WonderCon 2011: All Eyes On Future Superman Henry Cavill At ‘Immortals’ Panel

Henry Cavill At WonderCon 2011

Attention was focused on Henry Cavill during the Immortals panel today at WonderCon 2011 as it's the actor's first major public appearance since being cast as the Man of Steel in the new Superman movie directed by Zack Snyder.

"The new suit is still in development, so I haven't tried it on," Cavill said in response to the first fan question about what he feels like after putting on the Superman costume. He also talked about the training he went through to get in shape for Immortals, which no doubt made him an even more perfect candidate for Superman. "Lots of cardiovascular, lots of mixed martial arts, and eating very little."

The trailer Tarsem Singh's Immortals was debuted. Cavil stars in the film as Theseus, who's chosen by Zeus to protect the homelands from the threat of the titans and save the gods [...]

WonderCon 2011: Alien Revealed In Exclusive Footage at ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Panel

Favreau At WonderCon 2011

Director Jon Favreau refused to be outdone today at WonderCon 2011 by the 10-minute Green Lantern clip, so he played a 9-minute reel that included an exclusive first look at the alien from his new film Cowboys & Aliens.

The alien was shown at the end where a toothy looking creature reared its large ugly head into the opening of a cave where people were presumingly trapped inside. I'd say it looked pretty similar to Aliens, but I didn't get as good of a look as I'd have liked to (side note: thank you person sitting in front of me who had to go to the restroom at the most inopportune time).

The scene started out with Daniel Craig's character Jake Lonergan walking up to a building and inspecting to see if anyone else was inside. He enters and starts dressing a wound just as a gun is pointed at his head from behind by Meacham (played by Clancy Brown). "Two kinds of men get shot: criminals and victims. Well, which one are ya?" Meacham says, which Jake replies with "I don't know." [...]

WonderCon 2011 Video: Ryan Reynolds Talks Green Lantern, Flash & Deadpool Movies

Green Lantern Panel at WonderCon 2011

Star of the upcoming Green Lantern film Ryan Reynolds said he was pretty damn impressed with the footage showed off at this year's WonderCon after being in a skin tight blue suit that didn't breath well in Louisiana. [For details on that footage, read: WonderCon 2011: Ryan Reynolds Shows Off New 'Green Lantern' Footage and Watch Now: 4 Minutes Of New 'Green Lantern' Footage]

It was a fun panel filled with lots of banter between Reynolds and the audience. He joked with the fans about reading Green Lantern comics for inspiration, saying if he hadn't at this point the fans would have run him out of the convention center in an angry mob -- and then seemed disappointed that the crowd was slow to chant the Green Lantern oath with him, stopping midway through to reveal that the "front row just bombed it."

"I was going to come out here and tell everyone I was cast a the lead in a new Flash movie since it's April Fools Day," Reynolds said, adding that he'd likely "be systematically murdered" if he played another super-character. And since he wouldn't be playing Barry Allen, he suggested the role for Bradley Cooper, which got a mixed reaction from the crowd [...]

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Returns At IDW

Posted: 02 Apr 2011 11:55 AM PDT

TMNT IDW Publishing seems to be making a big splash at San Francisco's WonderCon this weekend, and one of their big announcements was that they will be bringing back Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the world of comics this Summer, with an new series of comics and graphic novels based on the original series. The comics series will be just the first part of an on-going plan to return the Turtles to prominence. Nickelodeon actually bought the rights to the Turtles franchise last year for a cool $60 million and there are also plans for a new CGI show to air on Nickelodeon starting in late 2012 [...]

Music Review: Soundgarden – ‘Live On I-5′

Posted: 02 Apr 2011 10:14 AM PDT



Soundgarden
Live on I-5
CD | MP3
A&M Records
U.S. Release date: March 22, 2011
UK Release date: March 21, 2011


Soundgarden is a band almost impossible to neatly define. So diverse is the band's sound that anything they try -- be it punk, grunge, rock, acoustic -- nothing sounds out of place. Like contemporaries Faith No More, they manage to mix all of these influences together while still possessing an identifiable sound. This keeps their audience guessing, not just from album to album, but from each track to the next.

On new live album, Live on I-5, Soundgarden keeps this excitement going. It was recorded at various U.S. and Canadian venues at the tail end of 1996, just a few months before the band's eventual break up. Thanks to this, there is a definite sense of anger within the performances, which added to the band's natural energy and power on stage makes for an intensely frenetic and hugely impressive live album [...]
