[Rumor] Alex Pettyfer read for Star Wars: Episode VII

I sure hope this one is a rumor that stays a rumor.

Word on the internets is that Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) has read for an undisclosed role rumored to be Luke Skywalker's son. This comes about after Ryan Gosling declined a role. Also rumored to have read for the role of Leia and Han's daughter is Rachel Hurd-Wood (Solomon Kane).

Stan Lee will not appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past

However, Lee will not have a cameo in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron not based off comic arc

Or so Joss Whedon says. Now bear in mind this is the same guy who assured us Iron Man 3 wouldn't have the Iron Patriot, so I take what he says with a grain of salt.

But on with it... Joss Whedon has said that the upcoming Avengers sequel, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, will not be based off the Age of Ultron comic arc where Wolverine and the Invisible Woman are sent into the past to kill Ant-Man

SDCC: First image from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

We got our first image of Caesar from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Such a tongue twister.




Director Matt Reeves warned guests at Comic-Con that the footage of the apes was limited due to the fact that it takes 10-12 weeks to render a single ape, but we do have enough to see Caesar wearing some war paint. I still think the apes look ridiculously real. I am excited for this one.

SDCC: Thor: The Dark World brings Loki back once more

We managed to get a new trailer for Thor: The Dark World at Comic-Con but that was about it. And that should be taken literally.

However, the trailer did come in style. Kevin Feige brought in Tom Hiddleston as Loki for the last time to present the trailer. I found the Loki introduction on

SDCC: Catching Fire Comic-Con trailer premieres

The new Comic-Con trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is upon us!





 I honestly think it's better than the first trailer we got. I want to see more of the other victors, but at the same time I like that they focused on Katniss and Peeta. I still highly encourage everyone to read the books prior to seeing the movie.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22nd.

SDCC: Kick-Ass 2: Extended NSFW Trailer Premieres

We have a new, extended trailer for Kick-Ass 2 straight from Comic-Con in San Diego. It is branded NSFW primarily due to violence and language, but other than that it's good to go. I personally think it is a bit too long and it probably showed a majority of cool stuff in the movie, but that is pretty much what trailers do these days.

I said the preview sounded bad and you know what? The whole song sounds just as bad. I hope the whole album doesn't sound like this. It's boring, the drums are ridiculously repetitive, and it's the worst chorus. People are blaming the fact that The Rev is gone, but come on. Even the non-single songs

There is something odd about this poster to me. I don't know if it just doesn't look real or whether it's the fact that they gave Katniss angel wings. In reality I think it just looks a little too retro for the logo and for the film itself. It takes away from the feeling the first poster gave us.

This has been a pretty slow week so far, but we got word today that The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, will open the 2013 Cannes Film Festival in France.

Teaser for The Hangover Part III finally surfaces

I feel like I should be excited... but I'm not.





Don't get me wrong, I loved the first Hangover movie. It was hilarious. I just hated The Hangover Part II so much. It was a carbon copy of the first one only in a different location. I am hoping this one will be different, but I am not expecting too much.

Joss Whedon shoots down Planet Hulk rumors

Joss Whedon, the director of The Avengers, was asked about the rumored "Planet Hulk" story arc involvement for a future Hulk movie. In an interview with IGN this is pretty much what he had to say:

"Well, I'm really not supposed to comment, but no, that's nonsense."

So that pretty much shoots my entire prediction for the future of the Hulk right in the damn foot. Thank you, Joss. I'm going to go

Insidious 2 delayed until September

These delays and schedule shifts are killing me. It's starting to get ridiculous.

Insidious 2 was originally set to be released in August 30, 2013 but it will now be released on September 20, 2013... well, I guess I should say "supposed to be released on." For all we know they could decide to delay this until 2014 at the last minute.
