Sharlto Copley May Star Opposite Angelina Jolie In 'Maleficent'

Posted 5/4/12 1:56 pm EST by in News


Sharlto Copley

It's been a busy week for Sharlto Copley. After being officially confirmed as the villain in "Oldboy" yesterday, we've now just found out that he's in talks to star in another big budget adaptation.

Deadline is reporting that Copley is in talks to play King Stefan, the father of Aurora, in Disney's upcoming "Sleeping Beauty" retelling, "Maleficent." Though the character didn't have that big of a role in Disney's animated take on the tale, our guess is that he will come a bit more front and center in this film, perhaps in a way similar to Sean Bean's role as the king in "Mirror, Mirror."

Posted 5/4/12 1:00 pm EST by in Five Reasons, Reviews


Avengers Banner

In all honesty, you probably already seen or have plans to see "The Avengers." You've watched the each one of the Marvel movies and waited around until after the credits, maybe not understanding the references, but always looking them up on Wikipedia to learn more. All of this has led up to the day when these heroes would cross paths and make one hell of a movie.

That day is today, and boy, does the film live up to everything you hoped it would be. It's exciting, funny and pitch-perfect, a combination most summer blockbuster struggle to get right. Director Joss Whedon took on an enormous responsibility and delivered like few other filmmakers could.

The Fenix Rizes In New Tenacious D Video

Posted 5/4/12 12:30 pm EST by in Humor, Video


Tenacious D

When you think about a Tenacious D music video, a few things come to mind. There will likely be some fantasy elements like in the devil in "Tribute." You could also probably bet on a sword showing up, like in the "Lord of the Rings"-inspired "Wonderboy" video.

For their latest video effort, "Rize of the Fenix," the D has thrown just about everything in the repertoire together to make the ultimate special effects video experience.

Scoop up the puddle on the floor that used to be your brain, and click after the jump to see the entire video.

May The Fourth Be With You!: In Defense Of Luke Skywalker

Posted 5/4/12 12:20 pm EST by in Commentary


Earlier this year, before the theatrical release of "The Phantom Menace" in 3-D, we asked various famous folks who their favorite Star Wars characters are. The list included Darth Maul, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Jabba, Lando, Bossk, Dengar, Dr. Evazan and, of course, Boba Fett.

Not one person mentioned Luke Skywalker.

So, for this May the Fourth, otherwise known as Luke Skywalker Day, I set out to discover why. Luke Skywalker, the man who rescued Princess Leia, destroyed the Death Star, freed Han from his dismal existence as wall art, and stood up to the Emperor himself, is undervalued, disrespected, and—though it pains me to write it—unloved. How is this possible?

Like we said, he's a busy man, and today brings us more news on yet another Lindelof-related project, the mysterious feature "1952," of which we first caught wind last June.

According to Deadline, Disney has asked "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" director Brad Bird to helm the large-scale adventure, which the studio has hopes to make a tent pole film with multi-platform possibilities.

'Expendables 2' Trailer Marries A Man To A Knife

Posted 5/3/12 2:37 pm EST by in News, Trailers


Chuck Norris Expendables

If don't want to live in a world where Jason Statham can pronounce a couple "man and knife," the new trailer for "The Expendables 2" is probably not for you.

The trailer is essentially everything you expect it to be, with a few wonderful bonuses sprinkled in.

After a mostly teasing first trailer, this new preview from IGN gives a better sense of how the all-star casts of action heroes arrange themselves. Sylvester Stallone is back as the leader of the gang. Bruce Willis is the reluctant third party. Jean-Claude Van Damm appears to be the bad guy, and Chuck Norris is just Chuck Norris.
