Thor 2 Gets Release Date

A sequel was definately on the cards given the recent success of Marvel's Thor. The next film in the franchise has been set a release ate of July 26 2013, which gives 2 years to work on the project.

The news is that Chris Hemsworth will continue playing his role into the next film, which doesn't throw up many surprises. However, for one reason or another Kenneth Branagh will not continue to be director on the sequel. Which leaves a lot of agents trying to get their client into the vacant chair.
No details of storyline have been set yet, with co-writer Don Payne throwing a few ideas around.

Thor's storyline continues in the up and coming Avengers movie, where Chris Hemsworth will star alongside Robert Downey Jnr. (Ironman), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow).
As well as Samuel L. Jackson, who continues his Iron Man 2 role as Nick Fury.
The Avengers is set for a UK release date of May 4th 2012.

Thor fans, your in luck.

New Captain America Poster

So, earlier today a new Captain America poster was unveiled. This is the frst poster that shows him amongst his allies, unlike previous ones that pictured him all alone, with just his shield for company.
We also get a sneak peek at the bad guy, Red Skull.
With the newest trailer being unveiled last week-Click Here if you missed it, the film looks on track. Pretty epic looking too.

If you have recently escaped from living in a whole and have no idea what is going on, Captain America: The First Avenger is the story of a weedy young man in world war 2 that is overlooked by the officers because, well to be honest, he's useless.
The he undergos a precedure and becomes Captain America, and goes off to shit all over the Nazi's.
Simple really.

Transformers:Dark Of The Moon

People that know me will confirm I have a Transformers addiction, so I was really hoping that this movie was not a flop like so many extended series' of films have been before. I was not let down.
It seems to be with Transformers that the films get better each time. This is weird as usually films get worse down the line before epicly failing. Not this time.

The main talking point I've seen is the absense of Megan Fox, now I know this is hard to deal with but the new girl in the film, Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, is pretty much the perfect replacement.
Megan Fox got too big for her boots, made some Nazi remarks and that's the reason Spielberg and Bay axed her character.
I liked the fact that in this film they did make a few referrances to her to make it more natural. There is many a director that would have just cut the character completely and pretended it was never there.

I'm not a fan of 3D movies the majority of the time due to one simple fact. It's hardly ever used.
However for Transformers I went to see both the 2D version and the 3D version. I had read reports that the 3D in Transformers was the best since Avatar. For those of you who have not seen Avatar, it was the best 3D movie ever.
I'd like the confirm that fact. The 3D was awesome. They used it well, played on it's advantages.
Saying that it doesn't mean the 2D version was any less epic, either one is brilliant so it's just dependant on your preferances.
I will add that my girlfriend, who hates 3D with a passion, said that it was really good.

The film was extremely long, 2 hours and 37 minutes. There was at no point a time where I got bored, or hoped it was ending soon. In fact time flew by. It was only at the end that I noticed how much time had elapsed.

The graphics, design, destruction, new autobots, new decepticons, new bad guys, ending. It was all epic.

I would not be surprised if this is the last Transformers in the series, but if there is anyone that can keep it going Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are definately the two candidates that stand out.

A great film for Transformers fans, Sci Fi fans and general movie fans.

Look Out For The Next Section Of The Countdown!

New Apollo 18 Trailer

Apollo 18, the film supposed to show the 'real' story on a secret NASA mission that went horribly wrong, released a new trailer earlier today.

The feature suggests America really did send another group of atsronauts to a moon landing after the events of Apollo 17.

The trailer builds up the thrill and tension, with a glimpse of the no named cast. The cast is not named as they are supposed to be 'real' astronauts. It then shows how it all goes pear shaped as they encounter something terrible, which has not been revealed.

My bet is something Alien. It's hardly surroundedby mystery is it?
