BadTaste.it has two new international movie posters for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. One of the character posters features Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), the other, the Angel of Death (Doug Jones). Click on the photo above to see the images slightly larger. I’m surprised that the U.S. character banners don’t feature any of the more visually interesting characters introduced in this new film, sticking to the three main leads: Hellboy, Liz and Abe Sapien. Hellboy 2 hits theaters in the States on July 11th 2008.

Empire has posted a very cool featurette for the upcoming big screen adaptation of Mark Millar’s Wanted. The behind-the-scenes look might actually make you excited to the the film. Intercuting panels from the comic book with sequences from the film, the cast and crew from the film explain why this movie might actually be worth looking forward to.
Some of the visuals are nothing less than insane. Like the sequence when the camera follows a bullet through a glass window reminded me of The Wachowski Brothers. Or the sequence in the office when James McAvoy attacks someone with a keyboard. Or how about when the guy kills a fly with a [...]
I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about the computer generated Hulk in the new Incredible Hulk movie. Personally, I had no problems with the design in this upcoming movie or Ang Lee’s film from a couple years back. /Film reader Mark C sent over a fan created 3D rendering, which I even agree, looks better than the stuff we’ve seen in the current trailers. Sweden-based artist Jonas Thornqvist created this model using 3ds max, Mental Ray, and Photoshop.

Universal has released the official teaser trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. While some of the production photos actually gave me a little hope, I think this new trailer proves there is no hope. What was I thinking, this movie is directed by Rob Cohen, the same guy responsible for Stealth, xXx, and The Fast and the Furious. An army of undead warriors?! Watch the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is in negotiations to star opposite Michael Cera in the big screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead helmer Edgar Wright is set to direct based on a screenplay he co-wrote with Michael Bacal (who is also penning the fictional remake of The King of Kong).
Based on the Oni Press graphic novel Scott Pilgrim Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life, written by Bryan Lee O’Malley. Winstead will play an American delivery girl named Ramona V. Flowers, the dream woman of a 23-year-old Canadian slacker (Cera) who must battle and defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends to win her heart. [...]
Universal has released a sweet new poster for Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army. You gotta love the tagline “Believe it or Not, He’s the Good Guy” and billing del Toro as “the Visionary Director of Pan’s Labyrinth”, which is both expected and cool. Check out the high resolution version of the new one-sheet over on ComingSoon.
Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army hits theaters on July 11th 2008.
Universal has released a new International movie trailer for Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk. Most of the footage contained within has been seen in the last two trailers with a little more “Hulk Smash”, but it’s probably worth a look. I don’t know that many people excited for this film, but for some reason, I think Hulk could be a sleeper hit. Watch the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments!

Universal has released a new batch of photos from The Incredible Hulk. The photo above is significant because it’s our first look at the super serum that will be (or was) used to create the superhero known as Captain America. Apparently in the film, William Hurt’s General Thunderbolt Ross tells Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky about a weapons program initiated during World War II to create a “super soldier” before giving him the injection.
Earlier this weekend, Captain America’s shield was spotted on Tony Stark’s workbench. You gotta love how the Marvel Universe is now working in unity on the big screen. More photos after the jump.
Universal Pictures has signed Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy helmer Gore Verbinski to direct and produce an adaptation of the popular video game BioShock. Aviator screenwriter John Logan is in talks to pen the script. Logan’s filmography also includes Any Given Sunday, Gladiator, The Last Samurai and Sweeney Todd.
Take-Two Interactive is getting a multimillion-dollar advance against gross points on the film. It is believed to be the biggest video game-to-movie deal since the infamous aborted Halo movie deal between Universal and Fox, for which Microsoft got $5 million against 10%. The BioShock deal is structured in a way ensuring the movie won’t end up in turnaround. Verbinski plans to start [...]
“Let’s dance, Tom.”
In the dizzying sinkhole of modern remakes, enough time has passed with 1954’s Creature from the Black Lagoon to dampen fanboy squabbles over a new studio effort. Of course, the sci-fi horror reboot still needs to impress, and that responsibility falls with its director. While I hoped to see John Landis or Rob Zombie strike up fresh chills and gills in exotic locales, director Breck Eisner (Sahara, son of Michael) tells ShockTilYouDrop that his planned remake is moving forward, complete with locations scoped out in South America, a fully created, newly envisioned creature, and less than two percent aspiration to be the next Mummy 1, 2, 3, [...]
/Film reader Editor E has passed along word that screenwriters Derek Haas and Michael Brandt have already been hired by Universal to pen a sequel to Wanted. Derek Haas revealed that
“We’re just finishing up a book adaptation for Universal of the James Siegel novel Deceit. We’ve been hired to write the sequel to Wanted by the same studio,” Derek Haas revealed to Pajiba. “And we’ve got a few more things in the hopper that it’s a little premature to talk about.”
I always assumed that Wanted was going to be in and out of movie theaters when it is released in June. The online response to the project has been minimal. [...]
/Film Reader Nader spotted The Incredible Hulk at his local multiplex:
“I (jokingly) asked the manager if “i could have it” and he (seriously) replied telling me “No, they have to send it back to the studio when they’re done with it”. I went up to feel it and I’m pretty sure it is made of fiberglass. Either way, it seemed extremely heavy and pretty legit. Sorry for the low quality pictures but all i had on me was my phone.”
I also spotted Incredible Hulk statues at the Metreon in downtown San Francisco and the Daily City Century theaters. So I’m pretty sure Universal mass produced these things and put them [...]
A bunch of new photos popped up on the web today. Official Pix has started selling photos from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for $5.99. Here are a few of the new photos they are selling (beware: potential spoilers if you’re smart enough to connect the dots):
Universal has released a batch of new photos from The Incredible Hulk. You remember, that other comic book movie coming out this summer…Â Yes, it’s still coming out. We’ve included all 24 production photos from the film below.
BadTaste have gotten their hands on the final international teaser poster for the third Mummy film, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
