Add another amazing license to Mondo‘s growing list of conquests. The poster boutique of the Alamo Drafthouse has made official posters for Star Wars, Star Trek, Pixar, Disney, Jurassic Park and Wednesday they announced a partnership with DC Comics to start producing posters for films and comics. Yes, DC. As in Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.
The first poster, Fortress of Solitude, is by rising artist JC Richard (whose Jurassic Park poster by Mondo might be their best yet) and will be released on Black Friday.
After the jump, check out the full image and speculate as to what a team up between Mondo and DC could mean for the future. Read More »

Briefly: Insert ‘faster than a speeding bullet’ joke here: Zack Snyder‘s new Superman film, Man of Steel, will now arrive on June 14, 2013 rather than in December 2012. What’s the reason for the delay? As has been the case with questions about the script for Man of Steel, we don’t have reliable answers. We’ll take the date for now, along with the recent word that 300 writer Kurt Johnstad is doing rewrite duties on David Goyer‘s script, with Jonathan Nolan having done a pass as well. [MTV]
On the darker side of the comic adaptation news cycle, Lionsgate has given a release date to the new Judge Dredd film, Dredd. That will now hit on September 21, 2012. That lands right between the company’s other releases in that time frame, The Expendables 2 on August 17 and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D on October 5. Pete Travis directed Dredd with Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey starring in the adaptation of the stories of a violent and almost all-powerful peacekeeping force in the post-apocalyptic sprawl of Mega-City 1.

Warner Bros. is racing to get Superman back on screen, and one report says that a new talent has been recruited to assist.

When it was announced last week that Christopher Meloni, formerly of Law & Order: SVU and Wet Hot American Summer, had signed on for the cast of Zack Snyder‘s Superman flick Man of Steel, Russ couldn’t help speculating what this might mean for the movie — and wondering whether Meloni might be filling the role of Daily Planet editor Perry White. Now it seems we have our answer: No. Sorry, Russ. Find out what Meloni will be doing after the jump.

Add one more to the new Superman film, as Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel has just locked in Christopher Meloni to play an unspecified but reportedly major role. Is there a sex crime to solve? Maybe someone fondled some sweaters? Or is it that there is a newspaper to run? We haven’t heard whether or not Perry White, the man in charge of the Daily Planet, is in the movie. But if the character is a part of the story, Mr. Meloni would be a pretty great choice to modernize him. Read More »
Briefly: Zack Snyder has already got his cast to play Clark Kent’s adoptive Earthly parents in his new Superman tale, The Man of Steel. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane will be Ma and Pa Kent to Henry Cavill‘s Clark. But in his prior life on Krypton, Clark — aka Kal-el — has a set of ‘real’ parents. Russell Crowe has been offered the role of Jor-El, famously played by Marlon Brando when Richard Donner brought the story to the screen in 1978.
Now Julia Ormond is in talks to play Lara Lor-Van, aka Superman’s mom. (Susannah York played the role, often just referred to as Lara, in Superman: The Movie.) Deadline suggests that this is a deal that will come together quickly.
