Development Deal: Amelia Cole

If there’s one thing that a quick look at the current state of television and movies will tell you, it’s that there’s not much need for original ideas when there’s so much out there ready and waiting to be adapted, updated or just outright ripped off. That’s why we’ve decided to help in that process with a series that offers up some of the things we’d like to see being brought to big screen or small. This week’s suggestion? Amelia Cole and The Unknown World.

Trail With Inexplicable Prejudice  

Trail With Inexplicable Prejudice

Star Trek Into Darkness‘ trailer gives away too much! Man of Steel‘s trailer reveals that Pa Kent is an immoral bastard! Let’s face it, everyone: trailers are clearly ruining movies for everyone, right…? Or, perhaps, it’s just that we’ve all become so eager to have opinions on things as early as possible that we’ve stopped taking trailers at face value.

Do We Really Need To See Norman Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man 2?

The news that the sequel to this year’s The Amazing Spider-Man has found its Harry Osborn is another sign that we’re going to see the Green Goblin in the rebooted movie continuity before too long. Are the movies selling the Spider-Man mythos by returning to the same bad guys?

Did the <i>Man of Steel</i> Poster Have Anything to Do With <i>Justice League</i>  

Did the Man of Steel Poster Have Anything to Do With Justice League

As everyone on the Internet has already seen, Warner Bros. released a new poster for 2013′s Superman movie reboot, Man of Steel, yesterday – except that it didn’t do so in the traditional manner. Does the fact that one image of Superman in chains went around the web faster than a speeding bullet demonstrate that the world really wants to see a Superman movie?

When Is A Porn Copycat Too Much For A Movie Studio?  

When Is A Porn Copycat Too Much For A Movie Studio?

Color me ridiculously amused that the porn parody that has finally launched mainstream movie studios into litigation is a porno version of Fifty Shades of Grey. After all, if there was any movie that seems as if it should have a porn version, it’s that one… But perhaps that’s the point.

Let <i>Man of Steel</i> Start the DCU Anew For Movies  

Let Man of Steel Start the DCU Anew For Movies

So, maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt isn’t going to be in either Man of Steel or Justice League after all, with representatives for the actor telling reporters that initial rumors of his appearance in next year’s Superman movie aren’t true. As much as the fanboy inside me is saddened by this turn of events, part of me does wonder if isn’t for the best…
