The 2013 MTV Movie Awards aired last night, and the results are in. Big winners Sunday were The Avengers and The Silver Linings Playbook. Do not get too thrown back though as the ceremony did not grow an Academy-style taste. Twilight still took home an award for Best Shirtless Moment. Results after the jump. Do not forget to check out the Hunger Games trailer and Iron Man 3 sneak peek that aired with the broadcast. Continue Reading

Joss Whedon, aka captain of the ship, seemed unenthused to say the least when IGN asked him about the rumor point blank during press for his Shakespearian comedy Much Ado About Nothing. His response was as follows: “Um, well, I’m really not supposed to comment, but no, that’s nonsense.” The footage after the jump. Continue Reading
Here is a list of the priciest bets that Hollywood placed this past year. For those not in the know, the general rule is two times production cost plus marketing to make it into the black. While studios seldom give details specific to marketing, you can assume $60 to $125 million for most of the following.
*Still in theaters.
In a sense, today’s publication of this news straight from the actor’s mouth courtesy of Total Film is proliferating for confirmation purposes. There are a flood of rumors revolving around these comic book properties in the run-up to production, and it is always good to get something squarely identifying as ‘happening.’ The most high-profile one that got quite a few believers was that Maria Hill would be in the next Iron Man movie simply because the How I Met Your Mother actress who plays her tweeted out she was in North Carolina during the same time of the film’s production. It turns out she was simply there shooting a much smaller project called Safe Haven. Continue Reading
Speaking with Empire, Feige shed some light on the extent of cross-pollination between The Avengers and Iron Man going forward, and what he said pretty much validates this belief. The producer basically says that no one special is showing up, and that he thinks Iron Man can carry the full load on his shoulders without the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. Continue Reading
As said before, this feature is an important one for Marvel Studios as it marks the first effort since the crazy successful ensemble piece The Avengers which bowed five months ago. Not merely a follow-up, Iron Man 3 will kick off a ‘Phase 2′ of sorts that will also include Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy in that order prior to the much-anticipated Avengers sequel in May 2015. Continue Reading
For starters, it will help advertise that imminent Blu-Ray release on September 25 (some links to the bonus features are below the post by the way.) The retread will also serve to capitalize on a stale box office. Only one movie broke past $10 million last weekend (Expendables 2) and from the state of things it would appear as if that mark might barely be breached this weekend as well. New offerings are coming in the form of Lawless and the horror film Possession with neither gaining much steam in early tracking. Continue Reading |

Well, it looks like Latino-Review is about to lose a whole lot of credibility as the folks over there have been landing big exclusive after big exclusive, and at least one of them appears to be dead wrong. The website for breaking word of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie before Marvel’s big Comic-Con reveal ran a big exclusive last month saying that the Illuminati and Planet Hulk would loom large in The Avengers going forward. It turns out that was a load of BS, not unlike the blog’s story on Black Panther last summer.
A production budget does a lot of things for a film. It makes things shinier, pays for the best actors, and serves as the bar for any studio attempting profitability at the box office. Because of that last part, many have jumped to criticize this year’s crop of blockbusters, calling them simply overpriced at times as they sometimes made it very tough for studios to actually make money in a relatively difficult climate. Ultimately, most of the bigger bets paid off this year which should provide a huge sigh of relief for those who could not keep a lid on the coffers.
This bit of news should not come off as surprising to those following every bit of Avengers news that slips out of Marvel Studios. Nick Fury will not be appearing in Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World for that matter. While the former was 
The Avengers finally made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. An elaborate sketch on the mega-hit movie took place during Jeremy Renner’s shot at hosting the long-running sketch comedy series, and it was actually a pretty good one. Most of the show’s cast was utilized to help bring this one to life with one goal in mind: to make of fun of Hawkeye’s uselessness. 
Most of Hollywood has already weighed in on the upcoming general election, and many side with Obama but one big name is coming out in support of Mitt…sarcastically, of course. The mind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and The Avengers is 100% on board with the GOP candidate for President because it should help usher in the zombie apocalypse much better than another round of his liberal counterpart. Hit the jump for some elaboration from director Joss Whedon. 
The official trailer for Iron Man 3 has finally hit the web. What fans can expect from the Shane Black-directed film is on full display here as it alludes to a much darker vibe going forth that will aim to put Tony Stark back in the metaphorical Afghani cave that started it all. Theater goers are privy to their first glimpses of characters played by Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, and Ben Kingsley with the last of which being the primary villain of the movie: Mandarin.
Tomorrow is a pretty big day for Marvel Studios as it marks the official start of 
In addition to a sharper image of what Thanos looks like (the theatrical version was heavy on the shadows,) today the Facebook page for The Avengers has gifted us with the knowledge that the third biggest film of all-time would be returning to theaters for Labor Day Weekend. Why? To see it again of course. Rumors of a re-release were in the works for quite a while with the idea that some of the deleted scenes would show up, but it would certainly appear that the print is the same as always, so why the cockiness with a second release?
