The Borg Queen joins Thor : The Dark World . Hugh Jackman promises The Wolverine wo n’t be anything like Wolverine . Has a verbal description of the first Iron Man 3 trailer leaked ? Plus the latest encouraging reaction from Cloud Atlas test screenings !
spoiler from here on out !
Top paradigm from Cloud Atlas .
Hugh Jackman substantiate once again that this motion-picture show will have no connections to the other X - Men movies beyond his presence . Indeed , he even recognize why stay the hell away from X - Men Origins : Wolverine can only be a good thing :
“ We ’ve deliberately not call it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and sense like a standalone characterisation . With an all - novel mould and setting it in Japan , it ’s going to give us a whole newfangled ocular aesthetic . The approach to graphic symbol means we wo n’t be overloaded with mutants and team and the like , so it ’ll be more character - based . I call up in many ways it will experience like a all different X - Men moving-picture show . I ’m just really glad it ’s happening . For a while it ’s felt like a rocky ride . I think it ’s the good mind we ’ve had , the strongest script we ’ve had and that now we really have an chance to make something really great . ”

Alice Krige , the Borg Queen herself ( well , one of them anyway ) , reportedly bring out that she has a small , potentially unrecognisable role in the film , potentially much like Colm Feore ’s bout as Laufey the King of the Frost Giants in the first picture show . Since Christopher Eccleston is suppose to be play Malekith the Accursed ( although I ’m not really certain that ’s 100 % confirmed just yet ) and a stuntman mentioned that he was doing homework work to play one of the Dark Elves , the current speculation is that Krige would play Alflyse , the queen of the Dark Elves and the Svartalfheim realm . Because really , what else is Alice Krige start to work but an evil nance of some sort ? That ’s just what she does . [ Comic Book Movie ]
Take this with as openhanded a grain of salt as you could possibly muster ( or perhaps as small as you muster up — I never have figured out how it work with grain of salinity ) , but a description of the first Iron Man 3 trailer has leak . Here are some highlights :
“ It opens with a voice over of Tony Stark talking about how the events of New York ( I ’m accept the Avenger Movie ) changed him , and how he ’s just not ‘ into it ’ anymore . First scene is Iron Man with battle damage , laying down amid detritus and take [ off ] his faceplate to show a bleeding Stark . Scenes of him argue with Pepper Potts in the armoury ( coolheaded shots of alternative Iron Man suit include the blood-red white and blue one we ’ve seen already ) , press conferences , Tony looking solemn , Tony talking with someone who search like a psychiatrist , and a forgetful shot of Don Cheadle in military uniform ( no War Machine in the preview) … We then get a voice over from Ben Kingsley , talking about how there there are no hero and how he will teach everyone , especially Stark , a lesson . This is over scenes of the substitute Suits getting blown up , Stark go away into surgery , and a fleet of helicopters launching missiles which ball up Stark ’s abode up and asunder ( the CGI looked virtually finished ) and place Stark and Pepper into the sea below . Then a close up of Kingsley with no helmet in the Mandarin armour .

It ’s looking increasingly likely that twentieth Century Fox is just go to go ahead and dispense with the rights to Daredevil a brace month from now . Since the rumour of Marvel Studios letting Fox keep Daredevil in exchange for Galactus and the Silver Surfer have been call into motion , the only option leave behind for Fox may be to get a temerarious movie into yield as tight as humanly possible , perhaps with a co - financing spate with Disney to buy them some extra time . That plan , of path , requires them finding a director , and the only person who has actually said he wants the job , The Grey director Joe Carnahan , tweeted this yesterday :
Think my idea for a sure retro , red - suit , Serpico - styled superhero went up in smoke today kids … We shall see . Time is NOT on anyone ’s side .
While it ’s possible Fox just did n’t like his idea and still wants to find someone else , you ’d kind of figure they ’re very much at the “ beggar ca n’t be chooser ” degree , assuming they still actually want to make this movie . As such , the safe bet is they have probably just given up on Daredevil . [ IGN ]

A new round of reactions to various test screenings have emerged for Tom Twyker and the Wachowskis ’ adaptation of David Mitchell ’s giddily music genre - straddle novel . The response continues to be quite positive , with some noting that it ’s unconvincing to be an Oscar rival ( to which I answer : who really wish ? ) and that it ’s a morsel of a mess ( to which I say : I ’m not certain how it could n’t be at least a bit of a pot ) . Anyway , here ’s one of the more electropositive reviews , which seems to give one of the better overviews of what to expect from the film :
Most of the actors had either a cross - gender or grouchy - ethnic role . Notable honorable mention are Halle Berry as a blank charwoman from the early 1900s , Zhu Zhu as a Mexican menage cleaner , and Hugo Weaving as the bountiful , ugliest geriatric nurse I have ever seen . For the most part , this work . It ’s definitely a bit left to see it on screen but with the help of some sincerely phenomenal makeup piece of work and dandy carrying out by the player , the portraiture go from amusing to believable somewhat chop-chop .

This film is unbelievably challenging . The six story are edited into one so there is little to no downtime during the movie . The physical composition and costume will utterly be nominated for Oscars while visual personal effects have a great prospect as well because of how subtle and artistically done they are . This film is a bit goofy in ways . You have to be ok with Tom Hanks encounter six different character in the movie . You have to be ok with realistic tale being interlaced with far next stories . Self referential humor about absurd things . Overall our consultation very much enjoy the film . They gave it a decent rhythm of applause at the end and it was pin drop tranquil while everyone was satisfy out their belief cards . I ’m very interested to see how the public and critic enjoy it .

Now that this matter seems to be really happening and Galaxy Quest ’s Dean Parisot is reportedly on board to direct , it ’s prison term to sing about the story . Star Keanu Reeves explain how this belated sequel will very much admit the fact that he and Alex Winter are both push 50 and how this movie plays around with the complex mythology ( no , do n’t express mirth … well , OK , maybe a footling ) of the Bill & Ted saga :
One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever write and to change the world . And they have n’t done it . So everybody is kind of like : “ Where is the birdcall ? ” The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lose their sway . And we go on this expedition , go into the future to discover out if we wrote the Song dynasty , and one future “ us ” refuses to tell us , and another future “ us ” blames us for their life because we did n’t compose the song , so they ’re living this terrible life . In one version we ’re in jail ; in another we ’re at some kind of highway motel and they detest us .
