Week of Geek; Back to the Future, 25th Anniversary

1985: eccentric scientist Dr. Emmett “˜Doc’ Brown (Christopher Lloyd) has turned his glorious DeLorean sports car into a time machine. After an attack by disgruntled Libyan terrorists, Doc is killed in a shower of machine gun fire. His young friend [no funny business] Marty (Michael J. Fox) escapes in the DeLorean and upon reaching 88 MPH is transported to the year 1955 — the year his parents met and Doc invented time travel. Can Marty convince the Doc of 30 years ago that he is really from the future and get him to help him to get back to the future? More than that, can he spurn the advances of his teenage mother? Hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s go back in time.

When a movie begins with the words “˜Steven Spielberg Presents’ as far am I’m concerned it might as well be stamped with “˜you are gonna love this’, because far more often than not, it’s true. This month marks the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest movies of all time that begins with such a statement: Back to the Future. In the quarter of a century that has passed since its opening weekend on July 3, 1985, there are not many movie fans who haven’t seen Back To The Future. And I’m sure the number is even smaller of the people who do not like this movie.

The Geeks of Doom   |  @   |  

By Willie Gillis

After years of having the same look, Wonder Woman is getting a makeover. In Wonder Woman #600 of Wonder Woman, released in comic shops today, the Amazon Princess gets a modern redesign of her legendary costume. The costume, redesigned by DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee, coincides with the start of a new creative team on the book as well as a new adventure for Wonder Woman. The new team consists of writer J. Michael Straczynski and artists Don Kramer and Michael Babinski.

Check out Wonder Woman in her new costume here at right (click image for larger, full view).

The direction for the book puts Wonder Woman in a modern era where her original origin story has been altered. The world she would have known is now destroyed and her Amazon race is in danger of extinction. Wonder Woman’s world is now in an urban setting where she knows little about her previous life and she will have to fight to survive.

The Movie God   |  @   |  

The first trailer for Gore Verbinksi‘s new animated movie Rango has been released online. The movie features Johnny Depp in the lead role, a lizard named Rango who’s struggling with an identity crisis.

This is just a teaser trailer, but you’ll get a good feel of the movie. The animation is solid and you’ll hear a little of the not-so-Johnny-Depp-sounding lizard.

The thing that will really stand out to some fans is the nod to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the famed author Hunter S. Thompson. Depp played a Thompson-esq character in Fear and Loathing, and will again in the upcoming book adaptation, The Rum Diaries.

Find yourself and head on over to the other side to check out the first teaser trailer for Rango.

The Final Destination

Bloody-Disgusting has uncovered a bit of information regarding Warner Brothers Pictures fifth installment in the Final Destination franchise. And though we don’t know much about the movie itself, what we read here could just say a lot about what direction the horror flick is heading in.

We won’t waste your time — let’s get right to it. According to the source, Warner Bros. is currently leaning toward calling their new movie 5NAL DESTINATION. Yes, that’s actually what words are indicating could be the new title. Five-nal Destination. Seriously.

The Movie God   |  @   |  

*UPDATE* In case you have not heard, this news turned out to be completely false. Just a couple of days later, Sony announced that their Peter Parker was actually Andrew Garfield. (Read: CHECK THAT: Andrew Garfield To Play New Spider-Man, NOT Josh Hutcherson)

It’s been a bit of a wild ride since Spider-Man 3 came and went, leaving a sour taste in the mouths of fans near and far. Spider-Man 4 was well into development when Sony suddenly decided to throw it all away and start over fresh. Since then we’ve learned that (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb would be replacing Sam Raimi, but who would take on the coveted role of Peter Parker for this new Spidey vision?

Many names, as expected, have been rumored over the past months, but now it looks as though one name stands alone: Josh Hutcherson. According to Blue Sky Disney (via Latino Review), Sony has chosen the young actor after many candidates were screen tested for the role.
