For those that need a Punisher fix, our friends at IGN have the new trailer.
You can check it out here.
The film is due out sometime in December.
Personally speaking, I don’t think it’s gonna do well. At least not as well as The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man. Never really been a big Punisher fan. Sorry.

Just found out the Len “The Lucky Lucky B@$t@rd” Wiseman is to direct the Gears of War movie. How jammy can you get? Married to the fantastically gorgeous Kate Beckinsale, lets hope that his luck doesn’t run out and Gears of War falls at the first hurdle.
The script is by Chris Morgan, who also co-wrote ‘Wanted’.
No news on when the movie is gonna start production but let’s all hope it looks as gorgeous as Kate (and of course the Gears of War game) and has a decent storyline.
Hankies at the ready.

Raimi Coming Back For Spiderman 4 (and 5?).

With all the rumours that the new movie will feature a brand new Peter Parker, looks like there may be no need for this after all.
Comingsoon.net is reporting that Sam Raimi may come back and direct Spiderman 4 (and 5?) after all. Sam never ruled out directorial duties for the next installment and is “open and quite eager to direct a fourth”.
It may be the case that he wants to prove that the first two were no flukes (the third movie was only ‘Amazing’ and not ‘Spectacular’ like the first two) but I think thats hooey. Sam Raimi loves Spiderman and I just think that he wants to do another, not for the hell of it, but because he loves the character so.
The script is being written by James Vanderbilt and should be ready in the next few months and Sam has been quoted as saying “I can’t wait to read it”.
The good news also is that Sam has no intentions to re-cast which should be applauded. People fell in love the movie due to the actors making it believable. Re-casting would only put people off. It’s like watching your favourite tv show and, when one of the characters is re-cast, the show loses some of it’s magic. Know what I mean? I can’t think of anyone else playing J Jonah Jameson. J K Simmons made that role. Fantastic piece of casting.
Let’s hope that it all comes off.
Wake up DC and take a leaf out of Marvel’s (ahem) comic and start getting some movies together!

James McAvoy, From Mr Tumnus To Bilbo Baggins.

Looks like James McAvoy is top of the list to play Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movies.
From all the names being bandied about (Jack Black, Daniel Radcliffe and others), James McAvoy’s name has been yelled the loudest. James has still to be approached by Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson but looks like this will be sorted out soon with them all getting together and making James the offer.
Guillermo recently told Empire, “I can tell you it’s down to a few names that we all agree upon. For our first choice, completely magically, we all said the same name.” He never mentioned who’s name they all thought of.
As everyone knows, Sir Ian Holm played Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy but the Hobbit obviously requires younger actor since it chronicles the adventures of a young Bilbo Baggins and his quest to the Misty Mountains to face the fierce dragon, Smaug.

Who Is The New Spidey?

Seeing as Tobey Maguire had only signed for 3 movies, Sony are gonna have to get another actor lined up for the lead in the new Spiderman movies.
Currently at the top of the “Who’s gonna be Spiderman for the fourth outing” list is Patrick Fugit (nope, don’t know who it is either). Apparently he’s been in ‘Almost Famous’, ‘Wristcutters’ and ‘ER’.
Second on the list is Michael Angarano (Nope, never heard of him either). Apparently he’s been in ‘Sky High’.
As mentioned in a previous post, the new movie is gonna be shot back-to-back with Spiderman 5.
No news on who the villians are gonna be but hopefully it will be one or two of the following:- The Vulture, Electro, The Lizard, Mysterio, Rhino, Shocker, Morbius, or Hobgoblin. I would like to see Electro and The Lizard making an appearance and maybe even Venom. What do you guy’s reckon?
Anyway, it’s still a bit early for story news etc or whether Sam Raimi can be tempted to come back as director.
With talk of an Avengers Movie, maybe the new movies will feature some other super-heroes and maybe lead into crossover titles that became a staple of the Marvel Comics Universe.
