A new full trailer for Netflix's upcoming series The Witcher was released...
It's looking really good and Henry Cavill appears to be a great fit for the character. I'm really looking forward to seeing this when it becomes available on December 20th!
Netflix’s Witcher series—showrun by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and based on the fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, rather than the wildly popular video game adaptations by CD Projekt Red—has been quietly bubbling away in the background for the last year or so, but it took a major step forward with the casting of Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. The main protagonist of the Witcher series, Geralt is a genetically-enhanced swordsman for hire, using his Witcher abilities to hunt down monsters and defend the lands of The Continent from monstrous beasts. While Sapkowski’s novels have grown in popularity over the years, most know Geralt primarily as the protagonist of the sprawling video game RPGs in CD Projekt Red’s Witcher trilogy, where he’s brought to life by Doug Cockle, whose iconic voice defines Geralt for many fans.
Warner Bros. has announced this morning that Gal Gadot, most well known for appearing in the "Fast and Furious" films, has landed the role of Wonder Woman/Diane Prince in Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman vs. Superman film. In a statement, Zack Snyder stated: "Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character." Batman vs. Superman will feature the return of Henry Cavill as Superman, facing off against Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Also starring Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne, the Zack Snyder-directed Batman vs. Superman hits theaters on July 17, 2015.
I think this indicates that Warner Bros. is FINALLY gearing up for a Justice League movie at some point soon.
Warner Bros. just released a new full trailer for Man of Steeland it's looking like it's gonna be REALLY good.
This one finally shows us some of the action and plot...
Shots of Krypton before baby Supes is sent away...
Shots of his stylishly arched Fortress of Solitude...
And, apparently, Henry Cavill spends a significant amount of time saving folks while unshaven and shirtless before he eventually finds a razor and his costume...
As Alicia Keys might say....that boy is on fire.
He'll begin heating up the box office on June 14th.
In case you've missed their commercials every fifteen minutes on every channel for the past couple of weeks, the fat-free movie Immortals opens today.
If you're a fan of 300 and the Spartacus series as well as mythical, scantily clad Gods, dramatic comic book blood, and Ginsu slice and dice violence...there's a pretty good chance you're going to enjoy this too.
It features Henry Cavill (the new Superman, also immortal)...
Mickey Rourke and Stephen Dorff...
And Kellan Lutz (whose next Twilight film also opens next Friday)...
Kellan even sacrificed his shirt on the cover of the new Men's Fitness just to help promote this movie.
He's a trooper.
It looks like it's going to be a visual extravaganza with, if this clip is any indication, lots of graceful slow-motion carnage for every boy and girl in Whoville.
This photo was enhanced with a cape by a fan with Photoshop. It will be interesting to see if the film version eventually looks the same.
Now that everyone has a camera on their phone, it's getting harder and harder for studios to keep things a secret on a set. Here are the first pictures of Henry Cavill's new Superman costume (one of several different styles, I hear).
It seems that a muscle and vein-enhanced suit has replaced the old school blue tights, utility belt, and red shorts from the Supes of yore.
I don't hate it...
I'd actually like one of those suits surgically applied to my body so I could skip going to the gym for good.
Maybe they'll just update the Underoos with latex muscle and Spanx material and answer my prayers.
The first official photo of Henry Cavill as Superman in Zach Snyder's Man of Steel was released yesterday, followed quickly by the first photo of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman) in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises.
Henry definitely looks like a Superman.
Anne looks like...a girl on a very big motorcycle.
Hopefully they'll Pfeiffer Anne up her up for the next photo.
