City of Amnesia

in b4 nine.

So yes, movie news goes here.

To kick it off, IRON MAN FOOTAGE FROM COMICON

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/88455.html

Nice, man. Hey, is there any other news on that new Hulk movie? Like, progress, actors, have they picked a director yet?
War.

William Hurt as General Ross
Edward Norton (?!?!) as Banner
Liv Tyler as Betty Ross
and Tim Roth as the Abomination

So a completely new cast. This bodes well.
War.

So, is this going to be our new goal around here?

Iron man w00t! I knew this was gonna be made sooner or later!

The first of (i think) three new evangelion movies is coming out in Japan on September 1st

I already told D my dislike of this thread (starting it off with Iron Man?), but my first post here;

Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) is directing Thor (http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=6185).

Also, the only movie I'm waiting for is Ridley Scott's American Gangster. The trailer looked damn good... even though it has TI in it.
Peace.

Yes. Except for how Russel Crowe sounded like he was pronouncing "racketeering" as "rocketeering"

Yeah, you mentioned that before on the old PCF.

Lol, we all know Aussies are on the NYPD trying to bring down the Mafia.
Peace.

That kind of mispronunciation would COMPLETELY change the meaning of the entire movie.

Not... really, no.

I mean, its just his accent. Probably not enough (or no) time at all with a dialect coach for an American accent. But if you watch the trailer and think American Gangster has anything to do with rockets, then that's your fault.
Peace.

Is Stardust any good? The trailers look good, and it looks like DeNiro's in the movie, so... any chance of there being a good, fairly original fantasy movie this August?
War.

I'd like to know how DeNiro can oscellate between movies like goodfellas or once upon a time in new york, to movies like this and the live-action rocky and bullwinkle

So does that mean it's a bad movie, Sharp? have you seen it? Because I thought the trailers looked pretty good, I might see it.
War.

my sister wants to see it. which is surprising because she looks down upon my reading and watching comic/anime, and she's the fool who's crazy about fantastical stuff.

18 new images from the upcomming movie The Dark Night.
Not to sure about The Joker. Hoping for a good turnout, we'll have to see.

Christian Bale looks good... what the hell is up with all the different Batmen?... okay seeing this, kind of has me scared about Ledger's Joker.
Peace.

...yeah, the teaser trailer got my hopes up, but that last picture of the Joker kinda deflated them again. Eww.

That Joker looks like shit. That's all I'm saying. Looks like this version of Joker is just wearing makeup. Damn. So... not even Joker.
War.

Also, I knew about it before, but I hate the new Batman suit.

I liked the fact that he couldn't turn his head because of the neck.
Peace.

Why does batman have a mini-14, and batman 2 have a slingshot

Christian Bale. Nom nom nom.

I'm still all fan-girly/ tarding out about this new movie. (Hell, I even went downtown a while back to try and become an extra for it!  ;) )

Interestingly enough, I'm keeping a very open mind about this whole Heath Ledger as the Joker thing. If it all turns out well enough, I'll be in Bats Heaven! <3 <3 <3

I'll see your fangirlishness and raise you a pessimistic and oft-disappointed comic book moviegoer.
War.

Such a true rarity on the internet, yeah

A veritable Intarwebs leviathan of petty pissant-ery!

JOker looks eww, and is it just me or can you actually clearly see the string holding the flying batman up in one of those pics?

They'll remove it in post-production. ::)

I'm sorry but until they make a Batman movie like this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XiZuvJ48MZ0), I will always have my doubts. 8)

Naw.

If there's one movie I'm going to have my doubts about, it's the Watchmen movie. :-/

Wait, what.

This dude looked like Gordon Freeman with the beard, he should have gone that route instead of this.

...did you just say "Gordon Freeman"?
Peace.

It's time to chooooooose Mr. Freeman.

Half Life, motherfucker, did you play it.

You know I don't, you lace-curtain.
Peace.

Heres more stuff about the remake of the day the earth stood still http://www.variety.com/VR1117970896.html

You know, in case some of you are really looking forward to seeing it updated and the subtext of the original be replaced with "lol no bludd 4 oyl" or something.

(And if you are, you're a horrible, horrible person)

edit:


Very much so, yes

I was going to do this actually, Sharpie.

And figuratively speaking, I did. Lol.

Also, Robert Wise is rolling in his grave from this.
Peace.

I have a feeling film is cyclical. I mean...the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was remade recently...now this...yeah, we're going to have another Army of Darkness before I kick it, I hope.

They're apparently remaking evil dead, so you're halfway there.

(No I don't know if they're going to go for evil dead 1, as in "attempted horror movie", or evil dead 2 as in "yeah its a horror movie but its also largely slapstick". Probably the former or so my gut would say..which would suck since evil dead wasn't anything to write home about frankly, when that series found its niche with the slapstick craziness in 2 it was better)

Yeah, I was getting that vibe as well.

If they remake Evil Dead, they have to keep the "tree rape" scene in. You know the one I'm talking about, if you've seen the first one. That was just too damned funny.

War.

Contractually obligated one would hope, yes.

Because that was just too goddamn bizzare and lol

(HOLY CRAP IT'S ME)

I'm going to get a new Batman roller coaster (http://www.superherohype.com/news/batmannews.php?id=6357) and you're not (unless you live in Jersey or Massachusetts).

I thought that was awesome enough to inspire me to come back here.

That looks really cool, but if it really is an indoor roller coaster I hope it's not terminally lame like Skull Mountain.

Goddamn links and them not working here...

For DM (Vegeta). Place your bets accordingly, because I reckon this is bad news (and to a lesser extent, for me as well).
Peace.

They have one chance-- ONE CHANCE-- to get this right. Otherwise, they are going to see what a real anime fanbase can do.
War.

...instead of tomatoes, you guys will send corpses of green men to the studio in defiant protest?
Peace.

Damn straight, and we will set said green corpses on fire.
War.
