J. Michael Straczynski Thinks Kenneth Branagh is Perfect For ‘Thor’
space
Empress Eve   |  @   |  

We recently reported that Kenneth Branagh is in talks to direct Marvel’s planned big-screen adaptation of Thor. While some people have proclaimed “Nooooo!!! to this news, the general opinion around here is that Branagh is a great fit to helm the tale of the God of Thunder.

Apparently, J. Michael Straczynski thinks so too. JMS, who is the writer for Marvel’s current Thor comic book run, said he couldn’t “imagine anyone better suited” to direct the film than Branagh.

“”˜Thor,’ at his best, has always had a classical bent to the character in terms of his history, the way he speaks, and the often Shakespearean intrigues and dramas that surround him. That kind of dialogue and character needs the hand of someone who comes from a theatrical/classically trained background in order for it not to sound forced or artificial. Branagh is absolutely the perfect choice.”

The Movie God   |  @   |  

B&RFilmdrunk found this little ditty among the masses of videos on that YouTube thingy the kids are raving about these days. Basically, it’s everyone’s favorite movie Batman movie — Batman and Robin — edited down to a 10-minute run time.

I highly suggest taking a few Advil before watching this. It could quite possibly be the worst 10 minutes of film ever produced.

Check it out here below.

‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’… The Movie?

The Movie God   |  @   |  

Force UnleashedWhat would you say if you heard that a new Star Wars movie was coming along in the form of an adaptation of the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed?

Would you be furious at the idea of a new non-animated adventure or would you giggle with glee?

Recently, the LA Times spoke to Force Unleashed project leader Haden Blackman, who said it wasn’t as far-fetched as you’d assume.

Oh, [it] would be incredible. And it’s not impossible. Never say never. George [Lucas] has looked to tell new ‘Star Wars’ stories through the games and with the entire Star Wars expanded universe, and then he has also shown a willingness to let the characters come into the films.

Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Graveyard Book’ Out Today!

Empress Eve   |  @   |  

Graveyard BooksGreetings all, the Empress here, coming to you from Disney World in Orlando, FL, where I’ve been enjoying a 6-day vacation here with The Niece. I brought my little angel here to celebrate her 15th birthday and although she’s practically grown up now (and looks it, too), she’s still my baby (and is letting me baby her too).

Why do I bring this up on a post about Neil Gaiman‘s latest release, The Graveyard Book being on sale today? Because on every birthday since her 11th one, I’ve given her an autographed copy of a Neil Gaiman book as part of her gift (this was 2005’s gift – Wolves in the Walls). So after we do some rides at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, in the spirit of tradition, we’re going to head to Downtown Disney to get our copies of The Graveyard Book.

Unfortunately, in order to be on this lovely vacation, we had to miss Gaiman’s book signing in NYC tonight. To comfort ourselves, I might have to also purchase the The Graveyard Book audio CD, as read by Neil Gaiman himself — always a great treat!

Check out the official synopsis of the book here below, as well as a widget, which has a link to Gaiman reading Chapter 1 from the audio book.

Second Trailer For Frank Miller’s ‘Spirit’
space
The Movie God   |  @   |  

The SpiritAfter the first trailer for Frank Miller‘s The Spirit caused a tidal wave of negativity toward the film, it wasn’t likely that anything could save it. Even so, a second trailer has been released for whoever may be interested in checking it out.

Check out the trailer here below.

I will admit, this trailer is far better than the last, but it’s still not good. If all dialogue was taken out, it may just have some positive attention going its way, but alas, there is dialogue and it is horrible to listen to. That paired with the fact that the hero isn’t badass or intimidating and the villain is not only not scary, he’s fairly laughable, which makes for some bad chances here. Oh, and now it also apparently looks as if the movie will be PG-13; not that I know whether this content was ever supposed to be R, but it was probably the only way I might take a peek at it.
