A Russian engineering genius with a score to settle. An abandoned bear with vengeance stuffed deep inside of his heart. A young but bitter wizard trying to decide which path is righteous and which path is wrong.

These are just some of the bad guys battling it out for the Best Villain category at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this year, and based on the lineup of fearsome foes, it's not going to be a clean fight. Keep on reading for the full roster of this year's Best Villain nominees, then make sure to cast your vote for the winner today!

Tom Felton, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1"
The returning champ from last year's show, can Draco Malfoy win Best Villain again? Though the Slytherin loyalist has done some terrible things in his time, Draco is slowly inching towards the light — and with "Harry Potter" hurtling towards the finish line, one has to wonder if he'll be a villain for much longer.

'The Green Hornet' Trailer Wants You To Buy Seth Rogen As An Action Hero... So Do You?

Posted 6/22/10 2:10 pm EST by in Trailers


Seth Rogen: action hero. That's what director Michel Gondry's 2011 comic book blockbuster "The Green Hornet" wants you to be on board with. The new trailer, which debuted today on Yahoo!, is... actually pretty promising. I even chuckled out loud when Rogen shoots himself in the face with a gas gun. A nice mix of action and comedy, with brief glimpses of Christoph Waltz. What do you think?

Remember, the place for comic book and superhero movie coverage is MTV Splash Page. Head over there for the latest news and insightful commentary on "The Green Hornet" and anything else coming up in the world of comics.

MTV Splash Page Wants To Know Which 2010 Comic Book Movie You're Most Looking Forward To

Posted 12/2/09 11:30 am EST by in Poll


FROM SPLASH PAGE: As we approach the end of the year, it's nice to know we have a lot to look forward to in 2010 — at least as far as comic book movies go.

From "The Losers" and "Kick-Ass" in April to "Red" and "The Green Hornet" closing out the year, there's quite a bit going on next year with adaptations of comic book properties — including a few projects that don't have release dates yet. While the May arrival of "Iron Man 2" seems like a no-brainer for next year's most anticipated film, I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the other films with significant buzz around them (like "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," for example) have fans eagerly anticipating the end of '09 and the beginning of the next movie cycle.

So, what has you most excited for the onset of 2010 films? Is it the all-star cast of "Red"? Josh Brolin and Megan Fox doing a grim and gritty turn in "Jonah Hex"? The "Twilight"-meets-"True Blood" casting of "Priest"? Now's your chance to let us know what you're itching to know more about and finally see in theaters next year.

Posted 9/4/09 12:00 pm EST by in News


As if acquiring Marvel Entertainment wasn't news enough, Disney is making headlines once again -- this time, the company is targeting Seth Rogen.

No, Mickey Mouse and his pals aren't trying to break the "Superbad" comedian's knees or anything, but they are looking to outrace his upcoming action film, "The Green Hornet," with their very own movie, "Tron Legacy." It's been announced that the Disney-produced picture is set to open on December 17, 2010, the exact same date that the Rogen-starring "Hornet" is set to launch. Read More...

Seth Rogen On 'Apocalypse': 'We Have Not Written One Word Of That Movie'

Posted 8/11/09 11:00 am EST by in News


Seth RogenIf you’ve seen the hilarious trailer for “Jay and Seth Versus The Apocalypse,” you know that much of the humor in the semi-fake flick comes from the fact that the two roommates are stuck as “two guys” in “one room” after the end of the world as we know it. Now, as the duo have set out to make the movie for real, Jay Baruchel has been telling people, "I just can't believe people think the world wants to see the two of us sitting in an apartment during the apocalypse," and that the film will shoot in 2010. According to his future roomie, however, he’s wrong on both counts.

“I’ll be honest,” Seth Rogen said with a laugh when we asked him about the feature film version of “Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse” recently. “We have not written one word of that movie.” Read More...

Seth Rogen Being Careful Not To 'Steal' His Own Jokes For 'The Green Hornet'

Posted 8/5/09 2:30 pm EST by in News


Seth RogenFROM SPLASH PAGE: These days, Seth Rogen and best bud Evan Goldberg are hard at work getting ready to shoot their high-profile flick “The Green Hornet.” But according to the “Funny People” star, the hardest part about adapting “Hornet” for the big-screen hasn’t been concerns over how to pay homage to the source material, or even how to make Rogen into an action star - it’s been making sure they don’t repeat their old material.

“It’s hard not to steal your own jokes,” laughed Rogen when we caught up with him recently, remembering the process of writing “Hornet” with Godlberg, his longtime collaborator who also co-wrote/produced the hit comedies “Pineapple Express” and “Superbad.” “It’s hard; like, you really forget which ideas you’ve used and which ones you haven’t.”

Posted 7/29/09 11:30 am EST by in comic-con 2009, Video


Cameron DiazThe movies team working on location at San Diego Comic-Con this year did a kickass job. They flat-out crushed it. In addition to all of the coverage we've been rolling out since last Wednesday, there are literally boxes of tape just waiting to be digitized and served direct to your waiting eyeballs.

Since the onslaught has really only just begun (seriously, you have no idea), I figure now might be a good time to remind you of a few delectable video nuggets that you may have missed. I hadn't even seen some of these until yesterday. SDCC is a big show and the amount of coverage we have from it is almost overwhelming. So peep these vids before the next giant load rolls through.

Seth Rogen Loses His 'Green Hornet' After Stephen Chow Drops Out

Posted 7/14/09 1:30 pm EST by in News


Stephen ChowFROM SPLASH PAGE: Seth Rogen’s “The Green Hornet” has seen its share of setbacks, almost all involving Stephen Chow. Now, it appears that “Hornet” has hit yet another delay, and will be in need of a new Kato, the role Chow was set to play.

SpoilerTV has discovered an open casting call for the part of Kato. However, they are looking for a non-specific Asian, and no longer require any martial arts experience — a description that could shed some light on Rogen’s take on the classic character.

In the serials, Kato was a skilled fighter, driver, and mechanic, but not necessarily a master of any martial arts. But after Bruce Lee made the part his own, the tradition has been to have a Kato who was an expert in martial arts. It’s now an iconic part of the character, especially after Quentin Tarantino ran with the imagery with the Crazy 88s in “Kill Bill.”

'Jay And Seth Vs. The Apocalypse' To Shoot By Next Year, Promises Star Jay Baruchel

Posted 6/11/09 3:30 pm EST by in News


Jay Baruchel

All right, ya’ll: do yourselves a favor and click this link to watch post-Armageddon awesomeness. I’ll wait.

Okay, you back? Cool. If you hadn’t watched it before, that was "Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse," an Internet short scripted by Seth Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg (“Superbad”) and co-starring Jay Baruchel. The idea was to put the so-called trailer online and build interest for a feature film.

It worked. In January of last year, after competition among several production companies, Mandate Pictures secured the rights and started making plans to bring "Jay and Seth" to the big screen. Read More...
