Watch THE AVENGERS Super Bowl TV Spot Tease; Plus Joss Whedon and Samuel L. Jackson Answer Fan Questions

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 31st, 2012 at 11:58 am

As Marvel is all about social media, the studio assembled a few of the creatives involved in the upcoming superhero pic The Avengers to answer some fan questions on Twitter today. Taking part in the discussion were director Joss Whedon and stars Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, and Clark Gregg. Appropriately, Jackson kicked off the Q&A by tweeting a picture of himself flipping off the camera. The quartet talked a bit about the film (Whedon denied those ridiculous Spider-Man cameo rumors), and Marvel released a preview of the TV spot for the film that will play during the Super Bowl. The TV spot preview is pretty damn epic, and gives us a fantastic look at Hulk. I have a feeling that this is going to be the Super Bowl movie preview that everyone will be talking about. Furthermore, Marvel announced today that not only will The Avengers be released in 3D this May, but they’re also re-mastering the film for IMAX screens. So if you’re looking for a ridiculously immersive experience, check out your favorite superheroes in IMAX 3D.

Hit the jump for some of the highlights from the Twitter Q&A, and to check out the Super Bowl preview. The Avengers opens in IMAX 3D, 3D, and regular ol’ 2D on May 4th.

It’s an Avengers extravaganza! Hit the jump for more, including confirmation of at 30-second TV spot for the film during the Super Bowl.

Joss Whedon Wraps Shooting on Secret Adaptation of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING [Updated]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 24th, 2011 at 7:48 am

For Joss Whedon, it looks like there’s always time for Shakespeare.  One would think that work on The Avengers would consume almost all of the writer-director’s schedule, but apparently he’s been able to squeeze in the mysterious project Much Ado about Nothing.  Since the website says “Based on a Play”, presumably it means the one by William Shakespeare.  Shakespeare’s romantic-comedy centers around two couples: the lively and interesting Beatrice and Benedict, and the mopey and less-interesting Claudio and Hero.  Both couples a betrayed by the villainous Don John, but love wins out in the end and both couples end up getting married.  Despite the lack of supernatural or sci-fi elements, it’s a story that fits nicely into Whedon’s wheelhouse of characters.

Nathan Fillion revealed the project by tweeting a link to the website, and plenty of the usual Whedon suspects have been rounded up for the cast. In addition to Fillion, there’s Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Tom Lenk, Ashley Johnson, Fran Kranz, Reed Diamond, Riki Lindhome, Sean Maher, plus recent collaborator Clark Gregg along with a bunch of new faces.  If you’re wondering how a project like this flies under the radar until now, it’s probably because it was a low-budget affair that Whedon cranked out over the course of a few weekends.  The photo above is from the website, but we don’t know if it’s an image from the movie, referencing from the movie, or if it’s just how Bellwether Pictures like to congratulate its productions.  I’m eager to find out Whedon’s take on the material and how he plans to distribute the picture. [Update: A full press release has appeared on the website, revealing more details about the project including who's playing what role. Hit the jump to read.]

Watch “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer” from CAPTAIN AMERICA Blu-ray/DVD

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: October 16th, 2011 at 7:39 am

Captain America: The First Avenger will be released on DVD/Blu-ray on October 25, featuring the Marvel One-Shot “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer.” You don’t have to wait until then to see “Funny Thing,” though, since Marvel released it early online. The first One-Shot we saw, “The Consultant,” intends to connect The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers. The new One-Shot is meant to bridge Iron Man 2 and Thor. The slickly directed short follows Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) as he stops at a convenience store for some donuts, when two armed men burst in and try to rob the place. See how the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent takes care of the situation after the jump.

New Footage from THE AVENGERS to Be Shown at New York Comic-Con

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 4th, 2011 at 1:35 pm

Are you attending this year’s New York Comic-Con?  Were you planning on going to the presentation for The Avengers?  If so, then everything’s gonna be fine.  Marvel has announced they’ll be showing never-before-seen footage from the movie at NYCC’s IGN Theater on October 15th from 6:30 – 7:30pm.  The panel for the event will feature producer Kevin Feige, and stars Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, and Cobie Smulders.  I expect everyone who is attending the presentation to studiously take notes and tweet your every thought.  I also expect we’re going to get a teaser trailer for the film within a month, but that’s brazen speculation on my part.  Brazen, I tell you.

Hit the jump for the press release.  The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

First Look at Marvel’s Short A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THOR’S HAMMER

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: September 13th, 2011 at 12:25 pm

The Blu-ray release of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger is on the way, and included on the disc is another Marvel short film that fills the gaps between features. The first one we saw was The Consultant, which attempted to tie together the events of The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers with the use of Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson. This new short, called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer bridges Iron Man 2 and Thor. It again stars Clark Gregg, and today we’ve got a sneak peek at the short. It looks to be a bit better than The Consultant (which isn’t saying much), and Gregg instantly ups the watchability of anything he’s in.

Hit the jump to watch the sneak peek. Captain America: The First Avenger is set to be released on Blu-ray and DVD on October 25th.

THE AVENGERS “Sneak Peek” and Marvel One-Shot: “The Consultant” from the Upcoming THOR Blu-ray

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 31st, 2011 at 12:34 pm

As review copies of the upcoming Thor Blu-ray are going out, it’s not surprising that some of the disc’s noteworthy extras are being posted online.  First up, there’s the “Road to The Avengers“, a sneak peek which is almost entirely worthless.  There’s no footage from the movie, and it’s mostly a puff piece where talking heads celebrate the scope of the picture and how great it is to work with everyone.  The only moment of any value is when director Joss Whedon says that the idea that fuels the film is this group of superheroes becoming a team and “finding what they didn’t have before.”  The other special feature is a short film, “Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant”.  If you ever wanted to see the mundane behind-the-scenes activities of S.H.I.E.L.D., you’ll love this short, which feels like a fan film except they got Clark Gregg to star in it.

Hit the jump to check out the videos.  Thor hits DVD, Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray on September 13th.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

Clark Gregg Talks THE AVENGERS, Comic-Con, an Agent Coulson Spinoff Movie, and His Next Directorial Project TRUST ME

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 17th, 2011 at 6:00 pm

The other day I did a set visit on writer/director Maggie Carey’s The To Do List (formerly titled The Hand Job).  The film stars Aubrey Plaza as a sexually inexperienced teenager with a type-A personality who decides to engage in numerous sex acts before she goes to college.  The film’s loaded with an amazing cast and sometime down the road, you can expect my set report and on set interviews.  It’s definitely a film that should be on your radar.

Anyway, one of the people we spoke to on set was Clark Gregg.  While we’re embargoed from reporting what he said about The To Do List, they were fine with us running what he said about his other projects.  So after the jump you can read his quotes on how The Avengers has been going, a possible Agent Coulson spinoff movie, Trust Me (his next directing gig which starts shooting this October), Comic-Con, and Tom Hiddleston’s (Loki) favorite Albuquerque restaurant…

Clark Gregg and Rachel Bilson Join Amazing Cast of THE TO DO LIST

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 5th, 2011 at 11:50 am

The raunchy comedy The To Do List (formerly titled The Hand Job) already has an outstanding cast and now has added two more great names to the list.  The Playlist reports that Clark Gregg and Rachel Bilson have signed on to the flick which stars Aubrey Plaza as a sexually inexperienced teenager with a type-A personality who decides to engage in numerous sex acts before she goes to college.  Allow me to blow your mind with a rundown of who else is in this film: Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Scott Porter, D.C. Pierson and Dominic Dierkes.  The Playlist speculates that Gregg will play the conservative father of Plaza’s character and Bilson will play her older sister.

Written and directed by Maggie Carey, filming is likely to get underway soon before the majority of the cast has to return to their various TV shows.

MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 17th, 2011 at 8:39 am

Your kids are probably going to love Mr. Popper’s Penguins.  I saw it an audience filled with kids and their parents, and the kids laughed throughout.  They laughed when the penguins farted.  They laughed when the penguins pooped.  They laughed when the penguins fell down.  They laughed when Jim Carrey made a funny face.  The movie easily walks beneath the low bar set by what passes for family films and if you want to keep your kids amused for two hours and can’t find a shiny object, then Mr. Popper’s Penguins fits the bill.  There’s nothing I can say against this film that makes it any less of a joy to kids who ask nothing more than funny faces, fart jokes, and slapstick.  Instead, I’m fascinated by the film’s unsettling subtext..

With Thor finally arriving in America next weekend (it’s already playing around the world), Paramount/Marvel have released the EPK and included are four clips and ten minutes of behind the scenes footage.  While the clips have all been previously released, this is the first time we have all four in one place.  In addition, if you’re curious what it’s really like on a movie set, the behind the scenes footage is great to watch.  However, if you are trying to avoid spoilers, you might want to check it out after you’ve seen the movie.
