Media Release

Sony Pictures announced today that Academy Award-nominated actor Tom Hardy has signed on to play Eddie Brock in their upcoming R-rated Marvel film Venom.

Media Release

Thanks to the latest issue of Empire Magazine, we have a first look at Michael Chernus (Orange is the New Black) as The Tinkerer.

Wonder Woman First Reactions Call It Dark, Funny and Powerful

Media Release

Finally, someone other than those pesky executives at Warner Bros. have seen Wonder Woman. And the response appears to be positive. Though, admittedly, these responses are clearly coming from some sort of Mommy blogger group and a handful of DC fan sites. And they’re not filled with the kind of enthusiasm that will have any doubters running out to theaters on opening day. Overall, they smell like ‘pat on the back’ reactions. It’s hard to tell how good the movie actually is, which seems to be par for the course…

Sony’s Venom Solo Film Gets Official Release Date

Media Release

Spider-Man’s popular nemesis is finally coming to the big screen. But would Venom even be an actual spin-off, or a stand-alone film?

Many previous attempts in launching a Spider-Man series of spin-offs, including Venom, have failed, no thanks to Sony’s rebooting the Spider-Man franchise twice. But now, not only is the Venom movie back on…

Kurt Russell Younger Didn’t Use CGI for Guardians

Walt

SPOILERS: According to Kurt Russel the younger version of himself as Ego was mostly make up and not CGI. It seems amazing what they can do these days with special effects and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 had a very life like younger version of Ego (Kurt Russell) in the earlier part of the movie. If it in fact is true that it was make up that made him younger it was an outstanding job of deception. You really thought you were looking at a younger version of…

ADAM WARLOCK, NATHAN FILLION Both Cut From GUARDIANS

Media Release

It seems as though a pair of fan favorites may have been cut out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as first Nathan Fillion, reported to be featured in a cameo as Simon Williams, posted a photo on Instagram possibly insinuating a scene with him will not make the final cut of the film. However given the wording of Fillion’s post, this could be a joke on his part and does, in a round-about way, confirm he was on-set and in costume for an unconfirmed role in the film.…
