Deadpool Leaked Comic-Con Trailer - NSFW

I can't tell you how excited I am to have a Deadpool movie...let alone a Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds playing the crazy merc! He isn't as well known as the other Marvel superheroes, but he has a HUGE cult following with comic book readers. He is hilarious, a complete BA and he often breaks the fourth wall in the comics (meaning he talks to the reader of the comic book...think Wayne in Wayne's World throughout the movie). Because of these things, I think his popularity will explode with the release of this movie and will hopefully be added into the Avengers movies in some way.

This footage was leaked from Comic-Con, they haven't released the trailer to the public and you will see why while you are watching...Let's just say the movie is Rated R, they are taking advantage of that with this movie (they need to with Deadpool), and they haven't approved the trailer for all audiences yet. :) Check it out:

(AWWW - They have pulled the leaked footage...I'll try to find it again for you guys)

 

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Teaser Trailer

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 teaser trailer debuted at Comic-Con this year. It is a quick, one minute clip of some of District 13's military members getting ready for war against the capital. At the end, we get a very brief view of Katniss Everdeen - the Mockingjay. It is a teaser, so I'm leaving my expectations behind until the first full trailer is released...but each of these movies has progressively gotten better since the first installment of the series. My wife and I were those snobby book readers who complained about the emotion-less version of The Hunger Games, but they have done well in representing Catching Fire and the first part of Mockingjay.

Check the teaser here:

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Comic-Con Reel

They didn't give us any new film footage from Episode VII - The Force Awakens at Comic-Con, but they did show us a behind the scenes reel of production for it. I must say, I almost enjoyed this more than the traditional trailer! What do you think?



I almost got teary-eyed when Han Solo and Leia sit down in the cock-pit of the Millennium Falcon. Like, no joke. Also, hearing Mark Hamill talk about keeping one foot in the past but mixing some current technology was incredible news. I love that they are using physical locations, set pieces and animatronics as much as they can, over CGI. Kudos to J.J. Abrams for trying to carry over the feeling from the original trilogy, let's hope he succeeds! I have faith!

Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con Trailer

The more footage I see of this movie the more I'm getting OK with Ben Affleck as Batman. I will miss Christian Bale terribly, but I feel like this is an older Bruce Wayne, maybe even a post-Batman Bruce Wayne? Hoping this taps into the greatness of the The Dark Knight Returns comics from Frank Miller. Watch and find some clues on why Batman is so mad at Superman in this movie:




I'm excited that the DC Universe is getting shown on the big screen. I think comic book nerds are going to be spoiled for several years as Marvel and DC duke it out to make the best comic book movies of our generation. I, for one, am super excited about that!

BTW - Batman > Superman ;)

Suicide Squad Comic-Con Trailer Released

That's right! You no longer have to try and watch the leaked footage from Comic-Con, they have released the trailer for all of our viewing pleasure! This definitely is looking better than I was expecting, and it makes it even more important now that we know it is in the same universe as the other DC movies. Check it:




I REALLY hope that Jared Leto pulls of a solid Joker. I think this will make or break not only this movie, but the entire DC Universe franchise going forward. He is THE single most compelling super-villian in comic books and if DC is wanting to go toe-to-toe with Marvel at the box office, Jared has got to nail this part. Ben Affleck has pressure too, but he is an established actor...a lot is riding on Leto.

New Photo of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds' dream to play Deadpool is coming true.

Deadpool is a character that casual Marvel fans may not know much about. Ryan Reynolds definitely knows about him though, as he has been pulling to play the foul-mouth mercenary for the past decade.

Not much else is known about this movie, other than it is going to be (hopefully) coming out in 2016. Will he play into the Marvel universe at all? Gosh, I hope so. Adding him into the Avengers movies or future Spider-man movies would be killer!

Regardless, this will be on many people's radars and hopefully with Ryan Reynolds heading up the movie, it will draw more than the comic book nerds who know who the anti-hero is. His costume is definitely legit!

New Batman vs. Superman Images!

Brand new images of characters in the new Batman vs. Superman movie have been released. It isn't just Ben Affleck as Batman or Henry Cavill's Superman, this includes the first look as Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther...and he's got a lot of hair.

This seems to really be the start of the DC Universe taking off, and honestly, it is looking pretty solid! Well, except the Suicide Squad movie...I'm still not sure what to think about that. But, the concept of Batman vs. Superman seems to be making sense, to me anyway, especially if they end it with the origin of the Justice League.

Robo-Batman says GRRRRR.

Who ya gonna call? Oh...wait...

Potential love interest? Maybe, that's Gal Gadot as Diana Prince (Wonder Woman).

Lex Luthor, young and with hair!

Very strange group of people wanting to touch Superman.

Zack Snyder with Mr. Affleck.

Gal Gadot looking nice as WW, Affleck looking a bit...large?

Episode 4 - Jurassic World

One of the most amazing scenes in the movie.

Jurassic Park was such a precious movie to me when I was a kid. I remember being terrified but full of wonder the first time I sat through it. Instantly, I knew it was going to be something special and it was, it really was. The sequels never hit the level that the original did...but now, I can say, 12 years after the first iconic T-Rex scene, they came pretty close with Jurassic World. At least for parts of the movie.

I found myself in awe during a handful of scenes. I also found myself shaking my head a bit on others. But all in all, this movie was wondrous - just as the first. What did the rest of the AfterHours crew think of the movie? Join me, Ian and McQ as we talk about several aspects of the film, and compare it to some interesting things. We'd definitely recommend going to see this movie during the long 4th of July weekend!
