Legendary producer, Frank Marshall has worked on every ‘Indiana Jones’ film to date and Marshall is set to work on the fifth film. The producer spoke with Total Film about recasting Indy.
“There are a lot of rumors. We haven’t even sat down to talk about Indy yet. At some point we’ll sit down. But there’s a bunch of people who could probably take the baton. [We’re] not doing the Bond thing where we’re going to call somebody else Indiana Jones… we have to figure this out,” said Marshall.
Well, that is interesting. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, but it’s a fact of life that we get old and a 73-year-old man trying to run away from the Nazis is going to need to have some epic writing to be a successful film. The phrase, “beating a dead horse” comes to mind.
With that said, the studio shouldn’t just recast an iconic character with the flavor of the week in Chris Pratt. As great as Pratt was in Guardians of the Galaxy, the actor is too goofy and would have a tough time pulling off an archaeologist. You never know, Hollywood does have a track record of putting hot girls in glasses and calling them scientists.
What do you think: Do you want Harrison Ford to come back or should they recast the character?
Another satisfying episode of Gundam IBO, for the most part at least. Things are progressing nicely to where I’m just waiting on baited breath for the first bullet to fire. This episode is one of those breath holding episode’s which lays continues to lay groundwork for when the shit in Gundam IBO will go down.
Episode Summary
Orga is organizing things with the transport of Kudelia. Meanwhile Mikazuki, Kudelia and Biscuit are helping Biscuits grandma pick corn. Also it seems there is some discord in the ranks of Gallanhorn and a young officer Mcgillis is trying to get to the bottom of the attack that occurred on CGS.
Episode Thoughts
So last week I talked about how they were moving through slowly so we can get to know these characters when everything ready. Well its the same for this week. Although this week we get to look at a different perspective of the story. The blonde Gallanhorn officer Mcgiillis showed up a couple of times but now were getting to spend some time with him. Right now I don’t really know whether he’ll be a good guy or an enemy. It seems like he’s playing the fence and just wants to figure out whats going on with Gallanhorn’s dysfunction. His moral high ground is fresh considering the orphans lacking of said high ground, and Kudelia’s wishy-washy attitude. His character and position are made clear and his presence is interesting enough to stand against Orga and Mikazuki, good job.
Mikazuki is still as crazy as ever as he barely strangles Gaelio, Mcgillis’ escort, to death. I think they are hinting at his ruthlessness seeming from some sort of fear, but it’s really hard to tell. His conversations with Kudelia don’t really help either because they’re usually talking about her indecisiveness on what to do. Once we get some back story I’m sure all his actions will make more sense but for now its just compelling to see how far gone he is.
One thing I did notice this week is that there was a lot of off modeling and downgraded artwork. I think I remember Gundam 00 being this way in parts, but that was like six years ago. Gundam IBO seems to be looking worse than that at some points. It might be some production issues but if this continues its really going to bother me. It’s at the point where you can’t really avoid telling it looks shitty. If you’ve seen the episode you know what scenes I’m talking about.
Like I said this episode was a held breath before the exhale. It seems like their space ship is getting ready to move, so we should be getting into space soon. Plus our opposing main leads have met so we have some heavy conflict of morals sure to follow. Gundam IBO has built up some amazing characters and a great setting along with a plot that is all too easy to understand. Now we just have to wait how they do with some major conflicts. I have no doubt it will be amazing.
It appears John Wick 2 has its main villain, as Common has been tapped to play the baddie antagonist opposite Keanu Reeves.
According to the report in The Hollywood Reporter, Common has joined to play the head of a security team for a female crime lord, as yet to be cast. Very few details about the plot of John Wick 2 have been disclosed. Reeves did speak to Collider a few weeks back regarding the details of the story:
“I think we have a really good premise, and it’s an organic premise. It’s basically — to me there’s John Wick and then there’s John. You know, John is the married guy whose wife just died, and that five years of his life. Then there’s John Wick, who’s the mythical assassin. In this, John Wick’s past comes and infiltrates John’s life and John Wick, in a way, has to fight for John.”
Common, rapper turned actor, has been in his fair share of films over the last few years, including most recently Selma, Entourage, and Run All Night. He is also in the upcoming Suicide Squad film, out in August of 2016.
The Facebook page “Marvel and DC For Me” is using the crowdfunding apparel website TeeChip to sell shirts and hoodies with artwork lifted from DeviantArt without the artist’s permission.
Tom Kelly, a staple of artist alley in the Midwest, received a Facebook message from Brian Grabinski the showrunner of NWI Comic Con, informing him that a Facebook ad by “Marvel and DC For Me” appeared to be selling a shirt with his artwork on it. Kelly talked about the emotions he felt staring at his computer screen as someone else was profiting from his artwork.
“Surprised, irked and in a way flattered because I know they must have done some basic google search for Deadpool art so my art must have come up fairly quickly. Even the thieves liked my art enough to steal it. So a lot anger and a little pride. Like a 90-10 ratio of anger and flattery,” said Kelly.
Arian Noveir, a French artist that specializes in paint splatter superheroes confirmed through email that he did not give “Marvel and DC For Me” permission to use his Deadpool artwork as well.
“Marvel and DC For Me” is just a front to sell apparel through Facebook ads. There is no real website or contact information on their page. They did not return our request for comment. TeeChip even recommends that you advertise to increase sales of your t-shirt. Which brings Facebook to the table, as they are receiving advertising revenue from the sales of stolen artwork.
The first shirt “Marvel and DC For Me” produced has sold 2,458 pieces between $22.99 – $39.99 each. That’s somewhere between $56,509 and $98,295 not going to the artist! We have reached out the FBI to see if this is a federal crime due to the amount of the potential crime.
What makes TeeChip a shady operation is, as a user you can not see who you’re buying a shirt from. You can’t find the “Marvel and DC For Me” name or bio anywhere on the page. The only thing that links “Marvel and DC For Me” to the t-shirt is the Facebook post.
“Marvel and DC For Me” have 32,982 followers, which were probably bought using Facebook ads, but as a fan it is tough because you see an ad for a cool shirt and you want to buy it. Little do you know; the artist is receiving zero compensation for his/her work.
TeeChip, based out of Fremont, California, and when we reached out to them for comment, we were told to reach out to their sister company OOShirts. When we reached out to OOShirts for comment, they referred us back to TeeChip. What we did learn is that OOShirts does have an email to deal with copyright (copyright@ooshirts.com) and TeeChip has an escalations department (510-431-2744 / escalations@teechip.com)
At the time, this article was published Facebook, and the FBI had yet to respond to our inquiry.
If you are an artist that has had his or her artwork used by “Marvel and DC For Me” without your permission file a report wth the Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
After watching the Supergirl pilot, the only conclusion that can possibly be reached is we need to make room for another hero in our lives. Not every viewer will agree with this because, as it seems right now, we are besieged on the big and small screen with every superhero imaginable. Yet, just a few minutes into the Supergirl pilot, it was obvious that CBS has a hit on its hands. Maybe it has something to do with Greg Berlanti (who already has launched Arrow and the Flash for the CW network) being behind this series? Truthfully, the messages of self discovery and female empowerment were the most eye opening aspecs of this series debut. What held it together was the completely wonderful performance of Melissa Benoist. Who ever made the decision to cast her in the lead role for this series deserves kudos; it was her infectious charm that was clincher.
Kara Zor-EL, known on earth as Kara Danvers, was sent on a mission from Krypton to protect her baby cousin (Superman), but her ship got side tracked. By the time she reached Earth, Superman had grownup and no longer needed help. She tries to fit in by working at a newspaper conglomerate (sound familiar), while ignoring the romantic overtures of her friend Winn ( Jeremy Jordan) and possibly having a mad crush on her bosses latest hire, James Olsen (yes… it’s that James Olsen), who’s played by Mehcad Brooks. Even with everything going on, Kara feels hallow and wants to be something more, and when her sister (Chyler Leigh) is facing doom, she seizes the opportunity.
The plot of the pilot is simple, and justly so. The most important job this pilot has to do is establish Kara’s background story and set up who she’ll be facing. This was executed seamlessly and done in such a way that it will leave the viewers ready for episode two.
The cast was spot on, top to bottom. The audience will need to keep an eye out for a couple of cameos in the first ten minutes that will bring a smile to any Superhero fans’ face. Mechad Brooks and Jeremy Jordan are perfect in supporting roles, but again all of this would be one big one dumpster fire if it wasn’t for the performance of Melissa Benoist. In order for this show to work, it needed to have the right person in the title role or Supergirl would be gone faster than a speeding bullet. She is the reason why the pilot was successful and why this show will be around for the foreseeable future. Supergirl is a show that families and super fans around the world will love.
Episode 3 ‘Thank You’ of the sixth season of AMC’s The Walking Dead had one of the biggest shockers of an ending in recent seasons. The episode was so crazy that showrunner Scott M. Gimple released a statement on The Talking Dead.
Spoilers are forthcoming, turn back now!
“Dear fans of The Walking Dead, this is a hard story to tell and when we were planning to tell we knew our friends at the Talking Dead would be talking to you about it and knowing you’d all be talking, and feeling and commiserating, I knew we should say something about it lest our silence say something we didn’t mean to say or not say. So I’ll say this: In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again, either in flashback or in the current story to help complete the story,” said Gimple.
Do you think Glenn died last night?
Steven Yeun is still filming the second half of this season and to kill off a main character with such little fanfare would be a disservice to the series. The Hollywood Reporter is saying that say that Yeun recently signed a new deal to remain on the show which would indicate that he is alive as well.
From the teaser to next week’s episode ‘Here’s Not Here’ it looks like fans will not get many answers about Glenn as it appears to be about Morgan and how he found the group.
AMC even released the scene in question on Youtube to further fuel the speculation. Watch with caution…
Check out the latest images from anti-hero, action film Suicide Squad which were released by Empire Magazine.
The film is directed by Ayer and stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Oscar winner Jared Leto as the Joker, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.
Ben Affleck’s Batman will be featured in the film as this will be a follow-up to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
I’m just counting the days until Suicide Squad hits theaters on August 5.
I’ve given Comet Lucifer four chances now to really grab me and be interesting. I think that’s a fair amount. Alas, its four episodes in and it really doesn’t feel like its gone anywhere or feels like its going anywhere. The sad part is that it’s so painstakingly average that bashing the shit out of it isn’t even fun. Don’t worry though, I’ll try to make it as interesting as possible. Because though it may sound bad I haven’t fully given up on it yet.
Episode Summary
They start to fix the huge hole that Moura left in the roof in episode two. A huge typhoon is on its way and Don Mon freaks out about it. Everyone has a barbecue and has fun. Sogo and Kaon have to go to school, leaving Felia alone. While she’s alone Alfried and his gang capture her.
Episode Thoughts
One of the hardest part about coming up with stuff to write about Comet Lucifer is that nothing really happens to write about. At least nothing really positive. So instead of doing a things I liked and things I didn’t like format, I’m just going to go over all the problems I had with this episode. Sure I’m being a little impartial, but I’m at the point where I need to make this fun or else I won’t make it to the end of this stupid show. Keep in mind I’m still remaining optimistic but I don’t know for how long I can hold on.
So lets start with the typhoon. To me it’s another way to try to make tension that fails because we have no groundwork to make us care. Maybe if we knew even a hint about Do Mon’s past it would be concerning, but we don’t. It just looks stupid and pointless. Same goes for the barbecue, as far as I’m concerned the only reason they had that was to try to get as many characters together so you would remember who was who. It didn’t really serve any purpose, which is fine if the rest of your episode is going anywhere, but Comet Lucifer isn’t.
Everything that Afried and his gang did besides kidnap Felia was boring. I really didn’t think it would be as easy as “find her on a camera” but I guess it was. So now they know where she is and keep referring to her by a name that still means nothing to us. Also I find it stupid that Felia was captured as easily as she was. Do Mon was an idiot for thinking she could be left alone. Sogo and Kaon on the other hand are just stupid for deciding to go to school. Am I the only one who would be trying to figure out whats going on with this girl instead of going on with my everyday life?
The only hint of progression was the kidnapping of course, and Sogo and Felia’s little telepathy when she was in danger. Also Felia for some reason is attached to Sogo now. I was under the impression that she was being best friends with Kaon, but whatever. Sogo also had some half-character development when he talked about his parents or whatever. For now just useless information, which I’m sure will pay off later, but you gotta keep me interested enough to get to that point. Which Comet Lucifer isn’t.
For all the stupid things that happen in Comet Lucifer I still like the show on two merits. One is that is absolutely nuts in the way it ties plot lines together. Its like watching someone try to do cats cradle that has no idea what they’re doing. The other is Felia’s cuteness. Normally this wouldn’t be enough for me to continue watching, but I do want to see how crazy Comet Lucifer will end up. Hopefully you guys will join me on the ride.
Arrow stars Emily Bett Rickards and Colton Haynes got their Halloween on with a guest appearances from Chloe Bennet from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Austin Nichols from The Walking Dead.
Haynes put some solid work into his Ursula costume from The Little Mermaid. Rickards will turn some heads as Sailor Moon. Nichols gave fans a 70s reboot of Dirty Hair and Bennet was a sexy grocery bag?
The crew took tons of photos and were very proud of their costumes.
Back in August, during Wizard World Comic Con Chicago, Nathan Fillion said that he would be up for playing Booster Gold, the charismatic, and egotistical superhero from the future. Of course despite the awesomeness of Nathan Fillion, most of just assumed that this was just a fun little joke that would never see the light of day.
However, it didn’t stop most of us from thinking that if there was going to be a Booster Gold movie, it would have to have Blue Beetle. And it would be a lot of fun to see Fillion’s costar, Alan Tudyk, from Firefly and their latest series Con Man together as the original superhero bros. But again, this was something we never thought was going to happen.
Never say never my friends.
Soon after Fillion’s desire to play Booster Gold, reports came in of a Booster Gold Blue Beetle movie was in development. Casting ideas, and rumors ran out the gate, but people began to wonder, if Nathan Fillion was on board would his pal and costar Alan Tudyk be up for it also. Well at New York Comic Con Tudyk gave his two cents on the matter.
“Well, that’s great. If it’s working with Nathan, I’m in,” Tudyk said of the fan support, adding, “Also, being a bug for me? I’d like that. Roly-poly is nice. I’d like to be one of them. That’s what we called them back in Texas, but they’re almost a beetle.”
If this is the future of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, than this is going to be an amazing movie, and I personally can’t wait to see these two banter off each other next to the Justice League in the DC Exteded Universe.
But, what do you guys think? Are Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk your choices for Booster Gold and Blue Beetle? Or do you have other people in mind?
