#MovieNEWS MORBIUS Trailer 2 (2022)

Morbius looks like...

Hmmm..

Something I'm not gonna bother to watch, to put it gently.

Anyways, here's crazy Jared Leto talking about the film as well as the new trailer - including a shoe-horned hint "a web or opportunity"... yeah.. right :

I admit, I forgot this film was coming... And I will probably forget it again until I find it on a bargain bin in a few months...

This comes next January.

#MarvelNEWS MORBIUS - Teaser Trailer

And the first trailer for Jared Leto’s Morbius is here. They actually did it?? But WAIT! That's not the worst or strangest part of it...


See the Spider-man grafs? The Michael Keaton!Vulture tease at the end? It's the Rise of Sony's adjacent MCU-less MCU Sony Spider-Verse. Yeah. Like the MCU TV shows. It will reference the larger MCU, but I doubt it's gonna go both ways.

Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa and also stars Good Omens’ Adria Arjona. It hits theaters on July 31.

So here's two Transylvanian horror comedy movies for Halloween for the price of one!

#SDCC 2015 News! New BLADE comics series

Here's some news that will take my mind off those rumors about Wesley Snipes trying to talk to Marvel to revive the Blade film series and produce a Blade 4. (Come on, as much as I loved those first two films - avoid the third one at all cost!! - we all know Snipes' been getting increasingly worse to work with. The only reason he want to make a new Blade movie is to get some quick easy money fast after his tax evasion fraud.)

Well, Marvel's about to revive the Blade comics instead. True, the angle of this new comic could work as well in a new movie or Netflix series with an older Blade figure.

*cue angry fanbodys* Hey! That's not Blade! Why did Marvel also turn Blade into a female!? Etc. Copy-paste any fanboy rant ever.

Correct. That's his daughter! Our good ol' regular Blade will still be part of the book. But now the book will be about father and daughter slaying vampires. This new series will be written by Hack/Slash creator Tim Seeley with art by Logan Faerber.

And here's some promising quotes from Tim Seeley:

“I love that we’re taking Blade completely out of his former genre and world,” he says. “He’s not in an urban landscape, taking on tribes of vampires. He’s in a small town, facing way weirder stuff than vampires, and he’s going to have to attend prom. Blade’s complete focus to one mission and total inflexibility make for some good drama when you drop him into new situations. Also, occasional hilariousness."

“It’s always a dream come true to bring some of your own particular brand of comic to Marvel,” Seeley shares. “And since some of my major influences are 70’s Marvel horror comics, it’s also a way for me to complete the bloody circle. I think readers of [my other work] Hack/Slash and Revival will find things to like about our take on Blade, and I think we’re creating a cool fusion of modern horror comic, 70’s monster comic, John Carpenter movie, and John Hughes movie."

This sounds... pretty fun actually.

So many great characters missing in action in the DC Universe at the moment...

One might wonder, what happen to those forgotten characters, those sometimes-quirky and oddball types that have no place for big gritty modern story tales? Mmmh...

Is Nicolas Cage an Highlander? - answers on the 'Late Show with David Letterman'

So what does Nic Cage thinks about the whole "Nic Cage is an immortal vampire" rumor?
Nicky finally talked about it on a recent show of David Letterman...



There you have it!
"Not a vampire".
Case closed, I guess.

...
though I guess an actual immortal vampire would actually say that exact same answer..?
Mmmh.. I guess we'll still have our doubts concerning this whole affair...

The Best Movie you'll ever see: Bruce Lee and Popeye in Hell vs. Dracula and James Bond

This is actually a real movie!


 
This insane movie is actually Dragon Lives Again. A 1976 Bruceploitation movie that featured yet another fake Bruce Lee (taking advantage of his fame after his death) and a Chinese Popeye!

They really went all-out for this one, it's like the ultimate crossover!

"This is truly one of humanity's greatest work, from any culture, and any time period, this is without a doubt a cornerstone of human achievement." - some guy on youtube

Well said little fellow. Well said.

Monster-of-the-day: a Jiang Shi!

Today's "monster" is a Jiang Shi.
What you'd translate as a Chinese "hopping" vampire/zombie.
"Jiang shi , sometimes called Chinese vampires by Westerners, are reanimated corpses that hop around, killing living creatures to absorb life essence from their victims. They are said to be created when a person’s soul fails to leave the deceased’s body, due to improper death, suicide, or just wanting to cause trouble. A peculiar feature is their greenish-white furry skin. They are said to have long white hair all over their heads."

I tried to make sort of my own Jiang Shi while incorporating elements from some Jiang Shis I like (mostly Capcom's Hsien Ko/Lei Lei)
Who's gonna be the next creature of the night?!

(Ha! :P)

Here's more news about the upcoming new DC Comics titles!

Joss Whedon doesn't suck. And hates this revoltin' development.

So, once again, Hollywood writers, running out of ideas like always, decided to remake/reboot another cult loved franchise.
This time, they're gonna reboot Buffy The Vampire Slayer without any participation from its original creator, Joss Whedon.

First, the series isn't that old come on!
(though I gotta admit...I'm not a fan really...)
Second... couldn't they let Joss on it?
It's just some random new producers, out of ideas for the past 10+ years, that probably thought "Hey!! Buffy seems popular. So it can still make some money. I want on it!! Let's remake the thing in a big blockbuster movie, hire me the cheapest writers, actors and director you can find!!"

Here's Joss Whedon own reaction from today, on E! News:

"This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths-just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you."

'nuff said!
