• Michael Fassbender has singed with Ubisoft Motion Pictures to co-produce and star in an Upcoming Assassin's Creed game. Ubisoft Motion Pictures has signed with Sony so that UMP has almost an unlimited amount of creative control. That is the only news out now, but it does create a long list of question.
  Questions like:
  -Who will Michael Fassbender play?
  -Which Assassin will be in it?
  -Will it be a new Assassin?
  -What time period will the main amount of the story take place?
  The list goes on and on.
• The villain for Star Trek 2 has been announced. Karl Urban has leaked that Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing Gary Mitchell, NOT Khan. If you didn't watch the original Star Trek TV series you would not know who he is. He was in the third episode of the series title Where No Man Has Gone Before. That episode was about the Enterprise crew discovering the log of a long-lost ship. Two crew members transform into beings of immense psychic ability. One of which is Kirk’s longtime friend Gary Mitchell. These new powers corrupt Mitchell, and force Kirk and Spock to strand him on a remote planet. Mitchell causes problem and forces Kirk to kill him to save the universe.

TMNT fans tell Michael Bay to quit his Job!

The Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
2. Prometheus
3. Rock of Ages
4. Snow White and the Huntsman
5. That's My Boy

The Movie news for the Week:

• Star Trek 2 is being confirmed to be released in IMAX 3D. The IMAX part excites me, but the 3D part doesn't. I wish more directors had the same views as Christopher Nolan. I guess they are only worried about making the money.
• Here is a close up of the Batwing from The Dark Knight Rises:
  
  As the picture says, it is outfited with:
• Rocket launchers
• Flood lights (only slightly less awesome than rocket launchers)
• Dual machine guns
• And an EMP cannon
• Michael Bay's adaption of the Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles story is being delayed until May of 2014. Did you hear that? Oh, it was just a big sigh from the nerd community. When Michael Bay announced the turtles would become extraterrestrials, there was a big out cry from the nerd community. Michael Bay told them to chill out and wait until they hear more about the story. I would like to think that this delay was because of that lash out.

The recently released trailer:

• Django Unchained International Trailer:
  
  
• Sinister:
  

• Re5ident Evil: Retribution:
  

• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Music Trailer:

Britney Spears is replacing Paula Abdul!?

The Television news for the week:

• Here are some more details on the Arrested Development show and movie:
• The fourth Season will have 10 episodes and will lead up to the movie.
• Each episode will be about a different member of the Bluth family. What they have been doing since we last saw them and what they are doing in the events leading up to the movie.
• Netflix will be releasing the entire season at once to see how many total views they can get.
• If this season does well, there might be another season coming.
• Britney Spears is finalizing a deal so that she can become a Judge on Season 2 of The X Factor. After Paula Abdul was axed, they need to replace her with somebody. Simon Cowell says that they will be announcing a new judge by the end of next week. If Britney Spears takes the deal, she will be making $15 Million a season.
• Bryan Fuller is thinking of developing a new Star Trek TV show. If it happens, it would take place after J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek Sequel. Which gives the show sometime to really work out the story. They are planning to make the show in the years 3000 and with a whole new Ship. The show is years away from production, but I will keep you updated as the story develops.
• Season 2 of American Horror Story has a little bit of news. Ryan Murphy, the series' creator, has said that the show will be taking place at a institution for the criminally insane on the east coast that is being ran by Jessica Lange character. I still have not watched a single episode of the show and have no idea if I should get into the show.

Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is: 

QOTD: Should I start watching American Horror Story?

IMAX is better then 3D!!

As always, the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Think Like a Man
2. The Lucky One
3. The Hunger Games
4. Chimpanzee
5. The Three Stooges

On to the Movie news for the week:

• There is a behind the scenes clip of The Avengers that is almost 20 minutes long. There is no dialog in the clip to keep from spoiling the movie. There is however some well chosen background music. Check out the clip below:
  
  
• There is a set photo from Star Trek 2 that hit the web. It shows Spock in his Volcanic suit and nothing more then that. Check it out below:
  
• The final posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have been released. They add a darker tone to the highly anticipated reboot. Check them out below:
  
• Universal Pictures has announced that they will be working on a big screen reboot of The Rockford Files. There has not been many details released, but they have signed Vince Vaughn to play Jim Rockford. This role was originally played by James Garner in the TV Show. This could be a very good move or a very bad movie. It all depends on how Universal and Vince approach the movie.
• There have been more behind the scenes images released of The Lone Ranger. They show Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp meeting with Navajo leaders. Check out the images below:
  
• If you are planning to go see The Avengers Opening Night like I am, you are going to get a special treat. Warner Brothers has announced that they will be releasing a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises before The Avengers. Thats a big announcement since The Dark Knight Rises might end up being the Movie of the Year and hopefully the Greatest Movie of All Time! I will make sure to post the trailer on the following Monday for the movie blog.
• Guy Pearce has joined Iron Man 3 as Aldrich Killian, one of the creator of the Extremis technology. When the military pulls the funding for his project, Killian turns into a villain. The movie also has Ben Kingsley playing an undetermined villain. My guess still stand that he will play the Mandarin, even though Marvel still denies this.
• Another set photo from Les Misérables have been released. This one shows Anne Hathaway & Hugh Jackman and it looks like they are singing:
  
• Christopher Nolan says that over an hour of The Dark Knight Rises was shot in IMAX format. What does this mean you ask? This means that the movie will look better, feel real, and be a better movie. The IMAX shots in this movie are double the ones in The Dark Knight and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I don't know about you, but I can't for the movie to hit theaters.

What a crazy random happenstance!

The Television news for the week:

• A TV show for the movie Braveheart is in the works. It is planned to be a prequel to the blockbuster which stared crazy old Mel Gibson. The TV series will be about William Wallace before he was king focusing on his back story and the years he spent fighting to unify Scotland. So far there is no word if Mel Gibson is a part of it or what network it will be on.
• There has been some amazing news coming from The Walking Dead this week. The famed character, Michonne, from the comic books has made a revel in Sunday nights Season 2 finale. Danai Gurira is set to play her in Season 3. Michonne is defined as a meth-addict, sword swinging lawyer who brings her zombified boyfriend and best friend with her. Its has also been confirmed that  Merle, played by Michael Rooker, will be back in Season 3. No word yet if he will be in a hallucination or if he will be in the prison waiting for the group. We already know that David Morrissey is playing the Governor in Season 3. They will start filming for Season 3 in May and Season 3 will premiere this fall on AMC.
• Simon Pegg might be joining TNT's L.A. Noir as a regular guest star. There is no word yet on what his role will be since he is still in talks with TNT and Frank Darabont. Seems like a cool role for him since he will also be working on Star Trek 2 and MI:5. This will be his return to TV since he did Spaced back in 2001. Speaking of that, Spaced is on Netflix Instant streaming. If you like British comedy, then you will like Spaced.
• Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog 2 is going to start filming this summer. Joss Whedon has confirmed that they are planning to film the long awaited sequel to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  Joss Whedon has said that he has a number of songs written and has the outline ready. There is no word yet on who will be back to reprise their roles.
• The first image of Stephen Amell in his Green Arrow costume for The CW's Green Arrow Pilot called Arrow has been released. Check it out below:

Bruce Willis is really hard to kill!

As always, the Weekend Box Office Results:.

1. Act of Valor
2. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds
3. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
4. Safe House
5. The Vow

Now the Movie news for the week:

• William Fichtner, The Dark Knight and Prison Break, has replaced Dwight Yoakam as a villain in  Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger.  Dwight Yoakam had to back out of the film due to  scheduling issues.  William Fichtner is used to playing a villain type role and I think this could be a good role for him.

• The role of John McClane Jr. has been cast for A Good Day to Die Hard, aka Die Hard 5.  Jai Courtney, an Austrailan Actor from the show  Spartacus: Blood and Sand, will be playing the role of Bruce Willis's son. I don't if they are bringing him in to take over as lead or just to make another sequel.
  Here is a picture from a screen test with father and son:
  

• Set photos from Start Trek 2 have been released and they show little of the upcoming sequel to the 2009 Blockbuster. The only thing that I thought was cool was Spock using the Vulcan Death Grip on  Benedict Cumberbatch.
  Check out the picture below:
  
  Also J.J. Abrams has confirmed that Star Trek 2 is being filmed in IMAX format. Personally, id rather see a film in IMAX format instead of 3D. 3D is not worth the extra money (or migraine.) I have seen only one film in IMAX format and that was Inception. It was worth the extra money and to me made the film look better. I am a huge Star Wars Fan, but I dont plan on seeing any of the films in 3D, except for the first 20 minutes of Episode 3 and and the Original Trilogy.

• The Hunger Games is beating Twilight Eclipse in the sense of advanced ticket sells and it still has a month to go. I am not a huge fan of The Hunger Games, but I may end up seeing it. Especially if this movie can bet the crap out of any Twilight record!

• Rumor: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might play Hercules in Brett Ratner's Hercules movie.

• A new trailer for The Avengers is to be released online on  February 29th. I will make sure to find it and post it as soon as I watch it.

QOTD: Do you like IMAX, 3D, or both?

Slappa da bass!

As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Contraband
2. Beauty and the Beast (3D)
3. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
4. Joyful Noise
5. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Now onto the news for this week:

• J.J. Abrams had an interview this week to talk about Star Trek 2. In the interview he discussed how Star Trek 2 will be converted into 3D after the movie is complete. He says he did it this way to make have the look and feel of the first one. He also talks about people making fun of him for having the Lens Flares in the first film. In my opinion they made the film fell more like it was shot in Space. So far he is still doing the Lens Flares in the sequel.
• Tom Hardy, you know the soon to be super famous movie star, will play Al Capone in the upcoming crime drama 'Cicero'.  For those who know there Al Capone history know that  Cicero, Illinois is where he set up his main headquarters of operation. After seeing Tom Hardy in Bronson it is a great roll for him to play.
• Richard Schiff may be playing the Superman version of  Lucius Fox (from the recent Batman trilogy) in Superman: Man of Steel. He is set to play  Professor Emil Hamilton, but no word on what version he is going to play from the comic books. Like I said, he may be the  gadget supplier for Superman after Lex Luthor takes credit for his inventions and drives him insane.
• Bruce Almighty 2 is now in development. No word yet on the plot or anything, except Jim Carrey is back. Also Dumb & Dumber 2 may still happen after almost 20 years.
• Channing Tatum gets his butt kicked by Gina Carano in a 'Haywire' clip
• A clip from 'Red Tails', a movie about the Tuskegee program during WWII.
• Thor 2 Script Being changed by Robert Rodat, the screenwritter from  'Saving Private Ryan’. This could be good.
• Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is getting a rewrite, i'm still wondering why it is being made. I have  Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 on my iTunes, but I still have not watched it.
• The Dark Knight Rises IMAX Tickets are already selling out, i'm still waiting to get some in my area.
• Steven Spielberg is not Directing Jurassic Park 4. Rumors say that it will open a new trilogy in the series.
• 'The Avenger' will be mostly from Captain America perspective. Makes sense to me, he just woke up in the future and doesn't know whats going on.
• Josh Trank, the Director of the upcoming movie Chronicle may be directing the Fantastic 4 Reboot.
• My Favorite Comedy Duo is getting back together to make another movie.  Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are back with  Judd Apatow for a 'Knocked Up'  spinoff. The movie is suppossed to be about Pete and Debbie (now close to their 40s) a few years after 'Knocked Up' and is called 'This is 40'. Megan Fox is also signed to star.
• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Featurette

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will be the days that I post blogs. Tuesday will consist of Movie and TV news, Thursday will consist of Gaming and Tech news, and lastly Friday will be a normal day with only Music news.


With all that taken care of, lets get to the news:

Until next time,
