Dracula Untold trailer


This is the first trailer for the new Universal movie about the Prince of Darkness. It seems like a comic-book style origin story that tries to combine the historical Vlad Tepes with the character created by Bram Stoker. The first half of the trailer reminded me of 300 but the second part makes me think of Castlevania. The settings, how he uses his powers and the way the character looks. Maybe the film makers took some inspiration from the legendary video game series. The movie looks like it might be fun.

New Superman v Batman image!!!

I'm super! Thanks for asking.

This new image features Superman (Henry Cavill) from the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (plus Alpha). We see the Man of Steel in what I think is Gotham City. The picture looks really dark. I have no problem with Batman being dark but Superman should be light. That's what make their friendship/rivalry work. The film will open in 2016.

More Batman titles coming this Fall

Apparently we didn't had enough
Newsarama reports that 2 new Batman titles will be released this October, Gotham Academy (written by Becky Cloonan and Brendan Fletcher, drawn by Karl Kerschl) and Arkham Manor (written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Shawn Crystal).

I love Batman since forever, but DC is really stretching him thin. One of the things that DC did right with The New 52 relaunch (reboot) was the variety of genre, we had military, westerns, fantasy and horror; now all we are getting are superheroes (and most of them are Bat-Titles).

Audition is getting a Hollywood remake


According to deadline.com an American version of Audition (originally a novel by  Ryu Murakamiis) is on the works with Richard Gray attached as the director. The film promises to follow the books very closely but will be adapted to a western culture background. The film is expected to be released next year.

The book was already adapted to the screen by Takeshi Miike and is considered a cult classic. It is one of the very few movies that can manage to scare me. We'll see how this new version compares to the 1999 one.

20th Century Fox

I HAVE THE POWEEERRR!!!

Michael Bay's prayers to Robot Heaven have been answered, Transformer Age of Extinction made approximately $301 million in the weekend around the world. It is the biggest opening for a foreign movie in China, making approximately $90 million (it helps that part of the movie was filmed there).

Critics seem to hate the movie but that doesn't stop the public to rush to the theater. While I'm not to fond of the franchise (the first one was average at best and the other 2 where horrible) there is no denying that the majority of moviegoers love it (or are force to go go by an annoying friend/boyfriend/son/brothers). We can expect more sequels along the way.
