Apparently the discussion surrounding the hackability (for lack of a better word) of the Harvey Dent campaign website we posted earlier this week has been proven hackable and it looks like the Joker is behind it all. Take a peek at www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com/ and see what that clown prince of crime has done to the site. OR if you are daring enough, enter your email address and the code to have the image strip away pixel by pixel to reveal a shocking surprise. Or you could just take the jump and see the results for yourself. (Personally, I’d take the jump…

Here’s your uh-oh alert for today! The Hollywood Reporter is reporting Frank Miller is in negotiations with Samuel L. Jackson to play the role of the Octopus, the Spirit’s nemesis who wants to take over Central City (not to be confused with that other Central City). Miller said during an introduction of the project at the Festival de Cannes that Jackson is his first choice to play the evil genius who knows the secrets behind the Spirit. He added that he is beginning to mull different actors to play the comic book hero. Hmmm… While I like Samuel L. as…
There have been a myriad of rumors and confirmed rumors of celebrities being cast for upcoming comic related movies. Which are true and which are false? Thomas Jane said in an interview with Ain’t It Cool News that he’s dropped out of the sequel to The Punisher, while David Boreanaz is reported to have auditioned for Namor in Marvel’s Sub-Mariner movie. The Punisher sequel is said to be pretty dark and gritty, which could be a good thing compared to how “tame”*snicker*the first movie was. As far as Angel cast as Namor? I think he’s just a bit bulky for…
Lionsgate has picked up the distribution rights to the live action adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit movie, written by Frank Miller. “Will was a dear friend, a mentor, and translating his vision to the screen will be a labor of love,” Miller said.”The Spirit” will be produced by Pritzker and Del Prete, along with Lionsgate’s Mike Paseornek and Batfilm’s Michael Uslan. Benjamin Melniker will exec produce with Steve Maier, and Linda McDonough and F.J. DeSanto are co-producers. As great as Frank Miller is, this film will be his first solo directing gig. He’s only co-directed one other film -…
Like his previous appearances, Stan Lee will once again make a brief cameo appearance in the upcoming Iron Man movie. In an interview with IGN, Stan Lee said, “That’s the best of all! I’m with three blondes and Tony Stark mistakes me for Hugh Hefner. I won’t tell you the rest, but it’s very funny.” via IGN
Variety is reporting Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are teaming up to bring Tintin to the big screen. Speculation on the success of the first film is so high, DreamWorks, Spielberg, and Jackson will be directing and producing three back to back features. Spielberg and Jackson will each direct one of the movies, but no word on who the third director would be. Could it be long time Spielberg friend George Lucas? With WETA Digital behind the character creations, these films will be 3D animated features instead of trying to cast actors in the roles. Jackson said WETA will stay…
Warner Bros. has posted the teaser page for the Dark Knight movie scheduled to be in theatres July 18, 2008. I’m both excited and nervous about this follow up film as it could really rock or it could really suck. We have just over a year to find out. We’ll keep checking the site for any and all updates. via The Dark Knight
You’ve probably already seen these, but I’m posting if for you anyway. Michael Bay has posted high resolution images of some of your favorite Transformers over at his blog site in an attempt to get you to forget about the Spider-Man movie and get fired up about this big budget production with robots. Robots! I still don’t like Megatron, but Optimus Prime is looking pretty sharp, and unlike Spider-Man 3 (which I still haven’t seen), I’ll be there on opening day to see if Bay succeeds or fails with this pic. Take the jump for the large Megatron image and…
The Hulk casting continues with outlets reporting Tim Roth has been signed to play Emil Blonsky – aka Abomination. Blonsky is a KGB agent who deliberately exposes himself to the gamma rays that caused Bruce Banner to morph into the Hulk. Blonsky has upped the dosage, making him larger and stronger than the Hulk, but unable to change back to human form. He blames Banner for his problem, and makes his best efforts to destroy the Hulk. Roth joins Liv Tyler who will play Betty Ross, and Ed Norton playing Bruce Banner. via Variety

Marvel has posted the high resolution images of the Iron Man Mark I and III suits, as well as a rather buff looking Robert Downey Jr. working on his metal creations. If a dirty gritty Stark isn’t your cup of tea, then check out the dashing version of the man from Superhero Hype.
Saturday was a busy weekend for comic fans. First it was Free Comic Book Day, then there was that whole Planet ComiCon dealie, but the big event had to be the Extra Life Nerdtacular Spider-Man III event sponsored in part by Major Spoilers. Scott Johnson (above center) rented out some theatre space with over 90 fans showing up for this free showing. There he tossed out free comic books, T-shirts, and other spidey related freebies. You can listen to a very exhausted Scott and wife discuss the event here. I will have other updates on the site, including video of…
It only took three days for Spider-Man III to make $148 million in North America, beating the previous record of $135 million set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Does this mean a Spider-Man 4 is just around the corner? Calling the results “spectacular,” [Amy Pascal, co-chairman Sony Pictures Entertainment] said the studio already was at work on the now inevitable “Spider-Man 4.” “We’re a lot further on than we usually are,” she said. “We usually don’t talk about the next movie until the current one is released, but we’re already talking about what we want to do…
