‘Watchmen’ adds one more at Comic-Con
After the rest of the major cast was leaked onto the Internet, only one question was left in terms of casting Watchmen: “Who is going to play The Comedian?” A few names were thrown around including Snyder’s 300 star Gerard Butler and The Punisher Tom Jane. In the end we get….a guy from Grey’s Anatomy. Here is The Comedian, Jeffrey Dean Morgan....
Read More‘Watchmen’ Cast So Far
Someone behind the film adaptation of Alan Moore’s seminal graphic novel Watchmen has been slowly and quietly leaking the film’s cast onto the Internet over the last few days. Watchmen is an unfilmable graphic novel, and the adaptation can only appear hollow in comparison. Still, I can’t take my eyes off of the production news. Zack Snyder of 300 and Dawn of the Dead (2004) directs the film. Here’s the cast as it stands today: Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan Matthew Goode as Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias Patrick Wilson as Nite Owl Malin Ackerman as Silk Spectre/Sally Jupiter We’ll see how this one works out, but as of right now, I’m very skeptical. VERY SKEPTICAL. Expect Snyder to announce the rest of the cast at San Diego Comic...
Read MorePathfinder – Unrated Edition on DVD July 31
I live by a simple rule: there’s no such thing as bad publicity. With that in mind, let’s see what the metacritics.com critics had to say about Pathfinder, which debuts on DVD at the end of the month. The 0/100 reviews: “No more than a minute into this, and it becomes obvious that the next 98 are going to be trouble.” – San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle “Here’s my nomination for future grindhouse double-bill from hell: Pathfinder and Apocalypto.” – Baltimore Sun, Michael Sragow The 20/100 reviews: “Makes Conan the Barbarian seem like Dostoyevsky in its complexity.” – Washington Post, Stephen Hunter “The director, Marcus Nispel, takes his butchery very seriously. (He was the lead vivisectionist for the remake of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.) He may not be able to make this movie move, but, man, can he...
Read More‘Heroes’ Returns Sept. 24
Heroes fans only have to wait 10 more weeks until the premiere of the NBC superhero drama. The Peacock announced its fall schedule today with Heroes premiere date set for Monday, Sept. 24 at its usual 9 p.m. time slot. Heroes will provide the lead-in for the Alex Graves/Ken Falls sci-fi drama The Journeyman, which even with a Heroes lead-in, will probably be canceled. Seriously, a time travel drama? I’ll stick with Quantum Leap. If you haven’t seen Heroes: Season 1, you need to catch up. The best new show of last season comes out on DVD Aug....
Read MoreVid Pick: Slythoar’s ‘Attack of the Luna Moth’
Slythoar, a.k.a. Ben Folstein, is a revelation. His newest short recently popped up in my MySpace comments, and I must say, there is no better day than a day when a Slythoar film shows up unexpectedly on MySpace. It was even better than that day found a sack full of money and won a free baby liger. “Attack of the Luna Moth” is just that damn good. [youtube...

Christopher Nolan and his writers appears to be going bat shit crazy when it comes to stuffing villains in the new Batman sequel. Aaron Eckhart, who plays, Harvey Dent in the new film told MTV’s Movie Blog that he will in fact appear as Two-Face in The Dark Knight: “I play Harvey Dent. Harvey Two-Face. They are both in the movie,” Eckhart revealed exclusively to MTV News.” Two-Face joins the rumored return of Scarecrow, who will be the first Batman villain to return in a franchise film. Okay, Bryan Singer. The gauntlet has been laid down. Let’s go freakin’ wild with The Man of...
