With less than four months to go until the launch of the The Avengers, we’re getting all sorts of stories, pictures and rumors about the film, which has a May 4 release date. Of late, Empire Magazine has had four character-specific covers, there’s hints at what the film’s Hulk might look like, and a completely baseless rumor about a possible Marvel franchise cross-over. Take a look….
Several high-profile films are heading to theaters and The Muppets are leading the way! Disney has released their latest parody posters, which feature Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog channeling their inner Twilight. We’ve also snagged the first one-sheet for the revamped, 3D release of Titanic, and we’ve discovered Scarlett Johansson’s new behind the scenes film role!
Catch up below…
Well, it’s finally here—the trailer for the Marvel Films juggernaut in which they mash together the Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America films into a gargantuan, two-hour plus sandwich of explosions, Robert Downey Jr. quips, unconvincing Hulk CGI, and Scarlett Johansson doing things in tights: The Avengers. Toss in some Nine Inch Nails music, the bad guy with the slick mullet from Thor, and some Sam Jackson action in which Sam Jackson acts all Sam Jackson with that Sam Jackson style (did I mention Sam Jackson is in this? Sam Jackson is in this), and you’ve got just about every single Marvel movie trailer you’ve ever seen, all rolled into one convenient mush for you to slurp up.
Marvel studios has been building to Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers since 2008, when Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson had an end credit scene that laid out the possibility of Tony Stark working with a team. Since then we’ve seen Chris Hemsworth cast as Thor, Scarlett Johansson cast as Black Widow, Chris Evans cast as Captain America, Jeremy Renner cast as Hawkeye, and Edward Norton cast as the Hulk. Six out of seven isn’t bad. All of The Avengers save Jackson grace the latest Entertainment weekly cover, and features the new Hulk Mark Ruffalo. Check out the cover….
Getting Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson for his follow up to Elizabethtown was not a bad idea for Cameron Crowe. We Bought a Zoo is his first feature since that 2005 fiasco, and it’s coming just in time for award season. Damon plays a widower who buys a zoo, and probably figures out how to deal with grief and new love in this Dramedy. Check out the trailer…
It’s been a while since we had a Cameron Crowe feature in theaters. Luckily, we won’t be waiting much longer – We Bought a Zoo is coming out this winter. While there’s still no news on a first trailer, USA Today revealed a set of first look photos. From that we can get a hint that we’re in for a treat. See for yourself.
If you thought Jessica Alba was a hot pregnant mom, get a hold of this – this weekend SNL’s host Scarlett Johansson appeared on SNL for a “My Super Sweet 16 and Pregnant” skit which a parodied the shows “My Super Sweet 16″ and “16 and Pregnant.” In the skit, Johansson flaunted a huge pregnant belly while wearing a super short-and-sexy red dress and a huge tiara while delivering the line, “I’m rich. I’m beautiful and I’m fully dilated,” said Johansson.
Aw, to be rich, beautiful and fully dilated. Let’s MTV doesn’t get any ideas now…
