VIDEO: “Man of Steel” Taking A Page Out Of Christopher Nolan’s Book With New Superman Film
With inevitable plans to re-launch Batman in a new franchise over the next several years, following the critically acclaimed and fan-adored three films from Christopher Nolan’s own Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. has begun plotting its future moves with the other DC properties they desire to get on big screens – sooner rather than later. It is known that Warner Bros., is beginning to plant seeds, the first of which may be in 2013’s Man of Steel, for their own future superhero team-up movie Justice League, which includes the characters of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and more, following the immense success of Marvel’s The Avenger earlier this summer. Snyder, who directed 300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and Sucker Punch certainly has the visual flair to pull off a spectacle like Man of Steel, but with the godfather himself, Christopher Nolan, producing this new interpretation of Superman, fans are sure to get something they never expected. Check out the film’s first teaser below to get an idea of what exactly may be in store when next summer rolls around: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jKWJZsjm5U&w=560&h=315] Henry Cavill plays Superman in director Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel.” The film also stars Amy Adams as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Laurence Fishburne as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Diane Lane and Kevin Costner. Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Michael Shannon, and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue. Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Ayelet Zurer, and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Russell Crowe. Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S. military man, General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy. Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14, 2013

We, as the movie-going public, are officially 11 days away from having our beloved Batman trilogy come to a close under director Christopher Nolan. Since we’ve been covering the film’s visual treats for the past several months, it is only right that, with less than two weeks until we get to witness “the legend end” in glorious IMAX (the best way to see this movie), we make sure you have a brand-new 13-minute featurette on your radar. The purpose of the exclusive behind-the-scenes look is to catch fans up on what they will be getting when The Dark Knight Rises hits movie screens worldwide, and an inside look at how exactly the film was made. Be warned that 95 percent of what is included in the video below has been seen before through various teasers, trailers, and TV spots. However, there are a few new shots and some footage that hasn’t been officially released, so if you’d prefer to stay totally devoid of anything The Dark Knight Rises until you see the film, don’t watch the video. We are given a good deal of information on the characters of The Dark Knight Rises, their motives, and where they fit into Nolan’s vision of Batman, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the director and his crew shooting several scenes and exploring how a number of the effects, gadgets, and vehicles were created.

“The Avengers” Crosses $1 Billion At Global Box Office; Development On “The Avengers 2” Begins
After 10 days of release, Marvel and Disney’s The Avengers has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box-office, a feat that is certain to be added to the long list of records the film has broken since last week’s massive $200+ million dollar opening weekend. If you’re one of the eight people left in the world who has yet to see The Avengers, do yourself a favor and get to a theater near you as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed and, in fact, will be treated to one of the most entertaining, enjoyable, and all-around bad-*ss films ever put on screen. If you really need more than the notion of seeing your favorite superheroes team up to take down a global threat on an epic scale unlike many other summer “blockbusters,” check out “AllHipHop.com’s 10 Reasons to See The Avengers.” The Avengers second-weekend U.S. haul of $103.2 million has helped place the film at #11 on the “All-Time Worldwide Grosses List,” behind films like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Avatar, Titanic and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Analysts expect the film’s worldwide total to increase exponentially over the next month or two, suggesting that The Avengers could end up in at least the top 5 when all is said and done In related news, THR has reported that Disney CEO Robert Iger announced during a recent conference call with analysts that development has begun on the highly-anticipated follow-up to what should surely will become this summer’s biggest movie. Before fans and the general movie-going audience gets to feast their eyes on The Avengers 2, though, Marvel will be releasing Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 next year, as well as Captain America 2 and a currently unrevealed new Marvel film in 2014. In other words, don’t expect The Avengers 2 to melt your brain until 2015 at the earliest. And now, for the question on most people’s minds: how will The Dark Knight Rises fare come July 20?

“The Dark Knight Rises” Wants You to Forget All About “The Avengers” With Its New Trailer
With less than 72 hours until the rest of the world gets to feast their eyes on The Avengers, which we’ll be having a great review piece on in the coming days, the good folks over at Warner Bros. decided to unveil the new trailer for their summer tentpole and fitting conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Although the trailer was meant to be seen in front of theater prints of The Avengers, a very brilliant viral marketing campaign has allowed fans to unlock the trailer early so we could all see it just a few days earlier than expected. The official plot in short, which takes place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight is as follows: “When Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) stumbles upon a plot to destroy the city from within, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) gets back into action as the Batman. Waiting for him is the mysterious Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) and Bane (Tom Hardy), a lethal adversary on a crusade to tear apart Batman’s legacy piece by piece.” Check out the brand new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises below: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8evyE9TuYk&w=560&h=315] The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20.
