The 70s Weren't Kind to Professor X

Day or so back, a Russian fansite spotted Hugh Jackman lounging around the X-Men: Days of Future Past set. The only thing to take from those pictures is confirmation Wolverine won't sport the same aged look, as depicted in the famous comic arc. They've cemented (since the 2000 intro film) Logan physically stopped aging past 35-ish. So there’s not much one can do to steer away at this point.

Surprisingly, that doesn't hold true for Professor X. From Bryan Singer's Twitter (Where else?) is the first look at James McAvoy on set and in character. Less dapper than we're used to see old, err, young Chuck. Hairier too with the hashtag "Serpico."

Only that's closer to Jim Morrison or Charles Manson, Bryan.

New "The Hangover Part III" Poster - This Is The Best Day Of My Life

This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

Gravity Trailer

It has been too long since Alfonso Cuaron has had a film in theaters. That alone shot aware for his latest project Gravity.

Then details started filtering out. Of its space setting, of the heavy usage of motion-capture, Cuaron pulling up his sleeves and filming it in 3D, plans for the opening 20 minute introduction with no cut-away.

And then the delays, from losing original stars Angelina Jolie and Robert Downey Jr. to settle with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney to the release date setbacks (It was originally set for last year; currently scheduled for this October). I say this. All of this wait... it's worth it, thanks to this trailer.

Superman Suits Up With National Guard Heroes In Man Of Steel Spot

He might be played by an Englishman but make no mistake. A real attempt is being made to reestablish the strong American roots of Superman for Man of Steel. It's not a coincidence we've seen several official production stills with Henry Cavill standing in front of the American flag.

That association continues with this ad for the National Guard, titled Soldier of Steel, including new footage of Supes in action. Thanks to Hey U Guys for the head's up.

Official Plot Synopsis for DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Revealed

With principal photography commencing for 20th Fox's sequel to it's 2011 preboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the big Fox has revealed the plot for 2014's sequel.

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

The cast includes Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Public Enemies), Gary Oldman (Robocop, The Fifth Element),  Toby Kebbell (The Prince of Persia, Wrath of the Titans), Kerri Russell (FX's "The Americans"), Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, The Road), Enrique Murciano (Black Hawk Down), Kirk Acevedo (The Thin Red Line), and Judy Greer (The Descendants, 13 Going on 30), and Andy Serkis (King Kong, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) reprising his role as Caesar.

The film, directed by Matt Reeves (Let Me In, CLOVERFIELD) is set for Memorial Day Weekend, May 23, 2014.

Anyone else excited? I loved "Rise" and this sounds like the movie all the Apes' fans have been waiting for. Cast looks great, and time only means good things for WETA's advancements in the field of VFX and Mo-cap.

Poster And Trailer For "Redemption"

Reeling from a traumatic tour of duty in Afghanistan, Joey (Jason Statham), an ex-Special Forces soldier, returns to London to face another kind of war: life on the streets as a damaged, homeless veteran. In an attempt to rehabilitate himself, Joey assumes another man’s identity and seeks the aid of Sister Cristina (Agata Buzek), a young nun who works at an inner-city parish. But Joey’s expert training as a soldier marks him as a valuable asset, and he soon finds himself caught in the dark web of London’s criminal underworld. Struggling to keep hold of his integrity, Joey offers his profits to those who need it most. But when he learns his missing girlfriend was brutally murdered by a ruthless kingpin, he risks everything for bloody revenge, hurtling down a deadly path that promises to destroy him completely…or be his last and only hope at redemption.

Megan Fox Sexes Up Ninja Turtles Set As Yellow Jacketed April O'Neil

Yesterday a plethora of blogs and websites were plastered with photos of the pretty much perfect Megan Fox on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Killing a pair of yoga pants and jumping on a trampoline she's like no other April O'Neil I've seen before. I'm fairly certain those shots resulted in many a fanboy storing their laptop under their mattress for night.

That is, unless said fanboys were upset that Megan Fox wasn't wearing April Oneil's trademark jacket, which actually did happen in real life. Let me get this straight, you want to see Megan Fox wearing MORE clothing? What.

Pictures of the Megan Fox with more clothes on, including the famous yellow jacket above. Also, the shots from yesterday with Fox bouncing up and down on a trampoline The Man Show style below, because why not?  All courtesy of COMINGSOON.NET

'21 Jump Street' Sequel Moves to June 13th, 2014

With news coming out earlier today that Universal has put an indefinite hold on Jurassic Park 4 (didn't anyone else find it odd that not a single cast member had been announced yet?), Sony has wasted no time in filling the vacancy, moving their 21 Jump Street sequel to June 13th of next year.

Not that it made much of a difference for the film as it had been originally scheduled to open only a week earlier, but I think this just shows how much confidence the studio has in the follow-up to last year's surprise hit (honestly, I don't think there's a single person I've talked to who didn't love the first movie and found it to be absolutely hilarious).

I think with the rising star power of both Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum - not to mention the return of the same crew including Korean Jesus - this movie can do well over $200 million domestically, IF it keeps the same style and tone as the first flick (which I don't see why they wouldn't).

Filming on the sequel is set to begin this Fall with Officers Schmidt and Jenko heading off to college (I'm telling you, this is gonna be great!).

Jurassic Park 4 in Hibernation

Productions get delayed all the time for a multitude of reasons. It's not always indicative of a bad product in the making. But when said project is a month shy of principal photography, and a headline making release date looming over their heads, yes it means something is wrong.

Amid rumors began last night by miscellaneous crew who had just received word they lost their jobs, Universal has suspended Jurassic Park 4. The studio yanked the fourquel from its June 13, 2014.

Good luck getting any reason behind this decisively vague statement they released:

"In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise."

They're saving face here. What about is anyone's guess. Could be they don't have faith in Colin Trevorrow (hired in March) and his ability to deliver a pricey effects-driven blockbuster. They insist he will stay onboard to direct. Or it may be economically driven, i.e. too expensive to produce in such a short amount of time and expect profitability.

Jurassic Park 4 will see the light of day. The brand-name is too big to let languish in Development Hell forever.

Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity Gets a Poster

While we wait, Warner Brothers presents the poster via Twitter.
