Ladies and geeks, Comic-Con is upon us yet again. As the convention floor opens this evening to give everyone a sneak peak at the fun to come, we have been meticulous examining the panels and presentations schedule for Hall H this year and the showing is pretty good.
We learned recently via Aykroyd that a new script was in the works, and now Variety reports that Etan Cohen, who wrote the once-troubled-but-turned-out-good script for Men in Black III, will try his hand at yet another three-quel for Sony.
The Amazing Spider-Man is here, but is a reboot so soon after the original series worth your time? This week on The Plot Hole, the gang – Sam, Simon and Steven – review Spidey’s return to the big screen and weigh in everything from the action to the performances to where the story is headed for the sequel.
The second film in the “Hunger Games” franchise, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, has barely started casting, but neither Lionsgate nor the general public have any doubt of the success of Suzanne Collins‘ books on the big screen, so the studio has already marked down a pair of release dates for the series finale, a two-part split of the final novel in the trilogy, Mockingjay.
We last checked in on Warner Bros.’ vampire flick Harker in February, when Russell Crowe first became attached as one of the lead characters. Now he’s fully on board to star, and Hostel filmmaker Eli Roth is negotiating to direct.
We just learned Michael Fassbender will star in and produce Assassin’s Creed, but news has also broke about two other highly touted titles. CBS Films has acquired the film rights to Square Enix’s Deus Ex, while Universal has found a new writing team for its adaptation of Sony Computer Entertainment’s God of War.
