Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…
Although Before Watchmen wins the story of the week, if you count up all the separate articles, it’s Doctor Who that wins the day by busting through them all. Go Doctor! Woo! Top Twenty Traffic Posts Of The Week 1. Moffat Sets Up Doctor Who Season Seven And A New Companion. 2. BEFORE WATCHMEN…
This weekend, Alan Moore engaged in his first mass webchat, to help promote the Kickstarter appeal to raise money for a tribute statue to the late Harvey Pekar. The two-and-a-half hour video has been made available on Vimeo, and those who enjoy it are asked to consider making a Paypal donation towards the fundraising effort…
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl. Here are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Show down at the Super Bowl. Sort of.
Nacho Vigalondo‘s debut film, Timecrimes, showed us a filmmaker keen to get into genre right up to his elbows and start swapping the wires around, and so it goes with Extraterrestrial. What we have here is an alien invasion film that’s not really like any other. Looks great, and it’s great to get some idea…
A one minute TV spot for John Carter aired during series premiere of The River, and quickly found its way online. Most of the new stuff here is of the spectacle variety – but it does look genuinely spectacular. Roll on March 9th.
Here’s the first of my three interviews with the talent behind The Muppets. We’ll start with the tallest and work our way down – James Bobin, then Miss Piggy, then Kermit the Frog. Bobin and I talked about some of the technical choices necessary when working with Muppets, and also how making the film a…
Last I heard, Shawn Levy‘s next picture was going to be either Fantastic Voyage or Frankenstein, but it seems that’s old news. As Frankenstein has apparently collapsed under the strain of its $80 million budget, Levy has been left to pick up another comedy picture. And he’s gone for Interns. I get it. I’d really…
In 1997, Orbital contributed to the scores of two feature films, Event Horizon and The Saint, and the music they made was amongst the more powerful and interesting elements in either movie. This year, they’ll be back in the OST section with a new soundtrack to Luis Prieto‘s Pusher. The film’s distributors, Vertigo, sent us…
James Mangold‘s X-sequel The Wolverine is yet to start production, but it seems that Fox are confident they’ve lined their ducks up nicely this time as they’ve set an official release date. Get your diary. The one you haven’t bought yet. And use pencil just in case. Here it is: July 23rd, 2013. So what…
Adam Green’s sitcom Holliston is the first original commission for FearNet. It is, in some respects, a reworking of a reworking of Green’s first feature, the $400-budgeted Coffee & Donuts. That picture has gone essentially unseen since it was made over a decade ago – though I can’t help but hope it will at least…
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one charming young man, and a talented actor to boot. Of course, it doesn’t end there. For his next trick, Gordon-Levitt is to star in a film that he is himself directing, and which he has also written. He’s cast himself as a Don Juan figure, and cast Scarlett Johansson as one…
Sure, it’s a film from somebody inside Hollywood all about Hollywood – but it’s actually funny.
Some pictures for you. None of that tricky reading required.
Got to have the Hulk at the back because he’s so big, and Captain America at the front because he’s, like, the protagonist, and then Thor and Iron Man they have their own movies, so put them behind Captain America, Iron Man on the right because Downey is the bigger star. And then… oh, Hawkeye…

Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it?
In yesterday’s webchat (referred to earlier), Alan Moore revealed that the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to follow the conclusion of Century this summer, is to be called Nemo: Heart Of Ice, and that forty of the forty-eight pages involved have been written so far… and that we’ll see it before the end of…

Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well.
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
