Men in Black 3 is a Go in 3D

Screenrush.com has reported that not only will there be a third Men in Black movie, but it will be in 3D and stars Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are both confirmed to return as agents Jay and Kay. MIB2 came out in 2002 and director Barry Sonnenfeld is looking at a 2012 release, making a ten year span between movies. While I haven’t been hearing anyone gagging for another sequel, the general feeling is that the movies were a fun ride. Jones and Smith have a great on-screen buddy chemistry and th...

New Jonah Hex Movie Pics

I honestly can’t understand why this movie isn’t getting more hype. Sure westerns are kind of out of vogue in Hollywood right now, however Warner Bros. has not only tapped Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men, Goonies) to bring DC’s Jonah Hex to life, but also Megan Fox (Transformers) as his love interest and John Malkovich (really? if you don’t know, leave…) as the villain. Let’s see… A-list talent, a hottish leading lady, a rich character history and cowboys mixed with the supernatural. Here’s ...

Dungeon Masters, Rejoice! IDW Nabs D&D License

The current “king of all licenses” (IDW Publishing), has acquired the rights to Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Universe. IDW is planning to dive into the world of D&D with both feet, already announcing a comic based on the core world, a Dark Sun based title and a Forgotten Realms series in addition to deluxe reprints of material printed at other companies. Renowned fantasy painter Wayne Reynolds will be supplying covers for the launch of the new series. The D&D lic...

Is a Live-Action Bleach Movie in Our Future?

MTV’s Splash Page is reporting that director Peter Segal (Tommy Boy, Get Smart) and his Callahan Filmworks partner Michael Ewing are negotiating to produce a live-action version of the hit anime, Bleach, with Viz Media and Warner Bros. Seems Segal is trying to prove he can do a dark action movie as well as goofy comedies… even though his has no plans to direct Bleach. // Creator, Tite Kubo, began Bleach in Japan in 2001 and it has since become both a hit manga and anime series. Bleach fol...

The Undercover Fanboy Interviews Writer Tom Taylor

I was recently able to sit down with writer Tom Taylor to talk about his upcoming comic, Star Wars: Invasion - Rescues and some other projects he’s been working on. UcFb: Star Wars: Invasion - Refugees was a hit with comic fans. Now that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series has ended, will Invasion become a regular series or just a series of mini-series? Tom Taylor:  With the amount of story I’d like to tell, I’d like to see it go weekly… or maybe hourly. For now, we will just...

Transformers 3 Casting News

Variety is reporting that Michael Bay has added some serious acting cred to Transformers 3 by casting John Malkovich and Frances McDormand. No word on how they will be appearing, but Shia LaBeouf is confirmed and Megan Fox hasn’t been ruled out even with her demanding more screen time from Bay. I’m actually getting worried now that Malkovich and McDormand have been added. I had hoped all along that as we get further into the movies, the less we would need to have humans in major roles. The movie...

New Trailer For Kick-Ass Hits

When Watchmen was announced as a movie, all of comicfandom held their collective breaths and thoroughly enjoyed Zack Snyder’s adaptation of a truly beloved and groundbreaking story. Nevertheless, it didn’t do the numbers that Hollywood expected it to. Kick-Ass is going to have a different result. This is going to quickly become a cult favorite movie that breaks all kinds of records and puts Nic Cage back on the road to financial success. Mark Millar & Matthew Vaughns’s Kick-Ass debuts April ...
