Kevin Costner To Be In Zack Snyder’s Superman? Let’s Do This!
UPDATE: Slashfilm posted the following:
Latino Review reports that Kevin Costner would play Jonathan ‘Pa’ Kent. That was one of the few roles for which Kevin Costner seemed like a logical choice. Seeing him play a villain could have been a lot of fun, but Pa Kent will play solidly to his strengths and image.
Well, guess we know who he’ll play.

Faster than a speeding douchebag, I’ve become a bit intrigued in Frat Boy Rock’s Superman. Word out of the Hollywood Hype Machine is that Kevin Costner of all people is up for a role in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot. If Snyder is just going to go bananas with this movie, then I can get behind it. He wanted Lohan in the flick, and now he wants Costner.

“Black Widow Gone Wild” Is Stop Motion Violent Sexiness.
Patrick Boivin, the same dude behind Iron Baby and AT-AT Afternoon has returned to the interwebs with more geek porn. This time it’s Black Widow Gone Wild, which features the Widow tooling on a variety of pathetic dummies, from Rocky to Michael Jackson to Batman. Doing it all while looking sexy as hell in her Johansson likeness, clad in leather.

The Great Gatsby Is Being Filmed In 3D. Baz Luhrmann Sucks.
I love The Great Gatsby more than I love Watchmen, and the trainwreck that was that adaptation devastated me. This is only going to crush me worse. Not only does Baz Luhrmann suck, but he just upped his fucking blowitude to the next level. He’s filming The Great Gatsby in 3D.
Fuck.
Fucking.
Fucking shit.
Shane Black To Direct Iron Man 3; Praise A Deity.
Shit’s gone gold, Shane Black 3 is going to be the director of Iron Man 3. There isn’t anymore ruminating, you can bite this news without worry of Fool’s Gold. According to Deadline, the Obviously Hooded Cabal at Marvel is in final negotiations with Black to direct the final flick in the trilogy, though it isn’t certain if he is going to write it or not.
RDJ teaming up with the dude who essentially relaunched his career, the same dude who wrote The Last Boyscout makes me a bit more excited about this movie. Hopefully it’s more memorable than the cute but ultimately forgettable second installment.
Thor Trailer #2! My Chainmail Fetish Heightens.
I’m really excited for Thor. Like, really excited. Everything I’ve seen from the movie, excluding a few out-of-context shots, has me thinking this has the makings of a dope comic book flick. This new trailer brings some of the Thor Is A Stupid Bastard Misunderstanding American Cultural Norms humor that has come to pass in Thor stories, and it’s all a bit amusing. I’ll admit, I laughed like an asshole at the Facebook comment.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer, and I’m interested to see what you think.

Matthew Vaughn Adapting Comic Book, “The Golden Age”; Wants Clint Eastwood In It.
Matthew Vaughn is adapting the comic book “The Golden Age” by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards, and he wants some fucking starpower to do it. The comic book is about a group of retired superheroes who have to once again don the cloak to help out their grandkids when their own children fuck up the world, and Vaughn wants some big boppers to fill the roles. Atop his wishlist are “Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Warren Beatty.”
To dream!
Thoughts? Me? Meh. I’ve seen this concept done to death in the funny books themselves, and Watchmen already took a cinematic dump on the motif.
Is This The First Set Shot From The Dark Knight Rises?
[Note: I wrote this up last night, thought it was too sensationalist, and then discarded it. But then legit places starting pimping it, and if they do, why shouldn’t hits-needy places like OL be a whore as well? Lesson learned: always be a whore.]
Fair warning: The Brother Omega have a aching purple priapism for the forthcoming third Batman flick by Christopher Nolan. It rages within our collective pants, beating against the confines of cotton and denim and zippers. So if you can’t hang with that, you’re going to be doing a lot of scrolling in the next fifteen months or so.
I’m going to be fapping over everything. Like this: a purported first set shot from the film. Shit doesn’t even have to be confirmed for me to get excited about it. This possibly, maybe, could be, a set picture. The elaboration on the origination of this possible picture comes from Nolan Fans:
A photo popped up on the JoBlo forums today of what appears to be the set for Arkham Asylum in The Dark Knight Rises. The poster says, “my good mate who is working on set at cardington where it’s being shot sent me this.” Not quite sure how legit this is, but we’re figured it’s worth a share. Perhaps it’s just a left over set from Batman Begins?
