UPDATE: With Bautista clearly interested, we cast the rest of the Gears of War movie! Dave Bautista is pursuing the lead role of Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War movie. The so-called video game curse has resulted in some lacking entries into the genre, but it hasn’t stopped studios from trying to succeed. There’s plenty of future adaptations in the works, including one for The Coalition and Epic Games’ big screen take on Gears of War....

Apparently, Deadpool left a lot of sex scenes on the cutting room floor, and star Morena Baccarin is glad they stayed there. Baccarin, of course, plays Vanessa, an escort Wade (Ryan Reynolds) meets in a bar. The two quickly spark up a relationship, and Wade proposes one year later. In between, their relationship is portrayed through various sex scenes during different holidays: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year, International Women’s Day, Lent, the whole shebang....

Deadpool 2 director David Leitch revealed that he provided facial capture for the computer-generated Juggernaut in the film. This news comes from a featurette on the upcoming home release, “Deadpool’s Lips Are Sealed: Secrets And Easter Eggs.” Juggernaut appears in Deadpool 2 as a secondary villain who leads young Russell Collins (who will grow up to be the mutant hero Firefist) toward a life of crime and mayhem. The closing credits only say that the oversized character was played by “Himself....

The monitor measures a massive 49 inches diagonally, with a resolution to match. The dual QHD monitor offers a resolution of 5120×1440, the equivalent of two 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Displays side-by-side … The single USB-C connection of the Dell UltraSharp 49 will also fully power a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar thanks to 90W power delivery....

DC’s Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has officially wrapped filming, ahead of its release in early 2020. After making the trip to Atlantis for Aquaman and stopping by Philadelphia in Shazam!, the DC Extended Universe is headed back to Gotham. Next year’s girl gang adventure, Birds of Prey, will reportedly take place in a version of the city that’s been missing its Batman since the events of Justice League....

A brand new poster for Deadpool 2 reminds fans that the movie comes from the same studio that killed off Wolverine, one of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes. The original Deadpool proved to be one of the biggest cinematic surprises of 2016 and a post-credits sequence confirmed that a sequel featuring Cable was already in the works. After intense casting speculation, Josh Brolin was cast in the role and Zazie Beetz joined the team as Domino, with most faces from the original movie including Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa also returning for the second installment....

After this year’s Deadpool earned widespread critical praise and $782.6 million at the worldwide box office, it became inevitable that a sequel would be in order. Fox quickly gave Deadpool 2 the green light, and for a while the expectation was that it would reunite the core members of the original’s creative team: Ryan Reynolds, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and director Tim Miller. However, the project recently hit a snag when Miller stepped down due to creative differences (allegedly over the casting of Cable and/or the scope of the film), creating a giant void that needs to be filled....

The story of Deadpool is a true Cinderella story, presuming Cinderella had an extreme healing factor, was pansexual, and had a foul mouth; the handsome prince was a lovely proto-mutant named Vanessa; and the wicked stepmother and stepsisters were cut back to Ajax and Angel Dust due to budgetary constraints. Like many storied productions, though, the first film struggled to find its outlet, as director Tim Miller, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and actor Ryan Reynolds lovingly nurtured the project over the course of a decade....

Ryan Reynolds, star of Deadpool 2, welcomes Josh Brolin as Cable after the casting was announced earlier today. After months of rumors and reported frontrunners, Brolin has officially been cast in the highly coveted role for Deadpool 2. Brolin’s career is long and varied, but this marks his second Marvel Comics character, and he could be playing them both for some time. While Thanos is strictly a voice and mo-cap role for Brolin, the opportunity to land a leading role in another big comic book movie franchise and work with the talented group assembled must have been too big of an opportunity for him to pass up....

When it comes to bringing beloved Marvel comics anti-hero Deadpool to the big screen, a lot can go wrong. Hopes are high that his upcoming solo debut will finally do justice to the Merc with a Mouth, and the marketing blitz for the movie shows that Fox, the studio behind it, has some pretty high hopes for it as well. There has been a seemingly endless parade of TV spots for Deadpool, including the new one above, as well as some an assortment of trailers and marketing stunts....

The Google-owned DeepMind AI program AlphaStar is now better at StarCraft 2 than a mind-blowing 99.8 percent of the game’s human players, making the artificial intelligence Grandmaster level and one of the best StarCraft 2 players in the entire world. DeepMind has famously supplanted the best players in other endeavors as its most sophisticated software, AlphaStar, increasingly becomes more complex and is improved by its creators. AlphaStar was previously tested against human StarCraft 2 players this past January, when DeepMind announced that the AI was able to beat professional StarCraft 2 players ten matches in a row during prerecorded sessions....

David Cronenberg is the absolute master of the yucky when it comes to horror films. From The Fly to Videodrome, his use of body horror is absolutely disgusting in the most fascinating way. His stories are always interesting, working with themes of transformation both of the body and the mind, and occasionally, the spirit. He also makes sure to select kind of off-the-wall stories to adapt, such as his film Naked Lunch, based on an author by the ex-heroin addict and Beatnik luminary William S....

When DC Comics launched their Rebirth line, new status quos and creative teams were brought on board. While the Batman line didn’t really need fixing the way the Superman line did, the changes made have not only been great, they’d also added something to Batman that we didn’t even know we wanted: absolute balls to the wall insanity. From Batman forming a team to fight an army of government-created Batman soldiers, to smiley-faced buttons randomly appearing in bedrock, to breaking into prisons on foreign soil, and trying raise more child soldiers, the Dark Knight hasn’t been this colorful or strange since the ’60s....

It’s Justin Timberlake! It’s Tom Cruise! No, it’s… The Joker? The latest reinvention of Batman’s greatest enemy comes courtesy of Harleen, the newest comic book released as part of DC Black Label, the publisher’s new, ‘prestige’ imprint intended for mature readers. Within its pages, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is having a new origin story told, explaining how she became the infamous Harley Quinn. But one change readers will notice has to do with the Joker–looking more like a heartthrob than a crazed criminal killer....

Prepare to suit up with your favorite DC superheroes, because it looks like work has already begun on Akiva Goldsman’s highly-anticipated Titans TV series. So, can Warner Bros. emulate the success of the Teen Titans comic books and cartoon for a new generation and a whole new platform? Hoping to cash in on the success of the likes of Arrow, The Flash, and Gotham, Titans is the latest DC entity to find a home on the small screen....

As with the first film, Deadpool 2 has already captivated audiences across America with its ridiculously random sense of humor and R-rated shenanigans; the film opened to a massive $350 Million globally and shows little sign of stopping as Solo looks to challenge the film for box office dominance. Although the first Deadpool movie was made on a fairly low budget and sent off to February (not exactly blockbuster season) to sputter out, FOX has learned its lesson - Deadpool 2 is bigger, better, and more action-heavy than the first flick!...

Warning: This post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Deadpool 2! Deadpool 2 co-writer Rhett Reese reveals how the filmmakers fooled audiences regarding the premature deaths of certain X-Force characters in the film. Fans have been waiting with burning anticipation for two years for the release of Deadpool 2, star and co-writer Ryan Reynolds’ follow-up to the R-rated superhero blockbuster that earned a stunning $363 million domestically and $420 million overseas for a whopping worldwide total of $783 million....

Hugh Jackman concludes seventeen years of playing Wolverine on the big screen (starting with Bryan Singer’s X-Men in 200o) with the theatrical release of next month’s buzzed-about X-Men film, Logan. That movie is far from the end for 20th Century Fox’s X-Men cinematic universe, of course. Currently, Fox has three mutant-based films in development, including Josh Boone’s New Mutants comic book adaptation, the next main X-Men film (aka. X-Men: Supernova) and the sequel to last year’s raunchy action/comedy hit Deadpool - all three of which may start filming sometime this year, no less....
