May 6th will be here before we know it, but until then we’ll have new trailers like this andmovie toys to keep us busy. I may or may not show up to a midnight screening here in Indy sporting a helmet and foam hammer. Only time will tell.
The trailer has some new bits involving Frost Giants and a little more screen time for Loki. In related news, MTV sat down with Thor director Kenneth Branagh and he revealed some details on the Frost Giants and the Destroyer, the metal monster that’s seen reeking havoc in the trailers.
“The story involves a clash with an ice planet and the frost giants who live therein. They — as might be suggested by the name — are enormous creatures of incredible power who have been robbed of their power and glory by Odin, Thor’s father,” he continued. “What fuels a lot of this intense battle is revenge. This is an angry race, trying to get back at Thor and the Asgardians, the self-proclaimed guardians of the universe.”
It’s official, the Spider-Man reboot is going to be called The Amazing Spider-Man. Marvel announced the title along with a brand new image of the costume, this time complete with the mask. I think it looks great, and I hope the film can match the lighting and mood these photos have had. This costume and the thought of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker is making me very excited to see what this movie has to offer.
Heads up users, it looks like Tron Legacy and Tron (now dubbed ‘The Original Classic’) are both headed to Blu-ray on April 5th. It looks like you’ll be able to pick up a few different versions, including a crazy-expensive collectors edition with five discs. Actually, six if you count the replica of an identity disc that comes bundled.
Say what you will about Tron Legacy, but it was visually stunning and will look great in HD. We’ll find out on April 5th how the original Tron looks.
As anticipated, if a little late, today Fox released the first trailer for X-Men: First Class. This X-Men prequel is helmed by Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn and stars James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, and a whole bunch of people I’ve never heard of playing characters I’m not familiar with. We’ll be back with reactions later.
Thanks to today’s sporting event we’ve got another quick (but awesome) look at Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming Thor film. Along with Captain America, this is a movie I can’t wait to see.
It’s short but there are quite a few new scenes, including glimpses of Asgard, buff Chris Hemsworth, and some kind of creature about to get it’s face hammered.
