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.

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 –…
If you never got to ride the original Disneyland Star Wars attraction, Star Tours before it was ripped out and replaced, this is probably as good a simulation as you’ll be seeing any time soon. Because you’ll be taking the ride at home, everything has been recreated in CG, and not just the on-screen action….
There’s not yet been a trailer for The Tall Man, but here’s the first teaser, of sorts. You’ll not want to listen to the soundtrack, though…
My hunch is that Peter Jackson’s casting agent really likes British comedy. Indeed, I believe that Bill Bailey, Johnny Vegas and Alan Davies all auditioned for The Lord of the Rings, or The Hobbit or both, but none of them won a role. But the Big Yin did.
With pre-sales about to get rolling at the EFM in Berlin, Zentropa have issued an official blurb for Lars Von Trier‘s quasi-pornographic Nymphomaniac. It’s written as, more or less, a front line commercial for an unmade film, devised to draw in potential distributors. Here it is in full: Nymphomaniac is the light and poetic story…
Fox have announced the end of their tremendously successful “Sherlock Holmes in a hospital” drama, House MD. Mrs. C and myself just finished watching the Blu-rays of season seven over the weekend, and despite a few missteps here and there, thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Indeed, we could say much the same for the first…
Note: Already-revealed spoilers ahead, alongside new, and appealing info.
There’s only one way to get to the bottom of Ridley Scott rumours, and that’s to go to Ridley Scott.
The Burt Reynolds movie Heat was adapted by William Goldman from his own novel and, yeah, I’ve always been quite fond of it. Compared to The Princess Bride, Butch and Sundance, Marathon Man or All The President’s Men, it’s clearly not Goldman at his best, but it’s certainly not a terrible film, despite the troubled…
Linda Ge writes for Bleeding Cool. After the unexpected surprise success of Daniel Radcliffe horror flick The Woman in Black last weekend, it looks like the industry is suddenly keen to greenlight more horror projects that went unproduced before. Hammer, the genre arm of Exclusive Media and the studio behind The Woman in Black, are…
Coming over the next 24 hours, an awful lot of coverage of The Woman In Black, with a masterclass in creeping out the audience from Jane Goldman, James Watkins and Susan Hill; and a chat with Hammer CEO Simon Oakes about the company’s position in the horror market, their respect for the past and plans…
Another Wednesday, another set of MPAA ratings from the guys at CARA. This week, however, a real surprise nestled away near the bottom. Newly awarded a G rating is a new Disney submission, Paperman. The only information given is that it’s a “short subject.” Luckily, Google exists. What I managed to find so far are…
The Bourne Legacy has been directed by Tony Gilroy, the one man to have played a part in the writing of all three previous Bourne movies, and also the director of Michael Clayton and Duplicity, both of which I rater liked. This time, there’s no Jason Bourne, just his… er… Legacy. Let’s see what that…

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…
