Ever find yourself wanting to become a member of the Brotherhood of Steel while playing through your Fallout 3 campaign?

Most of us would likely crumble trying to wear an entire suit of Power Armor, there’s no doubt. But someone decided to make an awesome replica of one of the helmets, designed to be used on a futuristic motorcycle ride.

I don’t own a motorcycle, nor have I ever owned a motorcycle; but one thing is for sure: I would LOVE to have one of these bad boys. I’d wear it around my house, I don’t care.

You can see more images of this fantastic reproduction by clicking over to the other side, and be sure to head on over to Her Majesty’s Thunder for links to more images showing off the helmet as it was being made by artist Josh Jay. [...]

While speaking to Collider recently during a press day for The Green Hornet at the Sony Pictures lot, producer Neal Moritz shared a significant confirmation on another of his projects: Total Recall.

Though called a remake of sorts with the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name being so popular, this new movie is more of a second adaptation of Philip K. Dick‘s short novel, We Can Remember It for You Wholesale. But who would play the lead role Arnie once played?

Well, according to Moritz, the actor they’ve secured is Colin Farrell. This fits with a subtle-yet-interesting trend of casting much smaller gentlemen in roles Schwarzenegger once played. It also makes plenty of sense — no point in getting your actor compared to the former bodybuilder when you can go in an entirely different direction.

Moritz went on to answer many more questions about the movie, which will begin filming on May 15 in Toronto. You read the whole interview by heading over to the above link, but we’ll try and note some of the more intriguing goodies. [...]

It’s a day MANY of us have been waiting for, the highly anticipated DC Universe Online was released today for Playstation 3, and PC!

If you have seen any of the trailers, then you know why we are so excited for this game, and if you frequent this site, chances are you are just the type of person also be excited. Who doesn’t want to go around the DC universe, hanging out with Superman? Or punching Lex Luthor in the face?

There’s also a Collectors Edition of the game available, which comes with a collectible limited-edition Batman figure; a DCUO prestige comic of the game’s back-story as written by Geoff Johns; The Art of DC Universe Online art book with art from Jim Lee and the team at DC Comic’s Wildstorm Productions; and the new DCUO comic book, Legends Issue#0, with an original cover by Jim Lee; as well as The Joker’s Flying Jester in-game Weapon System for Villains and the Bat Drone in-game Weapon System for Heroes [...]

The $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury today is the Fantastic Four-inspired “Twister Champion” shirt, by artist Naolito.

The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Tuesday, January 11, 2011) and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it’s gone from the site for good.

The design has Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic of The Fantastic Four superhero team, twisting himself up using his super-stretch ability for a game of Twister.

The limited-edition t-shirt is available in Men’s sizes in Silver and Women’s sizes in Natural [...]

There’s some new concept art that has appeared on the interwebs that might just reveal the exact look of The Red Skull, along with an image of Johann Schmidt (The Red Skull pre-facial mutilation!) holding The Cosmic Cube in Captain America: The First Avenger.

The Red Skull is the big bad guy facing off against Mr. Red, White, and Blue in the upcoming feature film. This image appears to be in the same style as earlier concept art of the red headed character. In the film, Steve Rogers becomes Captain America after signing up for a secret military program to make him a super soldier to fight the Nazis. The Red Skull is Hitler’s henchman in charge of advance weaponry; he has a plan for world domination involving the magical object known as the Tesseract (or The Cosmic Cube) [...]

After months of assuming that stars Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis would be returning for Peter Jackson‘s two-part adaptation of The Hobbit, but wondering just what was taking so long to officially lock them up, it’s been finally announced that the two actors will definitely be reprising their roles.

McKellen was Academy Award nominated for his work as Gandalf in Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Serkis should have gotten an Oscar nomination for his performance capture work as Gollum — both of which are important characters in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s first adventure in that world, The Hobbit. We’ve already heard of plenty of LOTR characters who weren’t part of The Hobbit but were being used anyway, so many worried where these two all-crucial actors were and why their casting was delayed.

Now that McKellen and Serkis are confirmed, all seems to be in place for the most part. There’s still casting to be done and work to complete before filming can ensue, but it looks like all systems are go for the planned February 14 start date. [...]

The Point One initiative is Marvel’s latest attempt at bringing new readers to some of their comics. They will be crafted to be great starting points for first-timers to the series. It all begins in February with the release of Invincible Iron Man 500.1. The Eisner-winning creative team of writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larroca that have made this series a must-read will be starting a new story arc in this issue as well as setting up all of the characters and as Marvel puts it “providing a unique insight into the mind of Tony Stark”.

Invincible Iron Man 500.1 hits store shelves February 2, 2011 for a buck cheaper than the regular books, also in an attempt to try and get new readers to give this series a try.

We have a bevy of images below for you to check out from the upcoming issue! [...]

The Silver Surfer is one of those characters that has had trouble carrying his own series. He’s a fantastic guest star in other comics but he just hasn’t found enough popularity to carry a full series in a long time. J. Michael Straczynski killed the tortured ex-herald of Galactus off in a dramatic short run called Requiem and he was entertaining in the Annihilation event too. The Surfer may be one of those characters that’s just best suited to short stories and guest appearances.

Marvel is Surfing With The Alien once more with a 5-issue story from New York Times bestselling author Greg Pak and artist Stephen Segovia. In this story the wielder of the power cosmic returns to Earth and will face the High Evolutionary. As always Marvel is promising a game changing epic story.

Here are some early images from the upcoming story, which begins in February with Silver Surfer #1! [...]

For those who are not aware, yes, Baz Luhrmann, the director behind visually stunning musicals like Moulin Rouge! and beloved story re-imaginings like Romeo + Juliet, is working on a new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s classic novel, The Great Gatsby.

The movie is currently set to star Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire with hopes for release at some point in 2012, but it was something that Luhrmann said at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that has eyebrows raising the world ’round.

Luhrmann said that though no official decision has been made, he has “workshopped” Gatsby using 3D technologies and that he might ultimately decide to create his version of the story about glitz and glam and bootlegging during post World War I Prohibition in the roaring 1920s.

The use of 3D still remains yet to be seen, of course, but it will truly be interesting to see how fans of this classic American story and purists react if Luhrmann decides to make the movie using the hit-and-miss technology. [...]

Winnie the Pooh is a character that means a lot to a great deal of people, who all grew up with the lovable simpleton of a stuffed bear.

Now nostalgia is preparing to overtake you once again, as Walt Disney has a brand new movie simply titled Winnie the Pooh, which will be the first original big-screen Pooh movie in over 35 years. The movie will be presented in classic Disney hand-drawn style, and very little has changed in the Hundred Acre Wood.

The movie now has an official release date, set to hit theaters on July 15, 2011, and a brand new poster you can check out by clicking the image above.

A lot of very cool tidbits of information in regard to the movie have also been released, which you can check out by clicking on over to the other side. While there, you can also watch the highly nostalgic trailer if you’ve yet to see it! [...]

CBM (through a link through Italian website Badtaste.it) is reporting that C. Thomas Howell has been cast in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot.

Apparently, Howell posted to his private Facebook page, “I have just sign the deal for new Spider-Man’s movie! I will start the work on January 25th [...]”

No word yet on what role he’ll play or how much screen time he’ll get.

I’ll be honest, I had no real interest in this reboot… until now!

Yes, I said that with zero sarcasm. Howell is one of my favorite actors from the 80s (Ponyboy!), and I hope he makes a huge comeback. He most recently guest-starred on an episode of Psych from Season 5, One, Maybe Two, Ways Out [...]

Artist Bill Mudron created this Doctor Who – Dr. Seuss mash-up called The Cat in the Hat Came Back (eventually).

The piece puts the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who (played on the series by Matt Smith) in the role of The Cat In The Hat, the title character of the popular Dr. Seuss tale. The Doctor’s companions Amy and Rory are drawn as Thing 1 and Thing 2, respectively. The scene is a memorable illustration from the Dr. Seuss book, as The Doctor is balancing lots of items, some of which are from the Seuss story (the umbrella, the goldfish bowl), while others are Doctor Who-related, like the TARDIS-themed diary [...]

It’ll be just like Beggar’s Canyon back home!

The t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is the Star Wars-inspired “Droid Drive In.”

The tee, by artist Matt Wrightson, went on sale at RIPT today, Monday, January 10, 2010, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

The t-shirt is available in men’s and women’s sizes in beige for $10 each. Kids sizes are $15 (Boys, Girls, and Toddler, all white); Onesies are $18 (in white). You can also get the design on a Hoodie for $38 (in white in Men/Unisex sizes).

The design features the C-3PO character from the Star Wars franchise. The golden droid is at the Beggar’s Canyon drive-in, which boasts that it’s “Serving all kinds” (droids have some trouble getting served, especially on Tatooine, where Beggar’s Canyon is located). The droid is standing in front of a landspeeder, a popular vehicle on the sand planet, and judging by the hat he’s wearing and the tray he’s carrying with a burger and fries on it, it appears that C-3PO is a server at this drive-in [...]

The $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury today is Battlestar Galactica-inspired “So Say We Can Do Itl” shirt, by artist Bregan1989.

The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Monday, January 10, 2011) and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it’s gone from the site for good.

The design is actually a mash-up of the revamped Battlestar Galactica and the popular “Rosie The Riveter” poster, with the Starbuck character (played on the series by Katee Sackhoff) in the Rosie stance. The saying on the shirt is “So Say We All,” which is the credo of BSG (the Rosie poster’s motto was “We Can Do It!” so the shirt’s name is a mash-up of the two sayings) [...]

It’s easy to see why Hollywood loves a good superhero story. The genre has become so popular over the past couple of years, it’s no wonder why everyone is in such a rush to strike while the iron is hot and cash in on the trend. While the story in a superhero movie like The Dark Knight is a great one, providing the essential themes of good versus evil and the power of one man, etc., The Cape tries to follow that same method for success.

The difference between these two is that the television series The Cape, which debut on Sunday January 9, 2011, isn’t The Dark Knight. Not that it’s really intending to be, but it’s not even as good as other superhero television shows.

The premise for The Cape sounded like something that, on paper, should be a great execution of the genre. A cop gets framed for a crime he didn’t commit! He turns over to a life of heroics to protect the ones he loves!

But that sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe even a little bit too familiar? [...]

This past October we were informed that after many failed attempts to turn Wonder Woman into a popular movie franchise, DC Comics would be teaming up with Warner Brothers TV and top-tier showrunner, David E. Kelley, in hopes of developing a new TV series based on the popular comic book heroine.

Sadly, for fans of the superhero who have been itching to see her in some form of modern live-action entertainment, this day will not come any time soon.

After writing a spec script for the pilot episode, Kelley and friends set off to make their pitch to the various networks. Fox turned them down, as did ABC, who are owned by Disney, the company that recently purchased Marvel for $4 billion. You can see where that might be an issue.

After that, the CW took a peek but ultimately decided it would cost way too much for them to acquire, leaving NBC and CBS. With those two, it just seemed to be a matter of poor timing — CBS was partially interested but unable to convince all executives, while NBC is in the middle of solidifying their team. [...]
