PAUL RUDD is ANT-MAN. OFFICIALLY. Welcome to the MCU, brah.
Paul Rudd is going to be Ant-Man. Paul Rudd is going to be joining the MCU. This — this fries my brain with glory, happiness, glee, confusion. Paul Rudd is going to Ant-Man for Edgar Wright. Is this real life? Times are good, man.

Rumor: WB WANTS JOAQUIN PHOENIX to play LEX LUTHOR
If this rumor holds, the Man of Steel franchise will continue assimilating a ridiculous quantity of talented actors into its corpus. WB apparently wants Joaquin Phoenix to play Lex Luthor, and I think that would be fucking awesome.
SHIA LABEOUF short-film rips off DANIEL CLOWES. Gets caught, apologizes. Still a douche.
Shia LaBeouf has come off like a pretentious turd-sucking asshole for a while now, so I’m glad to see it all coming to a head. LeDouche ripped off a Daniel Clowes comic from 2007 for some shitty pretentious short flick of his. Somehow he didn’t think he would get caught. He did. Best part? His “apology” sucks just as much as the rest of his career. Existence.
’22 JUMP STREET’ Red Band Trailer: Every reboot needs a sequel
The only thing more egregious than a reboot-remake-rething movie? One of those movies that is so successful that it generates a sequel. I loved the original 21 Jump Street with Tatum and Hill. I’m hoping the sequel will be self-aware enough to govern the film over the standard sequel-based hazards.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
GORDON-LEVITT producing ‘SANDMAN’ MOVIE. May STAR & DIRECT.
It’s JGL’s world, we are just living in it. Which given his track record is completely okay by me. Also, scribble me down as excited about the Sandman movie now that I know JGL’s probably going to end up starring in it, as well as directing it, producing it, and all that other happy horse shit. My excitement is in exact inverse proportion to how much Snyder and Goyer are involved with this bad boy. So yeah, I’m throbbing more by the minute.
Nolan’s ‘INTERSTELLAR’ Teaser Trailer: Dare to Dream Again
There is very little in the way of footage in the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. Instead we have Matthew McConaughey with a table-setting monologue about humanity’s loss of dreaming. Though I find this to be a pretty insular view, and would be more fairly applied to the governments of the world (who used the space race far more as cold war maneuvering than genuine desire to explore) than us individuals who populate the Blue Marble. Whatever. Look at me. Blah, blah, blah.
‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII’ SCRIPT isn’t due UNTIL JANUARY. Hey, whatevs.
The Episode VII script was junked. George Lucas caterwauled. Now Abrams is in the hood, unfucking the script from scratch with Larry Kasdan. No problem, right? It’s just that, you know, the movie is due out in two years.
‘FAST & FURIOUS 7’ being rewritten to give Paul Walker the proper send-off.
A couple of weeks ago I lamented without irony the passing of Paul Walker. Unspoken at the time due to the sweet Bro Dude’s passing was my concern over the Fast & Furious franchise’s future. Also without irony the series of movies are some of my favorite, serving as a healthy conduit for my homoerotic tendencies, desire to drive fast, and stare at Vin Diesel’s ears. It appears that the seventh film is struggling with the same difficulties, though screenwriter Chris Morgan is attempting to find the proper way to sally forth.
Coen Brothers’ next flick could be ‘HAIL CAESAR’ with Mr. George Clooney
That movie the Coen Brothers were spitting about that takes place in Ancient Rome may be coming more into focus. Or not. I don’t know. There is a script called Hail Caesar. There is talk of a movie talking place in ancient Rome. Are the same script? Greater minds than me are unsure.
‘EDGE OF TOMORROW’ Trailer: Cruise & Blunt’s gorgeous Sci-Fi Groundhog’s Day
Fucking forget Tom Cruise. This stunning science-fiction rendition of Groundhog’s Day (also forget Source Code which is sort of the same idea) features a bad ass Emily Blunt mauling all sorts of foes with a sword and mech equipment and shit. I am so fucking sold.
