Comic Book Films & TV

[GoGo Yubari]

I was just cast in the show.

Ha! Have fun with that, TV ACTOR.

[Your Mom]

I know next to nothing about the characters but just based on the cast I must see this movie. I MUST!

[Ant]

I think we are secretly being filmed right now for it. Like a big budget Truman Show kind of deal.

[Jimmy]

Honestly, it'd make for a really shit film because a lot of it will just be people sitting at computers.

Uuuummmm... I'll have you know that I am currently posting from my tablet while fighting hordes of aliens in a brutal war-like setting.

[Maxx]

Those paint fumes are really doing a number on you.

So that's why Hackers sucked!

[TKz]

Hackers was totally awesome. I don't think you watched the same film as me. Mine had computer science.

[Colly]

Hackers had an early 90s (possibly Hummel) keeper top in it. It was ace.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Don't think it had been posted here yet, so...

Fables is set to be adapted for a movie directed by A Royal Affair director Nikolaj Arcel.

[apsham]

I figured it was only a matter of time until something like that was announced.

Man of Steel is getting really fucking split opinions. Seems like nerds love it, critics don't.

[Benjamin]

It was disappointing. Not terrible, but not up to the high expectations a lot had, I think, like me.

[LL!]

It's a good thing I don't have high expectations.

[Sousa]

It's a good thing I don't have high expectations.

Fucking this. How many times have we gone back to the Superman well to have it only kind of work once?

[livid]

I think I've said a couple times how much I don't like Superman but even I have to admit to being kinda hyped for Man of Steel. It could just be the Nolan connection but their marketing helped a lot too.

There was nothing grammatically incorrect here at all.

And John C. Reilly is... Ronan The Accuser!

Marvel Studios started building their fortune by hiring unknown or otherwise cheap actors like Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. (hey, he was cheap at the time) to headline their franchises. As they move on to Phase Two and build bigger vaults to hold their riches, though, they're apparently more willing than ever to shell out for some big names.

And Guardians of the Galaxy-- an outer-space superhero movie starring a heroic raccoon-- might need the big names to help sell it to audiences who aren't quite ready for the transition. They've already got the likes of Benicio del Toro, Glenn Close and Zoe Saldana on board, and now the role has finally been revealed for one more big name, John C. Reilly. According to Deadline Reilly is playing Ronan "The Accuser" Dey, and I really can't do better to describe him than to lift this information from Wikipedia:

Ronan was born on the planet Hala, the capital of the Kree Empire in the Greater Magellanic Cloud. Ronan is a member of the alien Kree race and a member of the Accuser Corps, who are the Kree equivalent of military governors and jurists. His rise through the ranks was extraordinary, and he eventually became the third-most powerful being in the Kree Empire. The Supreme Intelligence appointed him "Supreme Accuser of the Kree Empire," and in this role he is known simply as "Ronan the Accuser".

No, I don't really know what much of that means either-- seriously, I'm still not quite over the main characters in this movie including a raccoon and a man who looks like a tree. Deadline does note, though, that in some versions of the comics Ronan is the son of Thanos, whom we first met as the purple bad guy at the end of The Avengers. We've been promised that Thanos will be part of the action in Avengers 2, but Thanos's role in Guardians is currently much fuzzier. You can guess that Ronan The Accuser makes a confirmed link… but I think we've all learned from Marvel that the second you assume you know what they're up to, they change it up entirely.

My dislike of Reilly is kind of out weighed by how much I like Ronan The Accuser and how glad I am to see another familiar face cast.

I just hope he's like, 99.9% CGI. >_>

[LL!]

I just wanna slap you very hard at the moment for not recognizing John C. Reilly's greatness.

[TKz]

Well it's his comedy I don't enjoy... and seeing as Ronan is pretty far removed from any kind of comedy at all, it should be great!

But he totally isn't exactly in the sort of shape I'd expect from Ronan The Accuser.
