Entertainment Weekly dropped the first image of Jesse Eisenberg as villain Lex Luthor in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Eisenberg plays Lex Luthor in the eagerly anticipated film.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” says Snyder, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.”

And while you’re staring at Luthor’s penetrating stare, take a closer look at Lex’s eyes and you might see an image of Superman on there!

Batman V Superman arrives on March 25, 2016. Take in the full look below.

Warner Bros.

For some time now, we’ve known that the DC Trinity, Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman would appear together for the first time in next year’s cinematic event Batman V Superman. This week, Snyder all but confirmed that another top-tier DC character, Aquaman, will be joining them in the movie in 2015 by way of an official picture of the thespian in character. This is not a complete surprise as Momoa himself has showered the director with praises, while fan buzz and gossip has been circulating almost all throughout since the movie’s inception.

No one knows yet how large the role will play in the movie, but its becoming increasingly clear at this point that Aquaman will be sharing the screen with DC Trinity in some capacity.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be in theaters March 25, 2016. Aquaman will premiere on July 27, 2018.

Here’s a look at Momoa’s baddass Aquaman

Gene Hackman Is Retired But Still in Charge

By Steven Hyden

The Gene Hackman performance that sticks with me the most didn’t occur in one of his 79 films, but rather in a profile written by Roger Ebert for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1971. Hackman stopped in town on the way to a family reunion in Danville, Illinois, where the Hackman clan settled after wandering across four different states during Gene’s early childhood. Hackman later escaped the Midwest by talking his way into the Marines at 16, and after he was discharged four and a half years later, he wandered some more, living briefly in New York, Florida, back in Danville, then back to New York, and then back to the state where he was born, California, where he was enrolled at and swiftly dismissed from the Pasadena Playhouse. Then Hackman wandered more still, back again to New York and a string of odd jobs that propped up his acting ambitions.

Hugh Jackman Breezes Through CBS’s Ruthlessly Upbeat All-Star Tony Show

Posted on by

By Jeremy Gerard

About midway through CBS’s live telecast of the 68th Tony Awards on Sunday night, host Hugh Jackman told the audience at Radio City Music Hall that the first show he’d ever been cast in was Meredith Willson’s The Music Man. To prepare, in fact, he’d learned all eight parts to Rock Island,’ the opening number of that signature piece of syncopated Americana, and to prove it, he performed a minute or so, sprecht-singing all eight parts.

The first words are: Cash for the merchandise/Cash for the buttonhooks, which sounds like the beginning of an ode to Broadway, 2014. Then he ushered out LL Cool J and TI, and all three of them rapped “Rock Island,” which sounded a lot like Sesame Street, 1995. It was funny and toothless. Much the same can be said for the most breathlessly upbeat Tony broadcast in memory. Almost nothing memorable happened over the course of just over three hours of good cheer.

Jackman looked somewhat raffish and ragged of beard, as though he was coming from an audition for a revival of Sunday In The Park With George.

As expected, 12 Years A Slave won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday. But it was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity that took most of the trophies with seven including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.

It was also a good night for the low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club,”. Both of the movie’s stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won in their respective categories. In a remarkable career comeback, McConaughey won Best Actor for his role of an early AIDS activist Ron Woodroof, while co-star Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof’s sidekick.

In a night with few surprises, other top acting prizes include Cate Blanchett for “Blue Jasimine”, and Lupita Nyong’o for “12 Years a Slave”.

Here is the full list of winners > Continue reading →

Paul Walker’s “Fast and Furious 4″ car for sale at $1.4 million

Paul Walker’s “Fast and Furious 4″ Nissan GT-R for sale at $1.4 million

A few years ago Steve McQueen’s GT40 fetched for $11 million on a Pebble Beach Auction block, becoming the most expensive American car ever sold. Following the unexpected death of Paul Walker, the tradition of collecting celebrity vehicles is back in business.

Check out the car here: http://suchen.mobile.de

The car in the ad is allegedly the same one used by Paul Walker’s character in Fast and the Furious franchise, a Nissan Skyline GT-R of the R34 which appeared in the fourth film. Apparently, the car was seized by the US government a few months ago, along with many other cars, due to auto safety and emission rules non-compliance.

So how did it end up being in Germany?

A few months ago, a German car magazine posted a review of the car, wherein the owner also reveals its in his possession and has on sale for 300,00 euros (around $400k). Within the last few days, another ad for the car has come up, only this time with a new price: 1 million euros (approximately $1,373,000).

It is kind of creepy when someone cashes in on a former celebrity ownership. But in this day and age, we all know it won’t be the last.

‘Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Tracking for Massive $185M Box-Office Opening

Posted on by

By Todd Cunningham

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is tracking for an opening weekend that could go as high as $185 million when it debuts on Nov. 22, based on box-office marketing data released Thursday.

The higher pre-release tracking goes, the less reliable it becomes, and we’re still three weeks away from the opening. But the Jennifer Lawrence sci-fi sequel looks like it will be a box-office monster for distributor Lionsgate Entertainment.

If it does hit that mark, “Catching Fire” would be the year’s biggest opening, ahead of the $174 million May debut of “Iron Man 3.” And it’s within striking distance of the all-time record for a weekend debut of $207 million, established by “The Avengers” in May of 2012. The record for a November opening, the $142 million rung up by “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in 2009, is well within reach.
