There's a story, or a rumour depending on how you want to look at it, going the rounds right now that is saying that Stuart Townsend is out of Kenneth Brannagh's Thor. Townsend was meant to play the swashbuckling Fandral who is one of the Warriors Three, a group of Asgardian warriors and friends of the titular hero Thor, but is now supposedly off the movie.

Or: Is it Spelled "Reboot"? I’m Not Really Sure…

As you all have probably heard by now, Sony plans on re-booting its popular Spider-Man movie franchise (and if you haven’t heard, then shame on you). According to the press release, they plan on putting Peter Parker back in high school so he can grapple “with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.” Ugh.

After following the story yesterday from John Malkovich about his proposed role in the new Spiderman 4 film the shit has basically hit the fan today.

I guess it's pretty fitting that a character called the "Vulture" has been somewhat confirmed for an appearance in Sam Raimi's fourth Spider-Man film, as the production is currently experiencing a range of issues that will probably cause it to miss it's original May 5, 2011 release date. I say somewhat confirmed because the confirmation comes through actor John Malkovich on an Italian TV show. Now it's not that I don't trust Malkovich, it's just that as of yet, we haven't heard anything from Sony regarding his comments and we are relying on translations of the interview from the good people at Bad Taste.

Just like World of Goo a few months back, indie gem Crayon Physics Deluxe is going for "name-your-own-price" in honor of its first birthday. That means, you pick how much you want to pay for it. Are you an eccentric billionaire? Pay a million! Cheap bastard? It's totally possible for you to get this game for just a cent. Either way, make up your mind before this Friday, Jan. 15, and pick up a copy of this very awesome indie title.

Everything I've seen of Kick-Ass thus far has impressed me, and the new full-length trailer is no exception. This time, we get a little more on the backstory of the characters and the plot of the film. Laughs and ass-kicking still aplenty though, check out the trailer below:

I need to put this out there, I freakin' love the A-Team theme song. And while it's not completely unexpected, it is nice to hear it in the trailer for the upcoming feature. Overall, it's not a bad looking trailer, if a bit over-the-top. But hey, it's the A-Team, what do you expect? Sharlto Copley of District 9 fame is back as "Howling Mad" Murdock, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson looks almost as cool as Mr. T, Bradley Cooper is a fitting "Faceman", and Liam Neeson is a straight-up badass, as always.

When I first reported the rumoured list of actresses for the Green Lantern I made it quite clear that there was one actress I didn't want to see in the film, Jennifer Garner, and two actresses I did want to see, Dianne Kruger and Eva Green. Well according to Variety Warner Bro.s have gone for none of them.

Normally I would leave this kind of news to someone with a bit more of a grasp on the material, but I figured I'd get this little bit of news out while it was still somewhat hot. According to an article over at Total Film, the upcoming Thor movie has been pushed up to a May 6th, 2011 release date, which was originally intended for Spider-Man 4.

According to some news that's been circulating, NBC is planning on putting Jay Leno back on at 11:35 PM, thus pushing back The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien to an even later time. Apparently, Leno would keep his current 30 minute long show, meaning that Conan would go on around midnight, and poor Jimmy Fallon wouldn't be on until one in the morning

After finally picking up a PlayStation 3, I also decided to pick up the newly released Darksiders from THQ and Vigil. This is a quick run down of my first impression of the game after sitting down with it for roughly 2 hours.

Inception looks awesome, but the fact remains that no one really has the slightest idea what the hell is going on in those teasers. One fan has took it upon himself to make some small sense of the footage we have so far by reordering it, making an effort to connect the rapidly edited scenes. While it doesn't do much in the way of solid plot details, it does give way to some speculation by the author. Video and thoughts below:

Zombieland was one of my favorite movies of 2009, thanks in no small part to the inclusion of two of my favorite things: zombies, and things that make me laugh. X-Men Origins was one of my least favorite films of last year: its humour was unintentional and its zombie shot lasers out of its eyes. In my mind, the latter of these two did not bode well for the announced Deadpool spin-off, with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth. Luckily for us, and the character, it looks like Deadpool is getting a spark of life in Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the screenwriters behind Zombieland.

While the upcoming Clash of the Titans looks pretty slick, especially it's action-packed trailer, its got nothing on the original 1981 film. Stop-motion for the laugh-inducing win. Luckily for us, it looks like we can have it both ways. Youtube user swena0 edited together a mash-up trailer using footage from the original film, put to the soundtrack and editing of the more recent trailer. Check it out below:

Have you ever wondered what Left 4 Dead would look like on the Super Nintendo? Well wonder no more, because game designer Eric Ruth has created a retro remake of Left 4 Dead and it is now available to download for PC via his official site.
