It looks like we finally get a brief look at the dragon who has terrified fans for years in the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:00:54 -0600

While last year's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was a hit or miss for most, things may be a little better in the second movie titled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. While the teaser poster was released today, the trailer will be coming later this week, which I know fans can't wait to see if they can catch a glimpse of the infamous dragon. Enjoy the poster as December 13th, 2013 and the trailer can't come soon enough.

Michael Bay Releases Vehicle Pics From Upcoming Transformers Film!

Fri, 31 May 2013 07:07:57 -0600

It looks like the new Transformers movie is getting off to a good start, as director Michael Bay has posted pictures of some of the newly revamped Autobots in their vehicle mode along with some other new characters. Judging by the way Optimus looks now, it makes me wonder if he'll be more bulky / armored-up as he was in the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. Guess we'll just have to wait and see as more information (and hopefully more cool images) become available as the untitled film is slated to hit theaters next summer. You can check out the rest of pictures in high resolution at Michael's Flickr page HERE!

First Look At Marvel's Avengers Assemble Series Trailer!

Thu, 23 May 2013 11:48:48 -0600

While many are disappointed (myself included) that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is gone, Marvel does have a new series based off the iconic comic book team in Avengers Assemble. After viewing the trailer, it's painfully obvious they're cashing in on last year's Avengers film, but it feels like it's lacking the same "oomph" as Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I can only hope this show does well when it premieres this Sunday May 26th on Disney XD. Until then, enjoy the trailer!

Tue, 21 May 2013 11:32:47 -0600

While fans may be sad that the Star Wars: Clone Wars series has ended, a new show titled Star Wars: Rebels is coming to Disney XD next fall. The series will take place during the two decades between Episode III and Episode IV of the movies, as a new Darth Vader and the Empire expand their hold on the galaxy while hunting down scattered Jedi and the newly formed Rebel Alliance. If the series is anything like the recently aired Tron: Uprising show on Disney XD, fans of Clone Wars and the franchise are in for a real treat in the fall of 2014. Thanks to USA Today!

Sony Teases PlayStation 4 In Blurry Video - Full Console At E3 2013

Mon, 20 May 2013 12:42:16 -0600

In an obvious bid to undercut Microsoft's big 'Next Xbox' announcement tomorrow, Sony released a mini-teaser showing off blurry quick-shots of their new hardware, the PlayStation 4. There's not much here but at least it's here. The big promise of Sony's new cube is that we'll be seeing everything in a few short weeks at E3, and we'll be on-hand soaking up all the next-generation fun firsthand (or hands, if the controllers end up being wacky).

It is what it is, but it looks like we'll be seeing the full PlayStation 4 hardware come E3 2013. We'll see you there.

Hard to believe we're just mere months away from one of this year's summer blockbusters in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim.

Enjoy the trailer, and get ready to go big on July 12, 2013!

24 Finally Returns With A Twelve Episode Miniseries In May 2014!

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:00:12 -0600

I absolutely love 24, as it's one of the greatest TV shows ever. And after so many failed attempts to make a movie follow-up to the series when it ended three years ago, Fox is finally bringing the show back in May 2014 with a twelve episode miniseries titled 24: Live Another Day. Instead of each episode representing an hour of real time, the new series will feature hours of time going by per episode, which is sure to make the show more action packed than ever as it jumps around from one situation to another. I for one can't wait for the series to return in May 2014, as it feels like it can't come soon enough. Thanks to Entertainment Weekly!

Disney To Use Marvel Rights For The First Time In Animation With Big Hero 6, Releases Early Test Footage!

Thu, 9 May 2013 13:05:43 -0600

It took them long enough, but Disney is looking to make use of their Marvel Comics rights for the first time in animated form with their upcoming action comedy, Big Hero 6. Inspired by the 1998 Marvel miniseries Sunfire & Big Hero 6, the plot follows brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his robot companion named Baymax, Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of rookie crime fighters to save their city and quite possibly the entire world. Judging by the CG test footage, it looks like it should turn out to be pretty interesting. We'll post more info as it comes, but mark your calendars for this 3D event on November 7, 2014!

Edgar Wright Teams With Simon Pegg And Nick Frost Again In The World's End Teaser Trailer!

Thu, 9 May 2013 12:59:59 -0600

I'm a huge fan of the British comedy film. Hot Fuzz. So when I learned that director Edgar Wright was teaming up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for their latest film, The World's End, I had to post the trailer and news. The story follows five childhood friends who reunite after twenty years to make a journey to to a legendary pub called The World's End, which they tried to do twenty years back but never made it. On their way to the pub, they learn that aliens are trying to take over the world and must fight their way through them to save the planet, and make it to their drinks. Enjoy the teaser, and be sure to keep your drinks safe from aliens when the film lands in the states on October 25, 2013!

Based on one of the best-selling novels of all time, Ender's Game features Ben Kingsley and Harrison Ford as military leaders fighting a space war in the future with young teens being their soldiers. After watching this trailer, it looks like it just might be one of those looked over treats that most might write off as being a 'Hunger Games in space' type of deal. Enjoy the trailer as we wait to see if children really are the future of humanity on Noverber 1, 2013!

Thor was one of the biggest surprises of 2011, and turned out to be one of my favorite films that year. Now the sequel is close to being here, as the first trailer is released for Thor: The Dark World. Enjoy watching the son of Odin take on darkness both figuratively and literally as November 8, 2013 can't come soon enough.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Announced - Full Reveal Attached To Next-Gen Xbox Reveal May 21st

Wed, 1 May 2013 12:00:10 -0600

No surprises here, but Activision has pulled the curtain back from their latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise with Call of Duty: Ghosts, probably a starring-vehicle for the popular Simon "Ghost" Riley character seen in the Modern Warfare series. This is a Infinity Ward game, after all, and the developer promises a whole new engine to power their latest sure-to-be blockbuster. Activision promises the game will hit the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, as well as the PS4 and upcoming Xbox console. About that, it looks like we'll see the whole she-bang come May 21st when Microsoft reveals their next-generation console, no doubt continuing the unique (i.e. paid) partnership between Call of Duty semi-exclusivity and the Xbox brand.

Call of Duty: Ghosts most likely arrives this November on every console that can handle it. I guess we'll see more during Microsoft's big Xbox Reveal in three weeks. Now we play the waiting game...
