10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies
8 November 2009 4:59 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Trailer is Here!
2 November 2009 4:36 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Finally! Our first real look at Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has arrived in the form of this HD trailer courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes. Based on the popular video game series which made it big with the release of Sands of Time back in 2003 and its pair of sequels the following two years, the video game adaptation is hoped to help bring a change to a movie genre that has traditionally suffered from low quality movies based on known video game franchises.
Prince of Persia stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan (unnamed in the video game) as he tries save the world using the an ancient time-manipulating weapon and the help of a foe/love-interest.
Check out the action-packed and visually appealing trailer after the jump.
For those unfamiliar with the story of the movie, here’s the synopsis:

Only One Villian in Spider-Man 4: The Lizard?
28 October 2009 11:45 AM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
There’s a rumor floating around that Spider-Man 4 is not only being shot in stereoscopic 3-D, but there will only be one villain: The Lizard. This would bring the franchise back to the style of first and second installments where Spider-Man fought a single foe.
I urge you to take this info with a Texas-sized grain of salt because the site reporting the rumor is none other than MarketSaw, the outlet who spread the hoax about a new and 3-D Star Wars trilogy. Of course that one came up false when logic prevailed.
The Spidey series has been setting up the Lizard character since Spider-Man 2 by introducing Dylan Baker as Dr. Connors, the human scientist who transforms into the reptilian beast in the comics. Baker has confirmed he’ll be back for Spider-Man 4, but didn’t reveal what capacity.

Spider-Man 4 Villain The Lizard?
27 October 2009 7:59 PM, PDT | www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news »
When we were going through the possible villains to be seen in Spider-Man 3, one always brought up was The Lizard. Spider-Man 2 prepped the idea by making sure we got to see Dylan Baker as Dr. Conners; and his arm was missing. But the final decision came to Sandman and Venom. Two choices that I loved, but didn't play out that well in the end.
So now we're up to Spider-Man 4, and the number one villain choice once again has become The Lizard.
Spider-Man 4 Villain Choice: The Lizard
The good people at MarketSaw have received a tip that The Lizard will be the one and only villain to be seen in the next Spidy installment. I, for one, can't help but agree with the site with its claim that the franchise has fared much better with a single villain rather than getting tied up in too many weak storylines. »
DVD producer gets his Crave on
27 October 2009 12:49 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika has started filming his first feature film where he gets to call the shots. The Alien Quadrilogy, Spider-Man 2, Blade Runner, 4-disc Kingdom of Heaven set and special edition Gladiator mastermind wowed cinephiles with the depth of special features and content on these five DVD sets and many others; now we get to see what his idea of a film is like when the thriller Crave gets released in the next year or two.
Written by de Lauzirika and Robert Lawson, the film is about a photographer (Josh Lawson) who has strange visions. The second sight causes him to lose his girl (Emma Lung, The Boys Are Back) and also be followed by a detective (Ron Perlman, Hellboy). Filming just got underway in Detroit last Friday.
Crave is an indie and doesn't have any studio behind it yet. »

Josh Lawson, Ron Perlman, and Emma Lung to Star in Charles de Lauzirika’s Feature Debut Crave
26 October 2009 10:09 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Ron Perlman (”Hellboy”), Josh Lawson (”$quid: The Movie”), and Emma Lung (”The Boys Are Back”) have all signed on to Charles de Lauzirkia’s indie thriller, “Crave”. According to THR, the story “centers on a troubled photographer (Lawson) whose dangerous visions wreak havoc when his romance with a young woman (Lung) ends and he is pursued by a world-weary detective (Perlman).” I love the “troubled photographer” character because I always like to imagine him down at Sears about to take a family’s Christmas photo and suddenly he screams, “The demons are coming to rape us all!” And isn’t that really what Christmas is all about?
This is de Lauzirkia’s feature debut which he also co-wrote the script with Robert Lawton (”Sex & Sushi”). If you don’t know who de Lauzirika is, take a look at the DVDs and Blu-rays on your shelf. You see the ones with the greatest extra content? »

Dylan Baker Signs on for Spider-Man 4
23 October 2009 7:19 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
We may have just taken a step forward in finding out who’ll be Spidey’s nemesis in the upcoming Spider-Man 4.
During a question and answer session following a screening of Trick ‘r Treat, Dylan Baker announced that he had received a call regarding Spider-Man 4 earlier in the day, and that he had agreed to join the film.
Baker appeared in both Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, playing the minor role of Empire State University’s Dr. Curt Connors. This is the role Baker will reprising in the fourth film, although fans of the Spider-Man franchise have to wonder how large the role of Dr. Connors will be.
During the Q&A, Baker said that he’d mostly be remaining in the background for Spider-Man 4, but given certain variables I have to question whether Baker is just trying to throw us off track.

Dr. Curt Connors Confirmed For Spider-Man 4
23 October 2009 4:21 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Speculation, here we come!
Dylan Baker, the actor who played the minor role of Dr. Curt Connors in the last two Spider-Man movies has confirmed that he’ll be in Spider-Man 4. Now, this doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing his scaly alter ego known as The Lizard, but it sure wouldn’t be surprising.
Even if The Lizard wasn’t making his appearance, we’d expect Dr. Curt Connors to play at least a small part again. It wouldn’t make sense to have him involved in the plot of Spider-Man 2 & 3 then throw him away.
During the Q&A segment for a Trick ‘r Treat presentation on Wednesday, Mr. Baker was asked about his involvement in the next Sam Raimi Spidey adventure and he said he was on-board but that he’d just be a smaller background character again.

Dylan Baker Returns For Spider-Man 4 As Curt Connors... And The Lizard?
23 October 2009 4:04 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Dylan Baker joined Michael Dougherty at a Q&A after a screening of Trick 'r Treat at New York's Walter Reade Theater last night, and in amongst questions about the horror movie, Baker revealed that he would indeed be appearing in Sam Raimi's upcoming Spider-Man 4.
According to reports, Baker said that he had just gotten his first call concerning Spider-Man 4 that very day. Baker appeared in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 as Dr. Curt Connors, a professor at Empire State University. In the comics, Dr. Connors is fated to turn into Spidey's scaly foe, The Lizard, but when this transformation will occur in the feature film franchise is as yet a mystery.
When Dougherty ribbed him about "just appearing in the background", Baker said that that's basically what he'd be doing again, but because they were in a jovial mood it's unclear whether he was being truthful »
Dylan Baker to return in Spider-Man 4, but will he become The Lizard?
22 October 2009 6:18 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Dylan Baker is to reprise his role as physics professor Dr Curt Connors in the fourth Spider-Man movie, he has confirmed.
But it's not clear if his character will finally transform into reptilian nemesis the Lizard, as in the comic books.
According to Ugo, the actor said he'd be back playing Dr Connors at Peter Parker's university but would only be 'in the background' rather than in a central role. Time will tell if that's true or not.
Dr Connors was mentioned but never seen in the first Spider-Man, with Baker stepping in to play the character in Spider-Man 2 and 3.
Director Sam Raimi has said he loves the Lizard, a creature into which Connors mutates when using a reptile-derived limb regeneration technique to try to regrow his right arm.
There's been no official news yet of the villains in Spider-Man 4, which begins filming in March and is set »

Baker Returning for Spider-Man 4… as Lizard?
22 October 2009 5:01 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Last night, Dylan Baker was at a special presentation of Halloween horror flick Trick ‘r Treat in New York City. (By the way, if you haven’t seen that yet, it’s on DVD and it’s a great rental for the season). After the screening, Baker answered questions from the audience and Ugo.com was there to hear the good news.
Dylan Baker will return for Spider-Man 4 as Dr. Curtis Connors, a small role in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 at Empire State University. He’s the one who explains the symbiote in the third film that attaches itself to Peter Parker and later Venom.
Michael Dougherty (the TrT director) joked about Baker’s role thus far, remarking that his character was “just appearing in the background.” It’s unclear whether they were saying he’d continue as a small supporting role or if he’d finally step into the spotlight this time. »

Casting the Fours: 'Spider-Man 4' and 'Mad Max 4'
22 October 2009 4:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
There are some big casting rumors circling two big #4 features in the works:
Will Dylan Baker finally have a chance to play the Lizard in Spider-Man 4? Looks that way, as during a Q&A for the new horror flick Trick 'R Treat in New York City the other night, Baker said that he'd just gotten a call regarding Spider-Man 4 and that he's definitely onboard for the fourth installment. Of course, considering the fact that Baker played the unassuming Dr. Curt Connors in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, there's a chance he'll be playing the same boring, no-nothing role for a third time. But since this will most likely be the last film for Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst -- thereby making it the last film within this particular Spider-Man universe -- then I can't see why they wouldn't finally move forward with Baker as the Lizard. »

Does Dylan Baker's Return to Spider-Man Mean We'll See Lizard?
22 October 2009 1:52 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Don't read too much into this, but actor Dylan Baker confirmed at a Q&A for a Trick 'r Treat screening in New York City last night that he would indeed be returning for Spider-Man 4. Ugo has the scoop and says that apparently Trick 'r Treat director Mike Dougherty and Baker were joking a lot during the Q&A, which doesn't necessarily mean that this is a joke. "According to reports, Baker said that he had just gotten his first call concerning Spider-Man 4 that very day." So if Baker, who played Dr. Curt Connors in both Spider-Man 2 and 3, is back, does that mean we may finally see him become the villain The Lizard in Spider-Man 4? Ever since Dr. Connors showed up in Spider-Man 2, missing an arm exactly like his character should, I've been hoping we'd see him turn into The Lizard, preferably sooner than later. »

Dylan Baker to Return as Dr. Curt Connors in Spider-man 4
22 October 2009 10:06 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It may have been a foregone conclusion, but Dylan Baker himself confirmed the good news that he would indeed be reprising his role as Peter Parker’s one-armed Professor/mentor, during a Q&A for Mike Dougherty’s “Trick-r-Treat” (which, by the way, everyone should see, because it’s awesome). While Dr. Connors has appeared in minor roles in the first two Spidey flicks, usually with fewer lines than Bruce Campbell, there has been constant chatter on the interwebs that this may be the film where we finally see Connors transform into the vicious Lizard. For a few more details on what was said at the Q&A, change out your web cartridge and hit the jump.
Ugo reports that after confirming that he had just gotten the call about “Spider-Man 4″ that very day, Baker joked with “Trick-r-Treat” writer/director Dougherty about his role in the film, with Dougherty »

'Big Bang Theory': Wheeeaatonnnn! (Also, Wolowitz kinda gets a girlfriend)
20 October 2009 1:23 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It would appear, Big Bang theorists, that Sheldon has finally found his Khan -- or, maybe, his Kirk. See, if, like me, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of your favorite sci-fi flicks of all time, you probably noticed that the normally exacting Shedon became hilariously unmoored in his white hot rage for Star Trek: The Next Generation wunderkind Wil Wheaton. Quoting both Khan Noonien Singh ("From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!"), and, in a fashion, Capt. James T. Kirk ("Wheeeaatonnnn!"), it was unclear whether Sheldon saw himself as a wronged, genetically superior supervillian battling to destroy Wheaton's impetuous Kirk, »

Will ‘This Is It’ be Bigger than ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Harry Potter’?
15 October 2009 10:13 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The rumor being spread around the blog-o-net today is a mighty hard pill to swallow for me. Deadline Hollywood’s Nikki Finke has heard it through a reliable grapevine that Aeg execs, the concert promoter responsible for Michael Jackson’s incomplete This Is It tour, are expecting Mj’s rehearsal footage movie of the same title to earn, get this, “$250 million in its first 5 days!”
Now I’m sorry, I just can’t see that happening. Let’s remember these people are promoters so it’s their job to build the hype surrounding their client’s products to get us to take the bait and spend our money.
When Nikki Finke brought this rumor of $250 million in five days to her Sony source she received this fascinating response:
“I don’t know what they’re talking about. That would be bigger than Spider-Man and Harry Potter. It’s an event, »
