Jamie Foxx is Electro TAS2

Jamie Foxx is Electro in The Amazing Spiderman 2

The Amazing Spiderman was a "watchable" film for any superhero lover however the last minute was the most dramatic and suspenseful moment for true die hard geeks, and even if the film did not ask any questions the last minute left many a question on our lips. Who was the man in the shadows?
Well although it is not definite, Jamie Foxx has been cast as Elector in the sequel, remember the lightening outside?! 
Although I believe the man was not Electro, it is an interesting villain choice for the sequel and could provide an interesting over half for Spiderman to battle with. and
Jamie Foxx has come out to talk about his costume by saying;
"It won't be green and yellow. It will be a different color," and
"[The producers] want something for the future. They want to have it more grounded and not as comic bookie, so it won’t be green and yellow"Where the film goes from here is unknown but it look likes it building up to be a better film than the first.

Expendables 3 - Jackie Chan!

Expendables 3 - Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan today confirmed not only the film Expendables 3 is in the works, but Jackie Chan is on to act along side the gang. 
Jackie Chan, while at a press release for his latest film; "Chinese Zodiac", said;

"Sly had invited me to be in `Expendables 2` but i was to busy filming `CZ12` and couldn't make a commitment to the film. But he extended his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more that just a minor role with a few scenes"

So when the gang will be reunited it unknown but seeming that the studio will want to milk this film for as long as they can, expect the film out roughly 2014, although if it was to come out in 2015 it would cement that year as the ultimate film year in history.

Justice League Vs Avengers

Justice League Vs Avengers

I could write for hours about millions of battles between Iron Man and Batman, Hulk vs Superman and Captain America vs the Amazonian Wonder, Wonder Woman, buts that's not the true battle going on here.
Its the battle of the box office.
2015 is shaping up to be the biggest year for superhero films ever, and I mean ever. Fantastic Four Reboot, Ant-Man, Avatar 2, The Hobbit 2 and most importantly Justice League and The Avengers 2. 
But who will win the battle of the superhero box office?

Marvel's Avengers is by far the most developed Series of Superhero films ever. Iron man 1,2 amd 3(2013), Captain America 1 and 2 (2014), Thor 1 and 2 (2013) and Guardians of the Galaxy. 
DC's Justice League is by the far the least developed Series of Superhero films ever. Man of Steel (2013).....That's it.

So come 2015 audiences are going to be excited possibly more by the new arrivial of a superhero clan, or will they prefer what they already know. We must wait and see!

GLaDOS in Pacific Rim?

GLaDOS in Pacific Rim?

Ever since first hearing about Pacific Rim I was intrigued. Sea monsters vs Robots, whats not to like. Since first hearing about it I have been long awaiting a great trailer to satisfy my need, of course its trailer did not only that but more. In it we got to hear the voice of the computer system. Computer system or should I say GLaDOS. They are one in the same. The voice is identical, even admitted to by the Director. Well what can I say. One of the most iconic and powerful "creatures" in gaming history in a trailer? It cant be correct.....can it?
All I can say is that if the Robotic "creature" is in fact GLaDOS I can assure you that many fan boys wont be sleeping until that film hits cinemas July 11th 2013 (a day after my birthday)

Man Of Steel Trailer Review


Man of Steel Trailer Review (1/2)

When hearing the first Man of Steel's trailer monologue, I was intrigued. Superman always, for me, was the light side of DC comics and was always not as serious or as important as the Dark Knight. This was cemented for me when Superman Returns came out and put Superman as the lighter side of DC compared to the dark reality of Batman Begins. 
However Man of Steel completely flips the coin and brings out the Superman I have longed for. A realistic, dark and human son of Krypton. The monologue and theme track supplied goose bumps to my back and made me shiver with excitement and pleasure, no sexual metaphor intended. This set the bench mark for all information released after about the Man of Steel, until I saw the second trailer. One word. Wow. The drama and suspense blew me away and upped the anti for what I am expecting from the film. 
In conclusion both trailers served as satisfying tasters for a film which day by day is looking better and better.
