--- 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).
--- 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).

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.

--- Super Grouper - Of all the things in the world for me not to go nuts about and rush to watch it seems insane that the teaser for The Avengers, which is online now, would fall amongst them. Yet I haven't watched it yet. I am losing my mind! Oh well. I lose a little more every day. Have you watched it yet? or perhaps you saw it attached to Captain America? My screening didn't have it, the bastards. Anyway yadda yadda it is there to view if you're so inclined. io9 also took some screencaps, saving me the effort. Obviously I'm just a big fat ball of sloth today. But look at Hemsworth's bicep there - is he even bigger? He looks enormous, good grief.--- Live Longer Than Prosper - It is straight up ridiculous that they haven't even finished a script for a second Star Trek movie, ain't it? There's taking your time to come up with a good idea and then there's just being lazy. LAZY! I know lazy, after all. AICN has a little word on where things are right now and it's not gonna be until at least Summer of 2013 they're guessing. Quinto needs the work, JJ!
--- Baby Mice - If you've noted the Donnie Darko banner this week with a smile - it brings me one every time I load the page - then you'll want to note this as well - there's gonna be a Richard Kelly blogathon! Hosted by Jaime at Exodus 8:2 it'll go from August 15th through the 21st! I was just thinking about Kelly the other day and wondering when we'd get more news on what he's up to - he's supposedly working on a "more straight-forward" thriller called Corpus Christi (yeah, The Box was supposed to be more straight-forward) but I haven't heard anything for awhile. Anyway there's loads to cull from his filmography for a post for this blogathon so it should be good stuff!--- Call Him Tarry - Terry Gilliam is working on an adaptation of Paul Auster's book Mr. Vertigo
. I have never read this book, but I like to hear that Terry Gilliam is working on something. Maybe he'll even get to turn his ideas into a movie for once! Imagine that.

--- Man On Milo - Via BD comes that delightfully homoerotic shot of Milo Ventimiglia hovering at the backside of another attractive looking dude in Xavier Gens' next horror flick called The Divide. Gens made his name off of Frontier(s), which rode the French horror bloodbath wave a couple years back. Anyway sweat and tank-tops and evil thoughts in close proximity, I'm there..

--- Rah Rah Rosario - There have been several very cool casting announcements (or rumors) coming out today, and this one's arguably the coolest: Rosario Dawson, lady I love and cry about getting no respect every time she shows up in terrible movies which is far too often, has joined the cast of Danny Boyle's new movie Trance. Finally, some respect! A good-to-great filmmaker using her again. Happy news. Also joining the cast is Vincent Cassel, which was rumored already (he's taking the part Michael Fassbender almost took). Trance stars James McAvoy and Cassel as some sort of art thieves, and DH says Rosario's character "has an unusual relationship with both men."--- Stoker Sweetie - Fighting it out with the above news for coolest casting of the day is Jackie Weaver, so incredibly chilling in Animal Kingdom, getting a role in Park Chan-wook's Stoker. This you should recall is his first English-language film and it already stars Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode (his casting news here). Very happy to see Weaver popping up again in something outside of Australia. No word on what her part will be.
--- Honest Pace - And then we hear that Lee Pace is joining the cast of Steven Spielberg's Abe Lincoln bio-pic! Ya know, Pace is tall and skinny enough to have played Abe himself if they were going younger. But no, they had to go with the completely talentless Daniel Day Lewis! Anyway Lee's playing the mayor of New York. And his part will probably be too tiny because Lee Pace is never given big enough parts to satisfy us. (Insert "But Lee could give me his big part to satisfy me anytime" line here)--- He Smash - In an interview at the LAT Marvel president Kevin Feige talks about what the Hulk will be like in Joss Whedon's Avengers movie. Supposedly there will be more of Mark Ruffalo to his face then there was of Eric Bana or Ed Norton in their respective films.
--- Mobbed Mentality - I hope this casting rumor turns out to be only rumor because I don't want my beloved wading into this thick den of Scientologists - Dominic Cooper's rumored to be taking a role in that Gotti bio-pic that Barry levinson's making that's already got John Travolta and Kelly Preston and Al Pacino. Dom would supposedly play Gotti's son, Gotti being played by Travolta. Ugh stay away from Travolta, Dominic! Stay away from all of it! Just the thought of the porcupine hair alone, ugh.--- Got Guts - Universal Studios: Hollywood is building an elaborate Halloween maze based on the Hostel films by Eli Roth for their Fall season. I want to go to this so bad I can taste the blood spurting from my severed tongue.

If you're really really fast (and my crafting of this post might even take too long before it disappears) you can click over here and see a really really terrible quality bootleg version of the teaser trailer for Joss Whedon's Avengers movie before it's inevitably taken down by the studio. (This seems to be the same one we mentioned this morning that'll be playing at the end of Captain America's credits.) You get to see Chris Evans boxing, along with glimpses of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, I think there's a quick second of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, plus Chris Hemsworth as Thor and ScarJo as Black Widow and RDJ as RDJ in a metal suit. Honestly it's hard to tell, the quality is so bad. Still - Thrills! Chills! Spandex!

Via Slash there's the first fuzzy bit of promotional material for Joss Whedon's The Avengers, giving you our first look at the whole gang together.

Because obviously those are the only two options,
and they're entirely mutually exclusive too.

This is a time where it seems fit to invoke that ol' Rosemary's Baby chestnut, "This is no dream - this is really happening!" By this I mean that Joss Whedon's The Avengers is really actually filming right now, which just seems too insane to be true. But it is! And MTV got some info out of Chris Evans behind the scenes of their Movie Awards show the other night. (via)
"It's going great," Evans said of fiilming under Whedon's watchful eye. "It's not an easy task for Joss to incorporate all these characters, and not only is he doing a fantastic job, but everyone is getting along so well. In my experience, when you do a movie with a lot of big stars, it feels like you work and then you go [home]," he explained. "There's a lot of camaraderie. We hang out together, we spend time together."... "We're stuck in Albuquerque, no one is from there, no one knows what to do, so when we're done with work if we have a weekend, we all go get dinner, grab a drink, go to someone's house," he said. "It actually feels like a team," he added, with a knowing smile.... we've had a couple [group] scenes," Evans revealed. "I've obviously been excited about being Captain America, but . . . when we did 'Captain America,' you're the only superhero on set. [With] 'The Avengers,' there were a couple days where I came to set and you see Hemsworth — who is a superhero — and . . . you see Downey with the ['Iron Man'] suit, and it's the first time I geeked out a bit."
So we know that somewhere in Albuquerque Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner are hanging out together getting drunk, and yet we all haven't stampeded the town? We're slipping.
