Watch ComicCenter as the guys talk Captain America casting, Thor filming and how awesome Iron Man 2 is going to be.

A New Black Panther Cartoon We Don’t Get To See?!?

I’m going to try to ask this question as calmly as possible: WHY THE F@$%! DOES AUSTRALIA GET THIS CARTOON AND THE MAIN SUPPORTERS OF THE BLACK PANTHER COMIC BOOK (re: the U.S. buyers) CAN’T EVEN WATCH IT ON THE INTERNET?!? I was so geeked over the announcement of this animated project two years ago and now I get kicked in stomach. BET was advertised as the network that the cartoon would be on, but maybe it was too “racy” for BET - you know how they like to over censor everything. But, hone...

Vin Diesel Set to Star & Produce Sequel To Chronicles of Riddick

Variety is reporting that Vin Diesel has decided to return to the character that helped lauch his career. Reteaming with Pitch Black and Chronicles writer and director David Twohy, this third chapter in the franchise is said to be returning to the tone that Pitch Black set for the character. A shooting date hasn't been set yet as Diesel is trying to workout a shooting schedule for the fifth Fast and the Furious movie and this one. Is this going to be a good thing for Vin's career or is he jus...

The DC Front Office Shake-Up Is Complete

A few months ago, in an obvious reaction to Disney acquiring Marvel, Warner Bros hired Diane Nelson as new President - replacing the longtime Paul Levitz. Nelson has finalized her executive team and announced that Dan Didio and Jim Lee would act as Co-Publishers, Geoff Johns would become Chief Creative Officer, Jim Rood would take on Executive V.P. of Sales and Marketing and Patrick Caldon is now Executive V.P. of Finance and Administration. The last two probably won’t affect the comics too much...

Sgt. Rock Movie To Take Place In The Future?

I was thrilled to hear that DC Comics’ Sgt. Rock was being made in a feature film - especially given the success of WWII movies and shows like Inglorious Basterds, Band of Brothers and Flags of Our Fathers. The Sgt. Rock comics followed U.S. Army Sgt. Rock and his “Easy Company” squad of misfits throughout WWII with their missions primarily taking place in the European Theatre. Made famous by artistic legend, Joe Kubert, Sgt. Rock was a continual thorn in the side of the Nazis and even took time...

Could Push Be Coming To TV?

Summit Entertainment is currently working with E1 Entertainment to adapt the movie Push into a TV series. Screenwriter David Hayter (X2, Scorpion King, X-Men, Watchmen) is currently working on a pilot for the series with his Dark Hero production company. Hayter also voices Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid video games series. Push, a comic inspired movie that was released last year, was directed by Paul McGuigan and starred Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning. It’s a pretty good bet that neither st...

Check Out the Tron Legacy Poster

Please tell me there are people out who have seen Tron. A visual masterpiece in 1983 with effects that still hold up today (just not the fashions…). Disney broke serious ground with this movie and it’s taken over 25 years to gear up a sequel. Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski said in an interview with MTV that principle filming had already wrapped and the effects teams were hard at work on the 3D portions of the sequel. Picking up where the previous movie left off, Tron Legacy follows Sam Fly...

Sony Moves Forward With Spider-Man Movie As A Reboot

Some might not agree with me, but THANK GOD! Sam Raimi pushed a little too far, thinking he was the moneymaker behind the success of the Spider-Man franchise. Wrong. Spider-Man is part of the “Big Three” comic characters known the world over (Spidey, Superman & Batman...). People who don't have running water in third world countries known who Spider-Man is, but not who Raimi is. And after that last abortion of a movie  called Spider-Man 3, the success of the Marvel Studios movies and the sub...

How To Train Your Dragon Movie Trailer

I saw (and bought…) one of the first productions drawings from the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon movie last year while at San Diego Comic-Con. Just from the art, I thought this would be an amazing movie. Add Chris Sanders, the artist responsible for the look of Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and you have an incredible start. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a Dreamworks film, meaning it must be done in CGI. With the call for a return to traditional animation, I think Dreamworks may have missed th...

Disney Release Second Alice In Wonderland Movie Trailer

The more I see, the better it gets. At first, I though Disney was just giving director Tim Burton the right to make a dark, goth version of Alice In Wonderland. After watching this second trailer, this movie deals with Alice returning to Wonderland after her first visit. Since she's been gone, the Red Queen has completely taken over Wonderland. With the return of Alice, the White faction of Wonderland citizens has found its champion a la Joan of Arc. Seems like that Burton has borrowed a little ...
