HOLY SHIT!!! That looks like a bit of Darksiders fusion.

Oh and guys, I'll be going to Fan Expo 2012 in Toronto on the 24th of this month, a Friday. I had some questions about it, in case any of you have been to comic-con or anime expo's etc
http://www.fanexpocanada.com/

Can I wear a custom made costume? It's more like parts and pieces that I bought from retail stores, of Iron Man. I don't have the full set. I have the clip-on mask, the arc reactor and I'll be getting the hand too. Is that ok ? Or do you have to wear a full costume for it to count?

Joe Carnahan to Direct Daredevil

Marvel and Fox may swap character rights.

The Grey and The A-Team's Joe Carnahan will reportedly direct the Daredevil reboot for 20th Century Fox, but it will cost the studio some of their Marvel character rights in the process.

Variety reports that Fox is under the gun to make another Daredevil movie before October 10 or risk seeing the rights to the character revert back to Marvel. Carnahan's take on a Daredevil movie is said to be a “Frank Miller-esque, hardcore 70s thriller.” It should be noted, though, that no formal offer has yet been made to Carnahan.



Meanwhile, a backroom deal between Fox and Marvel could see the screen rights to several other characters traded back to Marvel in exchange for Daredevil.

As Variety reports, "Sources say Marvel would give Fox more time to make Daredevil in return for the rights to use characters from the Fantastic Four universe, including the giant, world-devouring supervillain Galactus, rumored to play a key role in future Marvel pics. Marvel is also eyeing future use of Silver Surfer, who in the comicbooks brokered a deal to serve as Galactus’ herald in order to save his home planet. (Fox owns rights to the Silver Surfer as part of its deal for Fantastic Four, which the studio is also rebooting with Chronicle helmer Josh Trank.) At this point, the ball is said to be in Fox’s court, with talks expected to resume later this week. But as of right now, Fox needs to start lensing by the Oct. 10 deadline to keep Daredevil in-house."

The Future of IRON MAN is Marvel NOW!

What does the future hold for the armored Avenger?

Last week Marvel teased the new creative team for IRON MAN. One of the questions I had was what would the actual title be? Would it still be INVINCIBLE as the teaser suggested? Will there be a different adjective? Now we know.

Kieron Gillen and Greg Land will be kicking things off on IRON MAN #1.



Starting in November, the new ongoing series will take the Marvel Universe in an "exciting all-new direction." There will be loads of creative switches happening along with the new #1s. Just remember, it's not a reboot.

Technical visionary. Unparalleled engineer. Avenger. Iron Man has done it all, from combating the greatest threats facing the Marvel Universe to dealing with his own inner demons. Now, when his greatest invention becomes his greatest mistake, Iron Man must act fact…and build faster! The lethal techno virus Extremis is out in the wild and for grabs to the highest bidder! It’s up to Tony Stark to contain it and that means creating a new suit of armor!

“Kieron and Greg are about to take Iron Man on a journey unlike anything he's ever experienced,” said Marvel Editor In Chief Axel Alonso. “This creative team took the X-Men to the next level, and with Iron Man they’re taking everything you know and love about the character and putting a spin on it that will have readers buzzing. Wait until you see what the new suit — I mean, suits -- of armor can do!”

Marvel NOW! is the culmination of Marvel ReEvolution, the groundbreaking new initiative to evolve the comic book experience through innovation. With Iron Man, Marvel NOW! ensures fans will see a side of Tony Stark, never seen before.

The story will focus on him questioning things about himself and trying to find out exactly how the universe ticks, what’s this all about and why he does this anyway,” explained Kieron Gillen in an interview with Marvel.com. “There will be a lot of changes in the armor throughout the series; in the first five issues there will be a different armor every issue.

Each issue of Iron Man includes a code for a free digital copy on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and Android devices. Additionally, each issue of Iron Man features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app – including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your reading experience at no additional cost.
“Not only does every book with the Marvel NOW! logo feature a new superstar creative team and blockbuster story, but they also come with all-new incentives for our retailer partners,” explained David Gabriel, Senior Vice-President of Sales, Marvel Entertainment.. “We want to make sure every comic shop nationwide is fully stocked to meet the high demand we’re already seeing for Marvel NOW! And want to make sure their voices are heard throughout this exciting time. Stay tuned for more news on how Marvel will be working directly with retailers to make sure our programs address their needs.”

Joss Whedon Signed for The Avengers 2 and Marvel Live-Action TV Series
Posted on Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 by Peter Sciretta

Breaking news: It was just announced on the Walt Disney Investors Conference Call that Joss Whedon will return for The Avengers sequel. Whedon is signed to both write and direct the upcoming sequel. Disney confirmed that Whedon is also involved in the development of the previously-rumored long-lead ABC live-action television series which will be set inside the Marvel cinematic universe.

Whedon had previously said that he was “very torn” about coming back:

“It’s an enormous amount of work telling what is ultimately somebody else’s story, even though I feel like I did get to put myself into it. But at the same time, I have a bunch of ideas, and they all seem really cool.”

Marvel is notoriously cheap when it comes to contracts, so some fans were worried that a deal wouldn’t be made. I think everyone will be excited that Whedon is back for the next one. If I were Kevin Feige I would secure Whedon to a long term contract as an executive producer, overseeing the marvel universe on a Pixar braintrust-level. The Avengers is being tentatively planned for a Summer 2015 release, although Disney and Marvel have not formally announced a date. If that is still the plan, expect filming to begin in early 2014 (April is my bet).

We have no more details about the series, but fans have speculated that it will probably center around SHIELD and possibly introduce third/fourth tier Marvel superheros to the masses.

[DreDayDetox]

So glad to hear this news. Joss Whedon is the only man for this job, and coming back to television only makes me think of one cast member that's gonna make it: Nathan MOTHERFUCKING Fillion!!!


But please, for the love god, don't use shitty CGI like in Smallville and make it too kid-friendly because it's an ABC show.

Warner Bros. approaching Ben Affleck for 'Justice League' directing job

With Christopher Nolan declaring himself out of the running for JUSTICE LEAGUE, Warner Bros. has approached another of its go-to directors in Ben Affleck, who’s expected to discuss the project with studio brass in the coming days, multiple sources tell Variety's Jeff Sneider and Justin Kroll. Since guiding WB’s THE TOWN to commercial success and critical acclaim from both sides of the camera, Affleck has ascended high on the studio’s list of filmmakers who can be trusted with prime properties. Thus far, Affleck is the only candidate who’s been sent Will Beall’s JUSTICE LEAGUE script, which the GANGSTER SQUAD scribe was hired to write last summer. DC Comics’ answer to Marvel’s Avengers, JUSTICE LEAGUE is expected to bring together marquee characters Batman and Superman, as well as Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash. Affleck has made it clear that he’s only interested in directing films in which he also stars — THE TOWN and ARGO are proof of that — so its likely that if this pairing ever came to fruition, he would don a suit of his own. One possible hesitation on Affleck’s part is that any involvement with JUSTICE LEAGUE would take him out of circulation as a director for a few years. He could, however, still fit in an acting gig at Warners. Affleck has spent the last several weeks mulling an offer to star in topline Greg Berlanti’s long-gestating sci-fi drama REPLAY, which WB has spent more than a decade developing. Based on Ken Grimwood’s 1987 bestseller, story follows a man who dies and gets the chance to relive his life over and over again, changing partners and professions each time. JUSTICE LEAGUE won’t likely be ready for release until summer 2015, which could put it up right against Marvel’s AVENGERS 2, which has Joss Whedon returning to helm.

This is weird but i wont judge because i thought the director of Zathura and Elf was a horrible choice to direct Iron Man and boy was i wrong.

[DreDayDetox]

Yeah but people liked Zathura, and Ben Affleck certainly proved himself with The Town, but with the list of bad movies he's made, not to mention Daredevil, I can understand the worries and hate for this kind of news. I'll give it a chance since I don't care too much for the Justice League, but I'll be lowering my expectations lol.

Super heroes are all the rage, the big screen and television alike slowly but surely filling up with appropriately themed projects. It’s only natural that someone should look to explore the possibility of telling a story from the other side of the good vs. evil struggle. NBC looks to be doing just that with a new super villain show they’re working on called Hench.


The basic plot follows an average Joe who needs money to support his family. Being as how the pay is good enough, he decides to get a job doing temp work for various super villains.


The plotline is remarkably similar to the 2004 graphic novel of the same name, though it’s unsure of whether NBC will be taking from that story directly or just looting the good bits. A previous attempt was made to adapt the graphic novel by Warner Brothers, but that one disappeared into pre-production limbo three years ago.


Production heads consist of Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) and Sarah Aubrey with Alexandra Cunningham (Desperate Housewives) coming on as the writer. This crew also worked together on the American adaptation of the British drama Prime Suspect, though that one wasn’t received too well by audiences.


Personally, I’m not impressed with those already on the project and am deeply skeptical that it’s going to be a blatant attempt to cash in on the super hero trend. What do the folks at home thing?


If all goes according to plan, Hench will be joining the line-up of the fall 2013 season.

The idea seems like it would work really well on the FX channel, because you have to have graphic violence for bad guys. Putting it on NBC will just make it family friendly and will have morals in it, which will become incredibly cheesy. Remember how well the Cape did on NBC? Yeah.

Is This An IRON MAN 3 Trailer Description??

SPOILER ALERT !!

Dr. Evil sent us the following message about an IRON MAN 3 trailer he got a look at. He outlined the circumstances in which he witnessed this material - and it seems highly, highly probable that the information herein is legit, and represents a trailer being considered for Shane Black's forthcoming picture (due in theaters early May 2013).

Nonetheless, take this with a grain of salt, as Dr. Evil is a first time contributor, and many variations of trailers might be mulled between now and the time material arrives on computer, television, and theater screens.

Here's Dr. Evil...

It opens with a voice over of Tony Stark talking about how the events of New York (I’m assuming the Avenger Movie) changed him, and how he’s just not “into it” anymore. First scene is Iron Man with battle damage, laying down amid rubble and taking of his faceplate to show a bleeding Stark. Scenes of him arguing with Pepper Potts in the armory (cool shots of alternative Iron Man suits including the red white and blue one we’ve seen on your site already), press conferences, Tony looking solemn, Tony talking with someone who looks like a psychiatrist, and a short shot of Don Cheadle in military uniform (no War Machine in the preview). Also one scene of who I presume is the Mandarin, forcefully landing and cracking the ground. However, it looked like a silver Iron Man. I was unable to tell in the brief view who it was (maybe due to unfinished CGI).



We then get a voice over from Ben Kingsley, talking about how there there are no heroes and how he will teach everyone, especially Stark, a lesson. This is over scenes of the alternative Suits getting blown up, Stark going into surgery, and a fleet of helicopters launching missiles which blow Stark’s home up and apart (the CGI looked nearly finished) and sending Stark and Pepper into the sea below. Then a close up of Kingsley with no helmet in the Mandarin armor.

It ends with Iron man underwater swimming towards what looks like his “heart reactor thing”. Then the logo, then stark walking in the snow dragging a large bag, then the logo again.

All and all, a somber trailer, dark and humorless, which seemed more in tone with The Dark Knight Rises than with any of the other Iron Man movies or the Avengers.

This is my first time writing you. I you use this, call me Dr. Evil.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/57600...medium=twitter

If this is true, you can bet that my hype for the movie just skyrocketed through the roof!

[HellsJester]

Any word when we are supposed to get the trailer?

[DreDayDetox]

OMFG....

And as for the trailer, I doubt it will come out this year. Following their track record, probably right after the new year or when the Football thing starts.
