This year looks set to be the first in four years not to break records in terms of box office receipts, despite price hikes for IMAX and 3D movies. How did this happen – and what can be done to make sure it doesn’t happen again next year?
I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I think that Marvel’s Black Widow is the most important female super-hero out there right now. It’s not because of her powers, or because of her history, but because she’s looking like the most likely candidate for first female super-hero to get her own movie anytime soon, now that DC has seemingly relegated Wonder Woman to television. Is it just me, or is something wrong with this picture?
The actor/director tells Spinoff Online he would be interested in seeking out more of author Chuck Palahniuk’s material. Gregg directed 2008′s Choke, one of just two films based on the writer’s work.
Here’s a weird surprise: The most illegally downloaded movie of the week? It’s not Iron Man 2, which makes its debut in the chart at #2, behind another new entry… One that wasn’t actually that big a hit at the box office.
For those with the time, patience or just plain cheats to accomplish it, it’s beginning to look as if the Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray package will include an early glimpse as Tony Stark’s fellow Avengers…
Expectations are already high for next year’s Green Lantern movie, with fans excited to see how Ryan Reynolds does in the role of test pilot-turned-space cop Hal Jordan, and whether the movie will be able to kickstart a DC Comics movieverse in the same way that Marvel’s Iron Man is leading to The Avengers. But am I the only person who worries that Green Lantern has somehow skipped to its own sequel?
Waiting to see Tony Stark appear in Thor or The First Avenger: Captain America? You might want to save yourself the disappointment; director Jon Favreau has confirmed that movie audiences won’t see the character again until 2012′s Avengers.
A 25-year-old fitness consultant created his very own War Machine armor based on its Iron Man 2 appearance, complete with a motorized faceplate and a spinning Gatling gun.
Is Nick Fury about to get his day in the sun? Samuel L. Jackson is definitely dropping hints that his Marvel character might get a movie all to his own secret spy organization.
Iron Man 2 may not have made box office history with its opening weekend, but that doesn’t mean that everyone involved shouldn’t be very happy with how it performed.
Without doing anything other than opening at midnight showings tonight, Iron Man 2 is already set for the record books. But why?
Eagle-eyed fans caught Captain America’s shield in the background of the first Iron Man movie, leading everyone to expect more revelations about the star-spangled Avenger in the about-to-be-released second go-around. Only thing is, as director Jon Favreau explains, maybe we weren’t really meant to see it there in the first place.
