‘Captain America’ Script Praised by Joe Quesada

captain_americascript

The First Avenger: Captain America is coming together, most importantly the script is nearing completion. It’s getting rave reviews from Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada. Here’s what he said about it:

“I’ve seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it’s going to rock everyone’s socks off,” Quesada said. “It’s very unexpected, the kind of movie it is.” He added that “Captain America” sets up The Avengers in “a fantastic way” and also mentioned that there is an undisclosed wish list of actors to play the superhero.

Paramount and Marvel Studios are planning a July 22, 2011 release date for the Joe Johnston-directed “Captain America,” which will be followed by The Avengers on May 4, 2012.

Good to hear there is quality to this script, this is one of those movies that would be really easy to screw up given the general campy-ness of the character in general. It will be really interesting to see how this turns out.

‘Ghost Rider 2′ Aiming to Burn Up the Big Screen Again

f_ghostrider2m_cf3c3a5

That’s right a sequel to the film Ghost Rider has been confirmed and is going into development.

Columbia Pictures has begun to rev the throttle on a second installment of the Marvel Comics character “Ghost Rider.”

David Goyer is in early talks to create the story and supervise writers for a film expected to once again star Nicolas Cage, who played the highly flammable cyclist in the 2007 original.

Through a spokesperson, Goyer said he hadn’t signed on yet. But plans are already under way to base the sequel on a “Ghost Rider” script written years ago by Goyer, whose superhero work includes hit screen transfers of DC’s “Batman Begins” and Marvel’s “Blade” franchise. The original “Ghost Rider” was scripted by director Mark Steven Johnson.

The first film was such trash to me that the prospect of a sequel spurs a regurgitative feeling. I really hope they don’t bring Nicholas Cage back.

New Female Villain Cast in ‘Thor’

jaimie1colm-feore-1

There are two new faces cast in the upcoming film Thor, Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore.

Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore are coming aboard the Marvel Studios adaptation of its comic book featuring the Norse god of thunder. Kenneth Branagh is directing.

Alexander and Feore join Chris Hemsworth, already cast as Thor; Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, the god of mischief who serves as the movie’s villain; and Natalie Portman is Thor’s human love, Jane Foster.

In Marvel’s epic fantasy, Alexander is playing Sif, a skilled Asgardian warrior who can hold her own against any man. She also is one of Thor’s loves.

Feore’s character is shrouded in mystery — the studio isn’t even sending the actors the script — though it is known to be a villain.

The movie’s story centers on Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions re-ignite an ancient war. As punishment, Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans. Once here, he learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends dark forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

No word on what Colm Feore is playing, but it’s nice to see the cast getting closer to completion. This is going to be a hard movie to pull off, I’m very curious to see how it turns out.

Bad News, ‘Wolverine’ Director Wants ‘X-Men Origins: Magneto’

300px-magnetojpg1

Gavin Hood, who directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine wants to direct X-Men Origins: Magneto.

…against the wishes of people who paid to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hood has expressed interest in the next installment of the series, X-Men Origins: Magneto. Talking to MTV, Hood said, “Absolutely, if I was asked I’d take an interest.” He continued, “But the truth is I haven’t been asked, and I think that the studio right now is waiting to see how we do with the [X-Men Origins: Wolverine] DVDs, and who knows where we’ll all be if and when a [Wolverine 2] script is ready.” He goes on to talk about the psychological complexity of Magneto as a character.

I’m going to guess that the studio hasn’t asked him to jump on board for a reason. For one, they’ve got comic movie god, David Goyer on deck ready to take over the project. For those who have forgotten, Goyer was half responsible for the scripts of both Batman Beginsand The Dark Knight.

I really hope they don’t give it to Hood, I thought Wolverine was severely lacking. Magneto needs a better director attached, here’s hoping it’s better than the last film.

‘X-Men: First Class’ Starts Shooting in Early 2010

x_men_first_class_01tim-pocock

So it looks like X-Men: First Class is going to start shooting sometime next year.

Tim Pocock, who played the young Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has revealed that he will reprise the role in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: First Class.

“Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010…then X-men first class,” he said on his Twitteraccount. “Wolverine” producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently hinted that a new “X-Men” movie would start production in 2010.

Written by Josh Schwartz, the film will likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006.

If it’s anything like X-Men Origins: Wolverine it’s not going to impress me. I’ve really lost interest in these X-Men movies since the last two came out. they just don’t have the same quality as the first two films which Bryan Singer (Valkyrie) directed.

‘Spider-Man 4′ Getting Second Re-Write by Gary Ross

spiderman-4

Spider-Man 4 is getting re-written again, this time by Gary Ross, director of Seabiscuit and Pleasantville.

Sam Raimi will again direct the Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios project that will go into production early next year.

The Spider-Man 4 script was originally written by James Vanderbilt, and then rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire.

The fourth installment is scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release.

I’m hoping with all of these re-writes it’s going to come out better than Spider-Man 3, that was a terrible movie.

Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in ‘Iron Man 2′ (Image)

whiplashtease

Here’s the first shot of Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash in the upcoming film Iron Man 2.

Whiplash sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man. “The technologies are definitely related, and that’s part of the core theme of the film,” says Favreau.

The character’s alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who, Favreau says, “has constructed his own version of a suit.” Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit’s glowing chest piece. Whiplash “is going to light them up,” says Rourke.

Looks cool, but this is really just a tiny little taste of what’s in store for this mega sequel. Rourke is certainly up for the task.

New ‘Spider-Man 4′ Poster Exposed as a Fake

spidey4fakeposter

This poster for Spider-Man 4 which hit the internet yesterday is evidently a fake! 

On Wednesday, Ain’t It Cool News posted this teaser poster for Spider-Man 4 that is on display at the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas this week. While we no doubt believe that the poster is hanging at the Expo (to not discredit AICN’s story), official sources are telling us that this poster was not created by Sony Pictures or Marvel Studios for the fourth film. It is indeed fake and no official artwork has been released yet for the movie.

Makes sense, I would think Marvel would create something at least a little more interesting than a big #4.

Loki Talks ‘Thor’

hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston is set to star as Thor’s nemesis in the upcoming Marvel comic movie, Thor. Here’s what he said about the role. 

Tom Hiddleston played the bad guy all the time when he was a kid. ‘Me, my sisters and my cousins would put these plays on at the end of the summer and I would always be Captain Hook,’ Tom told me.

‘Loki’s like a comic book version of Edmund in King Lear, but nastier,’ Tom observed.

How much nastier? ‘Well, Loki’s skilled in black magic and scorcery. He’s a shape-shifter and has all sorts of super powers from the dark arts. He can turn clouds into dragons, things like that.’

Between now and January, when Thor begins shooting, Tom has to keep himself fit and healthy.

‘Ken wants Loki to have a lean and hungry look, like Cassius in Julius Caesar. Physically, he can’t be posing as Thor.’

This is one of those movies that will really have to be right on the comic book money if people are going to buy it. These are some pretty big characters squeezed into a much smaller scale, hopefully they can pull it off.

‘Thor’ Gets a Nemesis

chris-hemsworthhid

The new film Thor has locked down an actor to play Loki, Thor’s nemesis. 

The cast for ”Thor” is starting to fall into place this week, with Tom Hiddleston tapped to play Loki, the mischievous foe of the god of thunder.

Announcement of the up-and-coming British thesp follows Marvel Studios’ recent decision to make Chris Hemsworth, currently seen in ”Star Trek,” its hammer-wielding superhero.

Nicknamed the god of lies and mischief, Loki uses his talents at sorcery to try to kill Thor, his more powerful brother, whom he resents.

Hope these guys can really express the botherly distain for each other in the movie.

Megan Fox to Play She-Hulk?

megan-fox-hot

Rumors are flying around that Megan Fox could star as She-Hulk in an upcoming feature. 

Megan Fox is being lined up to play She-Hulk.The ‘Transformers’ star is the favourite to portray the giant green female in the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series about The Incredible Hulk’s cousin. A source said: “‘She-Hulk‘ comics are popular so it’s only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen. 

Sounds like a strange concept, but I don’t doubt the marketability of Megan Fox in that kind of role.
