'THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA' - Due in theaters July 22, 2011
Source: ComingSoon.net
Finally starting to get some early movement on where the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie will be going.
[Director Joe] Johnston confirmed at the press conference that the Red Skull will indeed be the villain of the first movie.
Joe Johnston:
“Virtually the entire story except the bookends are in World War II because we all recognize we have one chance to tell the origin story of how he became Captain America, you can’t tell a modern story and then go back and tell the origin story.”
Synopsis: When twelve calendar models begin to disappear from a remote cabin the girlie video they are shooting becomes the first Reality Horror movie.
Directed by Sawa Suicide, ‘SUICIDE GIRLS MUST DIE’, heads straight to DVD on March 12th, 2010.
Universal Pictures has announced the “The Twilight Saga” star Taylor Lautner will will play the title character in Stretch Armstrong, which will be made in 3D.

Right on time considering Hollwoods reboot, remake, sequel mentality and the current trend in favor of comic book properties. Also – seven years since the disaster that was DAREDEVIL starring Ben Affleck as sightless attorney Matt Murdock turned super sensory enhanced costumed crime fighter who patrolled NYC’s “Hells Kitchen”.
Regency is mounting the remake with former News Corp No. 2 Peter Chernin producing. Writing the redo is screenwriter David Scarpa.
“Use it or lose it” in effect:
Hollywood studios with Marvel superheroes need to keep reinventing these Marvel movie franchises or the rights revert back to Disney-based Marvel.
The studio rights for the Marvel characters are currently spread around in such a way that The Avengers will never team up with The X-Men, Fantastic 4, The X-Men, Spider-Man, or Daredevil.
THRALL WORLD wishful thinking would have as our MOST sought after Marvel Team-Up a meeting between Daredevil and Spider-Man with Spider-Man hanging out with the Fantastic 4 a distant second. Some newer school comic fanboys would probably favor a Spider-Man and Wolverine encounter.
I guess we’ll all just have to sit around and What If amongst ourselves..

Also, the widely panned new album title ‘SOUL SUCKA’ has led Ozzy to pull the plug on the title with a new title TBA soon. Said OO:
“When we put that on the Internet none of my fan base liked the title. They were like, ‘I can’t imagine me walking around the fucking house with the words ‘Soul Sucka’ on my T-shirt.’ So I was like, ‘Fuck it. I’ve got to come up with something else!’ ”
Still a couple of dates on Ozzy’s ‘I AM OZZY’ book-signing tour:

2.03.09 – 7:00 p.m. – Barnes And Noble @ 7881 Edinger Ave in Huntington Beach, CA
HULK, THOR, IRON MAN, and CAPTAIN AMERICA will anchor 'THE AVENGERS'

Starting to sound like the plan. But will the Hulk be friend or foe?? THRALL WORLD has heard rumors going as far back as late 2008 of the Hulk actually being the “villian” – a la a rampaging Hulk – which was a typical storyline every few years if you read The Incredible Hulk comic book. At some point when the Hulk went apeshit the heroes of the Marvel Universe had to bring take the big green guy down. And that, of course, was always easier said than done.
The latest from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige:
“By the time ‘The Avengers’ comes in 2012, it’s not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It’s three people – four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury – who you’ve seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.”
He also goes on to explain that they want to do a second Hulk movie with ED NORTON but that it definitely will not be until after ‘THE AVENGERS’ hits theaters on May, 4th 2012.
Director Guy Ritchie has set aside the planned “Lobo” film to clear his schedule for a fast-tracked “Holmes” sequel, according to producer Joel Silver.
Silver is a producer of “Holmes” as well as “Lobo.”
Sam Worthington, making his first deal since the success of “Avatar,” is in negotiations to star in “Dracula Year Zero,” a period vampire epic Alex Proyas is set to direct for Universal.
[The movie] explores the origin of Dracula, weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler. It seeks to depict Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war.
MEGADETH will perform 1990’s Rust in Peace, in its entirety, in addition to other MEGADETH set list favorites.

FX’s President and General Manager, John Landgraf, has confirmed that a ‘POWERS’ pilot is in the works and that POWERS creator BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS is heavily involved. Also: Bendis’s collaborator is KEVIN FALLS who is best known for his work on JOURNEYMAN.
POWERS was a great ride during the dozen or so issues I picked up. Told from the perspective of two detectives who try to get to the bottom of the crime scenes they get called in to solve – which always involve super heroes. POWERS – if it stays true to the comic book and focuses on story and some mature themes – should annihilate HEROES.
