Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how Marvel explores Thanos as a villain and realizes him on the big screen for longer than five seconds. It’s comforting that Joss Whedon and company didn’t resort to CGI to bring him to life in The Avengers , but I wouldn’t mind seeing a version of Thanos that’s a little bit creepier than the one we saw previou
With the star of this near-future action film advertised as part man, part machine, it’s hard to see how Robocop could truly take inspiration from the Bible. But the events of the movie are a clear match: Alex Murphy is a hero in a corrupt city, who is killed, resurrected, and emerges as a robotic savior. Director Paul Verhoeven confirmed that a Biblical allegory was his goal, even including a scene of Murphy walking on water in the film’s third act. According to the Dutch filmmaker, an invincible hero who used bullets instead of forgiveness was his idea of “an American Jesus,” dishing out brutal justice in a world torn apart by violent cr
An Obi-Wan Kenobi film could take on various forms – such as, an adventure where Obi-Wan leads a team of warriors on an important mission (see the old rumor about Zack Snyder making a Seven Samurai-inspired Jedi movie ). That is, it might offer something new and fresh for both hardcore Star Wars buffs and more casual moviegoers al
Every Firefly fan knows that Joss Whedon’s canceled TV show was given a second life, and a conclusion on the big screen. But when Serenity was greenlit by Universal, the crew realized that Fox, believing the property to be dead, had destroyed the sets – meaning they had to be rebuilt from scratch. The film’s budget had to cover the new ship, but Whedon made light of the situation, stencilling storage containers with the words “REUSABLE CONTAINER: DO NOT DESTROY” in large letters. Let’s hope they took the message to he
Of course, with the news that American Horror Story season 2 will be based in a different time period, the old timey crazed doctor and nurse clichés do begin to set in. That is, unless Murphy’s decision for a different time period included the future as an opt
When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you can try Gamedealhq.com guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful
Trading a human or animal star for a robotic one, Wall-E was a major turning point for Pixar as a whole, relying less on dialogue than ever before. Set in a future where mankind has turned Earth into one massive landfill and headed into space, Wall-E is just one maintenance robot left behind. He’s put his time to good use, too, collecting dozens of trinkets and souvenirs to store in his home. When Wall-E first enters his house in the movie, one Toy Story character can be seen hidden behind a pair of bowling pins. How Rex managed to survive the man-made end of the world isn’t clear, but if he survived, then it stands to reason Woody and the gang were still alive off-screen as w
According to recent reports , Thanos will be featured in both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2 (probably less the former and more the latter). It’s unclear in what capacity he’ll appear, or what comic book stories those movies will draw from – perhaps ‘The Infinity Gauntlet,’ ‘Annihilation,’ or the more recent ‘The Thanos Imperative’ – though he will almost certainly be “courting death” at every t
Speaking at the American Horror Story panel at the TV Academy last week, Murphy revealed that the second season will be moving across the country for its new setting and will be taking place at an institution for the criminally insane that’s set on the East Coast. Returning favorite Jessica Lange will be running the institution, though no additional information about her character was revea
The brief glimpse of Thanos in the mid-credits scene revealed less than half his otherworldly face to the audience, but new images and concept art extracted from The Avengers Second Screen Experience app have revealed the villain in his entir
When Murphy’s intentions of having an anthology series were revealed shortly after the show premiered, many assumed that the famed Murder House would be a fixed location – along with all the season one charact
It may be unexpected, but apply the Bible to the story, and some answers are possible. The moon LV-223 is likely a reference to Leviticus 22:3, a warning from God that “…if any of your descendants is unclean, and yet comes near these sacred offerings…they shall perish before the Lord.” To make the twist on Christianity even clearer, Scott had planned to explain that an Engineer sent to save mankind 2,000 years ago was crucified instead, but decided that was a little too on the n
