THE AVENGERS: In This Together Now… Some More Than Others

Geeks — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:24:19 +0000

How awesome is this!? The creator of such cancelled gems as Firefly (Fox) Dollhouse (Fox) and Angel (Fox) now has the big screen bravado of Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark and Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury speaking his sarcastically delicious dialogue in the biggest superhero movie of all time. A helluva step up if you ask us.

Sure, it looks more like Iron Man 3 with some Chrises Evans and Hemsworth cameos, but you can’t help but love the way Tony admires Dr. Banner’s work.

Plus, Tony keeps wearing a Black Sabbath shirt, which is pure Iron Man.

A-TEAM PREVIEW: The Classic 4-Way Bromance of the 80′s

Geeks — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 06:15:57 +0000

When the film adaptation of the greatest action-comedy show of the 80′s is directed by a wild talent like Carnahan, you KNOW the A-Team will have some of the most off-the-hook action possible. But the A-Team was more than just guns and bombs, it was a group of four men who looked out for each other like brothers, and if we’re going to see Hannibal, Face, Murdock and B.A. come to life all over again on the big screen, Carnahan has his work cut out for him making that classic 4-way bromance sing.

With with Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, the Incredible Hulk’s pulse-pounder of a director, Louis Leterrier has managed to round up some of finest thespians to play the Gods of Mount Olympus and added to that the heir-apparent to the action-superstar mantle in Sam Worthington, all to be able to tell one of the oldest stories in Greek Mythology, and to remake the 1981 Clash of the Titans.

Nearly 70 years after Lon Chaney Jr. first howled at the moon, Benicio Del Toro is slipping into his signature hair, ears and underbite to bring the classic Universal monster to life in Joe Johnston’s remake of The Wolf Man. With Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt along for the ride, and the visual effects make-up artist behind The Howling and An American Werewolf in London, it looks like this remake has got some serious teeth.

SHERLOCK HOLMES PREVIEW: Victorian Street Elementary, My Dear Watson

Geeks — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:49:57 +0000

If you’re looking for a director who can completely erase stuffy, old British boredom, you don’t have to go any further than Guy Ritchie. And so giving him the reigns to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous Victorian detective seems like something of an inspired gamble. With Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law taking the roles of Holmes and Watson, and Canadian starlet Rachel McAdams playing a deliciously villainous love interest, the cast is as strong as the source material, but we’ll have to wait until Christmas to see what’s inside the packaging.
