I can honestly say I didn’t see this coming. For a while now we’ve been reporting on the film adaptation of the sci-fi book series John Carter of Mars. Wall-E director Andrew Stanton will helm the feature for Disney, based on the stories written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The two lead characters, John and Dejah have been cast and they’re none other than Wolverine alum’s Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins!

Now that April is right around the corner, the marketing efforts for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is getting really heavy. The film opens on May 1, and has Hugh Jackman reprising the role he originated in the initial X-Men trilogy. I’ve found a new batch of photos that feature Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, Gambit, and Stryker in what looks like production stills from the film. Out of the eight that are featured I only see two that haven’t been shown in previous trailers or promos. One of them include the above image that has Logan/Wolverine standing in a boxing ring at a gym. You can check out the rest of the pics after the jump.

New X-Men Origins:Wolverine photos are here, courtesy of Marvel.com. Over at the site they recently posted three more promo pics for the upcoming summer film, which include another image of Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. The other two photos are of Agent Zero (Daniel Henney), and William Stryker (Danny Huston). Even though I’m happy to see these guys get some well deserved exposure, I still have to beg the question. Where is Dominic Monaghan as Beak? What does this guy look like in the movie? Will we ever know? I’m still waiting Marvel, but until then I’ll have to quench my curiosity with these.

Watchmen star Malin Akerman goes from a big budget heroine to an indie darling with her latest project, The Bang Bang Club. According to Variety, the actress will co-star with Ryan Phillippe in the upcoming drama set in “apartheid-era” South Africa. The film’s script was written by documentary filmmaker Steven Silver, who adapted the story from the Greg Marinovich memoir.
The film follows four combat war photographers who are nicknamed the Bang Bang Club. Akerman will play a photo editor, who oversees Marinovich (Phillippe), and Kevin Carter played by another comic book alum Taylor Kitsch. The film will be produced by Foundry Films’ Daniel Iron alongside Out of Africa’s Lance Samuels and Adam Friedlander. Continue Reading

The final trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine has just been released! For the most part the trailer shows footage that we’ve already seen, mixed with a couple unfamiliar action sequences. There are a few shots of a young Cyclops that weren’t in the first, and more fight footage with Gambit, Deadpool, and of course Wolverine. After watching the trailer I’ve learned one important thing. Wolverine can use his claws for ANYTHING. He can open prison cells, start fires, shred trucks, and stab airplanes. It’s a bit much but this is an action movie, don’t we want some of the violence to verge on ridiculous?
Check out the trailer after the jump.

The three day promotional event for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is officially over. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night the Fox Network aired three exclusive 60 second spots promoting the first X-Men spinoff, Wolverine. After careful examination I feel that I’ve gotten a better idea of what direction the story for the film will go in. Wolverine as a comic character has a very vague, and diluted past. So many different interpretations have been made about his origin, his age, and most importantly his claws.
Get a detailed recap of all three promos after the jump…
