First Look At Henry Cavill As 'Superman'

2011-08-04T11:22:00.002-04:00

The very first picture released from Zack Synder's 'Man of Steel' is a dark and badass Supes appearing to be mid-fight. Since filming hasn't begun on the flick I'm sure this set piece isn't important to the film but I think it says a lot about what Synder has in store. I must say, I LOVE this. Everything about it. Especially the costume's emblem and cape. I can't wait for this flick.

Agent Coulson's Marvel One-Shots

2011-08-02T17:58:00.006-04:00

When Marvel Studio's Thor makes its way onto Blu-ray and DVD this September, it will come with two all-new short films focused on Clark Gregg's S.H.E.I.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson (One of my favorite Marvel movie characters). He will bridge the storylines between Thor, Iron Man 2, and the The Incredible Hulk leading into the release of The Avengers. 'Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant' and 'Marvel One-Shot: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer...' were produced exclusively for this upcoming Thor release, and you can watch a clip from 'Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant' below:

Old Man Logan

2011-07-06T17:52:00.002-04:00

One of the coolest Wolverine stories in recent memory is Old Man Logan, written by Mark Millar. Millar posted a fan made teaser trailer for a hypothetical movie of the incredible story and, of course, Millar is enthusiastic about this project moving forward:

"Fox should totally do this. Steve and I obviously don’t own the rights to this world the way we do with Nemesis, etc, but who cares? It would be great."

This fan clip features Hugh Jackman in flashback, and Clint Eastwood as Old Man Logan himself. Check it out:

'The Captains' Debut

2011-07-03T17:20:00.002-04:00

So Captain Kirk has made a documentary on being a Captain of the starship Enterprise, and has interviewed every captain between he and Chris Pine. It will premiere at Comic-Con and Epix HD simultaneously.

"Hailed as Shatner’s “final farewell to Star Trek”, The Captains looks to be a good time – and a fitting way for Shatner to say goodbye to the franchise and fans who made him an icon.

So, check out the clip below and set your DVR for Friday, July 22nd at 8:00 PM EDT. If you don’t have Epix as part of your cable or satellite programming, you can also catch the film on EpixHD.com." --Movies.com

'Jurassic Park' Will Return On Blu Ray

2011-06-28T19:37:00.001-04:00

"...let's just get to the details on what Universal has in store for the Jurassic Park Trilogy when it hits Blu-ray on October 25th, 2011.

- "Newly remastered and digitally restored" transfers. Don't let the thoughts of digital restoration combined with Steven Spielberg worry you, it's hard to imagine this will be another case of CGI alterations a la E.T.

- DTS-HD Master 7.1 audio. The only way John Williams score could sound better is if you time travelled to the day he recorded it with an orechestra.

- "Return to Jurassic Park," a newly produced six-part documentary that sounds a lot like "Tales From the Future," Universal's stellar retrospective documentary produced for last Fall's Back to the Future Blu-ray set." --Movies.com

Pixar-Style Pop Culture Cars

2011-06-26T21:17:00.003-04:00

Pixar may have let us down with 'Cars 2' this weekend, but I'm sure if it'll make enough money, Disney will somehow concoct a way to get Pixar to make a third. Now hold your moans and groans, cause this will give Pixar one more chance to get it right. Afterall, there is plenty left to explore in the car-niverse, just like the Pixar-ized versions of famous film cars created as seen on Old Red Jalopy.

James Spader To Be The New 'Office' Boss (To An Extent)!

2011-06-25T18:02:00.000-04:00

"The 'Boston Legal' star is reportedly in talks to join 'The Office,' but not as Scranton branch manager -- as the Dunder Mifflin/Sabre CEO. 'Harry's Law' actress Kathy Bates currently plays the paper and printer company honcho, but won't be able to reprise her 'Office' role and star on 'Harry's Law' at the same time.

...While no scripts have been written for 'The Office' Season 8 and Spader has yet to sign a deal, the likely scenario according to EW is this: Spader's character is hired as branch manager, but quickly decides the job is too small for him. He then convinces corporate to give him the CEO gig. "

And So It Has Come To This: 'Cars 2' Is Pixar's First Rotten Movie

2011-06-24T06:08:00.000-04:00

We here at Nerdism Comics have always let our love for Pixar be known. To us (and many), the studio has never made a bad film... until now. Though we haven't seen 'Cars 2', rarely has their been any film whose Rotten Tomatoes' fresh/rotten status I's argue against. This truly is an end of an era.

‘Brave’ Teaser Poster

2011-06-22T21:22:00.000-04:00

Pixar, in what may be an attempt to prevent people from solely focusing on 'Cars 2''s Rotten Tomatoes rating has premiered a teaser poster for their next movie, 'Brave'.

"Set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, Brave stars Kelly Macdonald as Merida, the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman (Julie Walters) and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida’s quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), the surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane)."

Long, a "performance and video artist" according to his website, plans to travel by crate for a week with no connection to the outside world, except for his Lord of the Rings Online account.

Big Mac

2011-06-20T11:43:00.004-04:00

ScreenJunkies visited the set of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” where they learned that the normally fit and muscular Rob McElhenney had added fifty pounds to play Mac this coming season.

Why? For the sheer comedy of playing his character as a fat guy. “It’s been disgusting to watch him go through with this adventure,” said Charlie Day. “We were a little on the fence about it for his own personal health and safety,” he added, “but it has definitely made Mac a lot funnier.”
