Were you tricked by the Bacon yesterday? I know a few people were...go on, admit it...
Brian Cox Joins Rise of The Apes
An "individual who is familiar with the project" has told TheWrap that Brian Cox is currently in negotiations to join the cast of Rise Of The Apes.
The role would see Cox playing the "villainous owner of a primate sanctuary who runs the facility without compassion for the animals that live there."
So it's safe to say that Caeser will be doing something horrible to him nearer to the end of the film...
The Last Exorcism
The image is the exclusive UK poster for Eli Roth Produced Horror-Thriller "The Last Exorcism."
Directed by Daniel Stamm, the film follows an evangelical priest as he invites a camera crew to follow him on his final exorcism. Gruesome stuff is bound to happen (it's Eli Roth), and there's probably going to be a bit of shakey-cam work mixed in.
I wonder though, is this a spiritual successor to the exorcist series, or just another horror film that focuses on a young girl being possessed and generally being a little brat...
Kick-Ass 2, And More...
TotalFilm have been lucky enough to sit down with Kick-Ass creators Mark Millar and John Romita Jr, talking to them about the future of Kick-Ass, and their views on other comics.
Here's a sneak peak before you follow the link:
“I always had this planned as three volumes, and each is a sequel,” he explains. “It’s not like a regular comic where it’s issue nine, 10 and 11. It’s Kick-Ass 2, Issue 1 sort of thing. It’s just starting where we left off last time.”
Metroid: Other M Intro
Details are ever so slowly emerging about the Team Ninja developed Metroid follow up, Other M. The latest is the intro movie for the game, showing the birth of Samus Aran. The cinematic is quite beautiful, and this may just be the first time I've been really interested in a Metroid game.
Ed Norton Responds
After the shocking news that Marvel had, essentially, dumped Norton from The Hulk series (and thus, any future appearances in The Avengers, and any other Marvel films), everybody has been waiting with anticipation for Norton to respond to it all.
Finally, we have a response, and it's quite dignified to:
...I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and the Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond. So here goes: It seems it won't work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in The Avengers. I sincerely hoped it could happen and be great for everyone, but it hasn't turned out as we all hoped.
I know this is disappointing to many people and that makes me sad. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be a part of the Hulk's long and excellent history.
Given how out in the open the dump was, it's no surprise that Norton is attempting to avoid any further controversy by attacking Marvel. I guess it'll be years before we find out the full truth of what he really feels about it all.
According to Den Of Geek, the rumours of Joaquin Phoenix sitting in negotiations with Marvel about taking up the role are gaining in strength. I'm not so sure about whether Joaquin would really be good for the role...but we'll have to wait and see.
That's all from me for today, more tomorrow!
Not sure I like Pheonix for the Hulk either- he always seems to up his own arse to play anything decently - just my opinion lol - which is probably biased as I adore Ed Norton in anything- well- apart from the Hulk that is- I thought he actually wasn't good in the part :(
