Jon Favreau twittered this morning “I’m looking at the biggest green screen I’ve ever seen.” Screenrant has a photo from the huge outdoor green screen set of Iron Man 2.

ThePlaylist speculates on which filmmakers could take over the Batman director’s chair from Christopher Nolan.

Rian Johnson hilariously commented on Twitter: “I think [Michael] Bay’s creative process is clarified by describing any scene from the film then putting the words “and shit” at the end of it.”

Warner Bros. has set an April 16, 2010 release date for Sylvain White’s big screen adaptation of the Vertigo comic book, The Losers. [shh]

  • That's a mighty big green screen. Can't wait to see what's going to be added onto it!
  • sammyjankis
    I have been driving by that thing on the freeway for weeks, wondering what movie would command such a huge green screen.
  • ...
    Poor Tron Man...
    and yes, Rian Johnson is hilarious.
    ...

    Re Zod: Isn't he a little busy being trapped in the void with Ursa and Non?


    No real biggie, I guess. I never considered Smallville anything more than 90210 with superpowers.
  • To Zod, eh, it's a reinvisioning. I prefer creative changes, so long as they work. We'll see if they don't ruin this one...

    And as to the 90210, it can be. You have to catch the right episodes to be impressed. Otherwise you'll see... *shutter* the other episodes. The show has great highs, but their lows are lowwwwwww.... Realy low.
  • MickJ
    Go Rian Johnson! Haha, that's exactly how it goes.
  • John
    That picture of Tron Man should have come with a warning.
  • mchops
    R2D2 was hidden under the bed in SAMs dorm room when he was banging Alice!
  • Sketch
    Fred Tatasciore has an awesome voice, and has done a crap load of voicework practically everyone's heard just not have known.

    And dammit that event for Hayao Miyazaki is sold out! Dammit dammit dammit!!!! I wish I got this news as it was posted on their site. I would have been there ASAP.
  • dagreenman18
    Gerard Butler with an AMERICAN accent? trippy.
  • ChetSteadman
    Sounded pretty bad in my opinion.
  • samboni
    the past 10 rian johnson tweets are hilarious.
  • Palmer
    Whoa, It's going to be weird seeing Callum Blue playing Zod after seeing him on Dead Like Me. Of course I stopped watching Smallville a long time ago so that might be why.

    I saw that Bolivian thing. It has to be faked, I mean I don't they would honestly believe that was real.

    "The trailer for Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day will premiere at Comic-Con."

    Best news I've heard all day
  • Jon Favreau just posted a picture of the greenscreen. Hard to say how big it is. :P http://img231.yfrog.com/i/khl.jpg/
  • Jeff R
    A: Robocop is not a robot, he is a cyborg

    The Ugly Truth looks hilarious.

    A greatest trailers list without Iron Man...Glad to see Sin City though, which is probably one of my favorite trailers of all time.
  • Hat
    "M" sucked. I don't care what you think.
  • Screw the two-disc Grindhouse Blu-ray, we want the Kill Bill one-timer! From Paris With Love poster was interesting.
