SupaScoot's Rumor Report!!!

Welcome to yet another new feature here on Action News, where I'm gonna field all the crazy rumors we hear in the entertainment world. Rarely do these pan out, but sometimes, just sometimes, we learn a nugget of truth. So let's get started.


This is apparently the all Avengers Edition as we get hit from casting rumors to plot rumors to cameo rumors. That's a lot of rumors.


This one comes from

'AKA Jessica Jones' Coming To TV

So I apologize for the lack of posts, but holidays are over and it's time to get back to work. So I'll start with some old news, but good news.


Not too long ago we told you about Marvel's plan to bring three properties to the small screen, with two of them being rumored to be Cloak & Dagger, and The Incredible Hulk. The third series remained a mystery...until now.

Dramatic.


Anyways,

The Urban 30 Weekly Update!!! Season 4 - Week 13

I'm doing this quickly today because it's Christmas, but I figured what better present on X-Mas than your favorite weekly wrap-up! I'll keep the summaries short, because you really need to read the posts to get the big picture!

What Are Friends For? Brand New Segment!!!

Welcome to a brand new feature here at Action News, and it's all about a simple question really.


What Are Friends For?

Not those 'Friends'...
Well, most of the time what a lot of my friends are good for are sending me funny stuff from the web. Yea sure, they are there when you need something and to always give support, get drunk with, blah blah blah. BORING. So instead of having all this

Jon Favreau Not Directing 'Iron Man 3'

By now I'm sure you've all heard the news that Jon Favreau will NOT be directing Iron Man 3, which surprised most of is in the comic world. After setting up the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) with both of his IM films, most of us expected him to continue with his franchise, but instead he will be directing Disney's Magic Kingdom. 

Splashpage.mtv has the story:

"It's true," he told fans on 

'X-Men: First Class' Set Pics and Synopsis

After the whirlwind of casting news we saw a few months ago, there's been a lot of questions about the Matthew Vaughn helmed X-Men: First Class. Well, recently some set photos came out revealing some possible info about the upcoming prequel(?), I suppose we could call it.


The set photo shows what looks to be a crashed Sr-71 Blackbird, which is the X-Men's jet, natch:

There were a lot more trailers but these were the

Every Zombie Kill From 'The Walking Dead'

Now this is cool, and I actually have Twitter to thank for this little gem of zombie gore. Well, Robert Kirkman's Twitter, that is.


Anyways, over at BuzzFeed they have this montage of head shots and mayhem made by Eric Linn, showcasing "every" zombie kill from AMC's The Walking Dead, and while there may be a couple missing, I don't know, I'm not a doctor, it's still a good watch.

Full 'Batman: Arkham City' Trailer Debuts At The VGA's!

We saw the Batman: Arkham City teaser a couple days ago that featured Batman being a bad ass, and I would say that this trailer really reveals the bad assery of Professor Hugo Strange. And the VGA's had a great set that really added to the effect of the debut. Here's the long awaited trailer:



Boom! And that's not even showing most of the game or some of the characters involved. Filmonic has a

The 'Thor' Trailer Is Here!!!

Wow. I'll just say that first. 


A lot of people have been worried about the Kenneth Branagh helmed Thor for a lot of reasons. The difficulty in bringing the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a big part of this. Since Iron Man was released, it focused on a Marvel world that was tech and science based, and Thor should be anything but, so everyone is wondering how they will be

The Flaming C... AKA Conan O' Brien?

That's right, if you've ever wondered what Conan O'Brien would look like as a superhero, wait no longer. Comics Alliance has the story:

After realizing that his new talk show is produced not just fifty feet away from the legendary Warner Bros. Animation building at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, comedian Conan O'Brien rushed over to discuss comics and animation with Chief Creative

More 'Spider-Man' Casting! And Gwen Stacy Set Photos!

Casting news doesn't end when it comes to the 'Spider-Man' reboot, and this casting seems to lend itself to more possible plot points.


First off, Splashpage.mtv has the casting of Eugene 'Flash' Thompson, Peter Parker's High School bully yet staunch supporter of all things Spidey. Also Peter's eventual best friend, believe it or not. Chris Zylka, best known for his role on, uh, Hannah Montana,

The next big Marvel movie coming out is the Kenneth Branagh helmed Thor starring Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder. We got our first look at some footage at the SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con) along with a trailer and yesterday the poster for the flick was released:

Looks pretty sweet while keeping it basic, much like the first poster for Iron Man.  It really highlights the amazing costume work

Superman XXX: A Porn Parody... What? It's News!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Now you all remember when Batman XXX: A Porn Parody came out last year, and was one of the highest selling adult films... EVER. What do you mean you never heard of it... Stop lying dude, we all know you bought it opening day.


Anyways, the Axel Braun helmed Batman XXX was a colossal hit, and it's no surprise that we have the next installment on the way.

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Teaser Trailer

Michael Bay has released the first teaser for the 3rd movie to feature a ridiculous number of explosions, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Be warned, there isn't a single explosion in the teaser, so I'm a little lost for words:


Now doesn't that almost look like it should have been the trailer for the first movie? And who the hell is this guy? And why does he have a beard?





Now I am not as

Emma Stone Shows Us Her Gwen Stacy!

Emma Stone has revealed her blonde locks on the red carpet, so I guess this is our first look at Gwen Stacy from Marc Webb's Spider-Man:


I dig it, but I love Emma Stone, so I may have some bias on the topic. Stone is a natural blonde, but on screen we are all used to the cherry red she usually goes with. I think she has the Gwen look, just take a look at a pic of Gwen from the comics:

'The Walking Dead' Writing Staff Fired

News broke a bit ago that Frank Darabont, the developer behind AMC's hit The Walking Dead had fired off the entire writing staff, it left a lot of us internet media types puzzled. I mean, the show is a success, breaking ratings records, and was picked up for a second season after the first episode, so why fix what ain't broke?

'Spider-Man' Adds Another Villain And Casts Peter Parker's Parents

The upcoming Spider-Man reboot has added a few more names to it's growing cast list, and they are kind of unexpected castings. The first two are the casting of Peter's parents, Richard and Mary Parker. Campbell Scott and Julianne Nicholson will be portraying Petey's parents, in I'm assuming a flashback or something like that, as yea, they die.

Christopher Nolan Hands Off Superman Reboot

When news broke that Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception) along with his bro Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer (Blade Trinity, The Unborn) were going to be the creative force behind the upcoming Superman reboot, there were a lot of happy fans. His work with the bat-franchise is amazing, and Inception was ground-breaking. Then they found a director in Zach Snyder (300, Watchmen) and the
