It sort of feels like whatever story comes after this morning’s massive Lucasfilm/Star Wars news is probably going to get lost in all the geek chatter today, so in the interests of getting heard I’m going to write this next sentence all in caps – those of you with a delicate constitution may want to avert your eyes.

Until The Avengers hulk-smashed their way into my geeky heart, X-Men: First Class was my favourite of the Marvel comics based movies, and a lot of that had to do with the stylish direction of Kick-Ass (adjective or movie title, use as you feel fit) director Matthew Vaughn. He produced an incredible film under really tough conditions with First Class (he only …
Christopher Nolan brought a breath of fresh air to the Batman franchise back in 2005 with Batman Begins. Modern, edgy and cool, that film and its two sequels wiped the horrid taste of George Clooney and his bat-nipples from our mouths. That trilogy is over now, and you can bet your batmobile that a new set of films are only …
We’ve been hearing the rumours for months now already, with all the comic book fanboys drooling in anticipation like bulldogs in front of a juicy steak, and now we finally have official confirmation. The First Class sequel will be titled X-Men: Days of Future Past. Not only that, but we may just be in for a crossover with the original X-Men movies. …

Based on Mark Millar’s ultra-violent comic, the original film also helped catapult Chloe Moretz into super-stardom with her foul-mouthed turn as the 12-year old vigilante, Hit-Girl. …
It’s been touch and go for a while, but it looks like comic book artist John Romita Jr’s hasn’t just been sniffing his own ink too long and that his claims that the sequel to 2010 cult hit Kick-Ass is finally moving forward, is actually coming true. THR is reporting that Matthew Vaughn, who directed, produced and self-financed the hardcore comic book …
X-Men: First Class was a movie that really should not have worked. Rebooting the history of an established franchise was already a tricky endeavour, but even more so for director Matthew Vaughn who faced a studio mandated release date before any work had even begun, leaving him with a mere 4 months to produce a film.
