EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Superman: Man of Steel Poster!

Hollywood News from MovieWeb - Sat, 04/02/2012 - 20:27

Thanks to an anonymous scooper, we've gotten our hands on one of the first posters from next year's DC Comics reboot Superman: Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill as mild mannered reporter, Clark Kent. In this one-sheet, the first we've seen of it's kind, Superman faces off against an army of Helicopters, a shadowy Zod (Michael Shannon) and what looks to be a robot, of which we've heard little about. This is by no means an official poster that we can verify, and may not even find its way into a theater, but it's clearly real, and could be one of many. Check it out below!

Superman: Man of Steel comes to theaters June 14th, 2013 and stars Henry Cavill, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

Harrison Ford in Talks for Blade Runner Follow-Up

Hollywood News from MovieWeb - Sat, 04/02/2012 - 20:04

After Prometheus, which returns Ridley Scott to the original world of his seminial sci-fi horror classic Alien, the director is expected to move forward on a follow-up to another one of his timeless sci-fi adventures Blade Runner, with the Untitled Blade Runner Project.

Last August, producer Andrew A. Kosove claimed that the movie would have nothing to do with Harrison Ford, nor the character of Rick Deckard. The movie was said to be a total reinvention that would be completely fresh, with an all-new cast. At the time, it was not being called a prequel or a sequel, but a follow-up in the same vein as Prometheus. A spin-off, if you will.

Today, word has leaked that Harrison Ford has actually entered into early talks to appear in this new film. It is not known in what capacity, or if he will resume the role of Deckard. Twitch Film, from which this story originated, makes it clear that this is very early in the process and that anything could change at any minute. Though, the Untitled Blade Runner Project is not intended to be a reboot, nor a direct sequel to the original.

What do you think? Do you want to see Harrison Ford return to the world of Blade Runner? Do you want to see him play someone new? Or is it only acceptable to have him reprise Rick Deckard? Maybe he will narrate the film? (Okay, that is highly unlikely.)

Blade Runner was released June 25th, 1982 and stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, Brion James. The film is directed by Ridley Scott.

Untitled Blade Runner Project comes to theaters in 2014.

The Amazing Spider-Man Richard and Mary Parker Photo

Hollywood News from MovieWeb - Sat, 04/02/2012 - 18:36

Seeing that fans are quite anxious to learn more, and are actually happy about the inclusion of Peter Parker's birth parents Richard and Mary Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, Sony Pictures is pushing their marketing more in that direction. Today, the official The Amazing Spider-Man website has been updated with profiles on both Richard and Mary (Campbell Scott; Embeth Davidtz) and Ben and May Parker (Martin Sheen; Sally Field). They have also updated the site with new wallpapers and avatars. Check out the latest images below. To visit the refurbished website: clickHere

"Beneath the Parkers' happy appearance lurks a dark secret that would eventually drive them from their life, their work, and their young son. Now that same secret threatens to destroy Peter Parker...And perhaps all of New York City."

"Peter Parker has been raised by his timelessly devoted aunt and uncle since he was a small boy. As Peter uncovers secrets about his past, distance grows between him and the only parents he's ever truly known."

The Amazing Spider-Man comes to theaters July 3rd, 2012 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka, Irrfan Khan, C. Thomas Howell. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

The Raid Remake Gets Writer Brad Ingelsby

Hollywood News from MovieWeb - Sat, 04/02/2012 - 18:04

Gareth Evans' The Raid hasn't yet opened, and Sony Screen Gems has already snapped up sequel rights in the U.S. for Berandal, and they are moving forward on their own U.S. remake.

Hoping to get this English language version of the story, which follows a S.W.A.T. team trying to infiltrate the apartment building of a mobster, into theaters by 2014, they've attached a writer this weekend named Brad Ingelsby.

The story should remain intact, but it is unclear if this U.S. remake will be as brazen and as violent as Gareth Evans' original. Though audiences won't see it until March 23rd, it has already gained a strong reputation as the best action film of the year, and some are calling it "one big glorious two hour action sequence." Coming from Screen Gems means the forthcoming remake of The Raid will be toned down for a PG-13 audience. As the original is getting a proper release across the states, this shouldn't rile the genre community too much.

The Raid comes to theaters in 2014.
