New Avengers character posters unveiled
The Avengers plus Loki and Nick Fury. These look pretty nice. Even with the typography elements taking center stage in the design, ScarJo continues to exhibits awesome mastery of the butt-and-face first pose, while Mark Ruffalo as the Halk does not look like Zoolander, which is a big improvement. Sad that none of the guys are turned so we can see their butt. Especially Thor and Captain America.

Universal Studios head Ron Meyer is the longest serving studio head around; he's 67 and he's seen it all. So when he was hanging loose at the Savannah Film Festival, he was really hanging loose, admitting that the reason a lot of Uni's films failed at the box office was because...they stank.

Summit Entertainment has just announced that RED 2, the sequel to RED, will be released on August 2nd of 2013.

After many starts and stop -- an Albert Hughes directed version had the plug pulled after pre-production had already started earlier this year -- Warner Bros has greenlit a live action AKIRA remake again. This time Jaume Collet-Serra (ORPHAN) is set to direct. The movie apparently got new life after the budget was cut to a practically spartan $90 million.

Woot. Great reveal at the end. That said there's nothing incredibly spectacular in this trailer aside from the fact it's the friggin' Avengers. Like, if it was called...Thunderbirds, you'd think it was pretty typical. However, in Joss we trust.

A new international trailer for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN has just been released, and it's a lot more rock 'em, sock 'em than previous trailers, with punching, jumping, leaping, crouching, and other bursts of action that seem more typical of a Steven Spielberg film.

Leaked photos from the LA set of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (oh dear) finally reveal Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) with her cat ears in place, and all is right with the world, even if the above photo of Hathaway with co-star Christian Bale as Batman now sets off all kinds of alarm bells.

Vin Diesel has taken to Facebook (irony alert) to offer some morsels and concept art on a third outing for Riddick, his SF saga character. Although a lot of people liked the first action flick PITCH BLACK, an equal number disliked the trippy sequel, THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, which introduced air fairies, revolutions, bounty hunters, Lady Macbeth, Necromongers, and all sorts of other weird shit.
