April 29, 2013
Over the weekend, the White House Correspondents' Dinner took place, and it's always a great spotlight for some satirical comedy. The event is an annual celebration for press who cover the White House and the President of the United States, and there's always some great show business highlights. This time Conan O'Brien served as the chief comedic entertainment, but Steven Spielberg also took the time to unveil his new presidential biopic to follow his Best Picture nominated Lincoln. This time Spielberg has set his sights on Barack Obama, and the transformation of the lead actor playing the president is stunning.

April 5, 2013
Just this past February, we learned that Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger director Renny Harlin was working on Hercules 3D, his own project about the mythological Greek hero set up at Nu Image and Millennium, which will likely end up competing with Brett Ratner's Hercules project starring Dwayne Johnson and currently slated for release in the summer of 2014. Production is supposed to begin this May in Bulgaria, and now Harlin finally has a lead for his film as Heat Vision reports The Twilight Saga star Kellan Lutz will play the title hero in the film that puts a little bit of romance at the heart of the familiar story.

A New Era of Sci-Fi is Upon Us - Looking Ahead to Worlds That Await
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/a-new-era-of-sci-fi-is-upon-us/
March 27, 2013
"Here is your mission: pass your knowledge on to the next, as it was passed on to you." A new era of sci-fi is upon us. In just a few years we'll be watching another trilogy of Star Wars movies, picking up where the original trilogy left off 30 years ago. Star Trek has already been revived on the big screen, coincidentally by the same director set to bring us the next Star Wars - J.J. Abrams. Ever since James Cameron's Avatar raised the bar with another box office record in late 2009-early 2010, science fiction movies have been back with a vengeance. Aside from Star Wars and Star Trek returning, things are getting more exciting every day, with filmmakers like Chris Nolan, Alfonso Cuarón, Ridley Scott and Edgar Wright venturing into sci-fi.
Former Wrestler Dave Bautista is Drax in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/marvel-signs-former-wrestler-dave-bautista-as-drax-in-guardians/
March 14, 2013
Since The Avengers decimated the box office last summer, Marvel Studios has been busy putting together plans for Phase II of their film adaptations. By far the most intriguing title on their upcoming slate is Guardians of the Galaxy, directed by Super and Slither helmer James Gunn, and though that movie is already set for an August 1st, 2014 release date, we haven't heard too many details about it yet. Chris Pratt ("Parks and Recreation, Zero Dark Thirty) landed the lead role of Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), and now THR confirms former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista has made a deal to play Drax the Destroyer. More below!
'Conan' Star Jason Momoa in Talks for Drax in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/conan-star-jason-momoa-in-talks-for-drax-in-guardians-of-the-galaxy/
February 15, 2013
After the unlikely casting of "Parks & Reacreation" and Zero Dark Thirty star Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, aka Star Lord, in Marvel's cosmic superhero ensemble Guardians of the Galaxy, it sounds like the rest of the team is being filled out slowly but surely. Latino Review has word that names like Isiah Mustafa, Dave Bautista, and Brian Patrick were testing for the role of Drax the Destroyer, but it's Conan the Barbarian remake and Bullet to the Head star Jason Momoa who has come out on top with an offer and is currently in talks to take the role. Most fans should be familiar with Momoa after his stint on "Game of Thrones."
David Ayer's WWII Tank Combat Spec Story 'Fury' Lands QED Deal
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/david-ayers-wwii-tank-combat-spec-story-fury-lands-qed-deal/
February 14, 2013
Dang, this sounds cool. Over the years I've been growing to like David Ayer more and more. I hated his first film, Harsh Times, and Street Kings was okay, but I really enjoyed End of Watch last year (enough to even put it in my Top 20). I'm curious to see his new action movie Ten with Arnold (we teased a first look last year) but besides that, his next project after that sounds right down my alley. Deadline is reporting that QED has picked up a WWII tank combat spec script written by Ayer called Fury, and apparently the project has Ayer attached to direct as well. Everything about this sounds badass, I'm already looking forward to it.
'Zero Dark Thirty' Star Chris Pratt Lands 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Lead
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/zero-dark-thirty-star-chris-pratt-lands-guardians-of-the-galaxy-lead/
February 5, 2013
After a search that looked at nearly every male star in Hollywood, Deadline is reporting that Disney and Marvel Studios are making "Parks & Recreation" series regular and Zero Dark Thirty and Moneyball co-star Chris Pratt one of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Pratt will take the lead superhero role of Peter Quill, the astronaut who becomes the guardian known as Star-Lord. Though is recent TV work and appearances in films like Five-Year Engagement don't make him out to be superhero material, Pratt lost weight and toned up for his role in Zero Dark Thirty (he showed off his muscle a bit on Conan), is now a full-fledged hero.
'Die Hard 2' Director Working on Competing 'Hercules 3D' Project Now
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/die-hard-2-director-working-on-competing-hercules-3d-project-now/
February 4, 2013
While Brett Ratner is working on putting together Hercules with Dwayne Johnson for an August 2014 release, it's time for Hollywood to do their usual competing projects rigamarole. Heat Vision has word that Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger director Renny Harlin is working on Hercules 3D, a big budget take on the Greek hero set up at Millennium. Production is slated to begin in May with an eye towards beating Ratner's project at Paramount and MGM to theaters by arriving in March of 2014. Sounds like we're looking at another Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman competition for supremacy in 2014. Read on!
Marvel Plans 'Planet Hulk' Movie & 'World War Hulk' for 'Avengers 3'?
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/marvel-plans-planet-hulk-movie-world-war-hulk-for-avengers-3/
February 3, 2013
After Mark Ruffalo landed with a smash as The Incredible Hulk in The Avengers last summer, fans have been wondering if we'd get another standalone Hulk film with Ruffalo in the lead. However, Marvel has been mum on any official plans. Enter Latino Review, who has been super reliable when it comes to Marvel scoops, and they have word on what will happen with Hulk next. As you might expect, since Phase Two of Marvel's cinematic universe is already planned right up until The Avengers 2, a new Hulk movie wouldn't come until Phase Three and apparently the plan is to use the 2006 story Planet Hulk for the project.
Sam Worthington to Lead 'For the Dogs' Adaptation from Philip Noyce
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/sam-worthington-to-lead-for-the-dogs-adaptation-from-philip-noyce/
January 31, 2013
For a stretch around 2009, it seemed as if every executive in Hollywood suddenly received the same memo: "cast Sam Worthington in any blockbuster you can." But things have quieted down a little for the Aussie actor in recent years, he starred in some lower profile projects like The Debt and Texas Killing Fields, and now Variety reports that he has a new non-franchise film in the works. He'll play the lead role in the indie action thriller For the Dogs, an adaptation of Kevin Wignall's 2007 novel that has Salt director Phillip Noyce set to helm and Rampart writer/director Oren Moverman writing the screenplay. More below!
Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirmed for Role in Gestating 'Terminator 5'
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/arnold-schwarzenegger-confirmed-for-role-in-gestating-terminator-5/
January 22, 2013
News just keeps on flowing when it comes to keeping the Terminator franchise alive. Shortly after David Ellison and Megan Ellison landed the rights to the sci-fi series for their respective Annapurna Pictures and Skydance Productions banners, they hired writers Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier to take on the new sequel. However, because it's so early in development, we have no idea what's going on with a story. At one time Justin Lin was in line to direct with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning, but with this fresh start, we've been wondering if he would come back. Now the man himself gave the official answer to that question.
Galactic Empire Responds to White House Refusal to Build Death Star
http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/galactic-empire-responds-to-white-house-refusal-to-build-death-star/
January 15, 2013
Just yesterday we called attention to the official White House response to a petition for the United States government to begin gathering funding to begin building a Death Star in 2016. This happened after the petition on We the People amassed more than 34,000 signatures, well above the 25,000 required to get an official response from government officials. Reasons for the refusal included the exorbitant cost (estimated to be $850,000,000,000,000,000), the lack of a desire to blow up planets and also the ignorance in building a space station with a flaw that can be exploited by a single-man spacecraft. Now the Galactic Empire has responded to this statement from the government, and they're not surprised at our cowardice.

Watch: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Roasts Cast & Crew of 'This is 40'
http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/watch-triumph-the-insult-comic-dog-roasts-cast-crew-of-this-is-40/
December 17, 2012
For those who don't know, comedian Robert Smigel (the man behind many cartoons from "Saturday Night Live") is the voice of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, the character who skyrocketed to fame thanks to "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." You may not recognize Smigel, but he has had small parts in films like Happy Gilmore and has a bit part as one of Paul Rudd's friends in Judd Apatow's new comedy This is 40. And now, for your enjoyment, we have a video of Smigel roasting the cast and crew of the R-rated film hitting theaters this week, and it couldn't be any funnier. Smigel is great on the spot. Watch the hilarity!
