Evil Dead Remake Cast

  Evil Dead movies are can’t look away flicks! I’ll be home flipping and there’s Bruce Campbell on IFC and I’m possessed like a horror nerd. Shiloh Hernandez has been cast according to Variety. When I saw his picture I thought he could be the son of Bruce Campbell.

  Fede Alvarez is directing a reboot of Sam Raimi’s cult classic. If you’ve never experienced the Evil Dead, it’s about a group of young people (like in every horror movie!) in a cabin in the woods who discovers the Book of the Dead and let loose demons they can’t control. It’s not a remake and will not feature “Ash” the lead played by the great Bruce Campbell.

  If this news has you shivering to see Ash’s demonic adventures here’s a link to the Evil Dead comics published by Dark Horse Comics.

X-Factor #231: Madrox’s Twisted Trip

  The Superhero Registration Act/Civil War and M-Day/The Decimation are critical moments in Marvel’s recent history. Peter David brilliantly takes the essence of those plots and twists them into a bizarre new world. Jamie Madrox is trapped in that dimension in X-Factor #231.

  Last issue saw Wolverine give comfort to a grieving Layla and give Havok and Polaris roles on X-Factor Investigations. But this issue focuses on Madrox being hunted in a world with giant Iron Men and a mutated take on the mutant/human conflict.

Peter David delivers action and wit. Jamie is caught in a war between a vicious Tony Stark and a shocking version of Deathlok. The one liners and puns fly fast and hilarious. Madrox seems like a hybrid of Deadpool and Daredevil in Excalibur’s Cross-Time Caper.

I’m thrilled to have Havok and Polaris on the team and look forward to the GLAAD recognized Rictor/Shatterstar romance evolve but this Madrox solo issue is fun and thrilling

 

Star Wars Television Series to Feature Time Bandits?

  Manipulating the past has been a theme in several Star Trek episodes and the Borg Queen’s strategy in Star Trek: First Contact.  Cable, Bishop and Rachel Summers have traveled into the past to change the future in the X-Men comics.  

  Is the new Star Wars: Underworld television series taking a cue from other franchises and doing a time warp of their own? As previously reported producer Rick McCallum says scripts are written but the project is shelved for now due to budgetary reasons.

 

WARNING!!!

 

POSSIBLE SPOILER!!!

 

YOU MAY NOT WANT TO KNOW THIS CONCEPT!!!

 

OK HERE IT COMES….

 

 

 

  According to a new but untested Ain’t It Cool News source, Underworld will “involve bandits acquiring the capability of time travel, and using it to travel back in time to stop Darth Vader from ever existing.”

  Again this is just a rumor but it generates some interesting possibilities and ramifications for the entire series. I can imagine future rebel Jedi versus Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan. Thanks to Spinoff Online for the story.

 

 

Kitty Pryde Pregnant Updated

It’s a double dose of Kitty Pryde’s maternal mystery this week. First Marvel gave us a preview of what looks like Kitty on the phone with Colossus.

Today Marvel gave Comic Book Resources more preview images by Nick Bradshaw of Wolverine and the X-Men #5. We don’t see Kitty in these images but Logan and Bobby refer to the fact that she’s been missing for days.

We see Beast is taking the students of the Jean Grey School inside a virtual reality tour of the mutant body for a biology lesson. This could be a follow-up to the “Things to Come” image in the back of the debut issue showing Dr. McCoy and company inside Kitty’s bloodstream.

 

Is Colossus the father and will this bring the romantically challenged couple together? They’ve survived death by legacy virus and eternity is a speeding bullet – but this is an X-pregancy. Stay tuned for the labor pains when #5 arrives February 8th.

The Man of Steel Gives a Super Thanks to the Military

Henry Cavill at Edwards A.F.B.

   The new Superman took a break from shooting to meet, pose and sign autographs for U.S Airmen at Edwards A.F.B. More than 100 airmen lined up to meet Henry Cavill, receive a Man of Steel lithograph, and have the opportunity to take a photo with the star of The Man of Steel.

  “I have such great respect for military members and what they do,” Cavill said . “It’s important that they know how valuable their service is. It is a pleasure to tell them how much they’re appreciated.”

  Cavill has a strong connection to the military with two brothers currently serving; one is a tank commander and the other as a Royal Marine.

This was also a way to thank the airmen for their roles as extras or logistical support. For the entire article here’s the link to Edwards A.F.B.

Thanks to the men and women for serving our country.

Thanks to Comic Book Movie and they’re sharp-eyed team for spotting it on Twitter. Now just please give us a hint on the villain!!! Klingons please.

 Now excitment is fizzling – some friends tell me this is actually a photo from 2009 before the first film – I’ll check more. Sigh – I still hold my plea for Klingons in ST2!

  Bucky Barnes is back in his own series stalking the underworld of the Marvel Universe. Bucky faked his death, gave the Captain America role back to Steve Rogers and suited up as the Winter Soldier again.

  Bucky and Black Widow are on the trail of Russian sleeper agents before an army of Winter Soldiers is unleashed on the world. New readers get a quick recap but the focus is on the mission. The villains behind the conspiracy are an exciting surprise.

  Ed Brubaker calls Bucky and Natasha “the Mr. and Mrs. Smith” of the Marvel Universe. The chemistry is smoldering. They share a passion for each other and thrill of the espionage game. Butch Guice’s art is dark, sexy and full of energy. The new series builds on the best elements from Bucky in Captain America and blasts into its own direction.

  This debut is a thrilling mix of superheroics and James Bond. Bucky is out of Cap’s shadow. The Winter Soldier #1 shows why he’s the best man to operate in the shadows of the Marvel Universe.
