Matthew Vaughn ( Layer Cake , Stardust ) recently spoke to Ain't It Cool News about his upcoming adaptation of the ultra-violent teen superhero comic book, Kick-Ass . The first ever footage of the movie will be shown during Comic-Con this year, but Vaughn has let out some details about the movie a few weeks in adva
Embrey brings him home and invites him in for dinner where Hancock meets Embrey's son and wife (Charlize Theron). Our hero is not accustomed to being around families in general or children in particular and has dinner conversation skills that leave a lot to be desired as far as Embrey's wife, Mary is concerned. She spends the evening looking at Hancock as someone she'd like to get away from her family A
Movies worth noting that are missing from that top 10 list include The Happening (huge stinker for Shyamalan), The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (couldn't bring myself to watch it), 10,000 B.C. (do I even need to comment on this one?), Speed Racer (LSD trip for kids), try Superheromoviespot.com and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (too niche, I suppo
The Dark Knight was this summer's box office juggernaut, and no doubt will be the year's biggest earner. The big surprise of the summer (and the film that kicked it all off) is Iron Man , which came in second and actually beat Indy 4 in the US! That speaks to both how great Iron Man was and how poor an addition the latest Indiana Jones movie was to the original tril
2008 delivered the kind of summer that superhero and action movie geeks dream of - this is the year that brought us three bonafide superhero movies: Iron Man , The Incredible Hulk and what was that third one… oh yeah: The Dark Knig
Now, I am an active and vocal promoter of the film, because…[Director Zack Snyder] through all the other people working on the movie…[are] totally committed to this…If at any point I felt that wasn’t the case, I would say so. I’m not being paid just to say good things about it. There’s no point in me saying that the movie’s really good if I didn’t genuinely believe that it was really good. So within myself, I can perfectly reconcile being friends with Alan and being involved in the film in the way that I am. I hope I’m being true and faithful to bot
As far as any future project, there’s just one particular thing that Alan has mentioned publicly, so I’m free to mention it. Alan and his friend Steve Moore (no relation) are going to do… I think it’s called „The Boys’ Book of Magick“ or „Everybody’s Book of Magick,“ …As you know, Alan has been very interested in magick (with a „k“) for a long while and he wants to do a primer that kind of brings magick out of the fusty, gothic area that it’s traditionally inhabited and make it something that’s a bit more light and a bit more accessible to modern readers. Some time ago, I agreed to do some illustrations for that…what they will be, I’m not sure, but I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Alan and Steve on that at some point in the fut
Dave Gibbons: …I am involved in reviewing various materials that are being produced in connection with the Watchmen movie…the motion comics…video games, new editions of the book, sculptures…I’m off in a few weeks to do a mini-tour with Zack to publicize the movie. I’m then doing a mini-tour of the UK to publicize the Watching the Watchmen book and a similar mini-tour of the US to do the same…I’ve also done pieces of licensing art, to get the definitive look of the movie characters…It’s often the case that this kind of work is done by people who aren’t connected with the original property, with the inevitable lack of authenticity and so on…hopefully my approach to it will filter through to the final products and they will be, to that degree, much more faithful to the original graphic no
(Image: https://www.freepixels.com/class=)Also, despite the „cool factor,“ Wanted didn't manage to beat underdog summer flick The Incredible Hulk . I guess more people thought it was ridiculous ( as I did ) than thought it was „awesome, dude!“. However superhero movie fans across the land can weep in unison at the fact that Hulk was not able to defeat three hip, New York City powershopping babes on the prowl for true l
The interview is being done in three installments, with Dave Gibbons responding to fan-generated questions. We here at Screen Rant have shaved Part 1 of the interview down into nifty little cliff notes for your quick-reading pleas
Dave Gibbons: First of all, I’d have to say that I don’t necessarily see that there is a conflict between staying friends with Alan and being an active and vocal promoter for the film…Alan has had some bad experiences with Hollywood. He’s also had some less-than-happy experiences with DC. He’s decided that he doesn’t want anything to do with movie adaptations of his work…When he first heard that [ Watchmen ] was going to be a movie, [he signed] a piece of paper which removed his name from the movie and [gave] his share of the income from the movie to me…Obviously, Alan made this decision before he really knew anything at all about the movie and it was long before shooting started,…it’s not as a reaction to this product
