After The Avengers finally arrives next summer, many have wondered where Marvel Studios would go from there. Would they move right into sequels to their Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America titles, or would they bring a new superhero to life on the big screen?

What exactly Marvel ultimately decides to do is still unknown, but one possibility remains to be Doctor Strange, who’s been talked about as a potential movie for some time now.

According to Twitch, a script that was being worked on by Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Sahara, Conan the Barbarian [2011]) has been completed and turned in. Also, it’s being said that Marvel is now looking for possible directors, and has forwarded candidates said script in hopes of finding someone soon to bring in to “oversee continued development” on the project.

Whether the script that Oppenheimer and Donnelly turned in is the one that Marvel will actually use or not remains to be seen, but progress on the film is being made. [...]

Recently Starz released the first trailer for season two of their hit show, Spartacus, this time around being called Spartacus: Vengeance. Unfortunately for us, it was of the ultra–teaser variety, and very little was actually shown.

It was, however, promised that a longer trailer would arrive soon, and Starz has made good on that promise. The trailer is still of the teaser variety—clocking in at only a minute and thirty–nine seconds—but this time around questions are answered. Almost everything we’ve been wondering about who would return, what the second season will be about, and who exactly is out for vengeance is touched on, and couple of very interesting people are involved.

You can see the teaser trailer for Spartacus: Vengeance by clicking on over to the other side now! Be warned: the trailer is along the same lines as a red band trailer, contains some pretty graphic imagery, and should be considered NSFW. [...]

The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur, to be perfectly honest, and during that time a brand new extended trailer for season 2 of The Walking Dead found its way to the ‘net. If you missed it, however, now’s your chance to check it out…and you’ll be happy you did.

The trailer was released for the recent San Diego Comic–Con, and it runs about four and a half insane minutes. If you weren’t excited about the second season yet or have been trying to get psyched up, this little ditty should do the trick.

Starring: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks, David Costabile and Jeremiah Bitsui
Air date: July 17, 2011

Arguably the best show on television, AMC’s Breaking Bad recently returned for its Season 4 premiere and kicked things off with a bang. We’ve got your spoiler-free review here of the season opener after the break.

Well? Get back to work.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you start a season.

I’m always interested to see how Breaking Bad will reinvent itself as it returns each season, but this season looks to be the most interesting experiment yet. Picking up mere seconds after last year’s finale, we find out the cruel fate of Gale (David Costabile), just minutes after finding out what really did him in. However, Gale was marked for death the second Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) discovered there was a superior product on the market. The best Gale could produce was a 96% pure sample, compared to Walter’s purity of 99%. Whatever the future held for Gale before his death didn’t matter, it seems it would have been short regardless [...]

The entire Star Wars saga will be released for the first time on Blu-ray on September 16, 2011 in the United States, with three different versions available for purchase.

There’s the entire saga Blu-ray box set, Star Wars: The Complete Saga, that’s currently available for pre-order at Amazon for $89.99, which is a great price for all six movies, plus tons of bonus features (which are listed here below).

But Amazon just lowered the pre-order price to $39.99 each for the Star Wars: Prequel Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set with Episodes I-III) and Star Wars: Original Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set with Episodes IV-VI). The lowered pre-order price is 43% off the list price of $69.99.

Not only is this a great price for these trilogy box sets, but Amazon is offering their Pre-order Price Guarantee on these sets, which means that if you pre-order these items and the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price [...]
