Well here’s some fANTastic news! Last night Marvel officially updated their current Phase 3 plans to now include an Ant-Man sequel that will be titled Ant-Man and the Wasp! While Ant-Man may have had a production schedule rockier than Ben Grimm’s butt, I really enjoyed what director Peyton Reed and star/co-writer Paul Rudd eventually delivered. I certainly wasn’t alone in my praise …
Superhero comic books are a spandexed smorgasbord of different tones, themes and art directions, so it only makes sense that superhero comic book movies should follow suit. Except that they really haven’t though. Despite telling stories ranging from snarky techno-thrillers to pulpy WWII adventures to kooky space operas, Marvel Studios has developed a bit of a reputation for producing homogenous …
After that disastrous overly dour first trailer, it appears that Marvel have finally realized something about the upcoming Ant-Man: it’s kind of silly. Once they stopped trying to sell the shrinking hero as a serious character, everything about the troubled production suddenly started clicking into place, including that hilarious and greatly improved second trailer. Now a new extended TV spot …
The musical chairs fiasco that resulted from Edgar Wright departing Marvel’s Ant-Man is very well documented. What isn’t is just why Wright actually split. Sure we know the official version that his vision of the character – which he had begun working on back in 2006 before their even was a “Marvel Cinematic Universe” – just didn’t gel with what …
Let’s just be honest with each other for a second here: the first trailer for Ant-Man blew it. After a nearly flawless run when it came to building hype through incredible trailers, Marvel finally dropped the teeny tiny shrunken down ball with a tone-deaf, far too serious preview that showed off virtually none of the cool action we’ve been hearing …
To paraphrase the words of the greatest male model that cinema has ever seen, “WHAT IS THIS?! IS THIS A TRAILER FOR ANTS?!”. Over the weekend, Marvel announced that they would be unveiling the first full trailer for Ant-Man during tomorrow evening’s premiere of new TV series Agent Carter, which of course meant throwing out a couple teasers for said trailer first. But the House …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens mere moments after the previous film’s almost painfully frustrating cliffhanger ending, with the great dragon Smaug (voiced and mo-capped with delicious gusto by Benedict Cumberbatch) about to lay the draconian smack down on the innocent townspeople of Lake Town, merely for providing shelter to the band of dwarves who attempted to slay …
I’m still a tad bit bummed that we’ll never get to see Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man movie. But at the same time, I want to give director Peyton Reed a chance to make his own film, which will incorporate elements from the pre-production work that Wright put together. We’ll never know exactly what went on behind closed doors that saw Wright …
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
