EVEN MORE NAMES BANDIED ABOUT FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA





it appears that now Chris Evans (Yes you read that right! The guy who played Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies) is now one of the frontrunners for Captain America. What do you think? Is Chris a good choice for Cap?

CAPTAIN AMERICA ANIMATED SERIES!?





Funny how some things never materialize!

Check out the youtube clip that shows that Saban (The company that did the X-Men 90's animated series) was prepping a Captain America animated series! Lucky for us this thing never took off! I say that because even though the show featured the RED SKULL, they were under orders from Fox at the time that NO NAZIS or swastikas would ever be shown! Doesn't make sense does it?

see for yourself and be the judge!

CAPTAIN AMERICA CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT IMMINENT! WHOSE IN THE RUNNING?







According to Collider, Jensen Ackles is still in contention to play Captain America.

They are reporting that there are seven, not six actors on the short list.

John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Garrett Hedlund, Chace Crawford, Michael Cassidy, and Mike Vogel have already been reported all over the net. Collider adds Jensen Ackles to the list.

Collider reports that the problem with both Hedlund and Ackles is scheduling. His commitment to Supernatural seems to conflict with the Captain America shooting schedule. I find it hard to believe something could not be worked out.

I have by no means been an advocate of Ackles for Captain America but with the other choices available, I hope he can find some time in his schedule for the role. I can't believe I'm saying this but of the names mentioned, he is far and away the best choice.

I am also hearing that John Krasinski (The Office) all but has the role. Sorry i just can't see him pulling Cap Off.

What I find shocking is that the actor who lands the role will only be getting $300k for the first film but the contract will stipulate a 9 picture deal (To cover The Avengers and it's sequels and any other guest appearances in other Marvel films!)

SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL UPDATE!






UPDATE:
Variety have confirmed the story...

"David Goyer will help Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures get Superman off the ground again.
The writer-director-producer has been tapped to pen the next bigscreen adventure of the Man of Steel, the working title of the next pic."

UPDATE 2: IGN have an exclusive update on this story and claim not only is Goyer on board, but his The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan will also be scripting Superman: The Man of Steel along with him. Nolan's brother Christopher is expected to only executive-produce, and not direct, the film. That said, he will be "hands-on" as a producer. Since the Superman film is under the gun because of the ongoing legal entanglements involving the property, Warner Bros. wants the pair to get started on their script on the double.

Their sources add that Warners is confident in the early work that Goyer and Jonah Nolan have done so far on Batman 3, and that as a result Superman has now taken on a higher priority status at the studio than it had since Superman Returns was released.

CONFIRMED! DAVID GOYER IS WRITING SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL!!!



According to Latino Review and their "notorious trusted source" David Goyer, co-writer of Nolan's Batman movies will be writing a script for the new Superman movie entitled: Man Of Steel. Here is the scoop sent to them by said trusted source, the quite annoying Pinche Taco...


Hola Chicos, Pinche Taco here with the latest blatherings de nada de los Ninos de Hollywood!

So you will believe un hombre can fly! Te Juro. The talented David S. Goyer, the man who made sure Nolan stuck to the legend of The Dark Knight, has been hired to write the next chapter. Here is what El Taco can tell all of you:

1)Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary, got tired of all the discussion and decided chingate, let's do it. So he went to Goyer and Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN! So Tull got Goyer hired.

2)The film will not be called Superman and will be called THE MAN OF STEEL.

3)Brandon Routh will not star in the film.

4)Nic Cage will NOT star in the fllm (lol)

5)Bryan Singer is not expected to direct.

comic book legend (In his own mind!) Mark Millar walks around acting like he was going to write it? El Taco discovered that this was always BULLSHIT. Paul Levitz hated the guy and he was never even discussed to write it. He made all that "almost" stuff up. I can tell you that Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac. It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry. I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet. And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology.
