When Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice received a savaging from critics last week, many claimed that director Zack Snyder would be booted off of Justice League, and the DC Universe itself, for good. He’d delivered Warner Bros. a polarizing, divisive comic book movie which split fans, as well as critics, and raised vitriol in the […]
Minor spoilers or whatever. I’ve been really freaking excited for Batman v Superman for a long time. Batman’s inclusion and the rise of the Justice League felt like the natural evolution of the story presented in Man of Steel – he would definitely take notice of Metropolis, and Superman’s arrival could inspire other meta-humans to come […]
At first, those who were super-duper hyped about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were the DC fans, with Marvelites and film lovers generally skeptical because of Man of Steel. People were worried it’d be overstuffed, and that Zack Snyder couldn’t handle it. People questioned DC’s strategy of kicking everything off with one big bonanza […]
Not THAT Flash. The movie one. DC’s upcoming movie slate is quickly gathering talent. Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad have obviously finished filming, Wonder Woman has been assembling a cast and James Wan is confirmed to direct Aquaman. A few months ago The Flash got some writers, too: Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the […]
Nobody seems to be too sure about what’s going on with the Man of Steel sequel. At one point it seemed that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice would be that sequel, however as time goes on it becomes increasingly apparent that it’s something different entirely, leaving the door open for another solo movie. Unfortunately, […]
Uh oh. A week ago today we brought you a rumour that Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, the 2017 sequel to the jaegar/kaiju monster mash movie, was gonna be delayed in filming. At the time I and others figured this was just down to fairly regular blockbuster behind-the-scenes issues; budgeting, tax incentives, finalising the script – all […]
Ah, fan trailers. We’ve covered stuff from the folks at CineMash before (Batman v Superman v… Deadpool) and now they’re back with another fun crossover trailer, once again in the style of the aforementioned movie – just without Deadpool. I’ve never met a single person who dislikes Toy Story. It accomplishes everything it wants to […]
The Hobbit has had a long road to production. Originally it was to be a two-part adaptation from the awesome-as-hell Guillermo del Toro, but after complications with the Tolkein estate and constant delays he left. More delays happened and eventually Peter Jackson (who needs no introduction) stepped in to guide the ship. Great news, right? […]
Don’t worry, you haven’t missed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Man of Steel got a pretty mixed reception from fanboys and fangirls and fans of other sexual orientations (and critics); while the sequel looks fucking awesome, there is that little nagging feeling in the back of my head that it’s gonna be disappointing like […]
Ah, Dungeons and Dragons. Many nerds have fond memories of playing the famous board game in their basements whilst sipping a nice cold glass of milk and sharing a tray of brownies (which doesn’t sound half-bad), prompting the franchise to be associated with the traditional stereotype of nerd-dom, although in recent years that’s been shaken […]
(images via The Playlist) Our brains here at the UTF office are still scattered all over the floor. We can’t even comprehend what we just watched. The Warner Bros. presentation at Comic-Con wrapped up moments ago, where Zack Snyder and the cast of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice took to the stage to screen […]
Comic-Con has been a rollercoaster ride so far. While news hasn’t been as constant as in previous years there has been a lot of awesome stuff coming out of the convention, and if you need to catch-up on that then take a browse through our SDCC tag. What we at UTF have been doing at […]
We’re just under 9 months away from sitting down to watch and likely masturbate over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which means that promotional gear is starting to leak in. Entertainment Weekly has let rip on a massive report for the superhero team-up movie (so much stuff that I will probably have exploded by […]
You’ve probably heard the recent buzz; Chris Pine is supposedly playing Hal Jordan rather than Steve Trevor, and Tyrese Gibson is apparently playing John Stewart in Green Lantern. I couldn’t have been the only one bored stiff by this development, right? It’s no secret that the 2011 movie was f*cking terrible so Warner Bros are […]
There’s been a lot of fanbooys and fangirls out there that have been just worried about how Batman v. Superman might portray new players in the now expanding DC Cinematic Universe. Well one of the film’s iconic villain stands revealed below, so by all means checkout our first look at a bald Jesse Eisenberg. Here’s […]
It would appear that Warner Bros have got their director for the 2017 solo debut of the Amazonian Warrior, but they’re not going to be telling us who it is just yet. It was thought that Punisher: War Zone helmer, Lexi Alexander, was a front runner for the role of director for the Wonder Woman […]
For the millions of fanboys and fangirls that were holding out hope that somehow Grant Gustin would become The Flash for the DC Cinematic Universe it’s over. Because as of today Ezra Miller has been cast in the role. I’m not going to lie this news bummed me out. For one the television iteration is only two episodes […]
Hot on the heels of the Marvel‘s leaked potential plans for Civil War, DC Comics and Warner Bros. have officially announced their movie plans through 2020! We all know that their cinematic universe will not connect with their TV franchises, so the springboard for these narrative stomping grounds is of course Man of Steel (June […]
DC and Warner Bros. aren’t only looking at superheroes to lead their movies. They’re also turning to the criminal underworld for a box office draw. According to Variety, David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch) is being looked at to direct a Suicide Squad movie. It’s unclear how far into the deal Warner Bros is with […]
What do you know? One of the “clever” comments at the end of my articles was actually acknowledged. When news broke that a Supergirl TV series was in the works, I suggested that DC and Warner Bros. shop the show to CBS since they already have shows on the CW, NBC and Fox, and there’s […]
