Anne Hathaway Catwoman

Doesn't that look so much better than anything you've seen advertising-wise for the new Planet of the Apes movie? I swear, why won't studios let me run them, I'd make them so much money.

Anyway whoops forgot to mention earlier this week that I'm off today through Tuesday! I know you guys need a lot of preparation to deal with my absence - medication, over-sized sunglasses, and what some might call excessive foot bathing is involved - so I apologize for springing this on you so suddenly. Send me the medical bills, I promise to make myself a nest out of them totally care.

Alright smartassery aside I do have something for you - my weekly write-up of the weekend's new movie releases is up at Celebrity Beehive. There's nothing out this weekend that I much want to see (although I could probably be dragged to Rise of the Planet of the Apes for the air-conditioning) - we're just holding our breath for next Friday when Final Destination 5 comes out. HELL YES. Y'all have a nice weekend! I'll be back Wednesday.

This has already sped around the internet fasting than a hopped-up bullet but I was busy laughing at Alyssa Milano so I missed it until now, but here be Henry Cavill in his Supes costume!

(via) Click to embiggen. If I were going to complain - who, me? - I'd say that costume appears to be way too padded and those don't appear to be Henry's real muscles there at all. The thought did flit through my head while watching Sucker Punch that hmm, Zach Snyder sure does like to stylize his images, and that means Cavill's gonna look pretty touched-up to the point where it's not gonna feel like we're seeing him in spandex at all, so sad face to that. 

But! I like Zach Snyder's style, as I've pointed out and felt shamed over time and again, so I am torn. I think if I weren't wanting to stare at Henry's ass so badly I would like the look of this. But... ass...

--- Lots of Superman news this week - Henry Cavill sported the Supes curl in public which got all the fan-boys wet (I was too busy staring at the way he fills out those trousers and getting correspondingly wet from that to notice his hair), he talked about his crazy training regime and trying on the super suit for the first time, and Laurence Fishburne got the role of Perry White (great choice).

--- Good to see Natasha Lyonne getting some work, we liked her back in the day, and this is some good work at that (we assume, sight obviously unseen) - she's gotten a gig in that dark comedy of Kristen Wiig's called Imogene that we've been hearing so much about lately.

--- Lost Hitchcock movie The White Shadow has been found! Or at least half of it has. Plus Hitch didn't actually so much direct the movie as he did a bunch of important creative tasks in the making of it. But still! Some cool pics from it can be seen over here.

--- End Of Times - Stake Land, a movie I liked, is out on DVD this week and Twitch caught up with its director Jim Mickle to find out his favorite pieces of apocalyptic fiction and it's a fun list.

--- And speaking of apocalypses, and when aren't we, ow weird is it that the problem that's now holding up George Miller's 4th Mad Max film - the one that supposed to stuff Tom Hardy into those snug leather pants - is there's been too much rain in the area of Australia where they were set to film and it's not apocalyptic enough to shoot in now? Cursed by foliage! George Miller can't catch a break.

--- And in sexy apocalypse news, big bad Benjamin Walker, who I haven't seen in anything yet but am still sort of infatuated with, is playing the archangel Michael in Alex Proyas' movie Paradise Lost, which already has Bradley Cooper playing Lucifer. Ben's got the baby-face and godly bod of every dream archangel.

--- Apparently Margaret - the second film by Kenneth Lonergan after You Can Count On Me that's been sitting on a shelf for what, six years now? - is getting released in September. It supposedly has a brilliant performance from Mark Ruffalo, but got all tangled up in legal crap (plus the studio wanted a shorter cut and Lonergan refused).

--- I'm not really sure I have it in me to watch a show from Ryan Murphy at this point. Nip/Tuck became nigh unwatchable after a couple seasons and y'all know my feelings towards Glee, not to mention the man himself has proven himself completely and totally insufferable in the press. I guess we'll always have Popular. Anyway his next show is a horror show so maybe I can be brought around. It's called American Horror Story (Really? Blah.) and it stars Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton (I know people love her from Friday Night Lights but as I've never gotten around to that show she's left me relatively unimpressed so far) but most awesomely Jessica Lange as the neighbor, presumably spooky. I dunno. BD has a teaser and some pictures. McDermott still looks pretty good (although he'll always be the crappy husband from Steel Magnolias to me).

--- Did anybody else see the trailer for Battleship in theaters this past weekend - two minutes of Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard looking hot in naval uniforms amidst some really blatant Transformers ripping-off (Really, Peter Berg? Michael Bay's who you wanna rip off?) - and experience what I did when the title came up, which was an entire audience of people bursting into laughter? I wonder if the folks at Universal did, since news is they're scrapping their plans for several of their long-planned board-game movie adaptations like Clue and Monopoly.

I think I end up doing something akin to this every year - scanning through EW's galleries of celebrities at Comic Con and posting my favorites, that is. This year though, man it seems like I've snatched up a lot. Have I just gotten geekier? Am I reaching Total Geek Capacity??? Oh noes! Meh, mostly it just seems there were more hot guys standing around then usual is all I think this means. Speaking of, look at what I did! I crammed a bunch of hot guys all next to each other in one epic picture! (Click to embiggen)

L-R: Chris Carmack, Chris Zylka, Dustin Milligan and Sinqua Walls from Shark Night 3D; Chevy Chase and Joel McHale, Community; Max Minghella, Joel Kinnaman and Emile Hirsch from The Darkest Hour; Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Covert Affairs; Noted Homosexual Luke Evans, Henry Cavill, Kellan Lutz and Stephen Dorff from Immortals.

Ha ha Emile Hirsch looks so tiny next to Chris Hemsworth,
it is ridiculous. Yadda yadda, here's a bunch more.

In my continuing quest to bring you ever single picture that's released of Henry Cavill & Co. in Tarsem's Immortals until it's released in November, there is a new picture of Henry Cavill in Tarsem's Immortals. (via)

I know you'll all stand alongside me in hoping one of the following two things with regards to that picture:

1) This is the beginning of a very long scene and his soldier friends are taking that armor off of him, or...

2) This is the end of a very long scene and they are putting the armor back on him.

Either way is fine with me. It just needs to involve Cavill, his two friends, and at some point the  very long absence of all that armor.

Filmofilia's got a gallery of hi-res pictures from Tarsem's Immortals up, so I went and snatched the ones from it that matter. You can't really get hi-res enough until our faces are actually buried in the folds of Henry Cavill's skirt though. Almost there! Point being, you'll want to click on these. They're big.

... that's as rich with vivid gigantic imagery as Tarsem's Immortals is promising to be, it's a terrific idea to release your second trailer in the form of a You-Tube-quality low-fi affair, no?

ETA And while I'm at it, it being just posting trailers, here's the first teaser trailer for Pixar's next, called Brave, which out next Summer. It's about a girl! Imagine that.
