New Man Of Steel Trailer, Fate Of Your Planet, Is SUPER!

“You are not alone,” begins Michael Shannon’s eerie and sinister sounding voice over. “My name is General Zod. I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you. Your world has sheltered one of my citizens. He will look like you, but he is not one of you.” 

Hold on to your pants ladies and gents, a new Man of Steel trailer has been unleashed on mankind and it’s fan-bloody-tastic. Featuring the main protagonists, including Shannon’s General Zod and Henry Cavill’s Superman, we discover Zod’s motivation for tracking down Kal-El.





This film looks so good that we’re not gonna lie, we just had a total geekgasm. 

As well as starring Cavill and Shannon, Man of Steel features a who’s who of Hollywood’s great and good including Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and the awesome Amy Adams as Lois Lane. 

Directed by GG♥SF favourite Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300, Dawn of the Dead), featuring a screen play by superscribe David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy, Blade trilogy) and produced by Christopher Nolan’s production house, Syncopy, this is the most exciting Superman film to come along in decades. 

In short, we’re pumped! 

Man of Steel flies in UK and US cinemas 14 June.

Animated “Star Wars Rebels” Gets Green Light

In what we think is good news for fans of the Force, Disney has commissioned Lucasfilm Animations' new television series Star Wars Rebels, which will take place between Episodes III and IV. 

According to an official news release, Star War Rebels’ takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape. 

The cartoon will premiere as a one-hour special on the Disney Channel before morphing into a TV series for Disney XD, with production on the cartoon already in progress. 

Earlier in March this year, Lucasfilm Animation announced its successful Star Wars: The Clone Wars series would be winding down after five seasons so it could “pursue a new direction in animated programming”. 

Star Wars Rebels will be helmed by some familiar faces including Dave Filoni (Star Wars: Clone Wars) and Greg Weisman (Young Justice, The Spectacular Spider-Man) who will both executive produce. Simon Kinberg (X:Men: First Class, Sherlock Holmes) will write the premiere episode and share exec producer creds alongside Filoni and Kinberg. 

Unfortunately for fans desperate for more information, both Disney and Lucasfilm are keeping plot firmly under wraps, stating: “Details about the show are closely guarded secret at this point.” Boo!

New Trailer: Man of Steel - It. Is. EPIC!

A new trailer for Man of Steel has been released online by Warner Bros and holy crap, believe us when we say this film looks EPIC (we trust the use of crass capitals is conveying our sense of ridiculous excitement?). 

As one “rob B” on YouTube posted: “FUUUCCCCKKK MEEEE THUMBS UP!!!!!” 

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. 


And in the first of a series of viral marketing videos, here’s a rather effective video message from General Zod (Michael Shannon) to the people of Earth. Freaky.  


The new Superman reboot is directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, Sucker Punch) with cast featuring the talents of Henry Cavil as the Man of Steel (phwoar), Russell Crowe as Jor-El and and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. 

The Man of Steel flies into UK cinemas 14 June 2013.

Don Cheadle: Iron Man To Go On “Existential Journey”

There are many choice words we could use to describe Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man - genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist to list but a few. 

Introspective and philosophical would not be two of them. But according to co-star Don Cheadle, this time round we’ll see Stark going on an “existential journey.” 

Cheadle, who plays Stark's friend, James "War Machine" Rhodes, said in a recent interview with E! News: "The tone is there's more of an existential journey that Tony's on trying to come to grips with this thing that he created that is creating him, too."

"Who's really in control? And the toll that it takes on his relationships." 

What kind of madness is this? Are we likely to encounter a forlorn Tony Stark reciting angsty prose, “to be, or not to be?”, “doth mother know you weareth her drapes?”?

Apparently not. 

According to Marvel top exec, Kevin Feige, despite the darker themes, Iron Man 3 “is not a serious movie.”. And Cheadle backs this up, adding in his interview: “And then lot of shit blows up.” 

Hurrah! And we should think so too. 

As well returning stars RDJ and Cheadle, other actors reprising their roles include Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Paul Bettany voicing the marvellous Jarvis. A new addition to the cast comes in the form of Sir Ken Kingsley as big bad, The Mandarin. 

Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas 26 April. Make sure you book your tickets kids – shit's gonna blow.
