Sony hasn't even released the first entry in their rebooted Spider-Man movie franchise yet, and already there's talk about a solo film for another popular Spidey character. In case you missed the news yesterday, Chronicle director Josh Trank is in negotiations with Sony to direct a Venom movie. This isn't the first time the possibility of a Venom spinoff has been brought up, but it could wind up being the time it finally comes too fruition.
In case you haven't heard, there's going to be at least one more Transformers movie from director Michael Bay. No big surprise there. One thing that is a little surprising about Bay's fourth outing is that he'll be focusing less on the human characters and more on the Transformers themselves. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but given how many Autobots and Decepticons have fallen in battle so far, the time has come to bring some new players onto the field.
The show is about a "widowed father of two teenagers who, after losing his job in construction, decides to go to the police academy and become a cop at the age of 46." It's been a long while since Lawrence has been on TV, but he did have tons of success at one point with FOX's Martin, which ran from '92 to '97 and amassed over 130 episodes.
Here's proof that John Carter rocks. (We've seen the final film and can attest to that, but that's all we'll say until our review embargo is up!) Check out this four-minute sneak preview scene featuring the original sci-fi hero battling the giant white apes of Mars. (Remember, Star Wars "borrowed" from the 100-year-old story of John Carter of Mars, not vice-versa.)
The nominations for the 32nd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards were announced today, the eve before the Oscars as is customary for the RAZZIES. Adam Sandler dominated this year's crop "honoring" the worst in cinema for the year 2011, receiving a record 11 nominations.
Director Ridley Scott has reportedly revealed the connection between his two sci-fi films, the classic Alien and his forthcoming Prometheus.
Prometheus had begun its development as a prequel to Alien before becoming its own entity, and Scott recently explained to the Hungarian news outlet IC Press the SPOILER that connects the two movies.
The extended TV spot for the superhero epic was the undisputed big winner among movie commercials aired during the Super Bowl, so Disney and Marvel want to keep that positive momentum building towards the film's May debut.
