Cartoon Network's "Beware The Batman" teaser poster and press release!

First announced by Warner Bros. during the MIP Junior Market Convention last October, Cartoon Network has officially released the first teaser poster and press release for their upcoming new Batman animated series entitled "Beware The Batman".

The Bourne Legacy Poster and Trailer debut online!

Currently filming and prepping up for release this August, Universal Pictures has released a new poster and the very first trailer to their upcoming spin-off flick based on Robert Ludlum's Bourne series - "The Bourne Legacy"! Starring Jeremy Renner (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Avengers) as Aaron Cross, the movie will center around events that transpire as a consequence of the actions of Jason Bourne in the past Bourne films. Filming was also done in this blogger's home country of The Philippines (with film locations taking place in spots like Manila and Makati), so it will be interesting to see how this fares in theaters this August, and it also stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton to boot! Check out the trailer below, courtesy of Collider!

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance: New Poster and early reviews!

Via  Comic Book Movie, Colombia Pictures has released a new poster of Nicholas Cage's new Ghost Rider film, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Once again reprising his role as the cursed motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, he must once again ride into adventure as his hell spawn alter ego, protecting the lives of a mother and child while facing a new dark threat bent on destroying them. Check out the poster itself, featuring the rider riding and dishing out some hellfire justice.

The film recently premiered at Harry Knowles annual "Butt-Numb-A-Thon" over at the states, and early reviews were generally unfavorable. It won't be until next year still anyway, but that's not a good sign at all. Also, I just recently found out that this IS NOT a sequel to the 2007 Ghost Rider, and as the wikipedia states, a whole new origin sequence will be filmed. For more info, visit the source post at CBM!

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance rides into theaters on February 17, 2012!

SDCC '11: The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer

Finally making its way online after being shown at AMC's official Walking Dead panel at the San Diego Comic Con, here's the four minute plus trailer to the hotly anticipated second season of Frank Darabont's TV Series adaptation of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead"! If you're a fan of the show, it picks up right after the finale of the last season, showing Rick Grimes and his fellow group of survivors back on the road and desperately trying to survive day-by-day from the living dead. SPOILERS are evidently present if you have no idea what this series is about, so I recommend not viewing this primer to Season 2 if you haven't watched or read anything Walking Dead related. Otherwise, go on and click on the player below to get a taste of what's going to happen when the new season premieres this fall!


The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer
Just like what you see, Rick, Shane, Lori, Glenn, Dale, and the rest of the survivors return. Dissension, desperation, and survival are certainly the main themes going on here, and just when the stakes are getting high for the group, they meet up with a new group of survivors living on an isolated farm. Fans of the comic book series will definitely know who I'm referring to, so for more info, visit the official AMC Walking Dead website! Here's the official poster again below if you didn't see it the first time, as designed by Punisher and Blade comic book artist Tim Bradstreet!

Finally getting an official show date, The Walking Dead Season 2 premieres on AMC this October 16

SDCC '11: The Amazing Spider-Man poster!

After the debut of the trailer yesterday, Sony Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have released the first official poster of Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man"! Via Enewsi, here's a clear look at it above! If you haven't seen the trailer yet, here's a repost of it below:


The Amazing Spider-Man trailer

I still find this a bit underwhelming when compared to the teaser trailer for Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie, but I'll keep an open mind and still see this one. It's a reboot after all, and it's completely different from the first trilogy of films.

The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters on July 3, 2012!

Another new Captain: America: The First Avenger poster revealed!

With literally just a week or so to go before its release in theaters, Marvel Entertainment and Paramount Pictures have unleashed yet another theatrical poster for their next superhero flick this summer, Captain America: The First Avenger! First debuting in HitFix then making its way through a post in Slash Film, this new one-sheet, a full figure of Chris Evans as Cap(sans mask) stands tall and proud right smack in the middle, with the rest of the supporting cast behind him (Bucky, Peggy Carter, and the Howling Commandos) and the Red Skull's face covered in shadow and looming just in front of the American flag plastered in the background. Also, Evans can be seen with his mask/ helmet on while riding the Harley-Davidson motorbike to the right most side of the sheet.

Arguably, this poster takes the cake among the new ones I've seen recently. It does follows very much in the style of its predecessors Iron Man and Thor, with the main character square in the center and the rest of the stars pictured in the background. One has to imagine how much of an impact this film will make upon it's release, and with the recently relaunched Captain America #1 comic book by Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven now out in shops this week (and a pretty damn good read too I might add), Cap hype is definitely up in the air. This will all escalate even further with the appearance of The Avengers cast in next week's San Diego Comic-Con, where Evans joins his co-stars to promote what will definitely be the biggest superhero movie of 2012 next to The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises! For more info on the new Cap poster, visit the source posts at HitFix and Slash Film!

Captain America: The First Avengers arrives in theaters this July 22!

The Dark Knight Rises Update: Teaser Poster revealed.

As speculated and now making its way through several movie news sites like Slash Film, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan have unleashed the first teaser poster for the next Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises". As you can see above, that's pretty much what it is: A teaser depicted in very twisted manner where the perspective comes from a viewer looking towards towering buildings and sees falling debris raining down, with the image of Nolan's Batman logo at the center and making up the sky.

Now how to interpret what this teaser means, I'm not sure, but Slash Film points out that it may represent Gotham beings destroyed and Batman's eventual rise back into the hero city needs. We won't know the gist of it until more information and trailers revealing details pop in, and speculation by fans is the only source at this point. The official website has also been updated to reflect this new poster's debut, but the teaser trailer hasn't come out yet, and it's rumored to debut this week as well alongside screenings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (Update: Initial reports say it hasn't in certain premieres, but you never know for subsequent screenings). The runtime is also said to be 1:26, and that's been reported by www.albertafilmratings.ca. Be sure to stay tuned for its eventual debut online. For more info on this story, visit the source post at Slash Film.

The Dark Knight Rises comes to close Nolan's Bat-Trilogy on July 20, 2012.

The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer and Poster rumored to be debut next week

Movie news and blog sites Slash Film and Superherohype posted this interesting rumor. Apparently, with the release of the final Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 next week, Warner Bros. may attach the long awaited teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's third Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises, along with it! Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but it would totally make sense if that were the case. Since filming is already underway for the next Bat-movie, a teaser should pose as no problem given the style and method Nolan uses in making his films. The past two Batman movies had teasers that made use simple dialogue and footage/ logo sequences, so one has to wonder how the one for TDKR will be made. Also rumored to be released is a teaser poster for the film as well, so we'll just leave it up to fate if WB will truly add this long awaited first look at the next adventure of Bruce Wayne's alter ego to the last installment of Harry Potter's adventures. For more info, visit Slash Film or Superherohype, and on a side note, it's also rumored that the teaser trailer for Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law's next Sherlock Holmes film, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, may be attached to HP 7 Pt. 2 as well! Stay tuned for more updates as they come along.

The Dark Knight Rises opens in theaters on July 20, 2012!

New Captain America Poster and Thor 2 gets a release date!

Marvel.com has released this slick new international poster for Captain America: The First Avenger! It's a cool one sheet with the entire cast of the movie lined up with a maskless Chris Evans/ Captain America in the front, while a huge head of Hugo Weaving's Red Skull looks over with mean eyes over the background. You can check out more info and details from the source post at Marvel.com!

Movie blog and news site Screen Rant reports that "Thor 2" has been given a official release date, and it will appear under the Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Entertainment banner come July 26, 2013! Yes, the God of Thunder will be joining his fellow Avenger Iron Man the following year after "Avengers" hits theaters on May 4, 2012, so since Ol' Shellhead's next sequel, "Iron Man 3", is slated for a May 3, 2013 release date, Thor 2 shows nearly three months after that! Unfortunately, Kenneth Branagh won't be returning to direct the film, so the only question now is who can follow in his footsteps? For more info, visit the source post at Screen Rant.

First Look at The Adventures of Tintin poster!

At last, after being on the dark on how this movie would be fairing before its release, the legendary young adventurer Tintin and his puppy dog Snowy are coming to cinemas this fall! One of my favorite childhood adventure books is coming to the big screen later this year, and it's directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by LOTR director Peter Jackson!

As posted in Slash Film, what you see above is the first poster of "The Adventures of Tintin", which will be a 3D motion capture film based on three classic stories from the Belgian comic book series of the same name by Georges "Herge" Remi. In this movie, acting as an origin flick, our hero Tintin (Jamie Bell) will encounter and meet friends and adversaries for the first time, including Captain Haddock (played by Andy Serkis), and Detective twins Thompson and Thomson (played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)! Even James Bond actor Daniel Craig appears in this movie as the legendary pirate Red Rackham, so it's an all star cast for a stellar franchise turned interesting new 3D flick! For more info, visit the source post over at Slash Film!

The Adventures of Tintin comes to 3D and conventional theaters on December 23!

Here's a new Transformers: Dark of the Moon Poster!

After unveiling that new trailer yesterday for the world to see, Paramount Pictures has released a new poster that pretty much sums up what Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be all about. You have a pretty bad-ass and ready for action Optimus Prime in the middle of a devastated Chicago, alongside Shia LaBeouf and Rose Huntington-Whitley as they survey the invading Decepticon spaceships attacking the planet. It's an impressive poster despite the human characters in it, and since I'm a Prime fan, I'm loving the bad-ass look here.

While I was hoping to see more Megatron/ Hugo Weaving moments in the trailer, I can't say I'm not looking forward to seeing this film, which will be Michael Bay's last entry directing the TF Movie line. Hopefully it'll wrap up things neatly... and not present a cluster "twin riddled" confusion like Revenge of the Fallen did in 2009. For more info on the poster, check out the source link via Slash Film!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is slated for a July 1 release.
