For those of you in North America, this weekend marks the release of Iron Man 2! Leading off this ELO is Kate Mara. She briefly appears near the beginning of the film and that’s it. I know it’s a bit disappointing. I don’t know about you, but I certainly wouldn’t complain if Jon Favreau managed to somehow squeeze her in more scenes of the movie.
Oh by the way Friday Night Lights is back on NBC (Fridays at 8 pm), so remember to tune in folks!
After the jump another new J.J. Abrams project revealed, new Tron Legacy images, some Kick-Ass news, an awesome Street Fighter short film and the original Star Wars trilogy summarized in 2 minutes with Lego!
The release of this summer’s first blockbuster is bound to have some sneaky trailer attached to it. Like what he did in Cloverfield, J.J. Abrams released another secret project (tentatively titled “Super 8”) in front of Iron Man 2. This man seriously knows how to tease the audience and wet our appetites. (Collider)
Of course, speculations run wild. Here’s a collection of what’s been revealed about Super 8 so far. (Slashfilm)
Disney has released five new promo pictures for Tron Legacy. They look pretty good so far. Let’s hope the final product will live up to the hype when it hits theatres in December. (Filmofilia)
Prior to the release of the pictures of the Tron disc game (above), there was a new billboard featuring the new Light-car! (Worst Previews)
Men in Black 3D was announced not too long ago and now it has a release date! Mark your calendars folks, it’s going to hit theatres on May 25 2012. Will Smith is the only one locked in for the sequel so far… now the ball is in Tommy Lee Jones’ hands to see if the dynamic duo will make another repeat appearance. (Deadline)
FOX is moving forward with the prequel to Planet of the Apes. It will be titled ‘Rise of the Apes’ and is set to hit theatres June 24 2011. For the first time in franchise history, the apes will not be men in costumes. They will be entirely computer generated. Be very afraid. (Slashfilm)
Want to see the new Inception trailer? You’re going to have to play a game to get to it. (Mind Crime) If you’re too lazy, just sit and wait til it gets released.
There was wild speculation going on regarding whether Kick-Ass did well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. It now appears that it just might happen. If all goes to plan, expect to see Balls to the Wall in theatres in 2012. (Forces of Geek)
I know Hasbro has licensed the game Operation to other themes like Iron Man and such, but how about Kick-Ass? This will likely not hit the shelves of your local toy store, but it does look awesome. (Zero Lives)
Don’t freak out! Edgar Wright is only doing 3 more days of shooting for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Getting additional material is normal for a film. If those 3 days turned into 3 weeks, then you should be worried! (Slashfilm)
The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons finally reveal his take on the possibility of Comic-Con moving to Anaheim. (The Hollywood Reporter)
Looking forward to the film Machete? Well Robert Rodriguez has released an ‘illegal’ trailer for the upcoming film. (AICN) It certainly looks promising.
Before you get to see Danny Trejo as Machete, he’ll be appearing in Predators this July. Collider was quite impressed with what they saw at the set visit, so things are definitely looking up for this film. It’s a long read, but it’s worth it. (Collider)
Disappointed by the string of craptacular Street Fighter movies? Well Joey Ansah, the man who played the silent killer Desh in The Bourne Ultimatum, has come up with a short film that will blow the feature films out of the water. Go take a look for yourself! (Collider)
Horror remakes suck! I suppose it’s no surprise that the horror remake hate spreads to A Nightmare on Elm Street. Here’s 10 reasons why the movie sucked. (JoBlo)
Remember when Home Alone had a real time Twitter account over the Christmas break? Well Ferris Bueller now has one too! (Twitter)
Remember when Joaquin Phoenix retired from acting and decided to turn into a rapper? Well it’s all part of a mockumentary and now it’s being shopped around for a distributor! (Deadline)
Now this is low. After Conan O’Brien appeared on 60 Minutes to talk about the late night debacle at NBC, Jay Leno responds with a pot-shot at Conan. Not cool Jay. Not cool at all. (The Daily What)
Betty White appeared on Jimmy Fallon recently and was up for a rematch of beer pong. Now the last time she faced off against Fallon, she lost. Curious to see how she did this time? (NBC)
Billboard lists out the most successful American Idols (contestants) of all time! I just find it funny that William Hung managed to crack the list. (Billboard)
Did you guys catch the most awesome episode of Community that just aired on Thursday? It was just brilliant. (E! Online) If you happen to miss it, you can catch a recap here. (Entertainment Weekly)
There’s got to be someone at the CBS office kicking him/herself over cancelling Moonlight a few years back. Given the new vampire phenomenon, they could have had another hit on their hands. Anyway, the CW has decided to reair the series over the summer due to their lack of programming. Would it be sad if a cancelled show manages to outperform their original programming? Now that’s something that would be nice to see. (Zap2it)
Many websites are hosting ‘Save Our Show’ campaigns in light of the upcoming upfronts from the networks. Yes, whether a bubble show gets canned or renewed will be revealed shortly. In the meantime, let’s take a look a slightly different poll. It’s the “Don’t Save Their Show” poll. (TV by the Numbers)
This is for Friday Night Lights fans. Good thing the show was renewed for 2 seasons because it premiered to fairly low numbers last night. (TV by the Numbers) I think it’s rather unfortunate that a show like Wife Swap managed to beat it.
The folks at College Humor are at it again. This time it features a parody of Inglourious Basterds. Now imagine Christopher Waltz’s character Hans Landa as a person that is really nit picky about grammar (which shouldn’t be hard since he does speak several languages). So here’s a clip of Grammar Nazis. (College Humor)
This kid must have quite the Lego set to get this done. Anyway, if you’re never into watching the entire original Star Wars trilogy, fear not, here’s a quick Lego-themed summary of the movie done in 2 minutes and 13 seconds. I must say, it’s quite impressive and a lot was covered in such a short period of time.
