When word broke recently that not only had Warner Bros officially tapped David Ayer to do a Suicide Squad adaptation as part of their DC Comics lineup, but that they were also setting their sights on the very top of the Hollywood A-list when it came to casting, most fans experienced a mix of responses. Namely, “WHOO HOO!!” followed swiftly …
As a fan of both Jason Momoa (from his Stargate Atlantis days already) and Aquaman, when I first heard the rumour at the beginning of the year that the actor had been attached to play the king of Atlantis for Warner Bros\DC Comics, I got seriously pumped as I knew that Momoa had the badassness to do the character justice. …
Well, damn. Looks like it’s on now. Yesterday, Warner Bros essentially pulled off the modern Hollywood studio version of walking up to Marvel, slapping them in the face with a silk glove and declaring a duel when they released their DC Comics movie lineup all the way up to 2020. Not so much “pistols at dawn” as it is “Superheroes …
For a movie that only releases in 2016, we’ve (unofficially) heard and seen plenty of stories surrounding Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Comparatively, the movie that is hinted at in the post-colon bit of that cumbersome title, Justice League, has been relatively quiet on the rumour front. What we do know is that director Zack Snyder will be shooting …
Gritty. A word that seems to be on the lips of far too many producers and Hollywood execs these days, especially when it comes to Warner Bros’ DC Comics properties. We’ve recently heard the rumour that DC was going full gritty (you never go full gritty) by declaring a “No jokes” policy, which is rather silly as several of their …
I’m a hypocrite. Just the other day I was ragging on DC Comics for seemingly not having the faintest clue as to what they’re doing when it comes to TV adaptations of their titles. Every network and their dog are seemingly making their own adaptations, all separate from each other, which could lead to logistical nightmares and audience confusion down the …
Move over, Arrow. And The Flash. And Constantine. And Gotham. And maybe even Supergirl or whatever it will end up being called (probably something that tries too hard to be hip and clever like “Super. Girl.”). Oh and even Smallville, and Birds of Prey – that show that nobody watched but which Trevor keeps telling us was awesome. Yeah, all of you need to move the hell up. The reason for this mass …
Don’t let it ever be said that Hollywood lets a good idea go to waste. Now that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the top earning movie in the US for 2014, the opposition over at Warner Bros\DC Comics are apparently also on the hunt for their very own big superheroes-in-space movie. And may have found it in a bunch of …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
