the city’s population and its most iconic sites, with sharnado experts Fin (Ziering) and April (Reid) the only ones able to save the city."

I personally thought Sharknado was a huge piece of shit, and I didn't seem to enjoy it as much as everyone else in the world. The movie blew up on Twitter, though, and everyone, including several celebrities, was in on the Sharknado Twitter action. I wonder if the sequel will get the exact same reaction. Are you excited for it?

People won't stop talking about how awesome Frozen is and how I have to see it, and strangely enough, after seeing this parody I think I might. "Will You Help Me Hide A Body?" is a short and sweet parody of the movie's "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" and it had me laughing from the start. No one person can receive full credit for this work as the lyrics come from a Tumblr post, the voice from Soundcloud, and the video from someone who wanted to put it all together. Congrats, you guys. In a weird way you convinced me to finally see Frozen.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon take some friendly shots at each other in this video promoting a contest being held by Omaze charity. With a $10 minimum donation, one lucky fan and a friend will be flown to Los Angeles to hang out with the two actors. The proceeds raised will go towards the actors’ charities, Eastern Congo Initiative and Water.org.  

As Ben and Matt explain what the “best friend double date” will entail, they start taking some seriously funny jabs at each other about who has more Oscars, who wrote the majority of Good Will Hunting, and much, much more.

It’s been 6 years since the release of Mario Kart Wii, the last non-handheld installment of Nintendo’s signature racing game — Mario Kart 7 was released only for the 3DS. But Mario Kart 8 is due out on May 30th for the Wii U console, and Nintendo has released this trailer featuring new characters, new tracks, and all the shell-shooting mayhem you’d expect. Also as expected, watching this trailer will make you dizzy as hell. Haven't they figured out that Mario Kart is disorienting if you’re not the one playing? “Since when?” Since forever!

Hasbro has released our first look at their action figures for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Most of them look cool, but I've got to say, that Gamora figure is an awful design. Not sure what they were thinking there.

Hasbro's toy line includes seven figures, including Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). The other two figures will be unveiled Saturday at the 2014 Toy Fair.

Groot is a Build-a-Figure character, which means that each figure comes with an extra piece that allows you to assemble your own Groot. 

The action figures will hit shelves in July and retail for $19.99 each. Guardians of the Galaxy opens in theaters Aug. 1st.

U.S. Trailer for Nicolas Cage's Thriller JOE

Joe2.jpg

Joe is one Nicolas Cage movie that I actually wouldn't mind seeing. It seriously looks like it's going to be a great film, and this is coming from a guy who doesn't care for Cage. It looks like he actually give a solid performance though. The movie was directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Your Highness, The Sitter, Prince Avalanche), and it's based on the Larry Brown novel of the same name. Here's the synopsis,

In the dirty unruly world of small-town Texas, ex-convict Joe Ransom (Cage) has tried to put his dark past behind him and to live a simple life. He works for a lumber company by day, drinks by night. But when 15-year-old Gary (Tye Sheridan) - a kid trying to support his family - comes to town, desperate for work, Joe has found a way to atone for his sins - to finally be someone’s hero. As Joe tries to protect Gary, the pair will take the twisting road to redemption in the hope for a better life in this tough, hard-hitting but incredibly moving story.

The movie is set to be released on April 11th, 2014.

Trailer for DRIVE HARD with John Cusack and Thomas Jane

Check out this trailer to a new getaway thriller called Drive Hard that stars John Cusack and Thomas Jane. The movie was directed Brian Trenchard-Smith, who is the director of Leprechaun 4: In Space. Jane plays a race car driver, and Cusack plays a bank robber. Before you write off the movie due to lack of confidence in the director, just watch the trailer. It actually looks like it could be a fun movie worth checking out. You really can't go wrong Cusack and Jane, and it seems like they make a solid on-screen team. 

American thief, Simon Keller (Cusack), arrives in a foreign country in need of a getaway driver. Rather than recruit one from the underworld, he takes a driving lesson from ex F-1 champion, Peter Roberts (Jane), now working as a driving instructor. After Keller robs a bank during the lesson, Roberts has no choice, but to use his driving talent to get away from pursuing police and mobsters.

Trailer for the Werewolf Thriller WOLVES with Jason Momoa

Here's a trailer for a terrible-looking werewolf thriller called Wolves, which stars Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa. I guess the actor really needed the money because this thing looks like it belongs on The CW. The movie was directed by David Hayter, the screenwriter of films such as Watchmen and X-Men 2. I just can't help but think this guy could have gotten involved with a better film project. 

Cayden Richards, 18, has it all: Captain of the high school football team; straight-A student; gorgeous girlfriend. But when he wakes one dark night to find his parents brutally murdered, he is horrified to realize that he is turning into an animal: a wild, savage wolf. Panicked, Cayden runs, determined to find out what is happening to him. His quest leads him to the strange, isolated town of Lupine Ridge, where two clans of wolves are on the brink of war. The opposing clans are lead by Connor, the powerful, pure-blood alpha of a savage pack and John Tollerman, an old farmer, committed to protecting the human citizens of Lupine Ridge. But when Cayden falls for Angelina, the beautiful, young mate promised to Connor, a battle to the death is inevitable. And as the past begins to reveal itself, Cayden’s place in the world becomes clearer – as does his power to put an end to the savage violence building up around and within him…

The movie also stars Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class), and it's set to be released sometime this year.

The El Rey Network has released 12 lobby card images for Robert Rodriquez's upcoming new show, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. The cards give us our first look at Robert Patrick, Madison Davenport, and Brandon Soo Hoo as the Fuller family. They also feature Jesse Garcia as Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, D.J. Cotrona and Zane Holtz as the Gecko Brothers, Eiza Gonzalez as Santanico Pandemonium, Wilmer Valderrama as Carlos Madrigal, and Don Johnson as Sheriff Earl McGraw. 

The 10-episode serialized drama is centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko, who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw and Freddie Gonzalez after a bank heist left several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former pastor Jacob Fuller and his family, whom they take hostage.  Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires.  They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive.

The series is set to premiere on March 11th, and there's a chance that it could be a good show.

If you were looking for a way to simultaneously express yourself musically and show your love for Super Mario, look no further… Translation: If you were looking for a way to simultaneously earn and lose points with the ladies, look no further.

This custom Super Mario kit was built by Josh Fry. The print looks to be the same on all the shells. It would have been amazing if each drum had a different level on it. It would be even more amazing if Josh fully committed to the 8-bit motif and built square drums! Wait, a square drum kit would probably sound awful. Scratch that.

LEGO has unveiled a couple of new playsets for the new animated series Star Wars Rebels. They include the ships and full crews of "The Ghost" and "The Phantom." The characters included here are Zeb Orrellos, Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, and a Han Solo-looking pilot named Ezra Bridger. The Stormtrooper and the droid Chopper have already been introduced. 

Star Wars Rebels continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. 

But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship “Ghost.” Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.

Is This STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Millennium Falcon Concept Art?

Lucasfilm posted the the photo below on their official website, and what's interesting about it is that on the wall behind this team of people there's some possible Star Wars: Episode VII concept art featuring Han Solo's Millennium Falcon and other settings, including some kind of planet landscape. I even think there's a shot of Obi-Wan Kenobi in there.

In case you were wondering who is in this photo, it includes writer/director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, production designer Rick Carter, SVP of technology Kim Libreri, SVP of Physical Production Jason McGatlin, and Senior Visual Effects SupervisorJohn Knoll

I wouldn't imagine there would be many changes to the Millennium Falcon design for the next movie, but it's still really cool to see stuff from the film production popping up like this. As a huge fan of Star Wars, even little things like this are still exciting. 

Thanks to Jedi News for the heads up! You can find the concept art below.
