London has a major role in the new James Bond film Skyfall. Director Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench discuss filming in the iconic city in a new videoblog courtesy 007.com.
“Bond opens a few doors,” Craig explains about the access the crew received.
“Sam and I wanted to make it British,” Craig reveals, “and it’s not some flag waving thing that either one of us is interested in…it’s just about basing Bond in Britain.”
Take a look:
Skyfall is set in England, Scotland, China and Turkey. Skyfall opens November, 2012.
Vin Diesel as the Vision in Avengers 2? Images of the the android have been posted on the actor’s Facebook page according to ComicBook.com which has fans and bloggers speculating so I thought I’d sound off.
I can picture Diesel as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy…maybe even as Thanos.
After seeing Prometheus my vision for the Vision is Michael Fassbender.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES” YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST
SERIOUSLY
OK
HERE IT COMES
ONE LAST CHANCE
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance as John Blake an outstanding performance in The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan left us with an intriguing possibility for the future of Batman…perhaps a Dark Knight Legacy.
Police officer John Blake aka Robin was a hybrid of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake. In the end John appears to be rising to become Gotham City’s new protector.
Would the actor take on a lead role in a giant franchise like Batman?
“I always choose scripts the same way,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “If it’s a great script and a great filmmaker, then I’m interested.”
The star faced the question on Tuesdays Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“I don’t think [the ending of The Dark Knight Rises] is necessarily a set-up. I think it is the great ending for that trilogy,” he said. “Even if you go back to Batman Begins, he’s talking about how Batman is more than a man, it’s a symbol, and a hero can be anybody and we all have heroes inside of us.”
“We’re NASA and We Know It” is a video from a Seattle crew that celebrates the men and women behinds of Mars hopes and dreams and parodies LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It.”
David and Steve Hudson of cinesauraus.com are actors, editors and special effects gurus of this hilarious spoof.
Great comic book shops, creators and cons plus all the computer and space geeks and these creatives – got to love Seattle!
Thanks to Geekwire for making my day! I needed this! I have a former Boeing buddy whose new employer in Seattle helped make part of the Curiosity.
Storm is joining the staff of the Jean Grey School in Wolverine and the X-Men #20 and #21 according to Marvel November solitics. The teaser is for Frankenstein’s Murder Circus coming to town and looks like the staff (including Logan and Bobby) are unwittingly joining the circus.
I love that Storm is on the faculty and this image takes me way back to the Chris Claremont/John Byrne Uncanny X-Men era when Mesmero hypnotized the X-Men into thinking they were part of his traveling circus.
Captain Marvel vs. Captain Marvel? Former Captain Monica Rambeau is back in Captain Marvel #7 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy in November. Is she Carol’s friend or foe?

Ms. Marvel recently was promoted to Captain Marvel but it was New Orleans Harbor Patrol officer Rambeau who was the first female Captain Marvel. Monica was Cap back in the Roger Stern era of the Avengers (Under Siege is epic!) and later took the code name Photon, appeared in Next Wave and Marvel Divas. While Mar-Vell and Carol’s powers were of Kree origin, Monica’s powers were created by a human scientist.

Brian Michael Bendis is taking on the Children of the Atom in a brand new All-New X-Men this November. The original teenage dream (Scott, Jean, Bobby, pre-metal wing Warren and pre-furry Hank) blast from the past into the present day.

It’s assumed that the girl with the short red hair is Rachel Summers, daughter of Scott and Jean from an alternate future. Art by Stuart Immonen.
Time is running on Fox keeping the movie rights to Daredevil. Director Joe Carnahan has released his “sizzle reel” showing the 1970’s vibe his take on the The Man Without Fear would have been. This reel is reportedly how Carnahan sold his Serpico style pitch to the studio. The reel combines art from Frank Miller’s acclaimed Born Again storyline with music and footage from 1970’s movies like Superfly and The Warriors and the 2005 Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck. This film would have been set in 1974 in a very violent Hell’s Kitchen. Can you dig it?
Groovy man?

Given the current success of the Mark Waid’s more upbeat reboot of Daredevil, I’m not sure if the gritty version would work if the film rights do to back to Marvel. I still dream of Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist solo movies followed by a big team up. Kind of a street level Avengers.
Daredevil featuring the art of Mike Allred is out this week in comic book shops!
