Linkorama Wednesday 14th July

Mirren, Tennant, Pilgrim, And More!

Ever had one of those days where you just can't get online? Yeah...today's Linkorama is late for a reason.

Helen Mirren Gets A Little Red



The more I see of Red, the more I want to see. It looks awesome, and honestly...who can deny how cool it is to see Helen Mirren as an action hero? Unexpected, but cool.

From Empire:

Based on Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner’s graphic novel and directed by Robert Schwentke (Flight Plan), the tongue-in-cheek actioner sees Mirren play ex-CIA spook Victoria. She's roped back into active service when her old colleague Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) finds himself targeted by rogue elements in the Agency.

Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich complete the reunited line-up of greying black-ops talent, while Brian Cox, Karl Urban and Richard Dreyfuss provide varying degrees of villainy.


Live Action Gargoyles?



Stick this one in the rumour bin for the time being, though given the large number of childrens' shows being turned into feature films it may turn out true.

According to Hollywood Reporter and Total Film, Disney are in discussions with the creators about turning Gargoyles into a full length, live action, feature film.

How many of you guys remember this series? I do...but I really only remember that there were Gargoyles, and they fought stuff...kinda like every other Kids TV series out through the 80's and 90's. Robots fighting stuff, skeletons fighting stuff, Conan fighting stuff...

David Tennant As The Hulk?



What would I do without rumours? Thanks to Marvel dumping Ed Norton from the role of The Hulk in all future Marvel projects, my blog has had at least one story for every day about who can take his place.

Today, Den Of Geek are reporting that David Tennant is now rumoured to be among the potentials, along with Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Nathan Fillion, and Mark Ruffalo.

As with Mr Phoenix...I'm not entirely sure Tennant would really fit the role. Fillion would be interesting...but I'm more intrigued by the rumours of him playing Ant-Man than anything else.

I guess we'll find out soon...maybe at San Diego Comic Con?

Thor, Odin, And Loki



Thanks to the LA Times, I can now show you the second official image to have been released of upcoming Marvel epic, Thor.

This shot shows Thor over to the left, Loki on the right, and Anthony Hopkins playing Odin at the very front (in case you missed it).

Annoyingly, it's also been announced that Captain America and Thor are going to be converted to 3D in Post-Production, which has created some poor results in the past (Clash Of The Titans, Alice In Wonderland, etc). Neither director seems genuinely enthused by the idea, but it seems that worries will be pushed aside during SDCC in the coming weeks.

We wait with anticipation...

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

New featurette! And Music from the game! YAY!



The featurette doesn't reveal much new, but it's still fun to watch.

I'm in lesbians with you.


What?




And if you head over to RadioMaru.com you can listen to the latest track for the upcoming game.

The track sounds awesome (I use that word a lot...hmmm, catchphrase?), the game looks brilliant, and the film looks amazing.

I. Can't. Wait.



Sorry for the delyaed upload of Linkorama. Hope you guys still liked it! More tomorrow.

  1. L-L-L-Live-action Gargoyles?!?!?! O_O

    As long as Keith David and the other voice actors reprise their roles and the story sticks to that of the original show, then that would be beyond WIN! :D

    As for Thor, the 3D shit doesn't bother me because I still see all my movies in "2D." :P
