I know what you’re thinking: January Jones? As X-Men: First Class‘ uber-bitch, Emma Frost? Surely that’s not going to work.

I share your concern, but want to offer these moments of hope. Yes, Betty Draper may not seem like the White Queen that we’ve come to know, love and …
The new trailer for Monsters, Gareth Edwards’ giant mutant monster movie, is out, and it really reminds me of District 9. Not only in terms of the “alien culture has invaded Earth and this is the cultural/societal fallout” set-up, but also in the level of anticipation I have for the movie after seeing …
I guess it was only a matter of time; less than a year after Blackest Night proved that bringing characters back from the dead can bring big sales and fan excitement for DC Comics, Marvel has announced that, hey! Their characters can return from the grave as part of a crossover event as well! I know, I know; Marvel has already done a …
Is Los Angeles big enough for two alien invasion movies? Sony doesn’t think so, and may be considering legal action to ensure that November’s Skyline doesn’t steal the thunder of its own March release, Battle: Los Angeles.
The conflict comes from more than just the similarity between the movies, both of which feature aliens invading …
Okay, so the news that Rose Byrne is close to signing onto Matthew Vaughn’s soft reboot of Fox’s X-Men movie franchise as Moira McTaggart, Professor Xavier’s one-time love, doesn’t really bother me; for a movie that’s rumored to draw from the Chris Claremont/John Byrne-era of the comic to tell the history of Xavier’s relationship with …
Maybe I’m expecting too much of Ray Bradbury; he is, after all, about to turn 90 on August 22nd, and therefore can be allowed to be slightly uncertain about the way that the world today has turned out. But there’s really something dispiriting about the curmudgeonly portrait of the Farenheit 451 author from the LA Times, which includes …
Batwoman may have disappeared from Detective Comics a few months ago, but fans won’t be left without the award-winning other Dark Knight Detective for too long; DC has just announced that the character will reappear in Batwoman #0, a special issue trailing a brand-new series, released in November.
The new series will be co-written by …
If you’re American and of a certain age, then your childhood was probably filled with Kenner’s Star Wars toys, and your memories filled with the commercials for them, which promised thrills, spills and lots of people to play with, even if batteries weren’t included. From the austere, uncertain beginnings of the Early Bird promotion and …
Terminator Salvation may have failed to satisfy hardcore fans and stalled at the box office, but I’m not sure that’s any excuse to consign the franchise to PG-13 CGI animated movie hell. Hannover House and Red Bear Entertainment have announced Terminator 3000, an animated continuation of James Cameron’s dystopian robot movie series …
Okay, so it’s not the movie, but the four-minute Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Animation debuts tonight “around midnight” as part of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, bringing the opening of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (AKA, the second book in the series) to animated life, with voices from Michael Cera, Alison Pill, Mae Whitman …
It’s got to be nice to be Ryan Reynolds these days. He’s still shooting Green Lantern, the big budget version of DC Comics’ successful space cop superhero, with a sequel script already in the works and talk of a third film to be shot at the same time as the second, he’s attached to movie versions of both RIPD (as a supernatural cop) and …
For the purists who think that Star Wars peaked with The Empire Strikes Back and turned into a showcase for toys and merchandise, you’re not alone. In fact, the producer of both Star Wars and Empire, Gary Kurtz, is one of those who agrees with you, and he’s told the LA Times’ Hero Complex blog all about it.
Kurtz is quoted as …
