Joss Whedon Reviews, Interviews & More

Hey, remember that big hit movie The Avengers? Remember how it had all those cool actors playing superheroes? Well, they're making a spin-off TV show from that movie, and it's called S.H.I.E.L.D. And all those cool movie stars? None of them are going to be in it. But Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson will be on the show, and maybe Cobie Smulders'...

As the guy who directed one of the most successful films in human history (The Avengers), who now gets to essentially determine the course of every Marvel Studios film to be churned out in the next five years, and the creator of one of the greatest television shows of all time (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), you’d think that Joss Whedon would have everything he...

Because he’s contractually obligated to make steam shoot out of fanboys’ and fangirls’ ears on a bi-monthly basis, Joss Whedon recently gave an interview with MTV, variously discuss The Avengers 2, directing the pilot for the new S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show, and what it’s like to be the unofficial overlord of Marvel Phase Two films.  Check out his...

Is anyone having a better year than Joss Whedon?  Not only did he write and direct some little indie flick called The Avengers (which did so-so business) and become anointed as the King of Nerds with a rapturous Firefly 10th Anniversary panel at Comic-Con, but his labor-of-love cinematic adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado...

As part of Marvel's takeover of everything ever, ABC is producing Joss Whedon's S.H.I.E.L.D. show as a spin off to all things Marvel, and they're gearing up production for a possible January start of shooting, with a premiere sometime in the fall of 2013. Today two new additional cast members have been added to the show. What do those castings tell us?

First we'd like to welcome you to Oscar Scuttlebutt, ScreenCrave's official weekly column for everything pertaining to the Academy Awards. Each week we'll be talking about a different movie or two and how it might fit into the race.

And that, folks, is most awesomely random headline you’re likely to read today (unless President Obama, Taylor Swift, and Christopher Lloyd team up with their army of colossal biomechanical Zords to defeat Hurricane Sandy—that…that would be pretty random, too, I suppose).  Yes, Joss Whedon, creator of small screen wonders like...

Because it’s a slow news day, longtime Christopher Nolan cinematographer (including The Dark Knight Rises) Wally Pfister decided to help us all out by attacking The Avengers, its cinematography, and the methods director Joss Whedon used to shoot the film.  In fact, Pfister goes so far as to call The Avengers an “appalling...

In an effort to fill the vacuum between now and 2015, when The Avengers 2 will inevitably roll around, is to try and discern what other Marvel characters will be added to the sequel’s roster (if any).  So far, it has been confirmed that Marvel Universe big bad Thanos will make an appearance of some sort, and rumors have developed that Vin Diesel may show up as the...

While most of the Joss Whedon news that has people abuzz lately concerns both his return as a writer/director for The Avengers 2, as well as his ascendancy as one of the primary ‘architects’ of ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Two,’ one of the most interesting things happening in the nerd-king’s career right now is his return to television.  As we reported earlier this...

In the months after The Avengers’ epic box office success (currently the third highest-earning film in history), one of the biggest questions surrounding the newest leg of Marvel Studios’ comic-to-film franchise was whether or not writer/director Joss Whedon would be returning to helm The Avengers 2.  Well, as we reported earlier this summer, a few dump trucks of money...

It seems Lionsgate have become a sort of guardian angel for Joss Whedon – first they took on Cabin in the Woods after it had been taking up dust on the shelves for months due to the MGM bankruptcy, and now they’ve once again agreed to distribute one of Whedon’s movies, this time Much Ado About Nothing. Read on for more.

As we noted yesterday, Joss Whedon is quickly becoming the “architect” of both The Avengers 2 (he’s the writer and director after all), as well as the entirety of Marvel’s “Phase 2” (Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, the next three years of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor sequels).  And in a recent interview, the...

There have been rumblings that James Gunn—director of The Specials and the whacked-out superhero film Super—will be taking the helm on Marvel’s upcoming adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy (think the Avengers, but in space, in the future, with a raccoon team member—really).  For those of you who find that a little nerve-wracking, rest easy—Joss Whedon,...

Though she is easily one of the most famous comic superheroes, well, ever, Wonder Woman hasn’t been the luckiest gal in the world when it comes to live action media.  After one campy TV series in the 1970s starring Linda Carter, several attempts have been made to bring Wonder Woman to the big and little screens.  This time the CW is going to take a crack...

Unless you haven’t been paying attention, it’s hard not to notice that Joss Whedon has gone from “that guy whose every TV project gets cancelled” to the director of one of the highest-grossing films of all time (The Avengers), and all-around Marvel Studios golden boy.  As such, Marvel has him writing and directing The Avengers 2, develop an ABC TV show that revolves...

As the September 25th release date for The Avengers Blu-Ray and DVD looms before us, carrying with it The Avengers’ dominion once again over the wallets of the film-viewing populace, Marvel is continuing to leak deleted and alternate scenes to whet our collective appetites.  One such bonus nugget included on The Avengers Blu-Ray is an alternate opening scene,...

Want to see a deleted scene from Joss Whedon’s The Avengers?  Seeing as how the film has grossed over a billion dollars in less than six months, it’s likely that you do.  So, to herald the coming of The Avengers on Blu-Ray and DVD (do people still buy new DVD’s?), you can now dig a scene that hit the cutting room floor in which Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner has a...

OK—The Avengers 2 officially has a writer/director (Joss Whedon is coming back), and even an official release date, so it’s now time begin our official three-year campaign of baseless speculation and irresponsible rumor-mongering concerning the making of the highly anticipated sequel.  First up: Vin Diesel may star as the Avenger known as Vision.  Let that one sink in for a...

It may be fake, and Joss Whedon, Mike Birbiglia and Ira Glass may be the best of friends in real life, but the recently fabricated internet war between The Avengers and Sleepwalk With Me is entertaining and funny nonetheless. Read on for more.
