Has The Villain Of The Avengers Movie Already Been Revealed?

Sometimes fake spoilers are more fun than real ones — as in the case of a Transformers 2 script treatment that’s probably fake, but hilarious. It can also be fun to watch people speculate wildly, as one insider has about the plot of the Avengers movie. And there’s nothing more fun than a passel of…

Yet Another Tacky Resurrection On Heroes?

Either Michael Bay isn’t doing that great a job of keeping spoiler-loving fans away from the filming of Transformers 2 — or he’s going to extreme lengths to stage fake shooting for the benefit of fans. Read our latest set reports (with pics) and decide for yourself. You can also decide for yourself whether two…

New Heroes Babe Is One of Us

With only three months between us and the start of a new season of Heroes, the hype machine is ratcheting up to try and remind us just why we should care about NBC’s superhuman soap one more time. So far, its phasers are set on “shallow,” and the message is this: “That new nemesis of…

Hair Dye Signifies Time Travel, On Heroes

It’s a video-heavy edition of Morning Spoilers, including an R-rated Wanted trailer (that gives away a big plot twist), a revealing clip from Friday’s Battlestar Galactica, a cute new Hancock clip, and a new Middle Man trailer.

Veronica Mars Reunited With Weevil On Heroes

My favorite character on teen-detective show Veronica Mars was probably Weevil, the biker-gang leader who slowly became Veronica’s most steadfast ally. Yes, he went a little too soft, but he never entirely lost his edge thanks to actor Francis Capra. So I’m excited that he’s cropping up on Heroes as the villain Jesse, who is…

Watch The Hulk Talk And Hancock Drink — A Lot

A random thought: Many narratives are spoiler-proof. You pretty much know the main story beats of any superhero movie before you watch it. All that happens when you read spoilers is that you consume extra bits of the narrative out of sequence (which may make the story actually feel more intriguing, and add an extra…

Green Lantern Movie Will Be Respectful, Secretive

Here’s the good news about the upcoming Green Lantern movie: Co-writer Marc Guggenheim seems very confident that it’ll turn out to be a quality flick that sums up everything great about the character.

Posthumans, Rise Up And Destroy Hollywood!

Why is Hollywood trying to poison everybody against posthumans? Whenever you see someone going beyond standard-issue humanity in movies or TV, it’s portrayed as monstrous and evil.
