The Wolverines That Weren’t – And Accents That Were

By this point, the idea of anyone other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine seems like box office suicide, but he wasn’t the first choice to play X-Men’s breakout star. Learn about the also-rans and almost-weres. Unsurprisingly, casting Wolverine in the original X-Men movie wasn’t a smooth process; the character’s unusual attributes in the comics –…

What X-Men Will Be Hitting Theaters Next?

Apparently, not who you might be expecting… https://gizmodo.com/wolverines-box-office-slashes-expectations-5237136 Wolverine may be packed with fanservice introductions of many familiar faces, whether or not they make sense for the plot (Emma…

New G.I. Joe Trailer Looks Like a Bizarro Iron Man Flick

While we should all be insulted that the new G.I. Joe movie wants us take Marlon Wayans semi-seriously, I can’t hate all the Iron Man-like exoskeleton action going on in this new French trailer. io9 has the full video posted on their site, which has some pretty cool imaginings of future military tech going on.…

The Art Of Crash Landing On a Terminator’s Head

In the book The Art of Terminator Salvation, fans can find hundreds of examples of concept art, storyboards and illustrations from the film. As you can see, one series illustrates, literally, how to pin a terminator down using a helicopter. Thanks to this storyboard, John Connor was able to pull the feat off in the…

The Circle of Life: Blockbuster Drop Box Oven Bakes Delicious Cakes

I know this is how I’d like my dead body to be repurposed: To make delicious cakes. But I’m not a giant metal box, like Blockbuster’s Quik Drop boxes. https://gizmodo.com/blockbuster-is-on-its-deathbed-5201935 It’s simple and ingenious: A coal pit rests at the bottom, with the cakes and pans resting on fridge trays inside.

The Terminator Motorcycle Could Have Been Even Worse

I have mixed feelings about the motorcycle terminators seen in Terminator Salvation. But if this concept art shows us anything, the bikes could be even less lovable. Here’s the final version for comparison: As you’ll see, the design is a bit more alien-organic, with terminators more alluded to through part design than outright placed, doggy-style,…

Russian Nazi Zombies Hate Bootlegs, Love Bathroom Sex

The Russians have crafted a tribute to the Norwegian Nazi Zombie movie Død Snø (Dead Snow) that illustrates what happens when you pirate movies in Russia, and it involves some slightly NSFW undead Third-Reich action.

Can Rodriguez Revitalize The Predator Franchise Without Going AVP?

We’ve been very uneasy about Robert Rodriguez‘s Predator reboot for some time now. Now that the director has spilled a few ideas for his space-set action movie, we’re even more concerned… but excited nonetheless. https://gizmodo.com/robert-rodriguez-spearheads-predator-reboot-but-can-it-5142141 In an interview with Ain’t It Cool News, Rodriguez discussed his plans for the dreadlocked beasties.

Wolverine Eternal

Wolverine will outlive us all, and I don’t mean that just because he’s fictional; the character has been shown to die, multiple times, and always comes back to life, and many stories have been written about a future Wolverine who’s outlived all his friends and still keeps going (Onesuch is still ongoing; Mark Millar and…

The Best There Is At What He Does… Which Is What, Exactly?

Wolverine is just like any other classic Marvel character – His name explains what his powers are. Just as Spider-Man has spider-powers, Iceman has ice powers and Iron Man has iron powers, so Wolverine has special wolverine-based powers. But considering that no-one (including his Marvel creators) is really that familiar with a wolverine’s abilities, I…

A Brief History Of Wolverine

The possibility of doing a “brief” history of Wolverine gets more and more remote the longer he’s around. Not because each year brings all new adventures for the character – that, you’d expect – but because more and more details keep being “revealed” about his past, and with each new detail, comes new levels of…

The Secret Origin Of Wolverine

Which sounds more ridiculous? Wolverine being a mutated wolverine, or the result of a bizarre experiment to create a character who would convince Canadian kids that Marvel Comics cared about them? The first almost happened, and the second…? Well, that’s how Wolverine really came about. Despite being best-known as a member of the always-uncanny X-Men,…

All In The Family

For a man who sees himself as such a loner, Wolverine has gathered quite a family around him since his creation, in both literal and metaphorical terms (The price of being such a successful franchise, I suppose). Meet his kids – well, the ones we know about, at least. X-23 In what still counts as…

When Attacked By Bioweapons, Remember to Take Off Your Shirt [NSFW]

Like many B-movies, Organizm has the astonishing ability to make random scenes of nudity pop up even during monster attacks. Plus, why is our hero coating our heroine’s naked body in his own blood?
