Warner has released a new poster for Man of Steel on their Twitter page. Right now they are just playing a cruel game with people like me who are literally counting down the days until this hits the big screen. Plus, with so many posters, it makes it doubly hard to figure out which ones I want to buy and frame. First world Superman problems.
Man of Steel releases on June 14th.
This short video interviews J.J. Abrams about returning to the director’s chair a second time for Star Trek Into Darkness as well as working with the crew again.
We are only six days away from the release and I am on official countdown.
Star Trek Into Darkness releases on May 16th with special early IMAX screenings on May 15th.

Director Alfonso Cuaron’s labor of love, Gravity, is set for an October release and the first trailer looks extraordinary. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star as two astronauts who are left drifting in space, tethered together when their station is destroyed during a space walk. To me, this is the type of movie I go to the theater for to experience on the big screen and not wait for home release.
Gravity releases on October 4th.
It looks like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz made beautiful love and Dr. Watson came along for the ride. Anyone up for a double feature viewing soon? No weirdos.
The World’s End releases on August 23rd.
Space Seed was the episode of The Original Series that began a legend whose name was Khan. Now Diamond Toys is releasing this set which lets you recreate Capt. Kirk’s fight with the genetically enhanced warrior. You can position the set like you see above or even make Kirk give Khan his famous flying kick.
There is so much want exuding out of my body right now that I am sure the people next to me think I am ready to take them out for a nice seafood dinner and never call them again.
A Spock figure will also be released from the episode “Devil in the Dark” complete with a Horta.
Ender’s Game is a big gamble for a movie. I consider it in the same category as Dune. It is a legendary sci-fi book that may be too much for the big screen. Now I am in no way saying that Orson Scott Card’s book is near as complicated or engrossing as Dune, but it is a seminal work of science fiction that I hope does not get screwed up by Hollywood (looking at you David Lynch).
If there is something to take away from this trailer it is that the movie should look very pretty and Asa Butterfield needs to hurry up and get nominated for an Academy Award. Seriously, the preview points out this fact with each star announcement.
Ender’s Game releases November 1.
I think even Dr. Sheldon Cooper, who famously said, “suck it, Zachary Quinto”, would approve of this commercial from Audi starring Leonard Nimoy and his alternate reality counterpart.
There are many things in life that make me happy: football, caramel apple empanadas, Far Cry and now, this.
This is Super Bowl worthy and not in the “I wish that was better” sort of way, but the “Betty White playing mud football with Abe Vigoda” sort of way.

Paramount has announced that the early showings of Star Trek Into Darkness in IMAX 3D set for May 15th at 8PM are selling out nationwide. Cities like New York, Seattle and San Diego are reportedly at capacity.
In response Paramount has moved up the release date of the sequel by a day to Thursday, May 16th. So if you already have tickets reserved through Fandango for Friday showings….I guess you’re f***ed. Actually I am pretty sure you can change your tickets, I just love messing with you.
Any way I can see Star Trek sooner is certainly fine by me.
Will anything be greater than John Williams’ Superman theme in terms of comic book movies? I will say no, but I’ll be damned if Hans Zimmer is not making a case for his theme from Man of Steel. Now you can go listen to a full track from Man of Steel. It is the music that was heard in the last trailer which begins with a piano solo and works its way up to a finish worthy of Superman.
You can listen to the track here
