Another Marvel film this time, although not on the path to The Avengers, but the 1960s origin story X-Men: First Class. This reboots the X-Men franchise with younger (i.e. less expensive) actors and explore how the characters and situations got to be the way they are.
SFX just uploaded this teaser trailer; no info yet on if the tour will be coming to the US or just Europe. If the Torchwood trailer doesn’t work, try watching on YouTube.
A new trailer for the remake of Conan the Barbarian has been released, and I am a lot more likely to see the film now that I have watched it. For tonight’s viewing though Danny Choo’s Culture Japan has launched for free at Crunchyroll. You are never going to get a better understanding of the phenomena than by watching Tokyo’s top Otaku take you behind the scenes of the latest Manga, Anime, Music, and Games, explaining it all. They have a dozen episodes now for premium members (that’s the entire first season!), with 5 online right now for everyone and more coming over the next 2 weeks; enjoy!
Finally the time is here: Thor hits screens everywhere this weekend! We have one more direct release after this, Captain America: The First Avenger, in our build up to the actual Avenger movie itself. Also out this week in limited release is I’m Not Jesus Mommy, a human cloning project who’s one viable fetus was based on DNA taken from the Shroud of Turin.
Courtesy of Wondercon, four minutes of new Green Lantern footage. This may be the closest thing we will ever get to seeing Doc E E Smith’s Grey Lensman books done as a movie, which I always thought was the inspiration for the Green Lantern comic book series. The film hits the big screens on June 17th, and I am seriously looking forward to it.
There s a new Thor trailer, with the movie due out on May 6th.
