   Donald Glover has been tapped to play Myles Morales on Ultimate SpiderMan. A character that was actually modeled after him.

   The Richard Pryor biopic is blazing a trail by casting Mike Epps as the great comic. 

   Tyler Perry just went on record as saying that if he knew David Fincher's body of work, he would of turned Gone Girl down. Because outside of his own directing projects, Tyler Perry has so much going for him!

   Scorsese is one of the greatest directors of all time. That being said he does have his fair share of shitty movies. And that being said he's taking a movie a lot of us affectionately call Shitter Island and making it into a series.

   Lionsgate has announced that the upcoming Power Rangers reboot will be released to theaters on July 22, 2016.

   So Kevin Smith is not going to not direct movies anymore? Let's just stew in that strangely worded awesome news for a second. His next film will be YOGA HOSERS. The fi stars Johnny Depp, his daughter, and Smith's daughter. Here's the synopsis from Joblo.com.

Hosers, written by Smith, centers on 15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith) who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada’s crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Depp) to fight for their lives with, according to the producers, “all seven Charkas, one Warrior Pose at a time.”

We didn't have a real show so we just talked for an hour and a half. Next week will be better!


Comic Con 201


Let's get right into the heart of The International Comic Con... Deadpool!
The Deadpool test footage is floating around the internet making waves and warm squishy feelings in the stomachs and hearts of anyone with a collectible hit on their heads and anyone who gets in the way. Also a fucking shit load of fanboys and girls who soiled their undergarments watching the new "trailer". Did everyone see it? I won't post it but we'll give a synopsis!

Playing Favorites: Favorite Panel 2014

So Long & Thanx 4 All The Fish

Elaine Stritch, 89, American actress, Tony Award (Elaine Stritch at Liberty) and Emmy Award winner (Law & Order [1993], Elaine Stritch at Liberty [2004], 30 Rock [2007]).

Peter Marquardt, 50, American film (El Mariachi) and video game (Deus Ex) actor.

James Garner, 86, American Hall of Fame actor (Maverick, The Rockford Files, Murphy's Romance), heart attack.

John Fasano, 52, American screenwriter (Another 48 Hrs.), director (Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare) and weapons expert.

Skye McCole Bartusiak, 21, American actress (The Patriot).

Álex Angulo, 61, Spanish Basque actor (Pan's Labyrinth, El día de la bestia), traffic collision.

Philip Marshak, 80, American film director and writer (Night Train to Terror).

James Shigeta, 81, American actor (Flower Drum Song, Die Hard).

What If... Wrestlers went more comic book?

Movierama
   A glove, a broken shield, and a release date for a sequel is about all we really got from the MCU panel. The broken shield of captain America does give me hope that he will travel to wakanda to have it fixed.

   A new batsuit for Batfleck was shown in a teaser video at the DCCU panel but not much else was shown. 

   Walking Dead season 5 may be going to a later time slot on Sundays. The show runner for the highly acclaimed series says that this season will be the most violent season to date, and they may have to play the show later to accommodate FCC regulations.

   A two hour Arrow/Flash crossover has been announced as well as the fact that we will see Roy as Arsenal in a costume that resembles Green Arrows but is of course red. One other thing... Ra's Al Ghul is coming to Arrow.

   A Godzilla sequel has been announced! The script and preproduction is going on now (though they haven't picked a "villain" yet) the actual production will start after Gareth Edwards finishes his Star Wars spinoff.

   Star Trek is one of the biggest franchises out there and Planet of The Apes is slowly winning back it's fan base. So IDW has decided that the best thing to do is have the scifi epics cross over in comic form.

    Guillermo Del Toro has finally given us news on Hellboy 3! And that news is that it is not gonna happen. The stars can't align for this one.

   I wanna pimp out two different movies this week.
1)  Lessons Learned http://youtu.be/LQWxN1I-Gbg
You guys know I'm a huge puppet fan. This seemingly low budget Henson inspired piece comes from Toby Froud who is probably best known as the baby Toby in The Labyrinth.

2) Horns http://youtu.be/QSzbtIAhCBU
Now for some reason I can't understand all I can think about when I hear about this movie is the video game Catherine. But this is actually a cool psychological thriller starring Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe 

   Big Hero 6 has a couple of new pics of the heroes within the new Disney/Marvel movie.



  The new Constantine show hasn't even aired yet and it has already lost it's leading lady. Lucy Griffiths has apparently quit the series because the creators want to go in a different direction than she had previously thought.

Destiny is in beta for PS4 owners, and next week for XBone players. Sadly, Dinklege's best line has been cut. That wizard no longer came from the moon :/

A new Fatal Frame (the pS2/Xbox survival horror series where you fight ghosts win your spirit camera...it's way scarier than it sounds) was announced for Wii U, in Japan this fall. No word yet on a western release, but there is a manga and film planned. The film seems to be geared for a western release, which would likely indicate the game will come over too.


Captain Falcon, Lucina, and Robin (avatar character) enter the fray! Old classic and two new Fire Emblem Awakening characters were confirmed. The games lead, Chrom, was omitted due to similarities with Ike and Marth's protagonist style and


The former dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, is suing Activision. The level "Suffer With Me," in Black Ops 2, features his likeness. Not nice things are said about him, and his panties are all in a bunch about it.


Fred Durst streamed Call of Duty on Twitch. He made his clan tag CWA: Crackas With Attitude. I don't have anything to add to that, just let it flow.

   From Superman to The Atom. Brandon Routh will join the cast of Arrow as Ray Palmer, the new owner of Queen Consolidating.

   Reddit got hit with an Avengers 2 prank. A leaked picture that showed Andrew Garfield on the A2 set was put on reddit and caused an up roar. The pic is fake... Just dashing my hopes!

   Mark Whalberg may become the six million dollar man. Er uh the six billion dollar man? With inflation...

    In a fit of unoriginality, Disney has hired Ehren Kruger ( the last three transformers movies, scream 3) to write a dumbo remake.

   Kevin Smith is the omnigeek. The indie director not only has a new poster for his new movie, Tusk; but also is in the middle of two scandalous stories involving two different franchises. First , while touring his podcasts around Europe, Mr. Smith was invited to Pinewood studios to visit the Star Wars Ep VII. He couldn't say much but he did gush a bit tweeting a picture of himself with tears in his eyes.

Second, is the now debunked rumor that he wrote a fake BvS script that was "leaked" to the internet.
