No Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen for X-Men: Apocalypse

Patrick Stewart X-Men

It’s not exactly a surprise given what we know so far about Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, but Patrick Stewart confirmed today that neither he nor Ian McKellen would be reprising their respective roles as Charles Xavier or Erik Lehnsherr in the forthcoming mutant ensemble.

“I was learning quite a lot more about it last night,” Stewart tells Larry King (via Yahoo! Movies), hinting that he’s still maintaining a close connection to the franchise. “It is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance.”

Confirmed to star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac and Nicholas Hoult (with more names expected to be confirmed shortly), X-Men: Apocalypse is scripted by Simon Kinberg, Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris. Said to be the conclusion of a trilogy started with X-Men: First Class and continued with X-Men: Days of Future Past, cameras will start rolling on the next adventure in Montreal beginning April, 2015 for a May 27, 2016 release.

It was also recently reported that the new film is looking to cast younger versions of Jean Grey (Phoenix), Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Ororo Monroe (Storm).

I know  i would love to see the old cast again!  they made a great addition to the last film! what are your thoughts

Robert Kirkman on The Walking Dead Companion Series

Robert Kirkman Calls The Walking Dead Companion Series ‘Startlingly Different’

Cameras are getting ready to roll on AMC’s upcoming companion series to “The Walking Dead” and EW caught up with series creator Robert Kirkman, who revealed, without too many details, that the series will be quite different from the regular series.

“I will say that this is going to be a show about family,” Kirkman said. “But it’s going to be a show about a different type of family that we haven’t explored in The Walking Dead thus far. So what we’re trying to do with The Walking Dead spinoff is keep the story as familiar as possible for people that love The Walking Dead, so you’ll get the kind of things that you expect from a Walking Dead story. But, at the same time, we’ll want to tell these stories in a completely different way with completely different people in a completely different setting that’s going to make for a fundamentally different show. I think the look and feel of The Walking Dead spinoff is going to be startlingly different.”

Kirkman went on to address the Los Angeles setting, which will provide an interesting contrast to the Atlanta location of the primary series.

“It’s Los Angeles. It’s a corner of the world that we have never explored in the comic book series. So, theoretically, something like this could be happening in Los Angeles in the comic book series, but we don’t show you this area of the country in the comic book series. So it fits within that world, but it is all new characters, all new events and all kinds of crazy stuff.”

Co-created by Kirkman and Dave Erickson, the series will take place in the same zombie apocalypse depicted in “The Walking Dead” albeit in a different location and potentially at a different point in time. Erickson will serve as the showrunner for the new series, which will be executive produced by Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert. Adam Davidson will direct the pilot episode which sees Cliff Curtis will lead the companion series alongside Kim Dickens. They’re joined by Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam-Carey.

I am a huge walking dead fan and i am excited to see what is going to happen in this spin off series!  what are your thoughts?

FOX is Reportedly Not Happy with Josh Trank’s FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot

 Uh, oh! It sounds like 20th Century Fox isn’t very happy with what Josh Trank has done with his Fantastic Four reboot. The news comes from Bleeding Cool, who says that some people within the studio are calling the film “Chronicle 2 rather than Fantastic 4,? and it’s not what the studio wanted to see. On top of that, one of the senior executives at the studio told the site that the movie was “a mess.”

Well, that’s not good. Of course, many of you seemed to figure that this is where Fantastic Four was headed, so I’m sure some of you aren’t surprised by this news.. X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn recently said that he saw the movie, and that it was simply “good.” It didn’t seem like he was enthusiastic about it though.

The report goes on to say that the studio is demanding reshoots, and that they are freeing up millions of dollars to make that happen. They also say that the sets are already being rebuilt in Louisiana.

If this is all to be believed, then Fantastic Four could end up being a terrible film. If the movie turns out to be as bad as it sounds, the franchise might die altogether. That is, until Marvel Studios gets their hands back on the property. I think they are the only studio that fans will put their trust in at this point with these characters.

This didnt sound good from the start of it!  from the actors to the extreme secerts and  no news about the  movie!  i am not surprised  but me  being a marvel  fan!  i will see it anyway!  lol  what are your thoughts after reading this article?

Lord Voldemort Sixth Scale Figure by Star Ace Toys Ltd.

902318-lord-voldemort-001

Lord Voldemort (born Tom Marvolo Riddle) is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling‘s Harry Potter series. Voldemort first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which was released in 1997. Voldemort appeared either in person or in flashbacks in each book and film adaptation in the series, except the third, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where he is mentioned.

In the series, Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has “the power to vanquish the Dark Lord“. Almost no witch or wizard dares to speak his name, instead referring to him by epithets such as “You-Know-Who”, “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” or “the Dark Lord”. Voldemort’s obsession with blood purity signifies his aim to rid the wizarding world of Muggle (non-magical) heritage and to conquer both worlds, Muggle and wizarding, to achieve pure-blood dominance. Through his mother’s family, he is the last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin,one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the leader of the Death Eaters, a group of evil wizards and witches dedicated to ridding the Wizarding World of Muggles and establishing Voldemort as its supreme ruler.

According to an interview with Rowling, “Voldemort” is pronounced with a silent ‘t’ at the end, as in the French word mort, meaning “death”. This was the pronunciation used by Jim Dale in the first four U.S. audiobooks; however, after the release of the film version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, in which the characters who dared refer to him by name pronounced it with the “t”, Dale altered his pronunciation to that in the films.
