John Singleton Speaks On N.W.A. Film!

A few years back it was announced that Ice Cube was set to produce a film based on his days with the "Worlds Most Dangerous Group", N.W.A. Writers Andrea Berloff, S. Leigh Savidge, Alan Wenkus, and Matt Alvarez have all been involved with the screenplay but other than that news has been quiet on the project, that is until now. In an interview with The Playlist while promoting Abduction, John Singleton has said that he has been approached by Ice Cube to direct.
"I can't talk about it too prematurely about the stuff I'm doing because nothing has come to fruition yet, but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story. The script is really, really good and so we're just figuring it out. New Line really wants to make it".
The project is also said to have the blessing of Eazy E's widow, Tomica Wright. She is also a producer on the project alongside Ice Cube. At this point I can't think of a better director for this film. Not just because of his past experience with "hood" movies but his friendship and long standing working relationship with Ice Cube make him the perfect candidate. What do you kids think?

Mattel Cancels 2012 Ghostbusters Subscription Plan




Mattel announced the following news in regards to their 2012 Ghostbusters subscription service today:

You know how much love the Matty team has for Ghostbusters, and although we were ready to support a subscription in 2012, sales were lower than we expected. We regret to announce that we have to cancel the 2012 Club Ecto-1 subscription. All 2012 orders will be promptly refunded. If you purchased a 2012 subscription, you should see the refund in your account within 5-7 business days of your refund being processed, depending on your bank.

Please know that the Ghostbusters line isn't over! To do right by all Ghostbusters fans, we're still moving forward with the previously announced figures for 2012 (Ready to Believe You Peter with Taxi Cab Ghost, The Rookie, Dana as Zuul) and a fourth figure in the fall, to be announced. These figures will be available at our regular monthly sales. Like our other lines, costs have risen since the brand was launched and the price of the 6" figures will increase to $22 each.



Now on to brighter news. In celebration of the boo bustin' boys' favorite time of the year, we're going to re-release some of your favorite figures during a special Ghostbusters Halloween sale. The sale will run from 10/17 through 10/31, and it's the perfect time to fill in any missing characters in your collection and stock up on favorites. But wait… yes, there's more!

--Matty

Liam Hemsworth Joins The Expendables!

Variety is reporting that Liam Hemsworth is the latest addition to the cast of The Expendables 2. No word on his role, or whether he will be a member of the The Expendables but he joins a cast that already includes Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Chuck Norris, and Jean Claude Van Damme. Hemsworth will next be seen in the highly anticiapated Hunger Games out March 2012. The Expendables 2 will start shooting next month in Bulgaria and is scheduled to be released August 17 2012. What do you kids think? Honestly, if they are trying to go a little younger with the casting they should have went with their rumored first choice, Taylor Lautner. He seems like a better fit for an action flick than Liam Hemsworth.

Walking Dead Season 2 Teaser is here!


Season 2 coming in October 16, 2011!What do you kids think?Let us know in the usual spot!!.....

Chris Evans on Possible Captain America 2 villain & more

In a recent interview with The Moviefone Blog Captain America star, Chris Evans, gave his opinion on Captain America 2's possible villain, MODOK.
'Captain America' screenwriter Christopher Markus is now saying he wants Peter Dinklage to play MODOK as the villain in the sequel. What's your opinion of that?
[Makes a face] I mean... Ugh... I don't know. I don't know. It sounds like... heh. Heh. I don't know. I don't know. The comic book world is so dangerous, you know what I mean? You say one thing and people -- they're ravenous -- they are very opinionated fans. But they're great fans. I mean, they're the reason we make these movies. I don't know. I get asked a lot of questions about Cap' sequels and villains and I just try to stay out of it.
If he's the writer of the movie, I guess he does not have the power to just do that if he wants?
Well, he has to run everything by Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel. And Kevin Feige is a huge comic book fan, so Feige is going to say, "Here are the things we want to touch upon. These are the relationships we want to build on, this is the villain. Like, Kevin Feige will give you the chess pieces and you have to kind of put them in place, you know what I mean?
So what do you guys think? Does MODOK still have a shot at appearing on film or is there no way that the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing will appear?

Batman: Arkham City: Series 1 Action Figures

Welcome to Arkham City, the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters, and insane criminal masterminds.

Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, it’s filled with the most murderous villains from DC Comics’ Batman universe. But Batman is ready to tackle it with all-new gadgets and his greatest—and most dangerous—allies. Which is good, because he’ll need all the help he can get for his journey into the darkest corners of Gotham.

Among those he’ll encounter:

Tim Drake battles crime as Robin, delivering punches (and signature quips) to aid in the Caped Crusader’s mission to shut down Arkham City.

In a nice new outfit, Harley Quinn has taken to the front lines to personally fulfill the Joker’s sickest wishes of mischief and mayhem. She’s not going to let anyone get in her way—least of all Batman.

Based on the upcoming blockbuster video game published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, developed by Rocksteady Studios, and licensed by DC Entertainment.

Batman - 6.75” h
Harley Quinn - 6.25” h
Robin - 6.5” h

DC Universe Goes Free-To-Play

The rumors regarding DC Universe Online going free-to-play were in fact true. According to kotaku, as of October 1st, there will be no subscription fee necessary to play DC Universe Online for PC and PlayStation 3 gamers. Those who paid for lifetime subscriptions or continue to pay the $14.99 a month will receive legendary status, giving them more than 15 character slots, a much larger wallet, and free access to premium content including downloadable content as it inevitably comes. If you have subscribed in the past or spent at least $5 in game, you will be granted premium status giving a few more character slots, higher inventory availability, and larger wallet, as well. The free status level will receive current updates, allowed 2 character slots, and have the option to upgrade their access through micro-transactions. Many believe the "free-to-play" status marks the death of an MMO, but Sony has stated that this was just a business move and us, as gamers, along with Sony will see the benefits of free-to-play gaming.

Television Series Based On Source Code In The Works!

According to the Hollywood Reporter it looks like CBS has hired Mark Gordon and LOST writer Steve Maeda to adapt a television series based on Duncan Jones' Source Code. For those of you that have not seen Source Code it followed a military soldier played by Jake Gyllenhaal who through the help of a top secret program could relive eight minutes of the recent past through another person's body in hopes that he can find details to prevent a future tragedy. Unfortunately it looks like the show will progress without the involvement of director Duncan Jones. Via his Twitter feed he has said "For those asking, I know not a sausage about the Source Code TV show. First time I heard about it was about 20 minutes ago....on Twitter" Good thing is the 'Source" material lends itself well to a television drama. Bad thing is without Duncan Jones' involvement not sure I'm interested. What do you kids think?

Jason Statham Not Interested In Any "Fairy-Like" Superhero Roles!

He's been linked to roles in both , but the British actor has now made it clear that a tights and cape just aren't for him. In an interview with The Guardian, Jason clearly distanced himself from any superhero roles, despite being rumored to be in the upcoming Daredevil reboot and a fourth Transformers movie. It seems he's happy with the likes of The Expendables and Killer Elite.
"Me in a cape? I don’t fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don’t think that’s right for me. I just respond more to true stories, that’s my flavor. […] I dunno. Luckily, I get to play some good bits that make people think I’m tough. Who knows! Ha ha ha! I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like."

Elodie Yung Up For Jinx in G.I. Joe 2?

Casting continues on Paramount Pictures' untitled G.I. Joe sequel. Following a report earlier this week that Dwayne Johnson is likely to join the cast comes, via The Hollywood Reporter, word that Elodie Yung is likely as well.

Yung, a French actress best known for her role in District 13: Ultimatum, would play Jinx, a ninja that joins the Joes. The actress will also soon appear in David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

The entire cast of the original 2009 G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra is not slated to return, but Channing Tatum is expected to return as Duke, as is Ray Park in the role of Snake Eyes.

Though the specifics may differ in the film version, details of Jinx can be found on her original action figure file card, pictured below (courtesy of YoJoe.com).
