While Mjolnir may have a bit-part in a certain massive summer blockbuster out now, Marvel’s god of thunder The Mighty Thor has been conspicuous by his absence lately, but thanks to Yahoo Movies who posted this first pic of Chris Hemsworth all dolled up Asgardian style earlier today, and we have to say…it’s not bad. Obviously using the current comics incarnation as a template, the costume stays very true to the comic-book spirit – although we reckon the cape looks a little bit daft.
Also rumbling round the net today, the Latino review uncovered this first pic of Thor’s big bad – The Destroyer. An enchanted suit of armour that likes nothing more than beating the crap out of wayward Norse mythological types.
What do you reckon to the look – it’s certainly Kirby-esque, but will it look silly on the screen?
Anyone order a steampunk/magical western with added physical deformity and Megan Fox? F**K Yeah!
Yep, It’s the new trailer for DC Comic’s latest, Jonah Hex.
The slightly-alternate universe western certainly stirred up some fan interest at it’s comic-con preview, but it’s hard to judge whether this will be Wild Wild West or Desperado -either way, hey -it’s got Megan Fox in a corset, what more do you want?
Jonah Hex is released on June 18th.
The last time we spoke about Commando here on STS, we ended up arguing the case for more deviant Australian villains for half an hour and devising a drinking game based around the film’s body count (we also considered growing Bennet-style push-broom moustaches – some looks never go out of style do they?), so we’re already stocking up on Sainsbury’s Basics Bourbon in anticipation as Fox announce a ‘can’t possibly be anywhere near as good as the original’ remake.
Just a little off the top please...
While Predators at least boasts Robert Rodriguez’s stabilising hand on the tiller, this former governator vehicle wil instead suffer the undue attentions of Fast and the Furious auteur David Ayer.
You know him right? He made that Harsh Times flick? Oh, and apparently he’s going to put a ‘real world spin’ on the story.
Because obviously, gay ex-green berets kidnap each other’s kids all the time in the real world.
So basically, we’re heading for a Jason Bourne-lite that steadfastly refuses to shout ‘I had to let him go’ after dropping a man off a cliff.
In seems a bunch of people aren’t too pleased that Iron Man 2 isn’t all it cracked up to be, and it seems the super-heroic ire has quickly spread to Stark’s fellow Avengers – news reaching us today that there’s a right mythical kerfuffle being kicked up over some of the casting in Kenneth Brannagh’s Thor film. Surprisingly, fans aren’t up in arms over the giant piece of corn known as Chris Hemsworth appearing as the God of Thunder ( a role surely reserved for Gene Simmons circa 1978), but the casting of The Wire survivor Idris Elba as Heimdall, guardian of the Rainbow Bridge.
What better place than the vast temple of Mammon men refer to as London’s Westfield shopping centre to settle in and check out a movie about a billionaire show-off. Make no mistake, Iron Man 2 is all about the bling.
Unfortunately, it isn’t really about anything else.
Where the first movie gave us a former hellraiser as a cocky, likeable..er..hellraiser, here we get to see all the bits we hate about rich guys like that. All the dazzle, all the showing off -in short, all the style over substance…
