Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movies Parts 1 & 2 in Theaters
Tonight we all went to go see Puella Magi Madoka Magica Parts 1 & 2 in theaters in Tempe. The viewing was an encore screening of the movie, the first which was held on Janurary 12th, doing so well that the movie sold out! I couldn’t get to go last time, so I made an effort to go this time around and even saw some cosplayers turn out for the movie.

Watching the series again in movie form was a whole lot of fun. It really is a great story and it was great that it did well enough that it got an encore screening. This show wasn’t sold out, but there were still quite a large amount of people who showed up giving support to Madoka.

FMA Movie Poster
Ain’t it Cool News found this neat promo art for the Fullmetal Alchemist movie opening in teaters in Japan on July 2nd, Fullmetal Alchemist: Milos no Sei-Naru Hoshi.
Jill Valentine Cosplay, Resident Evil Movie, and DLC
Today, here’s a Jill Valentine cosplay taken from a Tumblr account (who regrettably since my last HDD faliure I can’t remember from which one exactly). I thought it be a fitting choice considering ealier this week, a new Resident Evil movie was announced for release on September 14, 2012, and just like the last one released (Resident Evil Afterlife) this new one will be in 3D as well.
Also, a new trailer was released for Jill Valentine as DLC for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 earlier yesterday, as well as Shuma-Gorath (better known as big ball of tentacle ownage) but judging from the video, at least Jill doesn’t seem to be as ridiculously broken as her other Resident Evil counterparts
(note: opinions are subject to change after one time of getting my ass thoroughly destroyed by someone who learns to play as Jill Valentine, most likely through online.)
Jill Valentine and Shuma-Gorath will be out next week on March 15 for $7 each except for those who already bought the special edition of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Those who did already received a redemption code for both characters to be unlocked on the day the DLC becomes available.
Devil May Cry About This
Guess who’s next in line for a movie adaptation for a video game! It was announced tonight that the Capcom game, Devil May Cry‘s movie rights has been recently licensed by Screen Gems, and on top of that, they already found a screenwriter in Kyle Ward.
Here’s hoping that the movies are going to be good, but that shouldn’t be too much of a feat to accomplish. For those who can’t remember, Screen Gems are the same ones who took on the job of making the Resident Evil series into movies, and they’ve done a very good job of it (for the most part)
There’s no talk about who would play Dante or how much of the movie will have an original continuity such as the Resident Evil movies did, but since it’s Screen Gems taking the rights, chances are higher than normal, and with a movie based on a video game, it’s good to take every bit of help we can get.
Super Bowl Movie Madness
The Super Bowl was last night and while all of the buzz was either on The Black Eyed Peas (meh at best) performance or Green Bay’s victory over the Steelers (again I say meh, but that’s because I already knew who was going to win due to an advanced computer simulation that was ran nearly a week beforehand) But people are forgetting what 51% percent of the people watch the Super Bowl for, the commercials!
While most of the commercials were good and hilarious, we can’t ignore the public debut (meaning you no longer have to sift through tedious searches on the internet) of both the Thor and Captain America movies. Thor comes out in theaters on May 6th while Captain America: The First Avenger opens on July 22nd. Both trailers lasted about thirty seconds, yet still managed to turn the heads of every person in the room the moment they appeared on the TV screen! The Captain America trailer showed young Steve Rogers (Chris Evans: formerly known as the Human Torch) getting the Super Soldier serum, going from twiggy and meek at around 5’6” to muscular and well over 6′ tall. The Thor trailer had a hammer and lots of lightning and explosions (not that it’s a bad thing, mind you!)
Speaking of explosions, other movie trailers that aired during the Super Bowl were Transformers: Dark of the Moon (showing who was likely Megan Fox’s replacement in the movie), 5Fast 5Furious, Fast Five, the next sequel to The Fast and The Furious, Cowboys & Aliens (more than likely the events that took place after Alien vs Ninja), and the new Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (opening May 20th!)
While I am aware that out of all of these movies the only original idea was Cowboys & Aliens, the two Marvel movies and the new Pirates look really amazing. Follow the links above to see all of the trailers (especially the Pirates trailer. Didn’t think there could ever be a movie with both mermaids AND zombies!)
Ninja vs Aliens!!!
I swear to you I am NOT making this up. Funimation, the company behind the licencing of hundreds of anime in America is releasing it’s latest aquisition, which is not an anime…it’s a live action film about a clan of ninjas fighting an alien.
Apparently this movie has been circling around for quite some time. Alien vs. Ninja was showcased first at the 2010 New York Asian Film Festival and even made its way into some anime and comic conventions, (more than likely to entertain the audience. Not in the usual sense but more like in the Mystery Science Theater sense!) However now the movie is going to come out on DVD on Feburary 22nd for that in home viewing pleasure its fan base so desperately seeks.
I hadn’t seen a movie that looked this ridiculous yet draw my attention since Megashark vs. Giant Octopus. Yeah…you can guess how that went with a name like that. (Hint: I don’t think it’s EVER been outside the bargain bin), but chances are that I will try to get my hands on this movie when it comes out. It’s more than likely going to be like a train wreck, initially it’s something you want to look at, but then you might start to feel bad after you finally do…especially for all of the people who were involved in it.
If you want to see more Alien vs Ninja, the trailer to the movie is available on it’s main site.
Heavy Rain Movie Details
CNN’s pick for Game of the Year, Heavy Rain is officially in the works of getting a movie. The creator of NYPD Blue and Deadwood, David Milch is taking the director’s chair in this endevor, which means that when the movie comes out, there won’t be any skimping of the drama that made the game so well liked amongst it’s fans. There’s still the scary chance that it’ll follow the logistics of video game to movie and it will suck beyond belief, but still…what if it’s good.
The movie is going to be called simply ‘Rain’ and Milch is going to be working with Bob Shaye and Michale Lynne. Kinda makes you wonder who are they going to consider the actors for each character. Will they go for the big names or stick with a lesser known cast so that the viewer won’t be distracted from the story?
The Following Is NOT Going to Happen
This has been a day of news where some clarifications, speculations and rumors have been cleared up. Some may be good news while some may be disappointing
Speculation: Metroid and DOA
One of the latest trailers of Dead or Alive: Dimensions showcased a Metroid level with Ridley flying about in the background. Don’t worry, that part is true, but it was confirmed that Samus will NOT be a playable character. She is still rumored to appear in the game to help the player in the game.
Rumor: There is going to be two more Matrix movies
As of now, this is entirely false. There was a rumor going around that Keanu Reeves spoke at The London School of Performing Arts University revealing that a fourth and fifth Matrix movie was going to be made. However Screenrant.com reported that they heard from the Senior Administrator of the school officially saying that the story is completely false.
Clarification: Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be out this by winter 2011
I posted earlier that a the remaining titles left to come out for Tetsuya Nomura’s Fabula Nova Crystallis will ALL be out by the end of 2011 (in Japan)…well I was wrong. In a recent interview, Nomura said that he and his team’s main focus for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is the quality of the game and to get the desired results that they’re looking for, the game’s release won’t be until after next year. However, the other games in the Fabula Nova Crystallis line up are still scheduled to come out within the 2011 mark. (With Dissidia 012 as the first with a release date of March 22nd in the states)
Some Mag-F@cking-Neto News
More pics from X-Men: First Class have surfaced, now introducing the ‘new’ Magneto. I’m not gonna lie…the helmet looks pretty dumb, but maybe it’s because it just stands out SOOOO much from the uniform that he and every other X-man has to wear. It’s also not even the right colors, comics or movie-wise. But this it all before Xavier and Magneto part ways anyway, so I guess this look does makes sense.
In other news, yesterday morning it was announced who was cast as who in the next sequel of The Goddamned Batman series directed by Christopher Nolan. The Dark Knight Rises is going to have (in case you haven’t heard by some miracle by now) Catwoman and Bane! The roles of Catwoman and Bane will be played by Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy respectively (thank god! Tom Hardy as Catwoman would make this movie unwatchable!)
This…could work…
Maybe this wasn’t the best comparison of Bane to make with the actor cause I’m pretty sure any real person who looks like Arkham Asylum Bane needs SOME sort of medical attention
Either way, while I think that this is a strange combination of villains (if you consider Catwoman to really be a villain…she kinda flips back and forth), I’m overly excited to see how both of will be played out in the movie.
edit: G4TV has more pics up on there website here. One of which includes the young Charles Xavier using his psychic powers very enthusiastically.
Gantz Live Action Movie in America
Tonight in Phoenix, AZ, the live action movie version of the anime and manga Gantz will be playing in two different theaters at 6:00pm. Yes it’s short notice to prepare for this, but I didn’t even find out until minutes ago (unfortunately, I won’t be able to see it since I’m not in Arizona at the moment.) but if you got free time and you’re in the area, it would be an awesome way to spend the evening.
For those of you who don’t know, Gantz is about people who get pulled into a room just moments before their demise in order to participate in a deadly hunt against monsters in order to either obtain their freedom with their lives intact or to die like they were originally supposed to before the game began. The anime came out years ago, but the manga is still in continuation, spanning several volumes.
So again, if you’re in the area, check out the movie. If you like it, buy the dvds too (no chance on seeing this show on tv, waaay too bloody) or check out the manga. It’s definitely an interesting read.
X-men: First Class Pics and Emma Frost Interview
This site really hasn’t been showing it’s comic fans a lot of love lately, so hopefully this will alieviate some of that “where’s the comic book news” (only not really cause it’s about a comic book ‘movie’) IGN recently posted a pic showing the cast of the new X-men movie due out this June, X-men: First Class.
IGN also had held an interview with January Jones who has recently been revealed to be cast as The White Queen, Emma Frost, who along with the rest of the Hellfire Club have been revealed to be the main villains of the movie. Other actors in the movie include Kevin Bacon and James McAvoy.
