As popular and successful as superhero films are these days, there’s occasionally one that completely fails in every way. And the latest to hold that reputation is Fantastic Four, Fox’s 2015 reboot of their live-action Fantastic Four series. And recently Miles Teller, who played Reed Richards in the film, decided to discuss its failure on the Happy Sad Confused podcast: “People think that when you make something like a Fantastic Four that doesn’t do well, people think ‘Oh you phoned it in’ and it couldn’t be more untrue. You work harder on the bad films, or the films that turn…

With Spider-Man now a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was only a matter of time before people started asking about the other missing Marvel characters… The X-Men. ComicPlanetCultureForLife.com seems to have insider info on an upcoming plan for Fox to lend the character rights for the X-Men to Marvel, which would result in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be complete for the first time ever. Their source suggests that, given the loss of interest in Fox’s X-Men series, Apocalypse will be the last Bryan Singer X-Men film, as well as the last X-Men film with Fox (for now),…

Relativity Media has been denied the right to make any new Crow movies by the Edward R. Pressman Film Corporation who produced the original film. This includes any sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, recalibrations, and so on. Also having this to say: “Notwithstanding the importance of Mr. Hardy as reflected by [Relativity] management’s securing and extending his services through the ‘holding deal,’ and notwithstanding the confidence in him shown by other studios, on or about January 27, 2016 – five days before the start of the confirmation hearings in the Relativity bankruptcy case – Mr. Dana Brunetti, purporting to act for…

DC is continuing their own cinematic universe, and TheWrap reports that Wonder Woman writer Jason Fuchs is penning a new Lobo movie to help expand it. The movie was in development back in 2012, but Jason Fuchs is writing an entirely new script from scratch and it’s not known if director Brad Peyton, who was attached to the original project, will be returning. Per the report: Insiders suggest that Fuchs will start from scratch with his own take on Lobo — an alien who works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter.

The new Ghostbusters film has divided the fans quite a bit, you either love it or hate it, and the trailer has seemed to get the same type of attention. Most recently, Kevin Smith announced his thoughts on the trailer for Hollywood Babble-On with Ralph Garman. And he’s made it particularly clear that he has no issues with the female cast and that he’s still open to the film: “It could’ve been all men with the same jokes, and it still would have duded. The trailer’s not strong, and that doesn’t mean the movie’s gonna blow, like again the f****** pedigree…

FOX released quite a few images on Friday morning for the upcoming Gotham episode “This Ball of Mud and Meanness”. One of the most interesting aspects is Lori Petty who has a scarred smile and green hair, making her look very familiar to Batman’s most famous villain – the Joker. The episode’s plot is as follows: Alfred and Selina help Bruce on his quest to find his parents’ killer, Matches Malone (guest star Michael Bowen). Meanwhile, Gordon follows up with Edward Nygma on Kristen Kringle’s whereabouts and Hugo Strange (guest star BD Wong) continues his treatment to reduce Penguin’s aggression.…

Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly has given his thoughts on the new Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. “If you loved Man of Steel, you’ll love BvS,” he said, while saying that if you didn’t like the ending of Man of Steel, “BvS may redeem that.” And if you weren’t fond of Man of Steel’s dark tone? “Probably not for you.” Finally, he added that Wonder Woman will be “fearsome” and that Batman and Superman will have “a moment” that will “make even the most cynical tear-up a little.” It sounds like Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will be an improvement over Man…

The Hollywood Reporter interviewed Frank Miller recently, and managed to ask him about a cancelled project with Darren Aronofsky. Miller revealed that the project was too dark for Warner Brothers at the time and had this to say about it: “It was the first time I worked on a Batman project with somebody whose vision of Batman was darker than mine. My Batman was too nice for him. We would argue about it, and I’d say, “Batman wouldn’t do that, he wouldn’t torture anybody,” and so on. We hashed out a screenplay, and we were wonderfully compensated, but then Warner Bros.…

Work has quickly accelerated on a new Hellraiser sequel titled Hellraiser: Judgement. And, thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, we have an idea of who to expect in the new movie. For starters, Paul T. Taylor has been announced to be the new Pinhead, taking the role over from Doug Bradley who refused to star. Gary Tunnicliffe called Taylor “a classically trained stage and film actor who brings a great physical presence and more than a hint of Peter Cushing and Ralph Fiennes.” Here he is: The film will also feature three detectives played by actors Damon Carney, Randy Wayne, and Alexandra Harris.…

April 11, 2016 is the starting date for production on Justice League: Part 1. Due to several casting and production notices, the working title was revealed to be “Caveman”. This is significant in that there’s a DC villain named Vandal Savage who was an immortal and has lived since the dawn of man, where he was a caveman granted strange powers by a fallen meteorite. It’s likely that the title Caveman is a reference to Savage, and we will see him in the upcoming film. Another interesting bit that was revealed is that one of the producers for the…
