Since the first wave of water colored poster art had been released for the newest installment of “The Wolverine” we have only seen vague and slightly distinguishable characters. In accordance with the new trailer release (which is awesome) we have also been given posters that are clearly defined as characters Yukio and Viper. The art is still pretty ambiguous, however follows in suit with the films genre and style and I think they work well. Not to mention a pretty awesome scene in the trailer of Jean Grey was revealed.

In 2004, the Chronicles of Riddick aired with a little bit of animosity from the fans. From there we thought the franchise had fallen off with no hopes of returning. Today a new trailer for the second installment for what is slated to be a trilogy appeared. Starring Vin Diesel this film will be the third in the series following Pitch Black’s events in 2000. What makes this film a bit different then the previous is that Diesel is producing it.
This week Kevin Smith announced that he has finally completed a first draft of the long awaited Clerks III. “IT IS ACCOMPLISHED!” Smith proclaims via Twitter. “First draft of CLERKS III is 137 pages.” I hefty accomplishment. Fans can sit at ease though. It took 12 years between the first and the second film, this one will only take roughly 8. What with the first film being an instant cult classic in it’s nostalgic black and white demeanor, we can only have high hopes for stylization and crack up writing. Smith claims that this film will be the “Empire Strikes Back of the Clerks trilogy.” We can only speculate some crazy comparisons. I’m crossing my fingers that Dante...
In the last 10 years of comic films, it is hard to compare the awe, wonder and wit in other heroes to that of Robert Downey Junior portraying Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. Between the ingenious screenplay and the block buster graphics all of the films have landed in the top five Marvel reboot movies. These are movies that appeal to the masses.

Included in the series is one Agent Coulson…which if you saw The Avengers, was killed by Loki. So how is Coulson alive in this series. Well I guess we’ll have to watch and see. By the way Marvel/Disney…a little more color in the cast please, this is 2013, it’s OK to have a Latino agent and/or an African American in a T.V. show. Check out the trailer below…
It should come as no surprise that this film is taking awhile in process. Many films have a hold status placed on them before release. The evidence that we have of this is that Dean Sherriff one of the films conceptual artists placed out information on twitter. Let’s not jump to conclusions about it being off for good.
