The Witcher

It looks like Netflix got Henry Cavill to play the lead in their upcoming The Witcher TV series...

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.



You had me at Henry Cavill.

Super Men

Entertainment Weekly interviews the new Superman, Henry Cavill, about his audition for the role.

Henry Cavill has said that he was made to wear a replica outfit worn by Christopher Reeve in the 1978 Superman movie during his audition for the lead in the reboot.

I would think that would be like trying on underwear you find in a thrift store.

No, thanks.



Channing Tatum is on the cover of GQ magazine talking about his career.

On landing bigger and better roles. “No one’s calling me for lawyer roles. I still have a lot to do to prove myself.”



Yeah...that photo doesn't really scream "I object, your Honor!"

And, here is the first photo of Kellan Lutz, as sea God Neptune, in the upcoming movie Immortals.



Kellan and Channing wouldn't make believable lawyers.

Unless they were representing Matthew McConaughey.

The Witching Hour

The first poster and a couple of new photos of Henry Cavill as Geralt in the the upcoming The Witcher TV series on Netflix were released today.



He looks very Legolas-y.



They had me at Henry Cavill.



The series is supposed to premiere sometime early next year on Netflix.

Super Friday

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.

Let the game begin

Netflix released the first shot of Henry Cavill as The Witcher today and, so far, he's looking very much like the title character from the game.



I'm in.

The series premieres sometime in 2019.

Wonder-ful!

I'm very excited that they are adding Wonder Woman to the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie....

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.

It's about GD time...

Super Suit

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.

Then they really would be fun to wear.

Super-ish

The first photo of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman in the second season of Supergirl was just released...



Well...he's not necessarily the imposing Superman we have in the movies with Henry Cavill, but he'll probably be fine for TV.

The screens are smaller...so that'll help.

Super Soaker

First there was Batman, now the first look at Henry Cavill as Superman from the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.

He looks…moist.

Super Trooper

Batman v Superman has started filming in Chicago recently and some cool photos have leaked of Henry Cavill in costume…



He really needs to start working out…

Bastard.

Here is a local newscast of some of the filming...

Ye Gods!

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.



Ouch!

I'm in.

Gawker has a very funny review of the movie here.

Scruffy Man

Warner Bros. just released a new full trailer for Man of Steel and 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.
