While it is no surprise that many movie franchises today are set up in three picture deals (Spider-Man for example), it is interesting the studios would sign a three picture deal on Transformers based on fan love. According to an interview with Shia LaBeouf, who plays Sam Witwicky, the thespian is under contract for Transformers 2 and 3. It’s pretty much a sure bet your audience will follow you to Transformers. Shia LaBeouf: “Yeah. The biggest movie in Hollywood. You don’t get bigger than $250 million robots blowing up the world. I don’t plan on making any other – I…

Many of you weren’t too thrilled when Venom didn’t make an appearance in the Spider-Man 3 trailer I posted last week.

It’s a quiet day in the world of comics. Matthew has posted a review, and I’m working on one now, but other than a few tidbits here and there, the net and the comic companies are pretty much dead.

Variety is reporting that Bryan Singer has inked a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures to produce and direct the sequel to Superman Returns. Even though there is no budget or script, the film should hit the screen in 2009. The deal comes shortly after the announcement that Superman Returns passed the $200 million mark domestically.

Audiences were split on the like it or hate it factor, with many expecting the movie to have more action than it…

Variety has confirmed what we reported on months ago – Terrence Howard will play Tony Stark’s buddy Jim Rhodes in the upcoming Iron Man movie. It’s pretty much accepted that, unless Iron Man turns into a huge bomb in the box office, the franchise and sequel potential is very high. In the comic Jim Rhodes takes over the helm of Iron Man when Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) takes some time off and eventually evolves into the character War Machine. “The suit is purely an innovative creation, so this is Marvel meets Tom Clancy technology,” Marvel Studios production…
