Here ’s an interview with Joe Letteri , visual gist executive program for Zack Snyder ’s Superman movie .
Here ’s a little more from theatre director Shane Black ’s recent consultation with Wired :
“ We had kind of a brain-teaser in that The Avengers open up this vast skyhole full of inter - dimensional alien , and you kind of look back and [ think ] , ‘ Well , what do you do after that ? ’ Except go back to a sort of more game , intense sort of techno - thriller ancestor . You just go in and you sort of hand-to-hand struggle … you got ta of jerk things around a turn , and mix it up so that there ’s still more story to tell . And the mode you do that is care for it like the first two [ picture ] were part of an on-going fib that has n’t finished yet . The journeys are all mythic in a agency we recognize from a lot of years … mythological superhero stories . Today ’s world is so complicated that the restraint of myth has come back around the desire , or call for for citizenry to finger and see that that ’s unprecedented ; give how just confusing the world is mighty now . ”

Patrick Stewart , Ian McKellan , and Hugh Jackman have all confirm that they have been come near to reprize their X - Men roles as Professor X , Magneto , and Wolverine , and now the rumors have moved on to the next tier of original X - Men stars . Halle Berry and James Marsden have both been mentioned as candidates to reprise their part as Storm and Cyclops . Their participation is reportedly pretty straightforward , as these actors would reportedly “ appear mostly in scenes depicting an alternate dystopic future , so earnings and metre commitments are not square ” , and they are likely to do this now that their original director Bryan Singer is back on board after the departure of X - Men : First Class film director Matthew Vaughn . Reading between the lines , it seems like this is the sorting of role Hugh Jackman referred to when he talked about “ doing something ” in this movie , whereas it ’s potential that Stewart and McKellan — playing two of the only characters present in both timeline — might make more substantial appearances . That , however , is just speculation , and indeed it ’s probably good to take this whole affair with a degree of skepticism until we hear something more official . [ Hollywood Reporter ]
There ’s no particular reason to think Warner Bros. is actually going to go ahead with this — and you ’d think Christopher Nolan would be particularly against it , since Selina Kyle ’s apparent retirement seems like a of the essence part of the end to The Dark Knight grow — but it sure sound like Anne Hathaway wants to do a Catwoman spin - off movie :
“ No one ’s lecture to me about it . I would have intercourse it . I in reality , it ’s so embarrassing , I was at a jam Q & A thing the other night for a viewing of ‘ The Dark Knight , ’ and the moderator asked me , ‘ So what was it like to say adieu to the character ? ’ And I break into tears , because I miss her . It just makes me yell . I miss her . I love Selena so much and I roll in the hay her front in my aliveness and getting to … I ’m call out again . So assuming there was enough Kleenex in the world , I would screw to do a spin - off . ”
And even if Anne Hathaway is just say all that to pander to Catwoman rooter … well , I ’ll say this , she dedicate to her pandering . [ Access Hollywood ]
Director Gavin Hood — who would very much appreciate it if you gave him a mulligan stew on ten - Men Origins : Wolverine — explain why Ender and company are all around 12 , rather than starting out as 6 - year - olds as they do in Orson Scott Card ’s novel . He also promises that there are some of the essence thing he very much is not modify :
“ I hash out this at duration with Orson . The decision was made very early on to compress the metre menstruation into about a year , so that we could have the same actor from begin to end … We were seek to hit that sweet spot flop around 12 , which [ Ender player ] Asa [ Butterfield ] fits in very nicely . When you sit down for two hour , you ’re just beginning to bond with an thespian , and then he changes and suddenly you ’re bind with someone who ’s meant to be the same someone , but you cognize he ’s a different doer … I am a fan , and I have had a desire to do this and have been exercise on this now for nearly four years . That conclusion – and the complex moral questions that it raises – is one of the reason why I jazz the book . I promise you that it is very much there . ”

Still , why waste clock time getting unrestrained about the first Hobbit movie when we can cut right ahead to the main event , namely the third Hobbit moving-picture show ? To wit , here ’s the first official image from the third entry in the trilogy , which comes out July 18 , 2014 — the middle chapter , The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug is out December 13 , 2013 — which present Orlando Bloom ’s recurrence as Legolas and the presentation of Immortals and Clash of the Titans actor Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman . Here ’s Peter Jackson and screenwriter Phillipa Boyens ’ attach to verbal description for the two characters :
Jackson : “ He ’s [ elven top executive ] Thranduil ’s son , and Thranduil is one of the characters in The Hobbit , and because ELF are immortal it makes sense Legolas would be part of the sequence in the Woodland Realm .
Boyens : Bard is an interesting character , but [ in the Word ] he ’s kind of a random character who comes in after the fact . We take more clip introducing him . We know from what follows that he was a father , so we [ search ] that . I do n’t think we take impropriety , because it ’s all there in the storytelling .

Suburgatory sensation Jane Levy discusses how the Necronomicon fits into Fede Alvarez ’s reboot :
Yeah . You recognize , Mia never really happen the Book of the Dead . More Lou Taylor Pucci ( Eric ) – it ’s his fault , moderately much , that the whole night goes the fashion it does . It ’s his break that he resurrects the devil . But our Quran is a piffling dissimilar – it bet a little unlike , for one . But I remember it sort of – it start the same doorway .
She also offer this rather grand overview of her experience making the film :
Yeah , mostly they just warned us . In my audition , Bruce was there , and he was like , “ Do you know what it feels like to be buried alive ? Do you know what it feels like to have a pipe stick by down your throat so you may chuck everywhere ? ” And I was like , “ Uh , no , but yes , I wanna do it ! ” But nothing could ’ve set me for it . We have the original producers and Rob Tapert speak to me at the beginning , and most of their advice had to do with how taxing it was go to be , physically and emotionally . Rob Tapert sat me down and say , “ There ’s going to be a moment when we ’re shooting in the next four month that you are extend to break dance down , you ’re going to be covered in stemma , you ’re go to be freezing cold , you ’re going to require to go home . When that moment comes , do n’t occupy – go to your trailer , we ’ll stop and you could have your moment . ” And I had a duet of those .
She also discusses her appreciation for Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell ’s original :
I thought it was shot really nerveless , I get laid the POV – which we ’ve kept in the remake . And it ’s so simple , but it ’s a everlasting approximation for a repugnance movie . Ours is very different – it ’s not the same fictional character . It ’s the same , I guess , situation – kids in a cabin and then here come up the heller . But dissimilar grapheme . So I did n’t have to feel the pressure level of being Bruce Campbell .

Xerxes actor Rodrigo Santoro key his grooming for come back to the role in Smart People conductor Noam Murro ’s sequel :
“ I had to shave , I had to work out again , I had to go back to Xerxes . It ’s the same character . There ’s little young things — a petty before , a little after — but most of the movie , it ’s during … kind of the same time where the first moving picture takes place . There ’s a lot go on . It ’s hard , the green screen , it ’s a different way of working . It ’s really challenge to work that way and the theatrical role fall apart a lot and Xerxes is a titan . He ’s almost not human , which is a poetical license . It derive from a graphic novel so it ’s not based in real account , so that character is very very tall and his phonation is like scag and that ’s the description of this character . So there ’s a couple peculiar FX and tricks that have to be done to accomplish that figure so I do scenes by myself . It ’s interesting , it ’s a lot of work . ”

Guillermo del Toro took to his official meeting place to talk about the photographic film he ’s ostensibly actually planning on doing after Pacific Rim — as opposed to the other ten XII projects he just really enjoys talking about — which will reportedly see his rejoinder to the horror genre as director for the first time in 15 year :
CP is not HELL HOUSE at all . Nothing could be further from that . CP is a spec script Matthew and I write right after PAN ’S LABYRINTH . It stayed mostly under the radar but I have been pushing it quietly . Universal has been very supportive and desire to do it . It ’s fix at the turn of the one C and it is a medieval romance with ghosts . When I use the GR term I habituate it not in the Barbara Cartland model but rather in a Bronte mode . Dark and tempestuous and wind - swept . This is my first foray into horror since Sci - Fi / Horror MIMIC . [ The Devil ’s Backbone ] was more of an essay on ghosts than a ghost tale and , except as producer , I have not returned to chilling stuff in a long clip . Glad you guys are make love . So am I ! !
