Sucker Punch (2011) trailer

Looks pretty kewl!

Comic/Movie News

Wow, I was just 'randomly' clicking on the news items to the left of this page and came across a load of cool Comic/Film related movie news from MTV's awesome Splash Page blog.

Here's some links that caught my eye;

• Stan Lee's role in the new Venom movie
  
• Watchmen returns to the cinema with 25 extra minutes (probably US only though)
  
• Ryan Reynolds talks about the 'Deadpool' movie spin-off
  
• 300 sequel on the cards
  
• Brandon Routh's 'Superman' contract has expired
  
• Most anticipated Marvel film

The return of Buck Rogers?

A while back, it looked like comic book guru turned movie director Frank Miller had his eye on Buck Rogers, and then there was a lot of silence on the line. Miller has been working on The Spirit, and there's constant talk of Sin City and 300 spin-offs, and the Buck Rogers talk died down.

But IGN has checked with Miller's camp following an announcement made at the Scream Awards about a classic sci-fi hero he wanted to focus on next, and it turns out that apparently it is Buck Rogers that's on the director's radar.

The idea will be based mostly on the Flint Dille graphic novel from the 1990s, but will retain the campy attitude (and dazzling production details) of the NBC show that aired in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Therefore, a $40 million budget is just about right.

He had better get a super hot chick to play Wilma Dearing, thats all I'm gonna say!

The Spirit (2009)

OK, how the hell did I not know about this? Another very interesting looking Frank Miller film.

Watchmen (2009)

Watchmen looks pretty awesome judging by the above trailer. Its adapted from the DC graphic novel by 300 director Zack Snyder. Its also co written by David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake from the amazing Metal Gear video games!

Aliens Vs. Preadtor: Requiem (2007)

Aliens V. Predator: Requiem (a.k.a AvPr) looks pretty good from the trailer although I seem to remember the first AvP having a similar appeal until watching the film and realizing it was made by an over exited five year old, high on e-numbers (otherwise known as Paul W.S. Anderson!). This film however is directed by a couple of brothers (Colin & Gregg Strause) who were behind some of the great visual effects seen in 300 so I'll give it a chance.

New He-Man Movie

I've heard a rumour, not sure how reliable the source is but a new He-Man movie is apparently on the cards, to be shot in a style very similar to the film '300'.

Could be very cool if its true!
