revealing the ship itself. Coming out this December the film will follow the young Pevensies and Prince Caspian on a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world. Last week the new casting mystery started when Zachary Levi said how he would like to be a new Superman, but new rumors coming from Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures say that the producers of the new "Superman" movie are actually going for someone a bit more older. Apparently the studios are seriously considering Jon
Hamm from "Mad Men" as the possible actor for the role of Clark Kent and Superman. Beside Levi and Hamm, another candidate for the role is hunky Joe Manganiello from "True Blood". "FirstShowing" has revealed some rumors about Guillermo del Toro possibly directing
the adaptation of famous "Paradise Lost" by Milton. The whole buzz begun when Legendary Pictures started giving away shirts depicting their new projects and their respective directors during the ComicCon. Beside a shirt with "Xerxes" and the name of Zack Snyder all over it, there were also shirts with the artwork of a conquistador called El Guerrero and del Toro's name on the back. A brand new mystery for us :)
The dragon looks like a ride we have at 6-Flags.
ReplyDeleteoh, Avalon, and I almost thought you came to comment on the Superman news :))))
ReplyDeleteOne of the most boring posters for one of the longest titles film I've ever seen :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully they have a good film here, coz if not then this will be the last we see of the Narnia series for a long time.
I totally agree with everything you've just said here Jaccsy ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I do hope the Narnia films sell well enough to keep going.
ReplyDeleteoh man! my kids and i love narnia! the books are amazing!
ReplyDeletei liked that other guy.. the levi one for superman... he seems funnier. i think the superheros would be better if they had more humor... seriously, they're guys in spandex- they shouldn't take themselves so seriously! *last two spiderman movies- whiny, boring, self-indulgent superhero- blech!*
we shall have to wait and see when it comes out this December.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your ingenious thought that superheroes shouldn't take themselves too seriously since they wear spandex :))))))) I also didn't like SPIDERMAN 2.
Hamm could work if we are taking Superman in a different direction, older reflecting on his life choices. He has the appeal and he can do funny! It would be nice to see the lines blurred of a hero, especially Superman. I mean he isn't from this planet, let's see more undertones of this.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I'm a big Superman fan, Batman's the way to go. But if they are going for older, it might be the same sort of thing as they did with the new Batman's. That would be worth watching. Thanks for the updates Dez.

I like the idea of an older side of Superman. I didn't see the latest version of this series, but either of these guys would be refreshing. Maybe a darker movie...I'd like that.

Gothic Lit today at SouthernCityMysteries
My, del Toro is busy!
ReplyDeleteThe Dawn Treader is exactly as I pictured it, too. Hope they do this one right. Be a shame if the remaining four books never become movies.
It'll be weird seeing those Narnia kids so grown up!
ReplyDeleteI love del Toro...
@Ellie
ReplyDeletehe could be like Gerge Clooney or Michael Keaton while playing Batman
@Bryan
oh, I hope no other super hero will ever be similar to Nollan's Batmans, because I really can't stand his movies (don't ask why, it's just my thing)
@Michelle
a refreshing we do need!
@Alex
ReplyDeleteoh, yes, I almost forgot you're a fan of Narnia :)
@Lydia
they're not that grown up, at least not from what we've seen in the teaser trailer.
Either Jon or Joe would make a snazzy superman. They're good actors not to mention handsome. Although it would be strange seeing Don Draper as Clark Kent...
ReplyDeleteyep, they've certainly got the looks for it ;)
ReplyDeletei love the art for el guerrero. narnia is cool too.
ReplyDeletewhat's up, sir? how you doing?
Despite the movie poster I'm looking forward to seeing the new narnia :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the new superman

DEZMOND - I loved the Narnia book when I was younger - couldn't get enough of them. Of course the movies haven't been the same - my kids have enjoyed them though.
ReplyDeleteAnd holy hotness. Is that body for real? Are ya kidding me? Wow, excuse me for the drool (of course I'm still speaking about the Narnia poster LOL). =D
I would love to see Jon Hamm as the new Superman/Clark Kent!
ReplyDeleteStill disappointed they are recasting Superman... and what's a Narnia poster without Prince Caspian on it???? FRONT AND CENTER PLEASE...
ReplyDelete@Ed
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, dear Ed. Oh, don't ask, I'm swamped with work this August and I'm not sure I'll survive it without physical and mental consequences :)) How about you?
@Lynda
hey, Lynda welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY ;)
@Shells
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, I get what you mean, it's a really amazing trunk with curves in just the right parts .... :)))))) (of course, I'm also speaking about the Narnia poster LOL) ;p
@Kristin
