The Avengers Movie Confirmed.....

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Marvel's dream team, The Avengers could finally be hitting theatres soon!! According to sources, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle have both signed on to appear in the next installment of the Iron Man franchise, as well as The Avengers movie coming in 2011. Iron Man director Jon Favreau has also signed on to produce the film.

The Avengers is an all star team that consists of heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and many more. The Avengers constanly changes, so there's no saying who Marvel plans to use for the film. The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier also said that The Hulk will be making an appearance in the film, but did not confirm Edward Norton's participation.

I know for a fact that when this movie comes out, it'll be a monster at the box office. Just to see a movie with such star wattage would already be pretty cool. I mean, who ever thought that we would ever get to see a movie like this? To see all these superheroes in one film is going to be awesome! There are literally no words to decribe it! So to all the comic book fans out there, I say, 2011 is the year to look forward to!

However, I am still a self-proclaimed DC fan, and I urge DC to get up off their asses and do something cuz Marvel is leaving them behind. 

Nuff' said.......

Movie News

Hello thy dear readers! sorry for the long absence and lack of update, but our day jobs have been quite hectic, along with me getting SOOOPER sick outta the blue. Curse you Caesar salad & Sisig! Anyways, onto some news...

What's my movie news without something about my favorite cartoon of all time, The Transformers?! So here we go, first up, seems like Transformers 3, yes "3," has been given a July 1 , 2011 release date! But sorry fanboys, this is no confirmation, no inked actors and writers, and no hint that the 3rd is already in production. Seems like Dreamworks just decided to call DIBS! There are a lot of Superhero movies coming out in the next few years, Thor, Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Spiderman 4 and hopefully a new Batman & Superman, so its also a good move on Dreamworks part to scare those other movies away. Its Transformers! So you better recognize!

Speaking of Spiderman, the 4th installment has also received its release date of May 6, 2011. In an interview with director Sam Raimi, he said that right now, they are in the early stages of working with the writers and trying to work out a story. They are also choosing a villan or villans that Spiderman will battle it out with, which will come from the comic book universe. It was also confirmed that the 5th film is NOT being filmed at the same time as the 4th, like previous reports have indicated. With regards Dunst returning as the character of Mary Jane, Raimi said, "I’m hoping she'll be in it and I'm planning on having a story with her in it... It wouldn't be the Spider-Man series without her." Err... it wouldn't be Spiderman without Toby Maguire you tool! Screw Dusnt, they should actually get a good looking girl!

Lastly, seems like a Johnny Quest movie is going to be in the works. For those who don't know him, shame shame! It is also still in its early stages of writing and it seems like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be starring in it as bodyguard/friend/govt agent Race Bannon opposite Zac Efron as Johnny Quest. Again, its still really early so nothing is even inked. As much as I hate Zac Efron and how gay he is, I can actually picture him playing Johnny. So this for me is pretty interesting... and i've always been a fan of The Rock!

Thats all for now... but here are some of the release dates for the upcoming Marvel movies. Looks like we'll have one every year! SWEET!

Iron Man 2 - May 7, 2010
Thor - June 17, 2011
The First Avenger: Captain America - July 22, 2011
The Avengers - May 4, 2012

Samuel L. Jackson To Play Nick Fury

It was reported a few months ago that Samuel L. Jackson had decided to not play Nick Fury in the upcoming sequel, Iron Man 2, due to some conflict with Marvel Entertainment. Now however, reports are coming in that they have buried the hatchet, and that Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise his role in Iron Man 2, and possibly many more!

According to our sources, Jackson is set to play Fury, the leader of the organization S.H.I.E.L.D., with a long-term deal he had made with Marvel. Hip deal is an option to play the character in nine future Marvel films including, The First Avenger: Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, as well as a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. movie, and its sequels.

Jackson was first introduced as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man 2, when he asks Tony Stark to join the team.

This is definitely a bold move on Jackson's part. I mean, damn, 9 movies?? If all goes well with these upcoming films, Jackson could be playing this character for a really, really, REALLY long time!! I certainly hope he got paid a good sum for this. But, I am happy that Jackson and Marvel have found their common ground. I mean, nobody else could've played this character except for Jackson. I mean, shit, the character is modeled after the actor!! It would've been a crime to cast someone else. I'm curious to see how Nick Fury will add to the story for Iron Man 2. Will we see more Avengers foreshadowing?? Who knows, who knows.....

Joe Johnston To Helm Captain America...

"This Is So Going In My Blog."

Marvel has signed director, Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III) to take on the classic comic book character, Captain America. The film will be titled First Avenger: Captain America, and Kevin Feige is set to produce.

There have been no writers hired yet, but Marvel is hearing pitches as we speak, and should be hiring soon.

Kevin Feige speaks about Johnston saying:

"This is a guy who designed the vehicles for 'Star Wars,' who storyboarded the convoy action sequence for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' " Feige said. "From 'Rocketeer' to 'October Sky' to 'The Wolfman,' you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one."


Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, who is rejected by the army for being too sickly. He undergoes an experiment that leap frogs him to the peak of human potential, he is given an indestructible shield and becomes Captain America, a symbol of war in comic books.

He was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon back in 1941 for Timely Comics.

The First Avenger: Captain America is set to be released on May 6, 2011. The setting of the film will be in World War II, but the character is also set to appear in a modern day setting for The Avengers.

I am definitely looking forward to this film. this is Captain America. The original avenger, and the leader of the pack. It will be interesting to see where Marvel Studios decides to go with this character. I think this film is the perfect set up for Marvel's awaited Avengers.

SB SNEAKS!

Definitely a fresh catch! The Nike SB Lobster Dunk Lows. I know I'm a lil late with these, actually, a lot late, but they really do catch my eye. They were a limited release but you can still cop em from resellers or specialty stores both in the PI and in the States. In one of the most comprehensive packaging executions in recent memory, a large number of relevant accessories were included which worked out perfectly with the Rob Heppler designed Lobster motif. A look here reveals the special box set gifted to the first 50 buyers. Inside you'll find a lobster shell cracker, a fork, a bib, an extra set of butter yellow laces, keychain, wet naps and shirts. With the set instantly sold out, your only option lies through 3rd party mediums.

COP 'EM LOCALLY!

The Lobsters was just 1 pair i wanted to talk about, but mainly to let u sneaker-heads know that there are ways to find rare SB's, or just SB's in general, here in the Philippines. Though i havent heard of anyone who has an official SB account, there are quite a few resellers if you know where to look. And whats good about them is that u can find some which are, like this hopeful magazine, out to just spread the word rather than making a huge profit off the bat. Locally, you can check out our partner site, Filthy Grommet, and message them for some kicks they have at their store. As well as some multiply sites like http://gadgetboyoy.multiply.com, which sells a buncha SB's, (Donatellos, New Castles, Gibsons, Avengers & more) and some can even be ordered if they dont have your size. You can also check out Niketalk under the Philippine regional forum for local Nike Park & Stadium updates, or just contact us and we might be able to hook you guys up!

We'll definitely keep you posted with more kicks! Lets spread the word and the love!

If you guys have any other sources of SB's or any of those kicks that are hard to find in the PI, let us know as well through Comments or in our Discussion Room.
