MONDAY

Sherlock series 3 new: we have our villain! Apparently the villain of the last episode. And it’s The Killing star Lars Mikkelsen! Also known as the brother of Mads Mikkelsen. His character is called Charles Augustus Magnussen, who is totally Charles Augustus Milverton, which is awesome because The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton is my favourite Sherlock Holmes story ever. So yep, I’m pretty pumped!

Spike Lee’s Old Boy has been kicked back again… from October 25th to November 27th. Yup, a whole month. That’s totally not good news.

Yeah, you know how Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be in a new Conan The Barbarian movie? Rumor has it, that one could be the first one in a trilogy, because Schwarzenegger is so awesome~

What does ‘Japan Saga’ writer Chris Claremont think of The Wolverine? The same as many of us. The first two acts were made of awesome, the last one… not so much~

The first two acts were kick-ass, and they set this up to be a really exceptional, different movie. It was like the film took this giant step forward. I liked that it focuses on the essence of who Wolverine is and what he does. Hugh Jackman is eloquent, and he owns the character at this point. It’s a surprisingly multidimensional performance. The third act wasn’t bad, per se, but it was a different tone. That moment he starts motorcycling up the 400 kilometers … he was almost riding into a different movie. It would be interesting to talk to Mangold and ask why they felt they had to go in that direction. 

So Disney is going to make an Artemis Fowl movie. Well, I liked the books fine enough… five years ago. I mean, sure, the last book was published last year… but still! It’s hype time was half a decade ago! Oh well, the movie will be based on the first two books in the series. And what’s more curious, Disney will co-produce with Harvey Weinstein. Now that’s a twist!

TUESDAY

Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor? It’s just the newest Doctor Who rumor but I could live with that! He was so much fun in The Thich of It. Could you imagine the Doctor as such a hilarious bastard?

Also, lucky bastards in Cardiff will get to be inside the T.A.R.D.I.S. as part of the Doctor Who Experience~

The best thing about the TARDIS set is that it’s totally enclosed, so once you’re in it, it truly is like being on board. There’s no imaginary fourth wall – it’s like being inside a giant sci-fi globe. And you’re not only allowed to walk around the console, you get to walk downstairs and peer underneath as well.

Oh hey, Joss Whedon has revealed he always wanted an Avenger movie with Ultron~

I was pitching Ultron before I took the job on the first movie. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this, but for the second one, you should totally do Ultron.’ Because he’s been a thorn in their side as much as any other character over the years and particularly back in my history. He was great. He’s somebody who can juice things up and he’s a real problem for the Avengers. That’s not always easy to find. It’s not like the Vulture is really going to give them a hard time for 20 minutes.

A Flash TV series? On the CW, just like Arrow? In fact, The Flash will first appear on the upcoming second season of Arrow when he’s still a regular dude. And it will totally be Barry Allen~

We plan to introduce the recurring character of Barry Allen, who is the Flash. We’re planning an origin story, and we’ll see how it goes. We do want to expand on the DC Universe, and we felt this is a very organic way to get there.
