Moretz: Carrie Remake Has a Black Swan Quality To It

by ShockTillYouDrop

June 15, 2012

Chloe Moretz spoke to Vanity Fair about her upcoming turn in Carrie, a remake being directed by Kimberly Peirce.

“I am changing everything about me - my hair, my look,” the actress told the magazine. “I’m doing my own take on [the character]. The script is totally different from the [original]. It’s more like the book. It’s a more Black Swan version - it messes with your mind. You’ll see things, and you don’t know if you’ve seen them.”

Moretz stars in the redo of the Stephen King novel alongside Julianne Moore, Gabriella Wilde, Alex Russell, Ansel Elgort, Portia Doubleday and Judy Greer.

Disney Gearing Up for Marvel Attractions at Disneyland

by SuperHeroHype

June 15, 2012

It's not that often that we get to talk about something like a theme park here at SuperHeroHype, but now we actually have some exciting news about it that is relevant.

In an interview with Reuters, Chairman of Disney's Parks and Resorts division Tom Saggs had this to offer: "We were hard at work on attractions using Marvel characters previously, and that work has only intensified given (the film's) great success. The setting has to be right, the story has to be right. That takes a fair amount of time."

He also said they'd like to expand the use of Marvel characters into the resorts of the parks as well as Disney's other attractions around the globe.

They're currently prohibited from doing anything with the characters at their Orlando parks though due to a licensing agreement with Universal Studios.

WB Announces Free-to-Play Batman Game The Fire Rises

by SuperHeroHype

June 15, 2012

WB has just announced a new free-to-play browser based real time strategy game set within Gotham City called "The Fire Rises." Wikia.com had the details and as you can see, it sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Setting the stage for the much anticipated The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Brothers is drumming up excitement with this game tie-in that lets players rob Gotham City blind during Bane’s powerful uprising.
 
The Fire Rises casts players as henchmen, out to get their own piece of Gotham’s pie. With lackeys of their own, players secure territory, spawn various crew members to take out a relentless stream of deadly security officers, and loot valuable gear from nearby buildings, all before Gotham PD shows up in full force and puts an end to your crime spree.
 
WB takes a surprisingly core-gamer approach to the browser game. Maximizing your looting sprees takes not just a good strategy, but a quick mind. Various crew members, from loot-happy Thugs to demolition-packing Saboteurs, offer different benefits and drawbacks.
 
To pull off big heists, you will have to mix-and-match your squads, spawn them from sewer covers quickly and efficiently, and arrange them around the battlefield in just the right way to buy your looters valuable time. Steal enough goods and you will unlock more crew members, including Catwoman herself.
 
Your success also grows your criminal headquarters located under Gotham. You’ll be able to compete with your friends via Facebook to see who has more influence over the beautifully rendered city.You’ll also be able to see your friends’ headquarters and flaunt your looting prowess. The game currently features three levels, with more to come when The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th.
 
The free game is set to be released June 19th.

Total Recall star Colin Farrell is in negotiations to join Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in the John Lee Hancock-directed Saving Mr. Banks.

The script is said to shift back and forth between 1961 and 1907 and covers Travers' childhood in rural Queensland and her experience negotiating with Walt Disney (Hanks) and his team for the film. Farrell will play her father, the inspiration for the Mr. Banks character.

Disney is looking to start filming this fall in Los Angeles.
