Deadline Hollywood reported previously that another Daredevil movie is in development and slated for a 2012 release. Instead of a sequel it is supposed to be a reboot with David Scarpa (The Day the Earth Stood Still) writing the script.  Apparently, 20th Century Fox and New Regency need to hurry up and put out another DD movie or the rights will revert back to the big monster Disney, who gobbled up Marvel last year.

So who will star in this latest attempt to bring one of Marvel’s most popular and controversial comic book romances to life?  Will there even be …

I was excited to read this comic, since it was rumored that Tony Scott might direct the film adoptation. Now, I learned that Sam Raimi might do the movie. Not as exciting as Tony Scott, but at least it’s not McG! Earp, as the title suggests, is about the legendary lawman of the west. But, take the old settings and throw everything into the near-future, you have Earp: Saints for Sinners.

Professor Sharon Lamb from the University of Massachusetts did a research on boys 4-18 and found out that kids want to be superheroes when they grow up.  She then blasted superheroes, saying that “Today’s superhero is too much like an action hero who participates in non-stop violence; he’s aggressive, sarcastic and rarely speaks to the virtue of doing good for humanity.”  She continues to say “When not in superhero costume, these men exploit women, flaunt bling and convey their manhood with high-powered guns.”  It’s obvious she’s talking about Tony Stark in Iron Man 2 and she hasn’t done enough research …

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is the movie I’ve been waiting forever for. It’s like the best videogame flick ever made, but it’s based on a series of graphic novels and not a videogame. The movie is brilliantly brought to life by director Edgar Wright. Wright previously made the very funny parody movies Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Scott Pilgrim is his best film yet. A hyperactive flick that moves like a bullet and features sharp acting and dialogue and even sharper ADD editing and jump cuts. The effects are also fun and the fight scenes and hipster music …

Talented sculptor, Jim McPherson, has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years.  He has worked on hit films such as Alice In Wonderland and Gremlins 2 and worked with make up artist legend, Rick Baker.  While he works on plenty of movies, I was surprised that McPherson also sculpted a Batman: Black and White statue.  McPherson created the “Batman: Year One” statue based on Frank Miller’s story and David Mazzuchelli’s art.  “Year One” is my most beloved Batman story and “Black and White” is my favorite statue line, so I had to contact McPherson about the statue and …
